BmsermaR Revenue Officers i'm Ct
:.. Landry.

In Dur issue of the 14th inst, in an article
under the above caption, We took occasion
to notice the manner in which j. B. Du,
rousseau, +. m. c. of this parish, had been
treated by John @. Tucker, late Assistant
Assessor Int. Rev. at Opelousas. Our arti-
Gle vas commented upon, and reproduced
in the NJ o. Republican Of the Goth inst.
The following day, Mr.. Tucker published a
card in the Republican which concludes
thus: "the statement that the son of Mr.
Duroasseau was arrested, and the money
ordered to be paid to me is false. The
assessments were made by me, with orders
for the payment Of the money, to the Dep
uty Collector, which was done" Since the
publication Of Mr.. fuckers card, We have
made diligent inquiry into the facts of the
case, and find they sustain Us in every par
tieular.5 They even 60 farther. Durous-
seau was assessed, and made TO take out o
licences us a broker, q business in which he
never had engaged, nor never expected to
engage" The Deputy Collector to whom
Tucker says he ordered the money to be
paid to, was l1net in. the parish at the time
Durousseau was arrested and the money
extorted, nor for several days afterwards ;
and. il, was not until after bis return that
500 of the money was returned to Durous.
sseau. Tucker may try to shield himself
behind the Collector, and doubtless will do
'soi,, many Instances, but III this, he cannot.
: Next week we hope to be able t. recur to
this subject again. and as We are prepared
to Youch' fforF the truth Of every assertion We
have. made, viii take occasion. to verify all
we have said, or intend to say, 10y atidavits
of as responsible men Us can be found in the
State. Our intention : is to publish the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. In the outset we did not take a
partisan, view of the subject, nor do We dose
now. We trust that the Republican, hay-
ing published the card Of Mr.. Tucker, will
find it convenient TO reproduce our article.
We desire to add further, that We did
not intend, in NJ manner, to reflect upon
Messrs. Allison and Rice, the present Col
lector and Assessor Of Int, Revenue at this
place. They had just arrived here and
were comparative strangers to US. We be-.
lieve they are following, and have followed
instructions from those 10 whom they are
responsible. Our motto is justice to all,
and while we shall never hesitate, as indie
pendent Journalists. to expose rascslity and
corruption, we would be the last to do an
injustice Intentionally to any one. sao.r=@.2 h.
