Under the new Sunday law, all busi
ness houses must be closed ut O'Clock
Sunday morning, and kept closed until
Monday. 1t has been said that this
regulation is made to apply to all
houses, drug stores and restaurants ex-
copied, whose occupants have to take
out 81 license; SO that oven lawyers,
dentists, &C., will not DC permitted to
keep their doors open on Sunday after
the hour specified. The colorcd coun-
cilmcn, VIC are told, were most Jealous
in the Sunday movement. They said
that the troubles of their race were such
as came mainly from drinking, and
that if there was no Sunday business,
the blacks would not be SO often called
into court. We arc anxious to see the
condition of tho blacks, especially in
morals, improved as much and rs
speedily as possible. But we undertake
to say that the groundwork must be of
different character than that of cn-
forced observance of tho Sabbath. We
have been looking to the numerous
schools and churches of the colorctl
people in this parish for Il salutary re-
formation in the department of the
blacks. Probably, these restraints arc
insufficicnt-it is not for us to say sc
positively, but appearances strongly
point that way.

DclinUucnt Taxes.

Tho official journal publishes over
Auditor Clinton's name, a list of the
resident and nonresident Taxpayers Of
this parish-for tho year 1871 we pre-
sumo, tho year not being named. The
list of names is very large, embracing
over 500, and tho amounts range from
10 cents to s9s3.73. The list includes,
doubtless, moro than onc-third of the
Taxpayers of tho parish. Whether it
includes those who owe simply the
poll tax of one dollar, or not, we are
unable to say; but, very few names ap-
pear delinquent for one dollar only.
According to the terms of the adver-
tiscmcnt, those who do. not settle up
before thirty days expire, will be de-
privcd of the right to bring suit, or be
witness for themselves, and of the right
to have any civil process issued in their
behalf, until they have obtained the
Collectors receipt i'll full-such being
| the provisions of Act II of the Kellogg
Legislature. We suspect that there will
be heavy embargo laid upon the pro-
ccsses of the courts, and that the juris-
prudence of the entire State will be
brought to a stand-still in order to
] maintain the validity of Act AZ. How
a suit can be tried when only one party
| is to bc heard will puzzle tho ingenuity
of both lawyers and courts.

A match game of base ball came off
Thursday, in FiIhiol's Addition, be-
tween the Ouachita Club, and the Mad
ison Nine, who, with their friends, came
over that morning, by special train, to
encounter the Ouachitas. Tho grounds
had bcen carefully arranged, and largo
number of spectators attended the joust.
At the conclusion of tho ssinnings," of
which there We're nine, the score stood
for the Ouachitas 80, for tho Madisoni-
ans.2l-This reversed the result of the
f5:5Sa match, which came Off in Delta
some days ago. Another match has
len agreed upon, to settle the cham
Ionship. 1t is but fair to our visitors
to say that they claimed that some of
their best players were unable to como
over.
The Police Jury was in session Mon
day and Tuesday. Quite lengthy
dispute arose upon the petition of the
Recorder to have the partition in his
office removed. 1t was proposed by
one of tho members to sec how much
the city would contribute to the desired
change and it was argued that such
Improvement might in part be borne
by the city, since it had been relieved
of parish tax. 1t seems that tho OK
cmption of city property from parish
taxes is likely to work confusion in the
Police Jury.
We arc not posted in all the relations
of the leading Republicans in the par
ish, but it appeared to us that Recorder
Grady was very vigorously opposed by
some leading members of his party.

for the sake OF greater convenience in care and treat
ment, and continued to use the water from the we'll
on the premises for at least ten days from the first
visit.
This patient was under treatment for about six
weeks and though having, at times, untavOratIe
symptoms, he at length recovered. About the last Of
June the cases began to multiply rapidly among the
boarders and, as the disease had not made its appear
ance in the town, the conviction was forced upon my
own mind that its origin was local and that a solution
ofthe problem might be found by an examination Of
the premises. The building, cooking apparatus, and,
in fact, the whole house, was minuteIy inspected, with
out dis covering any cause for the sudden Development
ofthe disease; but out of doors was found what was
thought at the time TO be a satisfactory explanation of
the phenomena.
A drain, which received all the refuse Of the house.
was found to be choked near its exit into another
drain, which conveyed surface-water from a highly
cultivated field, and which also ran near the we'll.
The season was uncommOnly wet, and the earth in
the immediate neighbOrhOOd OF the well was so com
Dletely saturated with organic matter that 1t oOZed
through the ground and stood in pools Of putresCence
on the surface. Nearly %two-thirds of The inmates sick
ened and, though the cases differed IN severity and
duration, yet all presented the nnmistakable phenome-
ma of typhoid fever. There were no deaths. Among
the boarders were a number who did not drink the
water at Gfnner, and of these it was remarked that
mot one sickened! The family Of one of the profess
sors of the college, living In an adjoining house and
rs;ng water from this we'll, sickened like the others :;
the professor, who drank no water at dinner alone es-
caped. | am tolerably familiar with typhoid fever.
and have never had a doubt that the disease appearing
at that house, and which was associated. with drink
ING that water, was typhoid fever. All that drank
the water, unboiled, had the disease all who avoided
iEin this state escaped. 1t appeared that the action

