L. Garland, Esq:
Mr. Editor:
certifying to proceedings had at meeting OF
the citizens of Opelousas in relation to the bill
pending before the Geueral Assembly to or
ganize new parish
Being called from the town by professional
duty, [ merely called said meeting to order
and soon after doing so, called Judge Huds.
peth to preside it. / know not what trans
pired, and can not therefore certify to the
proceedings. I believe they are correctly re-
ported. avail myself of the occasion to
state that
lst, The people of southwestern st. Landry
are reasonable in asking for parish organi-
cation if they can btain it within the Consti
tuition.
I'd. If it is necessary to obtain the terrific
rial area prescribed by the Constitution, that
they should run up to points affecting the in
terestof other public communities, then there
3d. It is an empty statement to our south
western coparishioners to say, that we con-
-cede their right to ask for parish organiza-
tion and at the same time say to them, you
cannot run your line to such particular points
regardless Of the fact whether by such limi-
I "
obtain the six hundred and twenty five square
miles required to form parish.
AS a casual reading of this letter,
might create the impression that it was
I. who had used Mr.. Garland's name
without authority, Ito certify the pro-
ceedings held at the meeting Isubmit
the following statement of what actnal-
! ly did occur:
! When Mr., Garland was called away
soon after the organization of the meet
ing, he called me to preside, which ]
did, until the excessive heat compelled
me to vaeate the chair; when / called
Mr. Theo. Chact1er6 to preside. Some
time afterwards he called E. D. Esti-
lette, ESQ, to the chair. After relin-
auishing the chair, was in, and out, oi
the room and voted against the final &C
ton taken by the meeting, / certified
nothing aohatever, either in my owr
name or in the name of anybody else
neither did Chachere or Estilette. l
the proceedings we're certified at all
they were certified by neither III. 1
Garland, Estilette, nor myself, tn
J three persons who presided over th
. meeting from its organization, to its ad
iournment. Should it be deemed
J matter of any Importance to find 90
: who did 'scertify the proceedings
: suppose it can be easily ascertained ]
: Nov, as to the sentiments and view
expressed in MIR. Garlands letter as
the formation of the new parish, an
the adoption of the lines thereof, che
!. are in exact accord with my own, al
I meet with my most unqualified indors
q ment and approval.

the inevitable, ubiquitous, aud Argus

lowed the happy twain and have given
tile world a volume of ssweet non-
sense about their movements, diver
sions and daily looks at their honey
moon hermitage. Ah well marriage
is always an interesting event to young
and old It is a spectacle that always
calls forth the best feelings and wishes
Of humanity for those who have
pledged their love and faith as com
panions for life. Aud President Cleve-
land being the executive head Of the
greatest republic on earth, very natu-
rally makes him and his accomplished
wife the cynosures of all classes of peo-
Ole and countries at this most anspi
cioas period of their lives. May their
happiness be as great as their exalted
position, and may their example and
power for good exceed their distin
gnlslled notoriety
