OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL,
New Orleans, June 10, lst7.


Hon. II, Peralta, State Auditor:
SIR have to acknowledge the receipt
of your esteemed favor of the l4th inst, IN
which You express a desire TO be informed
whether it, under the decision of the SUI
preme court of this State, in the case of the
State of Louisiana VS.. 5. H. Kennedy 4 Co.,
the law of April 4th 1865, remains absolute
ly imperative or il its provisions are still
susceptible of being enforced in cases in
which a change in the ownership or in the
condition of the merchandise has taken
place in the State.
Section three of the act of the legislature
to which you have referred, reads as fol-
lows:
BE it further enacted, etc, that there shall
be assessed and collected the sum of one
quarter of one per cent on the annual gross
sales or receipts of each and every person
pursuing any trade profession, or occupa-
ton whose annual receipts exceed the sum
of $1,000"
This section literally and rigidly con-
strued is universal in its application and
extends to all annual gross sales without
distinction. Since, however, the supreme
court of this State has declared that section
unconstitutional so far as it applies to the
cases referred to in the opinion Of the court
| a proper Interpretation of the statute will
| Justify YOU in regarding section three as
embracing the two following classes for
assessment, viz: First-An assessment on
| the annual gross sales oil property DelOng-
| ing to non-residents of Louisiana, brought
| into the State for sale: and second, an as.
sessment on the annual gross sales OF
property belonging to residents of LOuisi'
ana and there sold,
An assessment against the first mentioned
class has been held by the supreme court OF
this State to be in violation of the constitu-
ton of the United States, but this declared
unconstitutlonality cannot have the effect
of rendering the law unconstitutional in its
application to the second class.
| \ statute unconstitutional in one of its
| provisions is not necessarily so in its entire
ty, That portion Of the statute which is in
opposition to the organic law must be held
TO be void, and that part of it in harmony
with the constitution must have effect, This
is the rule of Interpretation as applied by
the courts-a rule which should more rig
idly obtain in the Interpretation Of revenue
statutes having for their object the provid
ing OF means for the support ofthe State.
1t is therefore my opinion that the law o.
April 4, 1865, is not absolutely imperative
| but that in relation to assessments on the
annual gross sales of property belonging tC
| residents of Louisiana, and there sold, ii has
full force and effect, not being in antagon
| ism to the decision of the supreme court in
the case of the State of Louisiana VS.. S. H.
Kennedy a Co.
Very respectfully, etc.,
B. l.. LYNCH. Attorney General.

suggestive Contrast.

The New York Ledger contains the fol-
lowing remarks, from the pen of Fanny
Fern: "How often have l seen a face loi-
tering at q church threshold, listening to
the swelling notes of the organ and long
ing to 90 in, were it not for the wide So
cial gulf between itself and those assem-
bled-I will not say worshipping-there.
And 1 know if the clergyman inside that
church spoke as his Master spoke when
on earth. he would soon preach to empty
walls. They want husks and they get
them, 1 say in my vexation, as the door
swings on its hinges in some poor crea-
lures face, and he wanders forth to strug-
gle, unaided, as best he may, with a poor
mans temptations. Our Roman Catholic
brethren are wiser. Their creed Is not
nv creed, save this part of it: That the
rich and poor meet together, and the
Lord is the Maker of them all. l often
go there to see it. 1 am glad when a ser
want drops on her knees in the aisle, and
make the signs of the cross, that nobody
bids her to rise, to make way for q silken
robe that may be waiting behind. L am
glad the mother of many little children
NAV drop in for a brief moment before
the altar, to recognize her spiritual wants,
and then pass out to the cares she may nc
longer lose sight of. 1 do not believe as
they do, bpt it gladdens my heart all the
same that one man is as good as his neigh.
Dor. at least there-before God. ]
breathe freer at the thought 1 can sit in
the corner, and watch them pass in and
out, and rejoice that every one, however
humble soever, feels that he or she is tC
that church, Just as much as the richest
foreigner, from the cathedrals of the Ole
world, whom they may jostle in going
out"

q privileged class, and cannot very well
be whipped or imprisoned. Like most
of the descendants of Eve, they will
talk, and are eve ready to eIope with

get away with them. They cannot
marry a Gentle and remain peacefully
at home. Very naturally they prefer
a Whole Gentle to one-tenth of a Nor

send an army of 10000 unmarried men

WH2T TEE LECTURER SAID To THE LOCAL.
DEAR SIR: In a report of my lecture
inyour beautiful city, you have made some
few mistakes, which 1 wish to correct
You have made me speak of myself as by
birth an ecclesiastical deduction" But
what I said, was, that 1 was not by birth,
but only enthusiastically, a Dutchman. In
stead of speaking of the devil Saving
trees" I spoke of him as sowing tares. /
have said nothing of Abraham, but spoke
of the Arabians as nomsdes of patriarchal
simplicity. 1 said that Cecrops was the
founder of Athens, and instructed the
people in agriculture.
Very truly yours,

Bay and back in tBenty-four hours, on

at Halifax. Well, We got to the creek
and fastened our skates on, and started
off in good style, BID Berry taking the
the lead. There was little air holes in
the ice, and every now and then we
would come near going into them. My
skates got loose, and l stopped to fas-
ten 'em. Just as l had finished buck
ling the strap, I saw something shoot

BillBerry's head. He had been going it
like creased electricity, and before he
knew il, vas in one of them cir holes.

head of against the sharp corner of

there, as l am a sinner, was Billy Berry's
body, which had shooted along under
the ice, and met the head at a hole in
the ice. 1t was so shocking cold, the
head had frozen TO the body, and we
pulled Billy Berry out as good as new.
He felt a little numb at first, but after
skating awhile, he felt as the rest of US
and laughed over the joke. We went
home about dusk, all satisfied with the
days sport. About ten-o'clock in the
evening somebody knockedo OF thedoor,
and said l was wanted to Billy Berry's.
I put On my coat and went over. There
lay BilPs body in one corner and his
head IN another. His wife said that
after he came home from skating, he
sat down by the fire to warm himself,
and while attempting to blow his nose,
