TIE DEBT OF THE CITY TO THE FIRE.

der which the pres ent debt is due. ex-
PRED. At that time man: propositions
were presented for the relief Of both the
city and the Association. The latte. had
been compelled to take its pay in depre.
ciated city paper. and even at that loss
the city was still in its debt. Its large
surplus, which years Of prosperity lad
accumulated for charitable purposes. was
rapidly dwindlas as applied for the sup
por. OF the department. and the city was
forcibiy warned at tina. time tina. it could
not las. much longer.
The impracticable remedy of purchase
from tie association by the cit; was
abandoned after long Gua.re! b: its sup
porters and new contract made. In
making this contract the association dis.
played its ,,s,a! generosity and patriotism
by > reduction OF terms.
But matters Wen: OF in the old way.

taxes collected were not suaicien: 20 meet

ANEW DEMOCRATIC DODGE.

I: is understood that the Democratic
committees will present to the supervisors
Of the several wards lists Of persons who
will be charged with having falsely regis.
tered. These lists will be presented at
the last moment before election, with the
expectation that the supervisors will be
compelled to strike off the names upon
such er parte proof.
To thwart this movement it is under
stood that rule will be established re-
quiring all applicants to have names
stricken from the lists to be made within
five days Of the closing of the registration.
This will be just to both parties, as the
supervisors will be enabled to fully inves-
tigate every case, or at least will be able
to give the opposite party in every case
notice of such application, in order that
counter proof may be furnished.

DISCHARGING EMPLOYEES AND WITH
HOLDING WAGES.

The election law inficts a heavy PEN
atty upon persons found guilty Of dis
charging employees or Withholding their
wages on account Of any vote they may
have given or are about to give. The fifty
fifth section of the law reads as follows:
That any person who shall discharge from
his employment any labOrer, employee, ten
ant or mechanic, who shall have been work
ing for such person under cOntrat, written
or oral. for specified time, before such
time shall have expired. or who shall with.
hold from any laborer, employe, tenant or
mechanic, any part OF the wages due such

DISTINGUISHED ARRIVALS.

Sandwitched among the reappearance
Of gentlemanly hotel keepers and genial
liquor dealers we saw in the court column
Of the Picuyune the return Of two distin-
guished ex-oficial gentlemen who ''spend
the summer in New York and the winter
in New Orleans. They present an ap-
pearance of great yobustitude." and ex-
press their ''warm support and sympathy
in the cause of the people versus the Kel-
logg usurpation." The paragraph does lot
say how long these visitors will remain.
Certainly at least until after the election
and the meeting Of Congress. The abb
sence and appearance of these political
experts are alike significant. RESPONSE
be for much, if not all the odium which
rests upon the Republican party. they
would have made as bad figure heads now
as they did in the Fusion Legislature.
Experienced in the conduct Of Louisiana
politics, they re-appear precisely at "a mo.
ment when such counse.s are most valua.
bic. To say. however. that these distin-
suished individuals are in warm sympa-
thy With the people against the Kellogg
usurpation," is species of sarcas-
tic ingratitude. Governor Kellogg
has been assaulted. not Oh account of
an alleged illegality Of his commission.
That question has been RENTED to Con.
gress for decision. This hue and cry
against Governor Kellogg has been on
account of the debt and taxes resting
upon the people of the city and State.
Upon whom does the responsibility for
this debt and taxes justly rest: Upon the
predecessors in Office and in legislation of
Governor Kellogg. He found the debt
and taxes ready made. He has done all
in his power to reduce both. and here
comes Ills predecessor in Office with his
Aclaates. enriched by the patronage Of that
predecessor. to pitch into and perhaps aid
in manipulating an effort to evict by force
an officer Of the State whom they could
neither defeat in the Republican party or
out of it, in Louisiana or at Washington.
We congratulate the P;cny,ue on such al
lies. They are about the same political
stature with itself. but with the help Of
Just cause and a fair election. the Repub-
lican party will triumph over the conjoint
force and legeldemaia which can be united

the payment by the city to the association

the payment by the city to the association
of over $4,000.
For eight months the association and
the contributions of members have been
all the support Of the department. The
treasures of the companies have been ex.
hausted, and the association is no longer
able to aid them. The pre- diction Of the
year 1872 is verified by the following let
ter Of Mr.. !. n. Marks. president of the
association:
To the Honorable the Common Council Of New
Orleans:
GENTLEMEN-i am instructed BY the
board OF delegates of The Firemen's Charl-
| table Association to call your attention to
| the unfortunate financial condition OF the
| fire department of our city. and to suggest
d measure Of relief. The sum now due the
| association by the city is about 500 900;
Many OF the companies have not paid their
| employees for several months. They are
| heavily in debt for everything they use. 1t
| is now evident that they can not exist
| longer without aid. Their employees Will
have to be discharged and their apparatus
laid up. As the protection OF our city IL
/ involved in this contingency. some measure
/ traordinary in charactey) 20 avoid SO great
| a misfortune.
lean not but believe tina. the creditors OF
the city and the taxpayers would consent 10
any measure adopted by the Council looking
10 the maintenance of the fire department.
therefore respectfully suggest that you
consent to or direct that all sums OF money
that may be hereafter paid into the treasury
by the insurance companies OF our city be
imnoNiafQ1v maid fU this association.
against the amount now due to 1t by the
city for the extinguishment OF tires.
II this arrangement is cOnsImmated,
believe that the insurance companies can DE
induced to promptly pay ill taxes due by
them.
Respectfully submitted.
I. N. MARKS, President.
The situation exhibited by this terse
epistle is appalling. At the same time it
discioses how mu ch the city. not alone in
money, is indebted to the association. its
members and the department they have
so efficiently maintained in the face of
such discouraging circumstances. En-
couraged by the action of the Legislature
and trusting the city would carry out its
intent, they have gone hopefully on to the
end Of their means.
Only one encouraging circumstance ap.
pears in the letter, and that is that the
insurance companies are now willing to
do the duty which devolved upon them
six months ago. In view of this fact, as
stated by Mr.. Marks, the City Council.
after considering his letter, framed an
ordinance which was read once and laid
over. 1t will be found in the Council
proceedings in another column.
