It will thus be seen that $l25,2O1 are paid
by Estates and individual planters, S55,5S9
by the general public, and there is Si3,995
Miscellaneous revenue, that can be charged
to neither These three make up the Sl95,7S5
the estimated revenue Of His Exccllency's
budget. His Excelltncy objected to the Alb
sentee-tax being placed in this manner. The
fifth crown-member replied, that his object was
to place in one line how much of the taxes Was
paid by the owners of 100 Sugar Estates be
they absent or present, how much came di-
rectly out of the Sugar, and in the other line
how much taxes was paid by the general pub
lie. He explained that the taxes from Ships,
Pilotage &c. was but part of the freight of the
articles imported, aud was paid by the consul
mer the same as impOrt-duty, and that the
outward port-charges were the same as an adj
dition to the export-duty. He had placed Z of
these amounts to the Planters and to the
public He stated that however His Excellen-
cy might classify the taxes SO much to estates,
and 50 much put down to something el>s, as
far as the planter was concerned If he paid it ON
his estates or in some other way, it all come
out of the same pocket, and he had endeavour-
ed to put this all in one line. The BurgherS-
b~rief-tax, though a good part of it was paid by
planters, he had put down all to the. public
as ain Offset against some small part of AbSen-
tee-tax and per cent tax which might belong
on the other side. If now We take the tax ON
the general public mot ~planters) it will be
found not to be large, on the contrary rather
light, much lighter than in the States and he
presumed lighter than in the Mother Country.
Calling the inhabitants $4,000 it was So. 81
a head for men, women and child. If we
take the lahorer in the country, all he had to
pay was horse tax, if he owned a poney, and
his proportion of import.duty on what he con-
sumed. With the poorer classes in town, the
tax was the same, with the addition Of a mode
rate house tax for whoever owned a house.
With the better classes the tax was still the
same Carriage and horse TAX, house tax for
those who owned houses, and import-duty on
articles consumed, and burgherS-b brief for who
ever required one. Well now, this impOrt-duly
was a moderate one, compared with the tariff
of other Countries. IT. was 81 a bbl. on white
-four, and generally 129 pr. ct. on other arti-
Giles consumed. We cannot see anything there
fore in the taxes on the general public that are
unreasonable or oppressive. But the whole
burthpn of oppressive taxation falls on the own
ers of 100 Sugar Estates 1t is an average of
$f,250 each estate large or small, be the own
ers absent or present. If We bring this tax to
the standard of common sense, it will be found
to be unnatural and oppressive. compared with
what these Estates are now producing, and he
hoped the Council would see the necessity Of
granting some alienation to this overtaxed

aforesaid imports (printed Report p. CLXXX);
and by the same Law the export-duty on Sugar
was reduced from respectively 81 and IA pot.
to 5 and 10 PCT. Since the 1st of January
1859 the Cavalary and Artillery Tax on Sugar
Estates was reduced and remoddled SO that
the tax is now only one half of its former
amount. By Law of 10th April 1862 5 the
differential export-duty, on Sugar, Rum and
Molasses exported to foreign places was as
good as abolished. Finally, by Ordinance of
goth December 1862 an alteration was made IN
the Ground-taxes of the estates area, as I'M
posed by Ordinance 1t October 1902, the prln-
cipal object of which was to obtain an allevla-
tion in the taxes on sugar estates OF less pro-
ductive power, but in reality the very best
estates have thereby derived considerable re-
duction in their previous taxes, even if this Is
so in lesser proportion with this class of pro-
perties than with others that stood in greater
need of reduction. He had procured a state
ment of the amount of direct taxes paid accord
ing to the Matricul for 1867 by 4 particular
Estates, and had caused a calculation to be
made of the amount of taxes which those same
a properties, with the same area OF land IN
cultivation and in grass, would have had to
pay agreeable to the rules regulating the taxes
just before the Ordinance goth December 1852
came in force, and he would here state the
result:

Direct Taxes whatth taxes ton givenin

Agreeable to all what he had previously stated
his conviction was that the Colonial Treasury
could not at present do without the customs
revenue from corn-meal, amounting to about
$4,000 p. a. The only manner in which a
reduction of this duty, which certainly does fall
on the estates owners, conld at present be
effected, would be by introducing another tax,
and then especially an excise-duty on Rum.
The 5th crown-memberr (Walker) remarked
that he was sorry again to be obliged to say,
that he considered His Excellency's statement
as to who paid the taxes to be incorrect. He
considered his statement of the importantly to
be very incorrect. From his knowledge as Mer-
chant and Importer, and also as Planter as to
what articles and what quantity consumed on
Estates, and also by individual planters he
considered his own Estimate to be a fair one.
His Excellency had asked him to show wherin
he differed from his Estimate and he offered
the following statement =

SAMMY AND AMALIA.
AIR Tzikius and his Dinah.

