Regular. Secretion Essential
TO Health.

The regular secretion and flow of the gas
tric juices. and of the bile which the use of
Hestetter's Stomach Bittcrs promotes, are
effects which conduce materially to the
restoration of hea It'll, when the system is
disordered. Food is not digested in the dvs-
peptic stomach because the gastric fluid is
deficient, superabundant or vitiated the
liver becomes congested and the bowels
constipated because the supply of bile is
snadeqnate or misdirected. The Bitters rec
titles all this, and removes every i'll conse-
qlence of non assimilation and bilious ire
gu'arity. Furthermore, it stimulates the ac
ton of the kidneys by which impurities
are, so to speak, strained from the bl God,
and any tendency in the urinary organs to
grow sluggish and disordered counteract-
ed. Whether it be used as a means of regu-
lating gastric or bilious secretion. and re-

This action of the Governor

Debts

$, sSion. 1t prohibits amy munich
pal or Parochial Body from crea-
ting any debts, without first Oh
tanning the sanction of the voters
interested and forbids the taxes
coIlectabie in any one year to be
used for any other purposes than
the payment of expenses during
said year, and surplus being how
ever permitted to go to the call
collation. of any previous debts.
II also prohibits any President
of Il Police Jury, mayor or Exc
cutive officer of any town from
drawing warrant on the Trea-
surer of the Parish or town as the
case may be unless there be funds
in the Treasury to pay the same.
Had such laws been in eyiSten
ce heretofore the debts of the pa
rishes and towns in Louisiana
would not be hundreds where
now they are thousands. The
town of Thibodaux is IA fair sam.
pie of IA Corporation conducted
practically on the principle of the
above law.
AT the close of the wal there
was an outstanding debt of some
three or four thousand dollars.
The Mayor and Trustees have
ever opposed the accumulation of
debt and have l;:bored always
with an eye to the eradication of
all claims, and to conduct the mu
nicipal affairs on a cash basis.
Since 1865 the Town has paid
the old debt, invested aboutseven
thousand dollars in the recons>
truction ofthe Thibodaux Bridge,
purchased the square in front OF
the Conrt House for some six
thousand dollars. all Of which is
paid except some six hundred
dollars, falling due in August 1878.
has given abont three thousand
dollars to purchase Il fire Engine
and Il Hook and Ladder Truck.
and In other assistance to the fire
Department, and now has funds
and material on hand and collec-
tlb,e to build il fine market House
and conduct the financial Depart
ment of the Corporation through
the present year, whilst thestreets
aud banquets have been kept in
as good If not better condition
than amy other village in the
State. During all these years tax
alton has never been over one ner
cent. There are numerous towns
in Louisiana that are over head
and ears in debt, whose warrants
are hawkpd about the streets fol
any price that will be offered
whilst there is never IL dollar il,
their treasures and they have
nothing to represent the money
spent.
Without credit they must pay
three prices for every thing they
have done. and thus they go tloull
drrlng along like Il man with {;
thousand dollars farm covered
over with a ten thousand dolla,
mortgage. at the end of each yeal
they find themselves worse off fl
financially than they We're at the
commencement, until finally re-
pnIiation follows and the grass
takes possession Of tue streets
and highways. The Legislature
did Il wise thing in thn> putting
a stop to an rnwi>e and nnsonnd
system OF finance. and in proven.
ting an accidental set of Police
jury or Town Connci.men from
heaping up an Infamous debt
upon their constituents without
their consent.

To-day is printed a commu.
,nlcation from "Lonis' in regard
to fast driving on the streets. ra.

plants of the writer are just, and
such conduct should he stopped,
Mention is made of country
youth who was fined for using
jackson street as a race cou,se a
short while ;go. The call upon
the Mayor to stop these viola
tons OF city ordinances is very
apropos also.
A man once found his cart
stuck fast i'll a mudhole, and then
sat down on the side of the road
sapd ca He'd upon Hercules to helm
his horse pull the cart ont of the
mire. but Hercules told him to
put his own shoulder to the wheel
and then he could pull 1t ont.
Now, if the parties who witness
these infractions of Town Ordi-
,naces, (and fast riding aud driv>
ing over the streets is one of
them will file their complaints
before the Mayor in due form.
the offending parties will be
brought up, and if guilty, will
receive the same consideration as
the country man mentioned i'm
this communication.
The Mayor and officers of the
Town cannot see everything that
is going on, and it is Just as mncl,
the duty OF any citizen who sees
the Town Ordinances set at def.
;ance. to enter a complaint before
the proper officers, as it is for the
officers to punish the guilty par.
