purpose here, and wished to borrow a
thousand dollars from his contingent fund.
In any view Of the case, we consider the
subscription Of one thousand dollars to
aid the Shreveport sufferers very proper
thing to do and quite as judicious use
to apply the money to as paying city
newspapers for publishing quarantine
proclamationso We learn, for instance,
that one Of the daiies has charged up
small! item Of eight hundred do.
lars for such service. and is
now ufging its claim upon the e1ecu.
tive for payment as Governor kellogg
has no control over any other appropria.
ton than those for his salary and the con.
tingent expenses Of his Office. and as he
could not reasonably be expected to pay
such q bill! GU: Of his salary. j. follows
that our contemporary is pursuing the
contingent fund. Now. we atlmi: the
propriety and necessity Of the Shreveport
subscription, bu. question whether pub.
FISHING quarantine proclamation in more
Than one paper was necessary at all If
the Governor. however. decides to pay
even this doubtful claim. and the proper
officers finally approve the payment. We
shall not complain. Some latitude is
properly allowed to officers vested with
discretionary powers. 1t looks 3 present
as though the Herald has been imposed
upon by practical joker. and has taken
for genuine dispatch weak invention
OF the enemy. As there is no great public
Importance attached to il. we hope Mr..
Clarke will refrain from bursting the
bubble as long as possible. and thus

GOVERNOR KELIoGG's CONTRIBUTION.

II was. perhaps. too much to expec,
that Governor Kellogg's absence from
home would not be improved by the Her.
aid to attack him in one shape OF another,
though to do that journal justice it is no,
wanting in audacity at any time. In
yesterdays edition We find what purports
to be copy Of private dispatch TO Mr..
Clarke. with challenge TO that gentle.
man TO deny, over his own signature, its
authenticity. The purpors Of the dis.
patch is ii direction to take one Thousand
dollars out Of the executive contingent
fund. ask Mr.. Clinton to cash the war.
rant. and forward the proceeds to Shreye.
port for the use Of the Howard Associa.
ton. To this is added the suggestive
injunction. tell the newspapers" Now.
without stopping to ask the Herald by
VIVA. means it happened to obtain posses
sion Of a private dispatch of the very
delicate character implied by this pur-
ported copy. we may inform the public
that Mr.. Clarke certainly sent no such
message to us. though he did notify us
Of the subscription. How far that gen.
tleman may consider himself bound TO
rush into print over his private signature.
at the request OF the Herald, is tor him.
self to determine. We have little doubt
that he could say. if he thought the occa.
sion warranted it. that if the Governor
ever sent him such dispatch it had been
missent to the Herald. not having been
received by him. But supposing the
Governor had actually directed his pri-
Vate secretary to take the money, in whole |
Or in part, out of the contingent fund, |
We can not see that it would amount to a |
Ease of misfeasance in Office. By law the
Governor is made the Judge of when and
or what purpose it is proper to expend
his fund, with the condition that he shall
ender detailed account to the Legisla-
ure Of the items for which it is disbursed.
The injunction to 'tell the newspapers"
S probably incorrect, as the private secre-
airy; who is proverbial for obedience to
riders, has not told any of the papers
nything like such statement as is pub
ished in the Herald. Perhaps the Cover

CALL THE WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENSE

1t is not an uncommon thing tina, the
police are compelled to investigate
offenses committed in the highest circles.
While gentlemen and ladies profess igno-
rance of a burglary or a murder, justice
demands the same rigid inquiry of them
as OF others. So with very courteous
resolution, the most elegant and exclusive
people are put on the stand and compelled
to testify. Public sentiment demands
thorough investigation into the late
election frauds. 1t is proper that the
people should know who is responsible
for the moral wrong which has been
committed ia their name and upon their
rights. There is now grave charge that
the leaders Of the Fusion party were cogni
zant Of a contract by which supervisor
of registration should be appointed tax col
lector of a parish in consideration of his
