From the Peoris Transcript.

At the present time eleven Illinois rail
roads, with an aggregate mileage of over

The list is as follows.

THE NEW ORLEANS BULLETIN, FRIDAY, MAY 2S 1876

But we need not be afraid that our enemies
in power will have it all their own way with
the Centennial. There are sixty-fve or sew
enty thousand Democratic voters of the city
who will have their eyes and ears open. The
Radical schemers and plotters will be well
watched by the representatives of the Demo-
cratic journals of Pennsylvania and of all the
States. Our Democratic managers will not
try to compete with the knights of the Radi-
Zeal rings in wickedness, nor will they have
any stolen money to employ in the purchase
of votes; but if they are outdone in sagacity
or vigilance or patriotic energy, it will be
something very wonderful.
Little importance need be attached to the
oath which commissioners of States are re-
qu:red to take, or even to their character or
antecedents. Either the people of all the
States will participate in the celebration with
out invidious distinction or else the Demo-
cratic masses of Pennsylvania and the North
will squelch it as q mockery, a sacrilege and
q continental nuisance.

IRREGULARITIES OF THE AUDITING
BOARD,

The House of Representatives, as now con-
stituted. having no representation upon the
Board Of Audit, is not responsible for the
action of said Board in the approval of claims
against the State without authority of law,
and would not the Auditor, in wsrranting for
any such approved claim, render himself
liable to censure?
Admitting the legality Of the act creating
the Board of Audit, still, as at present con-
stituted and acting. it is really composed Of
but Ave members of the Senate, and in no
wise conforms to the act by which it was
created.
The act requires that the House OF Repre-
sentatives shall have q representation of seven
members on said board.
The seven members appointed by the
Speaker. recognized BY the House, and hav-
ing their credentials in due form. have
been, BY the Board, refused recognition.

its organization, and representing only
one branch of the General Assembly, any &C.
ton upon its part is certainly without force
and effect.
| IF rumor be true, vouchers of the most
irregular character, and aggregating large
amount, have been approved by this pre-
tended Board.
Its proceedings have been kept in manner
not calculated to allay suspicion. The public
have not been permitted to s:rutinize the
claims which have been approved, and are
thus prevented from pronouncing an opinion
upon their character.
In one instance extraordinary fees have
been allowed attorneys for defeating what is
termed the Bayou Bartholomew claim, pro-
nounced fraudulent by the Supreme Court Of
the State, while, at the same time, the fraud
ulent claim, $4,000 in amount, has been
allowed.
A claim for $173,0 900, equally preposterous,
and the original vouchers of which have been
destroyed, as is alleged, in the city of New
York, has also been allowed.
No wonder the Attorney General and the
Auditor became alarmed at the extraordinary
generosity Of this board, and refused longer to
participate in its proceedings.
What motive can influence Representatives
in so hurriedly consently to mulct the State
in an Indebtedness of $5O0,0O0, when the
claims presented are of such irregularity that
upon Carondelet street or with the money
brokers, they would not command ten cents
upon the dollar?
At time when thousands of worthy citi-
zens are without employment and piteously
asking subsistence, is it not passing strange
that, in the capital Of the State, Senators and
Representatives can be deaf to their appeals,
but in the generosity of their usselfsh natures
can create an Indebtedness of $500, 900 in the
settlement of claims, the bulk of which are
either imaginary or tainted with fraud?
Will such action upon the part of its repre-
sentatives be tolerated by the Republican
party of this State?
The Attorney General and the Auditor of
the State are cognizant of the facts and are
in sympathy with every movement to prevent
the Board of Audit from accomplishing its
purpose. Will not the courts lend their in
fuence for the protection of the State, until
such time as further legislation can afford
the requisite relief?

AsIATIO APPRECIATION OF MODERN
SCIENCE,

The Alaska steamer sailed from Shanghai
April II, and from Yokohama, Japan, Apri
26, arriving at San Francisco, May 18th.
Among the items of news brought by her was
this
"Li-hung Chang, Viceroy of the Chill
provinces, and the most powerful subject In
the empire, has petitioned the throne for the
introduction of Western studies in the
schools of China, and that candidates fol
public offices hereafter be examined in the
sciences as taught in foreign schools As the
Viceroy seriously urges these proposals, the
Picking government. will not venture to resist
the appeal"
There appears to be growing disposition
among the leading men in Asia, and especi.
ally in China and Japan, to avail themselves
of the benefits of Western applied sciences.
While jealousy and distrust for the people Of
Europe and America mark their disposition
and affect their institutions, traders and
travellers have for centuries been slowly prov
ing to them by the logic of facts that they
cannot afford to dispense with the labor.
saving, wealth producing discoveries and in.
ventions of this hemisphere.
Western science applied to mechanic arts
have produced miracles in machinery, by
which the working or productive capacity Of
men has been marvelously increased. With
machine not larger than tea chest, no,
costing more than hundred pounds of COM
mon tea, the tailor in Canton can do fifty
times more work than his father did. The
Chinese boatman now sees ships moved about
in harbors by great engines as nimbly as he
paddles his little shallop, or moving away
from the shore out over the green water to the
blue ocean many times faster than he has
ever seen vessels carried by the wind. The
machines invented by outside barbarians are
doing the work which once employed millions
of laborers, and the Celestials are beginning
to see that there is beyond their borders much
knowledge which they do not possess, and
which cannot be obtained otherwise than by
importation.
Reasoning from effect to cause "a process
not unknown to Celestial minds), they con-
clude that the scientific knowledge which has
blossomed and ripened into such valuable re-
suits is something essentially worth having.
However reluctant to pay the tribute of re-
spect to the external heather, as all other
nations are additionally and legally classed,
they want the seed from which has grown
such precious fruit. They want the machines
which science has given existence to and the
science itself They hope that the knowledge
Of the West. transplanted to the central
Flowery Kingdom, will thrive there and yield
rich harvests. Those who knock at the door
