THE WAY THEY DO IT.

In the official report of the proceedings o
the body presided over by Mike Hahn, On &
call of the House to ascertain if there was 9
quorum, on the 25th, the name of Mr.. Car
mouche, Of st. Landry, is included by the
immaculate Vigers, whereby the required
number of fifty-fve members is obtained
We have been call ed upon this morning by
BIr. Carmouche, who most emphatically de-
MES that he was at any time at the St. Louis
Hotel yesterday, or that he has taken any
part in the proceedings of the 'trump" pre-
sided over by Hahn, since the invasion Of the
Legislature by United States troops.
Mr.. Carmouche, who is staunch and IN
wavering Conservative, naturally feels indg
nant that the unscrupulous villain, who acts
as Chief Clerk of the St. Louis Hotel 8Iensgerie,
should have dared to report him as actually
present and acting in concert with that non
descript crowd.
1t follows hence that Mr.. Carmouche not
having been in the so-called House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday, the use OF his name by
Vigers is another specimen OF the fraudulent
manner in which the records of that body are
kept, and that Mere couLI be no quorum at this
pretended sitting Of pretended Legislature,
even admitting (Which is far from being
proven that the introduction Of Mr.. Car
mouches name in the roll of the members
was the only false entry in Vigers's books.
The Conservative members, who very prop
erly refuse to have anything to do with the
Hahn Legislature would do well to watch
closely those so-called official reports Of Visers,
IS it is almost certain that what he has done
with reference to Mr.. Camouche will doubt
less be repeated in the case Of other MON bers {

1t may not be improper to call the attention
of the Honorable the Congressional Committee
to the undlsputed facts here presented, and
by an examination of the appropriation bill
OF 1874, in all its details, an estimate can be
readily made how much it costs the people to
support the Kellogg government. We have
not before US any data to show what are the
expenses of other State governments. but we
can assert that it is our candid belief, that in
proportion to our population and wealth, our
expenses are three times as much as for SINH
lar expenditures in other States.
These facts and figures account in great
degree for the present unfortunate condition
of our State. Every honorable effort was
made at the last election to secure an honest |

turning Board and Grants bayonets we would

STATE EXPENSES.

We present an accurate statement of the
yearly expenditures for the Legislature, fol
salaries for printing and for the contingent
expense of the State departments for ten
years. 1t will be particularly noted that all
the expenses rapidly increased as soon as the
Radical party got firm hold of the State.
The Constitution was adopted in 1868, and
the first Radical Governor, Warmoth, was
elected The effects of the reconstruction
| acts for evil, are clearly shown by the stats
tics we present. From 1856 to 1867 the rate
Of State taxation was 81 mills. Under the
new powers and under the new Constitution
the rate of increased taxation commenced,
viz For 1868, mills; 1869, = mills; 1870
10 mills; 1871, - mills, 1872, 49, mills:
and 1873, 2ll mills.
For period Of six years under Radical rule
o3l, 39l, 7l3 were squandered for governme entail
expenses. Il was solely in consequence of
the increased rate of taxation, and the in
creased cost for supporting the State govern
ment, that all values rapidly deprecated
The shrinkage in the value of real estate and
stocks IS simply frightful- the loss can scarce
y be estimated. 1t is Kellogg's proudest |
boast that he has diminished expenditures, |
4 claim as unfounded in fact as is his claim |
% the gubernatorial Office A few more such |
and we are lost.
We make comparison between the last two
7ears Of Warmoths and the first two years Of
Aellogg's administration.
