and was caused by an attack Of
pleurisy. Col. Mouton was a ma.
tive of Lafayette parish aud a gradu.
ate Of Georgetown College, D. c.
After graduating he studied law and
[practiced this profession for many
years in his native parish and the

About 1872 he removed to Abbeville
where he resided until tie time of
his death.
BE leaves a widow surviving but
no small children though several
married ones. The sun rose bright
II on the morning of his life. His
family were wealthy and his educa-
ton was Of the best. He loved the
old classic authors and studied them
faithfully in his youth and in after
years the lines of Horace, Ovid and
Virgil were often repeated, in some
apt application of the wit or wisdom
Of those ancient sayes. As an Ora
tor he had few equals and no super.
iors in the Attakapas. In the mcri-
dian of his fame, he was one of the
leaders of society and politics in the
Attakapas country, and was a nca,.
relative Of Gov. Alex. Mouton He
possessed wealth, education, talent
and distinction, but alas! for the
vicissitudes OF fortune the snu.set Of
his life was gloomy and unpIol'i,ious.
The war stripped him of his wealth
and professional business. The re.
verses Of fortune were too heavy for
him to bear and he was never him.
self again.
Time robbed him Of his energy
and left him in the decline Of his
life to bufit with the world without
wealth, strength or any Of the bright
surroundings of his youth. In fact
the age and generation for which he
was so highly qualified had passed
away and a new and difficult order
had come for which he had no de-
light.
Thus he died in the 54th year Of
his age. Be was connected with the

WICKED ASSAULT ON WHITNEY
A Newly Pledged Cabinet Minister
Reyeiing in Misused Power

That dolphin"

Boston, July 14.-W. E. Chandler
Ex-Secretaty of the Navy, has written a
letter to the Journal in reference to the
recent opinion of Attorney General
Garland that Roach's contract for
building the Dolphin is void; that the
payments to him are illegal and may be
recovered, and that the Dolphin may
be seized as security for repayment.
The Ex-Secretary says: "This may
seem 70 be an extraordinary decision,
but it was not difficult to an Attorney
General, who, when so requested, wiped
out an amendment of the United States
Constitution with the utmost prompt
ness. Lawyers, business men and fair
minded citizens must judge of the
soundness of his principles. .,-,ss..s. 3
Chandler asserts that the plans for the
D0lphin'S engines were desig1ied and
adopted by the Navy Department and
advisory board, and the bidders had
nothing to say about them, or to do
with them. He contends it is pro-
posterous to suppose the department
had no right to say to bidders: "You
shall guarantee that these engines. which
we have designed, shall produce 1890
horse power, and shall move ship
fifteen knots in gale of wind at sea. !"
Every competent and responsible ship
builder, Chandler says. would reply,
'.If you wish to guarantee results, l
must design the ship" The letter con-
tinued: LET it be noted that this
wicked assault upon Mr.. Roach by
two newly laedged cabinet ministers,
reveling in misused power, is perpe-
trated solely for the assumed reason
that the Dolphin has not fifteen knots
sea-speed, when, in fact, on every one
of her several trial trips, she has
reached fifteen knots, and the last
trip was made at sea in pursu-
ance to the orders of Whitney.
but Whitney, .enraged at the result.
says the sea was not high enough and
fifteen knots sea-speed means seventeen
and half knots when there is not a
high sea. and upon this arbitrary as
sumption the whole fabric of the
outrage committed by him is built. The
communicationc concludes by saying that
"even the packed board organized
by him (Whitney) to condemn the Dol
phin, reported that the engines, boilers,
and main machinery appeared to be in
accordance with the contract and the
changes made by the advisory board. !"
