W. F. Herman, Esq, a distinguished
conservative lawyer Of East Feliciana.
and a recent candidate for the office of
Attorney General on the Liberal State
ticket, explains himself through the col
umns Of the Clinton Patriot-D Democrat,
in which he recommends the payment
of taxes under protest. He says:
The reasons which lead me to this
conclusion are that the collection of the
State taxes cal not be successfully re-
sisted before the State courts, as the Su-
preme Court of Louisiana has already
recognized the Kellogg government, not
only Is the government de .tdct0, but de
jure. Congress having failed to act, and
the President of the United States hay-
ing recognized the Kellogg government
as the de tact0 government, which he
will sustain with the military power of
the United States, the collection can not
be resisted by violence, which, however,
is not intended nor desired by the peO-
pie. The Kellogg government being
recognized by the State courts and by
the President of the United States as
de ,fdctO, the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States will decide it has the legal
right and power to collect the taxes
necessary for its administration until
Congress meets and settles the contro-
versY.
Resistance before the courts is useless,
and worse than useless. Resistance by
violence should be denounced by every
good citizen, it would result in failure
and disaster.

CLIOUES N RINGS.

The world is governed by associations
of different kinds. Men band themselves
together for various purposes of self in
terest, or general good, and in the might
Of numbers find success. But it is in
politics that cliquism puts on it's worst
and most abhorrent aspect. A certain
body of men entertain, or support GER
tain opinions, and every one who knows
anything of politics, knows too that to
believe in faithfully and support ViO-
1ently, are two very different things. A
political union binds itself to support
any party measure, however obnoxious
to common nj Or principle. In fact
they put themselves in harness, and like
any other well trained steeds move at
the word of command, even if it carries
them over the verge Of an abyss. II the
leader calls out, "There is no precipice,"
though it may loom up a mountain be-
fore them, the clique takes up the world
"There is no p~recipice," and straight
way butt their stupid brains out against
it. If in the midst of this cliquism and
blind following, there can be found a
person who dares advocate independent
opinions, there is a party cry, Gd leOnes!
which is yelled as Justify as under the
billowy Velarium of the ancient Roman
Amphitheatre. Let him be rent into a
thousand pieces, and hold up the frag-
ments of his words and actions to uni
versal e~xecration.
We chose to show up'the in~Ordinate
folloy of tax resistance at the present
time, and the old cry, ad leones, follows
us. We consider that we are advising
the people for their own good; and as
"foIlow my leader" does not happen to
beinourrepertoire, we donot see why we
should counsel a dangerous and ruinOus
leap, merely because some purblind old
sheep have trundled over the edge, to be
hauled up again feeced and sore.
We object to having bitter draughts
forced down our throat; and if we see no
prospect of escape, prefer swallowing
them without a deal of useless sputter'
But above all things we choose to en-
terrain individual opinions, and, in all
humility, have an idea that they r the
best and wisest for the present crisis.
In this universal middle of politics, a
man eanonly choose the safest slOughinto
which to fall; for, as far as we can see,
Louisiana is one great political slough,
with no firm foothold any where. II
there is any measure suggested which
shows some CLEAN of hope for our un-
happy State, that measure is sure to per-
form "hari-karin on itself, or some of
its supporters do it.

