REVOLUTION IN New 0RLEASs.-With-
in short time past, New Orleans has
been the scene OF tremendous excitement.
For number of years, murder and as
sassination have been carried on to an
alarming extent and this state of affairs
has been growing worse, until the life Of
any citizen was no longer safe, either by
day or night. The citizens rose up, form
ed Vigilance Committee, took posses
sion Of the Armory, and resolved to rid
the city Of the assassins. The Mayor
called out-the militia to put down the
Committee. and for several days there
was imminent danger of bloody battle.
One little skirmish did occur, in which
some four or FIVE persons were killed
The Mayor of the city was impeached,
and another person appointed in his place,
and number of head police officers were
removed.
1t was attempted t9 make aparty ques-
ton out Of the affair, but without effect.
A portion of the American party opposed
the Vigilance Committee, but most of the
leaders of the party belonged to the Com
mittee. During the excitement, the mu-
nicipal election came of, which resulted
in the election Of the American candidate
for Mayor. Quiet is again restored, but
the Vigilance Committee express their
determination to ACCOMPLISH their object.

of 1912, and our country is in about the
right kind of humor to repeat the lesson

England, just now, would be the best

know her place, and to produce better

Bill for the Relief of Delinqlet Tax-pay'

Mr. Dawes. Of Morgan, has intro luc
Ell a bill in the House having the above
object in view. which is OF such genera!
interest in its provisions as to justify a
particular notice at our hands.
The late financial crisis has affected
the collection Of taxes in some Of the best
counties of the State, to such a degree
that County Treasurers have urgently
recommended an ex ension of the time
within which a penalty shall be exacted
for non payment. Some ri the most re
liable capitalists and business men in
the State have been unable TO raise mon
ey to pay their taxes when due, and
some measure OF relief is imperatively
called for.
Inview of this state offacts, Mr.. Dawes
proposes in his bill an extension Of thirty
days in time, during which county treas
urers shall not distrain any goods or
chattels for ron payment of taxes due
the 10 h of January, nor charge any ad-
dilional per centum thereon. The bi
also provides that the Auditor of State
shall forward a certified copy of the act
to each county treasurer in the State,
Immediately on its passage, and Sus-
ppnds until the second Tuesday in March
