The principal theme of conversation in State
circles on Thursday morning wGs the proposed
election Of
Fiscal AGENv,
which the Funding Board did at their meeting
soon after noon, and no sooner had that election
become known than the foreign bendholders

with notice to appear and answer to the John

pose and hence the difference Of opinion, whish
will finally be sttled perhaps by an opinion
from the Attorney General.
Later in the day the parish registrar called
upon the Attorney General to ascertain his opin
ion rs to the right of the city to demsud the
books, and subsequently, Mr.. Landry informed !,
