CL1NrON'S APPEAL.

sented by Clinton yesterday to the House Of
Representatives.
It is hard hearted crowd this House, and
as will be seen by the report Of the proceed
ings, the appeal had no effect:
STATE OF LOUISIANA, !
Auditors Office,
New ORLEANS, April -, 1875
To the Honorable Speaker and Members Of the
House Of Representatives:
1 most respectfully request your body to
appoint, at your earliest convenience, trust
worthy accountant whose capacity and integ-
rity are known to the public, as an expert to
examine the books, vouchers and accounts OF
this Office.
1 desire, and think 1 have right to de-
mand for this work, a person who will have
no political, personal or venal motive IN max
ing either favorable or unfavorable report,
and whose report when made, will be the re-
suit Of genuine and fair investigation.
Committees of both Houses of the General
Assembly have at different times been APP
pointed Tor this purpose, but, with some hon
orable exceptions, have developed other de-
signs than those for which they were ap-
pointed.
The usual plan has been for some one or
two members of such committees to have
delegated to themselves the entire charge Of
the work, and then employ irresponsible and
totally incompetent personsas clerks, to manu-
facture reports to suit the special purposes of
their employers. Such reports have been used
with q view to force me into what believe to
be illegal designs upon the State treasury.
Charges of fraudulent disbursements of the
public money have been freely made by per-
sons whose wishes have not acceded to,
which repel as false and slanderous, every
one of them. The public, however, have q
right to know the truth or falsity of them.
and for this purpose and in justice to myself,
I request rigid but non-partisan investiga-
ton OF the hands of person who has no
other interest than to discover and report the
| truth.
am aware that it is wholly the province of
your honorable body to direct the manner OF
the investigation, but in order to thoroughly
divest it of any partisan purpose, respectfully
request and urge that you authorize, by reso-
luton or otherwise, the President of the Cot
ton Exchange and the President of the Mer-
chants Exchange to appoint an expert, known
to the commercial community as competent,
honest and impartial, thus securing report
satisfactory to the public and just to me.
Doubtless in the great difficulties surround
ing the administration Of the duties OF my
Office mistakes may have been made, and fol
these so far as any may be found to have oc'
Cured through my fault, l do not object te
being held responsible; but most earnestly
protest against an investigation made as has
heretofore been the case, by clerks who are
mere impecunious tools, incapable OF making
either an honest or correct report.
Very respectfully,
CHAs CLINTON, Auditor.

The Stage from Catholic Point Of View.
The following is an extract from the sermon
preached by the Rev. Father Young at the
funeral of the late Dan Bryant, the famous
negro minstrel:
The Catholic Church does not find in the
dramatic profession aught to condemn. 1t is
an honorable profession. The actor, the law
yer, the merchant, the banker, have all their
duties to perform, always subservient to the
claims of religion. 'First strive to save your
soul, and then become a good actor, lawyer or
whatever you WISH" The drama, properly
considered. is full of good lessons, the ult-
mate triumph Of virtue under all circumstances
and the defeat of hypocrisy and vice. Were
the stage as fond of the Church as the Church
is of the stage all would be WELL
Were the drama as respectful to the priest
hood as the priesthood is to it there would be
no. word against it. The drama has not
treated the Church as we'll as the Church has
treated it. It is wrong to place priest upon
the stage in false light The dramatic ele-
ment pervades everything. Life is q drama
and death is the most moving of all dramas in
this world. The great sacrifice of the mass,
which has been offered up for the repose Of
the soul of our deceased friend, is play, and
the most successful play that has ever been
produced. 1t has enjoyed run of nineteen
centuries, commencing with the divine trag.
edy of Calvary and will last until the end OF
time. It is the great play Of Christs Passion,
the constant repetition Of the tragedy which
resulted in the redemption of the world. The
Catholic Church always shelters her children
and her arms are stretched forth fer them.
No matter what distracting profession man
may be engaged in, this loving mother viii
ever be his guardian and at the moment o
death she is beside him.-Ne,o York Herald

condemns before its accuracy is tested, as it
must be tested under the resolution of i'm
parchment passed by the House.
If Clinton is not suspended. he cannot be
touched by the Legislature until next session,
for certainly he cannot betried at the present,
and the intervening time is entirely too long
to allow him to continue in Office with the
grave charges Of the committee pending.
AS above stated, the action Of the Senate

That the session will not be extended can
