AFTER KELLOGG.
AN X-.TAX COLLECTOR "WANTS"
KELLO0G ON A BLIND ANT.
LUM WARRANT.
And Will -Gobble Him When re Comel
Here--Old Accounts to be squared
Before the Grand Jury.
---It Waeesarrently rumored in Rtepublican croles
yesterday that Kellogg, the ex.de facto, would
arrive here about the 25th of this month, and
with that rumor came a story that a certain ex.
tAx collector of his would, slmultaneously with
his arrival, bring suit against him a la Deslon se,
for $500, which he advanced to Kellogg, receiving
in lieu thereof
A BLIND ASYLUM WAnRANT
drawn upon the Treasurer for the amount
named. How Kellogg or Johnson came in pos
session of the warrant after It had been issued is
Squestion that will probably be solved during
the progress of the trial, and the ex-tax colleo
tor may then make some developments that will
show how Kellogg manipulated the State funds
ron CAMPAIGN POaPOS.Z,
as one of the receipts held by the ex-tax colleo
tor mentions that the amount received is for that
purpose.
These fato were related In full on Saturday to
the Attorney General by the ex-tax collector re
ferred to, who in his settlement has not yet so.
counted for the amount noted.
Of course the es-tax collector doesn't want to
be swindled out of that amount by Kellogg, and
thinks he has paid it into the State Treasury, but
holding as he does the warrant instead of the
treasurer's receipt, it does not seem reasonable
that the
STATE SHOULD OREDIT HIM
with the amount, and that ie probably the view
taken by the Attorney General.
As there are several other e-tax coillectors who
have turned over State money for campaign pur
poses, the precedent established in the present
will no doubt be the rule in the others. Some of
those ex-tax collectors who have receipts for
money turned over for campaign purposes are of
the opinion, so it's said, that the absence of the
Auditor's books will
PREYVnT ANY DISOOVERIES
as to their indebtedness, but in this they are
most fearfully mistaken, as there is now nearly
completed an accurate account of the indebted
Aess from the year 1870 of each tax colleotor who
has held office. This is being prepared by the
Auditorial Committes, and when completed and
presented in a legal way-that is through the
courts-there will mo* likely be a

sauda mashin' (?) of teeth, soto speak, among the
es.dehulters, and whloh will, by the way, raise
ý'quite a wind in the ranks of principals and se
Sourities.
These accounte will, it Is conjectured, show
that the State has been, in this way robbed of
hundreds of thousands of dollars, all of hich
has of course been "taken in," as it were, b the
ox-tax colleotors for the benefit of the eor
and the State omfelas, and when the data is all

artistic ability, and in a manner indicating that
she is not a novice on the lyric stage. Referring
to the heansonette, which was sung with a great

of the Consolldated Debt.
NEw ORLEANS. Sept. 17, 1577.
!. A Eild.-ri-With [hi_ so-cidlt[d "aneiier' be
fore us, which the combined Ingenuity of three
irominent city officials has taken so Iog to
I brood over and which has at length come to
light. we feel again provoked plullicly to d(

UNFOUNDED AND WANTON
iih osudden attack so unigeninerously Inadei on
Iunday last, anid repeated yiest rdaiy. undirI
cover of a judicial proceedl ng, plotted' and ri
pened, as it apparently is for no (ther than
wiked purposles. against theo Solthern Bank.
and this we do regardless of thli Iii''pteld re
Iterated protests Inal.e to the contlrary, by the
evil spirits which inspired it.
There are circumstances il life when silence
bhconmes a crime, when self-defese ll hoomres
an Irresistible moral obli gation. when the dt'
nueuiation of assailing oftenders, however of
flcially screened they he aceidentally, hbceomes
a solemn public duty, imperiously demanded
by the highest consideratlons of solidI good.
