Thibodaux, La, October 81, 1865.

up to the rear 1856, are still in existence,
but most Of those ordinances have been
modified and repealed. I therefore recon-
mend that an entire new seto t ordinances
be enacted, suitable to the present condi-
ton of affairs. New books will be required
for recording the proceedings of the coun-
Gil and the ordinances enacted hereafter.

the Guion Academy has been returned to

bodaux, as will be seen by the following
