The weather for a portion, ct least, of
last week, was of the most delicious In
dian Summer sort. Tropical in its haze
genial warmth and luxurious mellow
ness, while autumnal tints of every shade
and variety of hue, made the woods and
fields indescribable in their splendors,
and radient with the glories of the dying
year.

MAJOR MONCURE'S SUIT.

We present, as an indication OF the
line Of defense in the suit for the office
OF Treasurer, the following article from
the Republican:
MR. MoNcURE BETWEEN TWO STOOLS.
The pleadings in the case of Moncure
Us. Duhuclet and the Returning Board
have been published, both the petition
and the rejoinder. We found some
difficulty i'll ascertaining from the
plaintiffs petition what legal ground he
relied upon as the cause of action. 1t
is true that he alleged his belief that he
was elected to the office Of Treasurer
last fall, and prayed the court to Gust
Mr.. Dubuclet, reinstate himself, and
order his salary to be paid him. But
anybody, especially one who had been
\ candidate, could easily file such Il
petition. The difficulty is, in finding
the proof to sustain the allegation.
The plaintiffs counsel no doubt
thought of this, and have cndcavorei
to strengthen their case by snmmoning
four witnesses, and ut tho same time
asking for Il mandamus, which If
granted will virtually put testimony in
their mouths. The four gentlemen
were members of the late Returning
1''si", NASSSiS. w Wis, >uSsl-
nave and Kenner. AS II sort of prepar-
alton for the witness stand, they are
ordered to assemble together in their
alleged official capacity and count, or
rather recount, the returns of certain
parishes which have already been pass
ed upon by them and rejected under
the solemnity of their oath of office. If
II mandamus be issued rs prayed for,
the witnesses will be directed to bring
in testimony which is dictated by
counsel for plaintiff, us no other result
of their reconsideration and reversal or
their former action is expected or de
sired. Being functus Otticio as Re
turning Board for the late election, they
can only be brought into court as wit
nesses for the plaintiff. And their tes
timony will certainly damage his case
unless an order to shape it to suit their
purpose can be obtained from the court
1t is altogether Il novel suit, and one
which it will pcrpleN tho plaintiffs at
torneyS to reconcile with either our
statutes or the established rules OF pro-
cecdingS i'll the courts.

THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL.

From the Now York FvcninE Post.l
Edward Pierrcpont, The newly
appointed Attorney General, was born
in New Haven, Conn, in 1917. He
was fitted for college by Noah Porter,
now President of Yale, and was grad
uatea at the latter college in 1897, in
the same class with William NJ. Evarts
and Chief Justice Waite. He was pre-
pared for the bar ut tho Yale law
school, then in charge Of Judge Daggctt
and was admitted to practice in 1910.
At that time he removed TO Columbus,
Ohio. Here he remained five years,
when hc removed to this city, where
he has lived over since. He was elected
Judge of the Superior Court to succeed
the late Chief Justice Oakley, and re-
ton for three years.
Judge Pierrepont was an active sup

FREAK OF NATURE.

On Wednesday night last Il circum-
stance occurred at one of the passes of
the Mississippi river which illustrates
the uncertain condition of these outlets.
1t was at Pass-a-POutre, and near the
channel. During that night an island
comprising an area of about eight acres,
rose up out of the deep, and now lies
fully eight feet high above the surround
ing water.
The previous day, where now the
island is, was an uiibrokcn surface OF
wafer, without a sign of the event
which TRANSFERRED during the night.
The circumstance has awakened much
speculation AS to the causes which pro-
duced this truly remarkable result, and
yesterday Il number Of gentlemen went
down to the pass, on the revenue cutter,
John a. Dix, to sec the island. The
sudden appearance Of what are known
as mud Jumps i'll the passes of the river
is no unusual occurrence; but we have
no recollection Of any on so large Il
scale as this Onc.--N. q. II"Se$.

IN. -. IlcaNune.l
From the Galveston News of the tth
inst. we learn that an unfortunate and
fatal affrny occurred at Moses Bluff,
Liberty county, Texas, late on Satur-
day last. Two brothers, Capt. Il, G.
and g. s. Eortier and Ludolph Gillard
had difficulty with Azcno l.acour
and his two sons, Joseph and Archie,
in which Mr.. lacour was dangerously
wounded, Joseph slightly and Archie
killed. Capt. Fortier was dangerously
and his brother slightly wounded. Mr..
Gillard alone escaped unharmcd. The
forticr party were arrested and taken
to tho town of Liberty. Tho parties in
this affair arc all related. For want OF
Il Jail the three prisoners were quarter
cd in Bristley's Hotel, where they re-
manned under guard since Sunday
evening.
About 10 o'clock on the morning of
the 18th inst. party Of thirty or forty
mon, armed and maslscd, entered the
hotel, overpowcrcd the guard and got
into the prison room, where they kill
cd the two brothers, Forticr and Gill
lard.
The Liberty correspondent of the
Galveston News, from whom we take
the above facts, says that by this sad
affair four mon have lost their lives,
four widows have hccu made and ton
children mourn the loss of their fnthers.
MIR. AHono Lacour, who was wound
ed on Saturday by the Forticr party, is
supposed to he dying.
No information is given rs to the
cause of the difficulty
All the parties in this unfortunate
affair resided formerly i'll Now Orleans.
Mr.. Il. g. Eorticr was in 1873 and the
early part of 1874 captain of police of
the Second Precinct at Pacanier sta
ton, i'll the Fourth District of this city.
Capt. FOrticr was u handsome,
courteous and brave man. Ola gem
erous and impulsivc nature, he had
made many friends in this his native
city. lie had been second in many of
the ducls which have occurred in New
Orleans.

MORE LIGHT WANTED.

Last week we commenced an inquiry
into Frank Morey's Bayou Bartholo-
NEW job, and we expect to pursue the
Investigation until we have learned all
about the matter from those who know,
and ask all who feel an interest in know
ing what becomes Of the money that is
ground out of the taxpayers to assist us
in our investigations. We have re-
ceived considerable light on this subject
since we first instituted the investiga-
ton, and AS we advance it assumes
more the appearance of being a pretty
big swindle.
One gentleman tells us that n few
willows were cut down-probably $500
worth of work done--anothcr says u
few logs were cleaned out, aud ut II
big estimate the work would probably
amount to $1,000 and person who
claims to have had the job OF doing
tho work informs It's that lie had eigHt
hands nj work on the bayou fro reeA.s.
And for this work we are informed
that the Board of Audit has allowed II
claim of $4,000.
In our search for light on this subject
we have made II discovery which
appears to account for tho dissenting
opinion Of II certain Chief Justice (God
save the mark, y for wc are told that he
had an interest in this job. If this is
true we can very readily account for
his being in favor of allowing tho claim,
when it was twice rejected by his asso-
ciatcs. These facts arc given as we
have received them and not from our
personal Knowledge; but we want to
know more Of the matter, and therefore
call for more light.
AS we have before remarked, we do
not propose to censurc any one without
cause or to condemn any ono unheard,
but we do propose to probe this matter
to the bottom and learn if the people
have been defrauded by any such job,
because it is our bounden duty to do SO,
and to screen no one from censure
