MR.. DIBBLE,

Henry g. Dibble who was yesterday
arrested on the charge, filed by Mr.. Fin
ney, the District Attorney. of embez-
zling State funds, has played quite
conspicuous role in Louisiana politics
during the past eight years. He Is one
Of the smartest and most INSCRIPTIONS
of the band Of carpet-bag politicians
and plunderers who came into the
State after the war, and by his superior
come eminent and influential in an
era when rscality and audacity con-
stituted politics, and plumber
the end Of politics. He
was one of Warmoth's ablest lieuten-
ants, and he has been tower of
strength to Kellogg, both in sustaining
his usurpation and in thwarting the
vigorous efforts of the late Attorney
General Field to expose the corrupt
and criminal practices Of Kellogg and
Clinton. Dibble was at one time made
Judge of the Eighth District Court.
Kellogg appointed him Assistant Attor-
ney General, that the State might be
quietly robbed with impunity, and in
the last election he was the Radical
candidate for Congress in the Second
District against Hon. E. J. Ellis.
That Dibble will be landed in the
Penitentiary, if justice be done, no man
in Louisiana has the least doubt. He
was chief among the rascals who, for
SO many years, despoiled this State, but
who having all the archives, records,
and in charge Of their creatures and
tools, have so sklilfully covered up their
tracks that 1t is difficult to obtain the
clear evidence of their notorious crimi-
nality. And yet Mr.. Dibble is not the
worst Of the gang. Certainly he
ought to be vigorously prosecuted
and sent to the Penitentiary;
but when the facts are all
discovered there is no doubt that, if
the law prevails, W. Pitt Kellogg, instead
of representing Louisiana in the United
States Senate, will join Mr.. Dibble in
Baton Rouge. Nor will the list Of con-
victed criminals end with these two.
There are host of distinguished politi-
cal robbers among US, and the energy
of the law should not be relaxed, nor
should the vigilance Of its ministers
cease until its hand is upon the whole
gang of rascals who have for years held
saturnalia of robbery and every
species of crime in this State, in de-
fiance of decency and in the face Of the
| whole country, fancying that justice
had persisted under the shadow of the
sword, and that the CLEAN of the
bayonet heralded the dawn Of the
millennium OF fraud, forgery and I'M
licensed plumber.
