DEAR SIR Mr.. r. r. Biosxat.
who by a streak Of good luck is the
Editor Of the Democrat, instead Of
occupying quarters elsewhere, less
congenial to his enquiring DISPOSE
ton, has OF late been on an explor.
ing expedition, and has been call.
ing on most every body in general,
and certain parties in particular,
for explanations to satisfy his Gu
riosity. Since explanations seem
to be the order of the day, have
concluded to try my hand just once
for luck anyhow. If Mr.. Biossat,
had considered the wisdom of tie
old saw: People 'cho Hve IN glass
houses shouM not Mro,c stones, ]
would not have been called upon
to put him on the stand, and to ap.
point myself n self constituted cross
examiner to ask him for explana-
tons that may be embarrassing for
him to answer. Strange to say, it
is n letter that this embodiment Of
true Democracy, wishes explained
Now, it would have seemed to me
that the subject of letters, or q let
ter, would have been the last one
Mr.. Il. II. Biossat should have ven
turcd upon, considering the Difficult
ty he had in explaining several let.
ter transactions, to the satisfaction
of the parties interested. If the
facts had been given the publicity
that l now invite Mr.. Biossat to
give to his explanations of those
certain transactions, ard about
which | will he much more explicit
il he desires it, "tl'e public might
have seen what sort of q Democrat"
and Warehouse keeper he was.
Will this honest gentleman-this
distinguished and consistent patriot,
be kind enough to explain to this
community in whose name | now
speak, what became Of that S14l9
OF the Public School Fund, for
which he, as Parish Treasurer, was
~ dcfaulter, for which he was sued
and made no defense, and which
was short time ago paid Ivy his
Securitiesi l am yearning just
now, and know that this comm.
nifty is exceedingly anxious to he
informed as to what did become Of
that Fourteen Hundred and Nine.
teen Dollars Of the School Fund.
Will Mr.. Biossat, have the still
further kindness to inform "the
public" for whom and in whose
name ask, what became of that
$500 Parish tax funds that was
collected by the Tax Collector OF
Vernon Parish and placed in his
hands, and which has never been
accounted Cor, and for the recovery
of which there IS now y suit pend.
ing? And perhaps Mr.. Biossat
will not object to my calling upon
him in the name of "the public" to
explain that little matter Of $3.50
Parish Script, for which the Tax
Collie tor has bis receipt, and which
also figures in that said suit now
pending. If Mr.. Biossat feels any
delicacy in assuming the burden Of
explaining these little matters which,
are Of course. of no Importance, and
do not at all effect him in his posi-.
ton as the expounder Of true Dem.
ocratic doctrines and rs tire moutl,
piece Of "the public," may fii"d it
my duty to publish the records itin
those cases. If tho gentleman
should not be inclined to favor me
with the explanation of those ualv-
able letter transactions while he
was keeping Warehouse, I may be
forced to ask DR.. 4. Il. Smart, and
Mr.. Phillip Winnfrcc of Vernon
Parish, Capt. John c. Mitchell and
Mr.. Willie French, Mr.. Alexander
Glucksman and others just what
they know about them.
When / presume to ask so high
a dignitary in the democratic
party, of which I have always been
and am now, but an humble follow.
or as Mr.. Biossat claims to be, for an
