The gentlemen elected police and fire
commissioners by the general council
are among our most reputable and most
capable. citizens. We doubt that five
better could have been selected. Mr..
Leath, first on the list, is gentleman,
wbo' as a merchant many years ago,
earned deserved prominence for probity,
fromptness aud intelligence, and sery-
ing as superintendent Of the public
schools did much 70 place them On their
present excellent footing. Mr.. A. Vac
caro-, ST., stands among the inst of our
merchants, and as a representative Of
our large Italian population is every
way acceptable. ar. William H.
Mo- Ge, well-known among underwriters
an 20 the business community, is re-
gs ried as decided acquisition to a
card that will find its duties no
Easy task. Mr.. J. +. Frank
is a representative OF our Ger
man feilow-citizens, and a merchant
OF the highest standing. A man OF con-
ssrvative but decided views, and largely
interested in the city, he is the right
man in the right place. or Mr.. Michael
Magevney we need hardly say any
thing, so well known as he is for integri-
ty and answering fidelity to principle.
He itas studied and knows our munich
pS affairs we'll, and will, no doubt, be
the leading spirit Of the commission.
The general council has done well in
selecting these gentlemen. They are all
worthy and well qualified for their po-
duOns.

THE BLUE AND TIE GREY.
Patriotic Letter From an Ez'Et derai
Omeer, IndOrsing the Action OF
the EX.COnTedsFasGs Of
HemPbia.

EDITORS APPEAL-1 h9ve read with
much interest and pleasure the proceed
ings Of the meeting held by the eX'
Cgafederates in your city on Saturday
evening, &c Published in your Sunday
issue. The letter Of our excellent friend
TomlinsOn will meet with the hearty
appreciation Of all true, generous Fed
eral soldiers throughout the Union, and
the liberal, noble action Of the meeting,
and admirable comments Of the APPEAL
are good evidences that the animosities
OF the war are fast giviog way to more
ma9nanimot!s and patriotic feeling. In
1879 took occasion to suggest, through
your paper, the propriety Of de6orstlng
the graves Of the dead Of both armies
without distinction, and again last year
through the press Of Louisville. 1t was
no new departure for me, for it had been
my privilege to advocate such q course,
in Grand Army circles, years before in
Washington. The APPEAL has always
manifested q liberal, generous poll
icy in this respect, but think it Is in
errer when it remarks that the only bar
to union Of the people in the cere-
monies is that the government discrim-
mates In the burial of the dead. Per-
NIT me to remind you that in the ceme-
tery at Arlington and other places In
the north the dead Of the two armies lie
side by side, each receiving equal
care and attention from the govern
ment. l have lately observed with regret
that many of the Confederate dead re-
main on the battlefield Of fChickamauga,
and it has occurred to me that the gov
eminent would cheerfully transfer them
70 hn VafinroI OF Thokto
ga if the attention of the proper au.
thorities was called to it. Such an act
would receive the Endorsement of the
entire country. All good citizens, OF
whatever party, will rejoice at the action
Of the Grand Army OF the Republic, at
Chicago, in inviting the ex-COnfederstes
to join in the reunion to be held in that
city in May, but to the Ninth army
corps General Burnside) belongs the
credit of originating the movement. At
its annual reunion, at Harrisburg, in
September last, cordial invitation was
extended to General Longstreet's corps
to join in the reunion in 1875. The two
corps met in nearly every battle in
which they were engaged in the east
and ia the west, hence the feeling of re-
spect that grew up between them. No
more beautiful or fitting tribute can be
paid the memory Of the gallant dead of
the late war than to strew their graves
with the choice flowers of spring. Let
us, then, bury in oblivion all the bitter
ness OF the conflict, and all unite in the
coming ceremonies wherever we may
be, making no distinction whatever be-
tween the blue and the gray. Respect
fully, ]. G. DOUGHERTY,

CIInIsn, she DeIsuItInE Auditor and
Treasurer.


