LIVINGSTON PARISH. April 27
Eiitor Democrat Believing that few
lines from this portion Of our down
trodden State would not be wholly un-
acceptable, | will undertake to give you
some idea Of the attention that the
usurper Is paying to this parish. A
short time since he removed three of
the five Police Jurors elected at the
general election in 1871 The removed
members promptly sued out inuDctious
restraining their would be Successors
From acting. whereupou Kellogg imme-
diately appointed three others in place
Of the ones who had been enioinod from
acting. His reason for removing the
three elected members was because
they had rendered themselves obnoxious

who had for many years been con
trolling our parochial affairs, regard
less Of the interest of the people.
or tho country, and who, seeing that the
people were at least represented in their
Police Jury by men who could not be
influenced by any rings or Cliqucs, but
were working wholly for the interest Of
their parish, concluded to make an eff
fort to regain the power they once held,
and the usurper, no doubt, thinking he
would gain the influence of these par
ties, gratiiied their wishes. / wonder if
while doing so, he had any knowledge
OF the fact that. one can travel from one
extreme to the other Of our large parish
without finding one man that will ac-
knowledge himself to be friend to
these parties? / wonder il he knew that
their influence in his party's
favor would be Of great bene-
fit, not to him, but to us.
and that it will be the means of electing
our district and parish ticket by such
q majority that It will be impossible for
his Returning Board. as skillful as they
are, to count US out Z" Such will
surely be the case. We intend to, and
uiH elect our ticket, both parish and dis
trict, by an overwhelming majority.
This last act Of Kellogg in removing
our elected officers (all Of whom are
good and true mem has incensed our
people to q greater degree than ever
against his party; and, unless ] am
much mistaken in the temper Of my
people. he will hear from us, in tones

REMARKS or

PROvEMENTs,
To the CITY council. on the subject Of the
Lease Of the Wharye~.

The importance OF your action upon
| the propositions for Lease Of the
Wharves " must be my only excuse for
again seeking to place before the Coun
Gil the views that have heretofore in
duced me to oppose the ordinance, and
that now Indicate the propriety Of sub
mitting information that should, in my
opinion, have been sought for before
acting upon go grave o matter.
| The arguments used in favor OF the
| lease are
First That experience has proven
that city work can be performed under
the supervision of private contractors
cheaper and more thoroughly than ny
by the people.
Second - That the history Of the
wharves since 1852 shows decided loss
under city management, and n large
profit during the period they were
leased.
To the first argument. ! beg to say
that an examination of the records of
the city government do not bear out the
assertion The proceedings OF the City
Council. reports Of committees and city
surveyor OF every administration under
which the contract system has prevailed.

the system il repeatedly criticised.
The interest Of the contractor ever lies
in avoiding the requirements OF his con
tract thus decreasing his expenses and
increasing his profits
The true remedy seems to be in the
selection Of faithful, energetic officers
Let us glance at the second argument
which is based upon the statements
said to represent the receipts and ex-
penditures for several years past.

they have made an examination Of the

extensive repairs. and report the follow
ing resolution That the Surveyor be
and he Is hereby authorized to nd
vertise fifteen days In the official jour
nal, that he will receive sealed propo-
sails for furnishing to the city timber
and lumber for the repairs Of the
wharves said timber and lumber to be
furnished according to specifications on

Adopted.
Thus we find that upon the termiDa-
ton Of both the leases, the wharves are
left utterly unfit for the purposes Of
commerce.
The following is an approximate es-
innate OF the collections and expenses
from June /, 1861, the actual terminH-
tion of the second lease to December
81, 1865, showing an excess OF expcndi-
ture over receipts of $194, AGO 81.
1t should be borne in mind, however.
that these heavy expenses followed i'm
upon the termination OF the
second lease, and was apparently rem
dered necessary by the condition in
which the lessees left the wharves,

7 cannot account for these enormous
expenditures, even admitting that after
the termination of the war all the
wharves had to be rebuilt and remodel
ed, and doubtless vast quantities OF
batture had to be filled, graded and
shelled, and with labor high, and lum-
ber purchased at $50 per thousand in
1866.
L believe, during this period, there
was interference by the military au
thorities with the municipal govern
ment, and that abrupt changes were
made.

In nay opinion, the people expect at
your hands a careful scrutiny Of the
existing obligations of the city, in order
that they may judge Of the equitable as
we'll as the legal liability to the holders
OF obligations that represent the errors
Of the past. This Council should be
slow to place the seal of its approval
upon obligations that were either issued
in fraud, or without due consideration
having been given.

community, jealous OF its fair name

the people groan under the burden, and,
as The holders Of its bonds and obliga-

seize upon the assets OF the city, it is
ii ne that the facts connected with these
issues should be placed before the
people and the world. When bond
holders and citizens know these facts, |
have no doubt that the citizens Of New
Orleans will act toward her creditors in
such manner as will be consistent with
their honor and equitable to those whom
she may owe. | deem it inadvisable to

believe that this administration
should be ambitious to win the

The enormous expenditures of the past

of this city an additional burden Of

yet this debt but represents the excess
after extraordinary taxation has been
