It is safe to say that at no time, du-
ring the administration of John Fitz-
patrick were the streets of the city in
their present deplorably dirty condi-
tion. The cutters stink and reek with
filth. the principal streets of the city
abound with accumulation of stable
manure and warehouse trash while Ca
nal and other streets show painfully
evident signs Of years Of studied neg
lect. Yet no word is said with refer
ence to state OF affairs, which had it
happened under any other administra-
tion would have been the cause of no
end of withering comment. Asit hap
pens, however, this willful neglect is by
an official who is big gun with the
lottery party and therefore free from
the attacks Of the pirate press, which
assails everything opposed to the lot

it may be-N. o. Sun.

Editor CLARIoN.-Being one of the two
deputy sheriffs in charge of the books OF
the tax-collectors Office, and in possession
of some information bearing upon the dis
cussion, that has taken place between the
Sheriff and the publishers OF the Courier
and ST. Landry Democrat, think ] should
give it to the public.
The Messrs Sandoz, having an interest
in the late E. p Goodwin's lease of the St
Landry Democrat, and consequently in
the business of that paper last year after
the death of Mr.. Goodwin, Mr.. Leonce
Sandoz called at the Office and inquired OF
me, how much money would the tax sales
published by that paper amount to. upon
being informed of the conditions OF the
contract and of the probable amount for
said work; he said that it was no money
for the printer and that he would never
had made such bargain with the shenh,
and that the Sheriff had no right to cut
the printer down that way, and that there
were laws regulating the printers fees.
will state that the contract made by
Mr.. Fontenot with the st. Landry Demo-
crat then was the same as that now exist
ing with the ST Landry CLARION.
As to the CLARION and the Sheriff getting
rich by the publication of tax sales, can
say that the CLARION is getting and will
get less money than the ST. Landry Demo
crat did under the contract which Mr.. l..
Sandoz complained of TO me. The CLARION
receives nothing for publishing tax sales
when the property turns out to be double
assessment and up to the present time
about threefourths of the sales advertised
have proven to be double assessments.

Editor st. Landry CLARIoS.-The people
of this neighborhood have been surprised
to see in the ST Landry Democrat of last
Saturday, q communication from this place
signed aRusticp in which are the following
words: II see where many call upon Mr.
C. NJ. Thompson to run for sheriff OF st
Landry. Let me say that MI: Thompson
deserves the support of the parish for any
Mace he mar be chosen TO fill
I live in Ghataignier myself and write
this to say that We have made enquiry and
found out who Rustic is He pays no
taxes, except perhaps Poll, represents
nobody but himself, has no influence here
OF elsewhere and can find nobody here TO
approve his statements.
What has Mr.. C. Ne. Thompson done to
deserve any @sfice in the gift OF the people
of this parish? Let Rustic answer that
question.
He certainly charges the people more
than Mr.. Chachere or any other clerk ever
did
aRustics does not conceal himself by his
nam he ptumc. He is another scrap and
his motives pretty well understood here.

Jan IO-24-N AdYtg proceedings.

The item Of 1880 in the Democrats ac-
count, shown to be approved on April 9th
1891, instead Of being for work done from
March 18th, 1890, to January 1871. should
read for work done from February 1st
1890 to January oath, 1891. also wish to
state, that the item of $95.75 in same ac-
count shown to be approved on March II,
1880, was for work performed in the year
1889. and that by an oversight did not
mention this fact, thus leading the sheriff
into error, that having been called upon
by the publisher of the St Landry Demo-
crat, before the last issue of that paper to
explain to him, how those figures had been
given the sheriff by me, examined my
books and saw where had made the err
ror, got a copy of the above statement
from the sheriff, and showed it to Mr.. L.
A. Sandoz, explaining to him how the
sheriff had been led into error as to the
item of $3.50 by said statement of mine, I
am of the opinion that Mr.. Fontenot's In
tention was to be absolutely fair with the
publishers Of said newspapers, and it is
due to him for me to say SO.
