TAXATION IN LOTTSLAEA.
A Woeful Picture-Twenty Millions to
be Collected.

A Woeful Pioture-Twenty Millions TO
be Collected.
The New Orleans Plcayune, In an article
upon ths question of paying taxes to the Kel-
logg usurralIon. has the following:
Are the taxpayers Of this city, who are 10
any doubt whether they will combine with
their lellow-cltlzens to resist the attempts, by
the most outrageous aud shameful modes ever
proposed In q country protesting to be Tree
and Republican, to collect the exorbltant and
illegal taxation upon our people by usurplng
government, aware OF the amount OF taxes
which 1t is proposed TO collect this year
Many of these fatter themselves with the
Idea that they will get of with tax OF I'VE per
cent. State and city. This is q grlevous error.
Besides the regular State and city tax for the
past year, the act of the bayonet Legislature
to enforce the collection of taxes, which our
readers will hud In our columns to-day, gives
to the State officers the same power and au-
thorlty to collect all aDtecedent unpaid taxes
for the years preceding the last as are con-
tsrred In regard to the TAX taxes , OF iass sI year
to 81, 600, 600, which, added to the 50, ,00o, 000
collectable for the year 1872, will swell the
grand total to say $l2,000,O00, which
can be collected by the same process
es provided In the Infamous enlorce-
ment act passed by the Kellogg Leglsla-
ture. Add to this the city taxes uncollected,
$40 OOO. 600, or over twenty per cent. OF the
assessed value Of the property of this city,
which is to be collected according to Kellogg's
proclamation by civil or criminal process out
Of The people. 1t would be well for those
timId or over prudent people who now pro-
pose 10 pay their taxes for last year, to bear
in mind the effect of their submission to such
demands-which is simply an acquiescencs In
the spoliaLion and conhscaiion OF the property
of this people for the emolument of jobbers,
adventures, rings and the agents Of foreign
holders of bonds, prominent among whom is
the present fraudulent and usurping so-called
Governor of Louisiana.

lion dollars. While The Importers are looking
on In dismay, Gould, Smith Hatch are deal
ing heavily. Should this condition of affairs

masters of The situation, and have 1t 10 their
power 10 make Wall street tremble to lis cen
tire. The joint transactions of these gentle
men may be estimated at from twenty to

THE FURRY IN GOLD.

The New York Times, Of Sunday, says:
There was considerable excitement In Wall
street yesterday In consequence Of the sd-
vance 10 the price Of gold to LII. Many bank
ers and brokers are short OF 1t, and will fose
heavily If the price is advanced, oeeven mAin-
tanned, at the present figure. Thepartiea who
will suffer most from the rise, however, are the
pay the duties on their Imported goods, and
who will be forced to Hwslk up and settlep
when they ask to have their loans renewed OF
their BANKERS In Wall street. Many OF these
came into the street yesterday through the
peltlng rain to inquire regarding the prospects,
aud consider whether it would not be wise TO
settle on the present basis rather than uusf 20
the chances OF decline. There was an in
mense business done during the day By the
leading houses In gold, and q general feeling
prevailed that the "bull" party would stlll fnr-
ther advance the price. - -

TAXING THE BLACK EM1.

A Solemn and Impressive Ceremony.
At half.past seven O'Clock this morning, says
the Columbia Herald of Monday, the bell ofthe
convent at valle Crucis was tolled by one OF
the lay sisters, when, everything having been
previously prepared and arranged, the nuns
entered the chapel, In procession, singing
meanwhile the hymn Veni Creator, each hold
log lighted candle. The young lady who,
was to ssssume the black veil, Hiss epann,
from Texas, walked In the centre OF the pro.
cessloa, wearing white veil, until arriving
before the gate, when she sssumed kneei.
Ing posture. Several appropriate hymns
were then sung, and mass said by
Right Reverend Bishop P. N. Lynch. Father
Merryweather officiating. The newly pro.
fessed then arose, and, passing little way
from the crate, sang three finest the following
verses, while the choir turned toward the
altar: ;suscipe me Domino secundum eloqni-
um tuum, ct vivam ct non contundaa mn. alb
expectatione mean-the choir answering after
each, amen. The assistant then took the can
die from the professed, when the latter aP-
preached the CRATE and kneeled again, while
the celebrant put The black veil on her head,
saving: s'Suscipe velum sacrHm pudorfee ct
reverentIR slgnnm quod perferras ante tribu.
nal Domlni nostri Jesu Christie ut haoeua
vltaI, eteruam ct vivls In eecula seculorum."
The asslsrant replied, amen. Then she turned
toward the superioress who pinned the vol,
while the assistant took away the white veil.
Her candle was then given to her. The Te
Deum was intoned, which the choir continued
alternately, facing each other. Meanwhile;
she prostraled, with her arms extended In the
form Of q cross, and remained In that poeltion.
till certain versicles and prayers were said,
the younger girls strewing beautiful and sweet
natural flowers over her prostrated form. The
bishop then sprinkled her with holy water,
after which che rose and the ceremony CEN
ciuded at A. NJ, the nuns and lay sisters
