THE FAITHFUL.
Meeting OF the Republican State Central
Committee.

The Republican State Central Committee
will meet at Turner'S Hall at IL o'clock to-day.
Contrary to expectation the country will be
fairly represented, there being between forty
and fifty delegates from the country parishes
already in the city.
The meeting will be a stormy one and will
be held with closed doors.
There are several matters of interest to be
considered, and among the most important
questions to be decided are:
/. What stand as regards nominations will
the party take in the coming campaign and
2. How shall the independent movement of
the ColOred men be stopped, and the organiza-
ton broken up.
AS to the first question, there can be no
doubt that it any decision Is reached at ALL it
will be to
CONTEST EACH ONE OF THE CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICTS,
and if an acceptable man is put I'D by some
Of the sorehead factions of the Democratic
party, against Major E. A. Burke. the Demo-
cratic nominee for State Treasurer to cup
port him.
In this connection it may be stated that N.
O. kennison is spoken Of as probable cam
didate against Major Burke, and that while
him Tor any other man themselves they look
for his nomination by the Nationals or some
other faction, and if he is nominated the
leaders will urge their followers to vote for
him.
AS to the congressional districts, Tom An
derson is figuring for the nomination from
the Sixth, and will probably get it; Albert
Leonard, the present United States District
Attorney, will undoubtedly be nominated in
the Fourth, and in the Third Judge Taylor
Beattie will be indorsed and supported, unless
Darrall succeeds in convincing the leaders in
the district that he is the stronger man, and
thus secures q nomination.
The second question, regarding the indie
pendent movement, is the one which will
start the disturbance in the meeting. The
grievances and complaints Of the Independ-
ents will be presented by their representatives
in the committee, and some action will be in
sisted upon.
The Independents lose an able supporter in
A. DumOnt, chairman OF the committee, who
is i'll, it Is said, of yellow fever.

MUNICH AL.
THE POLICE PAY ANm CITY TAXES.

Yesterday the delegation appointed by the
Crescent City Police Association waited on
the Mayor to ascertain what prospects there
were of paying the police. The Mayor an
swered that the apprehensions Of the paen OF
the force were q little premature, inasmuch
as the city was backward in paying them
only few days as compared with other
months, pay day hardly coming on before the
tenth day of the month. he.delay, and the
prospect of other delays, were entirely due to
the delinquency of the taxpayers. He as
sured them, however, THAT everything was
being done, and would be done by the Council
to pay the police.
APROPos OF TAXES,
Mayor Pilsbury, referring to the opinion
that there need not have been any haste In ex-
changing the Waterworks stock of the city
for evidences of the floating indebtedness, re-
plies that this floating indebtedness is the
bare OF the municipal government, and on
that account 1t was necessary to call as much
Of 1t in as possible. The reason, his honor
saye, why 1t causes embarrassment is, that
some taxpayers refrain from paying their OBJ,
legations to the city In the hope that the next
Legislature will pass an act making city float
ing indebtedness receivable for taxes, as the
General Assembly has already done repeat-
eddy. The taxpayer, believing that he can
pay his taxes with city scrip at O. cost of
thirty or thirty-five cents on the dollar, there
fore hides his time, and such is the condition
of affairs now, thinks the Mayor. They are
waiting to see what the next Legislature will
do Although, says his honor he has endea-
vored strenuously to impress the legislative
committees on city affairs of the de1eterious
results OF such laws he has failed Some
members Of the committee, he added, have
gone so far as to acknowledge that they were
personally interested In passing laws making
city scrip receivable for taxes, but excused
themselves by saying that the laws we're in
the Interest of all taxpayers.
This condition is so plain that q large tax
payer has very recently expressed to the
Mayor his regret ct having paid his taxes,
giving as d reason for the regret that in al .
probability the delinquents would seek andA
obtain some relief from the Legislature, from
the advantages OF which he would be de-
barred because he had been public spirited
enough to pay his taxes instead of waiting
like others are doing

| the repairing to the lowest bidder was
adopted.
Mr. Mitchell, on behalf Of the special COM
mittee on the subject, reported in favor of
paying $500 to City Attorney Jonas for legal
services rendered to the school board, which
sum was a considerable rebate on what he
would be entitled to at regular rates. The
report says that although the school law
makes the City Attorney the attorney of the
board, the law was retroactive and not bind
ing on Mr.. Jonas
Mr., McLain opposed the claim. but the re-
solution accompanying the report was
adopted.
Mr.. Mitchell next offered a resolution to
the effect that this payment to the City At
tOrney shall not be considered as O precedent,
as under the plain letter of the law it is made
the duty of the City Attorney to give his legal
serytt5t, to the board without compensation,
Adopted

ers, reported in favor Of the reduction OF the
French teachers in the consolidated academic

kins nominated Mrs. Vienne; Mr.. Barley
nominated Mrs. Howard.
Fourteen ballots were cast, of which Mrs.
Howard obtained votes and Mrs. Vienne 8.
Mrs. Vienne was declared duly elected.
On motion OF Superintendent Rogers the
time OF
REOPENING THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ed to the committee on teachers to be placed
on the rolls for an assignment to position in

The resignation Of Mrs. E. P. Golding, third
assistant of the Beauregard School, Was ten
dered and accepted.
Mr. Mitchell offered resolution in view of
the embarrassed condition OF the cityS
finances, and in view of economy, that the
academic departments Of the public schools
be abolished. The resolution was laid on the
table,
The board went into executive session, and
adjourned thereafter.

the road, who made the following brief state
ment:
The grade from Morgan City to Vermillion-
vile is in perfect condition, barring q few
plantation bitches cut through it and few
plantat ton roads and crossings, and barring
Bakers swamp, wherein for distance of 5000
feet there is no grade, though the space is
cleared. We are now filling this swamp. We
have laid two miles and a half of track from
the edge OF Bayou Teche to the swamp. We
have construction train Of twelve cars and
one engine and eighty men at work. We will
