Since the Bulletin is in favor of repu-
diation, or rather since it seems to be in
favor Of that remedy for our present in
debtedness, it is not to be wondered at
that it demonstrates the necessity of dis
honoring our liabilities by proving that
the public taxes are so high the people
can not pay them, and therefore repudia-
ton is simply a necessity. Monday it
suggested that all the State debts might,
and probably ought, to be declared null
and void as having been contracted with
out consideration; and on Wednesday it
declared that the taxes to be imposed upon
the city of New Orleans for the current
year would be %forty-one millions of dol
lars, or at the rate of twenty-seven cents
on the dollar of all our taxable values.
This is preaching reputation, and prov
ing its necessity, for if the people could
be induced to adopt the morality of the
Bulletin, they would not hesitate about
the dishonesty of repudiating their honest
obligations; and if they once come to the
belief that the government intends to tax
them to the extent Of o~ne-fourth of their
property, they will throw honesty and
policy both overheard, and proceed to
cancel not only the debt, but the form of
government that permitted its creation.

hi ONE.MAN POWER.

The American people, in their collec-
tive form, have ever maintained a Jealous
distrust of the one-man power, or any
thing approaching to it in this country.
They believe in a proper concentration of
power for the safety of the country and
the administration of justice; and for
these purposes they have clothed the
President with much power, and they
hold him responsible for its proper use.
No President has ever yet attempted to
use the power delegated to him by the
people to force his continuance in Office,
nor until recently has the military arm of
the government been invoked to deter
mine political action. The late civil war
gave a latitude to military authority that
conflicts with the federal constitution.
But that latitude will not be tolerated by
the people in times of peace, when the
military must be subordinate to the civil
authority. If the d~isgraceful scenes that
occurred in the Customhouse in this city
last August, at the instigation of federal
officials, are to be recognized as right by
the continuance Of their perpetrators in
Office, the use of federal bayonets upon
that occasion becomes not only out
rageous to the civil government of the
State, but to the people; both disgraceful
and outrageous, from the fact that the
President, who has the power of rebuk-
ing the fragrant wrong, does not see
proper to exercise it in indicating a
great principle of Republican govern
ment. 1t will not do for President Grant
to disregard entirely the existence of
State governments. This would be q
concentration Of power in the person of
the President that can neither be sus-
tanned by law nor public approval. While

some measures are taken, the prospects of

Cotton has advanced ~-nuar of

from previous numbers, and probabilitie.
point to seven thousand bales as the sales
yesterday.
Gold sales are rapidly decreasing, and a
present the root Of all evil is a modicum

Money is easy, and, except upon Satur
days. tightening every day.
Foreign exchange is without notion
"idle as a painted ship upon a painted
ocean,"
Domestic exchange is pronounced on the
decline.
For some reason a new activity has been
infused into the business of selling stocks.
Large sales were transacted, over 1000
shares having been disposed of by one per
son. A notable rise in Sugar Shed stock.
which had so long been lowering about SIS.
and it Immediately went up twenty-five per
cent, owing. no doubt, to the opening of the
sugar season, and the great movement in
this product, which, of course, increased
the receipts of the sheds. A visible i'm
provement in Lottery stock over previous
quotations, but we have heard of no sales
that are to be reported, one being private
terms. 1t is the decision of the Supreme
Court in favor of the company, affirming
the constitutionality Of the law and settling
the validity Of the franchise that has pro.
duced this sudden change for the better.

ANOTHER STAB AT THE CITY.

One of the plainest evidences of tn,
enmity of the Bulletin to the city of New
Orleans, was published in very large type
l n that paper yesterday. As a sensational
statement, the size of the type very nearly
corresponded with the dimensions of the
unfounded story which they were used ia
print. The extent of this anin.osity NAV
be determined when we inform the people
that the Bulletin gravely asserts that their
taxes for the ensuing year are to be forty
n millions Of dollars; and as if to leave
no room for doubt about its wicked design
to destroy the city ofNew Orleans, it pre-
tends to mention the items Of expendi-
tire which will justify the assertion that
taxation to the extent of ~forty-one mil
lions of dollars will be necessary in order
to provide for the public expenditures
contemplated by the city government.
1t is useless to follow the Bulletin
through its scandalous list of appropria-
tons, possible and impossible, as the
mere mention of the final conclusion that
the city is to be taxed ~forty-one million
dollars in a single year is of itself sufi-
Gent to prevent any reasonable citizen
from falling into the belief which the RE-
tended organ of our commercial interests
seeks to promote. But We can not allow
the occasion to escape without submitting
another protest against these malicious
and wicked suggestions. The world may
very properly refuse to patronize, or even
to visit u city when it shall deliberately
read in one of our " local and preten-
tious organs that we are taxed annually
to the extent of one-fourth of our en-
tire property. And renewed doubt is
fully justified as to the ability of any
to pay its bonds or satisfy the
interest on its public debt, with such
taxation as this consuming their
substance. 1t seems almost ridiculous
to notice such groundless and sensational |
as those which appeared in the
Bulletin Yesterday, for they seemed to us
more like the calculations of a lunatic
than the rational u~tterances of an &C.
cepted authority in politics and COM
MERGE. But since it is possible for GER
:ain parties to assert and obtain credence
|or the most extraordinary stories, it be-
zones our duty to deny this latest and
Munchausenism, in order to let
t be seen that not even by our silence are
to be entrapped into lending counte-
lance to any such inventiveness,

able and willing to preserve order and
maintain the hvfairightsrof citizens, 1t
is wrong for the federal government to
allow the use of its soldiers to determine
the political action of any portion of the
people. This would be an Infringement
OF States rights the popular voice
throughout the country would condemn;
and though it might be intended by the
residents partizans to favor his con-
tlnuance in power, it would be the
surest mode that could be adopted
for hurting him from authority. The
men who resort to these means to serve
the President are imprudent, if not un-
worthy citizens of the republic. They
are certainly unworthy of public place at
the hands Of an honest President. No
party in the country would dare go before
the people and advocate the use Of the
military in the conduct of civil elections,
and the precedent that has been given by
federal officials in this city should have
secured their removal as Don as the Presi-
dent was made aware of the outrage they
lad committed, not only upon State au-
thority, but upon the preliminary politi-
cal action of the Republicans of the
State. The continuance of these men in
office has given the opponents Of the Re-
publican party grounds for asserting to
the people that a Republican Congress
and a Republican President are working
to overthrow our free institutions; that the
President means to become emperor or mil
itary dictator, and that one-man power is
to finally rule this country. While we have
no fear of any such catastrophe, we are
satisfied that the conduct of federal Off
Gals in introducing federal soldiers in a |
political convention, and the holding of
the convention in a United States Custom
house, unless disowned in the proper way,
will injure the Republican party with the
If the party is seriously divided
upon the subject, which is hard to believe,
and the President is determined to rest
his fortunes with those who have inaugu-
rated a very questionable and dangerous
mode of interfering with popular elec-
tons, it renders much more doubtful than
are wont to think who will be elected
President in 1872, particularly if Presi-
lent Grant should succeed in getting q
for reelection through any
such influences as are brought to bear.
