POLITICAL On DIT.

= There is considerable talk in political ci
c!es over the little game which has been goin
on In the State-House, for number Of day
past, over the Appropriation bill, and Clinton
the lamb-like, has received large share

came to find place in the bill, will be show
in another column; but it was not SO muc

ROtunda Talk.
There was not the usual number of Cos
sipers stirring about the st. Charles Hotel las
evening, owing perhaps to the many theatri
cal attractions of the night. Those who were
there, however, We're busy over the prospect.
OF the coming extra session and indulging il
guessing as to the manner in which the
House Of Representatives would be organized
The arrival Of Messrs. Wheeler, Phelps and
Potter, which Is looked for within the next
thirty-six hours, has given rise to the opinion
that they will be present on the floor of the
House and supervise things generally.
Radical members only smile when this
suggestion is made to them, and intimate
that SO far as the House is concerned it can
| take care Of itself. 1t is evident from their
conversation, however. that they still have
some fears Of a demonstration and possibly a
little scrimmage, but how they can imagine
this when the Conservative caucus has ac-
cepted the compromise with, as they say, a
full knowledge of the facts, it is difficult to
understand. AS we have said before the
status OF the House will be fixed by their
Committee on Elections, and if the unseated
darkies kick it will be Pitts lookout.
The New Funding Board.
Pitt has been throwing out more bait to
catch these fishes called the public. He wants
the people to understand that he is in dead
earnest in his desire to work out the saliva
ton Of poor Louisiana. The last piece of
minnow he has placed on the hook is the in
timation that he would in order to place a
check on the Funding Board, lobby through
an act in extra session appointing on the
board such well known gentlemen as John
Phelps, President of the Cotton Exchange.
and Messrs. John I. Raymond and Schnei
der, both well-known merchants These. he
says, would detect any attempt at spoliation
and protect the people.
1t is amusing to see how the tribes of the
faithful receive these startling departures
from Pitts old beaten path. Some refuse to
believe he can have become converted SO
whilst others rub their noses with
their fore finger and slyly hint that the old |
man is sharp and is playing for all there is in
,he cards. He wants that character he feels
ne has left some where, and he wants the
master who has tried to throw him out of
loors to give it to him if possible. It is
hardly compliment to his old hackers on
he Funding Board for him to say the people
ught to have some check on their doinps
,ut Pitt doesn't care for them now, of
curse.

The New Superintendent of Police, 6
1t was learned last night that Kellogg had a
'pointed Col. Jack Wharton to the Office of L
lperintendent Of Police. This settles effect
lily all the curiosity about who the lucky n
dividual would be, and no doubt gives o
lletus to the aspirations of quite number.
H. Wharton is well known about town. and
s reputation for courage and dash which tt
of high order. By his bonhommie he has r
sde large and extensive circle Of friends "
re, and will enter upon the duties of the n
ice with more well wishes than any other
pointment that Pitt would make. O