To the intelligent and substantial flnanilhrs
in this city and beyond the State: nay. to the
less observing and considerate, the suit brought
on the sth inst.. in the name of the city. against
the Southlern Bank, was a subject of most pro
found astonishment, for, the bank (it must Ih
admitted). has always borne and it now hears it
character as high as that of any other money
institution in the land, in point of honor, pro
denoe and unqluestionable Impregnabili y.
It must be confessed thlat, with the (uiet 'on
science which the scrupulous fulfillment of
duty alone gives, the dirnetors of the bank
were, at least as much surprised at ani lissault,
in no way previously intirrated, not eve by the
L ordinary aiicable drea, nral, which invarhiayv
precedes every judicial proceeding, and whih
seemed insidiously calculated to strike, at the
Bank a fatal blow, which, If successful. would
have sprung monstrous disasters uipon the
plantting and conmmercial cr'ommunlties of the
country, in this: that a run on tie Bank might
have provoked runs on otlher banks, whicih, un
prepared might have been driven, forc'ibly. to
lamentable suspension of payments.
To hurl back and silence the reckless charges,
with the most indisputable evidence in hanid.
I and, next. to stigmatize the unfair enemies who
f have preferred them becerrem a lduty noi t tobe
shrunk from, admitting of no ri, toononrment.
r and which was faithfully and fearle ssly dis
d charged.
f The offense for which the bank stands in
dicted is that while it was tile fiuscal agent of thi
city of New Orleans. It hs wrrongflly ,i miiapplid
0,a6.1t5i of the seven per cent bonds which tthe
! city was authorized to issue by theli a(ot of Feb
ruatry 27, 1Tis, and had deposited with tihe bank.
The nsapproprtiation charged conlsists in
having delivered bonds for that amount to the
State Treasurer, for poliee purpose., the stole
idred reuired by law not having bi.enI furnished
by the city to the bank, andl which alone coiuld
Sjustilfy the aptpliation, and in having disposwd
of these bonds at less than pat. at a heavy dis
count.
Hence the bank is called upon to retliurn uh
Sboends or pay the amonnl of the same.
Sb o that the suit is predicated upon:
1. The nanet o f the slnctment, and
2. lhe disposal of the botds at a dis'conrt.
Those charges tile bank Iras triumphantly re
futed by answering emphatically:
1. That the saltcement denied to exist, had ac
tuallybeoon prepared by the municipal officers
specially designated for the purpose by law. was
in the osseesion and keeping of the ank.
I bearngt original attestation of those officers,
and oald be verified there by any one in Inter
est, and 9, that the bonds directed to be issued un
der thelaw by that sfatmenit, and otherwise If
nocessary had been given to and received by
the State Treasurer, AT PAR, ill flull ayent l of
the item of city indebtedness, in favor of the
Metropolitan Pollce and placed on the statement
as per receipt ,f the State Treasurer, likewise
subject to inspection by all concerned.
It was to be exeeted after suh a frank and
ungarbled defense that the city officials who
had assumed the grave responsibility of insti
Stoting, witout any previous warning or de
rpand, and without any si ecial authority to
that end from the Oity Council, a suit of such
magnitude, would have called upon tile bank to
view and scrutinize the documents in question,
no traces of which anparently existed or were
found at the City Hall, but such w s not the
case. For some reason not easily disoerned.
not one of the officials has presented himself.
N trrtalrtrthe inquiry arises why ,nia this not
done?
The promincnd fienture of the refutation made
by the President of the bank Is THE AVERMENT
OF THE EXIRTENiE OF THE DENIED STATEMENT
and the atutllcation of tile BONDS AT PAR, as DI
RECrTED by law, and the slatemren in furtherence
of it,
SAtogether bll.ded by an excess of unjustifl
ble az for whrat they consider "a sentiment
Sdictat by equal justice before the law," the
three city oficlials who have volunteered to as
sumr the odiitii of the suit and of a dlfense of
it. have, in their own queir way. analytmd that
refutation, and have found that it presented I,,ri
I prolinrind featurns; first. ain elaboratie statement
of the bank's high standing, and neixt a i serious
charge of malice against the prsie'iutors.
