EVERY parish in Louisiana was rep
resented at the Exposition last winter,
and each was benefited greatly and
every one OF them ought to be, and
doubtless will be, represented even
more fully at the recognized Exposi
ton, which opens its doors to the pnb (
lie on November 10. There is not a
parish in this State that can afford to
loose this opportunity. Louisiana is
possessed Of vast agricultural and
mineral resources, and she needs i'm
migration and capital to develop them.
TO get this her people must make
these advantages known to the capi-
talists and laborer abroad, and in or
der to do this we must advertise what
we are and what we have the same as
the merchant advertises bis goods and
wares, and in what way can we do
this more effeetually than through This
Exposition? And to further expedite
this let the Police Jury make an ap.
preparation for the purpose Of having
lle,00o or 5000 descriptive psmph-
lets Of Calcasien's resources printed
for distribution atthis Exposition.

ANOTHER good man gone wrong, and
this time it is L. S. District Judge
Alex. Boarman, of Shreveport, who
was arrested in Chicago on the 25th
of August, on charge of adultry,
made by D. P. Negley, who alleges
improper intimacy between Boarman
and Mrs. Negley. The woman form
erIy lived in New Orleans, where she
became acquainted with J. K. Alcee
Gauthreaux, the defaulting Civil
Sheriff of that parish, and on his
fleeing the country she followed and
married him in Canada, but on learn
ing that Gauthreanx was already a
married man, secured a divorce, and
few months afterwards married
Negley, who it appears was an init
mate friend of the defaulting Sheriff.
The Judge denies that his connection
with the woman has been improper,
and says be simply advised her le-
gally, she having appealed tOhim for
counsel as an old friend.

Crops.

Crops, as general thing, still
continue in prosperous condition
throughout the parish, notwitbstand-
ing the rice farmers in many sections
are sadly in need Of rain. A drouth
at this season of the wear would do
great damage and materially injure
the bright prospects of a heavy yield
of this cereal. However, to Judge
from the present indications, We are
encouraged in saying that VIC do not
anticipate anything like u serious
drouth. The corn crop in this parish
is nearly all matured and beyond any
danger. We hear of some cotton
shedding, but not enough to materially
injure the present outlook for good
results. So, III general way, the
prospects for good crops this year still
remain bright and encouraging.
Since the above was put in type q
good rain has fallen, and from present
indications no doubt the farmers will
get all the rain needed.

The Government Not Round 70 Ac-
cept the Dolphin.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND's DECISION.
Attorney General Garland has decided I'm the
Dolphin matter that no contract e xists between
Mr. Roach and the United States, sand that the
large sums OF money which have been paid Mr..
Roach have passed into his hands without au-
thority of law, and are held by him much
money had and received to the use OF the
United States, and may be recovered from him.
And not only so, but the money thus paid him
by officials holding a fiduciary relation TO the
government having gone into the ship Dolphin,
a court of equity will follow IL there. and for
that purpose entertain proceeding against
the ship ITSELF" He holds that the United
States is not bound under the law To accept from
The contractor any other sort OF vessel than the
one ordered by Congress to be built, namely, a
dispatch boat or clipper of a sea speed of fifteen
knots, and the Dolphin having been found not
to be a vessel of that description it would seem
TO follow that nothing short of an act
OF Congress could authorize her accept
ance. The second defect-"wanting In
necessary strength and stiffness the
due to the plans upon which the vessel was
built or not, because 10y the ninth clause OF the
contract the contractor and his sureties stfpu-
late that the vessel constructed under this con-
tract shall be sufficiently strong TO carry the
armament, equipment, coal, stores and ma
chinery prescribed by the naval ad visory board.
The Attorney General adds "that the Dolphin,
In view of the report accompanying your COM
munication, is anything but sufficiently
strong, cannot, for this reason alone, be accept
ed under the contract, the defect mentioned be-
Ing fundamental In character"
He takes the stand that the government has
naval advisory board, as no acceptance of a
vessel not BUILT In 'strict conformity with the
contract" could bind the government. He
argues that the provision binding the govern
ment to accept the vessel on the approval of the
naval advisory board is void, because IL shifts q
responsibility from the Secretary OF the Navy.

THE FIRST AUDITOR EXPLAINS WHY HE DID
NOT WANT TO APPOINT MR.. KELLAR.
First Auditor Chenoweth has published Q
statement explaining the case of Owen Kellar,
the clerk who was designated for appointment
under the civil service rules, but claimed that
Mr.. Chenoweth subsequently, declined TO ap-
point him on political grounds. Mr.. Cheno.
weth says "the morning of the day kellar
rived a letter Of Gen. Warner was sent To me
from the Secretary's Office, accompanied by let
tiers and protests from responsible citizens liv-
ing at the home of Mr.. Kellar, in Ohio seri-
ously objecting to his appointment These
objections were 10 his moral character" He
told Mr.. kellar he says, that If these charges
were true he was not a suitable person to hold
place i'm the office, and at the same time
sured him that his politics had nothing TO do
with the case. At kellar's request, Mr.. Cheno-
wetb says, he returned his papers 10 the civil
service commission, that he would not
lose his standing on the Inst of eigibles. Mr..
Chenoweth says his whole action in the matter
was in the direction OF civil service reform. Mr..
Chenoweth's statement is accompanied by cor
roborative statements from Col. Warner and
Mr.. Rynder, who were In the auditors Office
