THE STATE AUDITORS OFFICE.

The Office of the Auditor has never at any
time been q sinecure; but under the untoward
circumstances now existing, Auditor Jumel
and his select and able corps of clerks have
before them most herculean task. George
Johnson, whom Mr.. Jumel succeeds, having
stolen, as Is well known, the most important
books of the office, Mr.. Jumel unwilling to
submit to the claw sdelay," has energetically
gone to work, and Is now busily engaged
writing up new set Of books from such
vouchers and memoranda as the indefatigable
labor of his clerks can find In the almost mex
trcably mixed mass Of musty records in his
predecessor Office.
Mr. Jumels assistants are as follows:
H. Peralta, Chief Clerk.
]. A. III. Lagroue Fret Bookkeepcr.
j. H. Peralta, Second Bookkeeper.
Frank H. Green, j. j. Lane, Assistant
Bookkeepers.

We have on our table, through the courtesy
of Gen. Early, several numbers of "The
Southern Historical Society Papers" This
publication is issued by authority Of the
society under the direction Of the executive
committee. Rev. J. William Jones, D. d., an
accomplished scholar, is the editor This
work concerns every citizen of the South, and
it should receive support commensurate
with it's Importance. The first object of the
publication Is to place in durable shape all
facts and authentic reports in relation to the
Confederacy; its armies, its leaders, and its
battles The Northern press, scribblers,
romancers, poets, historians and politicians,
have been for eight years writing, talking and
rhyming the history of the war from North
ern and partisan standpoint, and doing all in
their power to blacken the character OF
our people, and write us down to
posterity as traitors rebels and brutes.
We trust there will never be any retaliation
on our part Of that sort. But we should be-
gin to take active and vigorous steps to pre-
sent our own side of the great case in its true
light before the world and before those who
are to come after US. This is the purpose of
this publication; and consequently it appeals
for support to every man who desires that the
cause of the South should be fairly presented.
But let it not be supposed that the publication
is dry record of facts and compi-
lation of reports. We have seldom
fallen upon more fascinating reading
than is contained in these papers.
The May number is a treasure in itself, its
chief paper being vigorous and trenchant
review of the Count de Paris history of our
war, by Gen. EARLY. The next number will
contain history of the battle of Gettysburg
by the pen of the same distinguished soldier
and graphic writer. The price of the publica-
ton is three dollars per annum, and it should
be subscribed to by every man who has that
sum to spare.
Mr.. ]. G. Browne, at No. 50 Camp street, is
the New Orleans agent and we trust hewill
be able in short time to send on long list
of subscribers from this State and city.

the ranks of the most corrupt and prufiigat
politicians and highwaymen. We have neve
had social relations with the class of men t,
which Judge Dibble belongs, but II report b.
true, the profligacy and extravaganza Of thei
living will better account for the impecuni
osity OF any of them than the honesty O
their dealings.
And now, rs to the pending charges, Judge
Dibble comedies that he, with public funds
cashed warrants for the government, and
the profit that he presumes was made, was
used In the political struggle then pending
| AS the cfiIninality Of Judge Dibble in q
transaction In relation to which he makes
this concession, Is to be determined by the
court we need not discuss it at length. We
may observe. however, that il Judge Dibble
| Is the innocent and unofrending person he so
| vehemently represents himself to be, he
ought to have been able TO avoid this prose-
cutlon by handing over to the Treasurer
what that official would regard as o full
equivalent for the public money-money col
lected from the taxpayers handed over
TO w. 2. Kellogg for Radical campaign pur-
poses.
That he did not use the money, as he
alleges, for himself personally, does not In
the least affect the crimnality Of the trans
action but that he gave the money Of the peo-
pie to be used against them by their bitterest
enemies and most relentless oppressors and
plunderers, aggravates his crime and places
him beyond the pale of mercy, and the law
should do It's best to bring him 10 justice
We have only space TO briefly refer to the
vtI.v
" have not been engaged in plundering the
State or the people, as you charge" We
could not expect Judge Dibble to confess his
crime, but we might attach more weight to his
earnest denial of guilt If Mr.. Kellogg, whose
friend, associate and appontee he was, had
not distinctly declared, early in 1876 that
Judge Dibble was a defaulter.
In conclusion says the Judge, "permis
me to express the belief that will not be con-
victed of crime, as you predict" Perhaps
our prediction was premature. Judge Dibble
and those with whom he is associated have
for eight years had possession Of oil the ar
chves and records of the State; they are
shrewd and able men, and there is little doubt
that they have taken such care to cover up
their tracks that It will be difficult to obtain
evidence sufficiently strong to convict them.
But that he and they are guilty, is made
plain AS day by the fact that they have en-
bezzled the books of the Auditors Office and
are engaged in criminal conspiracy and des-
perate effort to retain them. Possibly there
may not be evidence attainable to convict
Judge Dibble; but until the books Of the Au-
ditor's Office are restored intact, and all the
of the past few years made |
straight, the people Of Louisiana will believe |
that he and others would have been convicted |
II they had not concealed or destroyed the |
evidences of their guilt, and they will. as long |
as their memory and that Of the sad and
shameful era they filed survive, continue to
pc ranked and denounced as unconvicted
