WHAT Is THOUGHT uF ulM-
The announcement of the selection Of Judge
Bangs for District~Attorney was announced to
several Of the Government officials for the first
time with their yesterday mornings coffee, aud,
having diges:ed the news on their way down.
they we're able to offer some opinions On tho
wisdom Of the SELECTION.
MARSHAL CAMPBELL
Was found By q TRIBUNE reporter in tho After
noon, and, in reply to inquiries as to tho new
Dlstrict-Astorney. replied that he dld not know
him very we'll but that what knowledge be did
possess WAS In the gentleman's favor.
Il. ~. H1BDARD,
Register in Bankruptcy, had known the nev Dir
tsict-Attorney for fifteen years or smore as
lawye: Of high standing in the 6tata. lie was
perieuce in the courts OF his section. Mr. Hib-
bard had met him frequently ut his
home aud IN Springfield during she sessions OF
tho Legislature. He had been Judge, but dr.
Hubbard did not think be had ever been Prose-
cutting Attorney. ue thought The appointment
Was Que which would do the Administration and
the district no dlscredit.
JUDGE GRANT,
Of Morris, Grundy County, Register in Bank-
rupscy for his district, was standing near while
the latter gentleman said, Why, hero is Judge
Glaat. He vii! tell you all about Bangs."
and the Judge told. He said he had known him
- lawyer OF very high reputation for several
years. Mr. Bangs had been Judge OF the Put
nam County Circuit Court, and had long aud
varied experience in the legal profession. He
was perfectly competent, said the Judge to fill
tho profession to which be had been called, and
it mas An honor Of which lie 7as in every way de-
serving.
EI-ATIOENET WARD
was caught in the Office during the afternoon.
and in reply to the usual questions. said that he
could not boaas Of much acquaintance with
Judge Bangs, but had heard Of him ns an actlEe
and hard-worklns lawyer Of high character.
GEN. wEBSTEE,
who. Il Collector Of the Revenue. is supposed to
have as much interest as any ono in the selec-
tion. said that he didn't Kpow Judge Bangs per-
soDalty, bus had heard much about him OF late
and all to his credit. He WAS prepared to be-
Ieva that he would make good officer.
ASSUMING TIE DUTIES.
Tho natural question after the appointee had
been fixed upon was rs to when he woud appear
and enter upon mis- duties. From all iuforma-
tion to be obtained yesterday. it appears that
judge Bangs may not arrive bore for several
days. especially il he fnds it necessary or ad-
v1sab1e to proceed to Washington before he en-
ters upon his duties. II he does not 60 there.
he will be likely to come into Ills succession dur
ing t1e first half OF this week.

Boss Kelly, in denouncing some polit-

Is there fraud or any job connected with
the city where that gentleman could get his
hand in, but what he did get it in, to his Pc

When We hear Of a gentleman" who
gets his hand into every accessible job and
fraud, we are as much perplexed as was
the Georgia legislator from Cherokee, of
whom we shall tell ..,+..
A rural Representative from the Geor-
gia frontier had "little bill" pending.
With an unlucky trust in legislative
matters he voted for a great many other
little bills, with the innocent expectation
that the patrons of these little bills would
return the Kindness. As vote after vote of
these patrons was cast against his propo-
sitions, the shock to his good faith utterly
overcame his sense of legislative pro-
priety, and he exclaimed: "Gentlemen!-
if you call yourselves gentlemen-what
sort of Cd d-n gentlemen are youg'
Echo would at this day answer that they
were the gentlemen Of Tammany Hall.

