SEEKING INFORMATION

The Governor has addressed a
communication to the presidents of
police juries throughout the State
requesting information on the fol
lowing subjects:
l. The rate OF parish school tax
in each of your respective parishes
for the ten years ending December
81, 1879; the amount thereof col
lected for each year, the disposition
made Of school moneys, and the
number and character of public
schools maintained.
2. The parish school tax late for
1880, and the estimated total re-
ceipts therefrom, including poll
tax.
8. The rate of parish levee tax.
If any, aud amount received each
year for the same, and the general
disposition of the same.
4. The rate of parish taxes for all
purposes except school and levees,
and the disposition of the proceeds.
5. The present condition of your
parish in point of good order, pros
perity and industry, i'll comparison
with tie same from 1870 to 1876,
both inclusive.
6. Such other general information
as you may see tit to add respecting
the resources of your parish and
its attractions for immigrants seek
ing homes in the Southwest.

strict account for their conduct, any
.dlsobedienee on their part to De
visited with condign punishment
perhaps expulsion from church, or
something of that sort. But til ere
are many colored voters in the
parish who vote the Democratic
ticket, and the number is increas-
ing every year, hence We cannot
conceive what the object is in seud-
ing the names of all the colored
voters to Republican headquarters,
unless some counting on. scheme Is
on foot. or contest is anticipated,
in which event the colored voters
are all to numbered as Republicans.

If the Republicans are nnsuccess-
full in the elections that come off
this month, the likelihood is that
they will endeavor to strengthen
their side by converting the LeSis-
la:ures of several States and electing
Garfield electors before the Novem-
Der election. This would be a legal
way to get around the will
of the majority, while it would
be the very essence of political vii
iainy. The Republicans regard
their success above every other con-
alteration, and they will resort to
any measure, no matter how dis
honorable, to save themselves from
defeat.

One argument used by the New
Orleans press against the removal
of the Capitol to Baton Rouge, was
that New Orleans was the only city
ta&t lsad great independent press,
to keep the politicians and public
officers straight. The way the city
papers nosed out the Gauthreaux
defalcation shows how much there
was in that argument.

JunS that swallowed whale. In
the last issue of the Courier we find
the following:
Our assistant, Mr. White, was
threatened with an attack of his
old enemy, the govt. but lie man
ged TO kick him out.
Some people would think, from
the above, that iona was accus-
toned to high living; but he has

For many w airy months the de-
falcation of Gauthreaux has been
going on, without the great daily
papers Of the city saying q word
about it. The question now arises.
whether the managers of the city
press don't know enough to publish
paper and give the public the
news, or whether they are without
the newspaper courage to publish
az ugly truth about 4 favorite of the
Volunteer Fire Department. 1t is
solemn thing for New Orleans
that both these questions must be
answered in the affirmative.

GETTING AND GIVING.
Or the Dry Pump.
BY MRS. L. CRARY sADLER.

A faithful pump stood by the road,
As it had stood so long;
But hours had passed since any one
Had pumped the handle strong.
4 traveller, tired and dusty, spied
The pump. And now" said he,
'.Tll qpench my thirst and rest awhile
Beneath yon shady tree"
He grasped the handle; up and down
1t moved, but moved in vain;
Not one cool drop from that deep well
Could he bring up again.
..Say, stranger" cried saucy boy.
Have you just come 70 town?
If you would pump. some water up.
You'll have to pour some down =
Thus if from life we good would get.
We surely irst must give.
Who have this lesson yet to learn,
Have yet to learn to live.

Democrats returning to Indianap-
oils from stumping tours through
out the State claim the election of
Landers by 10000 plurality. Lam
ders himself thinks these figures
will be found nearly correct. The
furious attack which the Republi
cans have made on their opponents
for advocating free trade will not
make or break either side. Attempts
on the part of Republican manufac-
turers to coerce their employees have
caused considerable ill-feeling
among workingmen. The Demo
cratic managers claim to be in pos
session of absolute proof of the ex-
istence of Republican colonization
schemes, and threaten to have the
rim, ,aders arrested under the Fed
eral law. This week will witness
the close of the oratorical CAM
paign.

some of the wards, and perhaps i'll

learn that in some portions OF the

A member of the Board of Con-
trol has recently visited the con-
Viet camp. and investigated the
killing of Berkery by one of the
guards. The report of this investi-
cation is published, and of course
clears everybody but the dead man
Of al blame. The testimony to es-
tablish this point was entirely fur
nished by the guards and peniten-
lary employees. We submit that
this examination and report is not
such as the people of the State de-
mand. Let us have clear show
ing up of tins penitentiary business.
What right have the lessees of the
Penitentiary TO place the convicts
where they have an opportunity to
escape, and then shoot them foI
trying it? Ii the lessees have :!
contract to work the convicts out
side, when was it made and who
made it? Does it run for one year,
Or O thousand? And is there any
law authorizing such outside work:
These are the points the people
want to know, and not the opinions
of the guards, who are paid to shoot
the prisoners when they try to es-
cape. 1t is our opinion that the
:lessees are operating under con-
tract or agreement made with War
moth, which years ago terminate
;by it's own provisions, and that the
prisoners are being worked outside
of the Penitentiarv buildings in vio-
:lation of positive law. Let us have
"a report full and complete, without
any whitewash.

Grant has at last pat his foot in
it. The Cincinnati Gazette, of the
9th inst, publishes aa interview
between Rev. c. Fl. FoEle., D.. d. i,
and Grant, in which the latter
casts some very serious rehectio rs
upon the character of Gen. Han
cock. Grant gave the Rev. MIR.
Fowler written consent to have the
interview published. Gen. Han
cock has expressed his intention to
publish a general denial of the as
sertions contained in the reported
interview, as soon as he can hear
from Gr-nt personally. and declares
he will lose no time in sitting the
matter to the bottom. The Chicago
Inter Ocean publishes an interview
with Grant, respecting tie inter
view published by the Cincinnati
Gazette, III which he says: Though
it is In most respects correct 1t
contains also many mistakes, and
makes me say things l.. u way not
intended, and use some language
that / did not employ" ibis is
direct reflection upon the veracity
of the Rev. G. II. Fowler, ID. ID.
1t is now in order for the reverend
gentleman to clear himself from the
charge of having made false state
ments in his report of his interview
with Grant. This he will doubtless
proceed to do at once, as the Rev.
Mr. Foml er is one of the leading
and most influential meL bers of the
Methodist Church, and cannot af-
ford to stand still under the weight
IF such serious charge as that of
having borne false witness against
his neighbor." With Gen. Han
cock ON one side, and the Rev. Mr.,
Fowler on the other, Grants pres
ent position is not a very enviabls
one. He has, to all appearances,
put his foot in it" In TACT, it
