HAPPILY ENDED.

The controversy between the
planters and Mr.. j. b. Levert has
been settled amicably, by MIR. Lee
vert complying with the demands
of the planters.
While, during this unfortunate
misunderstanding, there was some
waste of breath, there was a very
serious determination on the part
of the planters to maintain what
they considered their just rights.
And it is the general impression
that had not Mr.. Levert acceded
to their demands there would have
been trouble. Happily the matter
has been satisfactorily adjusted
and it is to be hoped that the pie,
asant relations heretofore existing
between Mr.. Levert, his tenants
and surrounding small planters
will be resumed.

THE OLD CLOTHES
ORDINANCE.

Houma, La, August 1S.-Iast Monday the
town council met and adopted an ordinance re-
gulating the sale of second hand clothes within
the incorporated limits Of the town.
The ordinance prevents the sale of second
hand clothes, unless the vendor can show q
health certificate from regular Board of Health
from where the clothing was purchased. so as
to permit the sale Of clothing that many con-
tain the germ Of contagious or infectious dis
eases, and making the person or persons failing
to comply with this ordinance subject IA dne
of $50 or imprisonment for three months or
both at the discretion of the mayor. and that
the ordinance take effect from and after its pro-
mitigation.
II seems this ordinance was passed from a
petition signed by the various merchants of the
town, requesting the mayor and town council to
call special meeting stating that 1t would
cause great calamity to Houma, in business
and in health. Some of the citizens favored
and some did not favor the ordinance. II is
law, and the officers contend that It will be RI
gidly enforced. Thibodeaux passed similar
ordinance few days ago.
The above was clipped from the
Terrebonne correspondence of the
Item of the 14th.
At the last meeting of the coun-
Gil an ordinance was introduced
prohibiting the sale of second
hand clothing in New Iberia, but
it was defeated Messrs Clerc and
Duperier voting for, Messrs
Burke, Patin and Laughlin
against.
1t was very evident that the con-
ira vote of these three gentlemen
was given only because they doubt
ed the constitutionality and hence
the validity of such an ordinance
if passed. This was evident for
Immediately after its defeat Mr..
Patin moved, and Mr.. Laughlin
seconded the motion, that the or

The Planters Meeting.

Last Sunday those planters hav-
ing differences with j. b. Levert
in regard to the bounty, and many
of their sympathizers, met in the
Court House, for the purpose, it
is said, of taking definite steps to
settle, or to devise some means to
force a settlement of their grie-
vance. The presence on the
Court House steps of MIR. Albert
Levert, and his brother-in-law,
DR.. Kearney, had calming effect
on the crowd because it was felt
that they were bearers of some
kind of proposition.
The meeting was called to order
by Edgar Marine, who announced
that the committee so for had
made no Roadway, and unfortu-
nately neither had not improved.
Judge Jas. Mouton spoke in the
same vein, and requested few
minute leave of absence to consult
or see DIR. Kearney and Albert
Levert, who desired to offer COM
promise.
"A committee of the Board of
Trade, presented to the meeting a
copy of the resolutions adopted by
that body, embodying a memorial
to j. b. Levert, urging him to set
tie with the planters.
Judge James f. Mouton, after
consultation with DR.. Kearney
and Albert Eevert reported to the
association that these gentlemen
with their lawyers, had submitted
an offer, and if the committee
would accept, they were prepared
to come to an agreement. After
mature deliberation the commit
tee reported that they had drawn
up a contract which demanded O
j. b. Levert the payment of hal
the bounty, less seven cents pc
ton for expenses of collection o
the bounty. This was agreed TO
and the plantation books. or a Ger
tificate from the Bureau of Inter
nal Revenue, will be used IA a ba
sis to make the settlement.

dinance be refereed to the city at
tosneys for their written opinion
as to its legality.
We find that other towns in
Louisiana are passing laws against
the sale of secondhand clothing
within their limits unless the veil
doris have certificates from the
Boards of Health in the localities
where the clothing was purchased.
Houma and Thibodaux passed
such laws last week, and appar-
emily they hold good.
We wish to work injustice to no
one in this matter-neither to the
second hand clothing merchant
nor to our community and it seems
to us such law is just to both.
If the clothing be such as the mer-
chants always represent it to be

In 1862, when served my country al

HOW RIDICULOUS +?

In an interview with the Daily
States, Mr.. j. b. Levert expressed
himself in the following words re-
garding the existence of a Board
of Trade in st. Martinville.
Now, in the second place. you notice
that these resolutions were passed by
the st. Martinville Board of Trade. This
great organization must have been for
med since ] left there. Imagine Board
OF Trade i'm town not exceeding 1000
inhabitants. The idea is ridiculous. |
do not intend TO be intimidated, how
ever. and am not very much surprised at
this action. as l know the very instiga'
tor and advocate of this step. whereby
they hope to secure what they allege
they are entitle TO-"
Mr.. Levert thinks it is ridicu-
lous for a town of two thousand
inhabitants to have a Board OF
Trade. We will remark to Mr..
Levert that the Board of Trade OF
st. Martinville is not as great an
institution as he thinks it is, but
just big enough for our two thou
sand town.
Mr.. Levert ought to know thai
our town is as complete in its or.
ganization in its smallness as the
city of New Orleans in its great
ness. MIR. Levert may think it ri
diculous that We have a Mayor, I
town council, fire department
with even engine. We also hav'
court house, a Jail and lawyers
Just think of all this for town o
two thousand inhabitants, how ri
diculous!
If MIR. Levert was a reader O
the local and city press he woul
certainly have learned that 81
! Martinville had Board of Trad
that did lots of good for this towr
during the four years of its exis
/ tence, even if it has officiously il
} terfered with his personal affair."