THE LOUISIANA LEvEE COMPANY,

The statement of President Henderson
on behalf of the Levee Company is a
timely and straightforward exhibit of the
existing relations between that corpora
ton and the State. Whatever may have
been the faults or the immoralities which
attended the origin of the company, it is
very certain that its management has since
fallen into the hands of man who are will
ing to conduct it upon fair and equitable
principles. An idea prevails among some
hopelessly ignorant people that it is a
huge monopoly, with nothing to do but
stand at the door of the treasury and take
all the collections for account of the levee
tax, without going to any expense what
ever. This error ought to be dissipated
by the simple statement Of President
Henderson: "We have built 5,617, $50
cubic yards of levees in all" for which
the company was entitled TO receive
50, 266, 347. The entire amount received
from the State has been only $1,754, 200,
leaving deficit of q million and half.
In the meantime, the State Engineers have
been much more vigilant than the tax col
lectors. They have, under the law, and
from the necessities Of the case exActed
continuous heavy work, much more. as
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-11-14

the sequel proves, than the State can pay
for. So onerous are the duties of the
Levee Company that they have been ready
at any time within the past year to get
we'll out of it. The stock can not be sold
for more than one-third of it's paid up
cost and there has never been the slight
est prospect Of dividend.
We have, moreover, the official declara-
ton that the company is perfectly willing
to surrender its franchises and turn over
the whole levee system to the United
States, the State or any one else, perhaps
upon being paid the balance of their little
bill, which is certainly fair. Here is q
chance to obtain this great franchise on
reasonable terms. Let those who think
''there is millions in it" come forward
with the cash or good security and be-
come the owner of one of the most stu
pendous elephants this menagerie has
ever had. 1t is a question that has formed
bone of contention for many years. Be-
fore the civil war the riparian and back
proprietors were always at loggerheads
about the levee tax. When the Confeder-
ates received Grants parole and came
back here to stake hold of things" they
issued loan of $4,000, 900, which sold
in New York and elsewhere down as low
as thirty; subsequently another issue of
bonds was authorized, which was mainly
distributed to individual contractors
There was precious little digging done
under the first named loan, and not
enough under the second. The levees
were low, and danger of overflow immi-
nent. The proposal to give all this work
out by contract and levy a special tax to
pay for it. was received with sigh of re-
lief all over the State. Had those who
were associated together at that time been
men of capital and character determined
to deal justly, like the present members
of the company, the enterprise might
have been successful and profitable. But
the leading idea of the majority was that
they had come into possession of valua-
BILE franchise, and were anxious to realize
as soon as possible. They had done no
work, drawn no money, and had none of
their own to do anything with.
A profit of twenty cents on cash out
lay, payable in State warrants, can not be
deemed exorbitant by the most rigid bust
ness man who has had any experience
with the manner in which the public cred
itors are paid, and we are not at all sur
prised that President Henderson is ready
to quit as soon as he can be made even.
We hope some arrangement can be made
which will eventually place the whole
levee system under the powerful protec-
ton of the federal government, having
due regard to the rights of those who
have already advanced more than mil
lion of dollars on the public credit.

hand. There is one trifling difficulty in
the way. The American people will make
their own issues. They will be positive
and progressive. They ,DiH demand
financial policy on the basis of President
Grants veto of imitation. They ,ral insist
that Spain shall make peace with her
Cuban insurgents, or they will authorize
privateers to sink the Spanish transports
with supplies and reinforcements for the
despotic and sIaveholding party in Cuba.
They l'iU organize better and more re-
ciprocal foreign trade, and they ,cM reform
and crush all rings in State, municipal and
federal governments. "How to win" the
little game is failure and mistake. 1t
presumes that the American people will
allow one party to deal winning cards to
one hand and losing to another. The
American people have so much experience
and SO much suspicion that when neutral
party comes forward with professions of
superior fairness and proposes to deal
both hands, the people watch the neutral
party very closely lest lie ''ring in cold
deck" upon them. The people will not
play q put-up hand. If, therefore, the
neutrals have no other way ''to win than
the played out and exploded tricks, which,
if offered upon any boat of the NIissis.
sippi, would insure the trickster land
ing on shore or in the water, We should ad-
wise them to remain silent. There is no
neutral contest approaching. The game
will be won by the integrity, ability and
progress of the one or the other party.
At present the Republicans are sitting be-
hind two little pair-of aces-while the
Democracy, with Boss Tweed, confronts
them behind Jail windows" this being,
we believe, the sportsman's tern. for two
black tens. We regret to display knowl-
edge so intimate of the professional
phrases Of the gamesters, but when our
friends are to be beat on put-up hand we
resort to practical terms to convince them
that it does not solve the problem How
