Neither lithe 'im..s nor the l'ie·(ntnile
is satisled( with the printing bill which
has passed t he House and' is now await
ing the action of the Senate. The
Tirnmer states two objections. First: it
thinks the journals of the two Houses
should not be published. Secondly: it
thinks the printing should be awarded
to the lowest bidder. In this latter ob
jection the 1'ia/itnce concurs, and
objects generally to the bill.
As the bill in its present shape con
forms very nearly to our idea of what it
ought to be, and the views expressed by
us when we first suggested that the old
bill should be repealed and a new and
more econolilcial one adopted, we feel
disposed to sustain the action of the
House.
The 7lnWsC d(oes not maintain that the
journals of thoe houses should not be
published because the public do not re
quire the information they give of the
proceedings of the Legislature. This
objection, if it were true, would be a
good one; one, in fact, conclusive
against the publlcatlon or the journals.
The Times objects to the official pub
lication only because the daily papers
make up and publish as news the pro
ceedings. This argument is entirely
fallacious. No special responsibility
for errors in, or perversions and misrep
resentations of, the proceedings attaches
to a newspaper publishning them as
news of its own accord. The papers
publishing the proceedings thus, are at
perfect liberty to publish as full or as
meagre reports as they please; or to
tinge them with their peculiar political
or personal views. The Legislature
would, under such a system, have no
authority to insure the correct, regular
and impartial publication of its pro
ceedings.
If, therefore, the public requires the
publication of these journals, they
should be published officially. This is
the only question to be determined. If
their publication is not required, then
let the officilal publications be suspended
and leave the different papers to give
such versions of them as may please or
proAlt their proprietors.
In relation to the secoond objection,
we entertain the same views that we
previously expressed. A bill giving
the State printing to the lowest
bidder is not necessarily an economical
measure; indeed, it proves, in the ma
jority of cases, a very extravagant
mI-aurl'e.
measure.
The prices fixed in the present bill are
fair to both the State and the printer.
They insure the latter a fair profit for
his material and work, and, if the print
ing board award the work to an honest
man, the State will receive a full equiv
alent for what it pays. The present
bill indeed, if the work is awarded to
men who will deal honestly with the
State, will reduce the cost of the public
printing many thousands of dollars.
This is what we call a measure of re
trenchment. No bill can accomplish
this saving which does not rest the
power somewhere in the State govern
maent to select its printer.
Were a bill enacted, providing that
the printing be given to the lowest
bidder, who would get the work? What
inspired prophet could estimate what
it would cost the State in the
end? We presume, if the bill shall be
amended to this end, there will be no
bidders excluded; that all parties will
be at liberty to bid, and that he who
bids lowest, and gives his bond, will be
asoorded the patronage of the State of
Louisiana.
The experience of mankind is, that
in contests like this, where it is a cut
throat business for public patronage,
the party who can organize the
most unscrupulous ring, can and
will make the lowest bid. But
thees sort of bidders always make'
anm eyout of the job. There is no one
-A< easy to swindle as the State, and
;r iss noi ing in which the State or
har g a large and va
r liit nt do, ta be
so easily and egregiously swindled in
as in printing.
Were the public printing of this State
awarded to the lowest bidder, we be
lieve it would cost the State fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars more than ft
will cost under the present bill.
And who would be likely to become
the beneficiary of this business under
the theory of the Tim,'. and P'ieall.une ?
More than likely Messrs. Fish, Tracey,
Ilerwig and Geo. L. Smith. These no
ble patriots owe the most extensive
printing establishments in the South;
for years they have dlone the public
printing; they have made hundreds of
thousands ot out it; they have all the
machinery, etc., for the work; they
have a nowspaper which has been con
dueted with more vigor and ability than
any of the Conservative papers of the
city; they would not have to lay out a
cent to carry on the work, and they can
give as large and as good a bond for the
proper and honest performance of the
work as any newspaper establishment.
in New Orleans.
If the printing Is to be awarded to the
lowest bidder, Messrs. Fish, Hlerwig &
Co., of the New Orleans Itepblican,
have as much right to bid for it as any
body else, and if they bid the lowest and
offer the bond their bid cannot be re
jected.
It may be said that the politics of
their paper are so objectionable that the
people would not suatain it, and that,
doing the printlng under ihis bill of re
trenchtnent and rctfrm, tlhey could not
carry out their contract. Those who
may take this ground forgot that Messrs.
Fish, Ilerwig & Co. are gentlemen of
elastic integrity and ductile polities.
Tiheo w rth i's, uild cr a chatnge
of politlical ct,,nditions. , would have
nIo motre dilf11ulty or hesitation
in advancing to the political po
sition held by the Times and Picafrutne
when they were advocating the organi
xation of a third party, than our es
teemed .I servative contoemporarios
had in advancing from that position,
under the lead of the DEMOCRIIAT, to the
standpoint of a united Democratic.
Conservative party in the last can
vass. Assuming this position with
their paper with its unquestioned vigor
a nd ability, Messrs. Fish & Co. could
readily assumo a standard of respecta
bility and hold a position in which they
coald do the Democratic party inflnite
ly more damage than they were able to
do it while on the line of IRadicalism.
Their ductile politics would enable them
to do this, while their flexible morals
and skill would enable them to wring
many thousands more out (,f ', the low
est bid " than any honest paper will
ever get, out of the prices fixed in the
present law.
Under the present law, the printing,
we have no doubt, will be awarded to
responsible parties, who will deal hon
orably with the State, doing their duty
and receiving fair compensation for
their work. Those of our friends who
fancy the lowest bidder plan necessarily
the cheapest one, should boar in mind
that contracts, like laws, are good or
bad, rather in their execution than in
their forms; and that it is safer and
cheaper to contract for fair prices with
those you know than to be subjected to
the mercy of doubtful characters.

