THE FUNDING BOARD CHECK.
MATED.
$4,000 Saved to the State.

| The Funding Board last week were about
to exchange new bonds Tor the New Orleans,
Mobile and Texas Railroad second mortgage
bonds guaranteed by the State, so far as
| Warmoth and Kellogg could bind the State.
A supplemental petition had been filed in the
original omnibus Injunction, suit No. 1863 OF
| the Superior District Court, some time in the
summer or fall Of 1878, which went against
| these guarantee bonds, of which War
moth had Endorsed $3.50, 600 and Kellogg
S125, COO But a little condition vas annexed
to the guarantee of these bonds, namely
That section OF forty miles Of the road
should be complete and running before a
certain date, and that, in case of failure,
the obligation of the State should cease and
determine"
This little condition of time lapsed, Janu-
airy Is, 1871 when only fourteen and one
quarter miles of road had been completed
The obligation of the State then ceased and
determined. The constitutional limit OF
the State debt had in the meantime been
passed, and in the words of Judge Hawkins
inc S-o,UVp,o'J 1illllg udl ALREADY Deen t&-
ceeded Any guarantee after that would be the
creation Of now debt, and this was pro-
hibited
Notwithstanding this Warmoth, some
three months after, guaranteed bonds for
section and 4 half OF ferty miles Or SOC geo
of these second mortgage bonds, and his
successor, Kellogg, put his Sign manual to
Sl25, 900 moie.
Last Saturday Mr.. J. Q, \. Fellows who
has ad the principal charge of this traudu-
lent State debt atf,ir from the beginning,
learned through the Attorney General thai
the Funding Board was about to fond these
$50, 900 second mortgage bonds While kill
ing Off the -, 500, 900 Nflmilion and Shreve-
port branch bonds, in the same case, he
proved up the facts above stated and made
absolute his injunction against Auditor
Clinton and Treasurer Du5uclet us to these
$3.50, GEO So through the Attorney General
the Beard was quietly notified of the finaity
of the in JUNCTION and the proof that had been
made.
We had supposed thar bonds for only one
section of forty miles, say $500, 900, had been
issued well knowing that no second section
of forty miles had been completed. But there
is no keeping up with the fraudulent acts of
the men in power. We even find bonds for
seventy miles, guaranteed, when only sixty
seven are now built and running

A BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Diamonds and Jewelry.

| About 9 o'clock yesterday the house Of
Mr.. J. 2. Phillips 56s Barronne street, wa:
entered by an unknown burglar and the house
robbed Of five hundred dollars worth of Jew
elry and diamonds. 1t appears that Mrs.
Phillips had gone to market, and upon leav-
| ing the house closed the front shutters and
secured the door,
| Upon her return she found, to her aston
ishment that the shutter had been forced
open and that one Of the panes of glass had
been cut out with a GLACIERS diamond, and
through this place the thief put his hand and
unf4stened the night latch. Mrs. Phillips
found that the burglar had left his coat in the
hurry of making his exit. This is bold and
daring robbery in daylight. The police
should have been there.
Since the above there have been several
conflicting reports made by different parties
\ gentleman met this reporter yesterday,
about 10 o'clock, and stated that the amount
of burglary was from $500 to $500. repor-
ter from this office went to the house of Mr..
Phillips, and learned from the lady in the
house that the burglars entered as above
stated, and turning the armoir around, I'M
screwed the back and rihed it, but left the
clothing in the haste of their retreat and that
they took a cross made of Cape May dia-
monds, valued at from $40 to So and Jewell
ry, amounting in all at $50. Another
statement is that of Captain J. Gray, of the
Fifth Precinct, who sends his report
in at 7:20 last T. NJ, when the robbery oc-
Cured at between and 10 A. NJ If the
Captain would be as prompt to send the
burglares and robberies that occur in his
precinct as he is to correct reporters, perhaps
he would do a great benefit to the papers.
Some one suggests that the Captain would
make good clerk for pawnbroker, as he
has the price of jewelry down SO fine. You
have missed your avocation, Capt. Gray.
Gen. A. s. Badger Sup erintendent Metropolitan
Corp. Murphy rep orts that about II o'clock
this morning, while the inmates We're at mar
ket, the residence of Mr.. Phillips, No. 5GS
Baronne street, was entered by some I'M
known person or persons, who stole there
from set of bogus jewelry valued at one dol
lar. An entrance was effected by cutting the
window blinds IN the rear of the premises
| see by the Evening Picupule that this Jew
elry was valued at 500, aud the owner. who
ought to know best, valued it at one dollar.
| would therefore advise the P;cQgtne not to
so into the JeTelry business as | am afraid he
would lind 1t very Improbable. J. GRAY,
Captain Sixth Precinct

The Senate Republican caucus to-day dis

the Appropriation bills upon the Republicans.
To this they object.
Nothing is decided, the majority report will
be signed by Foster, Phelps, Marshall and
Potter, recommending that Kellogg be kept
in power, and the rejected members returned
TO their seats. 4. S. III.
