Warmoth. foil Governor of this State, being guilty of vari- 9 ous gross outrages in violating the Constitu- tin 1 tion and trampling under foot the laws he rup took a solemn oath to see faithfully executed, tee, as well as perpetration of the most serious am, frauds upon the treasury of the State, and I eorruption in office in levying black-mail mo upon numerous citizens of the State, and anc many other acts of malfeasance, misfeasance, im earruption and oppression in office, I most inte respectfully beg leave to submit the follow- to tug charges against staid official, to 'it: ,an 1. Sections 96, 97 of the Constitution thu provide that the Governor, Leiutenant Gov- ernor, Secretary of State. Auditor, Treasur- a bi er, Attorney General and Superintendent of Act Education, fur any malfeasance in office, shag first be impenohed by your honorable the officer thus impeached s alD bO'7e-5t par the Senate; and, *"upon conviction" by that Mr. honorable body, he shall be dismissed from mot office; *"but the covicted party, after being his stripped of the robes of office, shall never- 11 theless be subject to criminal prosecution for Fri, any offence he may have committed, as an beft inividual against the laws of his State. Fri The evident intention of the framers of the trac constitution was to allow no interference by pay any court with a State officer until your hon- whi orable body had prepared articles of impe- vets achmeat against him, and the Senate had hon pronounced him guilty of high crimes and I misdemanuors, and had dismissed him from not g•. e. sigi In flagrant violation of the plain letter that and spirit of the constitution, Governor oltN Warmotb, on or about the.25th of March, 1; 1889, dragged me, a constitutional officoer of seas the State, before the Criminal Court of the that First District, and compelled me to undergo man an ignominious trial before that court, which lust had qo jurisisdiction in the premises. ld Cognizant of the pretended facts (as was 1, there and then proved by several of his own Staf witnesses,) witlhn four days after the open- of o ing of the last session of your honorable pos body, but not daring to bring the matter be- thea fore your honorable body, as was his plain cit duty under the constitution, he allowed the adjurnmeet,wben he immediately dragged me J. I before the afore*said court; where, after a andt fall hearing of all the evideno6 he could rake up by means of bribery, money and threats, oat I wap twice emorably acquitted by a nsy of bo, of my own countrymen, and he bafled in his and c aesmptsto tramp!e on all the constitutional rightso f the people of our State, and to rob u and pleader the teaussry ad libitum. c 2. Not sstlseed with thus outragng allB deoeney, and violating my own and the ace rights of a free people, and utterly regard- Sless of the interests of the State, he hurled T apes ar his Metropolitan Police, (which in rig your 1inooeace of his designs you placed at wet his disposal,) drove me from my office to 1 which the people of our State elected me, deli I took forelble possession of all its books and pro archives and my personal effects, ransacked chi and plundered at his will, and stopped the ofSi ' whole ierv of the State gevernment, for imem•sely damaging the State. tw Ater holding violeat and fraudulent pos-S , session of my office for nearly two months, ap_ he only relinquished unlawful possession tor when the verdicts of the juries and the prie- to, e sere of public setimesnt warned him thathe is eeoid so isager trample on the rights of an -Yu oatraged people with impualty. re 3. Not amtised with the commission of b san Gou rg, ie, he the month of November, Ig,, again dragd me before tbhe same court, and by the aid of certain corrupt smat -o hers of the grand jury of the parish .of th- o h-es,. attempted to agan pe trate t or- ame outrage ,poet me as a Stae official. or o Hs being this time more fully f by the officers of t law, e th " was agaein thwarted in his sees against wi i•s the State and aainst myself. tb S4. In thie lst ase, ot satied with at- tb " te i to drug me into a trial against a law, t'uhis corrupt official attempted, tbrough l bishreliag spy, ot. upshots. to get certain ei |.ela who were then confned tn the Par- gi P-si... to perjore themselves by swear- l np f e"1Y agtainst ime, promiof them to a4 save them from the penaltes otbh law if T 1tey wold help bim to convict me of frauds ft La. pes the treasury. But finding that I had oasred positive proof against him tor sub- -, ermation of peory.