THE CITY ATTORNEY.

1t is difficult to say at present whether
we have two City Attorneys or none at all.
The City Council yesterday moved in a
body upon Mr.. Walsh's works and COM
PEELED him to leave. whereupon Mr.. Jonas
was installed. As both the gentlemen
are Democrats. and either Of them be-
lieved to be capable o: discharglng the
duties of City Attorney. we have no po-
litical interest in this question. and as
little that is personal. But a. it is oar
duty to point out what is the law and the
precedent to the new Corners in the City
Hall-gentlemen who. fresh from machine
shops and the humble walks Of private
life. are not skilled in nice questions of
law. it is our duty to inform the City
Council that Mr.. Walsh will be pretty
sure to establish his title to the Office and
his claim to the salary. Doubtless Mr..
Jonas will receive pay also for his ser.
vices. but that will not save the city from
the necessity Of paying Mr.. Walsh also.
It is not the first time tina! Demo-
cratic city administration has been COM
PEELED to pay twice for the same service
through ignorance Of the law.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-12-08
COL0NIzED VOTES.

The Democratic papers point with
exultation to the fact that in such par
ishes as De Soto, Bienville, Sabine and
others. where no Republican was allowed
to vote. the number actually voting
bears very fair proportion to the number
registered. Several parishes are men
toned, in which there was vote OF from
eighty TO ninety per cent OF the number
registered. This is no evidence of fair
ness, for no one supposes the Democracy
to be such ninnies as to stuff ballot-box
with more tickets than there are voters in
the parish.
In De Soto parish, for instance. we have
positive evidence that white people from
Texas came in and did the voting. while
the negroes were scared out Of sight
The whole Of what is brought forward by
the Democracy as the returns of De Soto
has been rejected by the Returning
Board. Oh the ground that they are
not what they purport to be. The
supervisor declares he was compelled to
certify under duress that papers were
correct which he knew were not. These
returns were concocted by outside par
ties. the supervisor compelled to sign
them, and are of no possible value, since
they do not set forth the result Of what
occurred in De Soto. They pretend to
say thousand votes were cast when it IS
known that not one-fourth of thousand
voters of the parish came within voting
distance of the ballot box at Mansfield all
day. Having, therefore. held no election.
the supervisor has no returns to make
nothing to report The Returning Board
has not had anything from De Soto
before it. that is. nothing importing the
action of the legal voters of that parish on
election day. When the Democracy is
able to produce anything worthy the
name OF returns it will. no doubt. be
treated with proper respect. But they
must not suppose that because an unpro-
tected supervisor was bullied into obe-
dience that the Returning Board can be
served in similar.

ANOTHER POLITICAL STORM BREWING.

ANOTHER POLITICAL STORM BREWING.
We have no reason to doubt the ina
formation which we received yesterday in
tangible shape that another armed attack
on the State government is ordered for the
present week. 1t may possibly be post
poned, but at present the chances are nine
in ten that some demonstration will be
made. Preliminary orders have already
been issued, and the final word will soon
follow if it be deemed prudent or peces-
sary. The State has no forces adequate
to repel an attack of the White Leaguers.
and our only reliance is upon United
States troops. even if they be sufficient for
the emergency. The State militia disap-
peared with the first cloud Of danger last
fall. carrying their fine uniforms to a
place of concealment. The police is few
in number and weak in morale. So We
must depend chiefly upon Uncle Sam OF
go to the wall this time. 1t may possibly
be the intent Of the Democracy to make a
test Of how far they can go without com.
ing in collision with the federal forces. If
such be their intent. it is likely we shall
all be the wiser before next Saturday night.
1t is Of no great consequence what is
chosen as the immediate cause of the out
break-there is but one question that
divides the people. and that relates to
obedience to federal law. But there is
great deal in il. and it may take another
war-a small one perhaps-to settle it be-
You'd dispute. Certainly. the Republican
party of Louisiana in 1874. like the slaves
in 1861. are too weak and too poor in re-
sources to fight the quarrel alone. As
Congress is in session. we shall not have
to wait long for response.

