INPOLICr OF CoNCEALMENr.
In the foregoing remarks the present posi-
ton of the city of New Orleans is shown by
facts and figures. I believe it necessary thai
the full gravity of the situation should be
understood by ourselves and by the public.
No covering up or CLOSING over actually
existing facts, which sooner or later must
make themselves apparent, can restore the
city to the financial position it ought to
hold in the money markets of the world
All such attempted concealments imply
moral cowardice on the part of those in
trusted with the administration OF the
affairs of the city, or an indisposition to do
their duty in the premises from fear of per-
sonal or political results. If we are on the
wrong track, hold it the part of true men,
bearing in mind the oaths we have taken
and the responsibilities we have assumed,
to acknowledge the fact and turn back,
sinking the pride of opinion and regardless
Of personal consequences. Sooner or later
this city must stop running reckiessly into
debt, without providing means of payment;
and twenty millions is better stopping
place than any beyond.
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LEGISLATURE.
do not, by any means, charge the pres
emit condition of affairs wholly upon muni
cipal administration, bad ~ it has been in
the past. and much, as think. it may be
improved in the future. To great extent
it has been brought about BY unwise and
legislation-to use no harsher
term-on the part Of tho General Assembly.

Gil could reasonably be expected to make
worse bargain for the city than that stated
to have been contaminated by the park
commissioners under legislative authority.
The act turning over drainage works
to the Mississippi and Mexican Gulf
Canal Company ought to be repealed at
once. The enormous work ordered to be
done beyond the ridge is unnecessarily
least, at present-and the price fixed by the
Legislature is hundred per cent higher
than that for which responsible parties
stand ready to do the Same work. 1t is
simply big job enacted for the benefit of
few at the expense OF the many. If the city
is not relieved from the enforced contract
it will greatly increase our financial em5ar-
easements. Indeed, it has already dene SO.
These are the leading measures which the
Legislature should take for the relief of the
city. Some of them were urged upon the
Legislature last year; it is unnecessary to
remind the Council with what unfortunate
result. Instead of tightening the !city's
burdens, the Legislature imposed addi-
tional obligations. 1t is said that any
attempt to carry ont such Wholesale and
wholesome reform by an omnibus bill viii
certainly entail defeat. Ireply that in no

THE Duty ON EXPORTED ToBACCo.-Our
tobacco shippers have been laboring under
grievous burden, from which they should
be Immediately relieved by the action Of
Congress. Under the present revenue laws
tobacco shipped to foreign ports is allowed to
pass free Of duty, but the shipper has to give
bonds in double the amount of the tax to fur
nish landing certificate or proof that the arti-
Gle did actually arrive at the port of destina-
ton. Therefore, if cargo of tobacco be
shipped from this port to Australia or any
other foreign port, and the vessel is wrecked
on the passage, the shipper has no indemnifi-
cation, and not being able, of course, to pro-
dnce landing certificate is obliged to pay the
double tax, which frequently amounts to moro
than the value Of the tobacco ITSELF The
omission to provide for an exigency like this
must have been an oversight on the part Of
the trainers Of the law; for so fragrant an act
Of injustice to the tobacco interest could not
have been purposely intended. We learn that
the subject has been placed in the hands Of
the Committee of Ways and Means, and it ia
to be hoped that a law covering the case may
be passed without delay.

AFFAIRS IN PARIs.-Although our special
correspondent in Paris reports the city quiet
the general tenor of his dispatches indicat,
the existence Of apprehensions of violence.
The denial of report that the governm ent
intends taking away the guns held by the riot
ers is something curious. We would feel more
assured to hear that the report was confirmed,
for it would prove that the government was
confident in its strength and was determined to
compel obedience to law 1t Is to be feared that
the present quiet in Paris is the result of a COM
promise between the authorities and the tur-
bulent elements. General De Paladines, ii is
true, has issued an address to the National
Guards declaring that all disorders will be
promptly suppressed, and it may be that he
possesses the power 10 enforce bis declaration.
The disarming of the National Guards and the
removal Of the artillery from Montmartre
would, however, do more to pacify Paris and
assure order in France than all the addresses
or compromises which have been or may be
delivered or made.

