HON. LOUIS BUsH's LETTER,

A letter from Hon. Louis Bush, relative to
act No. II Of 1875 and The action of The Board
of liquidation on the bonds affected by that
act. win be found IN another column Of this
mornings DEMOCRAT. The letter is n clear
and exhaustive review Of the law, the dec-
sions of the court in relation TO IL and the
policy which controlled the board, and we are
satisfied will convince all parties OF the wig
dom of the course pursued.
We protest. however, that Col. Bush docs
,s an injustice IN chasing us with those who
attacked the resolutions Of the board, or
even with those who objected TO them. So
far from dissenting from those resolutions,
the very morning following their adoption,
learning that some dissatisfaction was
eyinccd IN certain financial quarters, we
wrote and published an article fully indorsing
tho resolutions and holding that the board
had acted with prudence and discretion in
thus resolving to follow the strict letter and
spirit OF the law; that though there might be
some delay in funding certain of the sus-
pected bonds the confidence of tho public In
tho State credit would be necessarily strength
cned by this declared purpose of the board TO
make the law It's guide In every step 1t might
take. We have never changed our views on
this subject, and we now fully and conclu-
sively indorse every position taken by Col
Bush In his letter TO us.
The communication Of MIR. Forstall, we re-
member, took issue with the board; but we
did not concur in that gcntleman's views. We
printed his communication as we do the COM
munications of any OF our responsible citizens
upon questions Of public interest, whether
they coincide with our own opinions or not.
We do not remember TO have written any
thing on the subject at the time Mr. For
stalls communication was printed. though
we may have referred to and epitomizcd It's
views in paragraph or two.
We make these observations in justice to
eurself. The letter Of Col Bush is a valuable
document. we'll calculated to inspire conf
,lcnce in the Board Of Liquidation, and thus
to strengthen the credit Of the State. We
are glad to print it. and barring his error in
chasing us with the adversaries OF the policy
Of the board, we indorse 1t throughout.

The division of the parish of Carroll into
two new parishes, East and West Carroll, has
given rise to many nice constitutional ques-
tiohs, among which the most important
seems to be whether the officials elected
in November last for the old or mother
parish, can act as officials of one Of its child
rem, East Carroll, as they are at this very mo-
ment. doing. The. Judge of the Parish Court
of East Carroll, for instance, was never either
elected or appointed to that office; nor do any
of the other officials OF the parish, sheriff,
clerk, OF recorder, hold their terms by any
other right, title or claim than that they
were elected to these offices for Carroll
parish, and that it was out of this parish
that East Carroll was formed.
The lawyers and others who had cases in
the courts of the parish were not at all salts
fed with this uncertainty, and the question
Was tested before Judge Hough, of the District
Court, last week, ON motion to quash the
yenire of Jurors drawn by the clerk and re-
4sopier, on the ground that it was not drawn
BY the officers of East Carroll parish, as re-
auired by law, but by the ex-ofiiciais OF Car
roll. What the exact decision of the district
Judge was, the Carroll Conservative does not
state, but it represents it as sort OF com
promise and regrets that the doubts thai
must arise from uncertain officials were no'

essarily be arbitrary, and we cannot Judge Of
its merits until we have observation-disclosures. We
will venture 10 say, however, that II the Pres

civil service reform and to insure honesty and
efficiency In the discharge Of the public bust
ness, no such basis Of distribution as that
indicated by Secretary Sherman should be
adopted.
aaThe whole country knows. and Of course
the President knows also. That nlne- tentha Of
the leaders of the Radical party in Louisiana

ignorant men. There are very few Of them
who are not subject to Indictment for gross

Offices. If he hopes to retain the respect and
good will Of the people of the State, he and
his secretaries must not make any more such
appointments as Dula and Chapman. and we
can assure him that the people here will re-
gard the appointment OF w. O. Brown. late
Superintendent of Public Education, to any
Office of consequence, as an insult and that

The letter Of Mr.. Mccartney, Administra-
tor of improvements. shows that he has
administered his Office not more extravagant-
ly than his predecessor: indeed, It shows an
actual considerable reduction In the cost of
salaries IN the Department of improvements
for tho month Of May 1877, as compared with
those paid i'm the same month In 1876. This
however, ia no argument against the contract
system. We do not think that Mr. Mccartney
has been charged with excessive eStravagance
in hts department. The change IN the system
of doing the work Of that department was
based, we understand, upon the proposition
that by the contract system the work can
be done more cheaply than under any Admin
istrator. The superiority Of the contract
system was the motive not the maadminis-
tration of Mr.. Mccartney who, we believe has
proved. SO far, an excellent officer. Whether
the contract system is the cheapest or not,
can only be positively determined after 1t has
been tried and It's cost compared with that Of
the present system under Mr.. Mccartney and
his predecessors.

WHILE the account from both Rus.
