City Charter.

By the City Charter tax on all
property in the city subject to taxa
ton, not to exceed oNE-TwELFTH of one
per cent. is authorized. There is now
being collected oNE-HALF of one per
cent. or six times the amount authoriz-
ed by law. Are the tax payers pre-
pared to submit to this robbery? Will
they quietly yield to this illegal de-
mand of a combination of Radical ap-
pointees who only want the money
that they may apply it to their own in
dividual use? We are not advised as
to whether this robbery is directed by
the City Council, or whether it is the
dictation of J. W. Glenn, who claims
to be Mayor and the man who is now
compelling the payment of this money.
A majority of the board of alder
men as it is now organized, are honest
men and will do right. If the council
is responsible for this plunder, then we
call upon Aldermen Robinson, Eggles
ton, Brueggerhoff, Buaas, Bremond and
Mussina, to come to the rescue of the
people, and stop these thieves aud rob
bers from further stealing of the hard
earnings of the tax oppressed citizens

A Contrast.

The theory of the Democratic party
is that all persons, magistrates and peo-
pie, officers and citizens are bound by
limitationsa and entitled to the benefits of
the guarantees of the Constitution.
The theory of the Radical party is
that in the administration of the State
Government, the Legislature is not
bound by, limited, or controlled by any
of the provisions of the Constitution.
These liberal guarantees were pur-
chased with the lives of patriots and
our people have ever looked upon them
as the palladium of their liberties.
Texans, are you prepared to surren-
der into the hands of official tyrants,
the right of trial by jury; and in Grim
inal persecution the right to a speedy
public trial by an impartial jury
security in your house against all seiz
ures or search, except on warrant
founded on affdavit-the right to the
privileges of the writ of habeas corpus,
the right to keep and bear arms in
the lawful defense of yourself; the
right to assemble together in peace
able manner for your common good; the
right to have all laws contrary TO those
Constitutionally guaranteed provis-
ions declared void? Are you prepared
to submit to unjust and illegal taxa
tion to sustain in their stolen luxury
a corrupt and bloated band of public
thieves, who are rioting on the money
they are stealing from you, and claim
iEg to have control of your State
Government? Are you prepared to
surrender all your ancient rights and
become abject slaves to corrupt and
groveling tyranny? If not, then come
to the polls and aid in wrestling from
our oppressors their ursurped power,
and restoring our State to good gov
ernment, peace and order.

killing at BastrOp.

We learn from gentleman jus from
Bastrop the following particulars of
the difficulty there on Monday evening
after the voting was over. A son Of
Mr.. Frank Yoast got into fight with
a negro, when Mr.. Yoast rode up and
drawing his pistol demanded. a fair
fight, threatening to shoot any one who
interfered. Messrs. Green and Burlc-
son did interfere and separated them,
when Sheriff Jung and a policeman at
tempted to arrest Frank Yoast, who
was fred at from behind by Mr.. War
ner another policeman. Yoast then
fred three shots, his six shooter having
only three loads in it, killing Warner,
but only striking the clothes of jung
and the other policeman.
Mrs. Halter, lady subject to hemor
rhage of the lungs, came out of a
house near by and becoming excited
from hearing or seeing the difficulty,
on returning to her house, fell on the
steps and in about half an hour after
wards died from internal bleeding.
A Mr.. Procop and machinist were
shot and wounded in the legs and hiE
accidentally by the deceased police
man when firing at Yoast.

but nothing to do with the Occurranct
which was caused by mean whisky

"RadIcaI robbery,

Under this head the Washington
Patriot shows that under the admin
istration of Governor Bullock, State
bonds of the State of Georgia to the
amount of forty-fVe millions of dol
lars have been issued. The public
debt of the State, including all bonds
issued before 1869, was Sc, ,554, ,450.
1t is now no less than fifty millions
seven hundred and thirty-seven thou
sand four hundred and fifty dollars!
(s5O,4S7,45O.)
Says the Patriot: "The facts pre-
sented by Mr.. Angar, the treasurer of
the State, before the committee of
investigation here Gin Washington
city, are astonishing, and reveal sys-
TEN of plumber, deep in audacity. de-
fiance of Law, and contempt of public
opinion, exceeding any thing yet exhibi.
ted, outside Of South Carolina" When
we examine these revelations, and re-
member the education and spirit of the
people, who have zbeen thus pillaged
by band of political highwaymen,
the question is natural, how they
have borne such thieving tyranny in
tranquility? If tenth part of these
iniquities had been attempted in any
Northern or Western State popular
uprising would have been inevitable.
And the highest proof that peace has
been preferred to violence, at any
sacrafce, is that Bullock, Blodget,
Cameron, Delano, and others, have
entered Into a new conspiracy, by
which the State will be robbed OF
half million year for their personal
profit. Verify the Radical rule in
Georgia and Texas are of a piece.
We hope these exposures may lead
to the total overthrow of these corrupt
public plunderers. So be it. ...