THE STREETS are in q fair condition now for
being thoroughly cleansed. The soft weather
and softer rain of the last few days have done
so much to break up the small mountains Of
snow, ice and filth that the city authorities
have no excuse for no. cleaning off the debris
and giving us streets which pedestrians can
use with comfort. and Mr.. Bergh's adopted
children-the poor horses-can travel on with
out constant danger to life and limb. There is
nothing to prevent the perfect cleaning of the
streets within week. The mass Of frozen dirt
can be carted off easily within that time, and we
may again enjoy the luxury of seeing the tes-
selated variety of pavement on our streets aud
avenues. 1t appears that the question where
all the mass Of 6lth accumulated in the city
can be dumped without danger to the pub
lie health is being agtated. A correspondent
asks us to enlighten the public on that subject.

Connecticut, on both shores of the Long Island
Sound. were consulted they would dispose Of

The September Government or France
Called to Account.
The cable kilograms which we publish this
Blanc, Victor Hugo and others Of that ilk
made demand yesterday for the detention Of
the members of the Septe mber government
until they have given an account of their acts
up to the capitulation of Paris. This move
ment on the part of those mld-minded legisla-
tors serves to indicate the storm that is brew
ing in the very midst Of the radical camp.
Since NJ. Gambetta concluded his star
engagement on the stage of France
in the character of Minister of the Interior,
with almost unlimited power, he has kept
quietly in the background, biding his time
until the occasion presented itself for him to
step forth from his solitude. As he was
prominent member of the September govern
ment we now expect to see him summoned to
appear, and possibly answer to the charge of
high treason, for, according to the demand of
NJ Delescluze, these madmen contemplate
going to that extent in their proceed
ings. M. Favre, General Trochu and others
may also expect to be remembered by this
Investigating group of irreconeilable radicals
who aim to rule France at the present time.
We hope they will 60 on with their good work,
because the sooner they ''play themselves
out" the better it will be for the nation and
the republic. Let them quarrel among them
selves as much as they please. There is an
old adage which says that when certain peo-
pie fall out certain other people get their due.
This may prove also to be the case in
France. These noisy, blatant demagogues
who below loudest about liberty are them
selves the worst tyrants, and men totally unfit
for government. These fellows now advertise
their patriotism by calling the September gov
ernment to account for its acts. So be it.
We fear very much that unless some change
takes place among the French legislators they
will prove themselves as incompetent in legis-
lation as the generals of France have shown
themselves inefficient In the field. Poor
France!

Negro Testimony in Kentucky.

During the war Kentucky as 'sa neutral
State" gave more trouble than all the ''rebel
States" together To be sure it had given
birth both to Abe Lincoln and to JEFF Davis
to the President Of the Southern confederacy
and the President Of the United States. The
bitter family feuds which the war occasioned
can be accounted for if not justified. But
now that the s'cruel war" is over it is becom-
ing insuferable that murder should any longer
deter immigration and prevent the prosperity
to which the soil and the climate of Kentucky
alike entitle that fertile and attractive State.
Why should narrow local prejudces be SO
much excited by the fact that negro mail
agent is employed on the Louisville and
Frankfort Railroad? Why should Judge
Pryor be compelled TO address the Grand Jury
of Frankfort county, on the 9th ult, in such
language as he used in regard to the recent
defiance Of law by band Of armed men who
had rescued the murderer Of negro from
Jail? 1t is simply because Kentucky has not
yet fairly and squarely recognized the positive
facts legally attested by the fourteenth and the
fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the
United States These amendments guarantee
the civil and political rights of the enfranc hised
negro. Neither Kentucky nor any other
''border State can now prevent the exercise
of these rights. The Louisville Courier is
sound on this point; and the sooner all
prejudices are dismissed and accomplished
facts are acknowledged by the people of Ken.
lucky the better will it be for one of the
noblest States in the Union and for the Union
itself

