SOCIETY OF sous OF LOUISIANA.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. OH, 1881.
To the Editor of the Opelousas Courier:
At a meeting of the Society of the Sons OF
Louisiana in this city, held last evening, a com,
mittee was appointed to correspond with prom.
inent officials and business men, also pFofes
sional men in Louisiana, urging, in the in,
terest of that State which we hold very dear
combined and early action on the part of its
citizens on the matter of q Hitting Exhibit al
the Worlds Exposition of 1888. of the resources
and advantages offered by Louisiana to the
| Capitalist and Immigrant, We know of nc
better, nor even so good q medium, through
which to appeal 10 the Louisianians, than that
of the Press, and we therefore come first to
the members of your Estate.
The national honor as also her W interest
calls OH Louisiana to make the best possible
Exhibit at the said Exposition. No fairer do
| main, within the broad confines of our country
can be shown, than Louisiana can show, and
she should shine rs brightly as any other Star
in the nations galaxy. No richer or more fer
tile field can be shown to the Capitalist, Manu-
facturer and Agriculturist, inviting their in
vestments, than can Louisiana show to the
| many such who will be here in 1898.
Inasmueh as the Legislature will not reas
semble until 1892, it is upon the peo
pie OF the State, that they make united and
| speedy action, if Louisiana would be abreast OF
her sisters i'll showing to the world the glory OF
America. And after all, the people are the
State. Will you not therefore, urge on them
through their parish and municipal organiza-
lions, to make appropriations to one common
fund, for Louisiana's benefit, to be administered
by commissioners specially appointed there
for in the interest OF louisiana, and to act In
| her behalf in securing space for Louisiana, al
the approaching Exposition, where she can fit
| tingly show her abundant resources.
Louisiana has never been one whit behind
any other State, in doing her whole duty, MOI
has she ever lacked SONS of broad minds and
public spirit to maintain her honor and show
her glory; and certainly at a j%uncture SC
fraught with the country's honor and he1
own proud name, she will through her sons be
equal to this grand occasion.
Our Society will most gladly aid in this, to
any extent within its individual and collective
power. Very Respectfully,
]. SIDNEY VILLERE,
Z. r. SOuTHMAYD.

On the principal street Of the village stands
the home of ex-Gov. Boutwell,, a large,
old-fashioned two-story-and-a-half structure,
deeply shaded with large elms
SOMEWHAT OF FARMER.
The Ex-Governor. Senator and cabinet officer
is something of farmer, for last year there
was raised upon his place. Chestnut Hills, $50
tons of hay, IL tons of cucumbers and other
garden stuff in proportion. Mr.. Boutwell, has
for years, however, left the superintendency Of
his farm to his son. though in time gone by he
has often been found laboring with his hired
men in ditch and on field.
The doors of the Boutwell, mansion were
thrown open to guests today between the
hours of and pm. and during this time
continuous throng of people paid their re-
spects to their distinguished host and his wife,
They received in the drawing room at the left
OF the main entrance, being assisted by their
son and daughter-Francis NJ. and Georgianna
A. Boutwell,.
In an adjoining parlor curious and varied
collection of anniversary gifts was displayed
some remembrance from distant friends and
more from the neighbors and townspeople of
Mr., and Mrs. Boutwell, by whom they are held
in high esteem
In the neighboring dining room a continuous
collation. was served during the reception hours
following the presentation of tie guests.
A NOTABLE GATHERING.
The gathering was a notable one, including
among the number Judge E. r. Hoar, who was
in President Grants cabinet with Mr.. Bout
we'll; ex-Governors Claflin and Ames, Geo. B.
Loring, formerly minister to Portugal: Francis
Bird. the sage of Walpole: Col Daniel Need

NO TEN PER CENT PENALTY.
An Important Opinion Upon the Question Il
Penalty ON Delinquent Taxes.

An Important Opinion Upon the Question q
Penalty on Delinquent Taxes.
The collector of taxes recently wrote letter
to the Commissioners requesting that the attor-
ney for the District be directed TO furnish an
opinion as to the correct Interpretation Of sec
ton Of the act Of March 8, 1891. Bills are
rendered By the special assessment division
on which interest is claimed at the
rate of ten per centum per annum penalty and
penalty Of ten per cent in addition on the
total amount Of tax, interest and costs. The
people to whom these bills are rendered refuse
to pay this duplicate penalty, and the collector
says il becomes important that an official opin-
ion be rendered at once for the guidance Of his
Office.
Assistant Attorney s. 7. Thomas forwarded
an opinion on the subject today. He says that
he has carefully examined the section referred
to and advises that in his opinion il does not
authorize the imposition of penalty of 10 Der
cent in addition to the total amount Of
taxes, interests and costs. The language .'thers
shall be added a penalty OF 10 per cent 10 BE-
calculated on all sums due" means that all taxes
due prior to July I, 1889, which shall not have
been paid with interest at per cent on the S0th
of June, 1891, shall be collected with Interest
and penalties Is before the passass
of the act Of March s, 1891. The
object Of this law, Mr.. Thomas ava
in conclusion, was relief from penalties. the OBJ
ject being to hasten payment of delinquent
taxes by deducting the penalties, IL the interest
was paid by certain date and mot 70 impoep
new or additional penaltiea

Among the pleasant features was letter
from Vice Presiden. Morton. He wrote: II
wish / could be present to convey in person my
heartiest congratulations the occasion of
your golden wedding. Your brow is crowned
with honors bestowed by your state and the
nation and you have gone through exciting
times without your character. motives or IN
tegrity ever having been questioned by po-
litical opponent"
Ex-Gov. Boutwell, bears lightly the burden of
his seventy-three years, as does his wife, who is
four years his senior. His hair is somewhat
gray and he stoops slightly. but his movements
are not those of a man of three score years and
ten who has undergone the strain of great
mental work and responsibility, and the Keen,
comprehensive glance of his deep blue eyes in
dictate an abundance of mental acumen
Both the ex-governor and his wife are very
cordial though quiet and transformations en-
tertainers.
