NEW ORLEANS. SuIz 6. 1872


EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Please inform the editor of the Citizens
Guard, who knows so much as to my being
a Warmoth OficehOlder, that there is a
statute book for the State of Louisiana, and
that section 649 of that book provides that
a coroner shall be elected by the voters of
that portion of the parish of Orleans below
the centre of Canal street, and that at an
election held in November, 1870, gentle
man was elected to that office, in whose
employment have been ever since. That
Office is independent of federal, State or
parish appointment. As to his erroneous
statement in reference to my bread and
butter depending on Warmoths patronage,
that point bears more on himself, as he
holds an employment under the auspices of
federal patronage. F. P. BENEDICT.
