The impression intended to be created
by the article in the BugIe Call, is that
it wss my design and deliberate in
tention 10 place Mr.. Richardson in the
Registers Office under any circum-
stances.
LIST. That that is not the fact, is shown
by my sending Col. Fremaux's name
to the Senate for confirmation in 1851,
when l could nave sent in Mr.. Richard
sons if had so d, sired.
ID. My earnest protest against the
resignation of Col. FremauX and my
desire that he should remain in the
office.
He stated to me in rendering his re-
signa'ion, which was responsive to my
verbal request not to resign, that he
chopped | would not consider his re-
signation an abandonment of a trust
which l had so generously bestowed"
Sd. L never consulted Col. FremAux
about who should be his successor, and
never showed him any list of appli-
Giants, and never required his judgment
about their capacities. There was but
one application pending at the time Of
this interview, that Of Mr.. Grandjean,
Col. Fremaux's son-in-iaw.
18th. In the City of New Orleans,
in the executive Office, and mol in
Bo.on Eaaye, Col. Fremaux, in
February, 1892 told me of his intention
to resign, and said that it was absolute
ly essential that r. practical surVpvor
should be appointed to fill the Office.
At his solicitation the board of en-
gineers made the same statement to
me, and recommended the appoint
ment of Mr.. Grandjean, who put in
formal application, the FIRST filed, and
the only one filed in New Orleans,
on February 10th, 1882
After this, Col. Fremaux called at
the executive Office, and told me that
he had heard that j G. Richardson was
and applicant, aud that he desired to

Gel. L.. j. FreHaaux,

A I'D. reporter yesterday called
upon Col. l.. j. Fremaux, ex-register
of the Land Office, at his residence on
Prieur street, for the purpose of securing
an interview with him concerning the
article published in the Bugle Call,
which charges Mr.. J. q. Richardson,
ex-State Land Register, with the
forgery or alteration of certain land
orders, and also reflects upon the ap-
pointment of Richardson by Gov. S. D.
McEnery. Col. FremauX evidently
anticipated the purpose of the visit, for
when the reporter presented his card
Col. Fremaux quickly returned the bit
of bristol board with the remark: 81
decline TO talk to the newspapers, sir.
l have been harassed by other repre-
sentatives of the various papers in the
city concerning the article published
in this mornings Picayune. All that
| can say is that l did not authorize
the publication of any such article. /
am sorry that such an article has been
published, but / suppose as it has been
done that it must take its course"
1.-THE charges published in the
BugIe Call, colonel, have created
quite stir in the city, and the general
impression is that you are the author
of the charges.
~ had nothing to do with the
publication of the charges, and cannot
see why such an impression should
prevail, but in the course of time the
public will doubtless learn differently.
The article was published in paper in
st. James parish, which I know but
little about"
"If you are not the author of the
The Daily telegraph. (Monroe, La.) 1870-1886, 1883-10-18

charges, colonel, you should in justice
to youiselfand the public make state
ment concerning the matter"
sNo, sir. had nothing to 90 with
he matter, and do not propose to be
interviewed, or TO answer any ques-
tiops."
"If you VIII not entertain or answer
any questions will you I've kind enough
10 read some questions which have
prepared ~
ono, sir. | will not. Other re-
porters had questions prepared, the
same As yourself, hut positively refuse
to hear or answer them. If read yonr
questions it VIII be tantamount to the
questions having been put, l refuse to
answer any questions, sir"
The reporter seing that Col. Fremaux
was determined not to make state
ment concerning the matter in question,
babe him very good evening.

