The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-11-28
A FEW COUNTS.

The Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court Of
Louisiana, John F. Ludeling, has been stig-
matized by the Supreme Court Of the United
States as defaulter and swindler, in that he
betrayed fduciary trusts and "colluded" to
defraud the just creditors of the Vicksburg and
Shreveport Railroad.
We desire to have it known of all the world
that this man Ludeling is utterly repudiated
by the decent and honest people OF Louisiana,
that be was appointed by Radical carpet-bag
Governor and approved by mixed negro and
carpet-bag Senate. The bill in chancery in the
case Of Jackson and others was filed in court
twenty months before the act Of the Legisla-
ture incorporating the North Louisiana Rail-
road was passed, and this man Ludeling,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was one.
Of the incorporators.
Warmoth and Kellogg together have issued
to the railroad company in question bonds
amounting to $1,30O,O0O, and those bonds
went into the hands of Ludeling and others,
who are stigmatized as defrauders by the U.
s. Supreme Court. The bonds so issued and
SO held were among the first funded by those
very honest officials, Kellogg, Clinton, An
tome, ETC., and it is to be presumed that the
new bonds issued therefor have been sold and
the proceeds of some of them deposited in
the pockets of John T. Ludeling, Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court.

The attention Of our readers, and especially
the attention Of the Returning Board, is d.
rected to the article in another column on the
situation at Loui ,iana. The feeling of the
Northern people in regard to Louisiana, and
particularly in regard to the Radical schemes
for defrauding us out Of the hard won victory
achieved at the polls, may be easily inferred
from careful perusal of the 71iJune's able
and admirable article.

QUERYs

Why is it the returns from Bienville parish
which have been canvassed are not being COM
piled! 1t is customary to compile returns as
soon as canvassed, even where protests are
made. Probably it is on account Of no Re-
publican votes having been cast in said parish.

Since the German Empire superseded that
Of France as the arbiter of Europe, the Gov
eminent at Berlin has entered upon the work
OF building a. powerful navy, and has been
casting about tor foothold at various points
here and there, in both hemispheres, for a
colonial establishment or a naval station.
The latest reported movement in this direction
is in the treaty declared to be under considera-
ton. whereby the seaport of Morocco is to be
coded to Germany. If such convention is
under way, the underlying idea is doubtless
German base Of operations in Northern
Africa, against Algeria, in the event of another
war with France.

In these days Of rigid examination into the
financial condition of the country, an article
on State debts, defaults and resources, which
appeared in late number Of the financial
Chronicle, gives welcome and valuable aid.
It gives the aggregate of all State debts as
S3o2, 97O,5 17, of which it is estimated that
s92, 1924, 600 is held abroad, and that s164,-
732, 900 is in default, of which about S54, ia
600 is held abroad. The rate of interest varies
from to 10 per cent, but nearly all the larger
amounts are at per cent, or over, SO that at
least 500, 100000 yearly is now due by the
States in interest, of which about $40, 600, 600
is in default. Virginia, with a debt of S46,-
O0O, goo, is in default on the whole, and SO is
Alabama, with s2l,O0O,OOO; Arkansas, with
S12 $780, 900; Florida, with s3,774,0OO, its
entire debt being $685., 600; Georgia, with
S11, 100000, out of its total of So OOO, 900;
Louisiana, with $24, GEO., 900, out of total
debt Of $40, OOO0 600; Mississippi, with s7,OOO,-
900, out of S9,00O,O0O; North Carolina, with
its entire debt of s24,9OO,0OO, and South
Carolina, with S13, 2OO, 900, out of total debt
of S15, 700, 600. Tennessee, with debt of
S27, 600, 900, is not in default The Chronicle
speaks sharply of the failure or refusal OF Ia
diana, Minnesota, Mississippi and Missouri to
meet their obligations, referring particularly
to the non-payment of gold interest by the
last named State. The article also gives the
valuation of property in twenty-six
States, with the rate of taxation by each State,
which ranges all the way from 10 cents on the
500 in Connecticut to 50 Is in Louisiana.

Col Eugene Waggaman, Civil Sheriff Of

Thursday. Among the old employees we
learn he has retained Messrs. Walsh, Swain

Wurzberger and Barnes, Col Waggaman can
well boast of staff of gentlemen, intelligent,
honest and worthy, who will make the sherift's

Notwithstanding the result of the late
elections, there ar. two gentlemen in the Uni
ted States who still believe in third term.
One is U. S. Grant and the other is Alexander
H. Stephens. The eminent Georgia para
graphist called at the White House the other
day and enjoyed pleasant conference with
the Man of Destiny. 1t is understood that
they heartily concurred in the belief that a
third term would be of great service to the
distra cted country.

elections, if it is possible to accomplish tina
most desirable end, for they are executing
the new Controverted Election act with re
freshing impartiality. Thus far, we believe
more Reformers have heen unseated for bri-
berry and corrupt practices than Conservatives
but the last victim to the rigid enforcement OF
the law is no less parsonage than Sir John
A. Mcdonald himself, late Premier, and fol
many years the leader of the Conservative
party. Sir John ran for member in Kingston,
q city which he has represented for thirty years,
and was declared elected. but his election was
contested on the ground Of bribery.
It was not even charged, we believe that
he brlbed any individual; but he paid into
the hands of an election agent about nine
hundred dollars to be used in promoting his
interests, without giving him any definite in
structions as to its disposition. Contributions
from some Of his friends raised the election
fund to about $4,000. which was discussed un-

mlttees. Sir John testified, were generally held
in public houses, and he gave the reason for
this: Everybody drinks and treats one an
other, he said, "and then every tavern keeper
is little power in bis own locality. 1t is very
good to get the publican interest"

brought against him; but the Court evidently
thought that too much of this treating was
done at Sir Johns expense, for on Saturday
decision was rendered declaring the election
void, though the Judge said personal bribery
was not proven. This leaves him still eligible
for election, but he is condemned to pay all
the costs of the trial. The most curious part
of the business is that the law by which Sir
John has been unseated was measure of his
own, passed when he was in power, expressly,
as his friends proclaimed, to put down all
illegitmate expenditures by candidates for
public Office.

If she can hold his heart! Possibly, with |
his Scotch thrift and his habits OF industry, |
be may prove too STRONG to be spoiled by his |
Iostuns; but the chances are fightfally against
