myself, had to leave without procuring any.
had talk with one of the distributing
committee he told me that rations had
been issued for several days, but that he
would consult the committee and see
what could be done. 1t is my
opinion, from what l heard, that the
office seekers were making political thing
out of the ration business, as they do not
want the regroes to leave the parish until
after the election. Yours truly, S***
In view of such representations, it be-
hooves the committee here to see to it that
the munificent donations of a generous and
sympathizing public be not abused and
made the means of securing base and igno-
BILE objects. There are some men SO low and
degraded that they would speculate upon
the calamities Of the people, and try to reap
from misfortune some personal advantage
Against all such we caution the dispensers
of public charities, and at the same time we
promise these impostors and heartless
wretches that exposure and denunciation
which their infamy deserves.

How INJUNCTIoNs CAN BE Removable
will be remembered that some months aco
an injunction was obtained by one j. l..
Thompson, restraining the Auditor from pay
ing the interest on the free school bonds.
Subsequently the holders of these securities
were informed by party who seemed to
have peculiar influence with the powers
shat be-" that for the sum of fifty dollars
Hom each bond-holder the injunction could
be withdrawn. The required amount having
been obtained, the injunction was removed
the day after, and the interest was then
promptly paid
On the maturity of the next coupon.
another emissary of the Auditor approached
the bond-holders and offered, for the sum of
twenty per cent, to secure the payment of
the interest without delay. This amount
being paid, the bond holders received their
interest.
This is one out of many instances where
she Christian and honest Auditor of the
State makes his Office pay. We are not sur
prised, therefore, that such an officer should
be expelled from the Young Mems Christian
association, as unworthy place on its roll
sfmembers.

that "this honorable Court has not con
sidered nor passed upon the application o
appellee to have the appeal dismissed"
A comparison Of the decisions IN these
two cases brings into shocking juxtaposi
ton this state of affairs:
| In the case of Magloire, Radical, the
Supreme Court order dismissal Of an appeal
because the record is incomplete.
| In the case Of Knoblock and o. hers, Dem
| Oc.-ats, the same court refuse to dismiss an
appeal though the record is more Incomplete
Can more fagrant anthony and more
exorbitant partisanship be imagined and
when summed up does it not all signify ju-
dicial legislation and prescription, in virtue
of which Radical has an indefeasble
right to appeal which a Democrat can exer-
rage or injustice We say it means that or it
means that our Jurisprudence is the foot
ball of reckless, ignorant and incapable
judges.
1t is rumored in the profession that the
official reporters of the Supreme Court are
under instructions not to couple with the
published opinion Of the Court, in such
cases as those under review, the briefs of the
defeated counsel. If this charge be true, it
is an eminently judicious precaution, for
otherwise many a huge lie, hidden beneath
the reticenses of judicial statement, would
find itself branded to Immortality by plain
81 from,
attorneys, who, though defeated in the
forum, would stand forever crowned with
victory on the field Of reason, under the
light of conscience, in the eyes of an honor
able profession.
1t is hardly necessary to state, from the
decision complained of, Judge WHY stood
proudly alone in his dissent.

We have no words to express our admira
ton for and gratitude to Boston. Her spon'
tancous sympathy for the suffering people
of Louisiana and her bountiful snbscrlp-
tions for their relief, have profoundly touched
the hearts of all the citizens of our unfoi
tunate State.
Henceforth Boston will be with them an
honOred name, and to be BOstonan will
be passport into every mans affection who
calls Louisiana home If we have ever had
an unkind thought, or written an unkind
word of the noble city which has led the
van in the work of sending succor to our
people we ask pardon for the one, and here
with utterly expunge the other Louisiana
grasps with Southern fervor the hand
which has been extended in friendship and
mercy, and henceforth will account as her
own worst enemy he who raises voice or
pen against the capital of the old Bay
State.

DISTRIBUTION OF SUPPLIES.

We have OH several occasions called the
attention of the committee on distribution
Of supplies among The people of the over
flowed districts to the great Importance of
exercising care and caution in the selection
of proper local agents. We have also men
toned the fact that large numbers of
negroes were leaving their homes in the
high lands, where they had employment on
plantations, and were flocking to the over
flowed districts, in order to participate in
the distribution of provisions and clothing
that We're being sent from this city.
As an evidence of this fact, we publish
the following extract from a letter written
by a very respectable and responsible
planter:
STEAMER B. L. HODGE. !
April 9th, 1874 (
Dear S6'-My efforts to secure hands have
been fruitless, all owing TO the issuing of
rations to them by tie committee appointed
to only issue to the destitute. They (the
negroes) told me, as long as they could get
rations that they did not intend to work for
any one. They all labored under the i'm

THE CITY FINANCES.

