In our account of the fire, in the last
issue, we awarded the entire Fire De-
partment the credit to which they are
entitled for arresting so promptly what
threatened to become a very serious con-
migration. Where all the companies did
their duty so faithfully, we dislike to
single out any particular organization.
Still, when we reflect that the gallant
men OF Independence No.2 perform their
work with a hand engine-though a
splendid One-we deem it but an act of
SIMPLE justice to say that, first in posi-
ton, the stream of their unfailine en-
CINE was as effective as if steam had
been driving it. and when Washington
No. came to aid them with their steam
er, the tire-fend was already in retreat
before the steady work of their down
town brethren.

Louisiana capitolian., 1880-02-21

The effects of the war were felt, the
other day, on Hill's plantation, in West
Baton Rouge parish, by an unfortunate
darkey who ploughed up bomb-shell,
and in accordance with time-honored
custom, got it into his head that the
harmless looking thing would make a
fine andiron." For while there was no
fire and the thing looked we'll and worked
to his entire satisfaction; but, alas the
oid darkey gave ball and during the
evening the weather turned cool and .
fire was built. Then came an explosion
tearing off large portion of the roof of
the shanty and scattering things pro-
miscuously. Fortunately no one was
killed-the only serious results being
the loss of leg by the old darkey's son,
boy about ten years of age, who was
lying on pallet asleep, altogether un-
conscious of the mrth that was going
on around him.

RAILROAD MATTERs.--On last Monday
Mayor Jastremski received dispatch
from our ever watchfnl member of Con-
gress, DOL E. w. Robertson stating that
the only compromise he could obtain in
the matter of the transfer of the land
grants of the old Backbone Road to the
Wheelock project, is clause whereby
the latter road will cross at Baton Rouge
or within five miles therefrom. BY the
advice of the City Council Col. Robert

Council preferred that the crossing
should be at Baton Rouge, but to do the
best he conld in the interests of ourcity.
THE CAPITALd.oAN.- On our arrival
home, last Saturday, we were greeted
with the welcome intelligence that local
pride had bsen so aroused by the fact
that parties abroad doubted the ability
of our city to raise the amount required
that our fire companies, foreign and 9TH
cr socleties-even the cOlOred associa-
ti0ns-have determined to invest their
surplus funds in Capital bonds. This
feeling is shared by private individuals
to such an extent, that the loan will be
taken up in Baton Rouge, just as soon
Us the bonds can be delivered.
The valentine busine!s has been unu.
sually lively during the past week. A
large NJ amber were caricatures, intended
to make the recipients grow cred in the

the "sharp ones" have quietly destroyed
these without even showing them to
their nearest neighbors. Among the
young people, though, the sentimental
ones have had their preference, and more
lovc-sick poetry than we have ever be-
fore heard of, has been the result. There
are disconsolate youths and maidens on
every hand, if the doleful recital of the
pangs inflicted by Cupid's darts be half
true. All of these will be explained in
the course of time, as love, like murder
will surely "out."

An ImDOrInMtC ONO

The following case, tried on last Saturday
before Judge BurAe, and by him decided
on Tuesday, the 9Th inst, is one of very
general interest MS test case. The facts are
MS follows: w. j. Betterton Il Co, and E.
NJ. Tillmsnn IL Co., of Dallas, wholesale
liquor dealers, in September last, each paid
to the Comptroller 5000 State occupation
tax, for which the Comptroller issued his
receipt and issued licenses to their drum
mers. The County Collector afterward de-
manded 5000 for each firm AS their State oc-
cupation taxes rs wholesale liquor dealers.
This they paid under protest, and immedi-
ately sued out an injunction from the County
court, enjoning the tax collector from pay
ing the money into the State treasury, and
sueing to recover it back. The matter had
previously been referred to the Attorney
General and he had ruled that the 5000
paid to the Comptroller was merely the
tax required to be paid to entitle the par
ties To have drummers, and that they
were still liable to pay to the state the tax of
$500, assessed against wholesale dealers The
case was tried before Judge Burke last Sat
urday, Mr., Charles Fred Tucker appearing
Tor the plaintiffs and Judge Barksdule ap-
pearing for the tax collector under emp oy-
ment by the Comptroller. The case was
tried on u general demurrer, the facts all
being admitted. The Court took the case
under advisement and yesterday rendered his
decision in favor OF plaintiffs.
| This pusu invnlVna tia CONSERVATION e Art
1865 of the Revised Statutes, which leyies an
dealers. This article, after levy ing tax OF
$500 on each drummer, provides that
such person shall not be re-
required to pay the same if the person, firm
or association of persons represented by him
or for whom he is soliciting trade, shall have
paid merchants occupatiuu tax, Ms provided
in this section, Of two hundred dollars and
any firm, person OF association of persons
desiring to be represented, or TO solicit trade
by such commercial traveller or travellers,
shall have the right to do so by paying
TO the Comptroller OF the State n State tax
of two hundred dollars, payable annually in
advance and such person, firm or associa-
ton of persons paying such tax shall be ex-
empt from the payment of any other State
occupation tax MS a merchant" This article
also says that "a merchant, in the meaning
of this act, is any person, firm or association
Of persons engaged in buying and selling
goods, wares and merchandise of any kind
whatever"
The court held that o wholes H. liquor
dealer was "merchant" within the meaning
of the act, and that after paying to the
Comptroller tax of 5000 in order to be rep.
resented by drummers, he is liable to no
further State occupation tax as ii "uorchant"
orr wholesale liquor dealer
The case is important, Ms under the con-
structon Of the law as made by the Comp
troller and the Attorne, General every
Wholesale liquor dealer in the State is re-
quired to pay to the State $500, if he desires
to be represented by drummers. This is u
leading test case under the law, md we I'M
derstsnt it will be appealed by the State.

has been found at such little depth numbe,
