HOW Is THIS7

birds of feather flock together" says
the old adage. Any one having doubts of
the truth of the saying would have been
convinced if they had happened to have
business around the Office of the Collec-
tor of Customs, as friend of ours did
Yesterday. He is very shrewd observer
of men and things, and was astonished to
find that many of the boilers Of 1868 have
found favor with the collector, and were,
yesterday, collecting their pay for their
political services-for, certainly, they have
rendered no other. What bond of SYM
pathy is there between Casey and these
bolters?

Aristocracy is not exempt from unhap-
piness. Love is as hayward with princes
as it is with plebeians, and what is worse,
it is more public. The Princess Louiseis
out with her 'bonnie highland lord,
and the quarrel has gone SO far that even
Queen Victoria must needs break her rest
to pacify the discordant couple. Louise
has temper of her own, and Lorne has
way that loves to rule. The honey
moon is over, and the realities of life
have settled down on Castle Claremont
and it's brilliant lord and mistress This
is sorry news, for the world had made up
its mind that the marriage between these
two young people was founded on love
and soldered by an appreciated under
standing of each other. Queen Victoria
is likely to have her hands full of trouble
in the decline of her life, for none of her
children are mated happily, and they
give her great anxiety.

Mayor as Mr.. Flanders. And we know
of no good reason why the drainage tax
should be made the subject of unneces-
sary expenditure for illegal talent more
than any other. The fact that the Next
can Gulf Ship Canal Company approves
of an arrangement whereby our well paid
city officials are permitted to hire some
body else to do their work does not make
it right, unless the company wish to pay
Judge Walkers fees. We might as well
ask the Citizens Association or the
Knights of Pythias for their views on the
subject as the Mexican Gulf Company.
For all the latter cares about it, or can
have any interest in it, is to have the
money promptly collected and applied to
the payment of drainage bills. Has Mr..
Walker greater powers of persuasion than
Mr. Lacey or Mr.. NAPLES? Has he some
improved plan by which he can extort
money from unwilling taxpayers that is
unknown to the salaried lawyers of the
hall? Or does Mayor Flanders expect to
keep these professionals busy with his
own fussy cases?
We see in this move the beginning of
big job which bodies no good to the
taxpayers, nor yet to the city treasury.
And we hope the proposition will be re-
jected by the Council as being unauthor-
lied and unnecessary. There was too
much of this business of peddling out
the collection of taxes before the present
city government was engaged at fancy
prices to work reform. A return to the
old system, without abolishing the fat
! offices created by the new charter, will
entail uron the people all the burdens
and bad features of the old and new
systems without the expected benefits
| from the latter. We do not want to see
another lawyer employed by the city for
the next ten years. 1t would be better
| to dispense with few we now have.

honestly and fairly in the matter
of information as to where they
are to meet at twelve o'clock on
the ninth instant? Can the secretary
or president of the committee explain
this singular omission, which involves
the delegates in confusion, and places
them under grave suspicious? Have
they printed the call as it was written
and passed at the meeting of the State
Central Committee? What was their
object in emitting the place designated
by the resolution for the meeting of the
convention? Why did they not insert in
the call that the delegates were to meet
in the hall of the House of Representa-
tives? Have they a hidden motive
in seeking to bewilder the dele
gates :? Is the design in progress
of development to hold a boiling
convention, since it is altogether probable
that most of the genuine delegates will
report, as they have always done, at the
State House? 1t seems to US that fraud
is intended, and is clear that one has been
perpetrated in the omission to which we
have attracted attention. If Messrs.
Lowell, Packard, Herwig & Co. can COM
NIT suppression, they may be capable Of
organizing rebellion. 1t is, therefore,
of deepest interest to the delegates to un-
derstand that the State Central Committee,
when it resolved to hold convention, re-
solved to hold it in Mechanics Institute,
and as this is as much part of the pro-
ceedings as the call itself, the delegates
will feel under obligations to assemble
next Monday in the House of Representa-
tives; otherwise confusion and distrust
of their proceedings may result. And
they will no doubt resent the suppression
which Messrs. Packard and Herwig COM
mitted, which left them in doubt as to
their destination in the city.

