LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
4 Trick to pcrpetuatc the salary "i 81"
busted Judge.
IBaton Rouge Advocated

Ii,aton Rouge Advocated
"Hon. George T.. Davis. Parish Judge
Of East Baton Rouge, has been granted
ninety DAYS leave OF absence.
We copy the above announcement
from the official journal Of the 18th inst.
BY what authority or question OF right
does the little bullet-head yclept An
tome. who yields the sceptre in the ab-
sence Of his master, grant leave OF an
sence to an ex-oflicer who is, and has
been for the past four months. Jnnctus
obicio by virtue Of an absolute resigDa-
ton? Is il for the purpose OF giving
the ex-.udge an opportunity to visit
the Centennial with his dusky mate
whom he stole from poor Stevens under
cover of judicial decree from his own
court? We submit that the man Davis
had q right to 90 off at his pleasure
without an official send-otf from An
tome. Davis has been absent from tho
parish nearly three months, and it Is
proposed to cure any defect that might
occur i'm the drawing Of his salary, Dy
giving him leave OF absence so tar
as the people of this parish are con
cerned ne has had 'leave ofabsence' for
four months with the chances in favor
OF a perpetual extension. Meanwhile,
the business of the court Is suspended.
and prisoners are languishing in Jail for
want of a court with jurisdiction to hold
preliminary examination or fix bond ,
an at the expense OF the parish. All this
to give Davis the salary Of an office that
an outraged community decreed he
should no longer disgrace. Here Is one
OF the beauties Of Radical misrule IN
Louisiana. Should not the Radical par
ty be perpetlated for all time with such
shining lights, and exemplary officials
as Kellogg, Antoine and Davis? Let
the people answer in thundertones next

BILL.
G. "a. Raum, OF Ill, for com'r, of Int. Rev

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The president
has nominated Green B, Raum, of Illinois,
for commissioner OF internal revenue, vice
Pratt resigned.
Republican senators held long caucus
this morning on the subject of the appro-
priation bills. No formal action was
taken, but from the present tenor of
opinions interchanged by large number
of those in attendance it seems probable
that the river and harbor appropriation
bill will be dropped or rejected by the sen,
ate, and that an agreement will be reached
concerning the other bills during the pres
ent week.
