TAXES AND CIVIL WAR.

The tax question which is producing so
much excitement in Louisiana, and which
some. thoughtful people fear will lead TO
civil war in that State before its settlement,
has been extensively considered by the
counsel Of the New Orleans Peoples AssO-
citation for resisting illegal and unconstitu-
tional taxation imposed upon the people of
Louisiana by the usurping Kellogg Govern
men:. After a thorough examination
of the law, and after consultation
with the most eminent legal minds of the
city, they find that final answer on this
subject can come only from the Supreme
Court Of the United States. kellogg and
his allies--tax collectors, brokers, coutrac-
tors, etc-must wait, therefore, until the
Supreme Court has given its decision. Per
h4ps it is the knowledge of this fscs which
has induced the friends of the kellogg usur-
patton TO make the representations noted in
t1e following Washington dispatch #
April 81: G
parties here in the in crest Of the KEEL
logg Government in Louisiana, deny the
current statements that the citizens in that
State, and particularly in New Orleans, are
more than ordinarily delinquent in the pay
ment of taxes. They state that the official
records Of the parish OF New Orleans will
show that dming the months of February
and March last, two-ihiTds of tho taxpayers
there voluntarily paid tie assessments levied
upon their real estate aud personal property
then due, as well as the assessments for
licenses, etc. The returns from the country
parishes are Tot SO complete, but so fer as
received show a similar proportion. From
this statement it is argued thai the autici
pated troubles from this source have been
greatly exaggerated, with view to ruin