NEW ORLEANS, April 21.-Tbe fol-
lowing is one column OF the five solid
columns of the report of the joint COM
mittee appointed at the general session
to examine the books Of the auditor and
treasurer, showing the character OF the
charges against Clinton. "By reference
to exhibit B it will be seen that the su-
ditor did receive from the several tax
collectors, at various times during the
year 1878, taxes amounting 10 S77, $40 Is,
which he had not paid into the treasury
on the twentieth of March, 1874, nor
any part thereof, and up to the present
date there is no evidence that any more
than $50, ,227 SO Of said sum has found
its way in.o the treasury, and we are
compelled to infer that the auditor still
retains S45 3S2 55 of said amount, which
I'm the first instance he received in vio-
lation of the law and now holds in
defraud of the State. His excellency
the governor, early in the year
1873, advertised in the official
journal and in other daily papers a
notice calling upon all holders of legisla-
tive vouchers Of 1870, 1871 and 1872 to
present the same to the auditor for eX-
animation and approval, if found cor
rect; and he stated In the advertisement
that he would sign no bill appropriating
money for the payment Of the same un-
less the vouchers had first been exam
ined and approved by the auditor; in re-
sponse to this public notice there was
presented to the auditor during the year
1873, for his approval, in amount SAL
800 so; OF this sum the auditor approved
$37, 500 so, and disapproved S39sS,
l5ee auditors report, page 81
1t is well known that many
fraudulent vouchers had been is
suei CT the character referred to,
hence the notice given by the governor
to holders of legitimate vouchers to
prove up their claims before the meeting
OF the general assembly in 1874. II ap-
appears that only S37, SOP so OF legiti-
mate vouchers could be found outstand-
ing, after advertising for more than six
months in the public journal for hold
ers to present them for approval. Yet,
the very day the general appropriation
bill was promulgated, there was present.
ed to the auditor Sl36, ,557 80 of these
vouchers which had not been before
presented, and warrants were promptly
Issued for them. Another remarkable
circumstance in connection with this
affair must not be lost sight OF. 1t is q
notorious fact that the auditor refused
to warrant for vouchers he had Ap-
proved, and to await holders who were
ready to demand warrants. He kept
out Of the way until an Injunction could
be prepared and served, prohibiting him
from warranting for them. Notwith-
standing his manifest reluctance to war
rant for claims which he had approved,
he readily warranted for Sl3S, 567 7S
which be had not previously sp'
proved. These warrants, Issued as they

A Father shot to Death by HI. Own SEN.

SHELBYvILLE, IND, April 21.-On
last Saturday night at st. Paul, some
ten miles east of here, an affrsy occur
red between James Mandlove and his
son David. First words, then stones
and clubs passed, when the son, who is
a desperate character, and who was un-
der the Influence of whisky at the time,
drew q revolver and fired three shots,
the first missing, the second entering
his fathers left arm near the shoulder,
and the third shot striking the arm on
the left side, between the second and

after lingering in extreme pain and
agony, ne died this morning. The son

Ke1os Appeals for Timely Legislation,

New ORLEANS, April Ex-Governor
Kellog to-day sent the following special
message to both houses OF the general
assembly: OF beg earnestly to impress
upon the members of the general assem-
bly, that the term for which they have
been convened in extra session Is rapid
ly drawing to a close, and that thus far
no salutary measures Of public benefit
have been adopted. l am informed that
bills for the relief of the city Of New
Orleans, which are recommended by
committees representing the CONNER
cial and business interests of the city and
State, are before you for action. can
not too urgently remind you of the great
importance OF giving these measures
your immediate and favorable consider
alton, there is time in the three days vet
remaining OF this session to take such
action as will temporarily remedy many
pressing evils, leaving until your regu-
lar session the devisiDg Of more compre-
hensive plans Of general reform. I
again respectfully call your attention to
the desirability Of amending the fund
ing law go IS to give the mercantile
community q representation upon the
funding board, and so as to enable any
person to take steps TO prevent
the funding of invalid obligations.
Permit me to say that 1t is expected Of
you, under the circumstances which
have brought you together, that the
great interests Of the State and city
shall receive the preference in your pro-
ceedings over the advancement Of party
ends, and that our financial condition
renders it very undesirable that the term
of this session should be extended, nor
can it be with justice to the taxpayers or
the creditors Of the State.
