IS ZEE oFFIcE SEEKING Zee MAN ?


Our dispatches from Baton Rouge indi-
cate that if the Office is seeking the man
in that whilom capital, it is having most
perplexing and irritating time of it. Like
the stranger who lands in a populous city
from a steamer or a railroad train with his
baggage on one arm and his wife hanging
to the other, the mythical and personifed
''ofice at Baton Rouge, is met by the
half a hundred would-be drivers of the
people, each vociferously descanting on
the merits of his own crazy turnout KEEL
logg shouts to the bewildered applicant
that he is driver by special grace to his
most persistent highpess Ulysses L Bill
lings extols tbs merits of his gilded car
rage and highly FURNISHED trappings,
which, however, appears to be rather frail,
and created more for show than hard SER
vice. Mary cracks his whip and points to
his risky mule team, and one seated open
pheton, while Flanders attempts to call
attention to his heavy cid cart and oxen.
He is ''too slow" So say the dispatches.
Carter is on hand with his turnout, once
gray, but now changed to black and white,
with decided preponderance of the for
mer. Ray has a team which has a de-
cidedly tricky appearance, more attractive
to the reckless passenger than the sober
wayfarer. Policeman Packard is on hand
to preserve order, but as we often see in
such cases, makes more noise and fuss
than the swell mob of whips, whom he at
tempts to control. He displays strong
preference for the government team, and
does his level best to get a fare for KEEL
logg. Hundreds of other little fellows are
crowding around with hand barrows, who
knowing they have no chance to get the
passengers, clamor loudly for the baggage.
It is more than likely that the object of
all this solicitude will become disguised
and give up the search, shake the dust Of
Baton Rouge from his sandals and pay US
a visit here on the first Monday in August
This leads Us to raise the question whether
the mythical parsonage will much longer
seek for any man in Baton Rouge, for it is
traditional with him that those who seek
him with loud cries and vauntings of their
own merits are unworthy of him. When
the Office seeks the man it is ali orderly
and satisfactory When fourth Of the
people Of the State clamor for the Office
it is babel-a pande monium--a Baton
convention.

SAVE ME FROM MY FRIENDS. I"

If the men who are endeavoring to avoid
the payment of taxes and ruin the credit
of our city and State by grossly misrepre-
senting and exaggerating their indebted
ness, are to be regarded as friends why
then both New Orleans and Louisiana
have reason to exclaim, ''Save me from my
friends" We apprehend that the greed
and stupidity of such men are doing more
to embarrass the financial condition of
city and State and cripple the business
prospects of our people generally, but
more particularly of the merchants, me-
chanics and laboring men of New Or
leans, than bad government. Oppres-
sive taxation has not prevented wide
awake and enterprising men from ae-
cumulating wealth in the midst of
the ''hard times" they have the audacity
to complain of and impute to bad govern
ment One of this class of men in par
ticular, continues to accumulate wealth
without the employment of much capital,
skill, labor or enterprise. He has made
himself rich by simply selling soda water
and cakes to people who have more greed
for these little delicacies than money. 1t
is quite possible that a large number Of
the complaining taxpayers may be of those
who have spent too much money for deli
cacies Of one kind or another-for soda
water and cakes are not the only dellaacies
that money is sometimes too lavishly paid
out tor-and for that reason we do not
wish to ne understood as saying that the
sale OF these articles has been the only
source Of "hard times to those of our people
who complain the loudest about oppres-
sive taxation. Other delicacies, in the
shape Of choice wines, liquors, cigars, bill
lizards, ten-pins, fast horses, fast women,
a tustle with the tiger" or a pleasant
little game of poker, may have something
to do with the 'hard times" that afiict
people A ''fat kitchen" has been known
to cause hard times in family Idleness
is another great bane of society, and is
the cause OF many persons being doomed
to see hard times. People who are ad-
dicted to extravagant living and idleness,
and live way beyond their means, are never
ready to pay taxes, be they high or low.

"The convention fell into mob, and

s'The convention fell into a mob, and
then adjourned is the result of yester-
days proceedings at Baton Rouge. The
vote for a conference with the Pinchback
convention was an idle one, involving
waste of time, as Packard must have
known would be the case when he intro
duced the proposition that the committee
on conference should only negotiate or
hold any conference with the Pinchbaek
crowd after they had abjured the Cincin-
matt movement and Governor Warmoth,
swallowed Grant, Wilson and the Calling
gun convention, including Jim Ingraham
and J. Henri Burch, and gone down on
their knees generally. An extraordinary
exhibition Of frmness on the part of the
other convention, by which the insulting
terms were spurned, left Packard nothing
to do but to go on scratching off the
names of Pitt Kellogg's enemies, and in
serting others Of more subservient sort.
And thus ended the third day.

