The exhibit made by the central
council Of the prOperly-holders' union
Of Louisiana, is the stror gsst argument
against Repuslicanism yet offered to the
public. Reviewing the different items
Of what purporis so be the State debt, it
specifies each act which authorized the
issue o. bonds OF other evidences Of
debt. 1t shows that the different legis-
Ia,ures have voted, mainly to private
individuals, bonds which aggregate in
principal and interest for the whole time
they have TO run, more tran the entire
value Of the taxable property of Lou
sisna. In addition to which it also
asserts that If city and parish bonds
donated IL like manner be added, The
aggregate Will be nearly double the
value Of the taxable property in the
State. The total debt authorized by
LEGISLATION, according TO this re-
port, reaches SIS, 52S, $50; but deduct
ing $4,000. 900, the estimated amount
of miscellaneous debts of al sorts
regarding which no satisfactory infor-
nation can be bal, and various bonds
of different classes which we're author
lied but never issued, there still remain
liabilities to the amount Of O,3l2 $50,
exclusive OF interest, which were actu-
ally incurred and remain unpaid. or
this debt 50, 134 coo was issued for levee
purposes, $2l 900 600 Of State debt be-
ing also created ! the form of levee
company, which has not yet done any
hing worthy the name Of levee, Cen
eral Jef Thompson having made re-
port few days ago that the State was
yet at the mercy Of the father Of waters
In addition 70 this fraud there is that OF
the vicksburg, Shreveport aud Texas
railroad company, yet unfinished, and
Tor which many hundreds OF thou
sands of bonds were issued;
also the New Orleans, Mobile and Chat
tanoogs railroad company, TO which
bonds amounting to four million dollars,
bearing eight per cent. interest and run
ming for forty years, were issued, thus
binding the Taxpayers to pay altogeth-
eT, in principal and interest, the sum Of
sixteen million eight hundred thousand
dollars, the company having agreed to
build 8 road to Houston, Texas. No rOsd
has been built further than Donaldson
Vile, eighty-two miles above New Or
leans, and that has been sold under q
inst mortgage, the State having received
neither value nor security for its adj
vances. And yet, in the face Of these
fscis, Republicans are asking for the
confidence OF the people and the election
for third term Of General Grant.

In q speech recently made ct Paris,
Major w. J, Sykes gave several re-
narkable instances Of towns in Tennes-
see that had improved considerably
sincs the year 1873, even during the
"hard times" Among Others, he gave
Jackson and Paris as illustrations Of
what 3 spirit of enterprise would sc
complisb. He said: jackson wss q
model Of enterprise. In addition to her
railroad subscriptions, which had been
liberal, she had given sixty thousand
dollars to &c. the workshops Of the New
Orleans road. The effects Of the liberal
policy you all know. But il you want to
see the effects Of railroad subscription
look ct the west side Of your public
square. The vote Of Paris to the Cairo
and Tennessee river railroad was taken
in September, 1878; and since then, in
the midst Of hard times the finest
block OF buildings i'll Paris had been
erected, in fact, buildings worth more
than all the other buildings on the
square which they had been forty gears
in erecting. All of ttese buiIiings he
believed, were occupied, and the wealth
of Paris hal been increased twice IS
much IS the amount of her subscription.
When there was no public spirit, 10
imp ovements were being made, and
there was no increase of waalth."
