Fire Marshal Sheldon sent to the Fire

The Colfax chronicle. (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1876-1877, 1877-02-10
Parish Taxes.

The decision of our Supreme
Court on the power of Police in.
rles to assess and levy taxes will
certainly be welcomed by the peo-
pie of our different parishes.
Chief Justice Manning has de-
cided that the act of 1871, declar.
ing that the parish taxes shall not
exceed the State tax, means the
general fund tax raised by the
State and not the sum total of
State taxes raised for levee, inter-
est etc, purposes that is, that
the Police Juries cannot levy q
parish tax greater than four mills
on the dollar, the present tax lev
led by the State. Ifa greater one
is needed, it can only be levied
after it has been submitted to the
people. and sanctioned by q major
'ty of the voters of the parish.

!. Madison Wells Good for the
Penitentiary,

Aspecial dispatch to the N. O. Demo-
crat, dated Jan. 20, says that Littlefield,
one of the clerks of the Returning
Board, has "given away" the whole case
of frauds. He testities that he altered
the returns from Vernon and other par
ishes himself, by order of Madison
Wells, and not as StOughton observ-
ed, by clerical error.
Owing to the developments recorded
above, the habeas corpus to save tho
members Of the Returning Board, has
been postponed. The most distinguish
ed lawyer in the House told me to-day,
when 1 asked him about the habeas
corpus, that when j. Madison Wells left
the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms he
would leave it to enter the custody of
the Warden of Penitentiary.
