latter's action in depriving delinquent tax
payers of the benefits conferred by act No
i6 of the last Legislature. and putting such
taxpayers to vexatious trouble and unnec-
essary cost by placing their tax bills in the
hands of the sheriff.
The Auditor uses plain and unM!stakable
language. and desires tax collectors to un-
derstand that while it is his earnest wish
that the revenue due the State should be
promptly and faithfully collected he does
not wish that hose who offer to discharge
their indebtedness to the State shal! be put
to any harassing Inconvenience.
Mr.. Folger alleges that he acted il con-
forn,y with the advice OF the Attorney
General. The Auditors letter implies how
ever. that the Attorney Geuaral over
stepped his proper limits. aud intertered
with the Auditors functions by giving ad-
vice which had not been required Of him.
and not in conformity with the provisions
of act No. 46. Hereafter tax collectors are
required to apply to the Auditor direct in
all cases where there may exist any doubt.
This action of the Auditor can not fail to
meet with general approval, as it is cslcu-
lated to protect the legal rights of ta1pay-

Important Action of The Seventh Ward
Club,

At a meeting of the Seventh Ward Radi-
cal Republican Independent Club, held at
theis hall on Rocheblave, between ker-
.erec street and Bayou road, on Sunday
evening. May %. 1873. the following action
was mad.
The president, Samuel Freeman. upon
being asked to address the meeting on the
subject Of the present political situation,
responded as follows
Gentlemen and members Of the Seventh
Nard Independent Club - The preseLt
political crisis is traught with so much III
teresc that action, decided action, should
be the watchword Of all Republicans in
the State of Louisiana, and it behoove. US
now. in our organized capacity. to speak
in earnest and to give and to give publicity
to our sentiments in order that other organ
izatlons. more potent than ours. may be IN
duced to follow our example. While our
Governor is battling for the principles of
Repubiicanism and while attempts to as ).
slna-e him ore being made. say 1t III
become Republicans to hold their peace
while our brethren have suffered death IN
the parish Of Grant. and in other portions
of our State. Tie are minor issues of
rights and wrongs existing in our party;
but all those tfities must be cast aside now,
and the hands of our leaders must te
steadled by our firm support OF the State
and federal administrations.
Mr.. Ellis Joshua was tneD invited u du'
dress the club. and spoke as follows:
Gentlemen. these are bloody times, but
the blood of the martyrs is the seed OF the
church. Our brethren have been shot and
burned and drowned in the parish OF Grant;
our Governor has narrowly escaped from
the hand of the assassin. and what IS the
lesson taught! 1t teaches the necessity OF
the unity OF the Republican party and the
keeping down of that inhumane political
element that murder for the difference OF
opinion: and fully agree with the presi'
dent in all he has said.
After which the following resolutions
