Your Commission beg leave to call your at
tention to the following facts
LIST No account is given of the Licences is
sued for the year 1868 it is left in'blank on
the Treasurer's book.
I'd. That by resolution of the Police Jury,
the taxes which Mr.. CAN'T failed to collect,
and for which he is credited, amounting to
$9,412 IS. were placed in the hands of Mr..
J. B. Bihm, and up to this day have never
been accounted for.
3. That by resolution Of the Police Jury,
the taxes Of 1886, amounting to $l6,64O SO,
returned by John C. Barry, Collector, as un.
collectable, were placed in his hands with au-
thorization to continue the collection of such
taxes and Licenses as may still be due, and
to pay the same into the Treasury. Up to
this day, it is not of record that these taxes
and Licences referred to have ever been &C
counted for,
In conclusion, your Commission would
state that In the prosecution OF their WORK. IN
complete as it is. they were beset at every
turn with difficulties without number, grow
ing out of the looscness with which the books
of the Police Jury have been kept. In attest
alton OF which, they would call attention to
the following facts: -.
LIST. No record was ever kept of the warrants
paid BY the Parish and ordered to be destroy
ed, and their aggregate amount is unknown.
I'd There exists no registry of the dates
when these warrants were paid.
Sd, No statement is to be found OF the
amount of blank Licences placed in the hands
of the Collectors as a check against fraud and
errors, nor of the amount of blank LICENCES
returned by the Collector, when making set
Elements with the Parish.
4th There exists no record Of uncolleetable
taxes.
They would further call your attention to
an extract from the proceedings Of the Police
Jury hereunto appended.
Respectfully, your ob't servants,

The Mails.

There is q screw loose somewhere in the
mails. It has happened for five or six con-
secutive Tuesdays, that the mail of that
day brought US only a portion of our New
Orleans exchanges. On last Tuesday Meth
er the Times, Picayune, or Bulletin, reacha
ed US, while the other papers arrived. Will
the Postmaster at New Orleans and those
along the route, look into this matter ?
VIII the Attakapas papers please notice
this subject? We have passed the matter
by in silence, for more than a month,
thinking the evil would remedy itself; but
seeing no improvement, we will keep the
matter before the public, until the irregu-
larity is corrected. While on this subject,
we appeal to the Postmaster in New Orleans,
and those having control of the matter, to
give more expedition to u mails. The
mail, for instance, from New Orleans, which
reaches New Iberia at midnight. is not re-
ceived at Opelousas until the next evening
about six o'clock, eighteen hours after
wards. 1t would greatly assist business
men, if it could be so regulated as to reach
this point six hours earlier.
