Some Of Kellogg's cid friends, those tried an,
found true, claimed to a DEMOCRAT reporter,
day or two ago, that William Pitt was eve
watchful of the interests OF those who had rem
dered him service, and mentioned. in connection
Herewith, that he had fixed his Returning Boart
friend Tom Anderson, in such q manner that |
there ever should be any shorlness in Toms ac
account a.
| TREASURER or THE SCHOOL BOARD
of the parish Of TT. Landry the Nichols people
could not push him, Anderson, or his securities
Knowing that there was but one way in which,
such fixing" could be arranged, the DBmooRAT'a
inqusitor repaired to the State House, to ascer-
tain, II possible just when Kellogg went through
the performances of fixing by cancelipg the
bonds Of his Returning Board friend.
After diligent search among old rubbsh a
| badly mutilated and torn book was found which

ediy prevented our State authorities from taking
action in some cases against the euretes OF come
OF the officials that would result Ia recovery OF
funds actually gobbled up by these Kellogg
ofiic ale.
Uader the existing lawe, act No. G5 OF 1873, it
was necessary that app ioatiop for cancellation of
bonds must BIO made to the Executive, and while
Kellogg welded the baton he took precious good
care that no such applications were made public
except in cases where he desired to
cRowp HIS AProINTEEs
to obtain come desired result.
To be brief, Kellogg's cancellation book, the
one mentioned alb We, has fallen into the posses-
zion of DEMocRAT reporter, and from it we give
the readers of the DEMOCRAT the names of a few
Of those whom Kellogg relieved from any fears OF
prosecution by oaneelling their bonds.
The blank form appended will give the neces-
sary explanation as to the mode OF procedure.

BY this 1t will DO seen that the blank can be
used in the cancellation OF the bonds Of any
State or parish official, and the fact that num-