AN INCREASE OF FORCE.

The evening Times gives US the follow
ing precious item Of news:
1t is proposed to turn over to Judge
Alexander Walker the collection of the
drainage tax, the city granting HIM the
privilege of instituting suits, and collecting
judgments in cases where payment is re-
fused. This step, it is said, meets the ap-
proyal of the Mississippi and Mexican Gulf
Canal Company, mainly interested in the
collection of the tax.
We have INDUCED in the fond illusion
that the city government is already rather
overstocked with legal talent, such as it
is. A City Attorney and three or four
aids, and an Assistant City Attorney with
another small corps of subs, ought to do
the legal work for even so ltigious

Suggests one paper that since the
Orange professions are distasteful to the
Hibernians, how would it do for both of
their tribes to discontinue their celebra-
tons? Would not this abstention pro-
duce peace? Suppose We alter this some
what, and suggest that as both parties
have the same rights, why can they not
be induced to respect each other in the
spirit of the prayer which says: "Do
unto others as you would have others do
unto your" This seems to be the Ameri-
can idea, but then we may not understand
American ideas as other men do who have
tried them on the high pressure principle.

REPUBLICANS, APPLY THE REMEDY

Republicans of New Orleans, it is evil
dent that the president of the State Cen
trail Committee has withheld from the
public the place of meeting for the State
Convention. He has so far complied
with the will of the committee as to order
the convention to be held, but has not
named the place or the hour of the meet
ing. We are therefore, in an anomalous
position. A State convention is ordered to
be held by the committee, without letting
the people know anything about the place
of meeting 1t devolves, therefore, upon
the Republicans of New Orleans to cor
rect the error and to supply the omission.
This can be best done by the Republican
masses, in a great meeting, called for the
purpose. We, therefore, call upon the
Republicans of New Orleans to assemble
at an early day, before the week is out
and, in a potential voice, proclaim the
place and designate the hour Of the meet
ing of the State convention. And while
we hold that the State House has been
named by the proper authority as the
place of meeting, yet, if the masses, when
assembled in response to our call, or even
the Central Committee shall name some
other place, We shall cheerfully acquiesce;
but until this is done, unless a great
authority shall change the place of meet
ing, we shall insist that the place named
by the Central Committee, but omitted in
the garbled call, whose authority we re-
cognize, shall be the one for the conven-
ton to meet in. There is no time for
delay. The convention is to assemble on
Wednesday, and the place has not been
designated. 1t shoa1d be, and that at
once. What do the Republicans of New
Orleans say? Shall the convention as
semble at Chef Menteur bridge, or at
some place on Upper Line street? We
cannot afford to let the subject remain in
doubt
Let the leading Republicans issue call
without delay, for the masses to assemble,
and relieve US from the uncertainty that
now besets US. For as the case now
stands, according to the lights afforded us
by President Packard and Secretary Her
wig, we do not know whether the Repub-
ican State Convention is to meet at the
place ordered by the committee or in some
dark room, the entrance of which is only
through some narrow, unfrequented alley.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in reply
to letter from the collector at San Fran
cisco, inclosing the application of party
for permission to enter six watches-imita-
tions OF Waltham watches-sent him from
e neva. says that under the act of March
3, 1871, the watches IN question can neither
be admitted to entry nor seized. In the
latter case, the forfeiture and sale would de-
feat the very object of the law, to wit: the
protection of the American manufacturer.
The collector is therefore ordered to direct
the applicant to give bond for the exporta-
ton OF the watches without the limits of
the United States.

Republicans of the State as the Registrar
of Voters under the reconstruction laws;
afterward Street Commissioner; then State
Registrar of Voters in 1868. He was the

diction of the collector, and there is not