- he rapidly withdrew b from that dangerous scheme. SHe also violated the law ie was sworn jm o asenati roiecting one Gee. Dearing, i I em" wo w air dic6d by the granl jory for ! " trx ia the State, iurefsing to allow - P-- de~ r toarreasthim when hefound said1 SDeming in the Qveraor's ofce, where he i A- pa4 .bo sb eew ; dealrlI g that as the Gov- t-u erneA the ashtsh was reoponsible for' - that man, Uase wanted to use him, and offer- . i ig money to the officer to indace him to desist and say nothing about it. And so; securely bas be secreted said Dearing since, that the officers of the law have not been able; to find him. 6. During my first trial before thie First i District Court one- was in the Parish I Prison, under sentence to the penitentiary. When his lawyer applied to Gor. Warmoih f to have hissentence commuted from imprison- ment in the penitr.ntiary to imprisonment in the Parish Prison, he demanded $1000 in Smoney, and that the criminal should swear to certain things which he would tell him I *.gaiust G. M. Wickliffe, as the conditions upon which he would comply with the pil- a oner's request. The attorney, being an a honorable man and a Christian, would not v allow his client to comply with such infamous n demands. b 7. The law prescribing the duties of the a Auditor of Puolic Accounts, declares that tl "the Auditor shall reside at the seat of gov- ti ernment, and shall keep his office in the y State nouse." re being no provision . uade by law for ' s.taying longer at the ce office where I had been located during the 1a year in obedience to the law governing my hi . office, I moved into the the State House, and finding suitable rooms, proceeded to open si my office. The Governor, finding that I had w y, done so, immediately gathered his Prpetorian tL n guard of police and stopped me from convey- th ing up anything more, threw the books, pa- be pers and archives of the State into the la street, drove me out of my 0,ffice in open as r- violation of the orders of the Sixth District th t- Court, refused to allow me to re-enter my n otffice, and, throwing the property of the State re into wagons, in his hurry to aeoomplish his th purpose before the Sherff could stop him, ap . caused great damage to the furniture and thi e archives of the office and the loss of many 20 valuable portions of the same. yti 8. Whilst thus busy in attempt ing to accomplish his pretended desire to punish a me corrupt official, as ishis excuse for his high- Or handed outrages against law and justice, he bit w ma not unmindful of personal gain, and was daily guilty of the most fagrant acts of cor- dei ruption. At the last session of your honor- the able body he successfully manipulated sun- wa t dry bills, so as to delay their passage till hem t',o very last moments of the session, thus all securing the power to sighn them at his of i leisure during the balance of the year, after out he had squeezed the last dollar out of the unl parties interested in securing his signature. to 1 Among many such acts of corruption of which this official is guilty I enumerate the E1 following: by 9. For his signature to the bill iecorp6ra- ing ting the Slaughter gouse Comnpany he cor- oo ruptly demanded ard received three-thir- ed teenths of one-half of all the capital stock, moi amounting to 2300 alares, or $230,000. and 10. He corruptly received a large sum of nig money, as well as promises of political asist- the ance, to veto the Shin Island Canal bill, and, 2 immediately after vetoing the same, he went oil into the Legislatare and did all in his rower ing to pass the bill over his veto, for which he by was paid by the Ship Island Canal Company. fer thus receiving pay from both sides. you 11. The General Assembly having passed 2 a bill for the relief of J. C. Kathman (see eral Act 213, of 1868 ) Ippropiating for that pur- hop pose $110670, he yefused to sign that bill wih par oF t ap , a - 1IIMIu u[, Mr. Kathman of that amount, which War- nee moth corruptly demanded and received for 2 his signature. crez 12. He coruptly demanded of Patrick bor Fritzel six levee bonds, amounting to $9000. bon before he would sign the bill giving said the Fritzel extra compensation for loss on con- her tract, and because said Fritzel would not 1 pay his exorbitaut price, he vetoed the bill, ceri which your honorable body parsed over his can veto by an overwhelming majority of both inte h•nngma In short, his conduct in this respect is so U notorious that it can be roved that he never Stat signed a bill ofpecuniary btnefit to any one mat' that be Jid not demand and receive money or appl other consideration for his signatere. and 13. For his signature to bill No. 127, of allej session of 1869. he showed more conclusively sem than ever the infamy of his nature by de- said manding for his signature the sacrifice to his had lust of the virture of a young and beautiful bon lady who had interceded in its behalf. 48, 14. He, assisted by others, defrauded the 2 State okover $90.000 in their manipulation 185: of the •1.586,000 worth of levee bonds dis- .lec posed ofi n New York at 51& cents, when Huo they were tffered 57 cents for them in this ragi city to negotiate them. 653t 15.

