—On Tuesday morning a small
shower ot rain actually fell in suf
tieient quantities to wet the dust
and make a little mud.

—The Town Council have had
considerable repairs done to the
Guion Academy and added a large
new cistern in place- ot the old
one which had become worthless.

all merchandise tor this point
comes by the railroad at present.
—S. T. Grisaraore, in his stove
depot, has on hand a large assort
meut of bolts, nuts, patent ce

ers, oakum, Packing Lamps and
lanterns for sugar houses, &c.
—Bricklayers, carpenters, En
gineers, painters, foundries, saw
mills, boiler makers are all busy.
Work is going ou every where
so that there is no excuse for any
one to he idle in this part of
Louisiana:
—John Austin a colored man
liviug on St. Charles Street, some
two weeks ago, brutally beat and
kicked his wile, so that her lite
has been iu great danger ever
since. Justice Squires has placed
this monster in prison to await
tbe result of the injuries indicted
upon the woman.
—The Parish Board of School
Directors will meet on inonday

tute a school. White and colored
will be kept separate.
—Mr. • Larkin has a large
amount of work in the way ; tanks,
pans &c., to ho used in the inanu
faoture of sugar. Some of it is tor
theTeche country and some for
the Acadia plantation:
Home industry should 'lie pat
ronised. and home mechanics fur
nished employment.
—T, L. Winder, Parish Attor
ney, who is on a visit to Hot
Springs in Arkansas with Van,
his brother, writes the Sentinel
Aug. 2 i that Van is improving
and will be soon able to walk
again.
His numerous friends here will
rejoice to leant that he is recover
ing.
The Sentinel commences in
this issue to priut the proceed
iuds of the Parish School Board.
It does this, for the benefit of
all whom it may concern, expect
ing no remuneration other than
is found in the gratification af
forded to the friends of public
education, who may led an inter
est therein,
—It is seldom that a Law has
been so universally obeyed and
respected as the game law of the
last Legislature.
But tvo violations have been
reported and the payment ot ten
dollars a piece for quails will
cost those festive hunters to
pay heed to its enactment iu
the future.
_J. A Frost has repaired and
refitted his saloon on the corner
of Green and Market Streets so
that is the finest and most taste
fully arranged saloon ever seen,
m Thihodaux.
The proprietor has also an ex
cellent Kestauranteonnected with
the saloon where a good aud sub
stantial meal can be, had at all
times on reasonable terms.
—From all indications, the
crop of Sugar will probably be
equal to that of 1876. Had there
been more rains the yield would
have been better. The small quan
tity of rain that has fallen in this
Parish in 1877, is most reinarka
Me. The usual July rains causes
a rain fall far more than this
whole year lias given.
ltice growers are having an
excellent season for cutting their
crop, one of the best that has
been had for years.
—On yesterday week, seven
colored boys charged with bathing
in a i>ool in front of Michel Guil
lot's resident*,on Sumlaypervious
between the hours of four and five
o'clock P. M., and indecently ex
posing their persons,were brought
before Justice Squires and after
investigation were sent to jail for
10 hours. This should prove a les
son to boys and thev may as
well understand that in future,
violation of law m this vicinity
will meet with speedy punish
ment.
—There was an exhibition of
chivalry, that occasionually rises
to the surface in the young blood
oft.be country,on the public streets
a few days ago, that would have
been more creditable to the par
ties engaged, had it been dispen
sed with altogether.
When little jealousies and pet
ty animosities are aronsed no
good comes from making a pub
lie display of the same.
Private quarrels result in no
benefit and w hen they ' do arise
the public Lave uo interest in
them.
—The mariago of Mr. E. A
O'Sullivan a member of the
bar of Thihodaux and Miss Em
ilia A. Lagarde, daughter of Maj.
Cleophas Lagarde which occur
ed on Thursday August 30 at St.
Joseph's Catholic Church was
witnessed by large number of
friends of the youthful couple.
Mr. O'Sullivan has for several
years been the principal of Thi
bodauv College but in future will
devote his time to the practise of
the law.
The newly married parties left
on the evening train tor New Or«*