show me by evidence in his possession
that he was unworthy Of the office.
He then exhibited to me an order,
one only, | think, drawn on the Au-
ditor's Office for the seturn of money
for cancellation of entry.
told Col. FremauX that | would
inquire into the matter, and if Richard
sou had altered the order or caused it
to be altered, IWCuld not appoint him.
Gu investigation the following facts
were a3certained; That Mr.. Richard
son had applied TO The registers Office
for an order for the return Of money
for cancelled entry, that Mr.. Bres,
the clerk of Col. FremauX, the register,
had prepared aud written the order
that Richardson had presented if to
the Auditors Office, and was informed
there was no fund on which this order
could be drawn; that Richardson re-
turned the order to the land office,
and Mr.. Bres, Col. Fremaux's clerk,
made the alterations, SO that the
amount should be paid out Of the fund
for sales made prior to 1866. The cam
celled entry upon which Richardson
predicated his application for the re.
turn of money was made subsequent to
1865. Mr.. Bres stated to me that he
alone was responsible for the alteration.
and did it without any evil intention,
as be thought the State owed the
money; and it was immaterial out of
which fund it was paid.
The order so altered was presented to
the Auditors Office, and Auditor Jumel
noticed the alteration and returned the
same to the registers Office. Auditor
Jumel sent for Mr.. Bres, the clerk Of
Col. Fremaux, who made the altera-
ton, and inquired of him his reasons
for 50 doing, when he made the same
statement he afterwards made to me.
Mr.. Bres further stated to me that he
alone was responsible, and that
Richardson had nothing to do with the
alterations, erasures and interlineations.
l attributed the attack upon Richard
sou to zeal in behalf of Col. FremauX's
son~in- law, Mr.. Grandjean.
This order had been issued in the
early part Of 1850, and the first mention
of it to me by Col. Fremaux was in
February 1882, thus keeping the matter
10 himself tor a period of two years,
and IN the meantime keeping Mr.. Bres
in his employ until the date of his re.
signatiOn in March, 1882.
Mr.. Jumel administered a severe
reprimand to Mr.. Bres, with the in
timation that such a transaction
should not again occur. Mr.. Jumel
thought that Bres did not realize the
extent Of the wrong he was doing,
and attributed it to gross carelessness
and ignorance, and it is reasonable to
suppose that Col. Fremaux so inter-
preted his acts, lis he kept Bres in his
Office until the date of bis resignation,
and from the fact that Mr.. Jumel, TO
have no misconstl uction about the
matter, called at Col. Fremaux's office
in person, taking the warrants or orders
with him, and called his attention to
the irregularity.

cations of the different applicants.
The opinion then expressed was to the
effect that his knowledge of the capaci-
ty and integrity of severaliof the appli.
cants would warrant him in fully in
dorsiug them for the position, but as
he happened to see among them the
name of one particular in dividual
whom he k'eO to be dishonest he would
specially ask the Governor not to ap-
point him.
The man whom Gov. Sam. ID. Me-
Emery was 80 urgently requested not
to appoint was James q. Richardson.
Called upon for proof the late incum-
bent of the State Land Office produced
for Gov. McEnery's inspection two
land warrants issued by him to said
James g. Richardson, the date, figures,
ETC., of which had been altered and
forged over his signature by this honest
applicant. The detection of the for
geries was made by State Auditor AL
len Jumel, who himself brought the
forged warrants back to the Land
Registers Office,
Now, when in the face If such an
accusation, fully backed by unrefuta-
BILE evidence, we find that Gov. Nc
Emery appointes said James G. Rich
ardson, the former partner in the land
business of his brother John, to the
position of State Land Register, and
that it is only after said appointee has
acquired full control over the work
ings of the State Land Office that
John McEnery succeeds in consumma-
ting his prviously attempted peculiar
land scrip transactions can any sane
man raise this second plea Of conf.
dence abused in favor Of the present
Governor and would be candidate for
reelection?
Where we malicIously inclined, we
would be tempted under the circum-
stances to quote the old adage, "Birds
of feather flock together"
State Auditor Allen JumeI and AS
sistant Secretary of State Arroyo, being
in Baton Rouge, can furnish our friend
Jastremski with the full details Of the
above alleged facts.
In conclusion, we will say to the
Baton Rouge Capitoiian-Advocate, IN
the words of Milton:
"These shifts refuted, answer thine
appellant" APoLHoN.

Then what becomes of it:''

Large quantities of it are ground up and

can afford to make pure beer, and guess
they do 1t; but this bark il f%ed up here
and sent TO other places, ] suppose you
know that brewers do not now report the
ingredients of which their beer is made,
as they once did. The courts have de-
eided that they are not compelled to do
so. haTe made some casual inquiries,

the principal substances used. 4 little
