he has besn lecturing at Atlanta, Macon,

social greetings with Mr.. II. Filhiol, OF
Monroe, yesterday. He IS a gentleman so
thoroughly identified with the history. fair
fame and material welfare Of our State.
and so honest and conservative in his views.
that it is a matter for sincere regret that
mere political nomenclature should keep
him from being an honored member OF the
Republican party. For we honestly be.
lieve he has within him the material for as
excellent a Republican as there is to be
found in North Louisiana
Mr.. Fihioi is grandson OF :he renowned
Don Juan F.lhiol, who. as commandonte
under Governor Miro, explored the waters
of the Ouachita in fstboats, and estab.

subsequently became the site OF the city of
Monroe. This was in l7S5. and generation
after generation have been born on the
same historic spot, Mr.. II. Filhiol, now in

Comments of the Press.
New YORK. January 20.-All the papers
this morning have more or less to say about
the Presidents latest nomination toc Chief
Justice.
The So. remarks: .'Mr. Waite Is we'll
spoken of by those who are acquainted with
him. but the fact that he is not generally
known to the country will render his nomf'-
nation for Chief Justice less satisfactory
than il might he Otherwise
From the World; ''If President Grants

wonder by the country, and DISAPPOINTMENT

had any practice in the Supreme Cour..
We have" it says. ''no doubt Mr.. Waite
possesses some very good negative quail.
ties and III conclusion:
''The eight associate Justices San ie. ides
every case as ably without Mr.. Waits as.
with aim. and the Senate would do ser.
vice TO the country by keeping the chief
justiceshis vacant until we get President
who has soms appreciation of the qual.i.as
tiSas requisite for that great station.''
From the Herald: mo other reason IS ap.

man he considers best. and not the man ths'
country considers best
From she Tribune. .'Of course. Mr.. Waite
IS not the bes: man who could be named.

why he should not be promptly confirmed
! To that great mass of serious people, who
believe in the principles for which we went
10 war. and who regard it as the duty of
the national Legislature to fortify and d.
fend those principles by statute, and The
duty OF the Judiciary to take care that they
receive no detriment through hostile cons

! the correct political antecedents of Mr.,

! From the Times: "The nomination Of

signed j. A. Green, first book keeper

rors III his books. amo uniting to $il2, 2,GUS IL.
In order to screen himself from the re.
sponsibilitv which occurred either by his
carelessness or otherwise. he attempts TO
throw it upon my shoulders.
Without proceeding any further. l will
state that the report OF the State Treasurer.
as submitted to the Governor. j. cOrrec, in
every respect, and I defy the book k-keeper
of the Auditor or any one else to show the
contrary.
So far as 70 the checking part, will state
tina: | offered the gentlemen six mon tbs
ago 10 check his books with mine, which he
declined. alleging as he said. that he did
no: see any use for the same. as he felt con.
tdent that his books were correct. Bein
myself satisfied of the correctness OF my
books did not insist. But about the twen'
cv.elghtn or twenty nlnIR OF DecemOers
1873, the time to make the settlement with
all the tax collectors throughout the State,
! the book keeper of the Auditor called upon

mine ioy the year. ] stated that it was

! do so, but that my books were at his dis.
| posal. He accepted and had an assistant
assigned from his own Office. Had had an
! error in my books, while they were check
| ing it is very strange that such compe'
| tent accountant failed to discover any such
errors. especially when it is known that no
entry can be made on my books except by
a written order from the Auditors office.
1t is very curious, after the above, that
| he should acknowledge publicly that it is
only through the ledger of the State treas

| to the treasury through the Auditors office.
! l was no. aware that / was both the
book keeper of the State treasury Office and
