Executions in Plaquemiues.

In an article in reference to the recent
hanging of the assassin Mass, in PLAQUE
mines, the Otseoer says:
TINS far, if we have been CORRECTLY in.
formed, capital punishment has seldom
bseu inflicted here. In the time. of the
la,neotable Gilbert Leonard, who held the
"thce OF parish judge from 1927 to lS45.
two slaves, blacknan and his wife, were
executed. Poisoning was their crime.
In 1861 IT 1862, a negro man was hanged,
tor murder on the plantation of Mr.. A0-
u, Lrsseps. If our memory serves us.
On Saturday the seventeenth day of No
sen'b-r. 1866, the negro Simon Brown,
was hanged for murder, on the same gal
lows that served for tn. hanging of Mass,

remote period. that is about the
var 1913, negro man committed rape on
Tue person OF white woman 10 this parish.
He vas tried, found guilty and condemned
% the gsllOws A day or two before the
sentence Of the conrt was to be carried into
effect, the sheriff resigned his office, and
as no one could be found to act as hang

Death of Jesse u. Bright. J..

1t is coincidence that so soon after the
death Of ex-Vlce President Breckenridge
should follow him to the grave another
statesman of the same school, and the one
who preceded him as presiding officer of
the Senate. The sun had not set upon the
newmade mound at Lexington before
Jesse D. Bright breathed his life away at
Baltimore. They were warm friends, per
sonally and politically. While the former
espoused the cause of the rebellion in ad-
vance Of his State. the latter, from a loyal
State, was expelled from the Senate for dis
loyalty. Since the war both have remained
out OF political life. One died in the home
that honored him; the other passed away
in the land of strangers. Both were men
of brilliant talent and strong character.
They had many traits in common, but now
that the account is made up and the balance
struck the memories of the two will receive
a very different consideration from the
living

The State Funding Board.

The following named members of thi
board met yesterding morning at nin'
O'Clock: Fiscal Agent Balwin, Secretary
Of State Deslonde, Auditor Clinton, Treas
urer Dubuclet and Mr.. Phelps, president O.
the Cotton Exchange. The absent mem
bers were Governor Kellogg, Lieutenan,
Governor Antoine and Speaker Estilette.
On motion of Mr.. Deslonde, Mr.. Balwlr
! was called to the chair.
Mr.. w. F. Halsey addressed the board
stating that some foreign bondholders have
intrusted their bonds to him for fundiog
but as they had just come to court under
the supplemental funding bill he was I'M.
able to carry out his constituents wishes
| with the promptness that they we're en-
| titled to.
As about one-eighth of the States indeb-
tedness has already been funded, it
seemed very bad to ask these parties to
not only accept sixty per cent of the face of
the bond, but to compel innocent holders
Of these securities to test the Legality of the
supplemental funding bill, thus putting
them not only to the expense of litigation
but TO vexatiOns delay.
The Fiscal Agent introduced a resolution
which passed, instructing the Attorney
General and Assistant Attorney General to
Immediately institute and prosecute to
final judgment lest case involving the
validity of bonds of. each issue mentioned
in section two Of act No. II, extra session
of 1875 where no such suit is now pending
involving the validity of any of said bonds-
and further requesting them to afford
every facility to secure an immediate and
final decision of the courts.
Mr.. Clinton introduced resolution,
which also passed, authorizing the appoint,
ment of committee of three by the chair.
to examine into the feasibility Of ascertain
ing the powers OF the board to act upon its
own authority, as given it under the orig
inal funding bill tact of No. 3lS74), in fund
ing obligations included in the supplement
tai funding bill. The resolution also in
structs the committee to report to the board
at its next regular meeting.
The chair appointed Messrs. Clinton,
Phelps and Dubuclet said committee.
1t was agreed by the board that all past
due coupons and warrants issued prior to
January 1, 1874, shall be fandable.
A large amount Of old bonds we're then
examined, some of them ordered to be
funded, about 100000 worth, and a con-
siderable amount rejected, while red
back Penitentiary bonds to considerable
amount, though not actually condemned.
we're laid over for the consideration of the
next meeting.
The board adjourned to meet again next
Wednesday at one o'clock.
Attorney General Field was present at
the meeting OF the board.

Postmaster j. NJ. G.. Parker is an ener
getic, bustliDg man. Hehas tact and can
readily perceive when reformatory change
is needed. and. what is more, can carry out
the change in view, with an economy so
pent that it can only find vent in more
favored locality. Postmaster Parker is en-.
titled to credit for having appointed lady
clerk to attend to the delivery of ladies'
letters. But as the salary of this very
competent lady clerk is much less than that
hitherto paid to the gentleman who dis
charged the same duties, it would seem that
Postmaster Parker thinks that duties
though performed with equal efficiency by
lady of letters, are not worth so much as
when attended to by a man and voter.
We are thankful, however. for what he has
cone in giving to the ladies one of their own
sex to wait upon them, and though the
reduction of salary pertaining to this bureau
de poste has not in any way reduced the
general budget, still we say we are thank

BY What Warrant !!

May IL, 1875, Superior District Court,
State ex rel. Wade II. Hough vs. Charles
Clinton. Petition for mandamus on Audi
tor for warrant for quarters salary as
judge of the Thirteenth Judicial District.
Mandamus refused, and action Of Auditor
Clinton IN refusing to issue warrants sus-
tanned.
May II, 1875 warrant issued by Auditor
Clinton to Judge Hough for quarters
salary in contravention OF judgment rem
dered ia suit just quoted above.
May 20, warrant of Judge Hough cashed
by Treasurer, as compelled hy law to do.
Deduction from above little chronological
table-Auditor Clinton may refuse to issue
warrants when it suits him. may appeal to
the courts and be sustained in Judgment
defining his powers in the premises, and
may then reverse his action and do as he
pleases, in spite of his prior refusal, not to
mention the judicial decision.
There are more of these certified vouch-
ers extant, several of them bearing an
earlier date than did the voucher of Judge
HOugh. For these debentan certificates,
however, Auditor Clinton declines to issue
warrants. Is the law seive, that Clin-
toms scruples can SO easily pass through it
Or is the fiat of court like an umbrella,
that it can be opened and closed at will
Can the Auditor register and number
vouchers in accordance with his own pecu-
liar views, and then Gull from the lot for
immediate warrant and payment such as
may accord best with his notion! Honest.
minded people think not; but those who
ponder the above facts arrive at the con
clusion that whether Clinton can do 80 or
not, he has ALREADY done so. Nay, more,
like William NJ. Tweed, his present bearing
would seem to say, What are you going to
do about it !'
