TO THE PUBLIC.

l. The Caddo Gazette in its last issue, for reason
unaccountabe me, under the pretext of bringing
the public eye certain abuses that exist in the city, has
seen fit to make personal attack me, both IN my
private md public capacity. The object of this com
munication is to notice these uncaed for and I'M
generous reflections, because such things not be
settled by newspaper controversies; but it is made
simply and purely to defend my public capacity-to
set myself right before the public
The articles referred to in the Gazette sense
less as they are mean What law makes it the duty of
the Mayor collect, have ythng do with the
collection of taxes? Why is the "Controller power
less?" Has he not with the City Attorney, all the
remedies of the law at hand If the coffee-house
keepers refuse, by legal advice pay $3.50 licenses
does the law not plainly point out the duty of the Con-
troer? If billiard tables do yield their taxes, has
he not the remedy? How, then, is the Controller
perfectly poweress, the Doctor would lead US to
believe? And by the same token" not the duties
of the Chief Of Police plainly pointed out? Whose
duty to prevent the indecent practices spoken of
in said srtces Is there any ordinance requiring the
Mayor to act special detective police officer?
And the Gazette wants to know why the change notes
are not called in BY special taxation? In the of
God. the people in any condition to stand addition
al taxation, when everything groans under its
cuse The fact is the aforesaid articles altogeth
er senseess, and above all, come at very inoppor
tune and unfortunate period of citys existence,
when every exerton is being used by the good citizens
to build up its credit and the effect of such articles,
dictated by bad though they be- but act most
preudically to the interests of our city abroad.
In reference the Doctors fevers can only say,
that Mayor might probably have sent the city ply
stefan attend him, and special police to that no
unsual noise should be made in his part of the city
but if can be excused fur this ofense, will promise
to do better in future.
Please pardon me, Mr.. Editor, for this intrusion in
your columns, with the promise not to repeat the dose
except under absolute necessity. Yours,
iel7It ---- NJ. TALLY.

To South Western;
Allow to reply to kind friends editorial of the
Caddo Gazette, consuming parties for not paying city
taxes, and making saloons specially. agree with
him. that all should be made to pay their taxes and
Say before they allowed to open house of any
kind of trade have been prepared to pay at any
ment, only wishing to be convinced that they were
making legal collection, " if not just one and had
paid the amount the State collected instead Of, few
DAYS and only put of paying the balance, uniustly
collected by the corporation to post myself in the law
regarding corporation collecting more tax than the
State something allowed only by the State of Louis
ana so far as can find all other States not allowing
corporation taxes to exceed that of State. Not wish
ing to impair my credit with newspaper editorials,
have made the balance sl5o payment and have more
to meet all other it is to be hoped more
lust make the request that Dir. Newspaper and the
CITY authorities make all pay up, as it will be benefit
to myself by taking of circulation their worthless
ssue-though still taking it in exchange, think
ing that he will soon be round for more tax (snd to &c
eommodate the people)
Wish by the way to thank our friend for his l'oer
aity in wishing sustain two or three good substan
tal saloons and billiard tables. and shall endeavor TO
keep house fully equal in responsibility, liquors and
billiard tables any in the place. hoping thereby TO
merit liberal share of patronage. These are the only
facts Iwish to place before Mr.. Caddo Gazette.

Another Democratic Rebel

A bill was introduced into the

day TO take from the Governor and

ry properly and transfer the same
to the control OF the Chairman OF
the House and Senate Committees
on Military Affairs. AT the same
time and in the same House was
introduced a bill to repeal. the act
which prohibits the carrying OF
concealed weapons.
We are not an. alarmist, but it
seems impossible to regard these
movements in any other light than
as the first step towards the inau-
.guration OF another Democratic
rebellion. In view Of the aspect oi
affairs at Washington, this attempt
to place the military power Of the
State in tho hands OF a couple OF
Democratic members of tho Legis-
lature, is nothing less than an at.
tempt TO place Ohio in rebellion
against the Government of the
United States, in case the United
States Senate in tho execution Of
its constitutional and rigbtful an
thority, should remove Andrew
Johnson from the Office which he
has disgraced. Wo should regard
this extraordinary movement af
startling and alarming, If it were
within the constitutional power OF
the Legislature to take from the
Governor, the Commander in
chief, and other executive officers
tho authority which belongs tc
them as such chief executive off
cers, and by an act, transfer thai
authority TO two members ol
their own Legislative body. The
idea is preposterous. But loya
men must bo on the alert. LIE
all friends of good Governmen
and order sound tho alarm. Thi
Legislature is it for "treason, STRAIT