He defraded the State of$142,740 by furt Souttig off overde eeapons from the levee bonds disposed of by him and hie committee, br and never accouting for the same. boL 17. He defrauded the State of $8640 by cutting off overdue coupon's from the Red I Book Bonds, delivered to him b y me in stilt acoordasee with Jint resolution No. 48 ofin 1869, and ever saeonnting for the same. I Thoujh neither he nor anuee else had the in t right to out of said coupops. as said bonds the t weoe only pledged and not sold. 3 0 18. In violation of law.he has refused to $1E deliver bonds to the Auditor to have them a properly- registered and delivered to those mo; claiming them.

First, by inaugmrtiag this tic a system of not requirig bonds to be ofcially am registered, designing persons may forge pu Df bonds on the State of Louisiana for any po r, 0iount. The State having no official record to of suoh debt, it is impossibre to tell bow many i n_ bonds have been issued, what are their r- numbers, and to whom they were paid. So . the State may issue one million of dollars. to or there may be torged clime in this form us of untold millions .gainst the State, and as there is no official record, no one can tell m, at which is genuine and which spurious, and pa the tax payers will at last have to pay all of it- these bonds. Second. there being no oftsial wi all record, coupons over-due may be cut off by di gh such law-disregardli oolfals as ourPresent m tin executive, and appropriated to their own a ar- gain, all of which the State most pay, as she t ar- has no data from which to calculate the es- ol to act amopant of interest due on the bonds. , if Third, coupons without nuSmbetr •y be n ads forged, and the State thus again be defraud- d lad ed of millions more.

Let this official pursue e high-handed coarse nl this matter he has, orn inaugrated sand oar States must sink under g. iher load of ever iuereasiag debt.

Act No. 15, of 1866, provides that the cep creditors of the State may exchange matured whO bonds and over-due coupons for red back ticu bonds, tius, whilst the State could not pay the principal, she might pay the interest of her debt. This was but just to the creditor, as he is 1 certainly entitled to his interest if the State Iect cannot pay the principal; and is of vital of t interest to the preservation of the State Chi credit. of d Upon application from the creditors of the ame State for such bonds in excltange for the and matured bonds and over-due coppons, I gun applied to the Governor to issue the bonds. clar and he positiiely refused to obey the law, be t F alleging as an eceese that the General As- aembly desired or were disposed to repudiate said part of the State debt.

Hier HyDRATat or CHALL.LO--From a sketch any in the Cincinnati Commercial. we gather the a i tellowiag facts about a remedy which prom- i der' ites greatly to benefit manklud.

