We noticed, some days ago, the remarkable
Rsoolamatien OF the ofIiceholders of the par
Rsh of Avoyelles, who declared that they
wuuld exert their influence to defeat any can
didate for the constitutional convention that
did not pledge himself to vote against any
measure looking TO a removal Of the officials
al the State until they had served out the
snll terms for which they had boon elected, In
other words, they claimed that they had q
vested right In the offices TO which they were
caected. and were unwilling to surrender
chem even to constitutional convention.
The audacty Of such a proclamation is I'M
nR.;.llciad. Here were the officials Of par
fsh. the servants of the people, debating in
eheir official character 20 the people what they
ahould and what they should not do. But
ehis Is not all. Not content with their at
seanpt to dominate and control the politics of
Ayoyelles, the public officials Of that parish
prppose union or club of all the officials of
9he State against the people, for their con-
Gnuance In office. 10 this end they have for
warded copies OF their proclamation TO the
officials of the other parishes, requesting their
endorsement Of it, They have even caused II
anbe inserted in several Of the country papers.

Some time ago we ventured to inquire
where the money came from to pay the enor-
nous expenses necessarily incurred by these
prosecutions, and suggested that the inquiry
might be an interesting one for Congress TO
make. II viii be remembered that Devens
In his report. and Hayes In his message, both
stated that the fund granted the Department
Of Justice Tor this purpose, az well as all the
contingent fund Of that department, had been
exhausted. and they both confidently" asked
Of Congress deficiency fund Of 100000, TO
enable the executive to enforce the laws"
OF course the Democratic House paid no at
tention to this impertinent demand, nor Is
there the slightest possibility Of the Senate
amendment ever passing the House. Yet these
costly proceedings have gone on, marshals
have been sent all over the country and pris-
oners and witnesses have been brought here
from remote parishes by the hundreds. OF
course all the expenses of these persons had
to be paid IN cash. OF course. also, the money
came out of the United States treasury and
out of funds devoted by Congress to other and
specific purposes Hayes and Devens both
have notified Congress that the only fund they
