ELECTION OF STUDENTS OF CHARITY
HOSPITAL.

The election of resident students of the
Charity Hospital is to take place at the regu-
lar meeting of the Board of Administrator,
on Monday, Sd proximo.
For the information of applicants we pub
fish the list of officers who hold the power of
appointment:
Gov. VIM. P. Kellogg, President ex-oficio 81.
Bonzano, Vice President; DR.. P. G. Boyer DR..
q. B. White; Hon. T. G.. Anderson David C.
McCan Paul Bonseigneur G. Casanave DR..
Andrew W. Smyth, House Surgeon.
The advantage of being a resident student
at the hospital, in professional point of
view, as school of training for young
aspirants in the medical profession, is not
surpassed by any institution in the country.
We learn there will be only six or eight APP
pointments this year. Resident students
serve two years, and receive board and lodg-
ing free of charge.

OARROLLTON WANTS NO NEW DIS
TRIOr COURT.

The people Of the parish of Orleans have
never, at any time, asked the General Assem-
bly, to chip off two large municipal districts
and attach them to the judicial District here
tofore composed Of the parishes Of Plaque.
mines and st. Bernard. Carrollton was
attached to New Orleans in spite Of the gen.
eral disgust Of the inhabitants Of both. Il
was . legislative decree, and the people
obeyed it. Yet the fiat was accepted with the
general understanding, and certainly the very
rational and very obvious conclusion that the
newly acquired parochial territory should
come in with equal rights. It was supposed
naturally that. when Carrollton became part
of the parish of Orleans, it would necessarily
be conformed to the Judicial and parochial
system of our parish. In fact, it was one OF
the arguments used in favor Of the new con-
solidation, that the costs of a separate city
government and . separate system of courts
would be thereby avoided. When Car
rollton was annexed to the city, it was
equally annexed to our parish, and its people
and property became subject to the
jurisdiction of our established parish courts.
The change saved them much trouble and
much expense. The administration Of civil
and criminal justice became thereby much
more methodical and really much less expen
sive. There were many objections to annexa-
ton from the citizens Of Carrollton, and there
were great many more objections from the
citizens Of New Orleans; but after little
grumbling and little useless remonstrance.
the decree Of the Radical Legislature Of 1873
was obeyed.
The General Assembly proclaimed that New
Orleans should take. harbor, cherish and re-
ceivs Carrollton "for better or for worse"
the espousals were contaminated formally
and honestly. but not joyously, by Mayor Witt
and his Council, and ever since the somewhat
unwilling pair have lived together, it may be
without happiness, but certainly without q
disturbance OF the pease and without scandal.
The people Of the Sixth and Seventh NUM-
cipal Districts have never yet asked to be at
tached to the Judicial District, heretofore
composed Of the parishes Of Piaquemines and
st. Bernard In all that section Of the city
there are not probably fifty voting citizens
Who are in favor of such change, and forty
Eve of these are the personal friends Of GER
tain officials or barristers who are personally
interested in having semi-Annual sitting Of
Q special court in and for that part of the
city.
The bill making the change has the sane
don Of one Of the Representatives from that
section Of the parish Of Orleans. but yet We
are fully satisfied that in prJ6uring il hasty

PENSACOLA, March Z, 1876

PENSACOLA, March z, 1876.
To the Editor of the N. o. Bulletin:
Dear Sir-As stated in my telegram, the
Pensacola and Louisville Railroad was sold
yesterday under an execution. when Mr.. j. w.
Black, Of New Orleans, who has identified
himself in other business with this commu-
nifty, was the purchaser.
Our citizens rejoice at this happy relief
from dependence for railroad Communication
with the outside world on parties who had no
interest in common with u.s. and whose only
aim in running the road must have been per-
sonal profit and certainly not the welfare of
Pensacola.
The P. and L. r. R. extends from this point
to Whiting, or what is known as Pensacola
Junction in Alabama, on the line of the NJ.
and NJ. R. R., distance of (44) forty -four
miles, and the ultimate intention is to cross
that road, and by connecting link through
Selma, Alabama, to reach Louisville and other
Western cities by direct line.
We have had lots of talk on this subject in
the past, but very little work; but now under
the new regime, with the capital, influence,
and business ability of the purchaser brought
to bear, as we know it will be, we have every
hope Of bright future.
Yours truly.
G. L. LEBARoN.

passage he did not act in obedience to the
wishes Of his constituents. We have no hest.
tation ct al in saying that the people Of Car
rollton do not wish to be included in the
Second Judicial District They have ex.
pressed no such desire by vote, memorial Of
petition. They have no desire to be cut on
judicially from the parish to which they have
been annexed.
The bill makes a strange tumble Of juris-
diction. The Jury Commissioners Of the
parish of Orleans are to. select grand and
petit jurors for this new court, which has
both civil and criminal jurisdiction, but with
out cognizance of probate cases. The strange
feature is presented Of dividing q parish in
order to change the boundaries Of judicial
district, measure without precedent and
without constitutional authority. As We have
heretofore suggested, "serious questions of
conflicting authority" may be expected to
grow out Of this bill if it has the approval of
the Governor
If the bill becomes law there is no ready
way to determine who is to be the sheriff, or
who the clerk, or who the district attorney,
for the new court
The question is one of absorbing interest
in the upper part Of the city, and expressions
of current opinion show clearly that the bill
must be classed as legislative blunder.

