GRAND DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT
our readers are aware, the Western Dra-
matte Troupe will give grand entertain
ment on Saturday night at the Opera
House, for the benefit of the Southern Re-
lief fund. The Association, in thus doing
what they can to relieve the distress of the
people of the South, should, and doubtless
will, receive the patronage and support of
all our citizens. It embraces considerable
amateur talent, and the plays announced
are calculated to draw it out. We expect
to see the Opera House filled on Saturday
night. ''

SIR have the honor to submit to your
consideration the inclosed published de-
cisions rendered by both the sixth district
court of this city aud the supreme court, in
| the case of the State of Louisiana VS.. S. H.
Kennedy Il Co., and to beg being informed
| whether under these rulings the law of

tive, or whether its provisions are still sus-
| Ceptible of being enforced in cases in which
change in the ownership or in the con-
dition of the merchandise has taken place
| in the State.
There exist in Louisiana large mercantile
| houses that purchase for their own account,
within and without the State, imported
| goods, which they keep more or less in the
| same form until an opportunity offers itself
| for selling the same in the original or in a
| different condition.
