One being nimble fellow, betook himself
to tree. The other had no resource ex'
cept to fall on his face and sham dead.
The bear after smelling him carefully
passed op. The fellew who had betaker
himself to the tree, rejoined his companion
and faceiously remarked:
Il observed that the bear seemed tc
whisper something in your car. What
did he say?'
THAT bear" replied his companion,
'gave me an excellent piece OF advice. It
was never sgain to associate with q
wretch who, in the hour OF danger, would
desert his friend"
Such we should suppose would be the
answer Of every Southern man, misled
and Abandoned by the World and
other State rights Northern Democrats.
They now set up State rights with a
remuneration of the only State remedy.
The South well knows that if it acted
upon the advice of the World, and got
into any trouble, the latter would turn
States evidence against States rights,
hoist the Union flag and hire a substitute.
If their dupes should appeal to their
pretended devotion to the rights of the
States, they would very soon learn that
States rights were, in the action and
opinion Of the Northern States rights
Democrats, obsolete.

that Mr.. Richardson, to be consistent,
will have to reject the last bid. Some of
our contemporaries have expressed hope
that this will be accepted, claiming it as a
sort of rghtful concession to the city
for. its sufferings in consequence Of the
war, and the taxes it has paid.
Without stopping here 10 strike
balance in the account current between
New Orleans and Uncle Sam, OF express
ing any opinion as 20 whether the city
was more to blame foY the losses Of the
United States than the latter for the ex.
penses Of the city, we are compelled 10
remind Gu. neighbors that it is no. in the
power Of the Secretary Of the Treasury TO
make donation, however worthy the ob-
ject may be. Perhaps Congress nigh. be
prevailed upon 20 authorize the Secretary
to approve sale Of q property for fifty
thousand dollars for which ffty-one thou
sand dollars bas already been offered and
rejected. But we do not think il would
be quite right to advise the Secretary of
the Treasury to take such a responsibility.
We vote for the acquisition Of the Marine
Hospital by the city OF State either, on
as favorable terms as possible, but we do
not forget that Mr.. Lenes has the call at
present, and tina. Congress is the only
power that can rightfully discriminate in
favor Of corporation.

New Orleans, June 49, 1873.
wHAH,.s. I: appears from information received
from the Auditors Office, and from other sources
that many just claims exist against the State.
which under article l39 Of :he constitution can
not be paid for want Of appropriation, which eases
are Justly entitled to legislative relief: and
Whereas On the otLt; hand many fraudulent
or at least, improper claims. have been in previous
years hUIfedly passed upon and provided Tor in
various general appropriation bills; and
Whereas While it is but just that all legitimate
claims should be promptly iiquidated it is equally
essential that claims Of every description ehou!d
be carefully scTUtinized before being passed upon
and
Whereas. The law makes j, the duty of the An.
ditor to investigate unliquidated claims against
the State and make recommendations concerning
the same to the Legislature:
Now. therefore, in order to arrive at the true
merits of such outstanding claims, and to enable
the Auditor to make the proper recommendations
IN such cases, favOring those which are Just and
reIecnng those which are fraudulent, parties hav
Ing claims against the State on which they desire
legislative action are hereby requested to forward
them 10 the Auditor, together with such vouchers
ard proofs az will enable that officer to ascertain
the merits of the same; and no claim will receive
the executive approval unless they have been pre-
sented and paesed upon in the manner herein indi.

Such il the heading Of card published il the
morning papers by Mr. Robert Brewster, foreman
of Creole No 9. The heading Of the card 10 well
calculated to deceive the public: but on further

permission for No. 9 from the Board Of Connie
sioners of the Firemen's Charitable Association to

That you are the champions of the Claiborne and