in the year of the indetendence of th, United
States the one hundred and first.
WM. P. KELLOGG.
By the Governor:
P. G. DesIost.E, Secretary of State.
It will be observed that Mr. Kellogg
certifies that 0. H. Brewster and A. B.
Leviseo were dults, and in accordance
with law, appointed electors on the
seventh day of November, 1876. It is
a notorious fact, admitted by all par
ties, that Brewster and Levisee held
offices of trust and profit under the
United States on the seventh day of
November, 1876.
The constitution of the United States
says: " No person holding an office of
trust or profit under the United States
shall be appointed an elector." Then
there were but six electors appointed.
The proces verbal of the Louisiana
Republican Electoral College admits
and shows fully the ineligibility, on the
7th of November, of these two electors,
and that proces cerbal accompanies the
certificate.
Is it necessary to ask the question:
"Could the people of Louisiana appoint
or choose an elector who the Constitu
tion of the United States says shall not
be appointed ?" Hardly, even under
the present loose construction of the
fundamental law. Then what was the
effect of votes east for these Ineligible
would-be eletqorsa In legal ootea
plation these voteWStr el) t
all-suoh Is the general ruling-and
under the law of Louisiana these eleo
tors cannot be considered as having
been duly voted for. Such, is the
statute law of Louisiana, that au. ineligi
ble elector, t'oted for nL fact, in law is
"consilered as trot +dulj coted fer."
I quote from the act of 1864, section
2828, Revised Statutes.
Every quillltitni voter In thn lt.o shllll vlit',
for ]Elctitorns si follows: 'T'wo porti.,ons shtll till

If an elebtor, made Ineligible by the
law of Louislana, is considered as not
duly voted for, a fortiori, all eloctcrs
made ineligible by an absoluto prothibi
tion of the constitutlon of the United
States must ble considered as not voted
for. Then the Republicans, In the eye
of the law, had but six electors in the
field, and but six wore chosen by the
people.
On the 61th of 1)ecnmber the Ieopubll
can Electoral College met, with but six
constitutional electors; they could cast
but six votes; Loulashna Is entitled to
eight; the college Is incomplerte; how
could it lie cofmpleted ?
IL ,t us now refer to the Statutes of the
United States, volume 5, page 721.
I quote from the act of 1145:

This law, it is clhear, ful ly protivde for
vacancies which might have occurredi an
between the election (Nov. 7, 1576), when
the electoral college was created by the
votes of the people, and the sixth of
December, when the co.llage m et to cast
its vote, and comes fully ortlln the forst
prviso of the vent of Cof a ngress; l-ut
does it touch the difficulty in law question ?
Does it prbooksvide a way for mpleting an
electoral colleg whereovso o the people havet
'rot cho,.en electors ? Its words are,; "f f
any e or mteor of the lcc atrs hn irreut a
the people" etc. * * 'Then we must
look further in to e law of thouie State
for our remey on; but, unfortunately for
the hopes of this inompleto Electoral
College, our lawmakers seem never to
have contemplated the event of a fail
ure to make a choice upon the part of
the people, and there istn r i non the
statute books of Louan elecana tonal tel
under the second proviso of the act of
Congress.
It may lbe stated then. as an irrefuta
ble fact, that in the State of Louisiana,
if, at an election for presidential elec
tors, the people fail to choose electors
or an elector, then there 1: no
law by which an electoral col
lege may be created or an incom
dolete electoral college completed.
The Republican electoral college was
composed of but six members on the
sixth lay of Decembor, andl there was
no law, national or State, under which
it could be completed.
Out Washington correspondent (to
votes more of his letter to showing how
deograted a creature John Sherman
is, than the importance of the
subject here requires. This com
munity, some time since, made
up their opinion of the United States
Senator who came hero as the aider,
abettor and accomplice of forgers and
perjurers. Our correspondent suggests
that Sherman has not resented the
charges he has preferred against him,
because he (Sherman) thinks he has a
senatorial dignity to sustain. Probably
our correspondent is correct, John
Sherman has a senatorial dignity, or
something else, to sustain which seems
to prevent him from sustaining the dig
nity and character of an honest man
and a gentleman.
Some ourious compiler of statistics and geneal
ogies has discovered that eighty-nine descend
ants o' the Huguenots banished from France by
tbo revoeation of the Edict of Nantes returned
to that country in 1870 as officers in the German
army.
