SPEOIAL ORDEB.
The special order of the day being
Mbate Bill No. 20, providing for the re
isiseon of penalties to delinquent tax
_.wers was taken up.
Mr. Steven moved toadopt, on second
uiditng, the report of the committee in
iwtor of the bill, having been previous
Myr. rovter in the chair.
Mr. Eustsle moved to strike out the ex
mptfioiapplying to delinquencies for
sxes diue in New Orleans in the words,
} xdept those due in New Orleans."
)Cr. Robertson inquired as to what
• emltid be the effect of the exception on
he premium bond plan andthe obliga
iems created by that plan.
Mt. White argued in opposition to the
*mendment.
Mr. Eustis said the ambiguity of
wVious enactments on the SeibJect of
tel mision of tax penalties was such
it had been held that, although
law provided for remission of such
_-unalties "throughout the State," such
tetieleon did not apply in behalf of the
of New Orleans. We have, in New
sans, resting upon us the burden of
per cent of the taxes as redorded due
-tate. This burden was proportion
rl&yheavier in the olty than any other
3,_lona of the State and considering
he greater deoreolatlon of property in
c·l ountrry, two-thirdb of this burden
sted on the city. It it was an act of
eimee for the country to complain, a
jgmon of the city had a right to join
m the grand procession for relief.
Mr. White said he would favor a
ee1sal law if one was. proposed and
lmtitutional to cover the case of New
s.
SEustis said that under this bill
nlenalties due byy an corporation of
late, except New Orleans, were re
. oode asked if there were pen
d awunder the existing laws for the
mmo-paYment of taxes.
M.ý Ogdea replied yes, in the charge
dnterest.
Mr. Goode thought there was a seri
aiquestion under the premium bond
as a contract, whether the pen
-'es could be remitted in New Orleans.
-r. e ustis, for the information of the
Ueuator, said that he would read the
ar~se of the premium bond act. The
so far from being a contract that

esritlaatibu Of his iaons or doir i,
tion of the bill Mr. White moved to
amend by inserting "State and parish
taxes."
Mr. Eustis moved as a substitute to
insert "State, parochial and municipal
taxes."
Mr. Robertson moved to lay the sub
stitute on the table. Motion lost, and
the adoption of the substitute being in
order, Mr. White spoke in opposition
to including municipal taxes in the sub
stitute, whoih he thought should be left
to the discretion of the city.
Mr. Zacharie further argued the pro.
priety of the question involved in the
matter as one for serious consideration.
The law in a measure had been crystal
ized, albeit by hostile legislation, in
such manner that it would not be pru
dent to deal precipitately or immaturely
with it, and he therefore begged the
Senators not to be hasty in their action,
particularly the Senators from the
country, who cannot so well understand
the extent and nature of the interests
of the city.
The yeas and nays being called for on
the adoption of the Eustis substitute,
Mr. Goode said he was opposedto draw
log any distinction between the city and
country, and after due consideration of
the oblections which had been raised
he thought them unfounded.
Mr. Robertson said he would vote no,
because he was opposed to creating a
premium by remission for the non
payment of taxes.
The vote resulted as follows: Yeas
Ducros, Eustis. Garland, George,
Goode, Grover, Ogden, Perkins, Sandi
ford and Texada. Nays--Breaux, Ellis,
Mitchell, Richardson, Robertson. Sto
ven, Stubbs, Wheeler, White and Zach
arif.
There being a tie, an1d the President
voting in the negative, t he substituto of
Mr. Eustis was ,lost, anl{i tihe bill was
finally passedt, a itution to reconsider
being lost..

LOWT "Tll:E NEWs' WA% IRECEIVED,
St. Charles rotunda, even as early as
Shalf, past six, presented a much mere
lively appearance than it has for many
e evenings past. The rumored receipt of
a telegrams from Washington indicating
that the Supreme Tribunal had arrived
at a Judgment on the presidential ques
, tion, elated most Republicans anti de
pressed all Demncrats, but when later
news came in that the opinion given
did not affect, seriously, the national
qo uestion, there was a matnifest change.
In the rotunda there were (livers opin
o ions expressed as t tthe effect of the
decision of the tribunal; some thoug .t
that, according to what came over the
wires, there was really nothing deilnite
ly decided, whilst others feared the
worst and looked for a Haves inauguira
tion.
Tihe nlter tlegrams that came in after
half past eight o'clock had a rather do
moralizing effect upon those of the Re
piublicans who, buoyed up; by the ru
1 nors of the early evening, appeared
willing to lay wagers even on the suc
ress of M%4 Hayes. The Republicans
lost somewhat of that bright peach
blossom complexion they luxuriated in
at six o'clock, and high llyers in the
way of heavy bets were like rico birds
in a heavy storm, not remarkably no
ticeable.
The news, however, produced consid
erable of a sensation in town, and to
day's papers will be read with a zest
not known for months past.
TIl, CH00OOL BOARD.
The School Board met at half-past
seven o'clock last evening in the Coun
oil rooms, H. C. Dibble in the chair;
Messrs. Marks, Hartzell, Glaudin,
Bourges, D1umonod, Pinchback, Tracy,
McConnell, Lougstreet, Waples, Roy
and Trevigne.
The president appointed the following
visiting committees for the month of
February:
F'irst District--Marks, Trevigne and
Dibble.
Second D)istrict--Pinchback, Walker
and McConneil.
Third District-Lynch, Dumont and
Bourges.
Fourth District- IIHartzll and Heath.
Fifth District-R-ty.
Sixth District-Wall esand Stamps.
Seventh District-Glaudin.
Several corn inuucations were received
and referred to the proper committees.
Dibble said that he had drawn a war
rant for twenty thousand dollars on
Packard's Auditor from the State
school funds, and turned it over to the
Treasurer of the board.
When this warrant is honored there
will be money enough to pay the teach
ers for one of the months of 1876.
The Fin rnce Committee recom
mended the payment of bills amount
ing to $1536 37, to be paid out of the De
cember funds, and also the bills
amounting to $4706 82, to be paid out of
the January funds. Adopted.
The Board then went into executive
session.
THIE LIUHr FIANTAPAric.
Last evening a charming entertain
ment was given at Granewald Hall by
the "Thalian Coterie," an association
composed principally of young gentle
men of Spanish birth or descent, reaid
ing in this city. The soiree, exclusive
in its character, was very recherche in
its composition, and presented an array
of beauty seldom to be met with any
where.
Down town at the residence of Mr. E.
B 1 , a grand soiree travcstie was
given, at which the elite of our Creole
society attended. The vicinity of
Washington Square presented a most
animated aplpearance, and the illumina
tions were gorgeous. The soiree par
took of the character of a grand jubilee
ov' r the return to the good old times.
The Governor, Lieutenant Governor
and other State officials were among the
invited guests.
Last week a magnificent reception
took place on It rmpart street, at the
residence Mr. D. A. C. The entertain
ment is re ported by those who attended
it to have been one of the most magni
ficent that .ias occurred in this city for
many long years.
