HENRY M. KNOX, having kept his st. Paul
bank open until five o'clock in the afternoon
for the purpose of receiving deposits, sat up
during the night in order to be able to close
his door at daylight, the next morning. This
piece of financial engineering entities his
opinions on financial affairs to great weight
and his screed relative to banks and their
responsibilities is evidently inspired by e1-
perience.

the clerk of the courts "Iien Dockets," and are
found to have been properly entered for judgment,
including two of the largest entries (for $4,000,
and for $4,000 respectively. The criticism would
however, still seem to be just one, a. to why some
authoritative entry of such important proceedings

In regard to his 'real estate taxes on duplicates
for 1877 and 1875 noted as assigned in pencil, the
question arises as to how far this pencil memoran-
dunn may have prevented any other person from
taking an assignment of the property. The proper

and even in the sale column Of the judg nent book
exception Is not wanting Of an entry in pencil As

actions.
DEPOSITORY AND OFFICIAL BONDS.
On January 6, 1876, the board Of auditors adj
vertised for proposals for the deposit Of the
funds of the county under the act of 1873
Eight bids were received, all offering a per
cent. per annum interest on daily or monthly
balances. All these bids were accepted, and
the bonds of the repositories accepted ana ap-
proved by the board of commissioners. have
examined these bonds with great care The
approval of the boaId is expressed upon them
all and upon all the official bonds but two by
the signatures of the auditor alone, without
bis official seal, and in this msnner also are all
the minutes of the proceedings of the board
approved. 1t seem. to me that all these docu-
ments should be signed by the chairman of the
board, and attested by the auditor by his sig
nature and seal, thus making them legal evil
dence (Sections 1866, page l37. G.. s.. without
further proceedings. The terms and condi-
tions of some of the depository bonds are most
generally and vaguely expressed, not in any
way referring to the law upon which they are
based, to no action Of the board OF auditors,
and having NO statement that the bank is, or
il to be, designated as depository, and not OBJ
ligating the bank to credit or pay interest to
the treasurer. Still with the proposals of the
banks and the approval of the commissioners
duly recorded upon their minutes, am ad-
vised that the bonds should not necessarily be
rejected had 1 not found other causes which
required me to refer the whole matter
to the board with the opinion
that the entire file should be
carefully gone over by them and new bonds
called for whenever the necessities of the case
demand it. The additional causes beside in
formality 10 execution are three. First-Un-
der proviso of the act of 1873, "that the
amount deposited in any bank or banking
house shall not exceed the assessed capital
stock of said bank or banking house, as ahall

der section 1853 of the tax law of 1874, and they
SO appear as part of the regular list for tina,
year. The claim is also made that q portion OF
said list was the property of non-residents. and
so were mot collectable." This is undoubted.
~ true. OF course it cannot be known what
exact proportion of said list was the property
of non-resideuts without going over each name
and ascertainipg the residence of each person at
the time; but comparing page by page, and
name by name, according to the best of my
Judgment, at least one-half of the amount land
I should now say two-thirds) was property of
residents of the county and, except in special
cases of grievances do not see how this could
be abated a. ''irregularly assessed, or al mot
collectable," certainly with no propriety or le-
gality. by one sweeping stroke of tie pen.
In regard to attachments other than those OF
mortgages, under the special act of 1874 (chap-
ter l, sub chapter 8, section 10, the board of
abatement Tor city tax committee,) or a
majority Thereof had power until the
LIST day of September succeeding the assess
ment, with respect to property within the city
limits, to make such Attachments as they
deemed just upon proper cause shown by the
party aggrieved. as also by general law the
board of com missioners had such power out
side the city. No sworn statement of the ag-
grieved person was at that time required as un-
der the special act of 1876. chapter 2l2, but it
is evident that the proceedings in regard to
attachments were too hurriedly and earelessly
performed. The abatements were made with
out formal petition, on scraps of paper and
penciled memoranda, and not for proper
cause shown thereon, being largely based up
on the ground of excess in valuation over
neighbors or firms in the same branch of BUSH
ness. These petitions or memoranda were al
most invariably approved in pencil. and the
signatures thereto were those of individuals
not stated to be members of any board OF COM
mittee, and did not thus carry with them the
sanction of any authorized tribunal. Further,
the minutes of the city tax committee do not
always show that majority was present, which
only had power to abate, and they are signed

