sadly afflicted with sickness and death,
and in this their hour of trouble and deep
affection his sympathies are not withheld
from them. Upon learning of the dis

promptly forwarded to the Shreveport
Howard Association the sum of fifty dol
lars, and he sent the same amount to the
Morning Star Benevolent Association-an
organization for the relief of the colored
people of Shreveport. Such conduct
done quietly and unostentatiously- illus

Executive Department ,
New Orleans, June 49, 1873.
WHEREAS, 1t appears from inform alton received
from the Auditors office, and from other sources.
that many just claims exist against the State,
which under article 1879 of the constitution can
not be paid for want of appropriations which cases
are Justly entitled to legislative relief; and
Whereas On the other hand many fraudulent
or, at least improper claims, have been in previous
years hurriedly passed upon and provided for in
various general appropriation bills; and
Whereas, While it is but just that al legitimate
claims should be promptly liqudated it is equally
essential that claims Of every description should
be carefully scTutinized before being passed npon
and
Whereas, The law makes it the duty Of the An.
ditor to investigate unqudated claims against
the State and make recommendations concerning
the same to the Legislature;
Now, therefore, in order to arrive at the true
merits of such outstanding claims and to enable
the Auditor to make the proper Recommendations
IN such cases, favorirg those which are Just and
rejecting those which are fraudulent parties bav
ing claims against the State on which they desire
legislative action hereby requested to forward
them to the Auditor, together with such vouchers
and proofs as will enable that officer to ascertain
the merits of the same; and no claim viii receive
the executive approval unless they have been pre
scented and passed upon in the manner herein ipdi

to be we'll authenticated that several per-

Several plausible theories for this xkqgue

being left on the banks to poison the at.

can not just now travel away back to the
times of Baron Carondelet and Don
O.Reilly; or even Of Claiborne, Robertson
Roman, Mouton, johnson and others, who
once, in obedience to lawit is to be hoped,
filed the Office of Governor in this State,
and as Governors were entitled to the re-

be content to speak in becoming man
ner Of the man whom the law now clothes
with the authority of Governor. This re-
spect is due. the law and the Office of Gov
ernor and is freely accorded by every good
citizen. The mere fact of mans being
Gov erner, and recognized as such by law,
should be sufficient to cause law-abiding
men to treat him respectfully, and Judge
him fairly by his acts. This is all the
friends of Lieutenant Governor Antoine
ask for him. He is now the
acting Governor Of the State, and
his acts, public and private, while
filing high public trusts must determine
his character. So far his conduct has
been praiseworthy, and the REPUBLICAN
is pleased to accord to him full justice in
the pre- misses. It is too great a respecter
of the law to allow color to usurp its sense
of r light. The fact that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Antoine is o colored man and was
poor laboring boy few years ago
sh ould not lower him in the estimation Of
either honest Democrats or Republicans
men devoted to popular government. The
fact that he has risen from the ranks of
the people. through the choice Of the ma.
jority, should be reckoned in his favor
rather than against him; and as long as
his acts are all for the public benefit be
deserves praise rather than causeless cen
sure and vain ridicule. ..
