Affairs In New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. D.-Judgo Cooley having
addressed Q note to Gen. Hancock inquiriny
whether he would enforce the ordinance which
the Constitutional Convention may adopt stay
ing the executions of all judgments by State
courts until the LIST Of January, 1870, except juls
ments for taxes and the wages Of laborers, the
General, in reply, calls attention to the fourth
and eighth sections OF the act Of March %, 1907,
defining the powers OF the convention, and says:
"From these Is clear that the conven-
ton Is clothed with the extraordinary power Of
framing a constitution and civil government,
and that 1t possessed no authority to deal with
subjects OF ordinary legislation except levy and
provide for the collection OF taxes and to pay Its
me mbers, officers, etc.j and as the ordinance to
which you refer In your letter is entirely foreign
to the framing Of q constitution and civil gov
eminent, 1t appears to the Major General COM
handing that such an ordinance, II passed by the
convention, would be without any validity"
The State Auditor has addressed a communal
cation to General Hancock, stating that the
taxes imposed by the constitutional convention
cannot be collected through the ordinary process
OF collecting State taxes that the tax collectors
of the parishes OF Orleans and Jefferson report
that the tax payers have generally refused to
pay the tax, and refers the matter to General
Hancock for action. General Hancock In reply
refers the auditor to the ordinance Of the con :
vention making 1t his duty to attend to the col
| lection Of the tax, and says II does not appear
| from the auditors statement that any process
for the collection Of the tax has been issued OF
any steps taken except the notice In the news
papers and the demand for payment which has
been refused. He says no resort has been had to
eoereive means to enforce the taxes pointed out
by the laws which 1t is the auditors duty to d.
rect tax collectors to do. That when this IL dom
and forcible resistance made the major genera
commanding will, upon Its being reported Il
him, take prompt measures to vindieate the su
| premacy OF the law.
