IT Is now reported that very learned
linguists are reviving the old dispute re-
spectlug the proper pronunciation Of the
word Arkansas. The dispute covers two
points, the one where the chief accent
should rest, the other whether the word

Though the French were the first settlers

THE great feeling OF satisfaction with
which the close of the hodoc campaign
l. contemplated Is not unmingled with
sadness at the thought that the Associated
Press man at tue Lava Beds passed
through all tho vicIssitudes OF war with
out contracting premature badness: The
only thing that Rssusges our grief Is the
hope that the New York Herald may
have discovered in him those shining

UNDERvALUATION OF ASsEsSABLE PROP,
ERTY,

The revenue law contains ample pro-
vision for carrying out the sentiments OF
Governor Kellogg, expressed in the procla-
nation declaring that assessments Of tax
able property shall be amended where
equity has been disregarded in the original
valuation. 1t is fortunate that such is the
case, too, for many errors have crept into
the tax rolls, both in the way of over and
undervaluations.
Take, as an example, the case of Mr.
Edward Booth. He has large store, a
large stock, and is popularly supposed to
do a large trade. His counsel and HIM
self estimated the value Of his stock in
store al the way from ten to eighty thou
sand dollars, if our memory serves us
rigEt, and yet Mr.. Booth was assessed by
the 'Warmoth emissaries'' at only two
thousand dollars capital. 1t was for this
sum he fought and met defeat Now, if
the proceedings in the Superior Court have
developed that this is an erroneous assess
meut, and that it should have been much
higher, we submit that it becomes the
duty Of Mr.. Folger to assess Mr.. Booth
over again, both in justice to the State
and to the rival hatters.
There are scores of such cases, and We
cite Mr.. Booths in the way Of illustration
only. Let the tax collectors do their
whole duty, and receive the thanks CT al
honest men.

DISTINGUISHED GUESTS.

General ". W. Belknap, Secretary OF
War, Lieutenant General P. H. Sheridan
and suite arrived in this city yesterday
forenoon from Texas, and are now stop
ping at the ST Charles Hotel. A large
number Of merchants waited upon the
Secretary Of War in the afternoon, urging
upon his attention the existing embarrass-
ments to commerce at Southwest Pass.
The interview is reported to have been Of
a very satisfactory character. Later in
the day the Secretary drove out to the
Jockey Club House and the Fair Grounds.
General Sheridan did not leave the hotel,
but was waited upon by many old friends
whose acquaintance he formed while
in command of this department
at the close Of the war To-day the party
viii visit the United States barracks, be-
lew the city, in the police steam tug, and
will leave for the North on the evening
train. The Secretary of War repairs forth
with to his station in Washington, where
important matters await his attention.
General Sheridan returns at once to Chi
cago. Messrs J. NJ. Loomis, w. NJ. My
ers, Colonel J. W. Forsyth and Major NJ.
V. Sheridan accompany the party.

CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATION WANTED.

The Times, in displaying the e'silver
lining" to the financial cloud that over
hangs our city, says:
In considering the actual financial stand
ing Of the city II must pe remembered that
her Indebtedness can not at the worst eX-
ceed the limit of So ,OOo,oc0.
We regret to know that this is delusion
likely to be dissipated at any day that an un-
scrupulous orneedy Legislature may come
into power. This limitation, so-called,
is nothing but an act Of Legislature,
and may be violated tomorrow with i'm
punity. We mention this error because
it is common to great many persons,
and because We would be glad 70 see the
constitution so amended as to limit the
power of the Legislature to impose NUM-
cipal Indebtedness upon the city corpora
ton or upon any other.
It must be obvious to al who have the
permanent reduction Of debt and taxes at
heart that with the outstanding and un-
limited power Of the Legislature to man
damus the city into debt the limitation
of the State debt is disadvantage to the
people Of the city of New Orleans. Why?
Because the city only pays sixty-six end
two~tbirds per cent OF the State debt while
she is responsible for the whole of her own
debt, The Legislature then, restricted
from taxing all It's constituents, may i'm
pose special werk or a special debt upon
the city. In such case the city must pay
more debt and taxes than if there was no
limitation upon the Legislature to increase
the debt of the State.
An amendment Of the constitution limit
ing the powA Of tie Legislature to man
damus the city to incur debt, beyond a
certain amount, would greatly improve
the standing Of our civic securities in
foreign markets. While the paramount
power of the State government over the
corporate creatures Of its OWE enactment
can not be disputed, it might be well to
define and limit that power IN the par
ticular stated

TERREBONNE WANTS ATTENTION

A letter from Terrebonne parish ir-
forms as that several Of the unquiet
spirits OF Houma and vicinity are trying
to get up disturbance there. We are
asked to call the attention of the Governor
to the report. For the information Of the
quiet citizens of Houma We will say
Colonel Flanagan and his gallant peace
makers, who carry percussion locks, have
just returned to the city from most sue
cessful mission to Livingston parish, and
can, if necessary, be sent to Terrebonne
at three hours notice. If the citizens of
Houma will telegraph to the Governor on
the frs appearance Of actual danger, we
have no doubt force will be sent to look
into matters on the instant.
