sENsELEss OR DISHONEST.

Really the absurdest proposition which
the Bee has yet suggested, and the margin
here is very wide, was made yesterday
when itwickedly set out to assist a body
of spectators in depreciating the bonds
and warrants of the State and city by ad-
vising the people not to pay their taxes.
The endeavor Of the Bee was absurd on
many accounts, and it was wicked for one
prominent reason. First, it is stupid in
this, that it assumes the taxes are to 90
into the hands of the men who created the
indebtedness. No such thing The bonds
and warrants that have been issued
by the State and city are now scattered
in a thousand hands that had no part
in voting them into existence The legis-
lator who received his per diem, the
laborer who received his wages, the land
lord who received his rent, the stationer
who was paid his bill, all these men have
sold their warrants or are now innocent
holders of the same. If they were issued
in fraud the Bee never had the enterprise
or the honesty to advise the public Of
this fact, and the purchasers of this paper
took it upon the faith of the government
that was lawfully authorized to issue it.
To hold these innocent holders-many of
them poor school teachers and daily
laborers-as the authors of fraud in being

PUTTING OFF THE EVIL DAY.

Death and the tax collector must be met
sooner or later; and though every day
saved from the former is a clear gain, it is
Just the reverse with the latter. His debt
fattens on time, and even admitting that
those who postpone payment, as our So
called Reformers advise, may obtain in de-
tense legal counsel for nothing (Which in
this case is about its WORTHY, yet they can
not free themselves from the Ill effects
which such course must produce on the
community in general The foot can not
say to the head, 81 have no need of thee )"
and if, through the depreciation of the
city paper, every necessary expense OF the
government shall be doubled, on whom
will the expense fall at last?
Will the leaders of the reform move
ment" band together to make up the de-
fciency? Will the volunteer lawyers who
appreciate so justly the value Of their legal
services volunteer the contents Of their
purses as freely as they now do their brain
wealth for the benefit of the municipal
debt which their influence has helped to
create. Oh no. 1t will then be the turn
of the recusant taxpayer to shoulder the
difficulties of the situation, and we think
it likely that he will discover his non-tax-
paying enterprise to have been an expen-
sive experiment. The evil day must be
met, and the longer it is put of, the worse
it will be,

IMPORTANCE OF THE CINCINNATI MOVE.
MEET,

Is it not remarkable that the Cincinnati
movement embraces so many of the origin
ators Of the Republican party? We speak
not only as to national, but as to local
politicians. There is that great Radical
light of the East, Wendell Phillips; there is
Judge Davis, Mr.. Lincoln's old bosom
friend and law partner; there is Lyman
Trumbull, whose voice was among the ear
lest and strongest in advocacy Of Republi-
can doctrines; there is Senator Fenton. who
was able to beat the Democratic party in
two hotly contested struggles in New York
there is the persistent old veteran editor,
Mr.. Greeley, of the New York Tribune,
the man who beat Mr.. Seward and secured
the nomination of Lincoln in 1860; there
is Carl Shurz, who did more than any one
else to kill off Stephen A. Douglas;
there is Governor Palmer, of Illinois, who
was elected on the ticket with General
Grant in that State; there is B. Gratz
Brown, the Liberal leader in Missouri,
who, with his friends, made sharp fight
against the Grant arrangement in his
State, and won brilliant victory; there is
Pennsylvania popular war Governor,
Andrew G. Curtin, now Minister to Rus
STA; there is Senator Sumner, the cham
pion OF Radical principles, the great states
man of the American Senate; there is Gov
ernor Bradford, of Maryland; there is
Senator John Logan, of Illinois, the popu-
lar Senator whose heart thrills the souls
of all young American gentlemen; there
is Governor Walker, the Liberal leader
in Virginia; there is John G. Fremont,
the first standard bearer of the Republican
party; there is Samuel Bovles, editor of
the liveliest Republican paper in New
England, the Springfield Republican, and
Warrenton," the celebrated CORES
pondent Of that paper, there is Mr..
Godkin, the editor of the Nation, whose
voice is always loud and strong; there is
Governor Warmoth, Andrew jackson Ham
ilton, Thomas j. Durant, George A. Sher-
idan, the young Demosthenes of Louis
lana, and host Of others in the South,
whose voices have long been heard in the
South in favor Of Republican principles;
these are all in favor Of the Cincinnati Lib
eral movement. Time would fail US to
tell OF all the others, leaders of men and
advocates of sound Republicanism, who
favor the national Liberal movement.
We say that any movement inaugurated
by such men, at such momentous period
in the history of the country. is pregnant
with importance, aud must be treated as

