AN ENDURSER.

Mr.. Edltor-Attraced by the manifestly origi-
nal title CT the leader in last Sundays BULLETIN,
perused the artic with steadily increasing in
terest, because its views were strikingly cor
roborative of those had long entertained. My
reflections, when considering the expediency OF
embarking in commercial pursuits, were very
similar to those there found. l appreciate the
necessity of mature elaboration upon the i'm
portance of adopting or avoiding variety OF
plans in the hope Of selecting those calculated to
promote our interest.
The most important consideration seemed to
be- that inasmuch as | could not enjoy the mo-
nopOly OF the business purposed undertaking,
many competitors in the same line being already
established, the necessity OF winning the appro-
baton OF customers by rendering my store as at
tractlve to them as any other In the city was self
evident. l knew that this could not be accom-
plished without securing and constantly keeping
an amply supply Of efficient ssstants, and vigil
lantly guarding against permitting my assort-
ment to become Incomplete. To shrink from the
expenditures without which this important sys-
tenn could not be steadily maintained, 1
deemed too palpable an illustration Of the
''save at the spigot and let out at the
the bung policy to be tolerated in our commu-
nifty, and consequently one which would, il
adopted. rapidly reduce the aggregate OF my GUS
toners, augmenting in 3 similar ratio that en-
loved by my rivals. Concerning the expense OF
advertising, l asked myself this significant ques-
ton: 6 should l, in view of the heavy expense Of
advertising hberaly, avoid that outlay, letting a
few scores possibly hundreds, ofour citizens in
cidentally ascertain that have good assortment
and am willing to sell at very low prices while my
compe itors proclaim to thousands through the
columns Of the papers, that they are prepared
to supply all the goods desired, and will not per-
NIT any house to undeisell them, will not those
competitors feel very grateful to me for thus
rendering myself perfectly harmless to them?"
l, Of course, promptly concluded not to indulge
in such decentralization and having since seen
no reason to believe that 1 acted unwisely, l can
with propriety recognize the publication upon
which have commented production resting
upon the stable foundation of ExPERENoE.

The Crescent City Rife Club.

Our table was graced last evening by an ele
CANT specimen of typography in the shape of the
charter and bylaws Of that popular organization,
the Crescent City Rifle Club. 1t has been for
some time past a source of much graduation to
us to mark the steady advance this energetic
body of gentlemen has made towards establish
ing with us perma nent organization looking to
the Improvement of our marksmen. With the
ample material in our city it has been the occa-
sion of considerable surprise that our rifle shots
did not essay the ranges used in England and at
the North, and the honor is due to the Crescent
City Rife Club OF first introducing long ranges
to our ritlemen.
The charter before us amply evidences the de-
termination of the members to put rifle practice
upon solid basis, and its provisions are ample
and complete to that end.
Mr.. James Buckley, who so neatly executed
the publ ,aton of the pamphlet, deserves credit
for its beau iful appearance.
The following are the officers of the club:
Col W. J. Behan, President; Col. W. T. Vaudry,
Vice President John K. Aenaud, Treasurer !;
SamI Mullen, Secretary.
Trustees II. Remand, Col. NJ. Buck Miller,
Col. John Glynn Jr., Capt. A. g. Smith, Dr. Geo.
Howe.

THAT LEVEE JOB.
A Couple of Letters.

The following correspondence in reference
to the claim of the Levee Company, which
was noted several days ago, explains itself:
STATE OF LOUISIANA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTM'T,
New Orleans, Nov. a, 1876
Hon. Chas. Clinton, Auditor:
Sir-In one of the daily papers of this city, OF
this mornings date, l perceive the following
statement:
1.-THE alleged claim of the Levee Company, we
reinformed, arises out of the unauthor zeu use
OF the funds received into the treasury and
derived from the tax for levee purposes
Will yCu please inform me how far this state
ment is correct.
Very respectfully, VIM. P. KELLOGG.
STATE OF LOUISIANA, AupTroR's OFFICE,
New Orleans, Nov. 6, 1879. J
His Excellency, Gov. W. P. Kellogg:
Gr-In reply to your letter of -he 4th inst,
have the honor to submit the following facts:
During the third quarterly settlement with tax
cole cors in Oc ober 1873 and at the tine OF sus-
pension Of cash payments by the banks IN this
city, tax collectors who had their moneys depos-
iteu could not withdraw the same in currency,
and were obliged to accept certified checks.
These were refused by the State Treasurer, and
caused them to be placed on the deposit in the
Louisiana National Bank and some time after
made use of the same III puIch asing General
Fund Warrants Ga proceeding VIII CHI resulted in
profit to the State of 1927, $50 03), while caused
to bs cha ged to the General Fund, and to the
detriment Of al other funds nearly all OF the COL
lect!ons represented by these certified checks.
A similar course was pursued by me IN Decem-
Der, 1873, when in order to meet large amount
OF interest then matured aud due on the bonds OF
the state, caused to DE turned into the treasury
10 The credit of the interest fund nearly all the
| coils ctiGnS of collectors, who were at that time
| making their settlements.
At that period the levee tax fund, by reason of
| these diversions, became short to the amount OF
$50 36t 8, but by subsequent adjustments dur
| ing 1874 this amount was II duce0, and now the
deficit is only $3.50 05.
the following table shows the proportional
| am cunt due said levee tax fund from the several
parishes, the collections wherein having been
such to preclude adj ustment, as in cases of
other parishes viz:

From the London Times.
1t is no secret that between the counr elors OF
King Alfonso on the one hand, aId the adherents
of his mother, the ex Queen Isabella, on the
other, there has long existed vic ent opposition
1t may be stated that the rupture is now COM
plete, and that the Isabelist or Moderado party
has decided to attempt pronunciamento in favor
Of the ex-queen. AT a recent meeting of the
Moderado leaders the draft OF proposed con-
venio between the Isabeliist and CarIist parties
was adopted, and was subsequently submitted to
and approved by Queen Isabella. A formal docu-
ment mbodying these proposals, and authenti-
Gated with the proper signatures, has since been
forwarded by special envoy to the headquarters
of Don Carlos, whose decision with regard to it is
expected Immediately. l may add that under
the proposed convenio Don Carlos would retain
full sovereignty over the four northern Provinces
while acqulesclng in Queen IsAbena's possession
Of the rest Of Spain.