Au- and more tranquil character than opium or, ame morhbine produces. with none of the head- a of aches or nausea that so often follows the ube ople 'f these well known hypotics. - aBorne nteresting and Thrilling Fact About the Chinese. t- Our neighbors of the .Nw Iberia Times, e though favoring Chinese labor in Louisiana, in have the frankness to publish the folbwing id letter, which one of the editors of that st4r- ; ling journal lately received from a friend in i California: ' ie But there is one thing in your ir paper I would like to see corrected. You I said only about- one-tenth of the people of I if California opposed Chinese immigration, sad I it they were mostly Irish. Now that is not so. I but the reverse. Searcly any one wants e then,, and if the people could, they would i d shi t , the last one out of the State. You . think the negroes are bad, but the Chinese It are much worse. You cannot depend on g them for anything; they will lie, steal, mur- der and rob, and nine-tenths of their women a are prostitutes. A more lewd, degraded Jr e ot eJans d•os apt inhabit any part of t.4 AI 'it. t ay s L** Maha l..F u not seen them. You will rue the day they 1 conmo among you, if they ever do. I speak s from experience. There are plenty of hbem e f here, and still coming, and there is no one a here but what would gladly get rid of them fi on any terms, except contractors on the pub- ti lie works, and they will stick to them as lonpg Itl as they cah. Cbinamen are the greatest - drain the State has to her wealth. Every- fI thing they eat, drink or wear comes from w China, and the money goes from here to pay pi for it. You say you must have help to till |e you soil. I say till what you can, and for hi God's sake, and the sake of humanity, let the Chinese alone. The dark side of this picture is now com- an ing in full view. The people begin to under- L stand it. The reports from congressmen and rairoad agents who have gone to California monopolists and labor contractors for infor- CI mation on this subject, are at length pretty a well understood. The Chinese mistleto is sucking the very all life blood fr ,m Califorua. No wonder the si citizens of that State call it the Chinese rin- h,, derpest. to 'e CHEAP CHINESE LABOR. A An exchange, speaking of cheap Chinese for n r labor, says: This d They wtil not work for a pittance, but Ti wil demand the ordinary wages. Mr. John a e: d G. Walker, who has charge of the Chinese low- under contraet to work on railroadh in Texas, in a communication to the St. Louis Repub- Blt, q lican, says: gra There is little prospect at present that coml If John will tresapass upon the claims of Sam- Ii be to any serious extent. Those who have hand i held out hopes of procuring very cheap labor barb by importing it from the shores of Eastern Pric Asia, are, I think, mistaken in their coaolo- monm sioc. From one end of China to the other, and * the value of labor in America, aeqprding to their the California standard, is well known; and, with although labor in China is very cheap, able- three i bodied men will not engage to expatriate clear themselves for a series of years, except on II condition of receiving such high wages as one I Chinese laborers for agricultural work, ex- Soept at the regular wages of the country where the labor is to be performed; and par- If& k ticularly this is the case for railroad labor. and I A dispatch in one of the city papers, dated labo Jackson, Miss.. Jan. 19, says: s The. eminent missionary, Paul Bagley. C a lectured here last night, upon an invitation e e l of the Legislature. The subject was on the able s Chinese.

I can get you a quantity, say 50, farmi hands for you and friends in your i.eigh borhood, partof them if wanted, familic.

We earnestly call on all experienced jlantors and farmers, ia the parish of Iberia, to write out correct and brief certificates of the yield of the different products of our pariah, stock-raiiiig; the profits, etc., and any thing that will be cal- culated to encosrage immigration. This map and circular will be sent free, all over the United States and Europe, and will to doubt bring thousand of intelligent and thrifty tillers of the soil among u's; as well as large amounts of capital. that will make this *,naturally beautiful country," bloom with proserity and wealth. Let our parish be wei represeated in this circular, every land owner is deeply inel, eted in it, and should be alive to having our already thrifty parish well represented. Any certificates. fetters or anything ofimportanca- for the cir- cular, sbeaM be bent to, within the next ten days. Capt. Lombard will receive and for- ward oomonctitos for the circular, to Col.

x; IMPEACHMENT OF BOV. WARMOTH. ol

Charges Preferred Against Him-Bribery, diFraud, Corruption and Seduction

S Alleged.

The following charges against Gov. War-moth, we copy from the New Orleans Bullse- C

i.tin, of the 2d inst. Though Wickliffe is in of-all respects as vile a robber as Warmoth, his i: charges against Warmoth, under existing ocircumstances, are entitled to considerable ari weight. va

Everybody should read the black cata-logue of charges against the man whom theLegislature wishes to arm with despotic hapower, and in whose hands they propose to weI place the ballot-box of the State. dai

What honest and well informed man now abIquestions the soundness of the BANS.R on drthe carpet-bagger and scalawag question? t .1Who now thinks we ever hit the mule secdrivers too hard? he