Once more there is to be great event,

Once more there is to be great event,
and it will occur next Saturday at eleven
o'clock. 1t will not this time be the draw
ing of piano, but the drawing of single
number tickets in the Louisiana State Lot
terry. 1t may be that one lucky person will
draw the capital prize of $4,000, and if SO,
he or she will be very happy. Tickets are
only $40 each, and when it is considered
that there are but 10000 numbers, the
chances of Winning the capital prize are, it
will be seen, easily calculated. Suppose
our Mr.. Bates, which his name is Isaac, in
astead of buying an sllOO house and paying
$500 down, had bought twenty-five $50 tick
: cts in the Louisiana State Lottery, he might
have won the $4,000 prize, and thus be-
come eligible to membership of the associa-
ton to resist the payment OF licenses and
other debts. Then the disorganizers would
be happy.

The GRANTEES are sorely perplexed at
the waning fortunes of the Grant admin
istraton. An attempt has recently been
made in Washington to commit the House
of Representatives in favor of the Pres
ident, and it proved ''foolish fiasco. I"
After close canvass of the House for the
purpose of committing members in favor
of Grants denomination only seventy-four
could be induced to sign a paper to that
effect. This number was not thought suf-
ficient to make the project success, as it
is but little more than half the Republican
strength in the House. The GRANTEES
tried hard to gst a hundred Republican
members to indorse Grants denomination,
and failing in this, the attempt is pro-
nounced ssfoolish fiasco" by those who
are still hanging on to the skirts of the
administration.
The failure to commit respectable ma
jority of the Republican members of the
lower house of Congress to the pretensions
Of the present occupant of the White
House for second term, has had, it is
said, most damaging effect on his pros
poets for a reelection. It now thought
President Grant. could not obtain thirty
signers among members of the lower
House recommending his denomination.
If Grant stock continues to fall at this
rate the fate of the President at Phila-
delphia will be a cruel one.

very serious. To call these leaders 'bolt-
ers" and stsoreheads" does not weigh in
the balance sufficiently to cause candid
men to say, "It's of no importance" The
movement is very important, and it looks
as iflit may shape the destinies Of the
nation for several years to come. 1t will
not do to belittle it by sneers, nor to
ignore the importance which attaches to it.
Here in Louisiana the Liberal fever is
taking hold Of everybody, and it may be
that the movement will yet prove the
means Of correcting all our local misfor-
tunag

gent expenses had not been certified by
the legation in the usual form, and that in
stead of Senator Schurz being in default,
balance is still due him from the govern
ment.
A sense of justice should impel all hon
est papers that have circulated the SANDER
Gus report against Senator Schurz to cir
culate the truth in regard to the same for
the benefit Of the public. All honest
papers will do this when they are made
aware of the truth, while the dishonest
ones will continue to circulate the SANDER
for party purpose. r.s

EDUCATING DEMOCRATS.

