purporing to BE- the proceedings, {. q q mass

of giving expression to the sentiment Of the
people Of that ward with regard to the candidate
nominated for the office OF Clerk OF the Court OF
the Parish of st. Bernard by the Democratic
Parish Nominating Convention. avail myself
medium the slauderous assertions contained IN
the above mentioned article or proceedings.
The right Of the people of the Filth WARD TO
express themselves for or against candldate
is not denied. and especially In the case OF the
candidate for the clerkship. inasmucn as the
delegates representing said ward ia the Dem,
oeratic Parish Nomilating Conventl9n voted
blank on the candidacy for Clerk OF Court.
Knowing the individual who signs the ABOVE
mentioned proceedings % have inst1gated the
expressions used In the said list of proceed

right OF expressing the sentiments OF all the
Democrats of this parish with regard to the
nomination of Clerk of Court, unless 1nst1gated
vidual signing himself as president Of the mass
meeting held in the Fifth Ward. | therefore;
without denying the right Of the Democrats OF
the Fifth Ward expressing their dlsapproVal o.
my nomination, do most soemniy deny tnelf
right of expressing for all the Democrats OF
my nomination. But entertaining the highest
regard for the people Of the Fifth Ward, and
feeling confident that the whole transaction was
consummated through the Vaccinations OF y

4 New England States are oppos.

The New England States are opposed to
biennial sessions OF the Legislature. Bien-
NAL sessions are now almost universal In this
colntry, even New York having adopted this
new and economical plan In the past year. On
the other hand, Connecticut voted, last
month, In favor Of annual sessions by a
heavy majority, and Massachusetts,. to whose
people this question was submitted last
Tuesday, also opposed any change from
The old system. AS the New England Legis-
1atures are very large bodies, numbering sew
aral Kindred members, the cost Of 9 session

aoance is believed to be that every man In
these States expects, some time Or otner' 20

year by the payment to the State Of the dues
of the Illinois Central Railroad. This rail-
road has proved perfect bonanza to the
State. When the bill for the creation OF this
road was before the Illinois Legislature
Senator Douglas affixed provision By which
Instead Of paying taxes 1t should pay In lieu
thereof seven per cent of its gross receipts
every year. The sum received by the State
from the railroad has been yearly increasing
and has gradually wiped out the State debt
When this Is gone, as 1t will be within year
It Is thought that the road will yield suffi
Client revenue to carry on the ordinary ez
penHes Of the government, thus doing away
with the necessity for levying any STATE
