OF transfers of stock have been re-en-
acted and modified so as to correct ex-
1sttng abuses. In the criminal law
many reforms have been reached. A
comprehensive bribery law, law
furnishing the destruction, mutilatien or
removal of public records, law legu-
latlnR and facilitating appeals in crimi-
nal cases, aud another allowing the
working of cOnvicts in certain cases,
have been enacted. Nor have works of
public Improvement been overlooked.
The statutes OF 1877 and 1878 Will bear
witness to the desire of fostering and
encouraging works Ut public improve
ment and enterprise. | question:, Mr..
President, whether the statute books OF
any State for a similar time coutaIn as
MANY acts of this character, and ques-
tion also whether III any Ot them tue
Interests of the State aud people have
been better guarded than by the pro-
Visions OF the acts ON this subject Which
have been passed by this General AS
sembly. Whilst mentioning public ltn-
prOvement, see what has been done rs
to the levee system of this State. Ihe
Levee Company has been abolished,
the tag done away with, the company
Teinltted to the courts as to It's clalths,
with prOyiso that the claims, even 1t
judicially established, should be paid al
the rate of sixty cents on the dollar,
mostly from the proceeds Ut the tax al.
ready levied. Sir, one Of the most diff
cult problems to be dealt with WAS this
one. We found the Levee Company III
possession of franchise giving them
the right to construct all the levees III
the State, and providing for the levy
of d tag of three mills ON all the
property therein. This right to last tor
twenty-one years from 1871. The work
done by them to be paid tor at tIe rsste
of fifty cents q cubic yard. The cUm-
pauy made claim against the State Tor
81 500. 900, or thereAbOuts, for work
which they alleged to have been done.
They made claim to the arreared tax,
and their claim WAS evidenced up to
1874 by vouchers, which had been au
aiteil under al act of 1876, aud alnoun
1ed to 81 100000. Under the provisions
Of the act of 1877, all claims growing
out uf this auditing and these vouchers
we're waived. The entire question WAS
Temitted to the courts, not only SD as to
The States liability tor work done, but
aleu as to whether work had been done,
and whether, if done, tbe contract with
the company was legal, and 1t legal,
whether it imposed any other OOilgil-
tion ON the State than that Of paying
over to the levee company the tax al
ready levied. True, sir the tax under
the Levee Company act has continued
during this year, but it WAS because the
company had, under its charter, antici
p stel the tax in part. With this year
this tax disappears, and who can cal
culate tho benefits resulting to the peo-
pie by the change? Having abolished
the Levee Company by the .cempro-
mise already referred to, in its stead
the Board of Engineers was organized,
saving in salaries alone aver the Levee
Company act the sum shown by the
Flowing table: a.

sl,e Board of Engineers. How has this
beer donea They have built, an their
report shows, fairly distributed, ,03O, 900
cubic yards for $242, 800, al, average of
less than 22S cents per yard, which
would have cost the State under fhe
Levee Company act $685. 900, u saving
ON tbs work done last yearo of $272,500
/ have neglected tO mention the re-
gaAizatiOn Of the board by the act of
1878. The experiment which it makes
will, ] trust, prove the solution of the
hitherto iifsoinble psObleni OF leyers,

tricts having a common lnterpat and II

REFoRAs IN THE PARISHES.
Having thus stated generally the
legislation tleviaed for the relief Of the
State, what, sir, has been done for the
parishes Their local governments
have s,ts,n entirely porganized. Addi-
tional police jslrnrs have been appointed
30 rs to give representation TO I'LL cias-
ses in every parish. Who, sir, can cal
eulate the heneiit which has resulted
frons this legislation IN every parish.
where extrayagauce aud apoliati0n had
existed, sloE economy and order reign.
Not ouiy has this provision been made
for the present. hut the ms,sie and man
ner of election has been defined for the
future. Net content with the creation
of good local governments, any possible
abuse 0f ptswer hy these local govern
naenta has been iealufsly guarded for
the future-.tirst. by limiting the rate ef
taxation second ty limiting absolutely
their appropriations TO their revenue;
third, ly forbitidiHg the creation of
debt, the issue OF evidence of debt iii
any manner, nnd by the repeal af tile
law known as tile Judgment tax law.

But, air, the advantages already ob-
tanned not only consist in the present
and prospective decrease in taxation.
They also are represented by the inn
proveIuent in the financial condition of
the State, for general fund wal rants for
the first time in years have been Il re-
preventative of value, and whilst know
that many difficulties have yet to he
overcome, that much fOrtitude is yet to
he exercised, but with them and time
the path to relief lies open before US.

and have their financial affairs on bet
