tome Dubuclet, Treasurer.-The amended
and supplemental petition of the State of
Louisiana, through A. p. Field, Attorney
General, respectfully represents:
That since the filing of the original petit
ton herein, he has discovered that various
items and clauses in the act No. SO, entitled
IAN act making appropriations for the gen
eral expenses of the State for the year end
ing thirty first day of December, 1874" and
particularly the second section of the act
aforesaid, is invalid, and all the appropria-
tons enumerated in the said second section

Ysur petitioner alleges that according to
the title of the act no appropriation could
be legally made, except Tor the expenses Of
the government incurred in the year 1874,
as in said title designated. The said Sec
ond section seeks to appropriate money out
prior to 1874. and running back as far as
1865.
That the third section of said act seeks
to make warrants directed to be issued
under said section two, and drawn for
debts due prior to the passage of said act,
receivable in payment in full of all taxes,
licenses, ETC., due the State prior to 1874,
which is in violation of the provisions of
the funding bill, and to certain extent
making them a circulating medium in the
community, in violation OF the constitution
of the United States, prohibiting a State
from issuing bills of credit.
Petitioners further represent that, adopt
ing all the allegations and charges in the
original petition, set forth in relation to the
items therein contained, and applying them
to each and every item contained in said
second section, petitioner pIays that this
amended and supplemental petition be
filed land that Charles Clinton, Auditor,
be enjoined, restrained and prohibited from
auditing any claim, or issuing any warrants
or certificates Of Indebtedness, under any
appropriation claimed to be made in said
second section in said act No. So; and that
Antoine Dubuclet, State Treasurer, be en-
joined and restrained from paying; or re-
ceiving into the treasury, any warrants or
certificates of Indebtedness issued under
any appropriation claimed to be made in
section two of act No. SO.
Your petitioner further prays, after due
legal proceedings had, that the injunction
herein prayed for be made perpetual, and
that the second and third sections of said
appropriation bill, No SO, be declared I'M
constitutional, null and void; and further,
petitioner prays for all general and equita-
BILE relief in the premises.
