There comes from every part of the country
the most clamorous and earnest protest against,
and threats of resistance to, the taxation which
is about to be assessed on the property of the
State. That tax is now ascertained. the State
tax alone, to exceed two per cent To this Is to
be added the parish tax. And. to render the
burden the heavier, the assessors, who are paid
a per centage ON their valuation, are engaged
at assessing property above its real and market
able value The State tax before the war, when
property was far more valuable and productive
than it is now, was one-fourth of one per cent
This tax supplied an ample fund to pay all the
debts and the expenses of as honest and efficient
a government as aEy community could desire.
The tax has steadily advanced since the war
until it has reached the present amount, which
in itself may be set down as an absolute eonfis-
cation of the whole profit and of nearly the
whole product of the State for this year. 1t is
impossible for the great majority of people to
pay this tax. The majority of planters in the
interior have hardly made enough to feed them
selves their families and their stock with nee
essarv subsistence. When the tax gatherer
comes around he viii be met with the answer
that there is not dollar left to pay him. The
threat of legal proceedings, of seizure and sale,
has no terror to many of the country people,
for judgments for taxes will not be easily en-
forced There will be no buyers under seizures
and sales of country property for taxes. This
ia certainly a discouraging state of affairs. And
vet it is the legitimate result of the government
with which we have been cursed for some years
past 1t is to support and enrich these OPP
pressors and pIunderers that this people are
subjected to these grevious burdens and prose
cutions. They are thus shorn of their hard
earnings without any equivalent, and in fact in
order to secure prolongation of the power and
plunder of the rapacious gang of harpies who

Albert Lasfrapess

Last week we presented to our readers the
name of our esteemed young friend, Mr.. Albert
Lastrapcs, as a candidate for the Office of Clerk
of the District Court. Owing to the lateness of
the hour at which the card was handed in, We
were unable to do more than insert it in our
columns.
Mr Lastrapes is not unknown to the greater
portion of the citizens of St. Landry. He will be
remembered by some as the efficient and affable
State Librarian Immediately after the war. In
that position he contributed much in restoring
order and system in the arrangement of the Lii
brary and never failed to make pleasant i'm
preston on all those who visited his office. On
the ascendeney of t'the powers that be-" he re-
turned to our midst, and ON the election of Mr..
Egbert O. Hayes as Sheriff of this Parish, was
sworn in as one of his deputies, and placed in
special charge of the Office. A.more happy Sc
lection could not have been made. Mr.. Lastrapes
had been but short time in this Office when he
became thoroughly acquainted with all it's de-
tails, found place for every thing, and had
every thing in its place.
But this does not constitute the only or princi-
pal claim of Mr.. Lastrapes to the goodwill and
support of the voters of st. Landry. 1t is much
for person to be intelligent, educated, neat,
orderly, systematic, and good penman, IN an
Office like that of the Clerkship, qualities Mr
I4astrapes possesses to an eminent degree. what
Is as essential is that affability and polish OF
manners which so distinguish our young friend.
His genial and courteous ways with everybody
and at all times has won him hosts OF friends
who win welcome the announcement of his can
dilacy and pledge him hearty support at the
ensuing election. Should success crown his ct
forts, it is not too much to say his official career
may recall to many the good days OF our ever
to be regretted friend, Louis Lastrapes.

- The following communication, from st.
Louis, Mo-, under date of the 22d inst, explains
itself:
EDITOR CoUR1ER,-To our mutual disappoint-
ment, the visit to your section, of the Paris Pa
Wilton Circus is postponed for the present. The
illness of two prominent members deprived ME
for time of some of its most attractive features
and while might still have made the tour with
fair company, l was 10th to visit my old friends
with an organization inferior to that exhibited
in New Orleans. The very nature of the vast
enterprise necessitates the employment of none
but leading artists-a full compliment Of whom
possessed until the peculiar qualities of the
Mississippi water deprived me of some of them.
The desire to revisit your beautiful country is
still unabated, and I hope next season to be
among you with a company that will prove as
pleasing to you as it must be satisfactory to me.
Please forward all bills to me at St. Louis.
Yours Respectfully, DAN RICE.

The Democratic Policy.
from the Atlanta Constitution.)

FROM ue Attt7ltn CONSutWtt0H.l
While the Democracy must be careful to
yield no vital principle, and make no fundamen-
tai concessions. yet it can afford to lay aside
questions for which the public mind is not ripe,
and push to the utmost its advantages. But
above all things it cannot afford to sacrifice its
organization. 1t must adhere together, bound
by it's great and immortal principles, and pre-
serve condition, organized, disciplined, united,
vigilant and ready. Let the Radical dissensions
work to head. Let the sincerity Of the Lib
eral Republican Reformers be tested without
hindrance from the Democracy. Let us see
whether the Republican reformers have the
nerve to make the issue practical. Then let the
Democracy step into the field with a platform
upon which all honest opponents of centraiism
and all friends of good government can unite,
with solemn observation that every legitimate
war issue 10 forever settled, and we have great
hopes of victory. In the future, as in the past,
this paper will be equally against the indiscre;
tien of friends as the hostility of foes, and will
take its part in the great battle for pure con-
stitutional government.