Ills of a young lady who in Antilles resides,
Where the Hurricanes blow and the Earthquakes
make tides;
Her name is Amalia, she is lovely and fair;
She was lovd by young Sammy beyond all
compare.
(ChoruS) Sing, Yah vii du ha, yah. yah vii du ha
Yah vii du ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Yah vii du ha ha ha yah vii du ha
Yah vii du ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
He earnestly sought her, and he earnestly pray'd
Uncle Dan would but sell him his sweet servant
Now Sammy was young and was quite wealthy
beside;
So he offer'd to pay for his lovely young bride
(Choras.)
Six Millions of Dollars, in American Gold,
Was the price of the lady that was to be sold;
So The contract was signed and all was agreed,
And then Sammy put nom at the top of his
speed
(CAorus)
With the JOY in his eye, and on marriage full
bent,
For to ask his Papa for to give his consent;
But his Father, the stingy old Mister Congress,
Said the money was too much and would not
say, Yes!
(CAorus.)
For the while Master Sammy was putting foot
home,
And poor Miss AmaIia was pining alone,
Disasters and troubles did beset hef all round,
And the wind nearly blewsdown her house to
the ground.
Chorus
Her face with the small pox was all pitted and
scarr'd, :.
And her features, once fair, were disfgur'd, and
marr'd;s
Then a very strong Ague distracted her frame,
And then after the Ague the Cholera came.
Chorus
With the Fever and Ague and Cholera too,
This our sweet little darling no kind comfort
knew,
And then worst of all, these her misfortunes to-
crown,
Amalia, detected, and deserted, cast down.
(ChOruS.J
From the faithless young Sammy she ne'er
hears a word,
And her hopes of the marriage are wholly
deferr'd,
And the poor Miss Amalia doth languish and
fade,
Whilst the Sammy forgets all the sweet VOWS
he made.
(ChOrus.)
SO abandoned, deserted, despis'd and betrayed,
Oh! great are the wrongs of the most lovely
young maid.
Now, what she should do, should be most GER
tainly this
Claim her damages heavy for ''6reacA Of
PROMISE"

This is the highest eulogy by the high

Alas! few of us can say that We have
done that we could for Christ. Rare have
been the occasions when the coyetous
could have blamed us for giving too much,
Or the indolent for everlasting our
strength for Jesus. How many times,
when prompted by the nobler principle to

ought to give out of his abundance large

less:

TO WORK. TO WORK {!

Now that the election is over, the Con-
stitution accepted, and the victory in good
part won by the Republicans, it behoOves
all our friends to go to work. The success
ful candidates, especially those who have to
do with the legislation of the country, have
enough to do to brighten up their wits.
The knowledge they need in order to meet
the great questions now pressing for settle
ment, and tor which this Southern
country is almost perishing, comes nei-
Their from inspiration nor from a Re-
publican victory. Much will be required
Of them. So much for the victors. As to
the "outs,n they are after all the most
fortunate. They will have none of the
cares and perplexities Of Office. We once
heard Horace Greeley say that of all the
multitude of applicants for places in the
New York customhouse the unsuccessful
ones had in the end turned out best Then
the free man unencumbered by Office has
such splendid chance in this country. mo
pentup Utica Restraints hisipowers." Every
one has at least the inspiration of
splendid opportunity. Work will yet
prove the salvation of the South. There
are millions of acres of land waiting for
cultivation in Louisiana, and this is the age
and the country in which the lsbors of the
husbandman are both hOnored and reward
ed. Let us all go to work.

TOO BAD.

The Times says that many good tran
sient residents will leave New orleans)
earlier than anticipated on account Of the
probable adoption Of the Dryades street
constitution. They will take with them
their cash balances. The carpet-baggers
and mendicants will remain as long as
there are any public funds to be plundered
or stolen" Considering that the Times is
one of the journals which have persistently
adopted course ruinous to the material
interests of Louisiana, which has driven
away millions of capital and thousands OF
her citizens, which has caused the loss oil
hundreds of millions of dollars invested in
cotton planting since the war, as complete
ly as if they had been thrown into the sea,
and in fine involved planters and freedmen
in common ruin, we consider the
above announcement rather cool. This,
however we need only remind the reader
is one of the four or FIVE ideas which "On
Change has been turning over and over
industriously for the last two or three
years, until the possibilities Of Formulation
must be about exhausted. "Sir Morton
Pete, 1.-The Utter Worthlessness ofPompey
and Dinah," "The Shoe Pinches in the
North, yea, it Pinches,' The Expansion of
Crinolire on the Boulevard Canal, are the
four other staples. The lovers of political
economy would doubtless contribute hand
semely to have their favorite science spared
the dreadful blows and ferocious threats Of
this terrible champion. Pass around the
