COME TO LIFE.
Another Big Job Revived.

During the session of 1875, the Legislature
passed an act, which appears in the published
acts of 1875, on page 81, and is numbered
Act No. "a, and tabled as having been pro-
mulgated April 90, 1875.
The act in substance provides that after the
adjournment of the Legislature, the Commit
tees of the House and Senate shall organize
themselves into joint committee and ascer-
tain the amount due the Levee Company for
| extra work done prior to act of 1873, and that
when the committee ascertain the amount,
they should report to the Governor, and after
this proceeding 1T makes it the duty of the
Funding Board to issue new consolidated
bonds for the full amount, on the application
of the President of the Levee Company, in
person or in writing.
Gov. Kellogg vetoed the bill. and it was
passed in the Senate at the extra session,
over the veto, couple of prominent Con-
servative Senators joining with the Rapubli-
cans in voting for the passage
After the extra session the joint committee
got to work. and il few days presented a
report to the Governor, at his house. and at
b
had completed their labors, and found that
the amount due the Levee Company was
one million seven hundred thousand and
twenty-five dollars.
This was ALL There were no specifications
accompanying the report, and nothing to
show by what process the committee had al
rived at their conclusions.
Everything looked auspicious and lovely
for time, and the Lavee Board was getting
ready to make apple ltion for their bonds for
the full amount, tor the law made an excep-
ton as to this claim, and made it fundable at
par, when Col. Ton Scott stepped in, and be-
fore the United States Circuit Court made ap-
plication, as holder of three of the new con-
soils, for an Injunction prohibiting the Board
of Audit from funding the claim, represent
ing that if it was funded it would impair the
obligations of the State.
Judge Woods heard the case, decided the
bill unconstitutional, granted the injunction
as prayed tor, and made it perpetual.
Judge John A. Campbell counsel for the
Levee Company, appealed the case to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and that
was the last heard of it till several days ago,
when information was received by the State
authorities that Judge John A. Cam pbell had
quietly gone on to Washington, and repre-
sentiog that the matter was of public con-
cernment, had the case advanced on the dock
ct, and that it would be heard at an early day.
Col. Tom Scott has virtually retired from
the case, but the State is interested, and ap-
preciating this fact, the State authorities tele-
graphed to Washington to hold the case until
counsel for the State arrived and in few
days Thos. J. Ssmmes, Esq, will leave for
Washington.
The money which it is proposed to get from
the State by this claim is over and above the
or mt <ha md {l,a
law, from taxes collected.
1t is claimed that it is due the Levee Com
pany for work performed, for which the State
did not pay.

FORTUNES FAVORITES.
Drawing of the Premium Bond
Scheme Last Evening.

After long and somewhat eventful battle
| the scheme proposed some time since by Ad-
ministrator Pllsbury, adopted from that pre-
scented by Mr.. Adler, was last night put into
effect, and the drawing of those bonds en-
titling the owner to cash redemption, had at
Exposition Hall.
The number present. it was vsRy evident,
were of that class most directly intaDsted, for
the attendance, amounting to about three hun
dred, was almost entirely composed of the
leading bankers, merchants and brokers of
the city.
On the large platform fronting the spec "a
tors was placed the large glass wheel in
which the ten thousand numbers neatly
rolled in small brass holders were sealed D.
Two stalwart men went to work turnin g the
wheel and mixing thoroughly the numbers,
when Mr.. Legardeur, the notary public
stepped forward, broke the seals, and stated
that fifty numbers would be drawn according
to the scheme. A small boy, duly blindfolded
with a very large handkerchief, then thrust
his hand into the small door in the wheels
rim and drew forth number, handing the
same to Mr.. Watkins of the Department of
the Administrator OF Accounts, who exposed
it and called it aloud.
The following is the result of the first
drawing, the second taking place six m onths

and saw Harris in the dispensary. | do
not know the party who made the assault,
and have never spoken to him to my knowl-
edge, and don't remember ever seeing
him, until he was brought upstairs to
be punished by the officer on duty.
H I'd the reporter called at this institution he
could have obtained the whole particulars, as
the matter was thoroughly Investigated by the
off GERS of the prison, and the parry who com
mitted the assault Immediately punished. Had
| been connected in any way with the assault
| would have received the same punishment
as the party who committed it.

Mr.. Wilde that he called upon me in relation
to my own case on business for NJ. A. Dooley,
Esq, (my attorney as he (Wilde) occupies a
desk in that gentlemans Office, and on no oc-
casion did he mention anything concerning

quest that you would publish this last, in
justice to Mr.. Wilde. AS regards the Harris
matter you can use your own pleasure.
Respectfully, NJ. A. HOGAN,
