AID FOR THE CHARITY HOSPITAL.
The New Board Go for $50, 900.
Injunction Issued.

It seems there will be at last some re-
lief for the Charity Hospital. Gov.
Nichols, as er oticio President of the
new Board of Administrators, Thurs
day morning filed an Intervention in
the suit of Allen Jumel VS.. State Ma
tional Bank, on behalf of the Charity
Hospital, claiming the sum Of $4,000
deposited there as one installment OF
the Lottery Company annuity.
The board also applied for writ OF in
junction against JOS. FL. Oglesby, Presi..
dent of the Louisiana State National
Bank, enjoining him from paying over
another $10,OO0-the January install
ment from the Lottery Company. The
writ was issued, and is in the hands OF
the sheriff.
These twenty thousand dollars will be
O. boon to the Charity Hospital just now,
as It's treasury is very low and its sup
plies spaut.

st. Charles Avenue.

One OF the finest thoroughfares in our
city is st. Charles avenue. The city adj
ministration is now making strenuous
efforts to put it in perfect order from
the New Orleans starting place TO Car
rollton, and the property holders all
along the route are subscribing literally
towards the wished for consummation.
We hear that the Carrollton Railroad
Company has undertaken to complete
one whole square at its own expense,
and that, in addition, with its usual
liberality, 1t will subscribe largely
towards the completion Of the work.
II properly put in order this would
be one Of the pleasantest drives that
could be desired. We think that the
insurance companies have an interest
in seeing that this road Is placed In
working order, If it were only as fscil-
ity for the prompt passage OF the fire
departments steam engines. We are
happy to see that there is now o good
basis for depending upon fine driving
road from New Orleans to Carrollton.
AS far as we have been able to ascertain
only two thousand dollars are needed to
secure the completion Of the work, and
such paltry sum assuredly should not
stand In the way Of 80 desirable an end.

seat with the presiding officer, made o
short speech, thanking the body for Its
courtesies. and bis remarks were re-
ceived with considerable applause.
Outside the appearance OF ex-Speaker
Cox there was little or nothing to ripple
the mirror surface of the legislative
stream. The Commission, the Commits
sion. was all the talk, and like the OPP
poneDts OF the boy at the fair who
wanted to climb good fair sapling,
his opponents cried for more grease to
let him slide down easier.

We have learned that Mr.. Hutchin-

and even wrote pamphlet endorsing
these candidates, has arrived in this city
as one Of the unofficial advisory coun-

who has been resident OF New
Orleans for several years. Since
the election he has passed con-
siderable portion Of his time in Wash

It may be well to add that Mr.. Hutch

MEMORIAL DAY.

"They will march no more through inc starry
night,
To rush on the foe ut the dawn Of light,
Nor experience again that fierce delight
That heroes 10 battle feel.
Their bivouac fires are all gone out.
Mute are the song and the joyous shout,
The YELL and assault on tho strong rsd0uDt,
With the clashng OF angry steel"
The first sight that meets the eye OF
the visitor upon entering Greenwood
Cemetery Is the Confederate monu-
ment, with It's white marble soldier
standing guard over the memories OF
the past. :.
The soldier stands on the topmost
pedestal, q representative Of the bravery
and devotion Of whole people, the best
of whom have fallen and are now min
gled with dust in premature graves.
Lower, right In front, on the granite
slab, stands the heroic bust OF Robert e..
Lee. Behind, the hero OF Shiloh, q
blasted hope Of the young Confederacy,
shines Sidney Johnston, one Of the ear
lest martyrs OF the Lost Cause" On
the right Is the figure OF the immortal
Stonewall Jackson, and on the left Gen.
Polk recalls to our minds how the
church can be militant and offer will
ing sacrifice upon the altar OF patriot
ism.
The monument, thus hallowed by all
the memories that the heart holds dear,
was piously and artistically decorated
Yesterday by the Ladies' Benevolent
Associa ton, whose glory 1t is to have
raised the funds and erected the mag
nifcent mausoleum that emblematizes
the idea Of the past.
Other yotive offerings from many
sources contributed to adorn with flow-
cry tributes this memento OF bygone
days.
the front, between the two rows Of
granite steps and beneath the bust OF
Gen. r. Il. Lee, was u perfect bed OF
flowers, especially one large plateau.
resplendant with brilliant colors, (such
as suit the memory OF the entombed
heroes), and redolent with perfume, at
tracted universal admiration. 1t was a
tribute from the Washington Artillery
Association.
The most prominent Offering at the
bust of Gen. Polk was a magnificent
cross, made entirely Of white roses.
Gen. Johnston's bust was handsomely
q splendid basket OF choice flowers.
Stonewall Jackson was not forgotten,
the funereal and complimentary flowers
literally encircled him.
Among other offerings was an anchor
OF white roses encircled with wreath
of the same flowers.
The great mound around and about
the monument was q perfect bed OF
loose roses and rose leaves, with inter-
mingling bouquets.
In short, the whole was fitting
homage paid to glorious memories and
an appropriate tribute to the departed
dead.
The Washington Artillery was not
unmindful Of its gallant Capt. G. H:
Slocomb. The tomb OF this splendid
soldier and eminent citizen in the
Metairie Ridge Cemetery was most
appropriately decorated, and pillar,
adorned with a crown Of white roses,
paid due tribute to the gallant citizen
soldier.
During the whole afternoon crowds OF
people visited the cemetery and paid
devotion to the cold remains OF the lost
friends Of the Lost Cause"

