LEGISLATIVE ITEMS.

The House was kept In session till late
hour last evening, in consequence OF the fill
clustering resorted to by Mr.. Leonard and the
minority to prevent the reaching of the Sem
ate bills to incorporate the Red River and
Mississippi Railway Company and to amend
the charter of the city of Shreveport. Inspite
of the dilatory tactics of the minority, how
ever, the bills were reached and passed to their
second reading.
The reports Of the conference committees on
the Senate amendments to the revenue and
general appropriation bills, were made, and
their Recommendations adopted.
The conference between the House and
Senate committees on the revenue bill re-
suited In the striking out Of the amendment
OF the Senate taxing the consolidated bonds
Of the State, and in a compromise on the
senate's amendment increasing the general
half mills as fixed by the House, was III
creased In the Senate to thirteen and half
mills; but the difference was compromised
by fixing the total tax at thirteen mills.
These were the only amendments OF any con-
sequence. The report Of the committee was
adopted as whole by the House.

VESTED RIGHTS.
[Natchitoches Vindicator,J


The lawyers of our State, as class, are
virtuous men, and their ability none can
question, but 1t is an ability to determine
statutory law, not that which entities them
to rank first in every department of The
worlds knowledge. Macauley tells us that
the peculiar education Of lawyer units him
to reason upon questions inductively. That
is, he must have his whole premise admitted
as facts before his logic can be assumed
to be sound; and these facts he in
sists must be contained within statute books
and Supreme Court decisions.
The fact of this Was brought forceably to
our mind in the late contest against the mo-
nopolies existing in this State Our lawyers
In ,ist they have vested rights" which could
not be destroyed, while the patriot, who
gathers knowledge of the principles Of re-
publican liberty not from statute books but
from the promptings OF the intelligent free
mans brain, the utterings OF patriots gone
before, and the very essense OF our govern
ment itself, feels and known that no power
exists that can vest with inherent rights any
individual or class which would or may be
detrim antal to the whole people.
England had "vesfed right, statutory
right to tax America. No lawyer doubts that.
and some of the ablest American legal gentle-
men of that day, whosfterward became ster-
ling patriots, dubbed to the last moment
upon the "vt sted right" Of England to tax

Mails are certainly becoming more and
more irregular in this locality. The first
New Orleans mails we have had for several
days reached us this morning.
alexandria Democrat
We have suffered serious inconvenience the
past week with our New Orleans mail, and all
through the criminal indifference and neglect
OF plain duty OF the clerks in the New Or
ls Postofloe. The mail leaving there on
Tuesday WAS only made up of Northern and
Western papers, and did not contain any
mail matter from New Orleans proper.
This II Of course, was awfuIly bad OF on
leans papers Of Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, and we had to grin and bear the
nuisance infliction with patience, consoling
ourselves that in the river mail, leaving
Wednesday, we would get all our back New
Orleans dates. Well reader, the Texas slowly
reached here late in the night Friday with
that mail, and on being opened early Satur-
day morning, all the missing New Orleans
journals which should have reached US
Thursday evening came safely to hand forty
hours behind time all owing to the nom per-
Torrance of plain duty by the clerks in the
New Orleans POstOtfica. But here again.
these same clerks committed another unpar-
donable and criminal delinquency in not put
ting in these bags the New Orleans papers Of
Wednesday, for which this very mail Is spe-
cially and mostly intended. But at last, in
the regular mail, leaving Thursday, these
same clerks tackled back to duty, and we are
again up to time in all our New Orleans

WASHINGTON, March 11.--Senator Davis, Of
West Virginia, chairman of the Senate COM
mittee to investigate the charges preferred
by him last year that there are enormous dis
crepancies in the treasury books, assured
your correspondent to-day that the investiga-
tion had already progressed far enough 10
tanned by the facts. ut is slow work" said
the Senator, but every additional! bit Of light
shows that there are greater discrepancies
than were charged" Ofthe system of investi-
cation he said: "We are examining carefully
every voucher and every account since 1860. We
in 1860 was correct. It was then In the neigh
borhood OF sixty millions. We propose to
sum up all receipts and expenditures since
then, as shown by the books and vouchers in
the Treasury Department. In this way we
shall show what the debt ought to be now il
the tire ,sury books have been kept correctly.
If, as will certainly be the case, the debt is

plain what has become of the money. We
shall show that during Boutwells steward
ship q forced balance was made by a
certain officer, and that he made it
In accordance with written orders
1t will then be for some one to explain why
that order was issued" In answer to ques-
occurred, Senator Davis said he believed that
1t mostly occurred during the war; that one
and another were allowed to get money from
the treasury improperly; that it was taken
by dishonest officials, both in and outside the
department., and that those people referring
to the Republicans) finally deemed 1t neces-
sary to cover up the aggregate result Of these

DEATH OF JUDGE j. e. LEONARD.

Gen. McMillen received dispatch last
night announcing the death OF Judge J. E.
Leonard yesterday morning, in Havana, of
yellow fever. He had gone there, as was re-
ported, to investigate certain charges made
relative to the Kidnapping and shipment of
negroes from the United States to Cuba. An
other report, however, stated that he went
there on private business.
Judge Leonard was born in Philadelphia,
and came to Louisiana subsequent to the war.
He was the only Republican member of Con-

of intelligence and cultivation, and previous
to his election to Congress had been appointed

commission, which bill is to have embodied in
1.-THE provision Of Senator Cockrel's bill, all
the exception of Casey Young, of Memphis.

that the five members of the commission
shall be taken from the engineer corps of the

Young, and Robinson of Massachusetts. Ali

have laid aside In favor of the GibsOn bill,
