EMPTY TALK ABOUT THE FLAG.
Memorandum OF interview between Mr.. Fish

reads No. lis. Mr.. Fish replies that the United
States, in the interest OF all maritime Powers, in
GLIDING Spain, deny the right of capture Of docu.
mented vessels on the high seas IN time Of peace
the right to inquire INTO the validity OF papers is in
the Power issuing them, which the United States
are prepared to do. The United States will con-
slider the subject of reclamations when the honor
OF the nag Is atoned for. The identity OF the Wiz
ginius is unQuestloned. Any irregularty in her
papers. therefore, is merely technical.
Memorandum of interview between Mr.. Fish and
Admiral Polo, November 27:-Mr Fish reads de-
spatch from General Sckles. Says the United States
cannot accept this proposal. This communication
is made to Admiral Polo because 1t Is supposed
General Sickes has left Maurid. The proposition
is, virtually, that Spain should hold the vesse
while seeking proof to justify her capture. Admiral
Polo asks whether, II the vessel be given
up, inquiries would be instituted by the
United States with o view to the punish
ment Of any who might be found to have
violated the law Of the United States reserving
the question OF salute for iurther information. Mr..
Fish consults the President and accepts the propo.
sal, II the vessel and the SURVIVORS are delivered
forthwith; the salute wilsbq dispensed with II
Spain. before December Is satisnes the United
States that the virginius had no right to
carry the nag. In that case proceedings will

talked OF men was on hand, and Messrs. Cisneros>
Adama, Nest 'fund other noted gentlemen Of pa

well as the HERALD man, with their usual polite
ness. The released prisoners had been called to-

amusing satisfaction to see how kindly the

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. s. 1874.
The Legislature me. at Mechanics Institute to-
day and the proceedings we're orderly.
1t is understood that Mr.. Lowell, the present
Speaker, holds over under pledge to resign in 10
days II the House wishes It,
Governor KellogR's Message was very long, It's
main points were as foliows:-The total debt Of the
State was $24, 1886. Some Of this was of doubt
full legality and was being tested in the Courts.
The state had tried to pay interest on this whole
amount and had done 30 up to date but could do
so no longer, without maintaining rate OF taxa.
ton which was almost confscation. He proposes
the
FUNDING OF THE WHOLE DEBT
at 90 cents on the dollar in new seven per cent
consols, guaranteed by constitutional amendment
and appropriation for interest made perpetual;
the dent to be limited at the point to which 1t would
be reduced by this consolidation, say $4,000, 0OO
He argues that these consois would be worth par,
while at present the bonds are only worth on the
market SO cents the dollar, and states that the
consolidation scheme has been submitted 10 and
approved by the New Orleans Chamber OF Commerce
and the large b0ndnOlders. He regrets that large
appropriations made for railroads had resulted in
FAILURES TO BUILD ROADS
to Texas. The 900 bonds issued to the Mobile
and Texas Railroad by the act OF 1871 without con-
siderati0n would probably not be paid. Any one
who would come forward and give solid guarantees
to build the road should nave every assistance
from the State. Failing all other plans he recon-
mended that the State buy the road under the
second mortgage bonds and build 1t itself.
The Message recommends the revision or repeal
Of a large number Of laws and says that If the
members forming the opposing body do not come
In and take the seats which have been kept open
for them they must take all the responsibility OF
the result OF their conduct.
