On motion, the resolutions and re-
port of the committee were unani-
mously adopted.
Morris Marks offered the following
resolution:
Resolred, That we, the Parish Executive
Committee, recognize the fact that whereas
the National Executive have recognized the
legality of the Executive Committee presided
over by S. B. Packard, and therefore we can
but recognize the Convention called Tor the
30th inst, and that the delegates elected to
the Parish Convention shall select said dele
gates to the Convention to be held on the
30th of April, 1872, in New Orleans.
Milton Morris offered the following
amendment to the above resolution,
viz: That the End day of May be in
serted instead of the Both instant.
After prolonged and exciting de-
bate upon the subject, on motion of
Randall Cole, the whole matter was
tabled by an almost unanimous vote.
The Committee then adjourned
subject to the call of the president.

FOUND DRoWNED.--0n "Wednesday
of last week the body of q white
man was found floating in the river in
front of the Lapice plantation and was
secured to the bank until the Coroner
could be notified and hold an in
quest, but neither that officer or his
deputy responded to the notification,
if they received one. The body be-
came loosed from its fastening and
fioated down as far as the Acadia
store, where it was discovered on Fri
day, the 18th inst, and taken from the
river. By ring upon the finger of
the deceased it was apparent that he
had be en- member of the l. O. 0. F.,
and Messrs. ". E. M. Anderson and
Joseph Meyers, both belonging to that
order, after searching the body, en-
cased it in a coffin and inferred it in
the garden attached to the residence
of the first named gentleman. The
following effects were taken from the
body of the unfortunate drowned
man: So in money, one silver watch
with gold seal attached, one gold ring,
one pair of spectacles, couple of re-
CENTS, and letter from his daughter
which revealed the fact that his name
was j. jefferson. Messrs. Anderson
and Meyers Immediately notified the
Odd Fellows Lodge to which deceased
had belonged of all the facts of the
case

The proceedings of the Parish EX-
egutive Committee last Saturday were
Interesting ard spirited. Some irreg
uhrities were practiced in effecting
an organikatibn-such as waving the
e.ection of d temporary president, and
IT. placing of a contestant upon the
Committee. on Credentials but as the
desire of al but perhaps the few who
we're responsible for these irregular
lies seemeI to be to harmonic dis
cbrdant and. fractions elements, no
objections were raised. The only
ward frem which two delegations
Dame claiming seats was the fourth,
a{ld the matter in that case was ar
ranged hy5admitting some members
f:om each body of the contestants.
Everything went on smoothly and
dhuietly until after the report from the
Committee on Resolutions had been
received and adopted, when a resolu-
ION was offered by Mr.. Morris Marks

Committee, This was the signal for
lengthy and exciting. debate, partic-
hated iii .bg Messrs. Morris Marks,
&. II. HILL Chas. n. Lewis, Milton
Norris, W. +. Hebert and others, the
two first named supporting the reso-
zion, the. rsst opposing it. Mr.. Lewis
delivered I'm eloquent and effective
Ittle speech which was warmly APP
blauded throughout and which prob
lbly did more to turn the tide against
The supporters of the resolution than
ANYTHING else. The argument of Mr..
Marks that the Packard Committee
had been recognized by the National
Executive Committee, was very clev-
erly answered by both Messrs. Hebert
and Morris, the former declining to
accept a personal letter from the sec
1,etary of the National Committee as
evidence 1fsuch recognition and the
latter vex sensibly saying that said
1secretary might not be member OF

would hehce probably have no voice

The result of all this was that the res
olution of Mr.. Marks was laid upon

which will receive the delegation from

Beard for remaining away longer
than the time for which leave was
granted him, stating that important
private business had prevented him
froin returning sooner than he did.

Printed handbills are being eircula-

persons styling themselves the tax

the people not to pay the parish taxes

take no notice of the advice given in
this circular, according to our notion
of the matter. This game of resisting
the payment of taxes generally fails.