Itbeingyour especial perogative, under pathe Constitution of the State, to investigate Anallbharges against constitutional and other wh'State officials, and Henry C. Warmoth. foilGovernor of this State, being guilty of vari- 9ous gross outrages in violating the Constitu- tin1tion and trampling under foot the laws he ruptook a solemn oath to see faithfully executed, tee,as well as perpetration of the most serious am,frauds upon the treasury of the State, and Ieorruption in office in levying black-mail moupon numerous citizens of the State, and ancmany other acts of malfeasance, misfeasance, imearruption and oppression in office, I most interespectfully beg leave to submit the follow- totug charges against staid official, to 'it: ,an1. Sections 96, 97 of the Constitution thu

provide that the Governor, Leiutenant Gov-ernor, Secretary of State. Auditor, Treasur- a bier, Attorney General and Superintendent of ActEducation, fur any malfeasance in office,shag first be impenohed by your honorablethe officer thus impeached s alD bO'7e-5t parthe Senate; and, *"upon conviction" by that Mr.honorable body, he shall be dismissed from motoffice; *"but the covicted party, after being hisstripped of the robes of office, shall never- 11theless be subject to criminal prosecution for Fri,any offence he may have committed, as an beftinividual against the laws of his State. Fri

The evident intention of the framers of the tracconstitution was to allow no interference by payany court with a State officer until your hon- whiorable body had prepared articles of impe- vetsachmeat against him, and the Senate had honpronounced him guilty of high crimes and Imisdemanuors, and had dismissed him from notg•. e. sigi

In flagrant violation of the plain letter thatand spirit of the constitution, Governor oltNWarmotb, on or about the.25th of March, 1;1889, dragged me, a constitutional officoer of seasthe State, before the Criminal Court of the thatFirst District, and compelled me to undergo manan ignominious trial before that court, which lusthad qo jurisisdiction in the premises. ld

Cognizant of the pretended facts (as was 1,there and then proved by several of his own Stafwitnesses,) witlhn four days after the open- of oing of the last session of your honorable posbody, but not daring to bring the matter be- theafore your honorable body, as was his plain citduty under the constitution, he allowed the

adjurnmeet,wben he immediately dragged me J. Ibefore the afore*said court; where, after a andtfall hearing of all the evideno6 he could rake

up by means of bribery, money and threats, oatI wap twice emorably acquitted by a nsy of bo,of my own countrymen, and he bafled in his andc aesmptsto tramp!e on all the constitutionalrightso f the people of our State, and to rob uand pleader the teaussry ad libitum. c

2. Not sstlseed with thus outragng allB

deoeney, and violating my own and the ace

rights of a free people, and utterly regard-Sless of the interests of the State, he hurled Tapes ar his Metropolitan Police, (which in rig

your 1inooeace of his designs you placed at wet

his disposal,) drove me from my office to 1which the people of our State elected me, deli

I took forelble possession of all its books and proarchives and my personal effects, ransacked chi

and plundered at his will, and stopped the ofSi

' whole ierv of the State gevernment, for

imem•sely damaging the State. twAter holding violeat and fraudulent pos-S

, session of my office for nearly two months, ap_

he only relinquished unlawful possession torwhen the verdicts of the juries and the prie- to,e sere of public setimesnt warned him thathe is

eeoid so isager trample on the rights of an -Yu

oatraged people with impualty. re3. Not amtised with the commission of b

san Gou rg, ie, he the month of November,

Ig,, again dragd me before tbhe same

court, and by the aid of certain corrupt smat -ohers of the grand jury of the parish .of th- oh-es,. attempted to agan pe trate t or-

ame outrage ,poet me as a Stae official. oro Hs being this time more fully f

by the officers of t law, e th

" was agaein thwarted in his sees against wi

i•s the State and aainst myself. tbS4. In thie lst ase, ot satied with at- tb

" te i to drug me into a trial against a

law, t'uhis corrupt official attempted, tbroughl bishreliag spy, ot. upshots. to get certain ei

|.ela who were then confned tn the Par- giP-si... to perjore themselves by swear-

l np f e"1Y agtainst ime, promiof them to a4

save them from the penaltes otbh law if T

1tey wold help bim to convict me of frauds ftLa. pes the treasury. But finding that I had

oasred positive proof against him tor sub--, ermation of peory.- he rapidly withdrew b

from that dangerous scheme.SHe also violated the law ie was sworn

jm o asenati roiecting one Gee. Dearing, i I

em" wo w air dic6d by the granl jory for ! "trx ia the State, iurefsing to allow -P-- de~ r toarreasthim when hefound said1SDeming in the Qveraor's ofce, where he i

