NOT GUILTY,

The verdict of the jury in the Cohen
Railey case does not surprise us in the
least. We are not prepared, therefore, to
throw our hat in the air and shrek like a
lunatic at an event which is not only
proper in itself, but one that men had
reason to expect. The screeching crowd
that hailed the verdict in Carrollton had
undoubtedly prejudged the case and con-
demned the prisoners in advance. They
evidently believed them guilty. and were
both gratiied at the acquittal and aston
ished to find an honest jury in Louisiana
Had two Republicans been on trial before
Democratic jury for attempting to assas-
sinate John McEnery. such evidence as
that elected at Carrollton would have set.
tied their case for them, and insured theil
conviction.
When Mr.. Cohen was first arrested We
took some pains to inquire into the mat
ter and became satisfied that he could es
tablish his innocence. We stated SO or
one or two occasions. and were complain
ed of by some of the rather jealous agents
employed to "work up the case" It ap.
pears they have not worked it up. They
were as badly mistaken as some of our ole
rebels. Both parties proceeded upon the
hypothesis that Mr.. Cohen was guilty
Both are disappointed. One because they
have lost their time and their reputation
for sagacity, while the other are grieve6
to find that Mr.. Cohen is not zone O

THE UNIFIcATIOE PROBLEM.

The proceedings Of the meeting Of the
one hundred citizens. white and colored.
recently held il New Orleans, appears to
be the leading conundrum for papers at
distance. Many Of them make point of
boasting of their own imbecility, and hold
it as meritorious no. to understand any
thing about it. To which we reply that
it is not at all important that they
should. The gentlemen most deeply in
terested in the matter understand the
case sufficiently to shape their course in
telligently. and as they are acting for
themselves and on their own response
bility, they are not accountable to those
who are disposed to inquire out Of mere
curiosity. The Mobile Register is the
only paper We have yet seen that
condemns the movement solely upon
principle. That remaining relic Of
Unreconstruction is bold and outspoken
against a departure from the policy that has
kept the South poor, and arrayed one half
Of the people against the other. Many
other journals have expressed doubts as
to the favorable results SO sanguinely ex-
pected to flow from the general fraterniza-
ton CT the two races. While the remarks
of the Register are regarded as imperti-
nent and obtrusive. those of the other
journals alluded to are entirely proper. It
is one thing to champion wrong, and
quite another to discuss the best way to
remove il.
The New York Tribune. however. actu-
ated by some motive that does not clearly
appear. is snappishly in favor of the new
party compact. and intimates that the
Louisiana carpet-baggers oppose it. In
this respect that journal does injustice to
a class Of our people to which the editor
himself would belong were he to be dis
charged by his directors and wander down
South to seek his fortune. He is no less
mistaken in regard to the Republican
press Of New Orleans and Washington:

We published yesterday morning cir
cular from Auditor Clinton, developing
new treasury regulation. The Auditor
gives very cogent reasons for his proposed
action, which it will be seen is approved
by Governor Kellogg. The plan consists
in o regulation by which the financial
officers of the State are to buy warrants
from the original holders, at a price to be
determined by the latter. It will, if sue
cessful, result in covering many warrants
in the treasury at less than par. At pres
ent we can say no more than that we sin
cerely hope the arrangement will succeed.
The proposition, the object and the mo-
tives are good, and certain difficulties in
the way may be dodged or overcome. If
not. we shall none Of US be any worse off
than we are now.

PROPOSALS
FOR THE PURCHASE OF
OUTSTANDING WARRANTS.