VfVU, ana tne amount charged In full for the
services of four commissioners acting upon
the board of equalization for that year, was
1852, or . total possible CO mpensation per an
mum of 1852. In the large amounts paid to COM
mlssiouers for services during former years.
there ia no doubt (and it go appears) that extra
allowances we're granted for work upon the
boards of abatement, upon committees, etc.,
etc. but for the proper allowance of these l
have been able to discover no legal authority.
As to allowances to the several officers other
than for salaries, the multiplicity of them,
and their complication under the various spe-
cial acts, rendered it impossible for a layman
to decide which were and which were not al
lowable under the statutes. The whole matter
therefore, with full list Of claims of all kinds
for q term of years. was submitted to the attor-
ney general in order as stated "to determine
what allowances have been made heretofore
without legal authority, and also to form
basis for action hereafter not capable of doubt
or demonstration. The general principles
laid down in the general attorneys reply, and
their application to many of the items sub
mitted cannot be understood except by en-
bodying herein the list made and the opinion
rendered as applicable thereto.
The numerous detailed items we're brought
together and consolidated in my list
as far as possible as to fall under the several
laws in force at the time IF the allowance, and
it has not been attempted to separate diverse
items of theBame voucher. as the object was
more to determine at this time the legality
than the exact amount of the several allow
ances.
The list as submitted and the opinion given
here follow as part of this report:

Patent Issued.

n patent has been granted to Messrs.
n. Il. Milton, T.. a. Hall and D.
Stcinau, Of Monroe, for combined
cotton scrapcr, chopper and dirter.
This is the third agricultural device
patented in this parish within Il few
years, a fact which attcsts that we
have more than an average share of
inventive talent. The introduction of
such implements, or devices, into gen
cral use depends mainly upon an ac-
tive canvass and practical mcnstra-
lions, which being wanting SO far as
the Ouachita inventions arc concerned,
because of inadCquacy of means, we
have to report only {, limited success
in their manufacture and sale. DIR.
Brown, however, is gradually intro
tlucing his Fertilizer Distributor, and
is encouraged to much greater efforts.
Mr.. Camp has only partially succeeded
with his scrapcr, owing to inability to
display its efficiency and canvass the
country. This latest invention may
prove profitable, or not, according to
the energy, or lack of it, manifested in
its introduction.

THE PRESS CONVENTION.
What u Lady Thinks.

From tho Gretna Courier, owned and
edited by Mrs. IIiIdcnbrand, we copy
as follows:
Through the medium Of the chill
drCn we learned to know Mrs. Fields
OF the Times. Everybody knows she
is a most highly accomplished lady.
We know more; she was nsinistcring
angel to our little one while sick. For
be it understood, we took the Courier's
three babies along, not having the
heart to leave them at home, as
they have not yet bcen wcaned from
mother.
Had we been so unfortunate as net
to have gone, we would have felt the
loss, as we will now surely feel the
gain. At first, We felt a reluctance in
going, fearing that we would be the
only lady present, and consequently
have to bear the brunt OF being mis-
taken for stronG-Ininded woman, to
which VIC have no aspiration and that,
probably, some Of the members would
be wishing "Our Shadow less" and
being conscious OF how little of the SUBJ
stance there was, We should not have
rclishcd the toast.
But all this was in imagination; we
We're not the only lady, and our rccep-
ton could not have been more hearty,
as each of lis can testify.
We feel honorcd in being member 4;
and though the little Gretna Courier
will not likely, from any radiation of
its own, be able TO accomplish what is
prophesicd for it, it can but be reflect
cd by contact with such constellation
Of genius, as formed the nucleus of the
Press Convention.
Even if VIC did pass slcepless nights
with the children, and though VIC
were Frustrated on reaching home, We
would go through the same experience
again.