The faith of the State is pledged to the
payment of the outstanding registered
warrants, and it is also pledged that these
warrants shall draw interest at the rate of
six per cent per annum until they are paid.
What sense is there, then, in the deprecia-
ton that at present prevails in respect to
these Yarrants2 Within two years, under
the provisions of the funding bill, all the
existing registered warrants viii be with
drawn from the market, and the pur-
chasers of the same will not only get the
full value Of the paper that they are now
buying at fifty-eight cents on the dollar,
but they will have drawn twelve per cent
interest on the same. In other words, men
who pay five hundred and eighty dollars
for thousand dollars worth of warrants
to-day, will get back in two years eleven
hundred and twenty dollars, or a little less
than fifty per cent interest on their outlay
While such speculations as this are lying
around loose, we do not wonder that all
healthy investments in real estate or manu-
featuring enterprises fail of securing help
from capitalists.

THE HARVEST OP RAIN:

Half-past four o'clock Friday afternoon,
and the rain still coming down. a pleas
ant, rumbling noise rises steadily up from
the water-pipe. The falling Of a gentle
stream in the cistern makes us think Of
Minnehaha. All of which is soothing to
the senses and productive of day dreams.
But there is a practical side to all this
fancy work. The rains will soon be over,
and then the dry season viii stretch out
before US during the sultry months until
October perhaps. Now is the time to
make hay, or, in other words, now is the
time to replenish the cisterns for the sum-
mer that Is before US. Providence helps
those who help themselves Rain water
is the healthisst beverage the people of
New Orleans can drink. They should
have it about the house all the time, as
Mrs. Toodles kept her door-plate with
Thompson's name upon it. In order to
do this the cistern in the yard should be

and while men like Mr. McClosky can
not be classed in this category, they range
with them in resisting the payment Of
taxes, denouncing government, and ruin
ing the public credit. MIR. McCloskey can
not honestly say that the present compar-
lively high rate of taxation has in the
least oppressed him. He has very snug,
easy little business, and by attending to
it properly, and not wasting the profits de-
rived therefrom, he is rapidly adding to
his wealth He can pay his taxes and
build new houses every year, while men
who live beyond their means can not. On
the contrary, they may be selling house
and lot every year to raise the means to
live on and pay their taxes. This is the
fault of their own bad government of home
affairs. The administration of city and
State governments might be the best in
the world and it could not save such men
from final bankruptcy and ruin.
Unfortunately, the civil war through
which our country recently passed, and
the changed condition of things, en-
bracing labor and capital in Louisiana,
have been the source of much of the evil
that is now upon large number of our
people. Under the institution Of slavery
they contracted habits of Incidence and
extravaganza that with many can not be
corrected in a day. Where our people
have had the good sense to realize at once
the full force of the change that had taken
place in their condition, and husbanded
up what means they had left and gone to
work, they are again on the road to pros
perity. Their property is not gradually
wasting away, nor are they unable to pay
their taxes
But there is great lack Of enterprise
among our people. Men who make their
money easy, and profess to have great re-
gard for the public interest do not branch
out into useful labors looking to the ma
terial advancement of our city and State.
There are many ways for men of means to
do this, and benefit themselves. while
adding to the wealth and growth of our
city and State. They can do it by enter
ing with spirit into railroad enterprises;
can do it by forming themselves into COM
panies, and building up large and varied
interest. There are many
things that ought to be manufactured
here with profit Our forests abound in
the best of material for the manufacture of
furniture, and our cotton and sugar fields
should render the establishment of sugar
refneries and cotton mills in our city re-
Manufactures for the
making of all kinds of farming
carts, carriages, ETC.,
could also be established here with great
profit, because the raw material for MAX
ng these things can be had cheap. A
few more sash and blind factories would !
pay handsomely-much better, perhaps,
han politics, which too many of our peo-
pie have a penchant for. Why even brick
making would be much better business
or men Of small caliber than politics.

J. @. A. Fellows has reformed the people
of New Orleans out of another handsome
sum of money. He won judgment in IA
vor of the Nicolson Paving Company be-
fore Judge Cooley's court last week which
has become executory because Of the negli-
gence of the attorney who represented the
city in not taking an appeal A contract
which the Supreme Court declared to be
null and void, and which the very law IN
der which it was made stamped with inval-
idity in respect to the city, Judge Cooley
has adjudged to be binding upon the peo-
pie of New Orleans. And no sooner had
the judgment become executory than BIr.
Fellows demanded his money out of the
treasury, into which he advises the people
to pay no taxes What do the Reformers
think of their Reform leader?

says the State is in bad way, and must
get out Of it either by electing the ticket
nominated at the Democratic convention
or by modifying matters. Colonel Bart
lett is big enough to tell the people what
they ought to do, and he should address
himself to the task. Claiborne parish
needs advice, not more statements of OBJ
