We learn the Appropriation bill will bl
signed in a day or two, and the faithful vii
receive their long looked for recompense fol
services rendered. 1t was stated that the En-
rolling Committee had some dispute with
Billy Vigers about the text of the bill, and
there was a halt. One wanted certain little
things inserted which the other did not, and
they have gared at one another until cessa-
ton of hostilities was effected, and now the
bill will be all right for Kellog8s Signature.
Strnws.
The tender Of the Postmastership of this
city to Pinchback is another straw which
shows which way the wind blows at the White
House. Under color Of compromise" a
majority Of legislators pledged to return
brother-in-law Casey to the Senate, is to be
manipulated into membership, and "brass-
tack Pinch being bought off, the thing is
expected to work I" smooth as glass"
Rest for the Wicked.
Pitt has concluded to settle down, at least
for while yet, and to live in that peace he
seems to think now assured. He has con-
cluded a lease for handsome residence on
Rampant street, near Canal for two years, and
will probably take possession at an early day.
Some one suggests that Pitt may not occupy
the premises 50 long, but he seems to feel
sanguine that he will probably be Governor
ing for the occasion.
The Crows.
The crowd at the State-House although
diminished in numbers, makes up in exac-
tons and demands for settlement of their lit.
tie claims for multitude. They individually
think that each should have preference over
the other, and owing to the peculiar forma-
ton of things in this world that is rendered
impossible. Now, since the appointment OF
Gen. Badger as tax collector, the Office of
Pitt is besieged with those who either hope
for the position themselves or want it for
their friends. It is expected chief will be
named to-day.
The General Appropriation Bill.
The General Appropriation bill is still the
cause Of anxiety to the faithful. They are
troubled, but they will not agree.
The little differences could be arranged if |
it were not for one fact, and that is that Billy
has copy Of the engrossed bill and it does
not agree with either of the two enrolled,
and Billy thinks his bill is a good one and is
standing by it.
1t is the duty Of the committee to enroll
the bill as it was engrossed, but the commit
tee contends that the engrossed bill IS incor-
rect, and they fixed the inaccuracies when
they enrolled it. Billy takes the opposite
view, and there it stands.
1t is predicted that settlement will be
made to-day and the bill signed
Purchase of the state House.
BY the act conveying the st. Louis Hotel to
the State Of Louisiana, the State assumes the
payment of six notes, for twenty odd thousand
dollars each, the first falling due in April of
this year, and the others maturing annually
thereafter the whole amounting to 1924, 700,
and the balance one hundred and twenty-six
thousand dollars, the State is to pay in six
OF Sd, 000 each, payable on the
Doth of July and Goth Of October of each
year. the first one falling due in July, 1875.
1t will be seen that this contract binds the
State for sixty odd thousand dollars for three
years, including the present, and for twenty
thousand dollars for three years more.
