Our SENATOR REMOVED I'd Negro Substituted.-
We had already been notified by the telegraph of the
action Of the Senate in regard sterling old citi-
zen, Ruben White. But We republish the following
article from the New Orleans Times preference to
any notice of our own as we might naturally be sup
posed to be Influenced more Or less in our opinion as
to the outrage perpetated in his case by either our
personal or local preudices. We will only add, as
further comments that ouF people may see in the case
of our Senator what are the purposes and intentions Of
the Radical party in regard to the other officers elected
by them. Every form Of partisan prescription will be
used to accomplish that necessity of Radicalisn an
office, with fee salary, to insure the support OF an
agent, without regard to the wishes and at the ex
pense of the people: 49, 81
The parish Of Caddo has severely suffered at the
hands Of the Radicals in the General Assembly. We'd.
nesday the Senate declared vacant the seat of Reuben
White on grounds that were frivolous. Three men,
bers of the House OF Representatives elected by an
honest people from the parish, were expelled in
the early days of the session with little ceremony as
crowd adopt resolutions at anoPen mass meeting
Reuben White John n. Howell and Zach Howell are |
all men who represented the people Of gaddo, among
whom they had lived, honofed and respected, for 1
quarter Of century. They were ousted without pre-
text without any reasons that would stand of them
selves. Then, after denying the people who pay taxes
any representation the progressionss have the aldac-
ty to pass laws which would create an additional tax
alton of three per cent In the place Of these honor
able men and good citizens are persons who represent
lothng and have been declared entitled their seats

The New York Herald cites authority to prove that
all previous political revolutions in this country have
been inaugurated by the October elections that the
indications afforded by the results in Maine and Yer
mont have always proved erroneous and finally, that
the sentiment of the three great States, New York,
Pennsylvania and OHIO, have invariably decided the
issue of the Presidentialcampaisn.

MORE TAxEs.-According to the statement of the
New Orleans Republican, Of the 18th, the Radical
Rump in session intend to fill up our empty treas
ury. The BILL providing for one per cent tax to pay
the floating Indebtedness has passed both Houses the
Senate by amendment having RENTED those back
rations 6l, '62, 'G3, 1914. ~
That floating debt will be large, by the time the
legislature is through with its little appropriations to
help along scaawag, carpet-bagger Co., that are
surprised the Senate RENTED those late dues. That
body seems to entertain favorable opinion Of
the sovency of that respectable firm, than the people
generally do,
The same paper in tone Of official, organ grinding
insoence intimaes with evident gee that the egisla
ture is looking to the enactment of law providing
for the summary collection of taxes" and is much
pleased at the prospect of bringing certain gentlemen
up to time, who fashionably" talk about " not pay
ing this tax or that tax" ----r.t ~.
The tax collector will find no difficulty in meeting
taxpayers who are up to time, if they I'M
willing Or unable to put up their money. =

Taylor and Fillmore were elected; for Scott and Ora

INFAMOUS REGISTRATION N Arkansas Little
Rock dispatch of the l7tll, says:
Registration has commenced in Arkansas. As con-
ducted an election will be mere form In effect,
Gov CLAYTON will appoint Congressman and Presiden
tial electors Under his Instructions Registrars ex-
clude from registering and voting whom they think
proper. The Pulaski county Democratic Club asked
him to appoint one Democratic Judge and Clerk on
each county election board to vouch for the fairness
of registration He refused to do 80 and when they
asked him to require the boards to regulate reflections
by uniform rules he replied that the registrars duties
were judicial, not executive, aud refused. This was
done notwithstanding his first general Instructions is
sued to the registrars Of Independence, Perry and
Saline counties Where the people are all whites and
Democratic the registrars refuse to allow any persons
to register who voted against the ratification Of the
constitution under the reconstruction law Thus the
registrars have the power to elect whom they please
and this shows what Clayton when be said that
the Conway county election and registration should be

4 COMPROMISE ISyITED.-In the passage of the BILL

L. E. Carterthree OF our oldest and most influential
merchants and ctizens-were stricken out and those
OF one Heating, Mudgett and Crewe (vlo the devil is

Among the solid business portion Of appropriation,
we presume, no threemen of city better known
than Messrs White, Elstner and Carter They are re-
sponsible men, and have large interests dependent
upon the Improvement of Red river navigation Il
Outside Of this city, who ever knows by name the

bestowal of Offices and appointments in disregard Of
the popular choice Of personal responsibility ormate
rial interests in common the following extract shows
how far Radical audaeity will go to support Radical
necessity. And there is no end of this waste of the
public money. As long there is carpetbagger in
the State who is too lazy work and too poor to live
without it, if the present party in power maintains
possession it will provide for the INDECENT patriot from
the public treasury. Tax, tax Is it wonder the
Republican soats over the prospect of law looking
to the summary collection of taxes =:
The nefarious printing bill alone affords the means
of puronng hundreds of thousands annually from the
City Treasury. The Crescent is the recognised and
duly elected organ for publishing the proceedings Of
the Common Council, and, SUCH is usual publish
inge@the proceedings at the regular rates. averaging
abontsl2 column. The Republican, we are informed,
under the authority Of heprinting BILL transfers this
matter from the Crescent to its own columns, and is
permitted to charge s29 column therefor. A copy
of these proceedings have never been officially fur
nished to the Radical organ, yet warrants for payment
are regularly made out
