THANKSGIVING.

In another column will be found the
proclamation of Gov. Nichols appointing
the 10th day of May as day Of prayer
and thanksgiving throughout our State.
No people on the face of the earth have
greater cause for thanksgiving than have
those of Louisiana, nor have any, greater
need of the powers of suplicatory pra Yer,
in view of the tremendous responsibilities
they have assumed in undertaking to eX-
tricate the Commonwealth from the per-
lis with which she has been surrounded
through the ubiquitous acts ofcorrupt and
venal partisans.
We have no doubt that the pastors of
the several denominations in our midst
win call their respective flocks together
upon that day, in accordance with the
Governors request, to render acknowl-
Judgements to, the source of all blessings
and to call down, upon those in power,
light to guide thcm in the exercise of
their official functions. Such SHOULD be
the case, and we trust that all will unite
to make the exercises and ceremonies of
the day worthy of the occasion.

LIMITATION or PAROCHIAL TAXEs.

The following from the new revenue
bill recently enacted by the Legislature
will prove of in terest to the tax payers of
our Parish:
Sec. 1O3. BE 1t further enacted, ETC., That
no Parish tax, except as hereinafter pro-
vlded, shall, for any one year, for all pur-
poses, exceed the rate OF one per cent on
the assessed value and no Judgment tax,
OF any kind, shall be levied beyond the
above limit, the intent thereof being to
limit parochial taxation throughout the
state To a marimum of one per cent, and
to repeal all general laws anthoriz ny the
levy ct special and Judgment taxes; pro
rided, that on the written application of
majority, in value, of the tax payers of
Parish, the Police Jury shall be auth
orized to levy additional taxes not in eX-
cess of five mills; and, prOrided FURTHER,
that this section shall not be construed
to repeal the special laws now in force,
authorizing certain Parishes to levy an
increased rate of taxation for special prr-
poses.
From the above it will he seen that no
greater Parish tax than ten mills on the
dollar can be levied for any purpose. The
law, while affecting, not the ralidity of
the special Judgment taxes growing ont
of the decision of the Supreme Court, in
the special tax suit of John A. Stevenson,
ct al, VS.. ID. A. Weber, Collector, affects
the remedy or mode of the collection of
the said special Judgment taxes. These
taxes amount to something over fifteen
thousand dollars, and to carry out to a
letter the Supreme Court decision, the
creditors could, if so disposed, proceed at
once to collect the whole amount, which
would be a great hardship on the proper
ty holders.
The section above cited was enacted
very OPPORTUNITY for our people and will
afford them great relief.
With the exception of these special
taxes, we do not believe the debt of the
Parish will exceed eight thousand dol
lars, this including Parish scrip uutstand-
ing for the years 1873, 1874, 1876, 1876
and 1877. and there is for each of these
years a considerable delinquent list. 1t
appears to us that by salarying the Par
i Sh otticerS-as is done in other Parishes,
as, for instance, in Pointe Coupe, where
the efficient Clerk gets four hundred dol
lars per annum for his services ard fees
in all criminal matters. and for acting as
Clerk of the Police Jury; and the Sheriff
gets eight hundred for all services in
criminal matters, including feeding of
prisoners, the Police Jury could very
reduce the expenses of the
Parish, and leave a margin of three or
four mills on the dollar each year to pay
these Judgment taxes.
VIII our Police jury take this matter
into consideration, as hejudgmeut of the
Supreme Court is tinality and sooner or
later the taxes will have to be paid.
