CLAIM THAT ALL EUROPE SHALL JOIN IN THE
SETTLEMENT OF THE AMERICAN QUESTION.
The Paris Courier thinks that all Europe has right
to ioin in the settlement of the Central American
question. After recapltula.ing the points of Mr.
Buchansn's Message it ssys:
"The difficulty concerning Central America must
not be left to be settled only between Engand and
the United States. The Clayton. Bulwer treaty is
henceforh an imperfect safeguard for the interests of
the commercial world that stratee ca point,eIposed
ss is to the lswless aggres,ions OF 6Ibustersn.
"France Russia, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain as
we'll as great Britain and the United States have to day
direct interest in settling the question Of Central
America on the basis of strict neutrality road
from one ocean TO the other. We are we'll aware
that the United States will invoke against this general
intervention the doctrine of Jefferson and Monroe,
which reject. the interference of Europe with the al
fairs of America; but may be allowed to declare
that the principle of politics and diplomacy. like other
things in the world, have progressed and We shall
not do wrong TO the illusrous Jefferson by affirming
that to day. after so many new facts accomplished no
would have been among the first to recognize that
the policy of the United States cannot remain mmovh

The rejection by the Honse of Delegates of the bill

In round figures, three millions This amount
would have been increased, could have succeeded
in obtaining complete returns But it is startling
enough as it is.
What think you of this, flremen of New Orleans
II you make money for yourselves, II the little
you do make is a source OF uneasiness to some of
those among us, who bear you no love- and il those
who ought to be the first to literally acknowledge
your services never do IL, save through the forced
payment of tax into city treasury-you at least
have the satisfaction OF knowing hotc tceH you per-
form your duty.
You have heard great deal said Of the amount
contributed by the Insurance Companies towards the
support of the fire contract. Let examine into
! this and see what are the facts Of the case.
All persons doing business in city lin addition
to the State tax) have to pay professional tax or
license, and capital income tax These taxes are
laid for the support Of government. They most be,
in order to conform to the State Constitution equal
and uniform Each citizen, association of citizens
contribute in accordance with their capital or income
and this is done in order that city be lighted an
efficient police maintained liberal system Of pub
lie schools supported, streets kept in order our
Fire Department paid, and many other matters pub
lie usefulness sustained. Now let see how much
those citizens who have associated
to transact the business OF insurance. contribute to
wards the general support OF our City Government
In making the comparison between the amount
earned from fire premiums, and the amount of taxel
paid, we must not lose sight OF the fact, that this il
the result OF but branch Of the business of an In
sarance Company. Very large amounts are earned
from marine, river and life risks. The taxation mus
therefore be viewed upon the whole amount of thi
business Of q company.

1t will thus be seen that the entire number OF per-
sons living in New Orleans, of all ages from eighteen
to sixty exempt from jury duty under the operation
of the Fremens exemption act is but fifteen hundred
aud nnetysix. This is on the face of the returns,
and exceeds the actual number. II ia no dsparage-
ment to the Department to assert that not
third of this number would be available for jury duty.
The Department Is composed mainly OF mechanics
and laboring men. These men make admirable fire.
nen-in fact they are our real firemen Injured to
hardship, labor and exposure-thelr brawny arms,
broad shoulders, and welldeveoped frames, per-
feetly at home at the brakes of an engine but take
from their shoulders the hod, from their hands the
spade the cotton-hook, their tools of trade and
throw them in Jury box, to listen to the legally mys-
titled testimony of witness, the deep logic and fin
ished rhetoric OF the lawyer, the learned book deci
sons of the Judge, inhaing for day the Blackstone
atmosphere OF court and you will but increase the
already burthensome duties of the Supreme Bench.
Many of these men join fire companies, and faith
fully perform all the onerous and selfsacrifcing du
ties of fremen in order to avoid jury duty for they
support themselves and their families entirely by the
product Of their daily labor. To be taken from this
to do jury duty-recsiving conpensdtiO-is 10 sub
ject their families TO want. They prefer to labor al
night on the brakes Of an engine, and devote the
hours OF the day to the occupation which ensures tG
them support.
Under the city ordinances young men from the
age Of eighteen and upwards are permitted to unit
| themfelves with our fire companies. At least one
fifth Of our active firemen are under t,1sntyone
These, OF course, are exempt from jury Duty.
The difficulty ESQ much complained OF in forming
juries in New Orleans exists not in the fact, that
small per centage of our citizens, available jurors
are made exempt from duty by their connection witt
the Fire Department. It proceeds from more impol
tant causes. Let our Legislature 90 TO the root Q
the evil, and apply the remedies. Let me enumerat
the more serious difficulties