and branches in every county, parish, city,
town and village. They can command an
enormous fund, the fruit Of malfeasance and
fraud, with which they hope to buy their way
into Office again.
The spirit Of Reform will find in the spirit
of Corruption foe as formidable as st.
George found in the Dragon, equally piano.
piled with thick scales, equally breathing
flames Of fire, the scales of impudence and
the fire of malice.
The contest is to be pitched battle be-
tween honesty, decency and patriotism
against corruption and villainy. Honest
and decent patriots are in a very large
majority, but that is not enough; they must
act in concert and vote en- rsdsse for honest
men.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS BROTHER.

OrVlllo dIanC, the PRESIDENTS DIOtner, Ce6-
titles that he had no authority or contract
from Belknap in relation to post tradershps.
If the inquiry had ended here Orville might
have been dismissed with as much honor as a
brother Of the President might expect to re-
ceive at the hands of the public But Orvilles
relations with Bslknap were not the interest
ing point of the investigation. In fact, the
necessities Of the Secretary of War as poll
tician, Q statesman. and leader Of society
were too great to permit him to tolerate a
partner in the person of brother Of the Pres
ident. Such q partner would make demands
upon the common fund which would leave
very attenuated residuum for division
among his confederates.
What Orville wanted was something worthy
Of his attention and acceptance as q member
of the Imperial family. This he appears to
have discovered in the Indian Bureau. As
far as the inquiry has gone, it has come out
that Orville is partner in the Indian trader.
ship at Sanding Rock. From this source he
has drawn sl100. He is also partner in the
Indian store at Fort Peck, from which he has
drawn $1,000 from his partner, Mr.. Layton
also $1,000 from Mr.. Raymond, at Fort Beau
fort. It does not appear to Orville that it
was necessary for him to put any money into
these concerns. The capital, he testifes, is
furnished by the honest partners. To Or
vile the Indian Bureau is purse of For
tunio, from which she draws out as much
money as he wants, without ever having put
any money in.
It also appears that he made application for
the posts which he controls in consequence
Of direct information furnished by his
brother. the President. He rather scouts the
idea that he could be so silly as to ask for
place without knowing in advance that he
could get II, and he does not seem to regard
it rs at all contrary to public morals that he
should enter into an arrangement with his
brother, the President by which, in conse-
quence of secret information from the Presi-
dent himself he was to apply for and obtain
control Of Indian stores, with the purpose Of
selling the control thus acquired, to the hon.
est and industrious traders who were to put
in the money and conduct the business.
In other words, and not to put too fine point
on it, he was enabled by his relationship to
the President, and by private notifications re-
ceived from the President, to levy black-mail
on the Indian store-keepers, and through these
on the Indians, who were thus compelled to
pay double prices for the goods which they
consumed.
Is even the turpitude of Belknap more fla
gitiously indecent than such conduct as this

ident of the United States

The communication by Gov. Kellogg Of the
sentence of the murderer. Alex. Newton, to

STOP THIEF.

The platform Of the opponents Of the Rsdi-
cal dynasty may now be presented with .
brevity which Spartan would have approved.
It need comprise no long resolutions, no
whereases, no therefores, no recitals Of public
wrongs, no extended record of malfeasance,
no appeals to patriotism, no admonitions as to
the preservation Of political rights. All that
is essential may be condensed into the head
line of crossroads hand.bill, thus:
STOP THIEF!
For the next eight months the supreme
business and care of the people Of the North
American Republic must be to put stop to
official corruption, to expel wicked men from
office. and to purify the public service in all
its branches Radical stealing and swindling
have gone to such extent as to become q ma
tional reproach. 1t is beginning to be said
in Europe that the Yankee experiment of re-
publican government is about to prove itself
q failure for want Of suff ,ient honesty among
officials to secure the performance Of the
strictly necessary public. Travellers from our
States find it uncomfortable to listen to the
comments of intelligent foreigners upon
American affairs, and they cease to find
pleasure in announcing the mama Of their
native land.
The disgrace has gone too far. The odor
of it pervades the continent. Every honest
citizen bushes to feel that he has been so
long governed by combinations of knaves
and rings of rascals. Ofice-holders have
led astray thousands of young men who
would have remained honorable but for evil
example. Public swindlers have infused into
the entire civil service q tinge and smack of
fraud. SO that offices are locked upon by
armies Of aspirants solely with the greedy
purpose of making money out Of them by
indirect and illegitimate methods wholly un-
known in purer and better days.
We are . thief.sidden people, and the great
work Of the campaign upon which We are en-
