OUR FINANCIAL POLICY.

To-day the State Of Louisiana is bur
dened with floating debt of about $2,5OO,-
O00, made up of State notes, State Taffaflts'
and matured coupons Of bonds.
She is in honor bound to pay this debt.
How shall she pay it
There is no money in the State treasury,
and the current receipts from taxes during
the remainder of the year will not pay the
ordinary expenses of the new State. To
meet those expenses, to oprovide for regis
tration, to establish and equip necessary
militia, to patch even the dangerous points
in our levees, to make sure beyond con-
tingency that no day under the present ad-
ministration shall ever see a coupon fall
due without the means to pay it, we are
forced to negotiate loan.
A bill was to-day introduced in the
House by the Committee OF Ways and
Means providing for loan of $4,000, 900
payable in forty years, with semi-annua1
interest at six per cent, principal anC
interest payable IN gold.
1t is provided that each year the Audi
tor shall on receipt Of the assessment rolls
calculathe the amount of funds needed tC
pay the interest on these bonds, and pro
vide sinking fund of fifty thousand dol
lars; that there be levied by the act an an
nual tax of that amount, and he shall so
lavu n ond diraot its ooIloo+;on .baI r,L,,.
collected and paid into the treasury it shall
go to the credit of special fund for the
purposes of interest paying, and redemp-
ton, and be sacred to such purposes.
This is in brief the character Of the
bonds, and we believe they will be strong
on the market.
The question now recurs: What shall be
done with the floating debt?
To pay it will require, in addition to the
above mentioned loan, a special tde of one
per cent on all property, movable and i'm.
movable, in the State-a tax of S2,.
100000.
We firmly believe that our people are in
no condition to pay such tax.
Frustrated by an exhausting war;
changed as to all their conditions by the
abrogation of slavery; thrust down to the
depths of dependency by successive and
disastrous failures of their crops, how can
they meet this new and sudden burden?
In the hands of not more than twenty
men are the great bulk of these matured
obligations we are asked to discharge.
They are earnest in their advocacy of a
taxation which shall yield to them bro
ker's profit of forty or fifty per cent. They
say the people" ,cish this obligation wiped
out at once.
We do not believe it.
Let successive years share the burden of
this debt. We are advocates of a funding
process, which shall give in place of the
floating debt bonds of the character de.
By this course our creditors are satisfied.
our honor is preserved, and our people are
saved from an oppression, we firmly be-
lieve, they could with difficulty sustain.

HOW Is THIS 2

New York correspondent of the ores-
cent writes that the roughs of that city bave
lately pitched into the police, and that two
or three have been killed and others
wounded. He says that vigilance COM
mittee is talked of, and that "a paper was
actually put into circulation looking to
that end" What, vigilance committee in
that intensely Democratic city, the strong
hold of Seymour's friends! ~ Is that the
kind Of law and order the reign of the
Seymour Democracy is to bring upon us
is that the protection we are all to enjoy
under their peculiar auspices? By their
fruits ye shall know them.
The very term democracy calls MP
visions of lawlessness and outrage. Let
Seymour triumph in the next election, and
the country would become pandemonium.
Fortunately, there is no danger Of such a
result.

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING TONIGHT,

1t seems that the Democratic negro Rol-
Inns has advertised to speak tonight in
Lafayette square. Now, while we fully
recognize the right of Rollins, or any other
Democrat, to make himself as ridiculous
and contemplate as he chooses, we hope
no Republican will participate in the alb
surd performance. This is to be Demo
cratic meeting" and Republicans ought
not to cOuntenance it by their presence,
but if any shall be drawn to the square by
curiosity let them remember that it sis not
their funeral, y and abstain from all express
sicns of disapprobation.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE FOR GRANT AND

We take the following from a Utica let
ter to the Chicago Tribune:
Judge Underwood, of Virginia, who is
here in Utica to attend the commen cement
of Hamilton College, of which Horatio Sew.

and himself are graduates, says that he has
seen Chief Justice Chase since the Demo-
cratlc nominations were made. Judge On.

to him. Mr.. Chase expresses himself as a
supporter of Grant and ColfaX. He states
that the Democrats treated him with treach.

tlon at New York as foregone matter. but
asking the cooperation in little photographic
points Of platform, so that they might har-
monlZe IN convention, and not estranpe the
great minority of Western or Brick Pome-
roy Democrats. Leading him SO from
admission to admission, they magnifed and
exaggerated his relinquishments with the
intention of bringing his friends over to
their nominee, while they should cast him.
self aside. The Chief Justice claims that
the only interest he had in the Democratic
nomination was to secure the permanence
OF universal suffrage by assisting the Demo.
cratic party to acknowledge it. With the
minority party moved up in charity nearly
to the position of the majority, Mr.. Chase
believed that the suffrage could never be
again assailed by either. He seems to have
a 0ellyful # Democratic professions, partic-
ularly of his kind that New York politicians
give and in this campaign, going back to
his cardinal humanities, has concluded to
nate his last enemies the most.
Knowing the strength whi,h Judge
Chase's name brings to any cause the Sc
cessionists were extremely desirous of Sc
curing his cooperation in their schemes,
and they laid their plans with their usual
adroitness and cunning. They have miser-
ably failed, as the above paragraph shows.
