His Bible discourse yesterday stirred up
the people. When told that there arc in

Great Cry and Little Wool,

| great cutlery has been raised about the in
creased taxation to provide for interest on tn,
city bonds to be given to the Mobile, New Or
leans and Great Northern road during its con.
struction, and the owners of slaves and real
estate have especially been alarmed with exay.
| gerated statements of enormous and oppressive
taxation. What will be the amount of the in
creased tax ?
There is to be issued $500, 900 in bonds bear
ing = per cent interest at time of subscription.
like amount when the same amount of addi
tional subscription from individuals is obtained
and the last $4,000 when 60 miles of the road
is completed and running from New Orleans to
Mobile. Say that these amounts will be issued
yearly. We then have 100000 of interest to
provide for, until the road can make dividends.
Now, in the case of the Mobile road every
thing now taxable by law is assessed (see I'd
section of the law. In the Jackson and Opelou-
sas roads, the tax falls exclusively on the
owners of real estate and slaves. Suppose the
Council apportion $4,000 of this interest to
real estate, the value of real estate being "A
millions the question is proposed, if "A millions
must contribute SO, 600, what must each $500
contribute This, calculated by our arithmetic,
gives for answer cents and 1920 of a cent for
each 500 or 81 cents for each $1,000 And sup
posing that the whole 81 100000 were issued,
it would amount to II cents and go per 500.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, tax payer,
and think over the advantages to you and your
fellow citizens
Now, gentlemen of the Council, let us have no
more talking; submit this question to the people
Wehaye not forgotten that those ofyou, who were
in the last Council, voted for the exchange of
the tax or Communication in favor of the jackson
and 0pelousas roads, all in one nights session,
and suffered the tax payers to be genteelly
swindled out of 100000 by little progiso, that
authorized those other roads, after receiving the
full amount of the tax as originally levied, So
800 600 in new bonds, to hold the tax payers
liable for the special tax of 1858 All this was
effected by the pertinacity, boldness and astut-
ness of paid understrappers of these roads that |
now oppose the Mobile Railroad What will
the people say off, ou- gentlemen of the Council, |
if you suffer yourselves to be bamboozled again |
