In figuring, as II were, over the records left In
Che Auditors office, to make up as complete a
statement as possible for his forthcoming report
70 the General Assembly, Auditor Jumel has dis
covered that there was outstanding and unpaid
on the LIST Of January, 1877, in State warrants,
$274,4N "a, Of various kinds and drawn against
various appropriations. In many instances IL
viii be discovered that some Of these warrants
have been drawn In
EXCESS OF THE APPROPRIATIONS,
and for that reason, no doubt. the State Board Of
Liquidation will handle the old issues Of war
rants with more than usual care until the exact
Smount Of the excess is ascertained.
The information Is derived by the Auditor
from critical and thorough examination OF all Of
the stub warrant books left by johnson in the
Auditors Office; and In order to make 1t more clear,
books we're provided and complete set has been
made, showing the record Of every transaction
In the Office, which, with the minute data ar
ranged and to be arranged by the Auditorial H.
vcstigating Committee, will show to dollar how
much Of the taxpayers money has been used, and
for what purpose.
The Treasury Investigating Committee will be
able to show, too, exactly
WHO RECEIVED THE MONEY
for the warrants paid, and both reports will. in
al probability, be ready for the Legislature as
soon % II meets. The experts appointed by the
last named committee have now completed an
accurate transcript OF every warrant received
and paid by cash or check in the treasury during
the year 1876, and have partially completed also,
. transcript for the year 1876, and will soon have
that, 10 well rs 1874 and 1873, completed.
This data, made as 1t is, will show when each
warrant was received in the treasury, to whom
issued, what appropriation 1t was drawn against
and each indoraer, showing just
WHO HANDLED THE MONEY,
and in that way it will be discovered who the
parties were who figured oonspcuousy in some
OF the
HEAVIEST LEGISLATIVE GRABS
during the past eight years.

ON THE WING.

During the warm spell last week party of our
city gents, well known to all good fellows, be-
came fired with an ambition to take hunt at
Mlller's bayou. As characteristic, physically and
mentally. these gentlemen were known among
themselves as Sitting Bull, Spotted Tail, Red
Cloud, Chief Joseph and Capt. Jack. The game
to be found did not occasion much anxiety to
these amateur Nimrods, as they were provided
against all contingencies, and if one kind of
game failed them, they had within themselves
ample resources for game which the burning of
"villainous saltpetre did not necessarily form a
feature Of. In fact, it is said that these hunts
men did not 80 much care about the game it was
hoped they would bring down in the lakes and
lagoons as they did about the game they ex-
peced to "bag" by discriminating "bluffs I"
and judicious "draws." One Of the party, BY
name Red Cloud, stood prominent as terror to
the balance of the party, and sitting Bull, who
had in many q melee felt the keen edge Of his
tomahawk, asserted that he was invincible, an
admission Spotted Tail scotfed at nevertheless,
to see if it was within the power Of human
agency to "get away" with the shekels Of Red
Cloud, they formed an alliance, offensive and de-
fensive, and, with high hopes of success, joined
fortunes.
The details Of the struggle are omitted in con-
sideration of the lacerated feelings of the victims
who fell in the contest; suffice that Red Cloud
emerged from the melee of the strife with fresher
lsurels and bleeding scalps
Sitting Bull early quit the contest; though
slightly wounded, he suilenly retired in disgust,
leaving his indomitable ally, Spotted Tail, to face
the battle, who fought long and well against his
cool and wary adversary, but Was badly punished,
though not vanquished.
The hunt was conducted with all the rigor of
true sportmen. It was understood that all game
was to be shot on the wing. SO far as known this
rule was carried out, as evidenced by the number
of poule d'eau shot in the head. SO punctiiious
was the observation OF this understanding that it
is resonn cd as fact, thai vixen rabbit started
in front Of Capt Jack, and sorhe one cried out to
id if shoot before it flies"
This heroic answer is handed tiown as an ex-
tween gentlemen.

Bernard Brewer had no place to sleep last

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
A DISCOVERY.

Our two Damp street contemporaries have dis
covered that it now costs $4,000 to run the Mayors
department of the city government against $780,
720 under Radical rule.
Neither OF them mention, however, the word
radical in the comparison, possibly from fear Of
wounding the feelings Of their old friends. By
the way, this is the first time that they have
made any ausion to the economy OF the present
city government.