It is truly wonderful that gentlemeln of their
business, military and Inoal notitudn. should
have considered Is pro,.i,ia',l feal.irei matters
of more detail, possibly unnrecessary, after all,
but which were casually thrown in, to, peubltly
and without dread of contradiction, apprise
them of facts which they seemod to uinore, and
to echo to tiim the unalnimous pur.i Is ceIllsurr
2 and condemnation of the wicked nmotives wlichtl
a spite and revenge stunled to have suggested in
the matter.
They, however, admit with a flagitlous candor
that they never ulest ioned the flnanaial condi
tion of the hauni ancLthIt exhlidts in thuttdirece
tion are purely "gratultous."
For this great liberall y, let them accept our
cordial thanks, for to them we feel tinder un
measured obligations. as, olbherie. the minera
which they Intended to spring on the bank hav
ing exploded without remarkable havoc, It is
possible that the bank would to-morrow have
ceased to exist.
It took, the gentlemen ct n he assured, the
president of the bank no labor to recall histori
cal facts in the annals of loceq bankingl. His
statements took less time to be nmde and sure
ly was not as claborate, as the patched answer in
question, the producelon of several minds re
quired, for though overshadowed and heraided
many days ago. it has only appeared yesterday,
$iooicti (alnothe r Sunday) i1
After the announcement made in the officIal
paper of an answer to tihe refutation of the
charges by the bank it might have been sur
mised, particularly after such a delay, that the
bank would have been crushed by such a charge
of insufficiency or of forgery against the state
ment and receipts, based upon a report of ex
perts in handwriting made after close optical,
chemical and other scientitic oxpertmentations.
But lol nothing of the kindi On the contrary,
far from having been looked at, the documents
relied on by the bank, and the existence of
which had been poremptorily denied by the
city, are totally ignored by the officials in their
answer, not the least reference being made to
them in that remarkable joint production.
Without presuming ts dictate to our adversa
ries the manner in which they should have
proceeded. it is our right to criticise that in
which they have moved.
They claim to represent a principal, the cily,
demanding from a subordinate, its latIe Fieal
.lent, an account of certain bonds, and in de
fault the amount of the same.
The agent answers, alleging a disposal of the
bonds, under authority of the law of the State
relative thereto, and if necessary, under formal
manidatory instructions of tae city itself, as
vouchers show.
The only issue then is: Were the bonds le
gally disposed of ? The city holds the negative
and the bank the affirmative.
Wny then do the prominent city officials seck
to make irrelevant side issues? They aver as
facts matters with which the bank has nothing
to do. The bank was dfirected by law, by mu
nicipal ordinance, and by finance committee
resolution to apply bonds for that amount to
the extinction of a city debt for snr0o5,n plaed
by the proper officors on the statement, by
delivery of them to the ttate Treasurer, who
legally represented a, hcr the Metropo itan Po
lice Board. The bank had only a ministerial
duty to perform, compliance with which could
hve been enforced by nanida,,,s, and the in
fliction of damages in favor of wronged parties.
The bank did ns it was ordered. Ithad no
supervisory control over the city, and even if it
had, it may be said to have concurred with
them, in confirming or carrying out their im
perious beh-sts.
The bank holds and exhibits the law, the
statement, the ordinance, the resolution, Ihe
receipt in fhll payument, nay, it produces the ap
proval and ratiflea ion the proper city
authorities mad after the bank had ceased vol
untarily to tIthe fscal agent, of the distribution
of those identical and of other similar bonds.
The bank further shows approval by the pay
ments made by the city of the coupons of the
bonds in question, by the funding of a great
number of the same bonds Into the premium
bond scheme.
So that, the bank is sought to be held liable
for having unduly applied the bonds, when it
has done so in the manner directed by law, by
ordinance, by resolution. The bank is charged
with having unduly applied bonds, which its
principal has. by its agents duly authorized,
recognized to have been properly applied.