A SMALL TALK WITH GEN. HAWLEY.
What the Commission Will Do.

After the arrival of the night Mobile
train, and the passengers short trip to
the several hotels, a reporter Of the DEM
oeRAT sent his card up to the room OF
Gen. J. r. Hawley, q member of the
Commission, for the purpose, Ii posi-
BILE, or cleaning from him some state
ment Of the purposes and jurisdiction OF
the body OF which he Is member.
In few minutes Gen. Hawley entered
the rotunda, aud with q courteousness
worthy Of u French gallant, introduced
himself to the representative OF this
journal.
In appearance Gen. Hawley is man
Of what might BIO called the athletic,
vigorous temperament. About five feet
eight and half inches in height, with
pleasant face, somewhat hardened
with past endurances, yet still most
pleasant; he resembles very closely the
physiognomy Of Jack Wharton, of.whom
everybody knows. His beard is cut
somewhat like that of ex-Goy. Browns,
but his face evidences more care worn
and laborious thought.
The reporter, to whom he had so
shortly after his arrival shown 80 much
consideration, asked whether any def
mite action had been taken with regard
w tIlc uloblOu vi bllC SOlu
Gen. Hawley-None in the least, sir
We have not as yet had any talk over
the matter. Indeed, until few mo-
ments ago, when received your card. l
had not seen Gov. Brown, and when you
sent for me we were engaged In talk
over the matter.
Rep.-General, T do not desire to be
intrusive, but / would like to know
whether the subject Of a compromise
here, whether it refers to the Senator
ship or to the Legislature, has been
considered by the several members Of
the Com mission?
Gen. HI can say this. That indi-
vidually do.not know anything about
your Senatoriallor legislative questions.
We, come here. simply as pacificators.
and whatever inside issues there may
be know nothing OF them. To-mor-
row morning to-day we will have a
preliminary meeting, and the line OF
conduct we propose to pursue will then
be decided upon.
The General feeling fatigued after
his travel, the reporter then withdrew.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Taxes Paid to the Hampton Cow
crnment-Only $4,000 for the Ex-
penses OF the Legislature.
IN. Y. Tribune.1

IN. Y. Tribune.l
The Hampton Legislature, not having
a quorum In the Senate, passed no tax
bill, but adopted resolution request
ing the people to pay to such persons
MS the Governor might appoint a sum
equal to one fourth OF their last years
taxes, and promising that such pay
ments should be credited them when
the regular tax levy was made. Gov.
Hampton thought he would not need
80 much money, and asked by pro
clamation for only 10 per cent OF last
years tax. The people responded al
most with unanimity. Some did not
pay, but they were few in number, and
their refusal to comply was compen-
stated for by others paying more
than their quota, 80 that
Hampton got in all rather moro
than one-tenth of the total tax OF 1876.
Up to the I'd of this month he had OBJ
tanned from these voluntary payments
OF nearly $4,000, after paying all de-
mands except county officers salaries
and the school fund. His Legislature
cost only $4,000. Republican Legisla-
lures have cost about 5000, 900 annually.
ALI the judges Of the State courts ex-
cept three have drawn their salaries
from him. Even Judge Wright of the
Supreme Court, VINO now refuses to re-
cognize his government, drew upon
Controller General Hagood, who acts as
Treasurer, for months salary. The
draft with the judges signature was
shown me to- day.
The hamberlain government has not
collected dollar of taxes. Its Legisla-
ture passed a tax bill, but injunctions
from the courts stopped its enforcement.

one Of them, Giving on faith" Cham.
