An Ex-Tax collector, who IL supposed to
be Drowned, is indicted for Enbczz1e-
Hlent Of M:lA. coo AtRtc Funds.

A few days ago tho DEMOCRAT chron
icled the fact that an ex Tax Collector OF
Jefferson parish, A. X. Johnson, had
accidentally fallen overheard from the
Jackson street ferryboat and was
drowned. 1t has since been learned
that Mr.. johnson was sitting on hen
coop on the upper deck, the river being
considerably rough on the night in cues
ton, it is supposed that the hen
coop broke loose and went over with
Johnson, striking him on the head as he
was drowning!s
The Grand Jury yesterday returned q
true bill against the exTax Collector
for embezzlement OF State funds to the
extent of $4,000.
1t is to be hoped that a diligent search
will be made for the body, as there are
number OF people that believe the ex-
Tax Collector has not shuffied off this
mortal coil. A recovery of the body
would set the anxious hearts at rest.

LIVINGSTON PARISH.
Feeling Toward the Usurper Livingston
Certain for the Democracy.
L1vENasrON PARISH, Apri

LIVINGSTON PARISH, April 27.
Edfor 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
uslrper Is paying to this parish. A
short time since be removed three OF
the five Police Jurors elected at the
general election in 1874. The removed
members promptly sued out injunctions
restraining their would.be successors
from acting, whereupon Kellogg imme-
diately appointed three others in place
acting. His reason for removing the
three elected members was because
they had rendered themselves obnoxious
to certain individuals in this parish,
who had for many years been con
trolling our parochial affairs, regard
less of the interest of the people,
or the country, and who, seeing that the
people were at least represented in then
Police Jury by men who could not be
influenced by any rings or cliques, but
were working wholly for the interest oi
their parish, concluded to make an ef-
fort to regain the power they once held
and the usurper, no doubt, thinking he
would gain the influence of these par
ties, gratified their wishes ] wonder II
while doing 50, 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 U.S.
and that it will be the means of electing
our district and parish ticket by such
majority that it will be impossible FOL
his Returning Board. as skillful as they
are, to count us out p Such will
surely he 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 oul
people to greater degree than evsl
against his party; and, unless | am
much mistaken in the temper of my
people, he will hear from us, in tones
not to be misunderstood, saying that
none bit officers of their O,cn choosing
shall serue them, and that he must cease
this almost daily change OF officers Of
they will meet with the vengeance OF Oh
outraged people. PINE Top.

HarrOdsburg Observer and Re-
porter: The people Of Kentucky
have too much of the old fOgy. They
are not alive to the necessities of
transportation facilities, of putting
our capital in home manufactures.
1t requires perfect crusade to in
duce Kentucky capitalists to invest
in the most necessary public i'm
provements, such as railroad; and
to induce one to go into greater
manufacturing project than mill,
would require spiritual aid. Until
this old fogyism goes out, there will
be no inducement to offer emigrants.
