in that
OMNIBUS APPROPRIATION BILL
OF 1875, approved by Kellogg on April of that
year, and the same which was enioined in the
Superior District Court By the late Attorney
General Field, because immense forgeries had
been made in the bill after it's enrolment, and
because it was proven that certain leaves con-
tanning numerous appropriations amounting to
! few hundred thousand dollars,
HAD BEEN INSERTED
in the bill, and in that shape it was pronul-

The forgery was discovered and made public,
and another bill fixed up and promulgated.

been used by Kellogg in the same way, or placed
upon the market to find their way in time into the
State treasury, which Kellogg at the time could
have easily arranged for.
In the case of the Carey warrant, Kellogg prom
ised that it should be received by the Treasurer
when Carey made his settlement with the Auditor
and Treasurer, but in that he counted wi bout
his host, as it were, as his keen perception did
not penetrate quite SO far into the future as to
give him an idea OF what would and did trspspire

OF Louisiana desire him to represent them
