Is IT TRUE.
to this State

We are informed that some of the White
League clubs in this city organize with TIVE
constitutions, one OF which is published and
unobjectionable, so far as any improper pur
pose is concerned which is openly signed and
promulgated, and another of quite ditferen
character, which is signed by as many as cal
be induced to sign it, and kept secret. Is thi>
true, and if true, what is the object-Aeu
Orleans Times.
This malicious innuendo we have passed
over in silence until now, but having herd ii
alluded to frequently, we feel called upon to
say there is not particle OF truth in it.
It would certainly have been much NOR.
in accordance with the proclaimed determine
ton of the Times to be fair and impartial had
it made inquiries Of prominent members o.
the Leagues. who have, ii ne and again,
publicly and privately proclaimed that the
Leagues were not secret organizations Will
the Times have the fairness now to correct, ar
far as may be in its power, the injury it has
done? We shall see.

a State hung trembling in the balance. 1t
was confidently expected that King White
would disband his men. The Brooks faction
would have been recognized: it would have
been said Of the people of Arkansas, as it
has been said Of the people Of Louisiana, that
they "acquiesced," but to the amazement and
surprise Of every one, the response Of Gen.
White to this demand was shot from his
revolver aimed at Col. Rose, the representative
of the Federal Government and the mis-
representative of the thousands of glimmer-
ing bayunets behind it, of whom it might
truly be said, thousands for liberty, not one
for tyranny. Did the Federal troops advance
and attempt to disperse Baxters men? No;
when the infamous ssLandaulet" Williams saw
that the people of Arkansas could not be
bullied. he ceased his fruitless endeavors and
Baxter was re ognized Governor Of Arkansas.
Now, let Louisiana initiate the action OF
New York and Arkansas, and she will com
mand the respect OF her sister States. Let
the Radical politicians see that their "bayo-
net game is exploded, thai our people dare
do all that is just to assert their rights and
defend their liberties, and then, and not till
then will Louisiana occupy the proud position
of a sovereign and equal State.

AN EXPLANATION AND A PROMISE.

The analysis Of the Registration law, and
the exposure Of its outrageous provisions,
made by the BULLETIN, have brought Kellogg
to the front as an apologist for the infamous
law. So glaring is its unfairness, that even
he is compelled to acknowledge it, and to nit
igate its enormities the following promise is
| volunteered:
So far as am concerned, am determined.
by all means in my power. to afford every IA
cility possible to every citizen to secure by
registration the right to vote.
VIM p KELLOGG.
If now, the de facto is sincere and honest in
his profession and really proposes to give the
people fair registration and election, he can
easily demonstrate the fact and qniet the fears
of the community by alternating his appoint
ment of superv sors and assistant supervisors
with Republicans and Democrats. In this way
our people will have some show, and it will be
the most effective way Of preventing fraudu-
lent registration.
Mr.. Kellogg will remember, that when he
was United States Senator, ne caused the pas
sage of the law known as the Enforcement
Act. 1t specially provided for the appoint
ment Of United States Supervisors to be Sc
lected, one from each party. This was done
to checkmate Warmoth and prevent him ma
nipulating the registration to the detriment OF
the Custom House wing Of the Republican
party. If that provision was wise one and
operated successfully we all know it did
then, there Can be no objection to the applica-
ton Of this plan to the registration which is
about to commence.
We would suggest that the State and Parish
Committees appoint joint committee to act
in concert with committee of citizens, to be
named by the Committee of Seventy, to wait
upon the de tacto and demand of him the ap-
pointment Of an equal number Of Democrats
as supervisors. This request cannot be re-
fused by Kellogg, if he is inclined to fulfill the
promise he has made. If he refuse, or evade
the proposition, it will be proof positive that
he contemplates fraud and foul play. In that
event our people will have timely notice to
provide for thwarting him in his nefarious
scheme to deprive the whites Of the privilege
Of voting They can take such steps as will
not only protect them in their rights, but will
the usurper that he cannot trihe
with this people any longer. Let something
be done forthwith.

