The Messrs. Hunsaker of st. James
parish seem to have gotten into
trouble all around. Hon. 0. F. Hun
saker, formerly Senator from this
District and OK President of the St.
James Police Jury, has been discov-
cred to be in arrears to the parish
$500, which amount be has just paid
into the treasury in satisfaction Of the
claim. Mr.. D. S. Hunsaker, ex-Tax
Collector Of St. James, is also in ar
rears some $l4OO, and we under
stand that he has promised to make
the deficiency good. And finally, Hon.
J. w. Hunsaker, ex-Parish Judge and
ex-P President of the School Board,
has been arrested, charged with en-
bezzlement of school funds to an
amount which we hear variously es-
timated from $4,000 to $1,000. He
has given bonds to appear for trial,
and our latest intelligence regarding
the matter is the report that he will
be released from the charge upon
paying the amount Of his defalcation
into the parish treasury. The St.
James treasury is to be envied.

DUB WASHINGTON LETTER,

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 81, 1873.
EDITOR CHIEF:
In q small village in the State of
Illinois was born the noble organiza-
ton known as the Grand Army of the
Republic. A few brave men had re-
turned to their homes after many
years of hardship, privation and dan
ger, spent in the defense of the noble
flag they loved so well, bringing back
with them vivid recollections of the
many deeds of heroism they had so
often witnessed upon the bloody field
of battle. They bore with them sad
remem brance of men who stood shout
der to shoulder with them when the
air was being rent by the missiles of
death, Of having seen those men sink
down by their sides, pierced by the
deadly bullets, the life blood oozing
from their wounds. And all for the
priceless boon of liberty. Among
themselves were many who were
manned and forever disabled. Empty
sleeves were seen at every corner, to
remind them of the ravages of that
horrid thing we call war. And while
their minds contemplated the scenes
of the past i'll which their comrades
had been swept down by the fiery
blast, and they knew their voices
could never again be heard in song or
merry jest as in days of yore, they
cast their eyes about them to behold
the fearful eyes, the sad faces and the
dark weeds of mourning of those
whose hearts had been broken with
grief on account of the loss of more
than comrades. They witnessed the
sorrow of the old man, bowed down
with the weight of many winters,
whose sons, his support in the autumn
of his day, had left his side to rally to
the defense of his country whose flag
had been struck down by traitors
hands; Of the aged, trembling, cronins
old woman, whose thoughts ran back
to the day when her boy, her idol, her
pride, her joy, had kissed her wrinkled
brow and babe her goodbye, his last
goodbye; Of the heroic sister who had
with her own hands buck1el the
sword belt about the form of the
brother 50 noble and true: OF the sad

actuated the parties who were instru-
mental in procuring my indictment ::
which, | am certain, We're personal
and political dislike and prejudice,
and an itching desire to have me sus-
pended from office in order to procure
the appointment of some person who
would prove more subservient and
agreeable to their desires and tastes
and perhaps make his occupation of
the Office pecuniary advantage to
themselves. The investigation of the
books and accounts of my Office was
ordered by the State Auditor up
on information furnished by certain
individual who had asked me to vio-
late the law by cashing some of his
State warrants and returning the same
as having been collected for taxes. /
refused to do this, and perhaps my
refusal was the means Of strengthen
ing his expressed determination to
Z" break up that Bovee-Smith- Kline
Bentley ring" that would not pay him
tribute. The conviction forces itself
upon me that he wished to entrap me
into contravention of my duty by cash
ing his warrants, and inform the Au-
ditor of my misdcmcanor. | believe
him capable of such treachery, low as
it is. | have no reason to fear a prop
erly conducted inquiry into my Off
cial conduct, and should not presume
to criticise or blame the District At
torney for the legitimate and straight
forward discharge of his duty in the
prosecution of such an investigation !;
but protest against the prostitution
Of his prerogatiye authority to the
qualification Of his personal spleen.
| charge that the investigation of my
official accounts has been directed in
an unfair, undelhanded manner, with
the deliberate intention of deceiving
the public mind, and I dcnounce as
libellous and untrue the imputation
that has been cast upon me by an in
competent Grand Jury, under the
guidance of an astute trickstcr, who
was undoubtedly aware, while elicit
ing the testimony of merchants, that
in nearly four ffths of the cases the
cash which they declared they had
paid for licenses was not paid to the
Collector but to agents authorized to
settle with him.
Aside from other facts, the circum-
stance of the "true bill" against mc
not being presented until twenty four
hours before the adjournment of the
District Court, thus precluding the
possibility of Il trial during that ses-
sion, would seem to strengthen the
firm belief that l have expressed that
the purpose of indicting me was mere
ly to procure my suspension from Of
fee pending the court vacation.
| shall probably recur to this sub
ject again shortly, and give some fur
Their particulars in relation thereto.
Respectfully, L. E. BENTLEY.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Editor CHIEF ::

EDITOR CHIEF: .... ....
In view of the contemplate insinu-
atoms leveled at me in the Leader of
May 81 by some party or parties who
have not the manliness to let them
selves be known to the public but
must needs sneak into print under
assumed titles, l desire the use Of
the columns Of your paper to make a
brief statement of facts.
The motion Of my counsel to quash
the indictment presented against me
by the Grand Jury for alleged en-
bezzlement Of school funds, was made
without my knowledge or consent,
and the object Of it was merely to test
. point Of law, my legal advisers de-
elaring their intention Of afterwards
according my request for the appoint
ment of a competent accountant to
examine my books and receipts and
point out to the court the ridiculous
blander that was made by the Dis
trict Attorney in his information
against me.
The fair minded correspondents of
the Leader. did not choose to take no.
tice Of the fact that the case against
me was called up three times before
the District Court on the day pre-
ceeding the close of the session, but
was postponed each time because the
District Attorney pretended that he
was not prepared to take up the case.
When the Board of School Direc-
tors holds its next session l shall ask
the appointment of a committee, to be
selected from its own members, the
recent Grand Jury, and the leading
merchants Of Donaldsonville, which
shall be requested to enter into a
thorough examination of the tax rolls
and delinquent lists Of 1870 and 1871,
and Of my payments to the School
Treasurer with view Of ascertainine
the truth or f;slsity Of the charge against
me, and make a report Of such exam
ination to be published in the news
papers of the parish.
The total amount of school tax lev
led in 1870 was sl4e3, of which
$llO8 IS was collected. The amount
levied in 1871 was s263l O3, and of
this $2O34 25 was collected, making Il
total of S3l42 81 collected, and de-
linquent list of 1911 As. l hold re-
!ceipts from the Treasurer of the School
Board for s3l4o 81, leaving me in
debted 70 the school fund in the enor
nous sum Of So, which l am ready to
pay upon demand. These figures will
be verified by the tax rolls as the Dis
trict Attorney or the sneaking CORES
pondents Of his paper will shortly be
forced to acknowledge.
In regard to the statement in the
report Of the Grand jury that / was
paid q thousand dollars for furnishing
q copy of the tax roll of 1871 and no
such roll is on file in the Recorders
office, will simply say that the roll
was made and was offered to the for
mer Recorder, Mr.. Younger, but that
official refused to give a receipt for
the same, hence l declined to leave it
in his Office. This roll is now in the
hands of the present Collector.
Conscious that am innocent of tho
effense with which l am charged, I |
shall take steps to have my character
yindicated most completely, aud | shall
hold all traducers Of my name to d
strict accountability for their coward !
