society will be to protect its mem
bers from the raids of the fair sex,
to promote and encourage amuse-
ment, to furnish recreation for the
mind, wearied by incessant appli-
cation to mental Employment and
as a means of advancing the intel
lectuality of it's members. Every
one of them deserve to be haunted
by old maid during the remainder
of their existence.) All members
unsteady inclined, are expected to
have such musical Instrument as he
may possess, on hand,if anywise con-
venient, at the club meeting, and
those who are unable to comply

ing. All persons DESTROYS of join
ing the club, are requested to
leave their names at the News
Depot, where good reading matter
can always be found.

The Committee on Ways and Means
reported that they could get room OF
Aid. Pack, for city officers, at 1925 a
year, and another for $50. Also rooms
in the Mcdonald Block at $3.50 and
1925.
It is very essential matter, this pro-
curing offices for city officials. That is
it will be good thing for. the party
lucky enough to rent the city room.
But perhaps the city fathers can secure a
whole block somewhere, as there are
numerous officers who could probably
occupy the various apartments. But
they haven't said word yet about get
ting an Office for the Pound Master.
A special committee appointed to
draft rules for the government Of the
Common Council, presented code OF
bylaws and rules, which were adopted
and ordered printed.
The Council appear 10 have gotten IN
TO quite middle, and they are DESTROYS
that the business Of the city should be
conducted properly, but they don't know
how or where to commence. There were
some thirty odd of these rules for the
government of the Council, the purport
of which can all be found in the city
charter, and If the members of the Council
will take the pains of examining the
charter, they will find all the "rules'
necessary for their government. They
have probably forgotten, or never known
that on pages 40, Al, and AZ Of the pro-
ceedings for 1871, finder date of July 81,
there are rules and regulations for their
government, one section of which reads :
"These rules shall not be amended or re-
pealed, except by consent Of three-fourth
of the Aldermen elect" Now we would
suggest that the number of these use
less rules, just adopted, be put at 5000,
and let the Pioneer man have the job at
double rates.
According to the report Of the CON-
mittee, Mr.. Hitchcock refuses to sell the
right of way for the extension OF CHS
holm street to- The bay.
A special committee appointed to ex-
anime the streets cleared by Mr.. Ray
burn, reported in favor of paying for the
work, providing the contractor gives the
city bond In the sum of $1,000 that
the city will not be liable II Mr.. Ray
burn has not fulfilled his agreement. The
report was accepted and adopted.
This seems to be funny way Of doing
business. II the Common Council do
not think that The contract with Mr..
Rayburn has been fulfilled, why don't
they refuse to accept the work and done
with It; then Mr.. Rayburn would know
what to do. Asst Is, IT seems that "onc
Is AFRAID and the nest are ditto"
The Comptroller presented his bond,
which was accepted.
The Council allowed the bill of the
Street Commissioner. and then took IL
all back again for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

1t is true an election for Senators and
Representatives. in the General Assembly
will take place; but under the modern
practice, introduced under the present ad-
mnistration, seat in the Legislature is
worth eight dollars day for sixty days,
and not much more.-Repubtican.
Under the present Republican administra-
ton, it has been a rule, with but few excep-
tions, rigidly observed, for Senators and
Representatives. in the Louisiana Legisla-
ture to make their seats pay very hand
somely-and largely over eight dollars a
day.
Ask that distinguished negro chairman OF
the Committee on Contingent Expenses,
Dave Young, how much money he made
out of his position, by levying black nail
on the members and employees of the
Legislature. Ask Devices, Wands, Mathews,
Bonham, Montaldo. and host of others, if
they did not realize more than eight dollars
day. Claims for virtue like those set up
by the Republican, in behalf of its party
and leaders are too absurd. Such venaliry,
ignorance and bare faced corruption never
disgraced State administration like that
which are now characteristic of the Kellogg
usurpatiOn.
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-05-15
IGNORANCE AND TYRANNY.