I he bank is charged with having misapplied
bonds, the coupons of which its principat has
pd The bLnk is canllead up to restore bonds
whih the city has exehan for other bonds
and which the g, ly actually cas in her vaultsl
It is not for us, at the present time, under ex
isting t'ircumstanws,. to inform the city what
course she might have taken to avoid the dif
floulti.es and embarrassments to which she re
fers. Her officers, her legal adviser, have had
the matter under consideration, they say. for
flfltee mit.onthls
Tlhe city offieials in question make and pro
voke shle issues ontir ely irrelevant to the suit
lately brought. They charge the Houthern
IiBank with being thle chanmplon of the old city
'consoldlated Ibnds. What, leas that tddo with
theopryit -r hrimpropr .-ptth p -al i ofIttth- f,
0one tonds ln qlltistlion? Hu pDose the hank was
a ntagonist i 1to t he ,old consoIlldated bonds,would
that cirucnilstan'' l'gaully exonenrat her from
theli riesp.onsibillity waii':i' is now sought to be
saddhilt poni her? Certainlpy ls, though
pt'raeltlly it might, for it. would tlhn not he
vieweld byl theiity offil,'dls as hlstie to the Pro
mium bond aliai.tory rs'hemle.
True, the bank Is interested in the city con
sollda'ed tonds. True, It asserts and neeks
to have their supremacy and the integrity of the
solemn contract involving the good faith of the
Seate and city maintained. If the bank is the
holder of such bonds for a large amount, it is
because it was re.lqulred under the froe banking
law toi invest its aohll in su'lh securities to war
rant its circulation; it was because It placed
confidence and reliance in the assurances given
in the inducemenls held out by the State and
city at the time the bonds were issued. The
bank has never, like the city. under the inspira
tion of someine evil spirit, offered to pay its cred
itors so per cent of their just claims, when she
had the whole amount thereof on hand, on con
dition that, they would forego In her behalf their
right to the remaining to per cent, remaining
only ordinary creditors therefor.
The chancery stilt brought before the United
States C(irunit Court in this State by certain non
reslidint'eity consolida'ed bond holders has
nothing to d. with the suit la.tely brought
against theli bank. 'T'rue, it was mainly decided
in favor of the holders of those bonds, for the
court unequlvocially held: That the law iif I.'2s.
unlider whliclh they were issued, is a cotlractl,
which neither the state nor the city had a right
to imitidr, and which by proceedlings at law,
woutl be enfo(reud to the very last iota.
Wei do not nDw propose to discuss thel qolls
tions ralsed antid reviewed by the court, in that
case. It is well. however, to say, in rteply to a
gratulitusll charge by the city offi'ers, thatl in
tlhat case, to which the bank was no party, but,
to thll result of which it looked with in'ereist,
that the complainants, as the prayer of their
bill shows, imrely asked that the other olliga
tions assailed in the bill be postponed to their
bonds.
It would really suem that the city officials are
not will inforimed ats to the law of 154i, under
which theI' bonlds in qluestionl were issued; for
had they of it a proper knowledge they would
ilot have utIadl' the cliharge of i,'.rosinciaeul, pr'
forred in their answor. In a mllpit of charity
let us tell them Ithi it is distinctly provided by
that act Ise'tioti I;) that tllt,s' bonds shall rank
next to the old city consilidated binds of lsr,.
and that it is onl , after these last bonds shall
have been nttirely paid, in capltal and intter, st.
that thei pro'ivisieons of the act of 18t2. in relatlion
to themn, shall bei alppliedl to cover and protect
the bonds of 18is9.
It is a prinelpitl which the city ofileera serni
to ignorn' or iit Ieast to dispulte, that parties
dealing with munllicial eorporations are to be
viewed as treating with minors or incapacitat
ed persons.and that their duty is to herare.
Our prmsent Supreme Coulrt ha, lnot long
since, so held in the Shreveport bond 'ase. It
may well he that however sensitive thatt court
may have shown Itself respecting ftate obliga
tions, it will not as fully shleld holders of mu
nicipal obligations, varticularly when those
obligations have been issued in violation of law.
