Collection of Taxes.

Commenting upon an article in the
Republican advocating the passage of a
law to provide for a summary collection of
taxes, the Homer Had says:
No man can justify everything that is
being done in the way of appropriation and
expenditure by the Republican party of
this State; but then the ''airs" assumed in
regard to the matter by certain strifi =
breeding agitators in our midst can not be
viewed with other feelings than of contempt.
Human creatures" who carry in their
pockets a stay on life, in the way of a pa
role Of honor to ego home and obey the
laws where they live" are now openly ad-
vising the resistance OF law in the T.
fusal to pay taxes! They forfeit their
honor when they do thi1-if they ever had
any to tolf felt --8nd subject them,elves to
the just aud instant vengeance of an out
ragged Government, which can well tfford
to be mercihl, but which pethlps has
been even too lenient and merciiul, in that
1t has least pearl before the swine" too long
aud too persistently. Nor i the plea that
taxes are high and oppres i've any just ex-
cuse for the Infamous conduct Of these
charact ars-all the extra burdens of the
lind have been instigated aud brought
about by their own misdeeds. Disprove
who dare!

GRANTS FAREWELL ADDRESS
TO HIS ARMY.

The general order of General Grant, ad-
dressed to the soldiers of the United States
when the war was over, will now be read
with interest. Here it is:
SOLDIERS OF THE ARMIES OF THE UNITED
STATEs-By your patriotic devotion 20 your
country in the hour of danger and alarm,
your magnificent fighting, bravery and en-
durance, you nave maintained the supreme
ey Of the Union and the Constitution,
overthrow all armed opposition to the
enforcement of the laws and the proclama.
ton forever abolishing slavery-the cause
and pretext of the rebellion-and opened
the way to the rightful authorities to restore
order and i~naugurate peace on q permanent
and enduring basis on every foot of Ameri-
can soil. Your marches, sieges and battles,
in distance, duration, resolution and bril-
lianey of results, dim the luster of the
worlds past military achievements, and
will be the patriots precedent in defense of
1;bar. and right In all time to come. In
nbed;snce TO 1,our eouptry's call, you left
your homes and families, and volunteered
IN her defense. Victory has crowned your
Valor. and secured the purpose OF your
nstriotic hearts; and with the gratitude Of
your1countrymen, and the highest honors q
great ana free nation can accord; YOU VIII
soon be permitted to return to your homes
and families, conscious of having dischafg-
ed the highest duty Of American citizens.
To achieve these glorious triumphs, and
secure to yourself, fellow-countrymen, and
posterity, the blessings of free institutions,
tens of thousands of your gallant comrades
have fallen, and sealed the priceless legacy
with their blood. The graves Of these a
grateful nation bedews with tears, hoDors
their memories, and will ever cherish M
support their stricken families"

EOURTM DIsTRIcT ooNeREssION-
IA Al CONVENTION.


The Fourth District Republican Con
vention was held at Alexandria on the
third instant. 1t was organized by the
choice of Judge JIG. Barlow as President
and Alphonse Baillio as Secretary.
A Committee on Credentials was ap-
pointed who reported the delegates
present.
Nominations for candidates for represen-
tltive in Congress being in order, N. P.
Blackstone, of Natchitoches, nominated
Mr.. James Cromier, OF that parish; and
James Madison, Of Rapides, nominated J.
P. Newsham, of West Feliciana.
The roll was called, and each delegate as
his name was called named the candidate
for whom he voted. James Cromier re-
ceived four votes, J. P. Newsham received
fifteen.
The President declared Hon. j.. P. New
sham the choice of the convention. Mr..
Blackstone moved that the nomination be
made unanimous, which motion prevailed.
Mr.. D. A. Weber, of West Feliciana,
then offered the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That we heartily indorse and
concur in the glorious principles of the
platform adopted by the National Repub-
lican Convention at Chicago, and pledge
our best energies in the triumph of these
principles, by contributing our full quota
to the victory that will be achieved in the
election of Ulysses S. Grant and Schuyler
Colfax as President and Vice-President of
the United States.
RsSolred, That we recognize with heart
felt and ever-increasing admiration the uu-
faltering fidelity to principle and fearless
discharge of duty on the part of the General
Assembly of Louisiana, and rejoice that
they show no signs of backward footsteps,
but give u~nmistakable assurance that the
peace and dignity of the State will be up
held and loyal men protected.
RESOLVED, That in presenting the name of
the Hon. J. p. Newsham, the gallant SOL
der and faithful legislator. for Congress 10
the Fourth District, We designate the right
man for the right place, and while pledg-
ing him our warmest support we invoke
the cooperation of the Radical Republican
voters Of the district in securing his election.
RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolu-
lions be transmitted to each loyal paper in
the Fourth District.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
Hon. Harry Lott, Of Rapides, was chosen
as the Republican candidate for Presiden-
tial Elector in the Fourth Congressional
District, Mr.. Cornelius Donate being no
longer a resident OF that district.
After three cheers Tor Grant and Colfax,
the Convention adjourned.

