a Subject of Inquiry.

We learn that some inquiry is being made
concerning the delay which occurred in the
the arrival of the troops which left Holly
Springs on the thirteenth of September and
did not reach this city until five O'Clock on
Monday, the day of the riot, and one hour
after the fight had taken place at the head
OF Canal street. 1t is claimed that these
troops should have arrived at twelve o'clock
in the day. and. being on a special train.
there was no excuse for their delay.
At the same time inquiry may probably
be made in regard to the arms surrepti.
tiously brought to the city by the Jackson
railroad. with which Archibald Mitchell's IS
White League braves were armed at Leeds
foundry.

STATE EXPENDITURES.
Governor Kellogg yesterday addressed
the following letter to the editor Of the
Pcayune:

Governor Kellogg yesterday addressed
the following letter to the editor Of the
Pcayume:
New ORLEANS. October J. 1874.
To the Editor of the New Orleans Picsyune
SIR-In your comments on my address
published yesterday you say: "After the
reduction (alluding to the reduction Of tax
alton for interest) there still remains of
taxes and burdens the same amount for the
EXPENSES Of the government which were ex.
acted before. That is. the people pay just
as much to conduct the government now as
they did under Warmoth. This did not re.
deem the pledge Kellogg has SO often made
to reduce the expenses OF the government"
penses of the State government last year,
before the reduction of taxation for interest
purposes to which you allude came into
effect, were &4ll 900 less than the expenses
of 1872, and $S03, 900 less than the expenses
of 1871. This year the expenses will show
still greater reelection.
1t is true the tax of four mills for general
purposes remains unchanged, but this tax
has heretofore never been sufficient to meet
the expenses of the State government. In
1869 the amount of warrants issued in ex.
cess Of the receipts from the four mill gene.
raj fund tax was $750,602 In 1870 it was
SSSS.3l4; ia 1871 it was 81, ,497 ,l62, and in
1872 $f,ll6,O4O. 1t is by this excess of
warrants over receipts that q large portion
of the floating debt Of the State has been
piled up. We are endeavoring to contiue
the expenses within the receipts from the
four mill tax, and have so far succeeded that
there remained only balance of els0,O00
excess of expenditure over receipts last
year, and this year it is believed the re-
ceipts will nearly or quite cover the ex.
penses. One of the constitutional amend
ments to be voted on in November renders
it impossible for any State government
hereafter to issue warrants in excess of its
receipts, and this cuts off one great source
of the present financial difficulties Of the
State.
The accusation have quoted and so an
swered is the only tangible. explicit charge
can find in your criticism. If you will
please. at your leisure. indicate some OF the
other errors of facts and figures which you
allege characterize my address, will either
acknowledge my mistake OF prove the cor
yectness of my statement
Very respectfully.

stolen Letters
William +. Chandler. attorney. .at-law, Of
Washington. writes as follows from his New
England home:
CONCORD. N. H.. September g, 1874.
TO the Editor Of the New York Times:
The kilograms Of yesterday from New
Orleans, based upon the iobberies by the
Louisiana reyolutiOnists of Governor Kel.
lOgg's private papers, do Eot misrepresent
me tha. am aware of; but they are in.
tended to do Injustice to other gentlemen.
Ex Governor Warmoth applied to the SUI
preme Court OK the United States IN Wash.
ington for writ of prohibition against
Judge Durell to stay proceedings in Gov
crnor Kellogg's suit against Warmoth.
This application if granted would have
brought the whole Louisiana case before
the Supreme Court for full and tina! ad-
Indication. Senator Carpenter. General
Cushing. and General Butler were there
fore retained as counsel for Governor
Kellogg. and the first two argued the case
before the Supreme Court. which refused
the writ. So tar from Senator Carpenter
o. General Butler being by this employ.
ment as counsel influenced as members Of
Congress in the political contest. both OF
them afterward became persistent and
conspicuous opponents of the policy OF the
Pres!den. with reference to the Kellogg
administration. and the advocates of AL
immediate new e!sction. General Butler
was also always understood TO be in favor
Of Judge Durel.'s impeachment.
The suggestion that Attorney General
Williams was interested and retained in
the kellogg interest is absolutely false.
His only connection with the question was
official and disinterested. The charge
agaiDs: him is characteristic of che men
who. in 1868. by bloodshed, prevented any
votes in Louisiana against Seymour and
Blair. attempted tho same policy of intimi.
dation and murder in 1872; and now being
defeated in bloody revolutlsn by the power
of the Union, spitefully revenge themselves
by publishing private letters stolen from
Governor Kellogg during their brief usur-
patton. WILLIAM z. CHANDLER.

The news-gatherer of the Associated Press

The news-gatherer of the Associated Press
at Washington, in stating las: evening that
the General Of the army was preparing to
move his headquarters TO St. Louis. took
occasion to speak insu!ringlv of General
Sherman and his staff. and to indulge in
language unfit TOR our columns. Those who
pay the bills are aware that press dispatches
are too expensive to wafran, the sending of
reporters opinions anc personal ,eflec-
tions, especially when the reporter is weak
man and untruthful. What newspapers
want j. simply facts. wi'h.ut bias. From
these we have been too long debarred, and
the entire press will be better served when
better man is employed to send news.

Brick thng Have Endured for Twenty
Centuriess

A correspondent Of the Cleveland Lea1er,
writing from Persia, says:
Coming from Bagdad, which. In direct
line. is forty.four miles distant, three i'm.
mense mounds appear in succession, which
have the appearance Of natural bills. But
close examination shows that they are COM.
posed Of bricks, and are the remains of
large hnldirgs. These are on the east side
Of the Euphrates. and the largest is about
$50 feet in height. They are supposed to be-
an ancient citadel that defended this part
Of the towE. the royal paiacs and a temple.
How immense must the original buildings
have been. when it ls considered that these
mounds have been the storehouses from
which for twenty centuries bricks Of the
finest description have been taken ~ build
the great cities Of Csesphon. Seiucia, and
Bagdad. Fragments Of aiabaster vessels
and images. fin. earthenware. marble. and
great quantities of enameled tiles, the color.
ing and glazing Of which are still surpris'
ingly fresh. can yet be found in these
mounds. On the face of every brick ~
stamped in cuneiform the name ard titles
of N-buchadnezzar. They are all laid face
downward. and the cement in which they
are iInbedded is 80 hard that they can Only
be detached with the greatest difficulty.

General, and Congressman J. IL. Sypher
appeared on the streets, having returned to
the city Friday evening.
Colonel Field has had his stay in the
North cut short ty the Crisis OF affairs IN
Louisiana. Although his health needed
still longer the bracing air Of the North he
forgot his personal debility and returned
immediately to aid with his counsel tho
direction Of events.
General Sypher has been doing, as he
always does, excellent service for Louisiana
and comes to see if he can do more good
here. During his career in Congress he has
never been conspicuous except when meas
ures for the prosperity Of the whole people
have been under discussion. Then he has
been lion in the path Of their opponents.
In al! those things of which Louisiana is
most desirous he has been most vehement,
and. in his own sphere. successful. So
skillful has he been that, although partially
defeated in the Senate, the measures that
he advocated are in that condition that
they can be taken up again at the next
session. General Sypher is candidate for
reelection. and should receive the support