STATE OF EorIsIASA,)
Auditors Office. ,
New Orleans June p, 1873.
The attention ott.e creditors os the State, more
especially of those who are holders Of outstanding
warrants and OF al. citizens. whether hostile TO
the present administration not, is earnestly in
voked to the following statement Of facts. also
ask an impartial consideration Of the plan hereby
inausurated. ov which a large amount of the float
ing debt of the State may be retired during the
current year, from current receipts, which must
otherwise DE carried forward to succeeding years,
and ultimately funded and paid in fall. with .
la rye amount of interest added.
make this appeal to the public because the
pro posed measure will depend largely for its full
success upon the good will, good sense and for
bear of citizens of all parties II will be
that the object sought is not in any sense party
measure, and the benefits expected will inure sole
ly to the taxpayers in material diminuton OF fu.
tUre obligations.
The funded debt Of the state is s22, O2,8oS. The
receipts into the treasury on account of interest
have been, for the first five months of the current
fiscal year S52l ATS Il, and the amount of war
rants drawn on that fund 1922 ,769 Il. am salts.
fed that the same ratio of receipts to the credit of
the interest fund will be maintained throughout
the year, and in that event the interest on all
legal obligations of the State be promptly paid
as fast as it natures.
The credit OF the State, far its bonded debt is
co ncerned. is therefore, amply provided for, and
no reasonable apprehension need be felt as to our
ability to sustain the policy of prompt payment OF
interest. The large deficit in the payment of the
int crest of last year has also been made good. In
addition would say that if proceedings lately in.
situ ted in the courts shall result there is some
reason to believe they WILL in establishing the e
galty of considerable portion of the bonded
debt the interest levy Of succeeding years will be
very materially reduced.
The receipts into the treasury on account Of the
school fnnd have been for five months, STA l20 49,
and the amount OF warrants drawn against that
fund for the same time, e93 ,3l5 q. The same
ration Of receipts for the remainder of the yeaI
will leave no outstanding indebtedness on account
of that fund.
The receipts for the same time on account Of the
levee fund have been Sla 3,5a5 81, and the war
rants drawn against that fund, $l92 l2l y; from
which 1t will be that no considerable deficit
on account OF this fund need be apprehended.
From this exhibit it is apparent that the floating
debt Of the State not likely to be increased fol
want of sufficient to the credit of the ''in
terest fund" the school fund" the "levee
fund" But the condition of the remaining OF
general fund.- against which the mass of the out
standing warrants, which now constitute the float
ing debt, was drawn, is unfortunately much worse
The following is a statement of the outstanding
warrants drawn against the general fund. viz

New Orleans for sending it over the wires.
The shot has hit home, or there wouldn't
be such bowling.
Without pretending 70 know what
is meant by the terms "both organs at
New Orleans, and the more abject one at
Washington" we are able to assure the
Tribun. and its deIuded readers that there
is no paper in this city that bitterly as
sails the resolutions adopted or proposed
for adoption by the one hundred white
and colored citizens. The Tribune can
not quote single sentence from any New
Orleans OF Washington paper to sustain
the above charges. The Democratic pa
pers here generally regard the movement
with passive favor, while the REPUBLICAN
has been contending all its life for the
very principles contained in the resolu-
tions. But we do not grow intensely en-
thused at. the accession Of fifty or hun
dred very respectable gentlemen to our
platform. The fact that we already had a
majority of the voters Of this State on our
side threw the business of rejoicing on the
occasion on the other. 1t is for the Demo-
crat, who has been all his life in the
wrong, and sufferer of late years for his
errors. to rejoice and jubilate over the
conversion of himself and friends. 1t is
for the REPUBLICAN merely to experience
glow of quiet satisfaction for his triumph.
The idlers and loafers of New Orleans
are likely to go without any great excite
ment for awhile. They have had rather
surfeit of good things recently, and the
reaction that is threatened is dishearten-
ing. The DeBlanc trial went of without
much eclat: the Hawkins-Picayune case
was more exciting, but terminated unsat-
isfactorily to our unemployed patriots;
the Cohen-Railey trial was first rate. but
only lasted five days. Besides, it was too
far away. There is case sleeping some-
where in the grand jury room which
might be revived now. unless something
better occurs. We were promised some
startling developments about an assault
with intent to murder. but as yet have
seen nothing. Unless something is found
that ''the people" can applaud, there will
be discomfort, and some of them may ac-
tually be driven to work for amusement.
Hurry up an exciting case and avert such
misfortune.