ORGANIZE


Without organization there is no hope OF
success for the Republicans Of Louisiana
Our opponents are united and determined
drilled with military precision. They VIII
be able to get their entire force to the
polls. 1t behooves us to meet them there
in this battle of the ballot, organized
equally as we'll.
In each Congressional District there is,
we understand, a campaign committee.
They should send men into each parish,
not so much for the purpose of speaking
as to form and instruct clubs. We have in
our party any number of eloquent, ready
orators, but how many men who are pre-
pared TO do the hard work of enrolling?
Let the canvas of voters progress; not
only ascertain where each man lives but
watch and see that he registers, and then
on election day check the voters of each
poll, and if there are any missing go after
them.
Uniting vigilance and fearless energy
will give us success.

the Legislature, but it does not therefore
follow that the man who opened a theater,
runs a Steamboat, or builds a church is
bonnd to admit them there. His action
can be ruled only by his instincts of self
interest and his>peculiar tastes. The COM
mon sense of the colored men of Louisiana
10 the Legislature will ultimately bring
them to the same conclusion. They are
angered and heated now, but Governor
Warmoth's veto will make them pause and
more fully understand that no law maker,
except under an iron despotism, dares to
establish a social equality between different
races.
The New York Sun says:
Governor Warmoth's veto Of the bill re-
Gently passed by the Louisiana Legislature,
compelling white people to recognize the
social equality of the negro in hotels, steam
boats, and other public places, is a manly
and sensible document. As he justly says,
We can not hope by legislation to control
the question of personal association, or
force others to adopt this OF that view of
what courtesy and Christianity demand.
So long as negroes are protected in their
civil and political rights, they must be
SOhpCht " lCI buC HhCrblOh VI 'ASi eOCldl
position abide the opinion Of the community
in which they live.
The Republican press of the South are
expressing their opinions on the same
subject. The Mississippi Pilot, published
at Jackson, says: ,
Governor Warmoth's message, vetoing
the civil rights bill' passed by the Louisi-
ala Legislature, is q bold, independent and
statesmanlike paper. That he is entirely
right in his conclusions in regard to there
''being no necessity for such legislation"
and that it is impolitic 10 pass such laws,
particularly in times of great public
excitement, we think every fair-minded
man, white or black, must acknowledge.
Of course the rebel press of New Orleans
will give his carpet-bag excellency no
credit for his timely interference by veto,
of such mischievous legislation. But we
presume he can spare their smiles of ap-
probation, as he has heretofore dispensed
with their very, gracious counsel. We
honor the Governor for bis pluck in fight
ing the capricious factions OF his own
party with one hand, and holding the
rebel hord at bay with the other.

ooLFAx AND BLAIR IN INDIANA.

If we knew nothing else of the progress
of the campaign in the Hoosier State than
the mere fact that the two candidates for
Vice President had spoken there, we would
be assured of a Republican victory. Blair
was at indianapolis, where he spoke from
his manuscript. A more foolish. bigoted
address man never made. The whole bur-
den Of his talk was mil cagena i'm, Ie5ro
equality and Radical indeeency. The COM
position was evidence only Of the utter de-
moralization OF its author. At no time did
be seek to rise above an effort to arouse
the prejudices and passions of his hearers.
The speech was a worthy supplement to
the insane, raviBg and yet threatening
Brodhead letter.
Schuyler Colfax spoke at Lafayette, In
diana, a few days later. In a most chaste
and elegant speech he addressed the reason
of the people who have delighted to honor
b N. Hear his plea for peace:
If There is a country in the world that
wants peace, it is this American Republic.
We have passed through a severe struggle
for national existence. No land ever was
required to make such sacrifices as ours.
We had to heap up golden and living
treasures upon our country's altar; the
noblest and best went forth to prove their
devotion to the flag of our fathers. Now,
in the language of our leader, let US have
peace. We want no more taxes; no more
drafts; no more carnage, and bloodshed,
and desolation. No; no. When we re-
feet hat this rebellion is only to be T ,
membered in broken hearts, numberless
graves, and enormous debt, we can all say
we want no more war, but we want loyalty
to be triumphant, and we want peace
through justice, liberty, nationality, and
security 10 all.

OuERY.

Somebody in the REPUBLICAN Office, it
seems, is anxious to lose a thousand dollars
betting on the result of the election in
Pennsylvania on Tuesday next.-Bdletin.
Why don't you take the bet?
Perhaps you are "morally opposed TO
betting" We saw at least fifty Democrats
yesterday gazing ruefully at our bulletin
board, and severally declaring that they
would take the bet but for the fact that
they were morally opposed to betting"
The amount of conscientiousness extant
in the Democracy of New Orleans on this
subject is surprising and lovely. +
