Several OF our prominent citizens, as VIC have
mentioned before, have combined to offer q CON
cert to Mr.. August Davis, first-elass musician
and native of New Orleans. Mr.. Davis but
lately had one Of the sweetest Of tenor voices,
and is now threatened to lose it by sickness.
The object of the concert is to afford him the
means to travel and recover. The Thirteenth
United States Infantry band and many OF our
most talented lady and gentleman amateurs have
volunteered to act in the concert, which promises
to be brilliant aff,ir.

New Orleans, June 8, 1877
Hon. Il. N. Ogden, Attorney General Of the
The committee appointed by the General As.
sembly to Examine the affairs OF the late Auditor,
have been holding sessions for o month or more
Owing to the fact that many and important books
have been abstraoted from the Auditors office,
the Investigations OF The commit tee have been i'm
perfect and comparatively Ruthless, and will con-
time to he go until said books are returned to
ih' ir proper custody that of the State Auditor.
We find, also, that the late Auditor, Mr.. john
son, failed to furnish the General Assembly his
annual report for the year 1876, as required by
law, and he has also refused to furnish the same
TO this committee for their guidance. The late
Auditor, MIR. johnson, has IT fused TO testify be-
fore this committee in regard to the abstraction
Of the afore named books, claiming that ii
would initiate against his rights to the Auditors
Off q, now In litigation.
We respectfully submit that Mr.. Johnson's
title to Office has nothing to do with the custody
of the public records OF the State, and we ear
nestly request you to take such steps as in your
discretion You may deem ne cessary to force those
who have been guilty OF abstractiDg these
books to return them TO the Auditors Office, in
order that this committee may perform their
labors and carry out the jects intended by the
General Assembly in its appointment.
We are, very respectfully, YOURS,

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.

The Contract system-WOrk for Lab0rers
:. In Another Direction.
A rumor which has prevailed, to the effect that
the Mayor had signed the ordinance providing
for the letting out Of the work Of the city by con-
tract, lie, to say the least, premature. His Honor
says that he has not yet done so. The general
impression is STILL however, that the ordinance
will receive bis approval.

the Jackson and Northern Railroad, Of the prob

and fifty thousand dollars will be for labor alone.
This sum will give work to
FIVE OR SIX HUNDRED MEN
daily for two months, and two OF tho usually
dullest months in the yea.
THE LABoRERs' MEETING. /
About seventy-fve laboring men gathered in
Lafayette Square about noon on Saturday, pur-
suant to q call made in the newspapers, and were
addressed by MIR. Todd. The meeting was quiet
and orderly.
The gst Of Mr.. Todd's address was that the
laboring men should organize in every ward in
the city, and appoint q board from among them
selves TO make contracts with the city to clean
the streets and keep them in repair. The speaker
spoke also In favorable terms Of the Mayor, who,
he thought. was actuated by the best motives
toward the workngman.
The proposition OF Mr.. Todd is to all appear
ances the organization OF the laborng men into
trades union.
At the close Of the meeting the few laboring
men present we're invited TO walk up to the stand
and sign their names to the roll, but few, IL any,
answered the invitation.
The meeting adjourned until Tuesday next at
eleven O'Clock.
MORE OF THE CONTRACT QUESTION.

as to his intentions regarding the contract ordi-
nance. This surprises many people, besause it
was believed that the ordinsnce would be signed
shortly after its passage by the Council. and
since the system was advocated in positive
terms by the Mayor in his message
on assuming the responsibilities Of the Office
of Mayor. MIR. pilebury, however, IL is claimed
around the City Hall, should be given credit for
what be is about, and IL IL possible that the de-
lay is due to the wish on his part to hear what

istrators who voted in favor Of the proposition
continue to exprees themselves firmly convinced
of the superior advantages Of the contract sys-
tenn over the old ono.

\ Remarkable Stage Robbery.

Our Wickenburg dispatch last Satur- day, gave some particulars of the rob- bery of the California & Arizona stage twelve miles from that place. but a correspondent of the Prescott Enter prise gives others of interest showing it, in one respect at least, to have been a remarkable job for one agent "-as il is certain one dld the business g alone The passengers were NIT. Ed. c. Peck and family, his father and mother, and Messrs Dan Thorn and Ellis, the two latter gentlemen being on the drivers seat. The robber step ped from the bushes and with a double bagreled shotgun compelled the driver to stop so quickly as to throw him on the ground where he laid while Mir. Thorn was made to break open the ex- press box with an axe with which the robber provided him, and Mir Ellis was required 10 rip open the mail sacks and afterwards obeyed further orders and opened the valuable mail pack ages. Two bars of bullion belonging to the Peck Company, were returned to the stage with the broken express box and cut mail bags. The robber, after completing his work, mounted his horse which was tied at a little dis tance from the scene of robbery, and proceeded at rapid gait about 500 yaris north when he discharged hIs gun. The account in the Enterprise, states what IS not surprising under the circumstances, viz:
 The coOlness with which the orders wee given and the jokes issued by the robber shows him 10 be possessed of most enviable nerve and unpre- cedented quantity of unadulturaed cheek. He is described as being about five feet eight inches in height, slim built, dark hair and as having been dressed in the garb of a labOriug man.
 In addition to the matter taken from the express, there were taken 5000 U. $. currency belonging to the Postotfice Department; bar of gold bullion be- longing to C. P. Head & Co.,, worth S47O; registered letters containing va rious accounts of money and cheeks. Many checks sent off by the mail were saved and brought back.

THE Missouri Valley Life Insurance Com pany ofI.eavenworth, Kansas, has gone in- to liquidation, but as we eunderstand if, the action is voluntary, and policy holders will be furnished with paid-up policies for the amount Of premiums paid. Quite a num- Der Of people Tn Tucson are insured in the Company for from s25OO to s.O,OOO and a few have paid up about sIO0O. Col David Taylor, formerly stationed here and res ident Of LeaSenworth, was the first 10 send advice of the CoBpany's action to this town. The Colonel has a large insurance on himself in the Company, and advises against any hasty action on the part of policy holders. In reply 10 a telegram from Charles T. Etchells of this town, Squires Taylor advises 10 pay no more premiums and to take a paid-up policy for the amount paid in. From the infor- nation received from Col. Taylor and his son who live in Leavenworth, we are of opinion the Company will settle honor ably with it's patrons. If the liquidation were enforcei instead Of voluntary, we would not encourage any one to hope for any return-befOre or after death-for the money paid.
