precisely the same use. 10 take the
homestead is constitutional, valid,
and to be encouraged; but 70 take the
five cents is unconstitutional, Invalid
and an unwarranted invasion of
private rights. And in this connec-
ton it should also be lemembered,
thatcompensation for property taken
for public use, is always|to be made,

constitution requires it. Bnt for this
requirement the right Of uinent

Reference is made in the majority
opinions to the, unfortunate conflict
now existing between this Court and
the Federal Supreme Court upon the
question Of the validity of county
and city bonds; and confess that I
cannot free myself from the convic-
ton that this conflict has control
ing influence upon the majority in
their opinions. This Court has held
in its later and unanimous opinions,
that counties and cities under the
laws Of this State do not possess the
inherent power to subscribe stock in
railroad corporations, and tax the
people therefor, and that no law had
been enacted in this State authoriz-
ing them SO to do. Upon this latter
proposition, and iryiaw Of the earli-
er and contrary decisions upon the
question, the coaai6st has arisen.
Now, have no doF sAstever that
an enlightened puAB 6 Sns ment will,
as does the unbiased bal .n1 judgment
+ofthe country now, sustain and
vindicate our Court,
But if our Courier deny the
power Of the cities Dcounties to
take stock and levy to pay the
same, now that law ha been passed
authorizing them SO to do, and rest
its decisions, as the majority does,
upon principle or construction
which has been distinctly and direct
ly denied and repudiated by the
Supreme Court Of every State in the
Union, before which the question has
been presented, as well as by the
Supreme Court Of the Z. S., it will,
to a certain extent defariye US of the

on CARONDELET STREET,

The brokers could hardly do less
business than they did yesterday, and
have any excuse for paying licenses and
spending their time upon the street
Some of them have evidently gone deeply
into the study of the law of late, and are
qualified for toleraby searching exami-
nation on the necessary concomitans and
effects of writs of injunction, error and
supersedeas. They have also, within a
day or two, devoted considerable painful
study to the question of damages, and are
generally gradually making up their
minds as to what the courts must decide
in the great Slaughterhouse cases. With
out this acquaintance with few legal
principles and rules, and something like a
fair guess at the legal probabilities in the
suits referred to, it is pretty difficult to
understand how the brokers can make up
their minds upon the chances of invest
ments in Slaughterhouse. When this
vexed question is settled, it may be that

A correspondent Of the New York Demo.
c''at, writing to that paper from Shreveport,
says:
One thing We notice here, about which
nothing has been said heretofore. is that
these people have caught little of the
grasping spirit, SO characteristic of the
Northern people, which, doubtless. was one
of the impressions left by the Northern SOL
diery, or perhaps gathered from the Yankees
who have settled IN the South since the war.
Admitting that the Southern people were
constitutiOnally lenient in financial matters,
this impression may not prove bad.
To-day the South, borrowing this element,
is fast gaining in wealth.
The people are farming to much greater
extent than ever before. They are getting
much better prices for the products of the
plantation, and it is an acknowledged fact
y the larger landholders that the labor does
not sost them as much as before the war. A
natural sequence of all this is that wealth
will flow, and is now flowing, into the Golfers
of these favored people, much faster than
before the war.

EQUAL AND UNIFORM TAXATION,

Necessary and praiseworthy as the OBJ
servance Of rigid economy most undoubt-
eddy is, in the present condition of our
municipal affairs, it nevertheless, may not
be inconsequent to realize the fact that,
| when in pursuance of this laudable prin-
ciple it is believed necessary to attach
great Importance to matters involving but
trifing donations to charitable and philan-
thropic institutions, the real cause neces.
stating the enforcement of this illiberal
policy arises not so much from the gen.
crosby exhibited in that benefcent par
ticular by the city, extravagant or wanton
as that generosity may have been, as in
the failure Of those heretofore charged
with the protection OF the city's interests,
to properly perform the duties Of the
Offices which they were chosen to fill.
For instance, and it may not be unin-
teresting to the Administrator of Assess
ments to know the fact, that in the So
called lists of assessments furnished the
Department of Public Accounts, and upon
which the tax bills of the present year are
based, many gross and seemingly most
wanton errors have been discovered.
These assessment rolls show clearly
enough that while tie cottage of the in-
dustrious mechanic and the shanty of the
struggling laborer are assessed to their
full value, and in many instances to more
than their value, the palatial residences of
the millionaires and the rows upon rows of
stately structures owned by the rich and
prosperous are passed very cheaply over.
When the same rate of assessment is
applied to the rich and poor alike, the city
will not only be able to pay its legitimate
debts but can also afford to be liberal in
its generosities, and with a view to the
speedy and certain attainment of these
desired ends We would urge upon the
Board of Administrators the necessity Of
thorough and complete change in the
manner and policy of making assessments.
The REPUBLICAN is the representative and
organ of all the people of this city, and it
insists that the rich shall be taxed equally
with the poor. Equal and uniform taxa
tion," is the principle which underlies our
system of Taxation. This principle, we de-
mand, shall be properly and impartially |

