State Commissioner for North Caro
lina at New Orleans, said in the pres
ence of the , writer that he had res
served 1300 of the'funds in his hands
that he had intended to pay to Mr.
Wilson if the Board had not allowed
add ltional v, compensation ; ; 'f or," u he
said; r Air, Wilson nchlv deserved it "

Where is the extravagance .Where
is me mismanagement ? -
There, are tooj many negro tm
pioyes; they are paid too much. v:
Let'u see. ? There may . Jbe some
thing in it. , : Some of the beard have
raised the question more than once
but have generally : been t forced', to
conclude that we could do no better.
There are four servants paid by the
Department: three at $25; and one at
$15 per month. " As to the numbers;