In violation of restraining contracts, and at a
shameful disnount in favor of speculators in
whose hands soIme way or other the same have
remained, unless in their Iniquity they have
with many others alike, been merged in the
pr.mium bond aleatory scheme.
We confess that we have been sadly afflicted
at the repeated attempts of our opponents to
wit at our expense. Matters of the importance
of those in question should not be made an oc
casion for jokes. particularly bad ones, which
may very well do at the proper time, at the
proper place and under the proper cir
cumstances. It may amuse those who
think the.nselves witty, and who, probably,
if it over went that far, are the very ones who
poslbly may have smiled at their own pour
It Is not fair to say, when the matter is entire
ly uncalled for, that the bank has ever been
foremost In the ranks of those who have striven
to impair the publle credit and to stimulate its
enemies by covert attacks here and abroad, and
to make other similar unjust and unfounded
charges, which the bank emphatically pro
nounces to be false and mialiciou.sly utlir'ed, with
a view to harm. The hie-tevidence to the con
trary is that it has invested an immense capital
in city and State obligations. It lent, as ad
mittetL. the wnight, of its powerful influence to
the rapid diffusion of the bonds of Is9e, in days
when the city was in trouble. Had not that in
fluience been exerted those bonds, which are
now worth inoi more than premium bonds.
that, is, much less than rio per cent of what they
realized, wouli never have relleved the city, as
thly d id, of her difficulties. The gratuitous and
wanton charges would not certainly have been
preferred. hadd the ballk, ulntrull to its tduty toi
toi'kholdurs and depositltors. funtled all its old
city bonds into the premiumn bond lottery
scheme.
The bank did not lno so for many legal, constl
tutional. Ilettimate and financial reasons. which
it will n ,t now condtlecond to give, but which the
money rmn do appreciate as is evidenced by
he undeniable ma'rgin which has at all times
existed between the old consolidated bonds and
the premium bonds, the hobby of the municipal
executive.
'I'lton. charges, made In the answer of the city
officials against, the bank, are not embodied in
the petition filed io court. The officials mlaking
them may be hold to aciount for thom at the
proper timno in a mantnner which will be iiin no
way agreeable to them.
We have also been charged indirc!tly with
having appealed to -pu-liaic sy-mpatuy, t ud with
seeking to influence or color judicial action by
public sentiment.
We have claimed no sympathy. We stand In
the most upright attitude. In bold and defying
relief, both before the public and Judicial bar.
dread no charges, and are ready to refute vic
toriously any which might be preferred in any
spirit against, us, for our conscience is clear
and qult. We have dione our duty, and are
ready to prove it Inost conclusively.
We have notsought to influencu judical action
by our refutation. Had this suit been broug it
against us, as suits are usually instituted; had
not the petition been printed beforehand, flled
at a late hour ,or the day, out '.f the clerk's office
and of the icourt-house, and been di-seminated
among the papers late at night to create a sen
sation in the Sunday papers of the Oth. with
the intention. no doubt, of springing a
mine to blow up, by a run, our
bank. which had not and could not have
been dlone. we would not probably have an
swered in the manner in which we have! Had
not an answer contaiinlng unfair c(hargues beens
published by the city offieials yesterday we
would have remained satistfled with the show
ing which we have made beforit the public un
til the day, if it over comes, when we shall have
to appear and answer before the court selected
by our enemies; but, provoked as we have leeoln,
wo owed it to the pulblic, whlose impartiail feel
ing and sound judgment are with us, to our dlun
positors and stockho'ders, to our correspond
ents and friends, to the Stlate and other local
authorities, to show that our hands are as whlite
as snow and our conscience pure and undto
filed.
We reiterate that when the timie comes we will
prove the utter want of foiundation and the
malice of the cihargies preferred against us to
tile shame and confuision of our defamers and to
our iihonor and justification.
