WE CALL For SPECIFICATIONS.

The Reformers coniine themselves to the
very easy task of pointing out one of the
evils that afflict the body polite, but they
are significantly silent about any proposed
manner of remedying it. We are in
formed every day what we already before
knew, that State, city and national taxes
are observation-disclosures almost unbear-
able. No attempt is made to look into
the causes Of heavy taxation, nor to give
US any assurance that they would be any
less bUrdensome with the Reformers in
office. More than two-third, of the tax
collected by the United States government
is applied to the payment of the interest
ana the reduction of the principal of the
public debt. The rest goes 70 deerav tho
current expenses Of the government.
About half Of the revenue derived from
state taxes goes to pay the interest on the
State debt. The city is in about the same
condition 1t is not necessary to inouire
into the origin of these three great debts
1t would not be specially profitable to some
OF our Reformers to have it known. The
rebellion was the cause, either Intimately
or remotely, of nearly all the national
debt and probably more than one-half of
that of the State and city. What inhu-
ence many of the Reformers had before
they changed their political designation
in kicking up the rebellion and creating
the necessity for running in debt they,
perhaps, best know. We do not now wish
to taunt them with their past errors. Grim
nation and rec,imination can not undo
tie terrible past. The dance is done, and
the fiddler must be paid. But we earnest
ly protest against laying the blame upon
the Republican party. That party did
not make war upon the national govern

The Washington Patriot an intelligent
journal, gives currency to this report of the
Customhouse bargain with Mr.. j. NJ. G.
Parker, who has been nominated to the
urveyorship:
As before stated, he is the present one
third owner of the New Orleans REPUBLICAN,
an anti-administration and Customhouse
paper. He agrees, in consideration of his
appointment as surveyor, to transfer his in
terest in the above paper to the National
Republican, the Grant organ of Louisiana,
and to give Onehalf of the salary and per-
quisites of his new Office to maintain the
last named paper, which, since the defeat
of the Casey wing by the antiadministra-
ton party. has been on its last legs. This
is another specimen of the Presidenl' 3
boosted civil service reform-with a ven
geance.

ment. But it came to its rescue with men
and money. Guiltless themselves of any
crime, or even error, the Republicans gen.
erously consent to share with their Of
tending fellow-citizens in the burdens that
followed the wild war dance. This they
will continue to do cheerfully. But they
think it comes with bad grace from the
Reformers to charge the whole blame of
the public burdens upon the parties least
to blame for them.
Again: Before these reformers can prop
erly be trusted with the direction of public
affairs they should submit detailed pro-
gramme Of their plans. Let them tell us
how they expect to tighten the burdens of
taxation. The interest on the public debt
is something that can not be diminished by
any experiments at economy. Thus, one
half OF the taxation is fixed beyond the
control of the State or city. There is but
very small margin in the other half for
the Retormers to build reputation upon
At least,w can not see wherein they would
be likely to make any very decided i'm
provements. We are ready to listen to
their plans, however Let them enlighten
us-tell Us how much they expect to save
III year, and from what source.
A vague promise to be economical III a
general way will not do. We have never
yet seen it demonstrated that any other
party could have administered the affairs
of this State any cheaper than the Repub-
licans have done. Certainly the Democrats
would not have done it, if we may take
their brief reign in 1S66-67 as sample.
In the foregoing We have only con-
sidered the pecuniary phase of our po-
litical affairs. But there is another which
the Reformers appear to lose sight Of The
people are determined to maintain the Re-
publican principles of personal liberty and
equal rights to all men and classes. let the
cost be what it may. And the less opposi-
ton there is offered to these principles the
cheaper and simpler will be the govern
ment. If, therefore, portion of our citi-
zens will set about to revise and reform
their own conduct toward their fellow-men,
they will start fairly and at once on the
great work of reform, in which they may
rely upon the support of the whole Repub-
lican party.

FORCING EQUALITY OF TAXATION.

The Picoyu9 yesterday blazed out with
a sensational headline to the effect that a
Estate was to be sold for taxes The ex-
PLANTATION did not justify the extravagant
and narrowing announcement, which APP
pears to have been made for the purpose
of slandering the Republican party. 1t
appears that the tax collectors in Arkansas
have determined to do their duty at last
in making delinquents do their duty like
other good citizens. Persons who held
large tracts of land in Arkansas for specu-
lative purposes, or because they did not
have the good sense to dispose of what
they did not know how to turn to
profitable account, have continuous
ly refused or neglected to bear
their due proportion of the public
expenses. They have paid no taxes for
years, and they proposed to continue this
dishonest practice indefinitely, to the
damage of the good men who promptly
paid their annual assessments. The tax
collectors have at last been forced by pub
lie opinion, and by new and more strin-
gent laws, to proceed against these deIin-
quents. They have seized the property
that has so long enjoyed immunity from
the debt that it owed to society, and al
though the extent of the land thus seized
is large, it embraces but very small frac-
ton of the State. This is what the
Picaymne rushes into big letters about,
and this is the whole story upon which
it bases its assertion that an entire State is
to be sold for taxes.
If the same process We're adopted in the
State of Louisiana it would be mere act
Of justice to the real bona tide taxpayers of
the community. 1t is estimated that there
are four millions of dollars due to the State
by property owners, who make constant
practice of refusing or neglecting to do
their duty in bearing their share of the
public burdens. The taxes that are thus
withheld from the treasury have to be
made up in the shape of increased taxa
llOA VI tl4OSc WIZ ldilulully duSNtI lut
demands OF the tax collectors. This four
millions, if it was promptly collected,
would relieve the State from paying inter-
est to the amount of two hundred and
eighty thousand dollars per annum, or it
would decrease the general rate of taxation
at least one-halt of one per cent per annum.
1t will thus be seen that what is being done
in Arkansas is not only right in that State,
but that it is an example that ought to be
in our State. Until delinquents
are made to perform their public duty the
government will be liable to the charge OF
favoring a few at the expense Of the many.
Perhaps these very delinquents might be
made better citizens if they We're compelled
to do the duty that better men are sub
iected to.

The Democrats pretend to be perfectly
reconciled to the freedom of the colored
people, but they will insist that the policy
which emancipated the negroes was poi
son whose effect has sapped and is destroy
ing the foundation of the nation. If we
may judge by appearances, the virus of
freedom has weakened the Democracy to a
very dilapidated condition. And yet they
will insist that it is a good thing, and that
they love it, and will have nothing else,
even if they should grow fat again, and be
elected to Office. We should trust them
more if they did not make such faces
about it.
