corrSTY ExPESsES.-When the next
LEGISLATURE meets it will do good work,
tnso reyises the revenue laws, that in
M contingency can charge made
ooaiust the county for either the collec-
ton of delinquent property taxes. or the
enforcement of poll taxes. If the taxes
and costs cannot be collected from the
attendants in tax suits, the law should
bs so altered that no charge can be made
AGAINST the county. As matters stand at
npesent, large costs can be accumulated,
which collectively form heavy burden
on the tax payers. In poll tax cases the
same provision should be made. As a
easv in point, we may call attention to
The fact. that eight Cinnamon have been
prosecuted and fined for not giving
their names, etc., and are all now
confined in Jail. The result will
probably be that the county will
lose its share of the tax, the delinquents
should have paid, and also have to pay
several hundred dollars for fees, etc.
This condition of things, in the present
depleted state of the county treasury,
involves hardship to the taxpayers of the
county and also its creditors, and repe-
tition should be prevented by positive
and unmistakable Legislative enactment.

Grand Ball takes place at Delmue's,

HARD is said to be the way of the
transgressor, and SO we think was that
of drunken individual who, while
vending his devious way along Lacour
street last night, managed to fall down
the hillside with no small force We
assisted to pick the poor fellow up,
thinking he must have broken some
bones, but drunken luck prevailed, and
when he was set on his feet, said "he
could get 'long-was all right" And
right he appeared to be, for he went off a
good deal soberer than be was before.
