every tax sale exceed the taxes assessed

every tax sale exceed the taxes assessed,
those who make the redemption previous
to January 1st will save more than half
what they must afterWard pay to effect
the redemption.
In regard to delinquent tax payers, if
they come forward at once and pay
their delinquent tax, assessed and re-
corded against them, they are entitled
to full and entire acquittance and
receipt on paying the principal of the
tax assessed against them, and are
moreover entitled to a discount of ten
per cent per annum until January LIST,
1881. But the days Of grace for delin-
quents expire also on the list of January,
1881.
All the interests, costs, penalties, fees,
charges, &C., RENTED by the ordinance,
if not paid by that day, revive, and
attach to the property upon which the
taxes and licenses are due, and the
sheriff will then proceed to sell the
property without benefit Of appraise-
ment, and give the purchaser at such
sale full and complete title.
AS will be seen the ordinance also
provides for the payment of all these
delinquent taxes and licenses in certain
outstanding valid obligations of the
State. These obligations though rapidly
enhancing in value are still selling at a
discount, and hence delinquents who are
prompt in settling make in this way
another considerable saving.
In conclusion we advise all interested
to give the ordinance a close and at
tentive perusal, and if they be within
any of the catagories of cases provided
for by the ordinance, to lose no time in
taking advantage of its benefits.
When lands are sold at tax sale and
the purchasers enabled to obtain full
and complete title, there will be pur-
chasers and plenty of them, and if you
delay too long you may suddenly wake
up to realize the fact that the title of
your land is vested in another, who
becomes by his purchase absolute owner
and against whom no claim for re-
| demption exists.

Though an election is near at hand,
there is no stir in politics in this parish.
AS no State, or parochial officers are to
be elected, the people apparently take
very little interest in the matter. Can
didates for ward and parish Offices are
the ones who arouse the people and
cause full vote to be polled. AS no
such are to be elected at the coming
election the prospects are that COM
pararatiyely small vote will be polled.

soldiers VINO were ~ one ume OF the
other confined in this prison there are
probably not 100 who can tell how it
received its name. The building is
one of the Oldest in this part of the
city, and ten years before the war
sign, with black letters on q white
ground, told the character of the estab-
lishment as follows: Libby 4 Sons,
Ship Chambers and GrOcers." Old
Libby was in those days one OF the
richest citizens i'm Richmond and lived
Oh Chenda Hill, in the lower part OF
the city, his residence being beauti-
fully situated upon an eminence over
looking the river, and which to this
day bears the name. In 1851 this old
sign still stuck to the prison walls.
When the Confederate States authori-
ties first began to look around for y
military prison they selected large
house in what is known as Lumpkins'
alley, near Broad street, at least mile
from the river. This place was known
as "Castle Goodwin" and had former
ly been used as keep or "jail" for
slaves. This place-Lumpkins' alley
was then the great slave market, and
every year slave-traders came here
from down South either to buy or to
sell slaves. On either side Of the alley
were large wooden buildings technical
~ known as 'jails," and here the
slaves were kept until they were sold.
One of these jails were converted into
Castle Goodwin" and used as q Con-
federate prison until about the year
1862 The increasing number OfprisO-
ners, however, caused the Confederate
States Government to look around for
q larger and more available prison,
and the Libby Warehouse was select
ed. The Libby stands by the side of
the Richmond Dock, looking over
