The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-12-18

The special telegrammer of the Republican
finds it very comical that Mr.. Hunt should
be in Washington claiming seat to which he
was elected by the trifing majority of twelve
thousand votes. 1t is very comical, of course,
for Mr.. Hunt or anybody else to believe that
the voice of the people counts anything
in the case of contested election before a
Radical Congress; but after all, there is some
thing moutnful in the ridicule with which the
claims of justice and decency are treated by
the dominant party, and by the body which
is supposed to represent the will of the people.
1t is like the gibbering of lunatic over
corpse.

The council holds a special meeting to
night, when, we presume, the resolutions or
the city mon ey question, which passed the
Board of Assistants on Tuesday, will come up
for consideration in the Board of Aldermen.
We trust that there will be no delay in pass
ing this resolution. We believe that it meets
the appreciation of nine-tenths of the tax-pay.
ing people of this city, and now that deci.
sion has BEER rendered against the funding
system, as proposed by the recent ordinance,
on account, W. suppose, of its taxation fea-
lures, no othes course remains for relieving
the city of q, ose financial embarrassments
which are daily becoming more burdensome,
and which threaten soon to become unendu-
rable. Fit 5 urged that the city is bound to
receive its GWn obligations in payment of
dues or taxes; the answer is, simply, that to
receive them further would prove disastrous
to the city, and ruinous to the city's creditors.
If the note-hcli Hers, or those who have amass-
ed large quantities of notes for the purpose of
traficking in chem as tax-paying medium,
desire to test the legality of refusal to re-
ceive them foricity taxes the courts are open
to them as together citizens. But, we imagine,
they would hate their trouble for their pains, if
they shouldi rfsort to any such expedient as
this. Prima, idcie of course, the city owes
the debt which, the notes promise to pay but
behind this prima fdcie Indebtedness, lie
questions whSch, if the subject is pressed
upon the Judicial tribunals, in spirit of ex-
action according to the letter of the supposed
bond, may result in greater loss to the note
holders than ,lhey would incur by depending
on the good faith of the city. Moreover the
existence of the city governpent-the good
order of the community,I the payment of
creditors whs perform absolutely necessary
services, the rapport of the police, and of the
schools-thes> being all necessary incidents
of the existens of the city government-would
be regarded as an object of far higher i'm
portance than ANY other The object of tax
alton is the support of the city government
but the city government cannot be supported
by receiving sfor taxes kind of money
which really. is not money, which is
continually depreciating and which can
not be used, except at discount ruinous to
the receiver or by the payment of prices
ruinous to theicity. AS we remarked yester-
day, this process will ultimately lead to an
augmentation ~ the debt beyond the power
of the community to meet. To force the city
to take these notes in payment of future
taxes, would be to prevent the city from pay
ing its debts; and the greatest sufferers, in
the end, woeid be the holders of large
amounts of cisy money

Think OF twelve innocent looking gentlemen in
a box in Smith county, Texas listening with wide
open eyes to the following charge:
If the jury believe, in the evidence. that the
plaintiff and defendant were partners in the gro.
Gerry, and that the plaintiff bought out the defend
ant, and gave bis note for the interest, and the
oefendsnt paid for the note by delivering TO the
plaintiff COW, which be warranted not breachy
and the warrant was broken By reason of the
breachiness OF the COW. and he drove her back and
tenoerea ner 10 the defendant but he refused to
receive her, and the plaintiff took her hons AGAIN
and put heavy yoke on her to prevent her from
jumping fences, and by reason of the yoke she
broke her neck and died and if the Jury further
believe that the defendants interest in the grocery
was worth anything, the plaintiffs note was worth.

| BUuERs AGRARIAS PRoposrr1oN. = The
Radicals in Congress would likelto confiscate
Southern lands, but they are not likely to do
it on Buffers theory, that the freedmen are
entitled to the lands of Southern whites in
| requital for services rendered while in a state
of slavery. If the question is to become
one of accounts for values given and received,
the Southern whites may set up a claim
by reconvention which would probably
exhibit balance against the sswards of the
nation for their self-appointed tutor, the
federal government, to settle. These same
infants have cost this tutor for their mainte-
nance and protection, since the former tutor
ship was annulled, at the rate of about
s20, 900, 900 per annum, which makes total
Of not less than $780, 600, OO0 Now, not
only was the government at no expense on
this score, under the old order of things, but
the negroes in the South were better off as a
working population than the proletarian
class in any other part of the world. The
advantage which they enjoyed in this respect
for series of generations is incalculable.
Nor is the claim of the freedmen to the
lands of their former masters for services
rendered any better than that which they
have to the manufacturing and mercantile
establishments of the North, which, accord
ing to Northern testimony, profted much
more largely by those services than the
Southern planters. Nor, if such claim
should be conceded to the negro laborers in
the South, could it be consistently denied to
the wfite operatives in the North who have
remained poor while the sweat of their brows
and the skill of. their hands have raised their
factory lords to princely opulance. Partisan
and sectional malice might let loose the
genius of agrarianism upon the South, but
the North would be the scene of its most
furious carnival.

ANOTHER Gc.oD THNe.-A short time since
the council pa}sed an ordinance ordering the
controller to Fay no warrants to Gen. A. L.
Lee, the then proprietor of the New Orleans
Republican, which, under an act of the Legis-
lature, was chosen to do the printing of
Orleans pariso. until the constitutionality of
that Legislative act should be tested. But Lee
objected to this and applied to the Fifth Dis
trict Court, Judge Leaumont, for amandamus
to compel the controller to issue warrants.
The case was ;ried yesterday and the court
ordered the mendamus to be dismissed. We
trust that this viii end the matter and that
Gen. Lee will rest content until the proper
legal means are taken to test the constitution
atty Of the law under which he claims the
money.

of more than passing notice is the spirited

somewhat rough in detail, the salient points are
well brought out; the action of the Heightened

The Alpine hat has made speedier progress to
the favor of New Orleans beaux than most of the
newfsneled styles of head-gesr which have hith-
erto come from the New York emporium. These
semi conica and shtail head coverings, with their
broad silken bands and bows, are not wanting in
certain picturesqueness and, for most people.
are quite preferable in all respects to the stiff
silk tiles affected by ultra fashonsbles. Whether,
after all, they are more tasteful than the ordinary
soft felt chspesu, the graceful adjustment and