Agent, of Morgan's Railroad, pro
poses to build a branch road
from a point on the Acadia Plan
tation at which the road crosses
Bayou Blue, provided that the
people of this town or vicinity
will give "a right of way of 50

School!— Mrs. n, W. Young,
the experienced and accomplish
ed Teacher of young ladies will
resopen her school on the Ridge
field place near Thihodaux, on
t he first Monday of October next,
benig the thirteenth sessiou of
that well known aud efficient
school. The many pupils who
have' received their education
under tbe instruction of Mrs.
Young, will bear witness to the
efficiency and capacity of their
Teacher.
It is hoped that the approach
ing session will be more largely
attended than any previous one,
and those designing to attend
should bear in mind, that noth
ihg has so good an infiuence ou a
Teacher as a punctual attendance
upon the opening of the School,
so that all can be propel ly class

Chapter I
The secret history of the work
ings ot the office of Tax Collector
of this parish tor eight or teu
years previous to March 1 1877
would form a chapter of interest
ing matter that for sensationalism
and what is now designated as
"true inwardness" would hardly
be surpassed in the brilliant des
criptions, dedicated to villainy
and deeds of darkuess, which are
found in the pages rendered im
wo'tal by the pen of a Bulweror
a Scott. The way aud means, de
vised and adopted to appropriate
the taxes ot the people to any
and all purposes, except those
for which they were paid, and
the unscrupulousness and chica
nery with which the public trea
sury was filched of its funds and
emptied into the pockets of the
obbers and thieves who have
held most of tne places of trust
md honor (?) in Louisiana during
the last decade of years eould not
be imagined or comprehended bv
any man of ordinary capacity
who has not been a spectator of
these dark transactions aud an
unwilling victim of the plunder
ing of the wealth, and the dis
grace and shame affixed upon the
previously bright and unsullied
escutcheon, of the State in which
he lived and whose name was
dearer to his heart than that of
his own. But the machinery wiiich
governed the movements and co-*
vered up the baseness, aud ras
cality trausacted iu that office
had its position iu the State
House of Louisiana and Custom
House of the United States iu
New Orleans, and js now*, in a
great measure, removed and hid
away trom the searching eyes of
those whose duty it is to expose
to the view of an unprejudiced
world the enormity ot the crimes
and the dark transactions of those
marauders aud despoilers.
It is not proposed, in this
sketch to lay before the reader,
more than a general syuopsis of
the office iu question as brought
to view from inspection of such
documents as can be obtained,
aud from the notorious conduct
ot the Tax Collector iu certain
transactions that could not be con
cealed trom the public eye. in the
subterranean recess in which the
greater part of the corruptions of
his office were, or were supposed
to sealed.
The success of the Radical Par
ty, obtained by the magnificent
count of the Board of Returning
scoundrels, supported and up
held by the Bayonets of the sol
diers of the United States would
have been an adequate covering,
placed over this den of pillage
ind plunder to have entombfed
its dark deeds in .a cloud of iufa
my, impenetrable to any honest
eye, and everything in 1877,
would have moved onward smooth
ly and joyfully to Crosier the Tax
Collector, and to Packard, Brown
& others whose suppliant tool be
was, aud has been for years, as
bad been the case for years gone
by. Bijt, the whole conception of
those plunderers met with a
storm for which they were not
prepared ; the filmy' structure iu
which.they had ensconced themsel
ves, fondly imagining that they
werejsecure from all exposure,was
scattered to the '.four winds wheu
they suddenly found themselves
defenceless helpless aud caught
in, the very depths of their nefa
rious transactions; Like the Os
trich, they bad hidden their heads
under their own wings aud fool
ishly supposed themselves out of
harm's way.
Many years have passed away
into oblivion, and mauy changes
have occured in this world since
it was written that
"The way of the trangressor is hard"
but tbe saying is none the less
true now, as Crosier and his com
pauions are learning.
Previous to the year 1875 the
Tax Collector was allowed to re
ceive iu payment of Parish Taxes,
Parish warrants of any date at
par. This was apparently an equi
table system but in .practise, it
proved beneficial only to a ring
of speculators of which the Tax
Collector was the chief. Whilst
he was authorised by law to re
ceive warrauts in payment of
taxes he was not given authority
to usurp the duties of the Parish
Treasurer aud use the money
paid into his hands by taxpayers,
to purchase wairauts at a dis
count aful transfer them into the
Treasury iu lieu of the currency
so used. But this was the course
