TAX SALES.

Tho greatly needed reformation in the
| enforcement of the revenue laws by our
| state authorities seems to be working ad-
| ,nlrabiy. The tax sales which have taken
| place lately having proven largely remune-
| ratlve to investors, al increase in the
number of bidders may reasonably be ex-
pected at the numerous projected auction
| ings. In the Algiers cases we are in
formed every piece Of property sold was
redeemed within forty-eight hours after
the sale, and as the buyer is entitled to
claim fifty per cent interest, it will be seen
that this beats speculation in certified
checks all hollow.
Interested parties attempted to excite
demonstrations of opposition at the
recent sale by loud-mouthed denunciation
of bidders, but this game vas too thin to
arouse the response expected and desired
The people have come at last to the COM
mon sense conclusion that those who,
year after year, refuse or neglect to pay
their share Of the general burden are not
good citizens and are undcserv;ng of sym
pathy.
In several of the Northern States, where
the enforcement of tax collections by sale
OF the property is an established institu-
ton. firms are organized, whose sole bust
ness is to buy IN valuable properties thus
disposed Of A more lucrative business
in New Orleans just now can not well be
imagined. Fifty per cent interest or a
title guaranteed by the State within six
months from the day OF sale is enough to
tempt the cupidity of any one, and We
know it has aroused q laudable desire in
the breasts of many Republicans, both
white and colored, to acquire eligible city
homesteads, which the tax resisters' or
ganization has SO kindly and cheaply
placed within their reach.
There is profound satisfaction in the
reflection that the sheriff is compelled by
the law to install purchasers il their
newly acquired possessions, and We do
not think even our Democratic sheriff
would care to hazard the penalties neg
lect of this duty would be likely to entail.

oPIY OF VAR.
In Wednesdays Herald appears fright
ened editorial about the arming and equip
ping Of our State militia. Because the
REPUBLICAN,, as vas proper, gave to the
reading public some account of our militia
organization and equipment, straightvay
the Herald becomes indignant and terri
fed. It wants it to she remembered that
the money expended in aiming these col
ored regiments, in purchasing costly trap
pings and equipments and in securing
large supplies Of powder and ball, is
wrung from an unwilling and overtaxed
people" We object to remembering any
thing of the kind. in face of the fact that
all of these military supplies and equip
ments are furnished by the United States
government. Louisiana, through her
Governor, has obtained her quota of arms
and ammunition.
Is the Herald unwilling that Louisiana
should have her proper apportionment of
arms, allowed and paid for by the general
government? Even if bills had to be
paid by this State alone, We do not know
Of any more judicious and necessary ex-
penditure. An efficient and well armed
militia may be bugbear to the HerQ'd,
but the great majority OF the American
people regard such an organization with
pride, and look upon the militia OF the
States as one of the principal component
parts Of our system Of free government

A REAR ATTTATY.

malignant little eruption appeared on
the inferior end Of the Times yesterday,
which troubled the family nurse to dag
nose. NO recent case Of castigation could
be recalled, and hence there was great
wonderment sill around as to what allied
the thing. But al analysis OF tha sup
Duration showed taat the little ulcer was
charged with the idea that the official or
gan has made light Of the latest Grant
parish outrage, ana yirtuous Indignation
could no longer be held in; SO It burst
out. The assurance that there is 10
foundation for the insane idea may have q
good effect and save the afflicted part from
gangrene. It is not true that the REpUB-
11cAN (tor We suppose this paper is meant
by the term 'official organ") has at anv
time failed 70 characterize the affair re-
ferred to as anything less than most
atrocious crime, for which nc punishment
would be too severe to visit upon the head
Of the wretch who perpetrated it, as well
rs those whose exam Piles made such deed
possible, and who are now believed to be
the rayisher to escape the ven
geance. of his pursuers. But we do not
lay the blame upon the wrong parties
The Itr,eS's own correspondent furnished
US with clue to the real accompIces of
Henderson, and nothing we have seen or
heard since has shaken us in our belief
that he is sheltered from justice by some

and more extensive horror that occurred |
on the thirteenth Of April No one about |
the official organ has been paid to tell the |
truth, and We sincerely hope the 7Inss,