provision of law makes it the duty Of
the State Auditor and Treasurer to publish
at stated periods, the financial condition OF
the State. This information is very useful
and affords dealers in State securities an
opportunity to form correct estimate OF
the financial situation. This is wise and
just law, and we desire to see the same rule
applied to the finances of the city.
Especially is it desirable and proper to ex-
act such an exhibit from the Administrators
OF the finances of the city, when it is borne
in mind that bank president, who is more
or less connected with brokers is at the head
of the Finance Bureau. His official position
enables him to obtain information beyond
the reach of the public, and if lie chooses
this information can be utilized for the ben
eft of his particular broker friends, who be-
ing thus posted can engage in profitable
speculations.
To avoid this, then, let a full and de
tailed statement of the city's finances be
published each month, showing the receipts
and disbursements, the credits to each fund,
the amount of interest paid on the different
bonds, the cash on hand. and in fine every
point of information, SO that every dealer in
city paper can see at glance the condition
Of the financial affairs of the city.
Such statement will give satisfaction to
the public, and convince them that their
are not disposed to conceal
from them the true condition Of affairs.

THE OVERFLOW, AND WHO IS RE.
SPONSIBLE.

The reports that come to us from all see
lions of overlooked Louisiana are heart
rending indeed, and it is quite impossible
for even the imagination to picture the
scenes of distress and anguish that are being
enacted among those over whose homes the
turbd waters have rushed. 1t is not alone
the planters and their families and laborers
owned little places of three and four acres
upon which they earned sufficiency fol
their families. These people are perhaps
most to be pitied, aud are most deserving of
succor. In all that rich and beautiful
country which has been inundated by the
water rushing through the crevasses at Nor
ganza and Hickey, there are innumerable
small farms, upon which the people will
lose everything they possess except the
land, and may consider themselves fortunate
if they escape with their lives.
In this connection we will state that we
were called upon yesterday by large sugar
planter, and informed of some facts that re
fleet seriously upon the Levee Company.
Morganza or just above Grand Levee might
have been stopped, had the Levee Company
promptly responded when called upon for
provisions and supplies. Their neglect to
furnish the necessary supplies rendered it
impossible for the planters around to secure
the labor to close the break which was
small at first, and could easily have been
closed.
He was naturally very indignant with the
Levee Company, and claimed hat but for
the positive assurance of safety which he
received from the officers of the company,
he could and would have protected himself
by building a levee around his own place
but that, lulled into sense of security, he
lad suspended work on levee which he
had commenced and nearly completed, only
to find his plantation, like all his neigh bors',
under water He asserts his belief that the |
Levee Company, despite the legislation
which it procured, releasing it from rcspon-
sibility, is nevertheless responsible in dam
ages, and announces his intention to test i
the matter before the courts.
He says that the custom of the planters is |
% make their contracts in January of each |
year, to buy mules and make arrangements
or planting, and that, last January, they,
elying implicitly upon the contract which
he Lcvee Company had entered into with
he State, made their arrangements ac-
ordingiy; that, had they not believed the
contract had been made in good faith and
would be executed, they would either not
ave planted at all or would have taken
teps to have protected themselves.
1t was after these contracts were all made
nd the planting had gone on that the
.evee Company went into the Legislature
nd succeeded in procuring the passage of
n act relieving it of responsibility for dam ]
ges that might accrue by reason of over l
ow, etc.
1t would seem that the argument OF our
lformant, is strong one and that as the
evee Company has failed in its obligations
!, the State and caused immense damage
Y its neglect of the levees, the individuals :
amaged have good claim for the amount
{ their loss

VALUE OF PROPERTY IN LOUISIANA

In the st. Charles Echo we find the fol-
lowing advertisement, which we commend
to the attention of the Kellogg officials:
The DR.. Brashear place, on the Calcasieu
River, just below Marion (Old TOWN., with
al the buildings and improvements, and
100 acres of land. Terms, $3.50. One third
cash, and balance in one year, with ap-
proved personal security. Apply to
GEO. IL. WELLS, Agent,
| Lake Charles, La.
Here is fair sample of how property is
valued in this State, under the government
of Kellogg which Senators Morton and Sher-
man pretend to say is so beneficent in it's
character and so satisfactory to the people
Property once worth thousands of dollars
is now offered for hundreds and in MANY
instances we know of estates being offered
for simply the taxes due upon them. And
yet we are told that the people of Louisiana
are happy and prosperous.
Property confiscated and starvation
staring the people in the face are facts not
calculated to secure respect or confidence in
government that sanctions such outrages,
and we believe the day is not far distant
when the people, in their desperation and
fury, will turn upon the theving usurpers
and make this State a dangerous and I'M
comfortable residence. Let them beware.
Mr.. Disraeli has given notice that persons
taking Office under him must cease from
what he calls guinea pigging." To guinea
pig we are told is to receive a directOrship
in joint stock company with an object of
helping to form the company by adding an
influential name to the prospectus. Such
practices have been known in London for
some time and are altogether too frequent.
Gen. Schenck, whose Emma Mine notori-
ETY. has not yet passed out of mind, will
please take notice.
