The Governor yesterday issued commissions
to the following parties, elected the 5th inst,
in an election he'd III the town OF Linden, Web
ster parish, for town officers:
Thomas NJ. Fort, Mayor; Vim. Hardy, Treas

It is singular, in large city like this, that the
authorities have not provided our street lamps
with signs, SO that a stranger might be able to
tell at least approximately his swherea bouts I.
Since the great changes made in the lamps there
are but few of the old signs remaining, and it
has become almost necessity that the streets
should be indicated in some manner.
The Supplemental Fuodiog Bill.
The Governor is still considering that tSupple-
mental Funding Bill, but there il a probability
that he will sign it in few days.
When he signs it, if he does, the Attorney Gene
raj will be instructed to Immediately proceed, at
the expense of the State, to test the legality of
the condemned bonds aud to push the cases
through as rapidly as possible, so that holders Of
evidences Of indebtedness decided to be legal will
suffer no more from delay in the funding of them
than is actually necessary.
All cases brought under this will take prece-
dence in all State courts, and can be fixed on
motion of either party interested to the ex-
cluson of all others. 1t will be seen that it rests
with counsel representing parties holding bonds
condemned by the bill as to when their legality
shall be passed npon and decided.
1t is reported that there is ring anxiously
awaiting the signing of this bill, and, in fact,
urging its PRONUNCIATION, whose agents are mis-
representing the purposes and intents of the
bill, with the view of raising doubts as regards
the contract between the State and bond-holders
in the original Funding bill, among holders, and
particularly foreign holders, of the classes OF
bonds and warrants condemned, in the hopes
hat under this doubt OF the good faith of the
State these holders will be induced to sell at the
price which the ring proposes to give.
The credit of the State will be damaged if the
ring succeeds, but the ring will make money.
The Governor states that this is one Of the
reasons why he has delayed signing the bill.
Holders Of bonds should test their legality
and particularly holders OF bonds for which the
ring makes offers. The question of their legal
ity once decided, their value will be increased
and the increase in value will no doubt pay fol
| the delay in the courts.

place to loaf, those individuals who daily crowG