Of heat rendered The water inuocuoue, either b,vola-.
tili2jng, coagulatirg, or otherwise changing the orga-
mic matter.
Though several of the students, after becoming III,
went TO their homes and suffered there sickness, no
case is mentioned Of the disease having spread from
them TO others. One OF the other gentlemen, in his
communication, says awe thought the illness was
from the water: Ist. Because of the drain SO emptving
that the foul water ran directly into the well from
which we drank. 81, Because, Of some thirty or
t~hirty.fve boarders, all at the same table, those who
(and there were several such) escaped all symptoms.
as well as those who took ale for dinner, and tea and
coffee at the morning and evening meals. Sd. It could
NOT have arisen from impure air. study, or epidemic
Influence, as none in the town were affected, save
parties who used the water and many who were
sick were among the LATEST students. An. Those
were the subjects of the severest sickness who were.
exclusively, drinkers of water. One of the sick, who
never used any other drink, was confined eight weeks,
and was unable to fill his appointment on commence
ment.day.
Another, who drank water moderately, and only
at dinner, had the disease in a much milder formc and
was confined a very much shorter time"
This gentleman, the writer of the account, was seiz-
ed on the 25th of June, and he says: &" A or within
q day or two previous to and after my illness, several
Ofthe boarderssWere seized with similar symptoms and
sent home"
From these data il appears that the cases continE-
ed to occur from near the time Of the attack of the first.
until all were affected, Some resisted the influence of
the water longer than others, but all were taken
within a period of ten days. The water. when care
fully noticed, was found to taste and smell of the sewer
age, though. when served upon the table with ice
these qualities were not perceived.

TEXAS AND PACIFIC RAILROAD

While not sufficiently advised, we
fear there is too much reason to be-
lieve that work will be suspended on
the Texas and Pacific railway, and de-
lay its extention West to Fort Worth
and El Paso.
We may differ with some of our
neighbors on this subject, but our
opinion has been and still is, tn at the
welfare of Dallas would be promoted
by the rapid extension of this road
West. AT no time have we had the
slightest dread or jealousy of any
town West of this. We have been
honest in the belief that no very con-
siderable town would grow up between
Dallas and FL Paso. The position OF
Dallas, by natural laws and legiti-
mate development, insures her per-
manent growth and controlling COM
mercial in tluence in North Texas. 1t
Is idle to think any town near by can
rival her already assured position.
Thus thinking, aside from general
principles which always control us,
we have been and still are anxious for
the rapid extension of the road West.
We regret that the signs Of the
times are against the early realization
of this hope.

WE published yesterday morning,
the City Secretary's Report, showing
the financial condition of the city Of
Dallas upto. the LIST of October, 1873,
The report embraces the period of time
commencing February 20, 1872, to
November o, 1872, the expiration ofex-
Mayor Ervay's term of office, and from
the latter date to the LIST of October,
1878, covering the whole term Of
Mayor Long.
An examination of the figures and
footings will be found very satisfactory
to our citizens and the public generally
showing an excess of present liabili-
ties over and above available assets Of
only some fourteen hundred dollars.
When 1t isremembered that there Is
only one per cent ad patorem tax
assessed, 1t can but encourage to come
amongst US, the tax-ridden and debt
ridden people of other cities.

THE SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

a week since, after hasty consultation
with citizens from different precincts
of the county, we suggested the names
of five gentlemen, one from each pre-
cinct, for school directors. 1t was
merely suggestion and nota dictation,
and we expressed at the time n perfect
Willingness to change the list or sub
stitute new one,
Since then we have received decided
expressions Of satisfaction from all
parts of the county. We therefore, rs
time is precious, now repeat the list
and shall print their names on all Tick
cts ordered from this office, unless
otherwise requested by those ordering
the tickets. The names are as follows
First Precinct-General William L.
Cabell, of Dallas.
Second Precinct James III. Swim
dells, Of Lancaster.
Third Precinct-Colonel ELAN Sharp
of Reunion.
Fourth Precinct-Thomas Il. Nash
of Duck Creek.
Fifth Precinct-Henry c. Sweet, o
Scyene.
The whole county votes for the fiv,
directors, though each precinct is
bound to have one of the number, the
same rs in the election of Justices o
the Peace.
The duties of these officers, rs n boart
of county school directors, are impor
tant. They, among other things, Sc
lect the school books for the county
schools. They are good and true men
and all who desire a genuine system o
free schools should vote for them.

BY referring to the proclamation OF
the Mayorin this days paper, it will
be seen that an election will be
held at the several voting places in the
city on Tuesday, the I'd day of Deem
Der, FOR The purpose OF taking opinion
of the qualified voters of the city on
the following proposition, towit
"Shall the city Of Dallas issue fifteen
thousand dollars of city bonds, upon
the completion of each five miles OF
road-bed and bridges Of the Dallas &
Wichita railroad, fifty per cent? Of the
amount already pledged; the remain
der of the one hundred thousand
dollars heretofore voted, to be paid OH
the laying OF the iron. and the compile
ton Of the said road to the county
line" sANA = st''ta asa
Our people have already voted affirm
atively on this proposition, but owing
to some informality the election was
thought to be void. ag .
