ACT NO. l.

The Fusion Legislature can not be ac-
cused of haste, whatever other faults may
be laid at its door. After session Of
| about fifty days it can only show as &C.
| complished facts the election of a short
United States Senator, and the following
| act:
An act to suspend the collection of taxes
| and of payments into and from the State
Treasury.
WHEREAS, The records, books and &C
counts of the Auditors office have been by
force of arms illegally seized and taken pos
| session of by one Charles Clinton, who
| usurps the office of State Auditor; and,
whereas, the State Treasurer, in contempt
Of the constitution and laws, has paid, and
admits the intention of continuing to pay,
warrants issued by said usurper; and,
Whereas. James Graham, the right
full Auditor elect, is prevented from regu-
larly performing his duties while the re-
cords of his Office are thus forcibly detained
by SAID Clinton;
SECTION |. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the State
of Louisiana in General Assembly convened,
That until James Graham, the State Audi
tor, RECEIVERS possession of the records and
account books of his office, the State Treas
urer is forbidden from paying any warrants
issued by one Charles Clinton, who, in VIC
lation of the constitution and laws, pre-
tends to hold the office of State Auditor;
that during the said usurpation the sheriffs
and other collectors of State taxes are pro
hiblted from settling with said Charles
Clinton, or paying any sum whatever into
the State treasury, and also during said
usurpation, all persons indebted to the
State tor taxes or any other cause, are
authorized and required to refuse, suspend
and delay the payment of the same, and
they are exempted from all suits, proceed
ings, seizures and penalties in consequence
of such refusal and delay.
SEC 3. Be it further enacted, etc, That
all laws or parts of laws conflicting with
the provisions of this act be. and the same
are hereby repealed, and that this act shall
take effect from and after its passage.
1t is expected that this law will favor
ably affect the fusionists in two ways.
First, it is q concession, in spirit of
demagogry, to the tax resisters who build
grand homes and business stands, and de-
mand protection for their property with
out contributing to defray the expense.
Second, it will relieve Mr.. McEnery from
the annoyance OF candidates for positions
for the offices of tax collector. We can,
however, see a fine opportunity for some
ambitious attorney to make fat fee, pro-
gided he can find client with plethoric
pocketbook and deficient in common
sense. Let case be made up by which
Mr.. Dubuclet can be enjoined from paying
any warrants issued by Charles Clinton,
and try the issue to conclusion. Such a
suit might save expenses of railroad travel
to Washington, ''telegraphing, printing"
etc, which the Democracy, with charac-
terlstic generosity. has heretofore let Gov
ernot Warmoth defray. Since he has
gone. and no one is left to look after such
some provision for o. substitute
becomes necessary and We think We can
see il in act Nc. i.

It's hardly necessary foI us TO explain
TO any sensible fair-minded person that
the object embraced in the bill for the re-
lief of the State Printer is not what the
Times states it to be. No authority is
given therein for Che payment of one dol
lar to make up for discount on warrants
for the past or the future, and the assertion
OF our contemporary that such is the case
is certainly gratuitous, and probably ma
hclous. 1t IS intended merely as an ordi-
Harry appropriation to pay for work done.
tor which no warrants have been issued,
and also for work estimated GO be necess
sary to be done before the annual appro-
priation can be authorized il the usual
MANNER The last Legislature appropri.
ated one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars to pay fog all the printing

OF relief is proper thing to ask for.
The bill simply proposes to pay for such
work as has been performed, or which
may hereafter be performed, and not a
cent more can be drawn under the appro-
pnatlon than can be proved up. If prac-
ucal reform means refusal TO pay the
honest obligations Of the State, we ioiD
with the Times in cautioning the Lcgisla-
ture against INDIGENOUS haste" But

STRAWS,

The gfmss has been elected official
journal Of the Odd Fellows administra-
ton. SO much for the service of the Pic
dy1Gscs We are curious to know whether
this indicates the policy of the fusion
party. Are the Reformers and their organ
to be thrown overboardr is there no
reward fox consistent service in the cause
OF this people, This is ingratitude. Per-
haps after all it is only q mistake Per-
haps the Odd Fellows have forgotten that
the "organ" has changed hands, and
that the contract which was originally
made is now no longer binding. We
throw out this objection in order to calm
the agitated nerves of thepeoples paper.

From this last statement it will be seen
that the determination of the Georgians
to have an honest State government, to
scrutinize the liabilities of the treasury, to
recognize and provide for the honest obi
gat ons and discard the illegal and fraudu-
lent creations of the lobby, has improved
the credit and inspired renewed confidence
in the destinies of this great State Louisi-
ana, falling into line with Virginia and
Georgia, promises the same results in
train of consummation. Let our Legisia-
ture persevere in the system adopted, and
the character and credit of Louisiana will
be restored and assured.
