NOTICE
To state Tax Assessors and to Taxpayers.

AUDITOR OFFICE
new orleans, August 9, 1863 {
So many complaints having been made to this
office of injustice done to taxpayers By State Asses.
sOrs in different parishes. hereby notify all State
Tax Assessors that the law requires them to notify
taxpayers as follows:
THE Assessors and Board of Assessors shall i'm.
mediately give notice by Advertisements posted in
at least two public places in each parish or district
that they have lodged their assessment roll with the
Recorder, Justice Of the Peace or Parish Recorder
as the case may be, in order that any person az.
grieved by such asses ment may appeal and have the
same corrected il found incorrect" (See Revised
Statutes of 1885, 1855 p. 467, 49,
also notify all taxpayers that the law makes full
provisions for the correction of all errors of Asses
follows
Section 81. Any person conceiving himself ag
grieved by any assessment, may, within thirty days
after it shall have been delivered and advertised
as required in the preceding section, make
an appeal in writing, stating particularly the
correction desiredi on proof Of the fact, the
Recorder, Justice, or Parish Recorder shall
have full power and authority to correct errors but
he shall in no case reduce the amount of any assess.
ment without first notifying the Assessor of his par
ish or district of such claim and it shall be the duty
o. such Assessor, before the expiration Of the time
for closing said assessment roll examine such ap
pication, and confer with such Recorder or Justice
on the correctness OF the claim, If any omissions
are discovered, or in the additions are found
the same may also be corrected" CSee Revised
Statutes of ls55-lsS6, page 467, 81
All persons DESTROYS OF doing so can thus have am.
pie time and opportunlls to have their assessment
corrected; and 1 now warn all taxpayers to avail
themselves of this provision of the law as shall not
hereafter, under any circumstances interfere with
the assessment rolls of any parish.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-08-18

The Bulletin tells the Legislature that ii
"may" have all the legal perquisites, etc.,
and it "must" do several things which ii
mentions. The "may' is very gracious
and condescending on the part of the Buae
tin, and no. doubt the Legislature will at
once pass it vote of thanks for thus en-
tightening the body and kindly defining the
limits within which legal enactments "can''
take place.
But the must" sounds little lordly and
imperial. Itsmacks slightly of the old lie roi
dit of our regal neighbors over the water
who rule by divine right and the grace of
God. Ecce ego.
How odd such language would sound in
a Northern journal, addressed to a North
ern Legislature. 1t would there be regard
ed at once as the utterance of intimidation
and seditiou. The Seymour organs Of the
South are decidedly behind the times.
They don't comprehend the situation.
They forget they are not authorized to die
tate the laws of the land. Their party at
tempted that some years ago, but the
success they met with was not of such a
character as to warrant them in still en-
ploying the old phraseology or exhibiting
the old spirit Modesty is no. one of their
shining characteristics, we know, but we
would deferentially suggest that an effort
to cultivate that grace would not, under
the circumstances, be unbecoming in them,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-08-18

When the Democratic party OF the South
went into the campaign with the names Of
Seymour and Blair, their STRONGHOLD
was the Brodhead letter in which Blair
promises to "dispersen by force the gov
ernments organized in the reconstructed
States, including the present State govern
ment of Louisiana.
They have now heard from the North
and are getting alarmed. The North is not
in the habit of seeing State governments
which have been peacefully and lawfully
established dispersed" Wade Hampton,
Camp street & Co. are now backing down,
and talk of Constitutional and peaceful
means off possible"
Now, there is no probability of the cleo
lion of Seymour. But, for the sake of az
gument let us admit that he will be elected
VIII some of our opponents please answer
these questions?
1. In the event of the election of Sey-
mSur, will he, as President, use force to
disperse, abrogate, or interfere with the
present State government of Louisiana as
established under the constitution of 1868?
2. In the event of the election of Sey-
mour, do the Democracy of Louisiana pro-
pose by force to disperse, abrogate, or
modify the present government of the State
as established under the constitution of
1865?
3. In the event of the election of Sey-
monr, if force is not employed either by
the President elected, or by the Democracy
of the State, how is the present State gov
eminent of Louisiana, established under the
constitution of 1868, to be dispersed, abro-
gated, or modified and of what advantage
will 1t be as against this government to
have elected Seymour?
Win the Picayrne favor US with answers
TO these questions?
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-08-18