A- pa4 .bo sb eew ; dealrlI g that as the Gov-

t-u erneA the ashtsh was reoponsible for'

- that man, Uase wanted to use him, and offer-

. i ig money to the officer to indace him todesist and say nothing about it. And so;securely bas be secreted said Dearing since,that the officers of the law have not been able;to find him.

6. During my first trial before thie First iDistrict Court one- was in the Parish IPrison, under sentence to the penitentiary.When his lawyer applied to Gor. Warmoih fto have hissentence commuted from imprison-ment in the penitr.ntiary to imprisonment inthe Parish Prison, he demanded $1000 inSmoney, and that the criminal should swearto certain things which he would tell him I*.gaiust G. M. Wickliffe, as the conditionsupon which he would comply with the pil- aoner's request. The attorney, being an ahonorable man and a Christian, would not vallow his client to comply with such infamous ndemands. b

7. The law prescribing the duties of the aAuditor of Puolic Accounts, declares that tl"the Auditor shall reside at the seat of gov- tiernment, and shall keep his office in the yState nouse." re being no provision

. uade by law for ' s.taying longer at the ceoffice where I had been located during the 1ayear in obedience to the law governing my hi. office, I moved into the the State House, andfinding suitable rooms, proceeded to open simy office. The Governor, finding that I had wy, done so, immediately gathered his Prpetorian tLn guard of police and stopped me from convey- th

ing up anything more, threw the books, pa- bepers and archives of the State into the lastreet, drove me out of my 0,ffice in open asr- violation of the orders of the Sixth District tht- Court, refused to allow me to re-enter my

n otffice, and, throwing the property of the State reinto wagons, in his hurry to aeoomplish his thpurpose before the Sherff could stop him, ap.caused great damage to the furniture and thi

e archives of the office and the loss of many 20valuable portions of the same. yti

8. Whilst thus busy in attempt ing toaccomplish his pretended desire to punish a mecorrupt official, as ishis excuse for his high- Orhanded outrages against law and justice, he bitw ma not unmindful of personal gain, and wasdaily guilty of the most fagrant acts of cor- deiruption. At the last session of your honor- theable body he successfully manipulated sun- wat dry bills, so as to delay their passage till hem

t',o very last moments of the session, thus allsecuring the power to sighn them at his of ileisure during the balance of the year, after outhe had squeezed the last dollar out of the unlparties interested in securing his signature. to 1Among many such acts of corruption ofwhich this official is guilty I enumerate the E1following: by

9. For his signature to the bill iecorp6ra- ingting the Slaughter gouse Comnpany he cor- ooruptly demanded ard received three-thir- edteenths of one-half of all the capital stock, moiamounting to 2300 alares, or $230,000. and

10. He corruptly received a large sum of nigmoney, as well as promises of political asist- theance, to veto the Shin Island Canal bill, and, 2immediately after vetoing the same, he went oilinto the Legislatare and did all in his rower ingto pass the bill over his veto, for which he bywas paid by the Ship Island Canal Company. ferthus receiving pay from both sides. you

11. The General Assembly having passed 2a bill for the relief of J. C. Kathman (see eralAct 213, of 1868 ) Ippropiating for that pur- hoppose $110670, he yefused to sign that bill wihpar oF t ap , a

- 1IIMIu u[,Mr. Kathman of that amount, which War- neemoth corruptly demanded and received for 2his signature. crez

12. He coruptly demanded of Patrick borFritzel six levee bonds, amounting to $9000. bonbefore he would sign the bill giving said theFritzel extra compensation for loss on con- hertract, and because said Fritzel would not 1pay his exorbitaut price, he vetoed the bill, ceriwhich your honorable body parsed over his canveto by an overwhelming majority of both inteh•nngma

