NOT AT ALL STRANGE.

The Times publishes the following rs
conclusive evidence that Governor Pinch
back never saw act No. lG1:
lass umed the duties Of this cfiicc Jan
uary l3, 1873, and found, among other re-
cords of the office, calendar OF all the acts
which had been either signed by Governor
Pinchback as Governor, or which he de.
sired to become laws without his approva!
or signature. Now this act, strange to say,
does not appear upon this calendar.
The witness is Mr.. Deslonde. Secretary
of State. As Governor Pinchback had
sent in act No. 1Ol three days before; had
read it in the official journal on the twelfth,
and as the clerks in the Secretarys Office
were busy on the thirteenth. the day Mr.
Deslonde was inducted into Office. in send
ing copies Of the REPUBLICAN containing
it all over the State. Governor Pinchback
probably did not think it worth while to
allude to it. 1t is not customary sor the
Governor to repeat on the thirteenth. Or
any other day. an official act previously
performed.
We have traced this act officially through
the Office Of Secretary Of State to the Gov
ernor, who gave orders to have it pub
lished. Further than this we know
nothing about it.

4 CLEAR CASE OF STUPIDITY.

A writer in the Times, who has been
boring the worthy Secretary Of State for
the past few days, yesterday gravely asked
this question:
Now. will tho gentleman whose duty It Is
to lay before the people the acts OF the
Legislature, explain by whom the sub
Joined note, on the front page Of the official
volume, was signed
NOTE BY THE SECRETARY OF s1ATE.
Acts Nos. 81 to l0l, inclusive, printed in
this volume under the title Acts Passed by
the General Assembly of the State Of Louis
lana, at the Second Session of the Second
Legislature, begun and held in the city OF
New Orleans, January !, 1872, were not
signed by the Governor in time TO be
bound with the laws of 1872 and are, there
fore, included in this volume.
Where word is found necessary to sus-
tain the sense of the context, or where one
word has been obviously mistaken for
another, the word supposed to be proper is
supplied, but in brackets [thusl
PC. DESLONDE, Secretary Of State.
The gentleman whose "duty it is to lay
before the people the acts Of the Legisla-
ture," is the Secretary Of State himself.
Not an act is published in the official jour
nal without his attesting signature, and
none are included in the pamphlet volume
without such attestation. As for the note
in question, it was placed in the book
without the express authority Of Mr.. Des-
londe, but as it only says Of act No. 10l
that it was received too late to 60 into the
volume for 1872, which is fact that no
one disputes. we do not see that any harm
has been done.
No laws are distributed officially by any
one except the Secretary Of State. He is
supplied with the entire edition. If he
thinks proper he can make use Of the
note placed at the beginning Of the vol
ume; if he does not wish it to appear he
can order his clerks OF any other person
to remove it. At all events, he is response
BILE for it if he issues the volume with the
! note in it. But the note is form which
was adopted by the Secretary OF State
some years ago. and appears in each
| volume of the laws since 1869. It was
used by Bovee and Heron. and the fore
1ldu OA luo p1AAIAAS OAASS' "AeAo0' WA
sulting Mr.. Deslonde, made the customary
correction this year by printing his name
instead Of Bovee or Heron. The State
Printer is responsible for any error that
| has been committed. but he is not
aware Of any. The statement contained
in that note is true. And beside. the
whole edition was delivered to the Secre-
tary of State, note and all. He can use his
discretion in the matter. He can send
out the laws with the note OF without il,
or be can send the note out alone without
the laws. In either case the State Printer
will have nothing to do with it. We are
only required to take care that no law is
promulgated or published that is not
properly attested by the Secretary OF
State, and to be careful that none thus at
tested are left out
As for act No. 101, We are informed by
Mr.. Mentz, who was acting Secretary Of
State on the tenth Of January, 1873, that
he was directly ordered by acting Cover
nor Pinchback to have it published.

THE SUPERIOR DISTRICT COURT.

Organized by act Of the Legislature
during the height Of political excitement
III Ills city. and at time when everything
that could be said was urged against it
and its presiding judge. the Superior Dis
trict Court has closed it's labors for the
season, having rendered more good SER
vice to the State than probably any other
like judicial tribunal has been able to &C
complish. The frmness, discernment
and unhinching integrity Of the presiding
Judge have combined traits Of character
which have been of incalculable value to
the State during the trying times through
which she has just passed. They have
enabled the State to protect its credit
when it was ,uthlessly assailed by enemies
from without in league with pretended
friends within They have aided in de-
feating and setting at naught the machina-
tons of the unprincipled and mercenary.
They have been the fbres' which have
made the judicial arm strong against evil
doers. In the six months of its existence
great deal Of work has been done in this
court-the most of it work in which the
public is directly interested-and il has
been done in such manner that the most
bitter partisan can not but acknowledge
the Justice and fairness Of its decisions
And when the bitter political feeling
which the events Of the last campaign
engendered has died out, the most implaca-
BILE will thank the Legislature for estab-
fishing the Superior District Court, and
praise Governor Pinchback for appoint
ing Jacob Hawkins TO preside over its de,
Gberations.