TIE APPROPRIATION BILL NO. SO.

| There are two items in this bill contrary to
article 1O4 Of the Constitution, which says
"No money shall be drawn from the treasury
but in pursuance Of specific appropriations >
The exact sum, in dollars and cents, must be
expressed in every appropriation Of money to
| be paid out of the treasury. If the amount
is not stated, the appropriation of an indeti-
mite sum is a nullity. No estimate could be
| made Of the amount Of funds to be raised,
unless specific sums are appropriated. The
rate of taxation is based upon thu budget OF
receipts and expenditures. The two uncon-
sttudonal appropriations are these: On page
| 1O5 is this, "for all printing and advertising
authorized by law previous to the first day OF
| January, 1874, the necessary amount is hereby
appropriated What is the necessary amount?
Who is to ascertain the amount? The Auditor
can alone, upon the legal advice OF his i'm
ported adviser, fix the necessary amount
which may reach a sum sufficient, if divided
among the claimants, the Auditor and adviser
to enable them to play the roll OF gentlemen
Of leisure. The exercise Of such a power is
wisely prohibited by the Constitution. The
necessary amount must be specifically appro-
prated As none is specified, this item in
the appropriation bill is a nullity. Under
the government of the usurpers the necessary
amount may reach two or five hundred thou
sand dollars, or any sum deemed necessary to
keep them in Office.
The second item in bill 50 is on page 1906
We give number of the act and the pages.
appropriation to cover deficiencies now ex-
listing and due, remaining unpaid tor the
maintenance of the militia of the State during
the years 1873 and 1874, payable upon the
approved accounts of the Governor, according
to law, the necessary amount is hereby appro-
priated" No specific sum ic named, and no
one, except the usurper, can by possibility
know what will be the necessary sum. Indef-
mite sums, upon the approval of the Governor,
are appropriated. The Constitution cannot
be violated in this manner.
We ell the attention of the Attorney Gen
eral to these two indefinite appropriations. and
as he has SO far proved himself to be very
bull dog in guarding the people from the at
tempted plunderlngs Of the last infamous Leg
islature believing that he will, if he has not
already acted, apply to the courts to restrain
the Governor and Auditor from approving
accounts for which no specific appropriation
has been made, and which accounts NAV
reach hundreds Of thousands of dollars.

KELLOGG'S FARO BANK.

When a man becomes so much of a gambler
that he ventures to play exceedingly fine
points, in order to win " everything in sight,
he either breaks the bank or is suddenly
ruined. Kellogg has regarded Louisiana FOL
several years as faro bank, OF which h
possesses the secret, and hence he has gonS
on playing, cautiously at first, but becoming
holder with success, until he has come t.
think that like the wonderful gambler who
caused such dismay years ago at Baden-Badel
he cannot lose.
We have watched the career of this cunning
and audacious gamester with interest amaze
ment and disgust, and the people have beer
compelled to make good his frequent and
enormous winnings from the bank until they
realize that should success wait upon him
much longer, they will be utterly ruined and
the bank broken indeed
The stake for which Kellogg is playing is a
big one, and that he means to resort to
every practice known to the disreputabe
poll icians with whom he associates to achieve
success cannot for a moment be doubted. He
has an army OF paid retainers at his back, the
General Government has hitherto given him
Its powerful support, and he chuckles over the
idea that the white people are divided ana
will not be able to unite in time to meet his
black hosts in the fall.
He has signed a registration BILL the exist
ence OF which was unknown to men high Ill
trust in his own party, and which is quite lis
infamous as the Election law, which he led
about to West and to Congress- and which he
subsequently took great credit to himself fox
declaring he would not sign.
The duplicity and artfulness of the man is
clearly shown in the signature OF this regis
trAtion bill: he might very we'll promise no,
to sign an objec ionable law OF the existenc.
OF which everybody was aware, when he hae.
Il still more Objectionable act in his posses
session. about which the public were ignor
ant, and which he proposed to make law
soon as circumstances rendered it necessary
IN the desperate gam, he is playing.
1t is very possble that with all his CUNNING
he is playing his points too fine, and that til,
negroes, upon whose tailhtulness he relies.
and without whose support lie could not main
tain his position single day, will conclud,
that he is not to be trusted-that he is only
waiting, like Warmoth, for an opportunity t,
desert them-that man who never keeps /.
promise, who is full Of deceit, and working
with an eye single to his own Interests
is not exactly the man for them to tie to-
There are ominous mutterings in the Radica
camp, AMI when the storm which is brewin.
shall burst, it may be that W. Pitt kellogg
will wish he had never brought his carpet bas
to this State.

