DELINQUENT TAX LISTS.

The laws of this State provide that tax
collectors shall exercise diligence in the
discharge of their duties. They are to
proceed by amicable means at first, CIV
ing due notice and affording taxpayers
every facility to pay their dues to the
State without unnecessary cost. If all
the persuasive measures provided by law
fail to secure the object, then a gradually
tightening system is inaugurated. First
the collector makes a seizure by simply
recording the tax in the mortgage book
of the parish. He may also, in the par
ish of Orleans, bring suit in the district
courts. In case judgment is obtained,
the sheriff offers the property for sale at
public auction in the manner provided by
law, when, if there is bid high enough to
pay the taxes, that is the end Of the mat
ter so far as the collecting agents of the
State are concerned.
But there are numerous cases where
property is offered for sale in this manner,
and no bid offered, or at least not suE-

PURSUING HIS ASSAILANTS

A friend of Mr.. E. C. Hancock assures
US that he has collected evidence that
points directly to two persons as the per-
petrators of the dastardly assault upon
him on Saturday night, and that the
proper steps have been taken to investi-
gate the affair before the grand jury. He
has information that sustains strongly the
suspicion that the guilty parties belong to
the police force. Some of the details are
not proper to be made public just now,
for obvious reasons, as he is seeking his
remedy and pursuing his assailants before
tribunal invested by law, with the gen.
eral public consent, with secrecy. But
we are glad to hear that the injured gen.
tleman has adopted the right course at
last He may have taken the proper steps
sooner But while he was using the
columns of the Herald to publish the
transaction, and holding the whole police
blamable for the bad acts of two Of the
alleged members, he provoked the criti-
cism of the public. Men thought that a
private grievance should be remedied in
the way pointed out By the laws, that
the utmost vigilance should be employed
to find out the men who were guilty Of
assaulting him, but that the occasion af-
forded no excuse for arraigning several
hundred men in solido, large majority Of
whom are known to this community as
gentlemen who are incapable Of such an
act as the one justly complained of. Much
of the criticism thus invited has undoubt-
eddy been harsh and unjust, not only to
the injured gentleman but to his associates
in the Herald Office, and epithets have been
applied to the conduct of that journal
which are certainly not warranted, and are
repugnant to good taste A writer in the
REPUBLICAN yesterday morning alluded to
the matter in some such terms, including
the general management of our contempt
rary in the censure. AS Mr.. Hancock hap
pened to be connected with daily paper in
which he could let his griefs be known, it
WAS, ptlu w NC CA pCCtCu lhot AS "O"AN
use it. And if his associates are satisfied
with such use of the Herald, perhaps
the public should be so also, except that
portion which may be unjustly included
in the wholesale denunciation. As many
as are aggrieved have their remedy, how
ever, for the attacks on the police have
been openly and boldly made, and can
not properly be characterized as sneak
ing and cowardly."
We felt a. high degree Of qualification
when we looked into the Herald on Mon
day evening and found instead of a series
Of European precedents for private assassi-
nation, some good, wholesale denunciation
of the practice, done up in round Anglo
Saxon terms We hope no New Orleans
journal will soon again appear as the
apologist Of those who attempt to regulate
the conduct of others, either private, pro-
fessional, or official, in any other manner
than such as is provided by law to suit
the case.

steamships Of various sizes running into
this port. Not dollar has been invested
in these vessels by any of our citizens.
Our list Of sailing vessels may not be quite
as long as it has been, but there are
good many nevertheless. For several
weeks, too, we have had grain awaiting
shipment for want of tonnage. There have
been some detentions at the bar, but the
widest and most uncompromising Demo-
crat can not lay that grievance at the
door of the Republican party. The ex-
| perience here has been the same as 1t Is
everywhere else. Where business has
and where merchants have depended upon
| political record and old associations to
keep them up, thereby neglecting the ex-
ercise Of energy, advertising and the best
approved methods of making themselves
known TO strangers, they have not got
along very well. The middling working
classes are better off than We ever saw
tn EN- here before. The colored people now
| count their wealth by hundreds, while they
once had it in dollars. All classes save
those who have invested too heavily in
Fusion politics. or who are too lazy to
bestir themselves, are getting along well
enough. And if we could cease our local
quarrels, obey the laws and authorities
placed over US, we would command such
respect abroad that we might soon have
an influx of carpet-baggers with big rolls
of greenbacks to help us increase our cot
ton, sugar and rice crops. The REPuB-
L1cAN has never omitted to state on all
proper occasions that our troubles spring
from a want of industry and economy,
more than from political mismanagement,
and the sensible commercial writer re-
ferred to corroborates our statement

Gent to pay the taxes. In such instances
the property is withdrawn from sale, and
reported to the Auditor on a delinquent
list. All the accruing costs are added,
together with twenty-five per cent pen
atty upon the amount OF the tax for every
year or part of year that the sum re-
mains unpaid. There are great many
lots Of property reported delinquent every
year, and there have been almost daily calls
at the Auditors Office by interested par
ties to redeem. All the revenue laws have
made provision for this delinquent list,
and it is considered one of the established
measures of our financial policy. An act
was passed at the late session Of the Gen
eral Assembly, known as act No. A.,
which imposed some additional disabih-
ties upon those who delay the payment OF
taxes and licenses, but the regulations IN
regard to the delinquent list were left IN
disturbed. Nothing was altered in respect
to this list during the whole session, ex-
cept TO restore to the Auditor his fees OF
two dollars for each description of prop
erty when applied to for certificate OF
redemption. This fee had been taken
from him by act No. p Of 1872. Yet a
legal mind that sometimes writes for the
Picaysue contends that the act No. AZ has
abolished the delinquent list by its repeal.
ing clause. There is nothing in act No. Al
that prescribes regulations for the redemp'
ton Of forfeited property, as defined in Sec
ton sixty-nine of act No. AZ of 1872. Nc
regulation is adopted as a substitute, no1
there anything in the law OF 1873 that
either directly Or indirectly interferes with
the long established law relative to for
feited property.
In case the measures prescribed by ac'
No. ~ result in the collection of all the
taxes, either by voluntary payment OF
| forced sales, then there will be no delin.
quent lists. There will be no property
| forfeited to the State for non-payment
and hence no penalties Of twenty-five pei
cent per annum will accrue. But it is moi
in accordance with the experience of the
past to expect any such result. The
| usual number Of delinquents may be cal
| culated on with absolute certainty, ano
they have been amply provided for by
section sixty-nine, which the Auditor
| quotes in his circular. The Auditor has
now on his books several hundred de
scriptions of property that have been re
ported delinquent, upon which he is dali!
collecting taxes and issuing certificates O
redemption. After the fourteenth Of JUNE
the penalties RENTED by act No, 46 o
| 1878 will be again imposed, and not onl.
upon the delinquent lists Of the years pre-
ceding, but upon those of 1873, if an.
shall be reported, as is certain to be tn
case 1t is not wise, therefore, for tax
payers to presume that any opening hal

An English reviewer points out the fact
that at the present time it is the novel,
and not the ballad, that forms the nation,
and that the school of sensational writers,
who almost monopolize the popular read
ing of the two countries, are doing the
English language mischief that can
hardly he cured.
