THE ATTORNEY GENERALS LETTER.
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
State of Louisiana.
New Orleans, Nov. "a, 1875.
To the Honorable the President and members OF
the Board Of Liquidation
Gentlemen "A communication has been
transmitted to me through your Secretary,
asking my written opinion whether certain
warrants issued by the late Auditor Graham to
N. A. DeLizardi, in July, 1870, are legal and
can be funded. Before I proceed to answer
YOUR communication 1 would most respect
fully remark that all the information sought
to be derived through this office could readily
and more appropriately be obtained through
the Auditors Office, showing under what ap-
propriations and from what fund these war
rants were to be paid.
This Office is not an accounting or auditing
Office, and, in the nature OF things can not
tell whether warrants have been issued &C.
cording to law unless the warrants are before
me, in order to ascertain upon what appro-
priations they have been drawn.
Your board can not be ignorant of the fact
that the 1O4th article of the Constitution de-
clares "that nc money shall be drawn from
the treasury but in pursuance OF speolhed
APPROXIMATIONS in pursuance OF law, and as
YOU have two eminent lawyers upon your
board. thew would be able without much
trouble to determine in all cases OF warrants
whether they had been Issued in accordance
with this clause of the Constitution; partlcu-
larry so, when the warrants must specify under
what appropriations they were drawn
From the letter Of yeur board, accompanied
by the warrants, it was impossible for me to
tell whether they were legally issued without
first obtaining copies OF the warrants ana
then making an examination into the history
and laws under which bonds have been issued
to the Mexican Gulf Railroad, when they
were due, how many had been redeemed and
how many outstanding.
do not wish your board to understand
that object to giving you any information in
oil cases where the same properly pertains TO
my Office and relates to questions OF law.
The copies of warrants which l have obtain
ed, and which herewith enclose-the first
one for $1,000 IS, was issued in payment OF
two bonds of one thousand dollars each and
interest, payable out of fund realized out of
sale of bonds, issued under act So of the ex-
ira session of 1870; the other two warrants
were issued upon coupons due on bonds OF
the same description, and payable out Of the
same fund.
I presume there is no dispute about the
fact that the bonds and coupons. for the pay
ment of which these warrants were issued,
were valid obligations against the State, and
II presented would be fundable, but they
have been delivered up, Cancelled, and

FUNDING BOARD.
The Iafitte Letter Discussed.

The Funding Board met in regular session
Wednesday. All the members present put
John Phelps, Esq.
The following resolutions offered by Gov.
Kellogg were adopted
Resol,ed, By the Board Of Liquidation of
the State of Louisiana, that this board has
learned with regret that Mr.. John Phelps, who
was President of the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change and has acted as ex-officio member Of
the Funding Board for some months past, has
declined to allow his name to be proposed for
denomination to the position he SO long and
SO honorably filled as the head OF
one of the most important CONNER
cial bodies of this city and State;
that by his services in connection with the
funding Of the State debt, rendered often at
great personal inconvenience and sacrifice of
valuable time, and by the close scrutiny he
has gwen to every obligation presented for
funding, and the jealous watchtulness over
the interests Of the State, Mr.. Phelps has en-
titled himself to the thanks of every taxpayer
of the State, and this board trusts he will re-
consider his determination not to permit his
name to be used for reelection as President
of the Cotton Exchange, and that this board
and the State at large may continue to have
the advantage Of his experience and as mem
Der of the Board OF Liquidation.
Gov. Kellogg, referring to certain state
ments in tie letter of Mr.. j. B. LATTE, and
in refutation thereof, submitted statement
of all the bonds funded, the amount Of each
issue outstanding, etc, etc
In concluding his remarks on the subject
he said 81 have noticed that those persons
who have endeavored to get through the board
fraudulent obligations are the first to com,
plain the loudest of the proceedings"
Mr.. Baldwin desired to know whether Mr..
Lafitte had endeavored to pass fraudulent
obligations.
Auditor Clinton responded that he had, and
went on to state that the board had passed
some of the two million and half issue te
the Chattanooga Railroad Company.
In response to inquiries by Mr.. Bald win
the Auditor stated that the board had passed
them in error; that they we're mixed up with
q lot of subsidy bonds, and the two issue:
were so much alike-they being printed from
the same plate, with one line alone reading
different. that it took close scrutiny to detec
them. He said that the error of the board
had been corrected in his office, where the
fraudulent bonds we're detected.
Mr., Baldwin called for the minutes, aud
under date of March 26, 1875, it was found
that John B. L4fltte had made application
for the funding Of one hundred and thirty
two subsidy bonds, and that the application
passed.
Auditor Clinton stated that it was dscov
cred in his Office that thirty-two Of the bond
specified as subsidy bonds were OF the tw'
and half million issue.
He had refused new bonds for these ant
returned the old.
This ended the discussion, and the Boar,
went into consideration of the following ap
plications

The Bank Of California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. s. Mr.. Miles
stated on the 9th, positively there is no over
issue of the stock Of the Bank of California :;
that the stock list is all right. It may be
stated on the authority of the officers of the
Bank that the runlors which gained currency
can be traced to the misrepresentation of
persons holding stock who were fearful Of
losses on account of the Bulletins reports
about Ralston overdrawing his account and
fully explained by him. He constantly gave
to Industries on the Pacific coast, which he
charged against himself and his estate has
proved fully adequate to meet them. These
drafts he made with the full knowledge of
the directors and it is not even charged that,
at any time he used his credit in the Bank
for his own aggrandizement. The Bulletin
is silent, evidently intimidated by the strong
feeling of Indignation growing in the COM
munities which will find utterance at the
meeting to be held this evening.
Col. Barnes, Attorney for the Bank Of
California, and an intimate and warm per-
sonal friend of Ralston, will address the
meeting and make full statement of Raj
ston's affairs. y. .-..... ". l-

which is pretty nearly covered by insurance.
The building was owned BY DR.. A. Coles,
and was valued at $50, 900 The loss on the
machinery is about $4,000. The building
adjoining on the west was owned by d. W..

The virgin Mary's wedding Ring.

An old Monkish legend relates The story
that Joseph and Mary used wedding ring,
and that it was set with onyx. The legend
says that il was discovered in the year 900,
when it was given by a jeweler from Jeru-
salem to lapidary Of Clusiunl, who had
been sent to Rome by Marquis Of Etru-
ria to make purchases for her. The jew
eler told the lapidary of the preciousness Of
the relic, but he despised it, and left it for
several years among other articles Of infe-
rior value. However, miracle revealed
to him its genuineness, and it was placed
in a church, where it worked many cl,ra-
tive wonders. In 1873 it was deposited
with some Franciscans at Clusiun,, from
whom il was stolen; and ultimately It
found it way to Persia. where churchwas
built for it, and it still per- formed miracles.
Hone spoiIs this pretty story by saying the
miracles we're triliing in comparison with
it's different churches in Europe at the
lime, and miraculous powers Of multiply
ing itself 1t existed in eacl, ring being as
genuine as the others; it was paid the same
honors as the devout.