norance if they are so inclined. We think
no sensible man will agree that parents
have any such right-if it is to be classed
as right.
Should VIC admit fer arguments sake
that parents have that right, then the Dues
ton may be asked, has not the child some
rights as well as the parents and is it not
a right of the child (Which the State should
secure when parents neglect to do SOY to
possess the advantages of education ?
Parents have rights most assuredly, but
children have rights equally sacred.
The State also has claims upon the
child. It may very properly interfere with
parents who grossly neglect and abuse
their children, because its future safety
depends very much on the education Of
its children.
Another feature which seems to meet
with serious objection is that which re-
quires the repetition of the Lords Prayer
or the reading of the New Testament at
the opening of school. The charge is made
that this provision, if adopted, would es-
tab ish a system Of sectarian religion in
the State. If we should ask the question:
"What sect is to be built up by this pro-
vision % probably those who harp on it
would be at loss to tell. All Protestant
sects believe in the Testament and in the
Lords Prayer, and Roman Catholics would
probably feel greatly offended if it were
charged that they did not believe in both.
As a sample of provisions in the act, to
which all parties will, we think, yield a
ready assent, we find the following:
Salaries Of teachers in the city of New
Orleans, and in each parish throughout the
State, shall be fixed by the Board OF School
Commissioners of the parish or city in which
the services shall be rendered; provided that
female teachers. when employed under this
law in the same grade as males, anywhere
within the State, snail receive the same COM
pensation that males receive, and no school
corp ration shall be allowed to make the
sex of the teacher a bar against his or her
right to equal compensation for services rem
dered.
Formerly female principals received
three hundred dollars per annum less than
males who performed the same services,
and that in this city, where schools had
reached higher degree of efficiency than
anywhere else in the State.
We have thus noticed some of the provis-
ions of this bill. not as urging its hasty
adoption but to show that some Of the OBJ
jections to it are founded in ignorance of
what it really proposes. 1t may well be
that in consideration OF the hustle and bust
ness of Presidential canvass, the Legisla-
tuTe may choose to defer action on a sub
jeGt that requires so careful deli5eration.
But we are sure that no true friend of
Louisiana could desire that the State should
long remain without a system which may
afford good education to all her children.
Our opponents may desire the prevalence
Of ignorance if they choose; we do not.

There was grand Seymour ratification
meeting at White Sulphur, Virginia, a few
days since, presided over by Thomas L.
Price, of Missouri. About twenty ex-Con-
federate generals were present. One of
the resolutions passed is as follows:
ReSol Ued, That the efforts of the Radicals
in Congress to overthrow the Constitution,
change the form of government, and es-
tablisb negro supremacy In the South, can
not succeed without involving the country
10 another bloody and desolating war.
The Southern wing of the Democracy are
getting very anxious to know what prepa-
rations the Northern Democratic leaders
are making for carrying out the revolution
airy programme Of Frank Blair. One
Southern paper asks if the work of raising
regiments has yet been begun by the Sey-
mour party; and 1t expresses great dislike
OF the hot -blooded Southerners getting into
another difficulty only to be again deserted
by their Northern friends"
The rebels will soon be Sighting among
themselves. General Preston, of Kentucky
denies that Wade Hampton or any other
Southern man placed the words unconsti-
tutional, revolutionary, and void" in the
Democratic platform. He says 1t vas
placed in 1t by Freesoil Northerner. How
will Wade Hampton stand being called a
lar?
Wade Hampton says that, whatever he
may be hereafter, should this dear old
mother Of ours [South Carolina) call her
sons together to defend her altars, if life
and yelilien are left 10 me, none will re-
spond more cheerfHlly OF promptly than
myself" From that text he then goes on
TO show the necessity of Seymour's election.
An old Democrat came into franklin,
johnson county, Indiana, few days since
and inquired Of citizen "If 1t was true
that mob had hung Seymour, for being
concerned In an Express robbery?r When
the proper explanation was made the old
veteran seemed considerably relieved. and
remarked 81 thought 1t a little singu-
lAr.n
The London Spectator, OF July Is, says:
tNe never remember to have read
American documents which puzzled Ts "a
entirely as the Democratic platform, and
the report Of the meeting by which that
platform was accepted They read ss Il

THR PRoPosRp SCHOOL, SYSTEM.

AT meeting Of citizens at the Governors
parler last week, Mr.. Duncan F. Kenner
alluded to the school bill pending in the
Legislature, and stated in substance that
the public mind was much excited in re-
gard to provision of the bill requiring
all parents 10 send their children to the
Public Schools under penalty of fine"
That so intelligent gentleman as Mr..
Kenner should have made such statement
in the utmost good faith, shows to what an
extent the readers of the Democratic press
have been misled on this subject
Referring to the same topic, some Of our
contemporaries, without going quite SO far
Is stated above, have declared that the law
authorizes the seizure of all children who
ahall fan to attend either public or private
schools, and their Incarceration in houses
Of correction "with negroes"
Weregret that partisan press should
deem it necessary to bewilder the public
with such declarations.
By By the section il question the failure to
attend either public Or private school is
not sufficient cause Of the interference Of
the State but, if after three successive
admonitions parents or guardians neglect
to send their children or wards to school,
or to hare them Otherwise instructed IN Tie NJ
dfmsnts Of consplon education, then the
case shall be referred to the State Board Of
Edneaaion, y etc.
n esbet words, the State Is to interfere
in casas where parents force ignorance on
their children, just as it intsrieres in cases
Of ysgrancy, professional beggary and the
ike.
We are noA in favor Of compulsory eda-
cation.
