CENT few days ago, The particular point which
has ELECTED this reply is that in which the previous
writer, who signed himself " Confederate" ad.
ycrted to the point selected for the Investment Of
the sum donated by the State for the relief of the
class Of persons embraced in this discussion
L0uisiaDian, the writer of the communication
below, seems to think that in this ausion there
was an intention to cast asperson on the directors
appointed by the State. We do not agree with
him. We believe that it was merely an expression
Of opinion intended to strengthen the main argu
ment Nevertheless tits not ineXpedent to show,
as this communication proves, that the directors
have zaalously discharged their delegate duties
aud have accomplished all that could be antici'
pated with the limited means placed at their
disposal.
