h6r MIR. John McEnery, VIII
"lays the fattering JUNCTION to hi
soul" that he is Governor of Lou
isiana, has been making a lot o
appointments of Tax Collectors ant
Assessors for d number of places
In so far as the validity Of this per
Torrance goes, he might as vel
appoint q few for Mississippi:
Maine or California or China. Al
home or abroad, all is the same;
because as MI. McEnery is neither
in fact nor yet in law Governor OF
Louisiana, nor has he even the re-
cognition of a single organization
or governmental department out
side of tire: Odd Fellows Hall. He
has no governmert-no material
no archives-no recognition. What
he may *, is quite another thing,
and with the assurances from his
"Committce"s' In Washington that
their cause is gaining daily, he
might reasonably be expected to
refrain from Gubernatorial acts till
be ia recognized and installed as
Governor.
Our purpose, however, is not to
lecture OF to counsel this gentleman,
but to advise people in New Or
leans and the country parishes who
have property, and who pay taxes,
not to regard the attempts of these
tax assessors and tax collectors;
they are as utterly without author
ity to enforce their assessments, as
Mr.. McEnery is to authorize them
to levy them.
Mi. Kellogg's officers are the
State officers, and they and they
only are authorized to carry on
the State Government, and any at
to delude inviting people,
Or to encourage the ridiculous op-
position Of tax-resisters, is not only
wicked in ITSELF but must be disas-
Irons to those who are deceived
thereby. We give this warning to
