PETITION.
To Hi Honor, tho Nayor, and Common Council
ofthe Oity of Baton Rouge:


9fthe Gty Of Bato" Rouge:
The undersigned citizens (loyaD of the
city, beg leave most respectfully to repre-
sent: at your meeting begun and holder
on the 9th inst, you adopted an ordinance
touching the interests Of the Undersigned
and in common their fellow citizens gen
orally, which is alike onerous and unjust
as we'll az unconstitutional. Section hrst
says: ION every dog owned, kept or at
large within the city limits, there shall be,
and there is, hereby levied tax OF one
dollar per annum." We do not deny your
right to tax ali property, paraphernai,
hereditary, hebdomidal, real or personal,
but in the language of the Constitution,
the tax must be uniform. We beg you as
representatives. Of this sovereign people,
to keep in view the Constitution under
which the Union exists and is Affection
ately bound together, and we would re-
specially suggest the occasional reading
of this document in open Board, with the
"Declaration," now and then. Section 4ob,
Article 81, paragraph Is, expressly declares
taxation shall "be equal and uniform"
Are there not orders, species, classes and
varieties Do you mean to say that dogs
are eoual2 Shall the small pup and the
mother of a large family be compelled to
bear the same burden, of the animal who
requires more, takes larger space, is q
oafer, without visible means or local
habitation, and besides, barks all the time
The language of the Constitution is ex-
plicis and all commentators agree that it
means what it says. Bullftch and Blimby
agree and Strong and Story. Consult the
Attorney on the sub ject, and let him look
up the authorities. You will at once see
the propriety Of classifying, and modify
the tax to suit tho size and quality, if not
the color. Whilst your petitioners are re-
specially censorous, your petitioners can
also be just, and confess we are pleased to
zee that stamped muzzles" will be fur
nished, as well a. dog collars, by the
dozen (tin). In the matter of stamps, it
pains us to notice that warrants on the
Treasury for m oney not there), have been
issued, in violation of the Internal Rev
enue laws. Let every dog found with an
unstamped muzzle be killed and your Pc
titoners will ever pray, etc.
T. S.-Beware in muzzling all dogs,
that you do not interfere with the liberty
of speech and the freedom of the press.

Durant failing to accept the guber-
material honors which were thrust
upon him by Gen. Sheridan, the
latter dignitary has let fall the man
tie Of Gov. Wells upon the shoulders
of B. f. Flanders. Mr.. Flanders
unlike Mr.. Durant, accepted the
situation" and went in, "nor stood
upon the order Of his going" after
the issue of Especial Order No. 62"
from the commanding officer. Gov.
Wells however withstood the order
until notified by Gen. Sheridan that
if he did not abdicate, his forcible
ejectment would be the consequence.
Gov. Flanders took possession Of
the Office on Saturday morning last,
and entered upon its duties, without
any ceremony, stating that his efforts
should be, to the best Of his ability,
exerted for the public good. He
is Radical. man of ability, was
formerly Secretary of the Opelousas
Railroad and afterwards Treasury
Agent. He is said to be native Of
Connecticut, but has resided in New
Orleans for oyer twenty years. We
hope he may wear his honors "seem.
ingly," and not suffer them to be-
come engulfsd in sordid ambition
for the "emoluments" as others have
done who have illustriously preceded
him.

ODE BY GEO. D. PRENTICE, ESQ.
Hail true and glorious semblancs, hail
or him, tn noblest of our race
We seem, al lifting of thy veil,
To see again his living facet
To hear the stirring words once more,
hat iiae the stormgod's cadence pealed
With mightier power from shore to shore
Than thunders of the battle. teld.
Lol that calm, high, majestic look,
That binds cur gaze as by spe -
1t is the-same that erst while shook
The traitors on who souls IL fell
Oh that he were again in life!
To we've, as once, his wand Of power,
And scatter far The storms Of strife
That Ger our country darby lower!
Again, again, and yet again
He rolled back passions roaring tide
When the fierce souls of hostile men
Each others widest wrath defed.
Aiasl alas! dark storms at length
sweep DER our half wrecked ship Of State,
And there seem none with will and strength,
To save er from her awfu fate
But thou, majestic image, thou
Wilt In thy lofty place abide
And many a manly head will bow
Willis gazing on nations pride;
And while his haIlowed ashes lie
Var beneath old Asnland's sod,
One gaze at thee should san0tify
Cur hearts TO country and to God.
We look on thee, we look on thee,
Proud statue, glorious and sublime,
And yeas as if by magic fee
And leave us in his grand old time
Oh he was born to bless our race
AS az Is after ages roll
We see the image Of his face
Earth has no image of his SOUL
prord statuel if the nations life,
For which he toed through all his years,
Must vanish in our wicked strife
And leave but groaDs and blood and tears,
If ali to anarchy be given,
And ruin ali our land assail,
He'll turn away his eyes in heaven,
And DER thee We will cast thv v.ill

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.-At last
the public desire for an exhibit of
the condition of the First National
Bank is gratifed. The statement
published elsewhere in this issue of
the Times may not prove entirely
satisfactory, but it will enable de-
positors aud other sufferers by this
lamentable failure to approximately
estimate their final losses. The pros
pect is the reverse of encouraging,
and we heartily sympathize with the
victims.
The Receiver, Col. Case, it will be
seen, makes these developments by
authority of the Government.
a liberal division of the assets
gives the following result: What are
called "good" amount to S1,21O,S52
AZ; the doubtful" to $437,347 II,
and the unquali6edly dad" to
$GO0.82l 90. AS an offset to the
assets which may be realized upon,
there is a preferred Government
claim of $2l5,722 II, and $4,000
for redemption of the circulation, or
about four hundred thousand dollars,
while the single item individual
deposits" is in round numbers one
million dollars; owing to distant
banks" a quarter of a million, etc.
Developments which are yet to come
will, we fear, show that the city is a
pretty severe loser through its deal
ings with this defunct institution

Colonel Frank, by General Sickles, not to permit

reported to the War Department. the instructions
originally sent to General Sickles have been with

tactics of starvation was added to the strate-
gy of numbersi in conquering the South and
in this latter style of warfare, a soldier con-
summing the rations of an impoverished adj
versary was equal to one in the field. Their
troops dying with hunger and disease in
Confederate prisons were thus made to per-
form their allotted work in the overthrow
of the South, as did these who fell on the
heights of Spottsylvania, or in the swamps
of South Carolina.
We have no word of objection to offer to
the means used for our overthrow, but we
do protest against making the South re-
sponsible for the suffering which this
course entailed, and we hail with pleasure
the discussions which are surely but slowly
bringing to light revelations which fasten
these barbarties where they belong. The
black clouds of war will pass away, and the
sunlight of truth will yet reveal much
which is hidden.
