reason of fraudulent returns in the electoral
votes from the States of Florida and Louisi-
ana; and
Whereas, an affidavit by Samuel B. McLin.
chairman of the Board of State Canvassers OF
the State of Florida for the election held in
that State in November, 1876, for the election
of President and Vice President, has been
made public, alleging false and fraudulent re-
turns OF the votes for such election in that
State, whereby the choice OF the people OF that
State was annulled and reversed; that the
action of the State Board OF CanvasSerS max
ing such returns was influenced by the con-
duct and promises Of Hon. Edward I: Noyes,
now Minister to the government OF France;
and
Whereas, it is alleged that conspiracy ex-
listed in the State Of Louisiana, whereby the
Republican vote in all the precincts OF the
parish of East Feliciana and In some pre-
cincts of West Felicana, at the general elec-
tion in November, 1876, was .purposely with
held from the polls to afford pretext for
the exclusion by the Returning Board OF

for elector of President and Vice President,
and that James Z. Anderson, Superintendent
of Registration OF East Feiiciana, and D. A.
Weber, Supervisor Of Registration in the par
ish Of West Feliciana, in that State, in fur.
therance of that conspiracy, falsely protested
that the election in such precincts had not
been fair and free, and that the State Return
ing Board thereupon falsely and fraudulently
excluded the vote of said precincts, and by
means thereof and Of other false and fraudu-
lent action by said Returning Board, the
choice of the people of that State was an.
nulled and reversed, and that such action OF
said Wells and Anderson was induced or en-
cmlraeed by the assurances of the Hon. John

Whereas, the gravity Of these charges. the
renorted to be based, and the official dignity
and position of the persons named in connec-
ton with said frauds, make it proper that the

SUMMARY.

From what precedes 1t follows
That the loan is negotiated with tbs sol6
object Of liauidating all former debts.
That 1t represents the liabilities Of the, So
ciety of the Roman Catholic Church" which are
duced interest.
That it is secured By special mortgage en-
properties worth five times as much, as the
Gent to guarantee both the payment OF interest
and the redemption Of the capital,
Consequently the Mortgage Bonds OF the Do
r ese of New Orleans constitute first class in
vestment, with moral and material securities
but seldom offered to capitalists.

OF INTEREST - Re-
DEMPTION OF CAPITAL

At their meeting Of January IT,. 1878. the
Council Of the Corporation ascertained that.
outside OF the us ual and irregular receipts. the
deduction OF the costs Of administration leaves
surplus of $50 600 that can be disposed Of semi
annually; and 1t was resolved tn t
/. For the punctual payment Of the interest on
the loan a sum of sl25O0 shall, from the first OF
January, 1878. and thenceforth yearly. be re-
served, appropriated and deposited In bank TO
meet these interests.
2. A similar sum Of sl2,5eo shall also. annu-.
ally. from the fret OF January, 1882, be reserved,
appropriated and deposited in bank for the
gradual curtailment Of the capital and 80 on
every year until It's entire extinction.
3. That. in no case and under no preteXt what
ever. these sums reserved. appropriated and
deposited shall be used tor any other purpose
than those above expressed.

Improvement will increase as the rate of inter-

The conventional rate, In Louisiana is too
high for a religious society the revenues of

limited, for. such society cannot look for
10 specuIations altogether inconsistent with It's
mission Of benevoienee and charity.
Therefore 1t is not with view Of creating

LOVE-MAKING IN MEXICO.
Lovers Not At All Disturbed by Crowds of


A traveller In Mexico writes as follows: In
their love making Mexicans are equally limo
cent OF any suspicion Of the improperly OF
public demonstrations. You see couples walk
ing through the crowded plaza with their
arms about each others necks, totally obliyi
Gus of their surroundings. Except among
foreigners such exhibitions excite no com
ment. Driving along the Guadalupe road one
afternoon we came upon Strapplng fellow
seated by the roadside. with a young girl
lying beside him. her head resting in his lap.
AS we passed she turned her face up, to his,
reached upward, and with n shapely hand
jaw-he all the time gazing stolidly Mt
the passing carriage. "You dogn' roared
the exasperated colonel But the dog
maintained his equanmity all the same.
At another time, while riding out to the iron
baths on O street car, we encountered young
couple bedecked in gay holiday ribbons
and clean clothes, walking down the broad
roadway with their arms lovingly clasped
about each others necks. She was young
and quite handsome, and he was young and
carried in his unoccupied hand pitcher OF
pulque, stray drops Of which were sprinkled
along the road. Evidently couple of lovers
returning from pilgrimage to the shrine OF
Our Lady OF Guadalupe, slightly the worse
for their rotations. Their arms were twDed
about each others necks for mutual support
as well as to demonstrate their affection. They
walked pretty steadily however, though with
that obliviousness of demeanor which we see
In more civilized drunkardS when they try to
play it on the people, and think they are sue
ceeding We watched our two lovers from
the rear of the car, and saw their steps grow
gradually unsteady until they began to totter
and wave After drinking q half dozen
glasses of the efferyescent water fresh from
the bubbing spring, we took another street
car for the city We had forgotten all about
our two lovers until we came upon them
again, lying prone upon the ground by the
roadside, their arms still lovingly intertwn-
ed, and their cheeks together, the pitcher
broken at the fountain. and tortuous streak
of moist earth showing where the pulque had
meandered away.

Returning from
A TRIP SOUTHWARK,
the Journey was one never to be forgotten.
Every sense seemed to be gratified by the
rare beauty of the country now radiant with
the verdure of spring. The hawthorn hedges,
cut in fanciful shapes and extending for miles
along the fine roads, white with blossoms, fill
the air with a delicate perfume, and the fields
stretch away far as the eye can reach luxu-
RANT in the various shades of green exhibited
by the coming crops. The hillsides are
adorned and softened in their rugged outlines
by mantle of furze, which in the hunting
season serves as O fox cover" Even the
dreary 'turf boys, in harmony with the sur
roundings, put on the livery of spring, and
the clear brooks babble over pebbly bottoms.
While the eye is everywhere delighted by
Nature in her softest and most beautiful as
pect, the ear also Is charmed by the innumer
able voices of birds as they dart in and out of
the hedges and through the foliage of the
grand old oaks, whose beauty and durability
have been recognized from the earliest times.
