THE question of Ievying the privilege tax
for Montgomery county, comes up before
the County Court next Monday, and whilst
we de not propose to dictate to the court,
we would suggest that the privileges in
many cases almost amount to a prohibition.
The court is composed of good, honest and

question is brought to their attention, they
will do what is right in the premises.

NEARLY or quite all of the witnesses thu
far examined in the Spofford- election con
tests, were members of the Packard Legis
ature. Every one of these members con
fesses himself guilty of crimes of which
imprisonment in the penitentiary is the
punishment prescribed by law. With an
effrontery that would shame the devil these
villains confess that as members of the
Legislature they accepted brides, and that
since that time they voluntarily sought
opportunities to commit perjury. One man
testified that he committed perjury three
times, having no other object in view than
ito learn how atfidavits were made" 1t is
perhaps needless to state that these crea-
lures are Louisiana Republicans-of the
kind that madeup the Packard Legislature,
and swore Mr. r. B. Hayes into the presi-
dency of the United States. But this story
of human perfdy and depravity is not
yet finished. These witnesses, voluntarily
testified before New Orleans authorities
that they were either paid for their support
of Kellogg, or counted as among his sup
porters when the fact was that they were
not present; and they started from New
Orleans, solemnly ayowing their purpose 10
repeat the same testimony on their
arrival in Washington. But on leaving
New Orleans two of Keloggs strikers were
seen to board the cars with them. The
shameless recantation of their New Or.
leans affidavits, and the substitution of the
most transparent and self-contradictory
falsehoods, tell, as plainly as words can tell,
how foully they were corrupted by the KEEL
logg strikers while en- route for Washing
ton. Without any prctense that their New
Orleans dispositions were purchased or
given under duress, they unblushingly con-
tess that they causelcssly and wickedly
hunted up the opportunity to periurc them
selves And it is upon the testimony Of
such men rs these, and upon records made
by such men, that William Pitt Kellogg is
trying to defend his right to the seat he
disgraces in the Senate of the United States.
1t is a sickcning spectacle to honest men,
and presents Repub!icanism in Louisiana
in lis true colorS.

MEMPHIS and New Orleans are crcmat
ting such of their pestilence- breeding ora
as can readily be disposed Of in that way
and the balance is either buried or thrown
into the river. A few cases OF malarial
fever havr been reported; but the health
officers protest most solemnly that there
has not been case of sickness in either city
that has been characterized by any symp'
toms that argued the presence of the yellow
fever poison. AS the time Of year for the
appearance of the scourgc is now near at
hand, alarming reports will probably reach
us every day. Sporadic cases may occur
They do, almost every year, but as they
cause no alarm in the South, we should, at

them with indifference, if we give them Q

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, June 0, 1870.

NASHlNuioN, june ", lSiU.
The desire among congressman to get
away from Washington for the season is
very great. Senators and representatives
are leaving every day. The vote day on
important questions connected with the ap-
preparation bill and the Warner coinage
bill will therefore be small. 1t is impossi
bic to form any accurate idea of the course
legislation on these subjects will take, but
the probability is that both the appropria-
ton bills will speedily pass the house, and,
on some day of the present week will pass
the senate. There is of course no valid
reason for Il veto, no bills ever introduced
being less subject to criticism except as to
the unnecessarily large amounts appropria-
ted, but it is not likely that Mr. Hayes will
vetoe them. The radicals, and among
them we must now count Mr.. Hayes, have,
however, a habit Of fighting anything that
is Democratic, and veto of the ten com.
mandmehts, if presented by a Democrat
and endorsed by Democratic committee,
and passed, as OF course they would be, by
IL solid Democratic vote over factious radi.
cal opposition, would be promptly vetoed

safeguard against unheathful influences,
