The Sugar BOnl seems inclined
to think that the proposed excur
sion from vermilIionville to Thibo
daux will not take place, owing
principally to the fact that the r.
r. Company is demanding such
exOrbitant rates for the train. 1t
ends its article by saying: "a
more liberal policy, gentlemen,
would not make your management
less popular with the people," a
sentiment which We endorse in it's
entirety. 1t is to be regretted that
no other route is presented by
which our friends from the Teche
region may visit our town, than
that afforded by the Rail Road
monopoly.

In the case of Levi jules vs..
Mayor Of Thibolaux, III which
plaintiff had applied for a Habeas
Corpus before Judge knObloch of
the District Court. the matter was
argued by Judge Beattie for plain
tiff in writ and by Hon. I. d. Moore
for the Mayor. The decision was
in favor Of the right of the Mayor
to fine or i'nprison for the violation
of u Town Ordinance. AS the Ques
ton involved was Of IA grave public
character, the decision of the Judge
was awaited with a good deal Of
anxiety by the citizens of the Town,
and when rendered, it was received
with the liveliest satisfaction. We
hope that this decision will have
the effect of impresslng all wrong
doors that the Town of Tbibodaux
has the right to punish any iufrac
ton of its ordinances, and will
always exercise it to the fullest ex
tent.

for his indecent assault upon a re

fined himself to this would have
earned the sympathy Of every right
thinking man in town. But. he
went out of his way to apply an op
probrlous epithet to his white fellow
citizens, who, of course, resented
the insult in the manner it descrv
ed. A riot seemed imminent when
the colored people took to flight at
the sight of a drawn pistol, and the
difficulty came to an end. The
drunken man was sentenced to ten
days Imprisonment, and the colored
man who was the cause of the. dis
tuIbance of the peace, received
the full penalty Of the law for that
offence aud for using obscene Ian

There is no neighborhood in the

THE NEW ASSESSMENT.
Work OF the Equalization Bonrd--Reduc-

East wnshIngton.

Work OF the Equalization Bonrd--Reduc-
tion in the Valuation OF Property in
East Washington.
Up TO the close of their session Saturday
the board Of assessors had acted on 140 ap-
peals, the larger portion Of which were dis
allowed. The many changes will necessitate
more equalization, and it is thought greal
press of work will result. The Linthicum
and noyce estates have been reduced to 5000
an acre and improvements TO $4,000. The
sixteen acres of Columbia college have been
increased from $4,000 to 5000 per acre
1t was stated by Commissioner West in the
interview with the committee of Capitol Hill
citizens that the assessment of property in
East Washington had been considerably re-
duced and the following instances will give
q general idea of the extent of the decrease: I:
Philadelphia row, on Eleventh street east,
square $50, on lots % to 40, was in 1879 rated
vt ~ cents per square foot and $500 for im-
provements on each lot. The new assessment
is 8 cents per square foot and $1,000 for i'm
provements on each lot, except two or three,
which have new stables erected on them,
rated little more than the others. Grants
row, in square 760, on East Capitol street, in
the assessment of 1879, was assessed at 20
cents per square foot for the ground, and for
improvements $4,000 each on three houses
and $4,000 each on eleven houses. The pres
ent assessments are 30 cents per foot on corner
lots and $1,000 each for the best three houses,
and $1,000 each for eleven houses and 80 cents
per square foot on the ground, on which is
erected the last-named houses The Congress
sional hotel in square $50, corner of New
Jersey avenue, was assessed in 1879 for S20,-
600 on improvements and $1.50 per square
foot for tho ground. The new assessment
stands $4,000 for improvements and 81 per
square foot for tho ground Gen. Butlers
granite block was assessed in 1879 at 100000
for improvements and $3.50 per square foot.
The present assessment has not changed the
value of improvements, but the ground is
valued at s5 cents per square foot. A vacant
square in the northeast section of this city,
numbered sos, was assessed in 1879 at 10
cents per foot 1t is now rated at cents.

The Meeting was Held.

Certain persons having charged that the
meeting of colored citizens held on Thursday
night at jackson hall, in the eastern part of
the city, and reported in Fridays REPUBLI-
CAN, was bogus one, and that no such meet
ing was held, The REPUBLICAN, announces
the following facts: The meeting did take
place at the above mentioned hall last Thurs
day evening. There were present over 100
persons, all respectable and worthy citizens.
The report as published in The REPUBLICAN
was u correct and just one. Ex-Trustees
Wilkinson, Smith, Lewis, and Collins were
not present, nor were they reported in THE
REPUBLICAN, as being present. Ex-Trustee
Smith, however, writes The REPUBLICAN a
letter saying that he was invited to attend
and that the meeting did take place. The
secretary of the meeting, Mr.. Charles +.
Williams called at this office yesterday and
certified to the correctness of the report.
