n@%The committee appointed by
tho Magyar of New Orleans to con-
slider plan to settle the debt oil
the city called on this gentleman
on Monday last for the purpose OF
consulting with him on the subject.
The meeting was at first quite un-
satisfactory, no bill or definite pro-
position being offered or advanced,
and only a general discussion OF the
financial affairs of the city occur
ring. In an informal way, how
ever, it seemed to be agreed upon
that the best policy to pursue, Tor
the time being, would be the STOP
rage of the payment of interest On
all the bonds issued by the city.
and that the revenues OF the corr
poration lie applied to the running
expenses of the city government.
After the meeting broke up the
gentlemen present INDUCED in an
other general conversation, which
was close byd The declaration O
Mayor Patton, that at this point O.
the affairs of the city, the hes
course that might be adopted b!
the administration would probabl!
be a contes! alton before the court
of the validity of all the bond
t heretofore Issued by the cityEwhic

lion. B. f. Jonas has been chosen to
represent the Pelican State in the Ma

wisdom in their selection among host

ioice over Mr.? jonas election from the
fact that he is one of the small band OF
true patriots and unfiinching democrats
who, by their firm resistance of the cor

n@The majority report OF the
Senate Judiciary Committee, on
the Lottery Repeal bill which was
submitted 10 that body on the 18th
ult., is an elaborate and able one
and containing many wise ana
cogent reasons why this monopoly
should be abolished. The names
| OF the gentlemen signing the report
are Messrs. Zacherie. Ducros,
Wills, Stubbs, Heron and Ellis,
and the substance Of the same is as
follows: That in their opinion the
present Lottery institution Is
standing reproach to the State, ano,
in it's effect upon society, can on
" be compared to a malignant can
Ger which is eating out the very
vitals of the morals of the people.
They have examined the law of the
case, and believe that a manifest
right exists in the Legislature to
repeal, at any time, the grant Of
o any franchise, whether in the form
of contract or otherwise, when the
o same is contra bonos naores. Iha)
1t such a statute confers mo vestec
% rights which cannot be Invested %!
= legislative act they think plain b!
at very elemental principle OF law
st and that all contracts against goo
% morals, if not absolutely void, ar
of at least voidable.
s, Perhaps the principle has neVe
r. been applied more frequently an
hs plainly than to gaming contracts

ar of decisions of the Supreme Cour
ees of the various States upon the SUI

U@The hard times that the country IS
passing through makes.,ssgood times and
plenty of work in tho land office. just
now there is perfect rush for public
lands, thousands coming to the conclu-
sion that it will pay better to secure a
homestead IN the West than it will to
hang around the crowded cities. In this
they are moro than half right. 1t is esti'
mated that the number of settlements
will nearly double those of last year
This increase is so large that it keeps
that Office hard at work. The Govern

USELESS IND EXPENSIVE OFFICE

At last member oe our
legislature hos introduced a
bill to abolish the useless and
expensive office of Tax Collec-
tor. The Democratic party
was, by unanimous votes IN
convention assembled, in jan
,,ary, 1876. pledged to this
measure of reform, and alike
pledged to the same measure
in each subsequent conven-
ton and now, when the peo-
pie have Indignantly voted
down the constitutional amend
ments proposed by the last
legislature. and have determ-
med they will have retrench~
ment and reform to the fullest
extent, the present legislature,
through one of its members,
proposes to abolish the Office
of Tax Collector, which has
cost the State thousands upon
thousands. Will they abolish
the office or will they say il
. must remain Sto reward the
} men who work for the par
. . ty 2 as was the cry Of some o
the wise men Of the last leg
It islature. Well, it matters no
# whether the legislature shall
- do this wise act or not. Th'
:. people. in their sovereign ca
pacity, will send men to franz
d a. constitution for the Stat
i which will render it powerles
1T for future legislatures to Great
o. useless and expensive Offices
of this character, for all com

"As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm,

contempt of that large-minded gentle
nan is SO willing, his naughty disdain,
his grandiloquent swell, his majestic,
supereminent, overpowering, turkey
gobbler's strut has been so crushing to

that I know it was an act of great tenn
Gritty for me to enter upon a controv-
ersy with him. l know that within the
last five weeks, as members of the house
will recollect, an extra strut has char
acterized the gentleman's bearing. It
is not his fault; it is the fault Of an
other. That gifted and satirical writ
or. Theodore Tilton, Of the New York
Independent, spent some weeks in this
city. His letters, published in that
paper, embraced, with many serious
statements, a little jocose satire, a part
of which was the statement that the
mantle of the late Winter Davis had
fallen upon the member from New York.
The gentleman took it seriously, and it
has given his strut additional pompos-
ity. The reese mblance is great. n.y.
perion to Satyr; Thersites to Hercules;

puppy to a roaring lion. Shades of the

1t Is only a wonder that the form of
