WEDNESDAY, MAY Is, 1878.
ALEXANDRIA Town was stirred

ALEXANDRIA Town was stirred
up bright and early Friday morning,
and the sensational commotion was
all about an Independent steamboat
fitting up against the Pool Line, and
actually backing out ahead of their
Wednesday (river mail day Packet.
The stern. wheeler Assumption was
the offending steamboat, and she
reached here at halfpast six o'clock
in the morning, with light freight
at quarter card rates. She did not
tarry here long, but was soon of, her
officers and crew showing some un,
easiness at the curling black smoke
which they imagined they saw in
the bend below Town. just three
hours later in the morning, by our
"Fashion Calendar time, the big
Kate Kinney, with big load at
quarter card rates and 10 per cent.
of, landed in Pineville, and rushed
out her freight, and making hasty
touch at the big wharf, soon went on
her way rejoicing and expecting to
overhaul the bold aud dashipg indie
pendent Packet.

these settlements will be made," is a
question | cannot answer.
Now, the turn that the above in
dicates in the tide Of our cleim,
merits plain language, and merits at
once the serious attention and ma
ture consideration of the State Aud
itor, who has the management Of
these claims, and for his cousidera-
ton, we have a few facts to print
and make public. 1t is impossible
for just and valid and legally allow
able claims to amount to more than
nine thousand dollars, and we pro-
coed to elucidate. We make bold to
state that not over 40 papers in the
State published the Delinquent lists
of their respective Parishes, and we
know that the list published in the
DEMOCRAT was more than double
that published in one-half OF. the
journals, and fully four times as
much as in the other half Of the
journals. Several journals refused
to publish the list, and several
others published it as private con
tract Of their own, outside of the
States future aid, and acted wisely,
as we now know. What we make
out of all this, and what we want to
impress as fact on the Auditor, is
that these claims noao sifted and
we'll measured cannot exceed an ave-
rage of two hundred dollars to each
journal, and that eight thousand dol
lars will more than cover all honest
and fair claims which can be made
out. Therefore, the idea of claims
of $4,000 being already made out
and more expected is a fraudulent
absurdity and should be rebuked,
and we denounce them as such, and
demand of tue State Auditor a close
and strict scrutiny in all of them
and, above all, demand of him a
quick and speedy settlement of
some sort, for we have fingered on
the brink of uncertainty already
too long.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1878-05-15

we strive hard in our state
ments of the doings of officials aud
others to state facts as near as we
can, sand have no intention to reflect
unjustly on any of them. For fear,
in the future, that some or any of
them, may have their corns stepped
on without cause, we tender them the
free use of our columns to rectify
our supposed mistakes, in order that
the people may be the umpire to set
tie the matter. A few words of ex-
PLANTATION, plainly printed in our col
umns will do more good than twenty
side show harangues on the corner
Of the streets or in places of doubt
full propriety, to viudicate the truth
Of these passing events.

-DoN'T some of our GROWERS and
fault finders, who are daily heard in
open abuse of the last Legislature,
for not enriching them at once, and
paying their taxes for them, begin
to feel the dead weight they have
been packing, and the open good
will they have been showering on
our old enemy2 We think they have
gone far enough, have extended
enough warm comfort to the legions
of the Returning Board, and now
should begin to subside and prepare
for q new start in November's race,
and again bask in the cool shade Of
their own party. We ask them TO
reflect on this advice, for which we
make no charge, but will levy contri'
buttons on the enemy to make up
for it.