The Allegan iMich.l Demoera

The Allegan (Mich.) Democrat,
says:
Texas is one of the most mis- gov
erned States, at the present time, in
the Union. The taxes there are very
high; the rnlers are incompetent
and venal, and the only thing that
keeps the State from being utterly
impoverished is the fertility and ex-
tent of its soil. A negro named
Gaines, now a State Senator, who is
ambitious of a seat in Congress, in
recent speech thus coollyannounces
why the taxes were so high:
"Much is said about taxes, and
the Democrats say they are groanine
under them. Glad of it. Let them
groan. l have got $4,000 worth Of
property, and 1 like to pay taxes OF
it. It's my privilege. You cam
buy any land. They won't sell it tc
you. Your old masters didn't give
you any land or horses. The Units(
States failed to eonfscste them, anC
the Constitution failed too. Therr
is no way left but to tax and sell, 81
as to get cheap homes. If there j
any virtue in taxation, We viii ia;

THAEKs.-We are under obligations
to Mr.. j. W. Fleming, of San Saba
county, for the interest he has taken
il behalf of the STATESMAN. Through
his efforts we now have over thirty
subscribers in that county, with the
promise that this number will be
doubled before many weeks. When
such men as Fleming give this evi-
dence of their appreciation Of our
efforts in the Democratic cause, we are
encouraged to go on, for we know we
are right. No purer Democrat, and no
more influential man lives in that sec
tion than j. W. Fleming.

Our city Taxes.

We would most respectfully call the
attention of the Mayor and Aldermen
of our city to the assessment now be-
ing made by our city assessor upon all
city property. We would like to know
by-What authority he assesses property
at its present value, when our charter
says in article twenty five, that the
value of property on the first Monday
In January. of each year, shall govern
the years assessment, or rather that
the assessment shall be made at that
time. We would also suggest that
our city charter be strictly construed
and that only one twelfth of one per
ceLt, instead of one half of one per
cent. should be the amount of city tax
assessed.
The late report of our Mayor was a
masterly one-a perfect masterpiece I
He deserves gre at credit for it; and
the Aldermen are the right men in the
right placesbut will they please explain.
this city tax so that citizens may not
suffer this great imposition. We al
ready are taxed most heavily, ,and to be
forced illegally to pay money ont of
our pockets to support city policemen,
State policemen and State guards who
are used as instruments of oppression,
is indeed hard.
When We look at the past use of the
money paid into the city treasury as
we'll as into the State treasury, it
seems that our people should be most
vigilant of their rights Shall we
quietly submit and pay unjust taxes,
and support standing army in time Of
peace, and thus perpetuate the odious
and tyrannical party now in power?

The "New Departure .

The question is sometimes asked by
those who have not read the paper,
'TIs the DEHOcRATIe STATESMAN a New
Departure Journal?"
Upon that subject our answer is
short, plain and to the point-nol
This paper is PLANTED on the Demo
cratic Platform adopted by the general
convention which met at the city Of
Austin, January %, 1871. There is
no such idea or expression in it. We
can neither be begged, nor driven into
any kind of departure from it.
In fighting the common enemy, an
invitation is extended to all good men
whatever may have been their past
political preferences, to unite with the
Democratic party in removing from
place and power those who now control
the State Government, in order to re-
lease the people from oppressive reve-
Rue and unequal taxation, to insure an
honest administration of the laws and
an honest and economical expenditure
of the public moneys and to throw the
egis of justice and protection over the
person and property of every indivi-
dual whatsoever in the State Of Texas"
in the language of the platform itself
We fight standing on that platform,
and most earnestly desire that every
good man within the broad limits of
the State, will come to our help, and
the help of the Democracy, to aid in
putting a stop to the vice, demoraliza-
ton, and crime, now daily, if not
hourly, perpetrated by the thieves
robbers, and cutthroats, who in one
shape and another control the State
Government. As Democratic paper,
we support the Democratic party as
now organized in Texas, on the plat
form before mentioned, adding nothing
thereto-taking nothing therefrOm.
A strong, interruptions and vindietive
enemy, is in our front, our blows are
at him. We have no quarrel with
friends. The platform is our common
ground, five act together our united
strength will surely overcome the foe.
When the victory has been won, it will
be time enough to discuss what shall,
or shall not go into, and make part of
the next platform, State and National.
When such platforms shall be adopted,
this paper will be found standing 'fat
footed ON them, and working with all
it's power to achieve success for the
party, and upholding its standards.
