the close of said war, some five years. The
taxes on said city property, during the time
the same was occupied and used as before
| said by the United States forces, amounted to
| some nine thousand dollars or more, on tax
able valuation, which is about one-fourth OF
the selling value of the property.
This property would have rented at the
rate Of four thousand dollars net per year,
consisting of some forty lots. The aforesaid
learned court in the unwritten code OF Re-
publican practice, found that damage had
been done the owner to the amount, and that
the said owner had sustained a loss by the
occupancy of his said property by the United
States forces as aforesaid to the amount of
some three thousand dollars and some cents,
and to be exactly accurate, some mills, which
mill fractions could not be paid for want of
that kind of coin. Such is Republican JUS
hce at home.
This is bold, naked robbery. Soon it will
happen, if this Republican administration
continues, that robbery, fraud, corruption
and military domination will be the general
order OF the day. 1t is now covertly the pur-
pose and practice.

CARD FROM hon. B. F. JONAS.

The subjoined communication from Hon
B. Z. Jonas. City Attorney, speaks for itself
MIR. Jonas was, as all the world knows, elected
by the Council to the position which he Sc
ably fills and the Council was elected by the
people. It may, and will no doubt be urged
by factions persons that Mr. Jonas in con.
senting to accept the office to which he was
elected by Council, the members Of which
had received their certificates of election
from Kellogg, thereby indirectly recognized
the authority of Kellogg.
There is vast difference between such a
compulsory recognition Of the de tacto charac-
ter of the usurper and the voluntary action
contemplated in the compromise, which
would to all intents and purposes have been
just the very acquiescence in his usurpation
which Kellogg has longingly desired ever
since he was elevated against the expressed
will of the people by the bayonet.
The Legislature cannot be compelled to
accord such recognition to Kellogg and Hahn
as was contemplated in the so-called terms of
adjustment, and no Represen .ative or Sena-
to condone the crimes of Kellogg, or in other
words to grant him immunity for criminal
offenses. The statement that Mr.. Jonas had
accepted his certificate of election from Kel-
logg was clearly made under misconception
of the facts:
Editor Of the New Orleans Bulletin
When | saw statement in the Republican
-. Al l.
Kellogg on which the ink was hardly drv, |
treated it with the contempt with which |
usually regard the statements of that men
dacious journal; but when see that the state
ment has been repeated in the Democratic
caucus. deem it proper to say that the state
ment is false. and must have been known so to
be to the persons who made it, inasmuch as
l have just finished in the courts litigation
which resulted in a decision that was legally
elected City Attorney by the Council, and
that kellogg had no right to appoint at all
| was not before aware that the statements
Of the Republican were authority before
Democratic caucus.
Respectfully,

THE PRESIDENT IN TROUBLE.

Gen. Grant is still complaining of Congress-
and insisting that it shall invent some scheme
OF Legislation to get him out of his Southern
scrape without wounding his self-esteem
ibis intention OF no longer shouldering the
entire responsibility Of sustaining govern.
ments, of the legality of which there is SC
much dispute, is well known" So tele-
graphed our well-informed Washington cor
respondent the other day.
And now we find the President hauntino
the Capitol and urging his adherents to lose
no time IN making more laws for the South
| and relieving him from his unpleasant predi
cament. They are ready enough to extend
the enforcement laws and vote double appro-
priations tor the army but with regard to the
real difficulties Of the situation, like the pro-
blem OF Louisiana, they are quite as much
embarrassed as his Excellency and not at all
inclined to take any responsibility which
they can get rid of.
Gen. Grant need not try to obs ere this n a.
ter by fussing about the Senate corridors
There is no question that Congress has been
guilty OF gross neglect of duty in refusing to
act upon the Louisiana case, but the last man
IN the world to rebuke it for that is the Pres
ident OF the United States The only action
required OF Congress is a correction of the
wrong committed by the President. Congress
had no hand in the establishment of the Ke,-
logS usurpation in 1872; that was the work of
Cen Grant alone.
Congress had no hand in dispensing the
Legislature last month; that also was the
work OF Gen. Grant alone If he had con-
fined himself to his constitutional functions
Louisiana would have been at peace two years
ago under government of her own choice.
and the massacres and other crimes which
have marked her recent history would never
have been committed And no man knows
better than Gen. Grant himself that he has |
had it IN his power at any moment to correct |
his own blunders
The greatest fault of Congress in connec-
ton with this matter has been its cowardlv
to the Presidents dictation: and
if it is disposed now to repair its own and his
costly blunders, it may as well recognize the
important fact that it must give up the at
Tempt to save his reputation and his self
esteem. The disorder of the South lies RIGHT
It the surface, where everybody sees it ex
;ept the Federal Administration.
1t is not disloyaltv, it is OF turl 4 snce, it
$ not antipathy of races, it is Lot any diff
ulty in determining who has been elected: it
5 simply the lawless interference of the
Washington authorities with the concerns of
ne States. Stop that, and we shall have

A few days ago, says the San Francisco

grew plainly cynical with her reply, and. as
he turned to walk to the front of the car. he