pursued by the Tax Collector, so
that the Treasurer did not re
ceive actual currency sufficient
to pay him his commissions as
.Treasurer, although it was noto
rious that notone fourth ot the
taxes was paid in warrauts.
The uatural consequence of
this course of policy, carried out
illegally by the Collector 'was
that there were never any funds
in the Treasury for which reason
the Parish authorities were coin
peled to pay from oae to three
hundred per cent more for any
thing which they were required
to have done, than would have
been necessary had there been
cash topav for it. The Police Ju
ry therefore wisely determined in
in 1875 to put a stop to such
transactions, to confine the busi
ness of the Tax Collector to the
collections of taxes and transfer
ing the same to the Parish Trea
surer, whose duties where defined
by law as to the proper aud just
distribution of the taxes. This
raised a howl in the office ofilie
TaxColleetorthat would have done
honor to a hungry wolf in a dark
forest,aud loud threats were made
that the Collector would not obey
the law, butjat lengt h,that officer
began to pay in monthly his col
lections although it was like
drawing eye teeth to him.
—The Indian war still conti
nues on the Western plains. Sit
ting Bull and Joseph are hard
customers to nittuage.
—If Postmasters General Key,
had learned that men who keep
their mouths shut are not discov
ered to be tools, it would have
been a useful lesson.
.—There has been another
battle fought between the Turks
and Russians iu which the Rus
sians have manifestly held their
own. It looks like the Turks are
not able to drive their enemies
across the Danube although they
thrashed them so terribly a few
weeks ago.
—A great deal of discussion
has been had iu the papers of
Louisiana iu regard to a convens
tion to form a new. Constitution
for this State.
Great improvements could be
made and many wise alternations,
if they would be made.
The press is almost unanimous
in favor of conveutiou
—Gen. O, O. Howard has been
after Joseph, the big itidian of
the West tor a long time. Howard
loves to be called the christiau
soldier. He organised the Freed
man's Bank and when the poor
negroes deposited the money they
had earned by hard labor and
toil in bis banks he stole it all or
Nearly so. Now let the govern*
ment convert Joseph into a Freed
man's Bank and Howard will
take him out of the cold in less
than a week.
Confederate Flag. — The
Shreveport fLa.) Times says: "Du
ring our civil war the several so
ceded States used their State
flags. In March, 1861, the Coufe
derate Congress adopted the so
called 'star aud bar, , composed"of
three horizontal bars of equal
width, tbe middle one white, with
a blue union containiugnine white
stars arranged in a circle. The
resemblance ot this to the 'stars
and stripes,' led to contusion and
mistakes in the field ; and in Sep
tember, 1861, a battle flag was
adopted, a red field charged with
a blue saltier, with a narrow bor
der of white, on which were dis
played thirteen white stars. In
1863 the 'stars and bars' were sup
planted by a flag with a white
field, having the battle flag for
uniou. The flag of 1863 was found
deficient in service, it being liable
to' be taken for a flag of truce
and on February 4, 1865, tbe
outer half of the field beyond the
union was covered with a verti
cal red bar. This was the last flag
of the Confederacy."
Recovering. —We are glad to
learn that young Mr. Gourdain
the son of lhe late Capt. J. K
Gourdain, of New Orleans, who
was recently severely wounded
in tbe left lung by a Smith '&
Wesson pistol ball tired by young
Mr. Gnardemal, of St. Martins
ville, at a ball in Fausse Pointe
is pronounced out of danger bv
his physician. The difficulty be
gan in the ball-room, aud as we
learn, as follows; Guardemal was
making a noise, to which Gour
dain remoustrated. The former
used insulting words, when Gour
dain struck him. They were sejts
erated ; left the house when Gour
dain sent word to Guardemal that
if he wanted satisfaction he could
call upon him the uext day and
obtain it. To this Gnardemal
used other insulting words, when
Gourdain again struck him.
young man named Tertrou then
pushed Gourdain down, aud as
he was risiug Gnardemal drew
his pistol and commenced tiring.
The first ball struck Gourdain
but the five others fired missed
their aim.' Meantime, Gourdain
had drawn his pistol, wounded
as he was, and blindly fired five
shots when he fell back faintiug,
These shooting scrapes at balls
are entirely too common, and we
hojte that our autnorities wil
take immediate steps to execute
the law against carrying conceal
ed weapons. We have laws now
and a government to see them
executed, and that is sufficient
protection. It is a barbarous c.us*
tom, and we want to see it made
_
odious in the eyes of all Jrespecta
ble people. Just think of yonno
j men going to balls with pistols in
I their pockets! Onr society must
j be as bad as that of Mexico to
j require that. Shame! shame !—

