THE DAY IN BROOKLYN.

"a great day for Ireland truly" was the senti-
ment freely uttered in the City of Churches yester-
day. And so it was in every sense OF the word.
The weather, barring the wind, was little fresh,
was charming. The sun shone brightly down upon
the bright miniature rays OF the sunburst Of the
green Dag OF Erin. The sons and daughters OF the
dear old land whose name shall live in story were
abroad from the rise OF the orb Of day. Then
when the bands began to play, how many hearts
beat faster In response to the thoughts of that
''and OF the west" which were waited through the
realms OF space and indeby imprinted on the
fancy wild to the scenes of chidhoodl "The Wear

THE DAY IN NEW JERSEY.


The procession In Jersey City was the largest
seen IN that city on the festival Of ST. Patrick.
The only feature OF the celebration that called forth
any uniavOrable comment was the absence of the
Board of Aldermen, who were elevated to power
by virtue OF the Bumsted charter and who showed
their fanaticsm by refusing to review the
assemblage. Mayor O'Neill, however, was on hand,
and he smiled complacentiy from his eminence It

PARISH TAX ON Town PROPERTY.
Since the year 1869 no parish tax
has, been paid upon taxable property
situated within the corporate limits
of Donaldsonville. Several of the
large property owners associated to-
gether in the year 1871 and applied
to the Judge of the District Court for
an injunction restraining the Collec-
tor from proceeding with the collec-
ton of this tax, aud the same was
granted. Upon trial of the case in
1872, a decision was rendered adverse
to plaintiffs, who at once appealed to
the; Supreme Court, doubtless hoping
that ere the case came up for final
disposition, the General Assembly of
the State would pass an act relieving
town property from the imposition of
a parish tax. This anticipation, how
ever, was not realized. The matter
went before the Supreme Court upon
its merits, and the decision of the
lower court was affirmed, the opinion
of the Judges of the Supreme Bench
being that the question was not an
open one, and that town property
could only be exempted from taxation
by! the parish authorities by special
act of the Legislature or q provision
OF the town charter, which does not
exist in the case of Donaldsonville.
It now devolves upon the present
Tax Collector to collect the parish
tax levied upon town property for the
years 1870, II and ~, which he is
prepared to do. The total assesses
ment of property situated within the
corporate limits was, in 1871, S197,
5IO; in 1872, S164,54 The rate Of
parish taxation for 1871 was 20 16
mills, and for 1872 2l1 mills, making
the tax to be collected for the former
year, 1898 80, and for the latter.
S3547 ~. The assessment and tax
on town property for 1870 not being
separated from the general assessment
ON the parish roll, we can not give
the exact amount of assessment and
tax for thht year, but presume it viii
be about the same as for 1871. The
total parish tax, then, to be collected
upon town property, is about 81 900

Pursuant to the call of Hon. Pierre
Landry, president Of the Republican
parish executive committee, the del
egates from the various wards met in
convention at the school broom of the
NJ. E. Church, to-day, at o'clock P.
NJ, for the purpose of electing dele
gates to represent the parish in the
State Convention of Co1ored Men to
meet in New Orleans on the l7th iu-
slant. The meeting was called to or
der by Mr.. Landry, who nominated
Rev. G.. G.. Burnet for temporary
chairman, aud P. A. Jones, Esq. tenn
porary secretary.
The roll was called and all wards
excepting the eighth found to be rep
resented, as follows:
First ward-Raphael Anthony, S.

We believe the general disposition
on the part of town property holders
is to pay this tax promptly if the Po-
lice Jury will take such steps as will
secure the raising of the injunction
now prohibiting the receipt of parish
scrip for taxes. Nearly all the delin-
quents are provided with warrants or
other certificates of Indebtedness, and
it will be but justice to them as well
as an advantage to the parish that
these should be made receivable for
tax dues. The eyes of the people are
upon the Jury, and while any improp-
er concessions to the holders of con-
solidated bonds is not asked, but, on
the contrary, will be deprecated, yet
it is demanded that all just endeavor
be used to enable the tax payer to
discharge his debts to the parish with
the certificates of Indebtedness that
he purchased or otherwise acquired
in good faith as legal tender for said
dues. 1t would be great hardship to
the people at this time to be com
PEELED to pay their parish taxes in
currency, and the necessity for such
payment must be avoided if possible.
We have reason to believe that an
amicable arrangement is about being
contaminated between the parish and
the consolidated bondholders, and
that after the next session of the Po-
lice Jury, all properly approved par
ish scrip will be receivable for taxes.

The organization of new classes is thus ne
