WEST ENDHEs.

HAVANA, May 27--Haytien dates of the 18Th
state that the rebel attack on the capitaI on
the 14th was repused. All the citizens baya
been ordered under arms. Sanave attacked
the rebels on the 10th, but was beaten back in
to the city with a loss of 80 men. The general
attack on Port au Prince was renewed on the
afternoon of the 18th, but the result was un-
known when the mail left. Salnave threatens
to burn the capital to the ground if the rebels
beat him, but the American Minister is deter
mined to prevent him if possible. The British
gunboat Royalst had got ashore at Port au
Prince. After her commander had effected
the release of the imprisoned foreigners, she
steamed to the outer harbor where she got
aground. The U. S. man-of-war De Soto ar
rived on the 18th, but she was short of pro-
visions and proceeded the next day to Key
West, despite of the protestation of the Amer
lean Minister, who had promised to secure the
lives of all Americans and those who had ia
Ken refuge in the Legation.

The Morning Post thinks the Radicals Them

HOW THE DEMOCRACY WANT PEACE.

Upon the proposition of the Republican
party for measures of mutual Cancellation
and harmony in the interests of peace and
order, tho Times of yesterday throws cold
water. The Bee having counseled the &C.
ceptance of the proposal, the Tine, says in
reply:
We think this is yielding q little too
much. Save for the preservation of public
peace We are utterly aVerse to terms with
our oppressors. They have no claim on US
to meet them in so generous spirit of con-
ciliation. Their principles and ours are es-
sentially antagonistic.
And it proceeds to express its belief that
the proposition Of the Republicans was
dictated by fear and "a popular upheaval
that threatens destruction to their party"
The popular upheaval is in the opposite
direction; and the Republicans, feeling
strong and confident of great political
victory on the third of November, can
afford to be generous. They want peace;
buff it can not be secured, let the country
know where the responsibility of its failure
rests.
The Democracy, we are told, want peace.
Let their acts show what they want.

THE LOTTERY BILL,

Some disposition is evident to oensure
Governor Warmoth for his non-action in
reference to the lottery bill.
The Times of yesterday is, Of curse,
blatant in its denunciation OF his course.
This fact is strong evidence of the correct
ness of his position.
The House Of Representatives passed the
bill with only three dissenting votes. The
Senate concurred With the SAM number
dissenting.
The Governor was strongly opposed to
the passage of the bill, considering, aside
from general reasons, that it embodied
some particularly Objectionable features.
However, it was ascertained satisfaetoril y
that veto would affect not at all the flnal
consummation of the project, and the
Governor, pressed by the solicitation
of large number of the mem
bers of both Houses, irrespective of
party, arrived at the conclusion that it
would be unwise to actively array himself
again aud pointedly, as against the deter
mination of the General Assembly.
He therefore allowed the bill to become
law by lapse of time.
While disappearing the entire scheme Of
lotteries and their kind, we are constrained
to believe that Governor Warmoth acted
wisely in the premises.

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE OLD TORIES OF



1t long since passed into proVerb that
extremes meet. The latest illustration OF
the truism is afforded in the proposition OF
the Democracy to force the colored Repub-
licans OF the South to vote for Seymour
and Blair or siarve. Protesting, originally,
extreme views of liberty, this Democratic
party has boxed the entire compass, and
has now planted itself upon the cardinal
measure of the old Tories of Great Brit
ain, who have long maintained the struggle
against the advancing progress Of liberal
ism in that country by compelling their
dependents to vote for them under the
penalty of being thrown out of employ
ment-a terrible alternative in England
and consequently of actual starvation.
We congratulate the Democracy of the
South upon the inception and PRONUNCIATION
of this truly magnanimous, chivalrous, and
peculiarly Democratic idea. Nothing
could be more characteristic of the party.
How it does advance-backward To what
sublime heights Of American liberality
1t has at length risen. It's justice keeps
pace with lis loyalty.

AUDITOR OFFICE !
New Orleans, August 9, lS68
So many complaints having been made to this
office of injustice done to taxpayers BY State Asses
sors in different parishes, hereby notify all State
Tax Assessors that the law requires them to notify
taxpayers as follows:
The Assessors and Board Of Assessors shall i'm.
mediately give notice BY Advertisements posted in
at least two public places in each parish or district
that they have lodged their assessment roll with the
Recorder, Justice of the Peace, or Parish Recorder
as the case may be. in order that any person ag.
greved by such asses ment may appeal, and have the
same corrected if found incorrect" tSee Revised
Statutes of 1866, 1856 p. 4s1, So
also notify all taxpayers that the law makes full
provisions for the correction Of all errors of Asses
sors as follows
Section 81. Any person oonceving himself az
grieved by any assessment may. within thirty days
after it shall have been delivered and advertised,
as required in the preceding section, make
an appeal in writing, stating particularly the
correction desired; on proof Of the fact the
Recorder Justice, Parish Recorder shall
have fHll power and uhority to correct errors but
ne shall in reduce the amount of any
ment without first notifying the Assessor Of his par
sh or district Of such claim and it shall be the duty
o. such Assessor, before the expiration Of the time

pcation, and confer with ouch Recorder or Justice
on the correctness Of the claim. If any omissions

lie time and opportunity TO have their assessment
corrected; and now warn all taxpayers to avail
themselves of this provision of the law as shall not
hereafter under any circumstances, interfere with
the assessment rolls Of any parish

ORGANIZED

In every State of the Union, except our
own, the note Of preparation is heard for
the approaching campaign in next NoVem-
Der. The issues of this contest are not
second to those which have been involved
in every conflict between the forces of
Slavery and Freedom since the first gun
fred upon Sumter, and resounding like a
bugle blast throughout the loyal North,
aroused her sons to the dangers which
threatened the life of the Republic. In
fact they are much the same, and the Re-
publicans of Louisiana should see to it
at once that no uncertain voice records
their verdict when the ides of November
come.
The true secret Of success, in politics as
in war, is in organization. When the hour
of conflict comes let us be prepared to
move at once upon the works Of the enc
my, and victory will be ours as surely as it
was in the dark days Of Donelson, when
our glorious standard bearer
Sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call
retreat"
The proper committee Of our party should
lose no time in perfecting its organ
ization throughout the State, and in
the Inauguration of an active, vigorous
campaign. Our enemies are active, well
organized, and display great spirit If we
desire to insure success we must work
without faintiDg until the victory is won.
Then let the Assembly be sounded,
and the hosts Of Republicanism promptly