In short, his conduct in this respect is so Unotorious that it can be roved that he never Statsigned a bill ofpecuniary btnefit to any one mat'that be Jid not demand and receive money or applother consideration for his signatere. and

13. For his signature to bill No. 127, of allejsession of 1869. he showed more conclusively semthan ever the infamy of his nature by de- saidmanding for his signature the sacrifice to his hadlust of the virture of a young and beautiful bonlady who had interceded in its behalf. 48,

14. He, assisted by others, defrauded the 2State okover $90.000 in their manipulation 185:of the •1.586,000 worth of levee bonds dis- .lecposed ofi n New York at 51& cents, when Huothey were tffered 57 cents for them in this ragicity to negotiate them. 653t

15. He corruptly received $50,,00frennP. it biJ. Kennedy, for his signature to the bill faitiauthorising the construction of levees. the

18. He defraded the State of$142,740 by furtSouttig off overde eeapons from the leveebonds disposed of by him and hie committee, brand never accouting for the same. boL

17. He defrauded the State of $8640 bycutting off overdue coupon's from the Red

I Book Bonds, delivered to him by me in stiltacoordasee with Jint resolution No. 48 ofin1869, and ever saeonnting for the same.I Thoujh neither he nor anuee else had the in tright to out of said coupops. as said bonds the

t weoe only pledged and not sold. 30 18. In violation of law.he has refused to $1E

deliver bonds to the Auditor to have thema properly- registered and delivered to those mo;

claiming them. Hence, the State has no fore official record of said bonds, and no receipts the

for the same. By.hs conduct in this matter retwo a inrair '• +---*-.-... o.'

State has not reeipts to prove tot, appropriations have ever been paid. He has roan thrown wide open the doer to those disposedto swindle the State ts the ameont of millions bri

e in three ways. First, by inaugmrtiag this tica system of not requirig bonds to be ofcially am

registered, designing persons may forge puDf bonds on the State of Louisiana for any por, 0iount. The State having no official record to

of suoh debt, it is impossibre to tell bow many in_ bonds have been issued, what are their

r- numbers, and to whom they were paid. So. the State may issue one million of dollars. toor there may be torged clime in this form usof untold millions .gainst the State, and asthere is no official record, no one can tell m,

at which is genuine and which spurious, and pathe tax payers will at last have to pay all of

it- these bonds. Second. there being no oftsial wi

all record, coupons over-due may be cut off by digh such law-disregardli oolfals as ourPresent mtin executive, and appropriated to their own a

ar- gain, all of which the State most pay, as she tar- has no data from which to calculate the es- ol

to act amopant of interest due on the bonds. ,

if Third, coupons without nuSmbetr •y be nads forged, and the State thus again be defraud- dlad ed of millions more. I beg you, gentlemen h

Ab- of the Hoose of RIoresentatives, to wegh

ew well these fcts. Let this official pursue ehigh-handed coarse nl this matter he has,

orn inaugrated sand oar States must sink under

g. iher load of ever iuereasiag debt. Is t-anyfor ! wonder oar State credit should receive a .

low shock from such outrages. Isrit any wondersaid that intelligent men of the world are becom- 1

he iag alarmed and chary ofinvesting in Lou-.lov- isiana inseeurities ? I ask you, in the name

for' of justice, policy and right, in the name of 1 '

er- i your constitents, in the nanst of the people

to of Louisiana. to examine wel this charge.so 19. He has allowed and assisted certainice, parish oficials of the parish of Orleans, to-ble wit: M. A. Southworth and L. T. Delasize,

appointees of his own, to take possession ofirst the building rented by the State for the use'jsh of its officers, to occupy the best rooms inir. the building, which alone are fire-proof, and Iith forcing the Auditor anod Tr, asurer of theSn- State to remove up stairs, thus putting the

in whole people of the State who have businessin with those two most important oices of thetar State to great inoonvenience in settling their iim business with the State, and subjecting the ains State to the risk of irreparable loss by nre ofi- all its accounts, papers and archives. Notan only does this endanger the State and iucon- !

