Editors Dispatch: Having recently re.
ceiyed number of letters from sheritfs and
others in reference to the effect OF the law on
page 4e4, Acts of 1874, I beg, through your
kindness, to publish to all interested that 1t
does not repeal section SO of chapter $50 OF
the Code of 1873, which Is more comprehend
sive, and accompiishes all the objects of sec.
ton 90 OF chapter 49 OF said Code, which lat
ter section was repealed by the law OF 1874
named.
An investigation will show that these two
sections respectively result from amendment
of section 80 of chapter 1874 Of Code of1660 a5d
section A of chapter 49 Of Code of 1850; and
the repeal Of one does not In any way In.
volve the repeal Of the other, although they
are nearly identical. The said section 80 OF
chapter $50 of Code of 1873 relates to clerks,
sheriffs, and sergeants, while section 90,
named above, refers to sherffs and sergeants
only. County and corporation judges gene
rally throughout the State have continued TO
make the usual annual allowances 10 these off,
GERS since the passage Of tbedaw In question
of 1874. 1t was clearly the intention of the
General Assembly that they should do 80,
aud section 80, alluded TO, was repealed be-
cause 1t was unnecessary. .. ..-e

The Louisiana G ase.

The telegrams show that the a OAR sub.
committee Is endeavoring to settle the Louis.
lana trouble by compromise that will give
the House to the Democrats, the Senate to
the Radicals, and keep KELLOGG In Office
KELLOGG to make sundry changes in the
subaltern offices. We look upon this effort
as designed to get the Radical party out of
trouble. 1t displays a decided fear that
things, remaining as they are viii be detri.
mental 10 the Radicals. .,..... ,.....,..
We do not suppose that the Conservatives
will accept any such compromise. Mr. FoB-
TsR's subcommittee report showed that
KELLOGG had no more right to be Governor
OF Louisiana than FRED. DOUGLASS has. To
make compromise which retains him. 10
power would be sacrifice of right, and o
reflection upon the facts brought out In The
committees report, for which there could be
no earthly apology. The Conservatives
would be parties to their own disgrace.
Louisiana would make sacrifice in even
consenting to new election. TO give up
more than that would involve would be to
incur the general censure of fair men In
other States. s,.~. .--s..

Whtskey and Taxes.

Somebody wants to know how one mans
drinks can be made to pay another mans
taxes. I will tell you what some light
headed people propose-nameiy, that when-
ever a fellow takes drink he shall drop
one cent into the public treasury and they
saw that this plan would pay taxes that might
otherwise have to be laid on those who do
mot drink. Now, that depends on whether
the good people, who don't drink, mean to
pay taxes for anything.
Anyhow, notice that there are TIVE sorts
of people who are opposed to this plan
nrst, those who drink; and second, those
who do not drink. The first don't want to
pay the second are willing to pay hand.

This recital OF "reminiscences that must IN

Mr.. EpxoND we have thought due TO them
and him. They come down to very near tne
time when he discontinued his life Of staging,
railroads having superseded staging, and
thus put an end to 8 phase Of life In this
country that had powerful eossrol over the
dispositions and, we believe, the moral
character of society. 1t was an end to kind
of chiyalry and social life that inspired the
mind with energy and intrepidity. 1t did
society q great deal of good. Farewell, brave

In closing this hurried paper we feel It
but due to bis memory that we should say
that ROBERT EDMOND was one Of the truest
aud bravest men We have ever known. For
good faith to friend, and for standing by
him In all vicissitudes with fidelity that
never tagged, he had no superior. True to
all his obligations, and never failing in the
performance of duty, be was devoted
Christian, and performed acts Of charity
which the world did not know but which
will cause him to be held In grateful recol-
lection by many people. He went away on

leaving behind him aspotless memory.