CARR, TO THE PUBLIC.


Asmauseer Of the gift concerts given In ald OF

ates an impOJ tant trust in behalf OF the ruo''o "
brary and the ticket holders Of the hfth gil. con
cert. The Public Library Of Kentucky and the
ticket holders jointly interested in the
of the drawing. The larger the fund TO be ais
irbuted liz gifts the greater will be the gift award
ed to each lucky ticket holder. and the more Ino
amount realized by the library. To have tail
drawing 10 so manfestly to the interest OF those n
terested that, rather than have fractional ara"
ing on the thirtieth instant, deem it due 10 the
trust confded to me by the ticket holders and tho
Public Library of Kentucky, that short posi-
ponement be made TO enable me to dispose OF the
unsold tickets and have full drawing. ihous"
the very large amount now in bank would enable
us to dist tribute handsome gfts, yet we should Ieei
disappointed in this last concert should we Dc
compelled to make o fractional drawing however
large.
We have received so very large number OF let
tiers from all parts of the country from those most
largely interested urging q postponement II al
the tickets be not sold by tho tlirtieth, that We
feel strengthened ia our sense Of duty 10 LUG
ticket holders and the Public Library 10 make the
postponement. Under the circumstances We have
determined In the interest Of sll parties to post
pone the concert and dra wing to SATURDAY. Feb
ruary n, 1875 ct which time the drawing will
positively take place. and, as a guarantee Of good
faith toward ticket holders. we pledge ourselves
to refund 70 any ticket holder his money upon
presentation of his ticket should the drawing fail
to come OF at the day nov fixed. The past. We
feel assured. will be sufficient guarantee TO all
interested that they will be fairly and honestly
dealt with. The money paid for tickets is sacredly
preserved against all contingencies until after the
payment Of the gifts after which the expenses are
to be mbursed and the Public Library 10 to be
paid its profits.

3. The promoters Of this road should
canvass New Orleans for all the cash SUBJ
scriptions to be had Merchants had as
we'll send ten per cent OF their stock to
auction after their winters sales are over
and subscribe the proceeds to the road as
10 let them lie on their shelves over sum
mer. One Mardi Gras excursion FROM
Dallas will pay it all back; and more COM
mittees competent to explain the impor-
lance Of this road TO the merchants, land
owners and planters should be sent along
the line. They should solicit from such
persons subscriptions Of land, money or
labor. They should urge the policy Of
county and parish subscriptions. 1t
should be explained that such road
would enhance the taxable value Of the
land far beyond the principal of the coun-
ty or parish bonds subscribed or Endorsed
for the company. 1t could be made plain
that much of the dirt work Of the road
could be made by the planters
resident along the line. 1t would
consist chiefly Of grubbing and ditch
ing. That crossties could be cut
and piled along the line. That by
doing such work. payable part money
and part in stock. the planters would be
practically working on their own road to
market, and that the saved freight on
one or two crops Of cotton would more
than reimburse the subscription. It is
not impossible that in the present dearth
Of demand for rail and rolling stock. pur.
chases Of both might be made payable in
part with the bonds or even the stock OF
the company. A work begun with such
integrity. and prosecuted in so practical a
manner, will command the confid ence OF
capitalists, and when its mortgage bonds
shall be put in market, its completion
will be comparatively easy. At least vii
lagos in the United States have commenced
with far less resources. and secured the
construction of valuable railroads.
Such in our opinion is the proper
mode OF building a road to Texas. Ask
the help of the country. Economic and
concentrate our own resources and go to
work practically and the work is insignif-
cant in comparison with the resources ap'
plicable to its construction. While we
have no specific objection to aiding pub
lie work by the use of public credit we
are satisfied that the effort to reach Texas
by adding to the corporate debt of New
Orleans-were such an increase even
legal-will be futile from the doubt and
degradation which surround the public
securities of our State and city. We
recommend this practical American plan
for adoption.
