WHEN DOES CONGRESS INTEND TO ACT IN
THE DURELL CASE!
[st. Louis Republican. slst inst.l

[St. Louis Republican. 31st inst.l
committee was sent to New Orleans in
search or facts. Facts were so abundant
there that ten days or two weeks sufficed to
gather all necessary material for an exhaus-
tive report, and then the committee came
home again. Three months have elapsed
since the return, aud yet the incubation is
not finished-why, it is not difficult to
guess.
This man Durell is the pivot on which
turns the monstrous political machine which
grinds Louisiana into the dust OF humilia-
ton and despair. 1t was his so called ''deci-
sion" which afforded the Administration an
excuse for recognizing and reinforcing the
Kellogg dynasty, and thereby handing over
tine State to the rule of the most corrupt
combination which exists in an age infamous
for its corruption.
Whatever impugned the character of Du-
rell would reflect more or less upon his de-
cision, and whatever touched the decision
would involve more or less the Administers
ton. The Administration being sacred
thing in the eyes of the party responsible
for its conduct, the committee practices the
art of chow not to do it," and drags work
which might have been finished in a fort
| night, from January into April. Meanwhile
Dureli haunts his dirty ermine in the face
of an oppressed people; Kellogg on his car
pet-bag throne lords it over State VIII, sc
ruin he has we'll nigh consummated; the
| Administration chuckles over the postpone
ment of a business which it can neither de
fend nor atone for, and the party is-safe.
| Durell, as we have more than once said
| is person of no sort of consequence so far
as he himself is concerned, but he happens
to occupy a prominent place in drama Of
wrong and outrage which has had nc
parallel in the history of the republic. Il
his deeds can be shown up in their proper
light, and if he is punished in a manner ap
propriate to those deeds, there is some hope
that Congress will be chained into doing
Louisiana the Justice she Graves.
| Until this revelation is made, this pun
ishment administered, Congress will gladly
do nothing, and Louisiana will 60 on from
bad to worse. She cannot go much further
before the end is reached. May she not
stop now, and, by securing liberty, obtain
with it chance for genuine reconstruction
and future prosperityi The fate Of the
great State is, to certain extent, bound uI
in the fate of this unjust Judge; therefore
in the name of truth, honor and decency
let Durell be brought to the bar as speedily
| as possible.

Hope Of Relief.

The committee Of examiners appointed by
Mr.. Kellogg, to report upon the nature Of
the State debt, (Messrs. Moses Greenwood,
Robert Watson, B. F. Joubert, B. F. Fian-
ders, II. Peralta, John r. Clay, Lonis Schnei-
der and John A. Stevenson,) in concluding
their very able report make several very
good suggestions, the second of which reads
0That the decision of the courts be obtained
Is soon as possible as to the legality of all
bonds and other obligations whose validity
is questionable" This question is now be-
fore the Supreme Court of the State, in the
brief of Messrs. Fellows and Mills, Attorneys
for the Peoples Association, contesting the
tax levies, which was argued and submitted
last week the city cases on Friday and the
State taxes on Saturday. So unanswerable
is the defense, so entirely is the law
and constitution on the side Of the People
against these unjust and oppressive exac-
tions, that the State Assistant Attorney
General, II. c. Dibble, could not make an
argument in favor of the State (perhaps be-
cause he will be soon called upon to defend
the State funding bill, which is identical
with the defense of the Peoples Association,
with the exception that the State does not
lop off the levee company swindle,) but puts
in plea to this effect: that, admitting the
defense Of the people to be correct, and that
the items of taxes, asserted by them to be
Illegal and unconstitutional, are SO, still.
as SO many have paid these taxes already,
it would be an injustice to those who have
paid, if the court wers to sustain the argu-
ment Of the defendants. In other words,
two wrongs will make right. Let us hope
that the Supreme Court will sustain the
they will do. Therein is the relief of this
People.

OUR TRADE WITH CUBA.

