To THE POLICE JURY OF tBos-
sIER PARISH-G GeatIemen In be-
half of the people Of Bossier
parish, l viii say to you,, that, as
President of the School Board of
Bossier, | have repeatedly de-
manded of 7. w. Conway, State
Superintendent of Education, and
James Graham, Auditor Of Louis
lana, a report of the amount of
poll tax fund due to Bossier par
ish, and that they have positively
\ refused to render such account. I1'a
Previous to the year 1870, the
law provided, That ninety per
cent. of the poll tax should be ap-
propriated exclusively to Public
School purposes, in the parishes
where the same was paid, and the
balance to charitable purposes
See r. r.. s., Secs, 1926 and 1926.
| By the Revenue Act of i1S70--
and subsequent enactments on,
the subject-this law was changed
only in this: That ten per cent. of
the poll tar shall be paid into the
State Treasury, TO the credit bf5sBs
Charity Hospital fund. See act Nor

! Act No. 42, 1871, p, 1O5, sec 9; f;
Act No. Il, 1872, sec. |.
This ninety per cent. of the pott
tax is not a part of the State
School Revenue, see Act No. g.
Ext. Ses. 1870, p. %, secs. 81 and
, 81; neither does the law provide
for any of the State officers to re-
ceive, control, keep or pay out the
9 same; and5 since 1871, no liability
attaches to State. Tax Collectors
on their bonds for the poll tax, as
it is not assessed and charged
! against them by the State. See
| Act No. AZ, 1871, p. 11S, sec. 40.
In the years 1868, 1869 and 1870
I there were more than $500 per-
sons in Bossier parish liable for,
poll taxes, whichshows deficit,

WHAT Mr.. GREELEY REPRESENTS IN THIS
CANvAss. The New York World states in
the following a,r,ce what Mr.. Greeley repre-
sents in this remarkable canvass:
First and foremost, lie represents the pa
trioiic yearing for reconciliation, peace, and
fraternity between the alienated sectious of
our vexed and distracted country. OF this
holv and healing sentiment, which yeans to
cement our coun.rymen in mutual respect
and cordial Brotherhood, Mr.. Greeley is in
comparah the fttest representative tha,
could have deem selected from among tho
conspicuous public men. To be sure there are
hundreds of eminent Democrats who cherish
the same generous feeling toward the South
but their Willingness to be just and magnan-
mous has no extraordinary significance. But
when an eminent Republican, nominated and
supported by Republicans, tenders forgive
ness and invites brotherhood, it is evidence
of great change in Northern public opinion.
And if such Republican is elected Presi-
dent hy union of Democrats and Repub-
can voters. it will be more signal demon
straion of returning kindness and good will
than the election of regular Democrat. Mr..
Greeley has a valid title to lead cuch
movement He has steadily preached am
nesty, in season and out of season, ever since
the close of the war. He vindicaed his
sincerity in the bail-bond martyr, when it
cost him great par; of his influence in his
own party and raised against him general
howl of Republican execnr,ion. There is no
other Republican who has risked and sacri-
feed a hundredtl part as much in bearing
testimony against the iiberal, embilered
spirit Of the vinGiciive Radicals. He is
therefore fit representative of reconciliation
the most important of present issues.
Mr. Greeley also represents the general
demand for honesty in the administration Of
the government and his ersona anteccdents
make him also suitable in this view He
is not merely honest himself, but he has been
resolutely scourging scoundre's all his lte;
and, what is more to the purpose. scoundrels
in his own party. 1t has been his practice
for years to publish in his paper "back list
of Republican members of our : a;e Legisa-
ture WHO voted for swindlmg schemes. The
vigor with which he has pursued and hunted
down such knaves, is one reason why he has
been so unpopular in political conventions
packed and engineered by them and their
like.
In this Presidential canvass Mr.. Greeley
represents various other things good in them
selves, but of less Importance. Such as the
one-term principle for President, reform Of
civil service, and ether points sever,lly emu
merated in the Cincinnati Baltimore platform.
But his chief strength as a candidate lies n
his good title to be standard bearer of the
patriotic citizens who wish to heal the wounds
of the late war, and to retrcnch the expenses
of the government by upright administration.
And on these capital points he is in full ao-
cord both with cherished views Of the DEM
ocratic party and with lis own record and
antecedents.
The Placer herald., 1872-09-21

A SIaN.-Some people affect to believe
that Mr.. Greeley has no Republican strength.
Yet, here is the Portland argus, containing
call for Cougrcssion Il Convention in the
Third district (Augusta) which is signed by
563 Greeley Republicans. Tne district con-
tairs rs towns; but only 33 are included in
he list This is Blains district His majority
two years agowas 1920. Ihe ArguS says:
The other forty five towns will soon be
heard from with additional names from some
half-dozen of these towns which have not
been canvassed at ALL the few nlmes given
having been obtained incidentally during the
canvass of ather towns. In nearly all the
towns were numbers of Republicans who de-
clared their intention to vote for Greeley, but
were unwilling to sign. The call embraces
one member of the present Senate, Hon. w.
Phbrick of Skowhegan; two members Of
The House, Jason NJ. Carlton Of " Whitefeld.
and VIM. II. Evans of Cornville; one for
mer member of the Executive Courcl, Hon.
J. NJ. Dennis of Portland; many eX-mem-
bers Of the Senate and House, including the
Hon. g. w. Beakius Of Iiallowell: nine
lawyers select men of towns; town treasur-
ers; other town officers; members OF Repub-
lican town committees; merchante, business
men and farmers; solid men Of the district
