nAsEY PLAYINa IT FINR.

Among the candidates for the chief place
in the Customhouse, a shrewd suspicion is
growing that Casey's resignation is a mere
trick and pretense. The assertion that
Grant did not know the nature of the evi-
dence developed by the congressional COM
mittee against his brother-in-law is false
hood which can easily be established. Not
only had the press given the substance of
the proofs of Casey's unftness for reten-
ton, but the exact statements under oath
Of the witnesses against him were laid be-
fore Grant and his Cabinet in printed form
two months ago.
Holding back the request for his resig-
nation for twenty-four hours after his de-
parture from Washington is, too, very
shallow dodge. Mr.. Casey has arrived
here, and, as we learn from a recalcitrant
Grant organ, the Picayoae, expresses much
surprise at the ''rumor." If he has been
requested to resign, he disclaims any
knowledge of it, but makes prompt use Of
the proverbial reput9 of our mails for I'M
certainty and frequent failure, by forestaIl-
ing the expected demand upon his patri-
otic self-abnegation. Under the interested,
and therefore earnest, solicitation of his
subordinates, a number of merchants,
whose only stake is to win favor from those
in whose power it lies to grant them
special privileges and business facilities,
have been induced to sign a petition for
Mr.. Casey's retention. The French i'm
porting merchants, doubtless influenced
thereto by the sentiments Of Grants Gaul-
ish organ, the Bee, are reported to have
rallied numerously around the incum-
bent showing how easily kind-hearted
people can forget and forgive past offenses.
But all this froth and fume of astonish-
ment and remonstrance smells of a large
and not over clearly mouse. If the Presi-
dent honestly desired to remove his rela-
tive, he would have done it without sur
prises or stage effects; but it is too evident
that he desires to gain credit for doing his
duty impartially by palming off upon the
country, if possible, the thinnest of
shadows for the solid substance of reform.
Our sympathies are with the many dis
appointed aspirants-our congratulations
with the Bee and its yet successful ally.
And as it has not been our particular fight
from the first we can therefore cheerfully
pat all the contestants on the back and adj
wise them in the words of the old song:
cit will neber do to CUB it up SO, Mr..
Brown"

to improve, that his more enterprising
neighbors may build up around it, and
augment its intrinsic worth, can not COM
plain if he is compelled to pay taxes on
the actual value Of his property. Still no
one can deny that taxation in Louisiana is
oppressive. 1t has been occasioned by
various causes, the origin of which dates
back in many cases anterior to the warm
some instances during the war, and in
others by reckless legislation since. 1t is
unjust to change any party or administra-
ton with it. 1t would be wiser to contrive
some means to lessen the burdens of it,
and still preserve the integrity of the State
1t is evident reputation will not do it.
Neither will resistance through the forms
of law!
How then? Simply by removing the
causes which produced this condition Of
things. First by electing honest and
capable men to Office by stimulating in
dustry and giving tone and energy to
commercial enterprise by inviting immi-
grafton. instead of driving it away, and in
this way opening up our rich delta lands
to cultivation and improvement
To say that Democrats can alone furnish
the men capable of relieving these preva-
lent distresses /; or that Republicans can ;
or Reformers, is an absurdity. What we
want are good men-liberal, wise and sa-
gacious No more defective administra-
ton of the government of the State ever
existed than that under the rule of the
Democracy. The city government in par
ticular was by-word and a reproach.
Then upon what pretext can the Demo
Gratis claim to be the only true opponents
of political honesty and fair dealing.
We claim that the Liberal Republican
movement, composed largely Of the best
men of all parties, offers the best assur-
ances for the redress of the grievances re-
garded as SO oppressive and unjust 1t is
trameled by no party ties. 1t is pledged
to no men, and no measures save those
that are founded on the good of the people.
Those who have espoused it therefore
expect from it the only capable solution
that is probably attainable for reform
in taxation and the manifold political
abuses that attend it.

