1t now transpires that the move
ment in New Orleans looking to re-
ststance of the collection of taxes was
inaugurated by brokers and specula-
tors in State warrants, who intended
to purchase largely of those securities
when deprecated in value, and profit
by the rise fhey would be sure to take
when the resisting movement had re-
suited in the failure it was certain to
DO. Perhaps it would be well for the
tax payers Of Ascension parish to con
slider if like motive of speculation is
not actuating some of the men who
are advising them not to pay their
parish taxes.
While the daily passenger train was,
proceeding upon its return trip to
