In the matter OF the trial OF the mo-
tion made in the Superior District
Court by Hon. II. G. Dibble, tho Assist
ant Attorney General, Col. Field, the
Attorney General, severely censured
the motives that brought about the Gre
alton Of the office of the Assistant At
torncy General. which no charged was
made In derogation Of the consu-
tuition Of the State, which he
considered unnecessary and without
cause, as ho was not only able but Mt all
times ready to perform all the duties
and attend TO all tho cases in which the
State was Interested.
He further said that he had no know
ledge OF the appointment OF Mr.. Dib-
bic 10 ,ake upon himself the duties OF
the Office 10 which he had been elected by
tho people. that his office was created
by tho constitution and he was an officer
co equal with the Governor himself. He
said that though he occupied ~ room
contiguous to the Governors, seeing him
almost daily and hourly. no mention
of Mr.. Dibblc's appointment had been
made to him that Mr.. Dibble and the
Governor had been repeatedly and prl'
vately in close consultation with eaoh
other. without any communication hav-
ing been made to him about the matter.
He easily devised tho object OF their
motives in his own words II desire to

The Attorney General had. through
Judge COTTON. requested continuance
OF the case. This was refused, and the
Attorney General was sent for to the
Supreme Court and made the above re
marks: when, upon consent OF both
parties, and the Assistant Attorney Gen
eral having discIaimed any intention Of
intruding upon the office OF the
Attorney General, by consent Of par
ties. that part of the injunction in
hibiting the Assistant Attorney Genera
from attending to the duties or his

THE ST. TAMMANY IMBROGLLO.
Kellogg Attempts 10 Remove a C"i"red
OfIlcial and Reward Carpet Bigger.

A good deal of feeling has been
aroused in the parish Of st. Tammany.
by Kellogg's attempt to remove LIE
Blanc. the collored Tax Collector, and
to appoint Jno. Il. Leet, late Enrolling
Clerk of the Senate, In his place. lie
Blanc is q worthy colored mnp. who has
faithfully performed his duties and
gained tho confidence Of the people of
both races. A protest against his re-
moyal has been signed by nearly oil the
white citizens OF his part Of the parish
and tho Indignation at Kellogg's el1ort
to su,nmarily remove him Ia very gon-
eral. We know little about beet, but
are Informed that no is an average car
pct -bagger. Feeling In this matter is
running pretty high In st. Tammany,
and tho shooting affair which occurred
in this city Saturday evening, between
Bosuue and Leet, grew out OF this I'M
broglio. Bosque being q supporter OF
Lo Blame.
Leblanc refuses very properly to sur
render his Office. He was regularly APP
pointed to 1t and his N(pointment was
confirmed. Mr.. Kellogg, therefore. has
no right tn remove him. The Governor
of the State has no power to indiscrlm-
inatoly remove officials ut his pleasure.
Pretty much such n proceeding as TINS
on the part Of Kellogg was ono of the
grounds Of his impeachment the law OF
the case being embraced in articles l22
and 1o6 of tho Constitution. MS follows
All officers shall continue to discharge
tho duties of their offices until their sue
cessors have bsen nducted into Office.
except In cases Of Impeachment or sls-
pensions.
All civil officers shall be remov..
nble by mn address OF twolthirds OF
the members elect to each house OF the
General Assembly, except those whose
removal Ia otherwise provided for In TINS
constitution. t.'
Everything considered, lie Blanc re-
fuses to abdioate and he has the
endorsement Of the best citizens OF his
parish. There is no legitimate cause
for his removal. and kellogg's purpose
to do so he regards as mn uncopstitu
tional discrimination against him on
account Of race and color. We hope
LIE Blanc will stand to his position until
Kellogg finds sonie reason for removing
him other than that he Is u colored man.

