The Congressional term closed on the 18th of
April, but SO much business remained to be acted

Estera, Minister of Finances, has resigned his
atiice, and up to the last dates no appointment had
oeen made and no steps taken in the matter
Under the present financial difficulties of the
country, it seemed difficult to get any one willing
o assume the responsibilities of the office. A
senator in his seat remarked" When we have
finances, it will do to appoint minister. Whal
now do we want with one ?" Estera, the late
minister, has addressed a paper, on the subject o
the Treasury, to the President, which consists o
! II closely written pages. Aguirre, the Minister
of Justice, is the acting Minister of Finances, and
rs such, has suspended Senior Huic the First As

The railroad Assessment.

The Delta advocates, with great zeal, the pro-
posed plan Of assessing the real estate to make the
railroads leading into the city. 1t, however makes
the mistake of treating the assessment as tax
Such is not its character No point in law is bet.
ter settled than this. A tax is the money levied
for the support Of Government. This is the sense
in which it is used in the Constitution of 1916,
where it says that taxation shall be uniform.
The Constitution Of 1912 contains no such pro.
vision. But when the owner Of property is COM
PEELED to pay his proportion for any expense in
CURED in improving it, the law denominates the
amount thus raised an assessment. The PROPOSE
ton to raise money by this means does not differ
at oil from the ordinary mode of opening or paving
streets.
But if equality Of burdens is to be the prin-
ciple, then, we ask, why should the absentee
owner be exempt from the heavy personal taxes of
jury duty militia duty, witness duty, and all other
municipal exactions.
Two men own real estate here; one resides in
the city he is cited juror; he is ordered out
| as soldier he is called on witness he may
be elected to some municipal Office; his taxes on
his property just heavy as those of his next
proprietor. This last lives in Paris he pays his
money tax on his lot but the onerous and impor-
| tant tax Of personal service he escapes. This is
not just nor is it at all to our interest The Con.
stitution should be amended, and the Legislature
invested with the discretion to discriminate between
the resident and absentee. The Treaty Of Cession
with France guaranteed to the inhabitants as speedy
admission into the Union possible according to
the principles Of the Constitution. Yet in 1912,

lustrious General who has been truly described az
the most uniformly successful General of the age

to honor him for his glorious military services and
his noble personal qualities. In answer to many
inquiries as to the age Of Gen. Scott and the date
of his services, the Cincinnati Chronicle makes the
following statement:
Winfield Scott was born on the 18th of June
1855, and will, therefore, be 65 in June next

COTTON CROP OF 1S50.-Mr. H. B. Gwathmey
has addressed letter to the Mobile Advertiser,
dated April 81, 1851. His estimates of the crop
having been subjected to quite comment, he
thus reasserts his opinions:
" Circumstances, in a MANNER have compelled
me to give publicity to my views to the probable
extent of the crop of 1S50-and these were, up to
the time that frost occurred, in October last that
100000 to 100000 would probably be produced
and after the frost said that considered 250O0 DOC
would be near enough to the mark for all practical
purposes. This last estimate has never been
changed and never will be, but left to be tested by
the result"
After the result shall have tested all the estimates
of the season, 81 the people" who produce cotton
will be apt to find some interest in asceraining
from the estimate manufacturers, quickly as pos
sible, how much cotton they will be able to gin next
year. Mr.. Gwatbmey's opinions of this crop mus,
not have been fully considered in Europe at an early
period, the trade and buyers must have been cul-
pably slow to act on them. But, perhaps, there
was slight difference Of opinion there as we'll as
on this side

Remarkable facts relative to incendarism have

Ing to TWO Engine companies of Utica, who, during
the past eighteen months, have set fire TO more
than forty buildings, and destroyed more than
sioo,OO0 worth of property. 1t is said that their
conviction is certain. The most remarkable fea-
ture OF their conduct is that these crimes, some of
them punishable by death, have been committed
without any motive. The only reason assigned by
the parties is. that they wanted little fun and
frolic, and went on undetected until they acquired
