N0blesse Oblixe.

1t is seldom that Cove rnor Kellogg re-.
plies to any charge made against him. He
is patient man, willing to endure until, in
the fullness OF time, the slander has either
found its own grave, or refutatiOn comes
from the sOurces which should have first
brought forth the truth. Many an instance
OF cruel attack he has endured not merely
without complaint but even preventing his
friends from resenting it.
One of the most outrageous assaults and
having the least foundation in truth was
the denunciation of Governor Kellogg for
his act Of charity toward the sufferers in
CaddO. Every base motive was imputed to
him, although his money was taken. No
attention was paid by him to the brutal
assailants, and then a new scheme was
tried to endeavor to make him break his
selfimposed silence. 1t was denied that he
had exercised the charity he had been de-
nounced for Offering
But the city of Shreveport has not been
SO unjust. Three times have the Board of
Trade and the City Council publicly tender

them engrossed on vellum. In addition to
these testimonials, redeeming the city from
the charge of ingratitude, now comes it's
mayor with new evidence of there being
"a just man" in the settles of the plains "

ton of Mayor Walsh contained in his letter
appended below has not been accepted, but
he will be regarded az the legal mayor OF

Of your many efforts, both as Senator Of the

The New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
Railroad.

The long continued controversies between
the many creditors, constructors and sup
pliers of materials and others, with the
Calcasieu, generally known as the Western
or Texas division, of the New Orleans,
Mobile and Texas railroad, have come to
an end. This result has been accomplished
by compromise and by great sacrifices on
the part of the plaintiffs. As long as they
were united and continued their determined
warfare there was an irremovable cloud on
the title of the road. Just so long as they
persisted the building Of the road was on
impossibility. Bat on the other hand, their
claims, which they had every reason to
consider as cash when the contracts were
originally made, would remain unsettled
until the road was once more started
toward completion.
These conflicting considerations have at
last produced q result which might have
been expected from conference between
public spirited men. Messrs. Boynton
Brothers and Bushnell, S. Is. Cole & Co.
l.. j. Dodge and I. L. Carter have agreed
10 dUduuOu huu CouscNt W u O1SmlSS0l OF
their suits against this road. For their claims
they are to receive certain interest in the
bonds of the road nearly commemorate
with an equivalent in stock.
The consideration which induces them to
consent to this compromise is the guarantee
of those who have been put in possession of
the road that they will either complete the
road or sell it to responsible parties who
will do SO. The sacrif ces that these plain.
titfs make. are great, but they are made
willingly, in the hope that the road on which
they have expended labor, time and money
will become q success. The cloud on it's
title will be removed, and the interests of
the community and of commerce be ad-
vanced, and the prosperity Of New Orleans
be incre ased. It these advantages flow
from it they. although perhaps after even a
longer delay than the law would enforce,
will be benefited.
Only one creditor Of the road will thus
remain unsa tistied. That is the State of
Louisiana, and her position not being
affected by this arrangement, she will be in u
position, without compromising her interests
and her rights, to aid the work. No one
can doubt that she will do so.

Our Criminal System.

The PienyMne published some i'll -arrar ged
and half-digested statistics on Friday morn.

There is not an item OF value or correct
60 Inclusion in the whole article. Those fig
ures which are accurate, by accident prob
ably, are Of data which change day by day.
1t does not make logical or even lucid COM
parisons relative to them. A portion are of

thousands under or over estimated. Its
estimate Of the cost Of q conviction IL eyi

yunish alters it and gets $l0O out of the
way. There is no necessity for giving
specific items, for the article was not writ.
ten to give information, but only TO attack
come officers and bolster up others.
After giving certain items, with tho
saving clause oi "nearly as follows youch.
ing for their inaccuracy. the object Of tho
article is disc losed. On the only correct
conclusion offe red, that the evil is in the
system Of fees, instead Of salaries, the off.
Ger deriving the greatest profit, the sheriff
is condoled with because he must receive it
in deprecated paper. Then tho greater
portion of the article is devoted to showing
how much the Parish Prison is like hotel.
The point is made that the prisoners have
got to be fed, and if city securities go down.
the she riff can not make 80 much money
Ergo, although be costs the city as much as
any two other officers, he is to be sympa-
thized with for being compelled to hold
such a position, and the rest blamed be-
carse the law gives them fees instead of
salary. The death Of ''poor Garrison" is
quoted to help out this conclusion.
This is absurd. If the system is wrong
all the officers working under it are equally
affected and stand on the same footing. If
one officer is to receive coincidence because
he can only get twenty-five cents for q
dollar certificate, the rest should have the
same. II the sheriff can not feed his pris-
oners with nearly four times as much as
they, perhaps their own families are incon-
venienced by the loss Of seventy eight per
cent of their salaries.
The conclusions of the article are as incor-
also to charge any Of these officials with
being not public servants, but jobbers and
They have been elected to
office under the terms Of the law. No
charge is made against them for unfaith
fulness. Ii they have done their duty those
who elected them have no legitimate com.
plant against them. Even if everything
the Peayune says be true. it has no cause
of complaint. for the injuries caused by the |
system. the discount on city paper. the poor
support of prisoners, are chargeable. not
on the officers, but the Democratic admin. !
istration that leaves the credit OF the city |
to one third Of its value when |
it took hold Of it.