The Consul General of the United States
at Havana notifts our State Department
that the Intendente-G General of Cuba has or
dered that on and after April LIST, 25 per
cent. of import and export duties shall be
collected in gold on the LIST Of May, so per
cent. is thus to be collected on the 1st of
August, IS per cent, and on and after the
LIST of November 100 per cent. in gold. This
information must be considered Of great i'm
portance to the people of this country. The
Philadelphia Inquirer says we are much in
terested in the commerce of Cuba. We ex-
port largely to that island, and our imports
of Cuban products are also large.
In regard to the dnty on imports it might
be carelessly said that the matter was of no
Importance, because those duties are paid
by Cubans, and the only result is to make
American goods dearer to them. But even
in that case our manufacturers must suffer,
because increased prices in Cuba will dimin-
ish the demand ard thereby lessen the
volume of our exports to that island. The
increase of the exports duties of articles
sent from Cuba must be to us matter of
concern. It increases the prices of such ar
ticles in this country. Genuine Havana
cigars will raise in price, and even imitation
Havanas will be dearer. On the other hand,
this may prove to be of great advantage to
our home tobacco trade.
The sugar trade isnot likely to be affected
by any competition which we can originate
in this country. In cotton we fear no COM
petition. Fruits, as a general thing, we can
not compete with, but we must remember
that the war in which Cuba is engaged has
very materially reduced the volume of the
commerce Of that country, and the effects
will be. therefore, less important than they
would have been had peace prevailed. The
secret of this movement is that the war
has drained the resources of Cuba to such
an extent that it can no longer maintain a
specie currency, the paper currency being
deprecated, and likely to descend still
further in the scale in comparison with the
value of gold. A premium upon gold has
already been established, and the result Of
the measure now determined upon must be
to increase the disparity between gold and
currency to degree approaching the differ
ence which we experienced in this country
at the time when we were issuing immense
amounts of paper money, and everything
looked gloomy.

PAP TO THE PAPERS.
wINsLow's PRINTING SYRUP.

The most careless observer of the print
ing laws could hardly fail to appreciate the
enormous sums of money expended by the
State for the smallest possible returns. For
the past eight years not small proportion
OF .ur State taxes have passed into the
hands of those who have rendered hardly a
1.-THE OF service for the amount received. 1t
has been no secret that those in power have
been dealing out, in the heaviest doses,
2 Winslow's soothing syrup, and rendering
TO the hungry mouths that pap SO neces-
sary to the existence of rural newspaper
with no sparing hand.
The many exposures Of the action of the
present government in relation to the ex-
penditure Of State money for the sole bene-
tit OF few impecunious favorites, have
been, we are sorry to say, too seldom alluded
to by the press of this city. The time has
come when such miserable trckery was ex-
posed, and we will endeavor with all the
means in our power to do it.
Theprinting given to those journals which
have the good fortune to be within the
golden circle consists of thres classes.
l. The publication of the laws as promul-
gated.
2. The printing of the Journals of the
General Assembly.
3. The judicial printing in the parishes.
A careful examination of the cost to the
State for the first class, shows that fifty
newspapers (') receive about seventeen hun
dred dollars each for such labor. The print
ing Of the laws, therefore, costs taxpayers
what the benevolent and open handed de
facto Governor considers mere bagatelle
only some $4,000. That our people should
not be thoroughly conversant with our ju
risprudence would seem strange after such
an expenditure made in their behalf, but
the truth is, few, if any, Of our citizens ever
see these would-be promulgators of our laws
They serve only to draw from the Treasury
the money for the printing done, but moth
ing ore.
The second class, which comprises tine
Assembly, is without doubt the most shame.
less fraud upon the people of State. The
absolute lack of any necessity for printing
the daily transactions of both houses in
public journals is most apparent to every
citizen. This little job turns in only $11, )
900 each; the Homer Ilad, Monroe Intelli
ligencer, Coushatta Times and G. L. Smiths
paper at Shreveport coming in for their
share of the spolls.
The judicial printing, which is the third
class, is meeted out to good Republican lit
tie papers, who have kept up to the mark
all the year round, and obeyed instructions
That this printing pap, so generously served
out, bears with it burden to the honest
taxpayers is evident from these, our hurried
notes. The burden we bear to enrich a few
strollipg players in type, is heavy, and We
eagerly long for the day OF deliverance.
