ruary number of this magazine of Human

REMARKABLE SUccEss.-The success of
the leading literary paper of the West, the
Chicago Ledger, is truly remarkable. Since
its introduction to the reading public, six
years ago, the Ledger has steadily advanced
in favor, and is now acknowledged second
to no paper of the kind in the country Its
circulation is national, and has been OBJ
tanned through the efforts of its publishers
to produce a paper of high moral character,
and at the same time sell it at price con-
sistent with the present hard times That
they have succeeded, and we'll, too, the
thousands of readers of the Ledger scat
tered from Maine to Texas and from Oregon
to Florida will bear testimony. 1t is IL large
forty-e;ght column weekly paper, which con-
tains stories both complete and continued,
in each number, written by the best authors
of the day, and a great variety of informa-
ton interesting to every one. The subscrip-
ton price of the Ledger is only 81 so per
year, postage paid, and it is equal in every
particular to other papers of the same char
acter which sell for So year. Three
copies of this valuable paper will be sent to
any one who sends 10 cents and their ad-
dress TO the Ledger, Chicago, Ills.

Fifteen plantations in the parish OF
Lafourche which yielded 4579 hogs
heads of sugar in 1876, made only
BIZ hogsheads last season, loss OF
about thirty per cent. Taking this
falling off in connection with the in
creased expense of manufacture, the
inferior quality of the staple and the
poorer market of 1877, the Thibodaux
Sentinel estimates that the last sugar
crop of Lafourche will net less than
half that of 1876.

PARISH TAX ON TOWN PROPERTY.

|
/ The House Committee on Parochial
Affairs has reported uufavorably upon
the bill introduced by Representative
Fobb to relieve the people of Donald
sonville from payment of parish taxes
and licenses. Petitions for the pas
sage of such a bill are now being cir
culated for 81 signatures, but unless the
measure contains concise and strin-
gent provisions for the payment by
the town of an equitable proportion
of the expenses of parochial govern
ment, we doubt whether favorable
consideration from the General AS
sembly can be secured. For some
years past there has been much oppo-
sition to such bills among legislators,
and it seems the present Assembly
furnishes no exception to the rule.
We think the exaction of parish licen-
ses from persons pursuing trades and
occupations in town would be unjust
and should be prohibited, but it is a
question whether the tax payers of
the town would derive any benefit
from the abrogation of the one per
cent parish tax on their property, if
compelled to meet the expenses of all
criminal cases arising within the cor
porate limits and to bear pro rata
of the taxes for maintenance of public
schools, fees of Coroner, Jail Physi
elan, Assessor, payment of election
expenses, etc. A little town up the
river made such an experiment a few
years ago and found it a most disas-
trous one for the municipal treasury,
which was soon depleted and the cor
poration steadily accommodating a debt,
to meet which higher rate of taxation
was necessary than that previously
levied by the parochial authorities.
Under existing laws, Donaldson
vile annually contributes about $25OO
to the parish treasury, or little
more than one-fifth of the $14,5OO re-
quired to meet the yearly cost of par
0chial government. Before inviting
exemption from parish taxes, it might
be we'll for property holders in the
municipality to assure themselves
that such exemption would not in
crease rather than tighten their bur-
dens.

The Natchitoches Fjndicator is kind
enough to include the CHIEF in a re-
Gently published list of country papers
which are up to the times and alive
to the interests of their respective
sections; but our Natchitoehes con-

Assumption parish. We hold forth
IN Ascension, and if we can maintain
journalistic standard equal to that
OF the ViRdicator, neither the people
or ourselves will have reason to be
dissatisfied with the CHIEF.

1t is pertinently suggested by the
Natchitoches indicator that the chief
obstacle to the flow of immigration
which is needed to make Louisiana
prosperous in degree commensurate
with her great natural advantages, is
the aggregate of 244 mills State and
parish taxation. If we would secure
the occupation of our idle lands and
the investment of foreign capital in
our langulshing business enterprises,
there must be speedy methods devised
for tightening the present ratio of tax
alton.

Governor Nichols agrees with the
CHIEF that portions Of the existing
lar regulating the collection of taxes
are cumbersome and should be amen
,led. Several features of the old law
could be revived with profit, particu-
larly the one which requires written
or printed notification to each tax
payer individually of the amount of
his taxes and the date of their exigi-
bility.
