The coolest weather of the season
has occurred this week. Heavy frosts
have been visible for the.past three or
four days and poor shivering humani-

of hot stoves and fre-places within

shone forth with great brilliancy and
his beams served to moderate the
GOODNESS of the atmosphere somewhat.
The nights are beautiful, but cold.

The town of DOnaldsonyille is situated
on the Mississippi river, 70 miles from New
Orleans by water, 63 miles by rail, and di-
rectly at the source of Bayou Lafourche,

daily communication with the Southern mo
tropolis both by railroad and steamboats,, and
is thriving town of constantly increasing
size and business importance.
In such town is the CHIEF published,

larity and a circulation which are very graft
flying to the conductor, and which render it
an invaluable medium for advertisers, both
local and foreign, who desire to address
themselves t. the people of this section.
What gives additional value to the CHIEF
and commends it the more both to the adj
vertising and reading portion Of the public.is
the fact that it has been designated by the
proper authorities

and Town Of Donaldsonville,

inss Of the Police jury, School Board, and
Common Council, and all official notices and

partment of home news, and among tho

ing events in the Town of Donaldsonville and

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
desire 20 say few words through youl
| paper in correction of errors of fact and in
ference into which Judge Dibble has fallen
in rendering his opinion in the case of the
| board OF State assessors VS. James Graham
| AUDITOR
Judge DibbIe declares. IN Illustration OF
my alleged inconsistency, that at the time
the case Of the State ex rel. J. w. Swords
| ct ais. VS. James Graham, Auditor. No 392
of the docket of his court, was decided.
''the Auditor had, under the decision of the
Supreme Court, full power 80 appeal in the
pame of the States upon furnishing mere
nominal bond for COSTS He adds9 o.The
Auditor did not see fit to take an appeal
from that judgment. bus at ence voluntarily
executed it.
The Judges memor? mas betrayed
him. When this case and the similar case
Of the State ex reio James O'Neill ct ais
vs.. James Graham, Auditor, were decided
by him in favor Of relatoys, in January and
february, 1871, ng right to an appeal was
not recognized anywhere. and I justly con.
sidered my legal authority was exhausted
when. after strenuous exei tions, and urgent
solicitations or my part the Attorney Gem
eral, on behalf Of the State in those cases,
positively refused to take appeals, as Will
be seen by lis letters dated respectively
January 81. 1871, and February :, 1871 on
file il my Office.
As late as June 20. 1917, Judge Dibble
promptly refused my first application ior
an appeal in the case of the State ex rel.
New Orleans. Mobile and Texas Railroad
Company 50. James Graham. auditor.
And it was only upon the decision OF that
case by the Supreme Court, on the fifth of
July. 1871, then sitting a: Monroe that my
right 10 an appeal was affirmed.
It ia difficult TO understand how NY ofio
cial conduct, in refusing to pay illegal or
fraudulent claims upon the treasury of the
Stateo should aa9e tie effect OF ;mpairing
its credit IL extenuation of the charges
implicitly made, that have displayed an
undue !itigious spirit. it will be. think
sufficient to say that in all litigation TO
which J have been party in my official
capacity, | have invariably been she dee
fendant. have always been prompt to
satisfy all demands agains: the State, save
those that deemed tc be either :Ilega! or
fraudulent. Ali the appeals whic; have
taken to the Supreme Court from decisions
of Judge D!bble. favorable TO claimants of
money Of the State. have been justified BY
the result. And this was notably SO in the
case OF the State ex rel. Goiding 81 ais. vs..
James Graham. Auditor. in tLjs case the
Supreme Court. in revising the decision OF
Judge Dibb1eo favorable TO Te.ators. dc
nounced the claims rs ':PreposteCous,
:M9oious and vexatious,' and expressed Its
regret ''tha: it had not the power TO 5nurct
the Teiators in damages This case and
the one now in contestation are strictly apo
aiagous. and tee! confident that the deci.
sion rendered in the enc WILL be repeated in
