LAYING OUT WORK.

While the committee Of ffty-one was
sub-dividing itself into minor inquisitions,
why did it omi: to apportion lively por-
ton of itself to investigate and report up
on the amount Of debt which the present
city government had to assume on behalf
of the elective administration which it su-
perceded? This is department Of curl
osities that ought not to be left without
being looked into for the committee will
want the entire facts about the origin of
our public burdens before it can make up
a Judgment as to who is to blame The
people of New Orleans are entirely ignor-
ant of what preceded the existing order of
things, for, previous to Reconsideration OF
the present government, the official pro-
ceedings gave But very meagre detail of
what was done, and who did it, in the
municipal government. At present the
entire working of the corporate authorities,
and the reasons for the same, are
fully disclosed in the official publication
made regularly in these columns every
Wednesday morning, even the minutest
appropriation being mentioned and ad-
vertised to the public before being made,
accompanied by the remarks of the Ad-
ministrators as to its justice and pro-
priety. This is amply sufficient informa-
ton as to the later appropriations by the
Council, and the committee can hardly
improve upon what Mr.. H. c. Clarke has
done in the matter Of explaining the de-
tails Of the corporate authorities; but as
to the old proceedings, and how the gov
eminent was run III the good old Demo-
cratic days, We are at such a loss to tell
that we can not withhold the suggestion
hat the committee Of tfty-oue ought
to investigate and discover to the pub
lie the secret thereof. How was it
that the old City Council left the school
teachers in arrears eight months, the
street laborers four months. the public

A SMALL AFFAIR.

The capture of Saltillo is very small
affair to be made so much of in the United
States. Revolutions in Tamaulipas and
Nuevo Leon never disturb Mexico, as these
States are too widely separated by noun
tains and deserts from the heart of the
country to have any influence in deciding
events at the capital. Saltillo is small
city in Tamaulipas, and its defense or fall
is OF no consequence except to its own
people, who generally have to pay the ex-
penses of the party that obtains control
over its public square. 1t has been lost
and won forty times, and it's present occu-
pants are more eager to obtain possession
of the city of Matamoras than they are to
assail President Juarez. Trevino will now
assemble his battalions and march upon
Matamoras, in order to obtain possession
OF the customhouse at that point, which
is always the objective point with all the
Rio Grande rebels. Once in charge of
the customhouse he will offer terms to

that it would be a good thing to get rid
of them, for they are always creating
trouble and making expenses without at
fording any benefits in return. She
usually lets them fight their own local
quarrels to a settlement, without inter
fering on either side, satisfied that when

then it will be time to arprehend danger

bills, water rates, charities, etc., are
counted up in advance and added to the
cost OF his goods, and charged for against
the purchaser. He is not out dollar,
but it is added to his expense list and
charged in the cost of his merchandise,
with interest at the rate Of ten per cent,
and the annual profit is counted upon all
these sums. Merchants usually estimate
that their capital, which means not only
their personal labor, but all the outlay to
which their business is subjected, must
pay them from ten to twenty-five per cent
profit each year; and, from the beginning
OF the business season, on the first of Oc-
tober, to its close, about the first of June
they continue to pile up profits on every
dollar which they spend. Consumers pay
the gross expenses of every business house
in New Orleans and they pay interest to
the merchant on every dollar which his
business costs him in the shape of taxa
ton, isenses, insurance, rent or other
outlay.
Asmost of the committee of tifty-one are
men of business, it is plain then that they
are not taxpayers. And since they are
not Of the class that bear the burdens of
which they make such loud complaint, it
was only just and proper that they should
tax themselves small sum in order
that they might really feel the evils of
taxation. This is not the first funeral at
which onions have been used to produce

GOOD NEWS FOR TEACHERS.

Notwithstanding the fact that the cit,
Of New Orleans has been unable to con
tribute its share Of the expense for keep
ing up the schools, there is now fail
prospect that no more than two months
pay will be due tie teachers on the frs,
Of January.
We publish in another place the ap-
portionment made by Superintendent
Conway for the quarter ending the first OF
December, 1871. The total amount to be
disbursed foots up over eighty-three thou
| sand dollars, of which New Orleans will
receive enough to pay two months.
The salaries for November and October
will be paid on Saturday. On the first of
the new year. therefore, the pay for Sep
TENDER and December only will be in
arrears
The State Superintendent has, with the
advice and consent of the Governor and
other State officers. managed the school
fund judiciously, SO that the educational
institutions, now numbering about seven
hundred in the country and sixty or sew
enty in the city, have been maintained,
with a large increase in the daily attend
ance. We are informed that this increase
in this city amounts to fully thirty per
cent.
Il will be the duty Of the next General
Assembly to provide more adequate
means for raising money for the city
school fund. No one, who is not half
barbarous, or wishes his neighbours chill
dren 20 grow up in ignorance, will con-
sent to have our school system destroyed.

is done during the coming session to re-
l!eve the schools from the financial en-
bafrassments which appear to have be-.
come chronic. such results may be ex-
pec.ed It has become fashionable of late

SIMULATED GRIEF.

Il would be interesting to ascertain to-
day, if that could be done to nicely, how
the committee of tifty-one feels since its
members have assumed the onerous posi-
ton Of taxpayers for the first time. They
are now in a position to sympathize with
the ''hewers of wood and drawers of
water" because they have at last achieved
the honorable distinction of being as
sessed something for the public good,
perhaps, which they can not shove off on
somebody else. The twenty-five dollars
which the members of the committee
taxed themselves in order to raise fund
for their treasury can not be added to the
price Of the goods which they intend to
sell this week, without costing more labor
than the amount will pay for. If the
public VIII run over the names Of the
committee it will discover that there is
hardly a genuine taxpayer to be found
in the number, because the trader,
commission merchant, factor. wholesale
dealer broker or other active bust
ness man never pays tax or a
license that he does not at once
charge to his customers Take the mer-
chant as an illustration, and all his ex-
penses in the way of rents, licenses, taxes,
clerk hire, drayage, freight bills, travelling
expenses, commissions to drummers, gas

whereupon the lively ex-president of the

Stephens that these Republican voters are

is highly probable he Will discover his