It is an axiom that the stability of re-
publican institutions depends upon the
diffusion of knowledge among the masses
Accordingly, it may be said that the church
and the schoolhouse have risen side by
side in every town and village throughout
the length and breadth of our land-the
exceptions to this rule, and their causes,
being too we'll known to require mention.
1t is also well known fact, that in pro-
portion to the plentiness of public schools
has been the preponderance Of Republican
ism, whereas the spread of Democracy, in
its restricted sense has been commensu-
rate with the dearth Of general informa-
ton. Such being the case, the sagacious
Democrats Of our city, pining in the out
side GOODNESS to which the intelligence Of
our citizens has so long doomed them,
have thought fit to aim blow at our
public school system, through their insid-
ious non-taxpaying scheme. 1t is well
known that the public school teachers are
paid in city paper, which, under the pro-
posed plan, will so depreciate in value that
life cannot be sustained Oh the miserable
pittance to which teachers salary will
thus be reduced Many of the best teach
ers will therefore be compelled to adopt
some other occupation the zeal of the
rest will be cooled the schools will be
disorganized, or, at least, demoralized,
and thousands of pupils will quit them
never, perhaps, to attend school again.
They will, doubtless make all the better
Democrats for that, but they will not be-
come voters soon enough to profit the dis
organizers.

The hottest points in the country yester-
day afternoon were Leavenworth, Kansas,
and, Punta Rassa, where the thermometer
was up to $40. At Omaha, Memphis, Shreve-
port and Augusta it was S2o. 1t was $40 at
Baltimore, Cairo, Chicago, Davenport.
Nashville and St. Louis, when it was 75o in
New Orleans. This city seems now to be
one of the most cool and comfortable in
the United States.

The GRANTEES don't like Schurz because
he tells the truth and shames the devil.
His bold attacks upon the corruptions and
usurpations of the federal administration
have started its yelping bloodhounds upon
his track. They bark and snarl at him at
respectful distance, and attempt to
counteract his damaging exposures of the
shortcomings Of Grants administration
by heaping SANDER upon the object of their
hatred. A dispatch to the New York
Tribune, dated Washington, D. c., April
IS, says reports having been circulated
that Senator Schurz is in default to the
Treasury to the amount of five thousand
dollars, on account of his mission to
Spain, he called upon the Fifth Auditor
and ascertained that his account, like
many others, was kept open because the
last six months of his salary had not been
receipted for, and a small item of contin-

THEIR NATURAL ENEMIES.

10 starve out the enemy is species of
war tactics so old that it's origin is lost in
the mists of antiquity, yet SO efectual
that modern science has devised no plan
% supersede it. In fact, so far from fall
ing into disuetude, it use is about to be
transferred from the sanguinary hostii-
ties Of actual warfare to the bloodless, but
no less bitter strife of poltics-witness
the resolution of the Democrats of this
city to cut off the supplies of their natural
enemies, the police. We would not be I'M
derstood to say that all the gentlemen con-
cerned in the anti-taxpaying movement
are of such character as to regard the
police, those guardians of the public
safety, as their enemies. Far from
it. Many of these mistaken dabblers
in the mysteries Of politics are
undoubtedly quiet, law-abiding citizens,
returning at sunset to the domestic hearth
and the connubial pillow with the regu-
larity of barn-yard fowls. OF the same
sort are very large proportion of those
to whom they look for support in their
starving-out scheme. But behind all
these stand a swarm Of rufianly fellows
such as can not hear policeman's rattle
without an involuntary start, as if they
had been called by name. These are the
ones, and the only ones, who will profit
by the disabling of our police force. We
say disabling, but disbanding would, per-
haps be filter term But it is difficult
to see how the police force is to be main
tanned, or how its members are to support
themselves in the condition of financial
syncope which the Reformers propose,
and thus thousands of respectable fami-
lies, guiltless Of any participation in this
Ubiquitous scheme, may be left without
protection from the hordes of desperadoes
who will hasten to avail themselves of So
prOpltlous an occasion,

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

When it became known, yesterday, that
Mr.. Conway, Mr.. Shaw, Mr.. Walton,
Judge Dibble, and considerable number
of other leading officials and citizens.
were in consultation with the Governor on
the question of securing prompt pay to
the teachers of the city schools, the school
certificates rapidly increased in value. It
is now generally acknowledged that, not
withstanding the city's embarrassments,
the support needed for the public schools
must be secured at an early day. These
schools, it is well known, have had no new
city appropriation for their support for
two years past. The wonder is that they
have been kept alive.
