THE CITY SCHOOL TAX.

Before the war of rebellion the public
schools in the city Of New Orleans were
indirectly under the control of the city
councils, by whom the boards Of directors
were appointed. The necessary expenses
Of the schools were paid by the city
authorities, and the funds therefor We're
raised by taxation on city property, accord
ing to authority vested in the corporation
by the Legislature OF the State. The
amounts necessary to support the schools
were estimated yearly BY the board of
directors.
There is, then, no essential difference
between the former method Of support
ing the public schools and that which the
present law proposes. In both cases the
fupds are raised by taxation on property,
and in both cases the taxes are levied by
the city authorities, while equally in
both cases the amount necessary is esti-
mated by the school directors.
The stand taken by the Times in rela-
ton to the question Of the city public
schools, is ridiculously inconsistent. 1t
speaks Of ''the enozmity Of the claim of
a board of school directors appointed by
Thomas w. Conway to fix and determine
the tax fo- the public schools. In the
next line it says, mo one denies the right
Of this board to fix and determine the
amount it may deem necessary to carry
on the schools" Everybody in the city,
except the Times, knows that the direc-
tors are not appointed by Mr.. Conway,
and it is a curious kind of reason
that needs unfounded assertion to
help 1t out. The right which,
the Times says, mo one denies" the right
to fix the amount deemed necessary to
carry on the schools, is all the right that
the board claims to exercise. The tax

the royal mandate, and their arrest was
promptly ordered by the crown. The pun
ishment for contumacy in this respect is
Punishment, and when it is recollected
that some of the most illustrious and pow
erful men in Spain are comprised among
the disobedient, it will be seen that what
we predicted long ago, and what we still
predict, is rapidly advancing to verlf1ca-
ton in the development of new revoiu-
ton in Spain. If the king fails to enforce
his ocder he will weaken his influence
and bring into contempt his authority
If he goes on, the fate OF Macmillan can
only be avoided by fight.