THE INDIANS IN THE WHITE house

THE INDIANS IN THE WHITE house.
The amenities of the White House are
being extended to the chiefs Of the Indian
delegation, and more especially to him of
the blotted caudal acknowledgement
Tail-and the more euphoniously named
Red Cloud. At their reception by the
President, these red men made their usual
speeches. They had come long way, like
birds in the air /; they were poor; game
vas scarce in consequence of the white
mans encroachment; the pale-faces had
made war on them, but they were all for
peace they would like to become rich
have plenty of guns, horses, and big wig
vans they loved their Great Father !;
they were struck with wonder at the num-
Der of the pale-faces, and the work of their
hands, and they were afraid that their ac-
counts of them would not be believed
when they returned to their warriors.
This, in substance, is the speech which
every President hears, preceded and fol-
lowed by general hand-shaking, inter-
spersed here and there with "ughs" of
satisfaction.
We were once present when a similar
delegation was received by the lamented
Lincoln. The President was evidently
taken by surprise. The Indians sat in a
semi-circle in front, and a number of dis
tinguished men stood behind him. The
President looked around moment, and
ordered globe, such as is used in the
schools, to be wheeled up in front of the
red men. He proceeded to talk in Indian
style:
"We pale faces" said he, "believe that
the world on which we live is like this"
Whereupon one of the children of the
forest ingenuously reached forth his hand
to examine the legs which sustained the
globe, which, the President observing
quickly added:
without the legs-we believe it is like
this without the legs. This is land and
this is water. We get into big canoe,
and starting, say from here, go around the
world and come back to the starting point.
The eyes Of the Indians did not follow
the descriptive finger of the President, but
were rivited on the legs of the globe. He
stopped, asking why their attention was
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-06-08

so much diverted by the legs. The
answer came from the interpreter:
''They wondered what kept the world
from falling"
| The inquiry was q natural one, but q
proper answer puzzled even as wise a
man as Lincoln. The by-standers stood
waiting with twinkle in their eyes, to
see the Chief Magistrate of the nation
tripped up with this simple question.
Seconds seemed minutes, and the general
smile was widening. The President
looked around him, and his eye fell on
Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, who stood behind him an uncon-
cerned spectator. The President put his
hand on his shoulder. and gently pushed
him forward in front Of the Indians, say
ing. as he did so:
"Here is one of our wise men, who will
tell you all about it,
Here the twinkle appeared in the eyes
of the President, but disappeared from
those of the professor. The latter, at first
disconnected at this brusque maneuvre, in
q few moments recovered sufficiently to
make some sort of an answer to the lead
ing question.
At the close of the professors remarks
one sagacious chief called White Bear
made speech. He was very apprehen-
sive that his accounts of the power and
magnifcence of the Great Father would
not be received as authentic when he re-
turned to his people. He suggested,
therefore, that he should be sent back to
his people laden down with presents
shining all over like looking-glass" to
prove his statements concerning the Great
Father.
The president asked if he would like to
have anything else. Oh yes, he would like
to have horses, a carriage and big wig
wan like this, observed he looking around
the east room in which he found himself.
81 will tell you how we get these things,
and how you may also have them"
The red man was all attention, demand
ing eagerly how he was to possess the
coveted treasures. Buy an OK" said the
President, "and we will furnish you with
plow Turn up the soil and plant corn,
harvest your crop, sell and plant more.
Keep on at this for several years, and you
will have horses, carriage and a fine wig
wam."
The Indian regarded this as huge and
presidential joke, for it involved
what he utterly detested-work A few
days after this reception White Bear de-
parted for the happy hunting grounds.
Civilization was too much for him in
Washington hotel. One morning an over
indulgence in sausage did the business,
and be was gathered to his fathers.