Consress Yssserday-TAs Adjsursneut Ques-

sAo~ k0Ss0EUay-Eo0 AVOuEuoOut W9Oes
The concurrent resolution adopted by the
House on Saturday, for the adjournment of
Congress to-day, was not favorably acted upon
IN the Senate, but was laid upon the table.
ibis action, we preseme, was in Difference to
the wish Of the President, expressed to the
joint committee which waited upon him to
notify him that Congress was in session and
ready to receive any communication he might
make, that the day for final adjournment might
not be fixed during the present week, as, al
though ne had no message to send to Congress
now. he might have one to send next week.
Mr.. Butler, Of Massachusetts,, interprets that
intimation as meaning that the President in
tends to press on Congress the necessity of
further legislation to prevent Ku Klux
outrages in the South, whereas the generally
received opinion in Washington is that the
delay which the President asks for is in the
interest Of his st. Domingo policy. Which
ever OF these constructions may be the cor
rect one, or whether it be that both subjects
were in the Presidents mind when he made
the suggestion, the Senate at least manifested
willingness to be governed by his wish in
regard to the adjournment question, and laid
the House resolution on the table, from which
1t can be taken up at any time and amended
by substituting another day for that fixed by
the House.
The discussion in the House yesterday on
resolution for the appointment of the regular
committees indicates very general deter
mination on the part of the members of
that body not to take any steps
that might tend towards opening up
general legislation at present. The Speaker
himself showed very decided leaning in that
direction, in expressing the desire that he
should not be called upon TO appoint the stand
ing committees before the December session.
Mr.. Dawes, the leader of the House, showed
himself decidedly adverse to the idea of pro-
ceeding to business now, and in favor OF
returning to the old system, under which Con-
gress did not organize until December, and the
democrats chimed in with the general senti-
ment. Mr.. Butler alone dissented from it +;
but all that even he wanted was that Congress
should pass his Ku Klux bill and then adjourn.
There were some casual expressions in the
debate in regard to the propriety Of passing
some revenue measures, such as the repeal of
the income tax and Of the duties on coal and
salt; but these were merely buncombe allu-
sions, having no real value or meaning. The
upshot of it all makes it plain that Congress
will adjourn very soon without entering on
any general legislation, and perhaps without
regard either to the Presidents Dominican
policy or to Mr.. Buffers plan for extinguish-
ing the Ku Klux Klan.
The New York herald., 1871-03-08

Morton and his committee and that the object
is to make up case from facts, dates, names
and places, upon which to pass new law of
Congress for the protection of the Southern
blacks in the exercise of their right to vote.
A Washington correspondent informs U.S.
upon this matter, that Senator Morton and
other prominent friends of the President who
look at it in purely party light, are convinced
that, without further Congressional action, the
South will be hopelessly democratic in 1872" 4"
and that, therefore, Senator Morton and his
coworkcrs in Congress will make vigorous
fight TO prolong this session until they
shall have finished their investiga-
ton of the Ku Klux. The President, in
very significant terms, referred in his
last annual Message to the defeat of the will of
the people in certain Southern elections by
measures of violence; and there can be no
doubt that he is convinced that the Ku KIux
must be regulated, or that they will regulate the
Southern elections more and mors hereafter
to suit themselves, and especially in 1872.
The present session, then, will probably ne
extended so as to cover this business of
Senator Morton's investigating committee
Otherwise there will be another added TO the
probabilities of an extra session under the
Presidents call.
This Ku Klux question seems to be small
affair in comparison with the Joint High Com
mission, the st. Domingo Commission and the
Darien Expedition; but if half or 1.-THE that
is said of these Ku Klux atrocities in the
Southern elections of the last year or two is
true, the suppression of such outrages against
law and order and negro suffrage becomes
also question of the first magnitude. Our
opinion has been, however, that we have had
enough of Southern reconstruction, and that
the remedies still needed in behalf of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments may be
safely left to time and experience. But
Senator Morton, from his investigation, may
know more upon this subject than we
know, and we await his report. We still hold,
however, that upon the three aforesaid grand
ideas of General Grants international and
commercial programme, he may find it expe-
dient before the end of the summer to call
an extra session of Congress, and should the
occasion, in his judgment, warrant it, let him
not hesitate, for the country will support him
in his call

THE PRESS AND OUg LIE cIsLAToRs. An
article in another column shows that ffty-ive
heavy land grant job bills were upon the
Speakers table in the House OF Representa-
lives early in the session, and that OF these
only two made their way through both houses
and became laws. This unusual honesty and
vigilance on the part of our Congressman is
To be attributed in a great degree, if not
altogether TO the influence Of an honest and
fearless press. The HERALD, early in the
session, showed up the character of these
swindles and number Of other intricate jobs
which no member Of the House but Mr. Dawes
would have had the patience to investigate,
and the House could not have acted otherwise
than II did in slaughtering them outright
There is great hope of honest legislation so
long as we have an honest nress.

REPEAL OF The TAX ON BONDS AND MORT
CAGES. We notice that bill has been intro
duced into cur Legislature to repeal the tax
on bonds and mortgages. This is to be re-
garded as wise and salutary measure. The
present tax on bonds and mortgages very
rarely falls upon the opulent property owner
or capitalist, but upon the poor man who is
obliged to raise money by mortgaging his
little estate or goods and chattels. The
repeal of the tax, therefore, will be great
relief to the many and impose no extra bur
den upon the few