fit is an insurmountable objection to
the support Of Mr.. Greeley throughout the
Mississippi valley that he is opposed to
federal aid in construction of the levees,
does it not equally apply to General
Grant? Where is the instance when he
has recommended or advised any such
aid? On the contrary, has he not per-
sistently refused it? Never in the history
of this country have our people been so
sadly in need of such aid as since the war.
But they have got none from this admin
istration, nor are they likely to. But it is
untrue that Mr.. Greeley is opposed to
giving national assistance in rebuilding
the levees. He properly thinks it mat
ter for legislative adjustment. Congress
alone can determine upon its propriety.
But we shall have in Mr.. Greeley, as Presi-
dent, friend Of the measure, and not an
opponent Of it.
Just such reckless assertions as are in
volved in the false statement that the Gin
cinnati nominees are opposed to giving
aid in rebuilding the levees Of the Missis-
sippi constitute the only capital of the
Customhouse party.

with and found guilty of having adhered
to the legal Legislature of the State when
most of his Democratic associates deserted
their offices last January, and attempted
to organize new and revolutionary gov
eminent at the Gem Saloon.
Second, that Mr. Davidson felt it to be
his duty on several occasions to support
the action of Governor Warmoth's friends
in the last Legislature in preference to
supporting the action of Mr.. Carriers fol-
lowers. These were the grounds of Mr..
Davidson's accusation by the Democrats
of New Orleans, and we infer that they
are identical with the charges that were
considered sufficient to justify the men
who assembled at ''Mr. Garig's place Of
business" in coming to the decision that
they did.
If Mr.. Davidson had been presented
with the charges against him, and then
allowed a fair trial, we should not have
considered it necessary to interfere, for we
do not believe the occasion would have re-
quired any interposition. Il, in answer to
the charges, Mr.. Davidson had told his
Democratic friends that, as their repre-
sentative, and in sudden emergency, he
had acted upon his own best Judgment,
as they expected him to do, such an
answer would at once have destroyed the
allegation that he was ''traitor and q
renegade" for it was just what he would
have told them if he acted differently from
what he did. Since he could not consult
them, he acted as he thought best, and if
he went contrary to their inclinations, the
worst charge that could be made against
him was that he erred in judgment, as
every man is liable to do, even in the
most honest matter.
If, again, he had explained that by
adopting the course he did the peace of
the State had been preserved, martial law
had been averted, large number of pri-
vate speculations, which he knew of and
which they did not, have been rendered
impossible of success, and immense econ
omy had been introduced into the revenue
law, what would the effect of such an ar
gument have been upon the minds of rea-
sonable jurors? As we said at the outset
the decision would have been different,
and as Mr.. Davidson will no doubt appeal
the case from the court that was assembled
at "Garig's place of business" to the TIL
bunal of the people, we venture the opin-
ion in advance that the result will be a re-
versal of the judgment delivered by the
informal meeting at "Ata Wilde's" grocery
store.

State, and are quite willing to let the Gus

What credit does the Shreveport South
,oeStern take to itself, or propose to acquire
from calling Senator Sumner a ''disgraced
degraded and demented man ?" What dis
graced him, wherein has he ever been de-
graded, and who can show any sign of de-
mentia in him? Of all the public men in
the United States Senate, not one can show
a cleaner and purer private record than
Charles Sumner. AS an orator he stands
foremost in the North, where orators
abound As statesman, his ability has
been recognized by the chosen leaders of
the Democracy As a firm and consistent
advocate of human rights he has no su-
perior. Clay, Webster and Breckenridge
admitted him to their friendship and
counsel Pendleton, Hendricks, Blair,
Hoffman, Seward, Chase and all the great
men of the country are his personal
friends; Democrats and Republicans alike
respect his integrity, his ability and his
courage, and yet this village oracle deib-
erately proceeds to pronounce him ode
graded, disgraced and demented man. "
Wherefore ? Because Mr.. Sumner has his
own ideas about what the law should be
in order to be just. Well, Mr. Sumner
can stand ii, or he will have to, we sup
pose. Perhaps he will never hear of it.

TAXATION,

It is well understood principle Of po-
htical economy that taxation is only OPP
pressive when it exceeds a just per cent of
the actual value of the property taxed
This value is reached by ascertaining the
income it produces, and fair computa-
ton Of what it is capable of producing if
properly managed A man, for instance,
who owns valuable real estate in the heart
Of the CT or near it, which he neglects

The late James Fisk, Jr., asserted, just
before his death, that he owned a large
amount of Erie stock, and such was sup
posed TO be the case; but all efforts to find
any record of the same since he died have
been in vain, and suspicious are entertained
of foul play on the part of those in whose
hands the stock was held.

good prospect for rain, as the clouds were
heavy, and thunder and lightning were a

dry weather, there was not enough rain to