Every man in the State regardless OF poll
tics has now "a crow to pick" with "truth-
full" VIM. Pitt, for we have it from the best
authority, that some weeks since, Honest
Auditor Clinton becoming disguised and res
tive at the perpetual crack of the party
whip, and perhaps alarmed at threatened
disclosures; rendered his resignation to the
de .facto, (which he did thrice refuse"
This we regard as most objectionable
otfense, and one for which he will not be for
given by any decent man of either party.
Here was golden opportunity ruthlessly
thrown away of Kidding the State OF a
leech whose ancestors must have hailed
from Hungary, of sending to Coventry
political renegade and mischief breeder who
has been at once an insult and disgrace to
the community.
With Clinton retired and sunk into mer
tied oblivion, there would be a decided i'm
provemeLt in the political outlook, even
should Wickliffe have to be recalled to SUI
percede him, for Wickiiffe, bad as he was,
was a modest, retiring and mild hammered
gentleman compared with our present Audi
tOrial abortion.
Wickliffe was an educated man, we be-
lieve, whereas Clinton is the quintescence of
imbecility and ignorance. We are perfectly
serious when we say that he cannot spell
many of the simplest words in the English
language, and that he never wrote para
graph or letter in his life that was not as
full of errors as an egg is of meat. 1t is a
matter of record that he cannot even spell
the name of the street upon which his Office
is located. Yet this is the man Kellogg clings
to and will not permit to resign. Well,
tyranny and ignorance ever go hand in hand,
and SO Clinton, the ignoramus, and Kellogg,
the usurper, will, we presume, go march,
ing on to the end"

COLOGNE WATER.-Cologne water was
formerly quack medicine, described as an
:. elixir which has the power of restoring
the parts of the body which are attacked by
any disease or predisposition to the same, of
certifying and re-establishing their natural
functions, Of insnuating into them a mode
rate and living warmth, which, sympathiz-
ing with their own, teammates their vital
forces," etc. A correspondent of the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal gives copy of
an advertising circular, dated January 13,
1897, which, after describing the effects of
eau de cologne, as above, warns the public
against purchasing the elixir from any one
but Antoine Farine, Of Cologne, to whom
the secret Of its connection had been re-
vealed by Signor Paul Feminis, the inven-
tor, who was native Of the same city.

OUR BROTHER-IN-LAW

The nation has its brother-in-law in Col
lectoT Casey and Louisiana enjoys the same
expensive luxury in one Stoutmeyer, the
brother-in-law of our virtuous and economi-
cal Auditor. At the instigation of Mr.. Gin
ton, the African Legislature of this State,
in 1873, passed an Act No. 90, page 81, Great
ing the office of "Auditor Solicitor" with a
salary of $500 per annum. 1t seemed that
for some reason, the Attorney General is not
sufficient or competent to advise the Auditor,
and therefore special attorney, something
unheard of before, is accorded to Mr.. Cln-
ton.
Not finding a lawyer here of requisite
qualifications, however, he imports from st.
Louis his brother-in-law, Stoutmeyer, and
instals him in the comfortable Office, with
its $500 salary.
The time Of this Auditors solicitor seems
entirely occupied in bringing libel suits for
his brother-in law, Clinton. What other
services he renders the State for the pay he
receives, we are not prepared to say. But,
in all fairness, we submit that it is an imposi-
ton on the tax payers Of Louisiana to make
them pay Mr.. Stoutmeyer $500 simply for
prosecuting libel suits on behalf Of the An
ditor. If Mr.. Clinton wishes to indulge in
this luxury, let him pay out of his osn
pocket the salary Of his brother-in-law,
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1874-05-15

1t is probable there will not be the deep
interest felt in the next election in this State
which usually attaches to such an event.
Republican.
For the best reason in the world. The
election under Kellogg's control promises to
be farce. The people know this and hence
they manifest little or no interest in it.
WHAT is the use of voting, when there is a
Federal Judge at hand with armed soldiers
to set aside the verdict of the people if it
should be against the Republican Admins
tration9 Under kellogg's election law, the
expenses of State election might be saved
by simply requesting the de tacto to appoint
his Legislature and fill all the offices with his
pets. The election law indirectly gives him
that power, and he may as well exercise it
without any circumlocution. 1t will save
both time and money.