Faithful Picture.

The Cincinnati Commercial has correspor-
dent in Charleston, who sends it the follow ng
graphic description Of the South Carolina
ebony solons:
The Legislature is den of thieves. and ig-
norant, stupid, bigoted, black thieves at that.
Take the convicts in the Ohio Penitentiary,
organize them into body, call it the Legisla-
ture, and you have better body of men than
any Legislature South Carolina has had since
1868. And further, statistics will show that
the Ohio convicts are better educated than
the South Carolina law makers and better
qualified to perform the duties OF Office. More
of them can read, more of them can write
more of them know the difference between
Watts hymn and the Constitution of the
United Site If the most intelligent men
in the Penitentiary had been selected in 1868
as Legislators for South Carolina and continued
in Office until to-day, / have no hesitancy in
saying that the condition of affairs here would
now be better
The odoriferous body which sat here last
winter, with that pattern of virtue and official
integrity, C. w. Lowell, defaulting United
States Postmaster, as Speaker OF the House,
and the ex-negro barber Caesar Antoine as pre-
siding officer of the Senate, was the exact
counterpart of the South Carolina menagerie,
over which, in fact, they probably had this
advantage, that several of their most shining
lights had their pictures in the rogues' gallery,
and either have already served or will shortl,
be called upon to serve the State, for whom
they lately made laws, in the more appropriate
role of penitentiary convicts.

THE PARISH COMMITTEES ADDRESS.

| This document, it seems, does not please
the Picayune and Times. Neither does il
NEE with the appreciation Of the Republican OF
Kellogg. We are not aware that the members
OF the Parish Committee ever contemplated
ministering to the tastes or sentiments Of any
of the parties mentioned. Hence, their APP
proval or disapproval OF the address is alike a
matter of supreme Indifference All three
Of these Journals are in accord in their oppo-
sition to the Democratic party, and are
working together to divide the peo-
pie of the State and city in
order that the Republicans may succeed the
easier in electing their ticket and holding pos
direction are fully recognized by the public,
and we doubt not the time will come when
they will receive their reward.
Upon the assembling Of the Democratic
Parish Conve ton in this city, in which every
ward will be represented, the P.cay.ue, Ger
tainly. and possibly the Times, will claim
the right to advise and dictate the course
which that Democratic organization should
pursue. After the nominations are made,
too, we ven ure to predict that neither
of these journals will dare to oppose
the ticket put forward in opposition to the
Il .lical nominations. Their attempt. then, at
this time, to disrr5auize the people OF the
city and to alien .te them from the Demo-

accomplish no good, and only render them-
selves liable to the suspicion OF being in

THAT OUTRAGE.

| There has been much ado about the article
published in the BULLETIN relative to the
outrage perpetrated on young lady. Tn
facts we stated are true and will be substanti-
ated if we are called upon to do it. We have
no desire, for the young ladys sake, to push
this matt'r, but if we are called upon we have
testimony to verify what has been said.
The BULLETIN has no desire to mike sensa-
tional publications. but when negro insults
and outrag-s upon ladies multiply as they
have during the past two months we, unlike
the Times, will not keep them hidden. 1t is
but short time since two LADIES' were
assaulted by negroes and beaten on St.
Charles Avenue, following closely upon which
a negro insulted a young Lady in Coliseum
Square. We also learned of several others
which were not published, because we did not
desire to Lay ourselves open to the very charge
the Radical Times now makes
