GEN HANCOCK AND THE TAX,

There seems to be some difference of
opinion as to the proper construction to
to be placed on Gen. Hancock's recent
publication concerning the collection of
the tax imposed on the people of this
State by the Mechanics Institute con-
vention. His order to Mr.. Peralta in
structed that gentleman to make use Of
all the usual processes of the law, to en-
force the collection of the tax. The
act OF Congress authorizes thu Y
ton to impose such a tax, aud Gen Han
cock comes here to enforce the law. Of
course when the convention proceeds
within the powers conferred on it by law,
the commanding general is bound to sns-
tain its sets. That he does not intend
to set up his own will, lis opposition to
the law, we already know. He has
provedit i'll many different ways since he
came among us. But he is required
to enforce not only the laws which we
like, but the laws which we do not like.
This is unfortunate but it cannot be
helped
Of course, therefore, he is bound to
COME to The assistance of the officers of the
law when they find themselves in a way
that demands the intervention Of mill
tary power. Gen. Hancock states that,
IN case the collection ct the tax be for
chilly resisted, he will suppress such re-
s%lstance by all,the. means at his CON-
mand. But no such. resistance is on
templated, and We have no idea that
Gen. Hancock intends to send a file of
soldiers 10 break open safes, and money
drawers, or confiscat- mems property.
The commanding general likewise
very properly states that he has no rea.
SON to anticipate illegal" interference
with the tax ordnance, on the part of
the courts of justice. Il has been sug-
gested that any interference would be
illegal. But a legal interference could
not be Illegal. The presumption that a
court would issue an illegal process is
an assumption implying unimaginable ig-
norauce on the part of those tribunals.
They have a right to issue processes,
and, Oh the prope: application of tax
payers, to take other measures for the
purpose Of testing the legality and con-
sti'utlonality of any Legislative act or
ordinance. This is one of the purposes
for which a Judiciary is established.
Consequently it is to be presumed that
under the declarations made by Gen.
Hancock, he would not interfere to
thwart a court of justice in the exercise
of lis Legitimate functions, in relation to
this Or any other subiect.-N O. Cres-

"TEzE SWiNDLE."

Such is the suggestive heading of an arti-
Gle in the N. 0. Iribune-the recogn zed
organ of the colored people OF this State
in which the schemes OF the carpet-bag can
didates for official position in this State are
mcrcileSSly exposed. They are called the
awkward imitators Of the Slidells ola past
political diSpen>atioE, and it is more than
minated that while "fnming with Repnbli-
can pretensions" they rely solely on trickery
and fraud for their prospective successes.
