INJUSTICE TOWARD LEGISLATIVE RM-
PLOYES.


1t can not be regarded other than as
shameful conduct on the part of govern
ment that the men who have been en-
ployed as officers, clerks and laborers about
the Legislature should be left without
their pay. And yet such is said to be the
case in many instances in this State at
the present time. 1t matters little whose
fault this is; the very fact that govern
ment does not protect its subordinates in
obtaining the small pittance that is Justly
due them must rebound to its discredit
If it is necessary to lop off expenditures in
order to prevent the disbursements from
exceeding the revenues, let the looping be
done so that it can fall upon all interested
alike, and not as now upon such persons
alone as may be designated by few per-
sons who are not without personal interest
IN the matter. 1t is the duty of the govern
ment to see that its honest creditors are
paid, and no oficer-no matter how high
he may be-should be permitted to con-
tinue /. course that debars those who labor
for the government in subordinate posi-
tons from getting their pay. 1t is not
right for the Auditor to tell such men
that items in the appropriation bill to pay
them are in excess of the revenues and
therefore he will issue no warrants to
them. They are Just as much entitled to
their pay as be is, and he should not be
permitted to keep them out of it.

VAIN RRPININGs.

| The Bulletin is not very well satisfied
with the statesmen and patriots who have
| been employed in responsible positions
| partly upon its own recommendation.
After balancing the accounts of good and
| evil of the late extra session it finds heavy
balance on the wrong side. The reform
bills so zealously Endorsed by our Gravier
street contemporary failed to pass. They
were bad, and the Endorsement no better.
Of course, ''the people are in bad humor
about it, and the Bulletin holds up the bill
OF costs as something enormous, outrage
Gus, as indeed it is. But that is small
matter compared to the great affront of
having its wise and disinterested advice
disregarded. The ring bills were Endorsed
pure Democratic reform. This gave them
sanctity which no member of the party
could disregard with impunity. To vote
against any measure proposed by the leg
islative committees and approved by the
disinterested champion of White Leaguery
is a crime clearly within the statute
against political heresy. Besides, it shows
that the Last Ditch Democracy controls
neither the State nor the Conservative
party.
This censure is to some extent unjust.
The House behaved obediently enough.
1t was the Senate that batf1ed the rings
The House fooled away the first six days
OF the session according to orders, and
then rushed through every job presented
without much discussion, and with but
very imperfect understanding of what
Senate hesitated. They did not exactly
ike.the duty which they were called upon
to perform. The bills which came before
them were not fit to be made into laws,
and there was no time to work them into |
proper shape. Some were indefinitely |
while the great majority died |
without much attempt at parturition.
The House might have done little bet |
ter by acting more promptly. Had these
bills been passed very early in the session
there would have been more time to at |
least try to get them through the Senate. |
AS it was, the Republicans proved them
selves superior to the Democrats in every
thing except voting high rates of mileage |!
and per diem.
If the Bulletin has any more intelligent !
reformers we hope it will have them on
hand for the next election. The present
lot does not appear to suit that great
leader of public opinion.

PAY vs.. PATRIOTISM.

Last winter, when the REPUBLICAN in
nocently remarked that the Conservative
and Democratic members who were then
on strike would come around in time to
get their pay, the honest Bulletin rebuked
US very sharply. In the estimation of our
credulous contemporary, it was but little,
if any, short of downright libel to insin-
uate that the honorable gentlemen whom
the Committee Of Seventy had so securely
under its thumb were actuated by any
of those sordid considerations which in
tluence the average man. They were
serving ''the people" for pure love, and
never so much as thought about their
pay. If the Bulletin will make suitable
apology and admit it's mistake we will
say no more about it.

But if this unfortunate itineracy had
preceded Mr. and Mrs. Schurz into
Louisiana as it did into Missouri; if espe-
cially instead of migrating from Ger
many to Wisconsin, Detroit, Missouri,
Hamburg and Washington, this excellent
couple had came from Massachusetts and
wandered in like manner through Ken
lucky. and Ohio and Mississippi into
Louisiana; if instead Of being minister
to Spain from Michigan, and Senator of
the United States from Missouri MIR.
Schurz had beld some petty post in the
parish of Caddo, or filled place in the
State House, Customhouse or Postoffice
then might Hon. Carl Schurz have been
denounced as ga carpet-bagger. He
might have been escorted under a safe
conduct by one party Of regulators and
shot by another more numerous or less
merciful. Then might this highly accom-
p)ished lady and devoted wife and mother
have been excluded from all the kindly
offices of life and been left to nurse the
sick and bury the dead without one sigh
OF sympathy or one solace of suffering.
Noble and charming lady, we honor you
in your unchanging devotion to duty and
your unwavering faith in the husband of
your love. But, lady, it is little for
tunate that you struck people who value
worth without regard to the place of its
origin or the stages at which it has rested
its WEAKNESS in the pilgrimage of duty.
You are heroine and an example. Had
your fortunes led you to Louisiana, and
your studies of ''the republican idea" led |
your husband to the support of the Re
publican ticket, you would have fallen
under the ban of society, and would have
been branded in its intolerant nomen-
clature as "carpet-bagger-ess."

ANONYMOUS BILLS,

Our remarks upon the improperly of
accepting bills drawn by attorneys for
account of outside interests receives APP
plication in the act to relieve delinquent
taxpayers. The Picayune remarks:
1t has occasionally happened that acts of
Legislature inspired by purely benevolent
| and patriotic motives, and calculated to
exert the most beneficial influences on the
public, tail in their operation through some
technical defect arising from carelessness
| or haste or neglect in the matter or manner
| OF their construction. Such instances are
especially lamentable. Where it is known
| that the good Of the people has been faith
| fully sought, and without such defect would
have been secured, TO lose the much desired
result through SO trivial slip seems hard
indeed.
And proceeds to quote the bill
and to comment on the fact that
though the body Of the bill refers
to the relief of overhowed taxpayers,
yet it contains section which ex-
extended the relief generally to all de-
linquent taxpayers. The bill RENTS all
penalties for non-payment of back taxes,
provided they shall be paid before De-
cember, 1875; then limits, by provision.
this relief to lands overfowed by the
flood Of 1874, and in another section saws
that upon payment Of the principal of the
amount of the tax itself on or before the
the first Of November, 1875, all penalties
thereon shall be RENTED on all taxes due
throughout the State. The act is simply
confusion and absurdity, but We can not
agree with the Picqyne:
Surely it can not be that mere techni- |
cality, provided any really exist, will be |
allowed to defeat the purpose of the Legis |
lature and withhold the relief of the tax. |
payers.
As the tree falls so it must lie. The
courts may interpret this act as they may
think proper, but it will be promulgated
as it was engrossed, signed and certified
from the office of the Secretary of State.
We have had perhaps enough of this
with mere ''technicalities" in
the late appropriation bill. The repre-
must be more careful and draw