lot venience the public, but he allows ?these tus men to 1hold unlawful possession of said lbuilding without paying; a dollar of rent, the and to rent out the back buildings and put a

at the money in their pockets, thus depriving tv- the State of over two thousand dollars dSyearly.an 20. He has corruptly demanded and re- rhe cvtrev money brefotr w u i pprt . .f;he sons to offices, in various instances, from the n7 highest to the lowest office within his gift. 0id 21. He corruptly issued to the Missis- f

n sippi and Mexican Gulf Omnal Company (of hwd which he owns-over nine-tenths,) bonds to i'

an the amount of three hundred and fifty.-four o,v- thousand dollars, in violation of law. Said lips- bonds having been issued by him before the alme law had been complied with, andwhich work dia as required by law has never been done, tit thus defrauding the State of that amount. CI

y 22. He corruptly demanded of Col. Law- foe rence, the proprietor of the skating rink in Y(is this room, before he would agree to have an,,, appropriation passed for his relief of #2~)0, tbd that said Lasrence should pay a friend of hisy 20 per cent, of the amount of the appropria- intion.

23. He corruptly demanded and received ata money or -its equivalent to sign the New raiOrleans, Mobile and Chattanooga Railroad m.

24. He has been guilty of the grossest medereliction of duty and immoral conduct in wethe management of the office to which hewas elected, thus degrading that high and lifheretofore respectable office in the eyes of citall respeotable people. and setting examples d!of malfeasance, misfeasance, oppression andoutrage, bribery and corruption, heretoforeunknown to that high office, and dangero sto the State.

F 25.

creditors of the State may exchange matured whObonds and over-due coupons for red back ticubonds, tius, whilst the State could not paythe principal, she might pay the interest ofher debt.

aBorne nteresting and Thrilling FactAbout the Chinese.

t- Our neighbors of the .Nw Iberia Times,e though favoring Chinese labor in Louisiana,in have the frankness to publish the folbwingid letter, which one of the editors of that st4r-

; ling journal lately received from a friend ini California:' ie But there is one thing in yourir paper I would like to see corrected. You Isaid only about- one-tenth of the people of Iif California opposed Chinese immigration, sad Iit they were mostly Irish. Now that is not so. I

but the reverse. Searcly any one wantse then,, and if the people could, they would id shi t, the last one out of the State. You. think the negroes are bad, but the ChineseIt are much worse. You cannot depend ong them for anything; they will lie, steal, mur-

You will rue the day they 1conmo among you, if they ever do. I speak sfrom experience. There are plenty of hbem ef here, and still coming, and there is no one ahere but what would gladly get rid of them fion any terms, except contractors on the pub- tilie works, and they will stick to them as lonpg Itlas they cah. Cbinamen are the greatest -drain the State has to her wealth. Every- fIthing they eat, drink or wear comes from wChina, and the money goes from here to pay pifor it. You say you must have help to till |eyou soil. I say till what you can, and for hiGod's sake, and the sake of humanity, letthe Chinese alone.

The dark side of this picture is now com- aning in full view. The people begin to under- Lstand it. The reports from congressmen andrairoad agents who have gone to Californiamonopolists and labor contractors for infor- CImation on this subject, are at length pretty awell understood.

The Chinese mistleto is sucking the very alllife blood fr ,m Califorua. No wonder the sicitizens of that State call it the Chinese rin- h,,derpest. to

'e CHEAP CHINESE LABOR. AAn exchange, speaking of cheap Chinese for n

r labor, says: Thisd They wtil not work for a pittance, but Ti

wil demand the ordinary wages. Mr. John a e:d G. Walker, who has charge of the Chinese low-under contraet to work on railroadh in Texas,in a communication to the St. Louis Repub- Blt,q lican, says: gra

There is little prospect at present that comlIf John will tresapass upon the claims of Sam- Iibe to any serious extent. Those who have handi held out hopes of procuring very cheap labor barbby importing it from the shores of Eastern PricAsia, are, I think, mistaken in their coaolo- monmsioc. From one end of China to the other, and* the value of labor in America, aeqprding to their

the California standard, is well known; and, withalthough labor in China is very cheap, able- three

i bodied men will not engage to expatriate clearthemselves for a series of years, except on IIcondition of receiving such high wages as one I
