cs collected in any one given
year, should be used exclusively
TO liguidate debts created in that
year, and the law Of the Police
Jury was explicit, that every dol
lar OF Licenses Or taxes or other
revenue collected in 1876, should
DE set apart expressly to pay all
debts contracted in said year of
1876. Consequently when wars
rants were issued to parties du-
ring that year, payable in rota
tom a~ccoH!:ng to number ar;t
date, the taxes and revenues col
lected in 1876 could not be used
for any purpose than to pay
those warrants, without a viola
ton OF a solemn compact, and of
the laws both State and paro,
clIial.
This was a solemn agreement
between the pirochial authori-
ties, and the creditors to whom
the warrants were given, and any
alteration o. that law was ca pest
facto, clearly illegal and manifest
ly unjust.
But at one full swoop, under
the terrific mutterings Of this
Boanerges, the Jury passed an
ordinance allowing the Tax Col
lector to assume the prerogatives
belonging to the Parish Treasu-
rer, and gather up old warrants
for which he had paid,r-2O to 80
per cent and turn them into the
Treasury as cash, and at the same
time received his illegal and I'M
just claim, for work for which he
had been paid by the State al>
ready us SO much cash. Now this
claim of $732.S5 even il correct,
had two items connected with it
that may be interesting to under
stand. Crosler assessed one Eos

Was perambulating lower LatOur-
che, and giving out that he own
ed d fabulous amount OF land
while the poor devil had no more
ownership over those lands, than
he had over tiluSe OF the Emperor
OF MoEocco, tor ii sum Of two
hundred thousand dollars. Three
per cent on this amount made
sixty dollars. He also assessed
Morgan's Railroad, after his rolls
had been revised by the assess
ment committee, in IL sum of one
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, making another forty>tive
dollars, total 5i05.0O.
But he had no right to q sin
gle cent oil this amount other
wise he would have lett it to Che
decision Of Judge Btattic ais the
Police Jury OF 1876 offered to do.

tornry, the District attorney and
the members Of the next Grand
Jury, ls respectfully directed to
these illegal transactions.
But, the Police jury could not
stop here under the lash of the
Great Duil,lozer. There was still
money III AatCurcho to be gained
OF the taxpayers and the Jury
were notified that they had to
make things lively. SO the five
members pat. their heads together
and determined that the box
containing the Parish Treasury
should roll.
There was money in it and mo-
ney must come out. They had
pledged themselves to improve
the Parish Finances and they
would improre them, so after
having put their heads together
they pat their feet underneath,
and tits is how they made things
roll.
