CAPITOL NOTES.

There ia some talk Of q Senate resolution
limiting the present session to thirty days.
The "mernbers' were at the st Charles
lobby last night but not in great numbers.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will hear
the contestant and ctyrltestee In the case Of
Moore VS.. Cage ut It's first nesting.
All Of the appointments sent by the Gov
ernor to the Senate have been disposed of,
consequently the Senate's executive docket Is
clear.
Some Of the Republican members begin to
talk Of bulldozing in one Of the parishes and
tell frightfu1 stories, but as yet the Governor
has heard nothing.of the kind.
The Auditor needs only the assessment list
from st. Landry to complete the entire State
assstSsInent for 1877, and we're it at hand he
could include 1t IN his report
The public highway convict labor junction,
Mr.. Stubb's bill, comes up in the Senate to-
day, and will, it is expected excite lively de-
bate, as 1t is understood that some OF the Re
publican members are opposed to it.
A petition asking the President to appoint
one Of the members Of the Legislature as Col
lector Of the Port went forward yesterday
with the names Of large number Of the
members OF the House and Senate as in
dOrsers.
It is quite probable that Senator VIII
Steven will occupy his scat in the Senate be-
fore the session closes, and his friends will be
pleased to soc him participating in the Senate
proceedings again, even though he cannot
move about rs lively as he did last year at
Odd Fellows Hall.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 13, 1873.


Editor Democrat Your publication of the
sented on Tuesday next Tor the consideration
OF our city authorities, marks hopeful era in
the controversy now pending between what,
IN Its present attitude, appears to be conflict
ing, II not inimical interests between the city
and the consolidated bOndhoders.
The language used and suggestions made
In this memorial entitle it to the most earnest
and respectful consideration from all citizens
who desire to see harmonious conclusion to
a contest that has already become acrimoni-
Gus. There is not taxpayer or bondholdcr
OF this community who would not breathe
freer and enjoy greater repose if the munich
pal debt was permanently arranged on a
popular basis, not subject to the uncertainty
OF legislative or municipal changes and pro-
tracted litigation. The temper and spirit in
which this proposed memorial is issued aD-
peals to such kindly reflection as to render
argument against it divested of combative-
ness, and assume the more pleasant and genial
form OF persuasive suggestion.
!. Inc peroratlon of the memorial recites In
language OF feeling and dignity the desire to
extrcate (by some means) the city from its
present dilemma, and with a loyalty of pur-
pose that wins regard for its propositions,
shows hberality in expressing it's views, with
carried out There is now occasion that every
possible reason should be urged for maintain
ing the premium bond system. In the lam
glage OF the memorial: '.The premium bond
plan has so far worked well, and the eventual
extingushmentof of the debt is thereby assured.
including consolidated bonds without increas-
ing the present rate of taxation" 1t is true
that further Oh it suggests, as a deynier resort,
''the passage of a law enabling the city to
scale her debt, and to issue bonds bearing 81
per cent, payable semtannually in fifty years.
and creating sinking fund for their extin-
guishment within that time. expressing the
opinion that this plan would be more accepta-
bic to some of the creditors, because they
would receive interest at short and stated
periods. s
The objection that this proposition sug-
gests is that the premium bond plan has
already been adopted, and is partially, at
least, in successful operation. Its workings
thus far have given general satisfaction to
those who have invested in. it, and steadily
gains friends and advocates as is saeyisieneed

A first hearing of "Cymbeline" by Mr..

pleasure Of speaking in detail Of their abili-
ties enables us to say that it Is o powerful

the new comers we have to compliment Mr..

HARRASAED HUNT.
He Declines to Talk, Rat Talks Anyhow

Last evening a reporter called at the Parish
Prison for the purpose OF intervieHing the
Evansville fugitive, +. Winchester Hunt alias
JAS. Walker. The accused entered the ante
room, and, being in the presence of the re-
porter, he drew himself up to his full height
and after secng the reporter, he said: ." II
you have come down here to get o statement
you have come to the wrong man" Hunt
like Hartnctt, the burglar, to use the prison
ers expressions, was u thoroughbred and he
would not tumble; he had been there before
and he was no souch, and like men who are
familiar with crime, won't give anything away
The reporter was fully aware Of the peeli-
harities OF the man he had to deal with and
knew that IT he kept quiet Hunt would give
himself away before he would be aware of
what he WIS doing.
Hunt don't know whether you are q re-
porter or detective, and that is why l don't
want to make n statement
The detectives put one job up on me, but
did not bite; their bait was bad Why, do you
know the sort Of racket they gave me ? Why
they wrote letter, directed It to me, put it in
the postolfice and then waited for me to come
and get it out, but did not come. That letter
would have been there until now before would
have been green enough to have gone after It,
But they got me anyhow, and l suppose it is
all right.
The papers here seem to have gotten my
case All mixed up. Why, at the farthest,
that little trick Of mine will not amount to
over $500, and see some Of the papers run it
up to $1,000. L could tell something about that
firm Of Miller Bros. but | won't. Ii told it
they might give me a rub when / came ITO
trial.
Here the accused stopped, but in few mo-
ments began again, saying: l don't think
they want me back home as bad as they make
out. They could have arrested me in Evans
vile before I left there Why, Chief of Po-
lice Klein was one Of the parties who run me
out Of the town.
would not care for all this, but my old
mother is living In Evansville and expect it
will go hard with her; but things may be all
right yet. The senior partner Of that firm,
Mr.. Conrad, Miller, will be in this city on
Monday, and he may fix up things I want to
go back home as soon as possible. / am tired
Of this jail.
I tell you, reporter, you say that the state
ments made by my prosecutors are correct,
and guess you will be correct. No, guess
you had better not say that. You fellows have
got your foot on my neck and sort Of crowd
a man when he is down.
Here the conversation ended, and the re-
porter turned from the presence Of the man,
who, from his appearance, seemed capable Of
dabblng in any crime, regardless OF its enor
mty
