A DisgraCeful Scandal.

When the fountain head of a
stream is corrupted the whole bo-
dy must of necessity be in an i'm
pure state. When bribery is be-
lieved to exist in the highest posi-
tons, is it any wonder that it
reaches and permeates every poll
tical body in the state. A recent
event occurred wherein member
of the police jury in his acts esta-
blishes beyond peradventure the
proposition above submitted.
The facts as related to us, and
vouched for, are: Mr.. J. o. Bour-
der and Mr.. Jules Rousseau were
applicants for the position of par
ish treasurer. The fight was close,
and it was a toss-up who would
get the prize. 1t was fumored
that, Mr.. Prosper Patin. the MEM
Der of the police Jury from the
fifth ward, was. up to eight
o'clock, in favor of Jules Rous-
seau, when the vote Of the body
was cast Mr.. Patin voted for Mr..
Bourdier. 1t is openly stated, that
Mr.. Albert Martin was seen to
pass a paper to Mr.. Patin, which,
it is said, contained an offer of
S11O to Mr.. Patin, per year, if he
would vote for Rousseau. 1t seems
that Mr.. Martin does not deny
these allegations but says, in JUS
LITIGATION, that Bourdier's friends
had offered 500 and he only took
the same means to protect the in
terests of his candidate. Since
then ordinations and recrimina-
tions have been rife, and the end,
it would appear, is not yet.
The Messenger is pleased to
note that rumor connects only the
names here mentioned as invol-
we'd in this scandal.
After awhile the people will get
tired Of Foster tactics and sweep
the rascals into well-merited obi
Won.
