We donbt if any other Sheriff in the
State has made as close a collection of
taxes for 1881 as Capt. Chas A. Brusle
of 1berville. The total State tax levied
in lberville for that year was s14,502, %
OF which $14, 1887 has been collected
Dedncting 1921 for erroneous assessments
and the tax Oh movable effects Of per
sons who have left the parish, and the
nncollected balance dwindles down to
the very small sum Of Ss7 Go. This is a
showing at once creditable to the parish
and the Sheriff.

| easieu, Cameron and Vermilon it is
probable delegations will he elected
without much excitement or opposition,
and out of the twenty-one votes allotted
these parishes in the district conven ton.
it is considered almost certain that Sen

three short of a majority. There may
De contests from Ascension, Terrebonne,

are there will be divided if not douhie
delegations from some or all Of these

Kellogg will have more than q sufficient
number of votes among them to insure

Congressman Darrall has returned
from Washington and is now in the dis
trict looking after his interests. 1t is
supposed that he Will make an effort to
secure the balance Of power in the con-
yent!on in order to control the nomina-
ton and dictate terms to one or the other
OF the more prominent candidates. AS
We said in u recent article, Dr.. Darrall
and Senator Kellogg have been on
friendly terms, whereas the relations
existing between Judge Beattie and the
Doctor have been quite the reverse
hence it seems natural that our Congress
man, finding himself a poor third in tile
race, would elect to throw the weight Of
bis influence i'll favor of the Senator.
However, "politics make strange bed
ellows" and produce peculiar aud rapid
Of men and things, and
here may prove to bo foundation i'll fact
or the belief professed III some quarters
hat Judge Bcattie and DR.. Darrall will
orm an alliance against their more pop
liar competitor for the nomination. If
hey do not essay to carry their oppose
ion beyond the convention, the results
Vt such a combination ma, be awaited
~ the Republicans of the district with
perfect equanimity. The choice of
iominee is less important than the con.
ideration that the action of the conven-
lion should be acquiesced in by all the
and their. supporters.

Many people seem to entertain the
idea that the Republicans have been
turning Democratic members out of the
House OF Representatives by wholesale.
whereas the TRUTHS that the contested
cases decided i'll favor of Democrats are
nearly double as many as those wherein
action favorable to Republicans has been
taken. The total number of these con-
tests before the present Congress was
twenty-five; eleven have been settled in

publlcans, one seat has been declared
vacant and four cases remain to be con-
sidered.