POLITICAL COMPROMISE In NATCHI-
TOCHESo

In the parish of Natchitoches each of
the political parties claimed to have sue
ceeded in the late election. There were
thus two sets of officers, which neces-
sarily gave rise to a great deal of confu-
sion. In this condition of things, after
much vexatious delay, the citizens,
through their representative men, con-
cluded to adjust among themselves, their
differences by compromise. According
ly, the parish committees, representing
the Fusion and Republican interests,
met in consultation, and agreed upon a
plan which they reported to Governor
Kellogg to be approved by him. In this
adjustment they giveto the Republicans
the following officers: Parish Judge,
Clerk of the Court, two Police Jurors,
Coroner, one Justice of the Peace, and
one Constable; to the Fusionistst the fol
lowing: Sheriff, Recorder, three Police
Jurors, one Justice of the Peace, and one
Constable. In f%urtherance of this prop
osition, Gov. Kellogg, on the Goth ult..
appointed and commissioned the officers
designated.
The people of Natchitoches, of both
parties, are satisfied. Peace and quiet
reign supreme. The parochial admins
tration is harmonious and efficient. The
people generally are quietly paying theil
taxes, supporting the Government, and
developing their industrial resources
In a spirit of Cancellation, they have ad.
justed all their political troubles in {
manner both profitable and satisfactory
to the public. Among the Fusionists
who promoted this compromise, we fine
some of the ab1est, and most prominent
Democrats Of the parish. The Chair
man of the Fusion committee was Col
w. NJ. Levy, formerly a gallant Officer
in the Confederate service. We trusi
that the patriotic spirit manifested il
Natchitoches, will extend its influence
throughout the State. BLESSED are thu
peace Makers

CINCINNATI SMALLPOX HORROR.

CINCINNATI SMALLPOX HORROR
Yesterday afternoon a wagon from the
pesthouse, loaded with two cOrpSes, was
seen passing along Clifton avenue on
it's way to the Potter's Field. One of
the deceased had died from smallpox,
o fact which rendered the drivers soci-
etv not at all to be desired. When the
driver reached the 0ne-mile House he
stopped, left his team and went into the
hotel for a drink, and while on this er
rand his horses took fright, dashed down
Clifton avenue dragging its load of
dead bodies and followed by a lot of
men and boys madly crying, "Stop!
Whoaw The runaway had not made
any great distance when the collins were
thrown from the wagon and broken to
peices, and the contents, badly mangled,
left upon the frozen ground, soon after
which the horse was stopped. Owing
to the knowledge that the wagon was
from the pest-hOuse, none of the large
crowd attracted neal the spot by the
general confusion would consent Oren-
der any assistance. There the bodies
laid until help from the nest-hOuse could
arrive, when they were conveyed 70
their destination and inferred.

what Congress VIII Not Do.

The following is a special dispatch tc
the New York Times:
WASHINGTON, April 29d.-Attorney
with a judicial officer from New Orleans
to-day, expressed the opinion very posi-,
lively that If the people of Louisiana
consulted their best interests they would
without delay submit ~peaceably to the
existing State government, for, under
the circumstances, the executive branch
Of the general government would use its
entire force to sustain Governor KEEL
logg's authority. He was of the opinion
further that there could be no hope fol
any other government founded upon
any expected action by Congress, since
the Republican sentiment in the next
Congress will be even more positive than
in the last.

who owe no taxes yilify and abuse those
who do, because the latter are in favor
of paying before costs and penalties are

this gives him no mghtto malign Others

Hops.

If we was Josh Billings, or if Josh
was us, we might pass some scathen re-
marks on the uncertainty of hops and
their Pathological and demoralizing
speculative character. Any man with
hops on the brain may be took up by
Detroit police at any time of the day.
Frequently hops are down, and then we
say their subjects are ornithological
characters, and are called gutter snipes.
Sportsmen with blue coats and brass but
tons bring them down with sticks.
When hops are up, the fizziologists are
called in to test their condition with
glasses that are neither microscopes
nor telescopes, but air both to once.
Emmett Wells in his circular informs us
in the above opinion of hops, he is al
most as uncertain as uncle ''Josh. :"
Hops might be called Jumps " the past
week, 50 sudden has been their progress
from 80 and 40 cents to 40 and so cents
in New York There has been some
sales in this city at 40 cents but we
notice that the trade Is excitable at
present, and 80 cents might be asked
and obtained. Nobody knows what
this article viii do next, certainly not
even the widest and most enthusiastic
of "bulls in hops could have prOgnos-
ticated a few weeks ago that hops would
approximate to anything like so cents
this year. But the truth is hops are
scarce. Last season we had the remains
of two or three years old hops to fall
back upon, but that resource was clear
ed off most thoroughly last summer,
and there are no hops now but the crop
of 1872, and that does not seem to
equal the supply.
