A SQUARE TALK DANGEROUS.

Every suggestion or sentence which
Governor Warmoth utters is at once
seized upon as indication of some hidden
purpose in favor of or against some man
or measure. Because he made the very
rational remark to body of Congress
men that Congress ought to have done as
much for the committee which was sent
to Louisiana to inspect that the levees as
did for the committee that it sent into
Alabama to look after the Ku-Klux, it is
at once decided that he is determined to
pick quarrel with Grant, and go back
on the Republican party. Let US see.
The levees are of national importance;
they protect white and colored people
alike; they were injured by the nation, and
the people Of Louisiana are too poor to
repair them as they ought to be
repaired; and their overthrow will carry
loss and ruin to thousands of citizens.
Is it not quite as material to Congress,
then, to protect thousands of people from
the ravages of the food as it is to protect
three or four hundred from the violence
of the Ku-Klux? The Governor does not
oppose the investigation which is made in
the interest Of peace and order, but he in
Inmates that some of the money which is
to be expended in finding out how often
and how badly We have been ku-kluxed
might be better employed in seeing how
much and how thoroughly we are drowned.
Congress is in want Of information, and
because the Governor plainly tells it
wherein it has made mistake, he is at
once accused of an intention to desert the
Republican party. According to this
idea it will be unlawful to tell the truth
soon

LICENSES.

Several of our contemporaries have
taken shy at the license question, and
none OF them have hit the mark. That is
to say, they are wide Of it, as We under
stand it.
A license is tax on person who en-
cages in an occupation, not upon his
capital, income, property, profits or ear
nings. The license ordinance under re-
view by the press imposes tax of one
hundred dollars upon each person,
whether connected with firm or not. who
is engaged in publishing or printing q
daily newspaper. As there is a difference
in law between commercial partnership
and an incorporated company, the law is
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-11-18

not applicable alike. For instance, the
Bee is published ~ . commercial arm or
partnership, composed of two or more
members, each Of whom is liable 70 the
license tax of one hundred dollars. The
Bulletin is published by an incorporated
company, which is recognized by law as .
person. unit, and possesses the rights
Of an individual, to the extent of acquir-
ing and holding real estate. A CONNER
cial firm can not hold real estate under
our laws. In case purchase Of this de-
scription is made, each partner is held to
be the owner of an undivided share, equal
to his interest in the firm. -,.
Without discussing the question
whether it is proper or legal to impose
iscense tax upon newspaper publishers
at all, We maintain that the ordinance
complained of is not defective because it
imposes an equal tax on the persons en-
gagged in the business without reference
to the magnitude of the capital employed,
or the result; for the constitution requires
the license tax, as well as the tax on prop
erty, to be equal and uniform. To be
equal and uniform, the tax imposed must
be the same upon all who engage in the
particular profession or calling taxed,
without reference to the abilities, for
tunes or successes of those engaging in
business taxed. The tax imposed is for a
license to carry on a business or occupa-
ton. 1t is the price exacted for the priv
ilige to pursue a profession, trade or oc-
cupation. An ordinance, therefore, which
fixes unequal taxes upon persons pursu-
ing the same occupation would be uncon-
stitutional and void.

A FRACAs AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The Times yesterday morning published
the following letter from Professor Boyd.
superintendent Of the Louisiana State
University at Baton Rouge, which was
written to a gentleman in this city. 1t
relates and explains the particulars of a
recent unfortunate occurrence at the uni
versity, growing out of an excessive love
of fun on the part of the students and an
unwillingness to tell tales against others
or to criminate themselves.
It appears that on Saturday night
several of the students, names and num-
Der unknown to the professors, made a
raid on the belfry of the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum and removed the bell. The noise
Of this bell is alleged to have been con-
slant source Of annoyance to the cadets,
while the deaf mutes, naturally, did not
mind il. They conld not hear its irritating,
nerve shaking vibrations. It is mystery

If it is not asking too much at one
time, We hope that such of our contem'
poraries as have given currency, with
some uncharitable remarks, to the
trumped up charges against Captain
William vigers, will now do that gentle.
man the justice to give their readers the
upshot of the case.
No sooner had Mr.. Gutenberg, the
District Attorney, Strengthened out his
testimony, so that he could see what il
amounted to, than he at once abandoned
the prosecution. Judge Abel instructed
the jury to bring in a verdict Of acquittal,
which was accordingly done at once.
Bring on another charge.

THE CITY HALL.

Tiers We : private meeting IN the
Mayors pallor yesterday, commencing at
twelve O'Clock, and continuing. without IN
Permission, up to quarter past two.
The applicatiens from outsiders for ad'
mission were numerous and constant.
though none but thsfayored few we're en-
abled to penetrate the charmed circle.
Pages and call boys frequently passed In
and out, bearing messages and secret tokens,
as mysterious as the Skyline Caves, while
the clink of glasses heard ftfully through
the Venetian shutter of the inner door,
made it manifest that the city fathers were
not having husky time of it.
1t was at first surmised that there was
meeting Of the Citizens Association on
hand, but this proved to be incorrect, the
meeting being called for the purpose OF
considering the budget for the ensuing
year.
At the City Hall yesterday many citizens
were gathered in little knots and coteries,
discussing the forthcoming investigation
by the Citizens Association of city affairs.

topic, and as the Mayor and Administrator
Shaw are prominent as advocates Of that
policy, it was suggested that they inau-
gurate the reform movement by reducing
their own salaries.
The Mayor being an economical man in
his domestic habits, and not much given to
charities, either private or public, it was
thought would not strenuously object to hav-
ing his salary cut down from $500 to
about $4,000 But Mr. Shaw being Of q
genial and social disposition, fond of the
good of this life, and taking pleasure in
seeing his particular friends enjoy them
also, might think it hard to vote for re-
ducing his pay to $4,000.
