Kellogg Legislature.

We express the hope that mono of tho
legally elected members Of tho Legislature
will enter the Kellogg assembly. In the
first place, that body is not the rishtful
Legislature. Fraud of the rankest order
stood sponsor at its birth. In the second
place. no matter how many legally elected
members apply for seats, only as MANY win
be admitted Us will still leave the KELLOGG
usurpation in power. The few who will DO
seated will be powerless to do any good.
but will give character and undisputed
sway to that body.
We warn the Fusionists against Kellogg's
promises, and against the promises of all
those acting with him. What they are
striving for is simply to strengthen their
own case by the acquiescence of the Flu.
sionists in the rule of tho kellogg usurpa
ton. As we'll lose it all, at once, US to cs
tablish fraud and try to make fair W oa.he,

Tax Collectors Advertisements

Tax Collectors Advertisements.
We have observed that the collectors in
both this and Claiborne parishes, make q
separate advertisement against each tax
payers property offered for sale. In most
cases this plan costs the owner of the pro-
perry at least six dollars more than it
should. The same heading, the title of the
suit excepted, win answer for all the sales.
and the same concluding terms, also. Thus,
Titus Hill, in this parish, is charged in last
weeks extra Intelligencer, nine dollars for
an advertisement, when the same ADVERTISE
ment could have been legally made for
three dollars, even under our extravagant,
infamous printing law. In the Same paper,
we see that Capt. Jno. McKoin is charged
S12 for an advertisement exactly the Same
size the one for which Titus Hill is
charged only 80.
Tax gatherers simply make their trouble
greater by these unnecessary exactions
upon tho taxpayer. The introductions
and conclusions to all these tax advertise
ments, comprising generally two-thirls OF
the cost, are identical, verbatim ct litera-
tim. There is no reason for repeating these
words Of form in each case, when once
stating the law fully covers them all. The
taxes are high enough we all know, with
out these inexcusable bon-bons to official

Vicegerent Durcll.

Gen. Beast Butler has secured the passage
of a resolution sending a sub committee OF
two to New Orleans, to inquire into the
charge made against Judge Durell, of mis-
appropriating funds collected in his court
in tho course of bankruptcy proceedings
therein, by Judge Durell himself. This is
one of the charges made against Durell in
the proposed impeachment of that func-
tionary.
From what we have repeatedly heard con-
corning proceedings in bankruptcy before
Durell's court we shall be greatly surprised
if this Judge is not proven to have been
concerned in some of the most corrupt ju-
dicial transactions Of this, or any her age
estates of great value have gone into that
court, and, in some way, the proceeds have
been used up so completely that nothing
was left for the creditors. Banlkrupts have
surrendered property OF value, obtained
their discharges, and then regained possess
sion of tho same property and had money
beside to recommence business on even an
increased scale. In short, the impression
we have, from often hearing these questions
discussed, is, that matters had to be "fixed"
with Durell, or Norton, the universal as
signee, before a bankrupt could come out
of bankruptcy with any funds LEFT. If the
legal fraternity of the State will divulge
what each member knows of this business, !
we are quite sure that Judge Duren will be !
oternally disgraced-bad as that would be |
for a Radical such as he is ]

There lived in Monroe, many years ago.

senses, put his feet in position and came
sheepishly out of his watery grave. When
night, DR.. Palmer got revenge. It is related
that Charley Bofenschen coming Off the
boat, tipped his toe on the stage in an effort
to turn around gracefully, then lost his
reckoning and next thing found himself in
thirty feet Of water. Charley weighs over
200 pounds. The deck hands suddenly
started for the shore the wharf, boat strain
ed her cabling and moved out there was a
wide chasm in the water down to the mud,
and the Belle rocked under the influence of
the rolling waves. Charley arose to the
surface, cabled to some floating stuff, and
was rescued by anxious friends who had
witnessed his fall. A small family, having
q requisition for full suit of gentleman's
wear, not knowing what had occurred, were
in anxious waiting for the head of the fam
lily until after IL o'clock that night. Charley
will hereafter give his full attention to all
the grubs and roots ON steamboat stages.
He is not aware that he has done anything
that ought to go in print.

The virginius.

Attorney General Williams, so the tele-

all the papers, that the virginius was not
entitled to carry the American flag at tho
time Of her capture by the Tornado.
It is stated that our government win in
stituts legal proceedings at once against the
,vizsinlus and all surviving American citi-
Gems ON board, for alleged violation of the
laws Of Neutrality. !s
1t II not clear to us how the United States
can proceed against vessel not entitled to
citizens who voluntarily embarked on such
. vessel, for hostile purposes. II the vir-
ginius could not sail on the open seas under
our flag, what principle of law can be in
voked to justify this government in con-
demning the vessel3 If American citizens
voluntarily sailed on q vessel, engaged In
hostile purposes against friendly power,
and this government maintains that citi-
zenship may be surrendered, or Transferred,
at viii, what quarrel can the United States
have In behalf OF the survivorswho were
on board the virginius and have been sur
rendered to this government by Spanish
authoritiesf ~..s4-sss:. SIS t,sr
There is q law Of Spain that offenders
against its peace such as the men captured
on the virginius and executed, are pirates,
and as such they were tried, condemned
and executed. If the Attorney General has
decided that the virginius was not entitled
to protection by the American government,
in the present status of affairs the Admin
istration Of President Grant is in worse
middle than ever, and is likely to como to
q shamful humiliation, all from making
great pretensions for the honor of the flag
which could not be successfully maintained.