The Republicans are trying to excuse
Belknap's sin by raking up, lew OLD
Democratic irregularities, with the hope
that the attention Of the people may
be called off from the Radical rotten,
ness which is rapidly being, dragged
forth into the light. The debauchery,

THE RETURNING BOARD.
nts MaiutRIuaurc Has Not Discouraged
The conservatives.
From Tho Thlhodaux Sonlinel.I

from tho ThbOdauX Sentinel.
The fact that the Legislature has ad-
iolrned without repeating the election
law, while it destroys the hopes OF re-
form in this matter which the broken
pledges Of the Radicals held, will fail OF
the effect they expect from 1t, which was
to so dshearten the Conservatives by
the hopelessness Of entering the politi-
cal race handicapped by fore
gone fraudulent count, that the
minority would abstain from
voting. We believe that the effect viii!
he the reverse: That our people will
again carry tho State fairly, and enjoy
tho result Of the victory, or force the
General Government to add TO the
many .o,mts aghinst the maladminis-
tration by a repetition OF the outrage, OF
military interference. 3, We no not be-
leve that IL will dare to do this on tho
eve Of an election which may bring into
power n party ready to vindicate the
Constitution and any violation OF u;
We repeat that our people are not
to repeat the campaign VI "a. In

tetnber. with tho difference that expert
epce may suggest other ihnd effectual
methods Of dealings with our treacber-
o,ls foes. TO the few who would supenly
surrendet. and impotently curse the
government which such surrender would
firmly establish. we say TINT when the
Republicans cast a majority OF the
votes, they are entitled to the sway, and
we for one shall cease TO abject TO their

their mode. f.a
In the coming campaign every man
should consider that his vote Is the only
protest against the foul Republican
ilsurpation and shame upon the Louisi-
aniarl who fails to record that protest.

REPUBLICAN IGNORANCE.

IFrom the 80. Louis KepnkIIcan.

from the st. Louis Republican.
It Is strange that the Republican
leaders have nothing TO say about the
whisky frauds They do not appear to
have heard Of them. We turn our ears
to Senator Morton for q hearty denun-
citation OF these colossal villanies, but he
is too much occupied with the Missis-
sippi election OF last year to speak Of
them. We turn to Mr.. Blaine, but he Is
as silent as il he were dumb.
We look to Mr.. Conkling, but he, too,
is reticent. We look to the Republican
Senate, but all that we see there Is q
throng Of Republican Senators, eagerly
gathered round the acquitted but not
vindicated Babcock to congratulate him
on his narrow escape from the Peniten-
tiary.
What is the explanation Of this slight
ing treatment OF 50 important IA matterI
The danger that threatens the country
is not Andersonyille- as Mr. Blaine pre-
tends; nor the Louisiana Kuklux, us

Jefferson Davis, nor the late rebellion,
nor tie rebel debt, nor anything from
that duarter-but the corruption that ie

hear 1t told With batcd breath, and listened to by

the adventure is not deemed impossible. The

BEECHER AND THE CANADIANS.

cPeC7A1 IVSpHtCH ~ 4He 1F9o@1se.
TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 23.-It is asserted that
an anonymous letter has been received By meua-
bers OF the Young MEMS Christian Association
in London, who engaged Mr.. Bcechcr to lecture
in Canada. declaring that the writer and others
intend to assail the lecturer with
offensive missiles should he venture
to appear on public platform
in the city. The Globe. in commenting on this,
warns all who have any intention Of interfering
with the lecturer in any illegititnate manner
that they will do so at their peril. Mr.. Beecher
arrives hereto-night and lectures Monday night.
There is considerable excitement regarding his
visit. He will occupy the pulpit Of the North
crn Congregational Church tomorrow forenoon
and evening.
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
MONTREAL, Sept. 23.-On the day. after Mr..
Bcccher's lecture here a seizure before judg-
mcnt was issued to hold all the moneys received
for the sale of tickets to the lecture. The writs
were served on all who took tickets to sell for
the agent. It appears that creditor Of the
agent got wind Of the state Of matters, and
took this means OF securing his claim: The re-
ccipts from the lecture were over 81, 100.