—Iu Ohio a Governor will be
elected iu October. The Demo
crats are running Mr. Bishop of
Cincinnati and the Republicans
are supporting a man by the
name of West. It is not likely
that enough voters will go West
to save the Republicans from de
feat.
—Tbe Vermillion Banner is a
year old and feels glad about it.
It is a good newspaper, keeps its
readers posted about matters and
things, save when it attempts to
prove that re-opening of Bayou
Plaqueiniue would be a national
blessing.
Let Bayou Plaquemine alone
friend Banner , and be happy—
very happy.
— In a paper calling itselt Na
tion Teachers Monthly , printed at
Chicago, Illinois, the following
sentence is printed on the sub
ject of "Tramps."
VVe shall never have less of them, until
we have less iu ignorance idiocy, insanity
aud wickedness that produces them ; but
to-day we are culturing, to a certaiu extent,
every where, especially at the South, and
in our cities, all of these pestiferous ele
ments."
Considering that there are but
few, if auy, genuine tramps in
the South, considering that, at
the time the above article was
written and printed, nearly every
man in the whole south was
at work, attending to his busi
ness, when the tramps were burn
ing Pittsburg and rousing one
bait of the North to aims to save
their property trom destruction,
one cannot decide whether the
author of such stuff is a con
temptible fool or consummate ass,
perhaps he will bear both desig
nations.
—Gen. Forrest, the famous
Confederate Calvalry General is
now lying seriously ill at Baily
Springs Alabama.
—Col, W. W. Pugh reports
that a son of Raymond Kuigbt
of Lock port died at Hymel's
plantation in Assumption on
Thursday,
—A splendid surprise party has
been given at Mr. H. Tabor's ou
Wednesday uight.
—Bngliam Yonng the great
Mormon leader, died on Thurs
day at 4 P. M.
His death will probably mark
the era which Mortnonism will
date its permanent decline and
downfall.
—Admiral Raphael Semmes,
the heroic sailor of the Confede
rate Army, died at Poiut Clear
oil Thursday morning.
During the late war he was ter
ror of theFederal Navy, aud com
manded'severaljvessels with which
he had successfully run the block
ade. He was jfinally captured on
tbe Alabama by* the federal gun
boat Searsage, iu the English wa
ters, which ended his career as
a soldier. Since the war he has
resided iu Mobile.
He was the father of Capt.
Semmes who was once stationed
in this town, as a Captain of Ar
tillery.
A Result of Obstructed Discs*
tion.
Among the hurtful consequences of ob
structed digestion, is the impoverishment
of tbe blood, and since a deteriative condi
tion of the vital fluid not only produces
dangerous organic weadness, but, accord
ing to the best medical authorities, some
times causes asphyxia, it is apparent that
to improve tbe quality of tbe blood by pro
moting digestion and assimilation, is a wise
precaution. Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters is
precisely the remedy for this purpose
since it stimulates the gastric juices, oon
quors those bilious and evaeuative irregu
larities which interfere with the digestive
E rot-esses, promotes assiuiilutien of the food
,V the blood, and'purifies as well as en
riches it. The signs of improvement in
health in coustqncncc of using the Bitters
are spcedly apparent in an acceseiou of vi
gor. a gain in bodily substance, and a regu
lar and active pcrtorxuance of every physi
cal function.
