THE NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.

To-day is the day set apart by procla.
nation Of the President for national
Thanksgiving and prayer. In every State
the Governor has, by his proclamation.
called upon the people to obey the proc
lamation of the President. Nowhere is
there dissenting voice. It is national.
an American day. It is hallowed by
many traditions Of the trying times and
sad thoughts that caused its birth to COM
memorate their passing away.
We all, even the poorest and saddest of
US, have some thanks to give our Maker.
So each Of US has some kind thoughts to-.
ward our fellow beings. 1t lisa great idea.
and essentially in harmony with the
foundation Of the American people that
one day should be set apart when we can
all indulge in them together. Some can
not feast on the traditional turkey and
pudding, but the day will stir up in them
thoughts not unpleasant Of other days.
AS people, we have much to be thank
full for. Our country is growing grander
and moro prosperous. The average wealth
is greater than it was year ago. We are
at peace. but not at rest. for that is not
the nature Of America. We must have
action.
But to-day all this brings only thoughts
Of good will toward our fellow-men. The
Governor of the old Bay State will pardon
the best behaved felon. Boston, New
York and hundred other cities will send
turkeys and chickens and coal and wood
and other things to keep away the wolf
from the many poor doors they are re-
sponsible for, and modest private benev.
olence will give joy to many heart and
put color in many cheek.
And when each sits down to-day at his
table, no matter whether there is the
stalled OK or the dinner of herbs, there is
a fellow feeling in the idea that all over
our country thanks are being given for
what We have, and Gods blessing i'm
plored by honest hearts for each and all
of us.
To do our little share to make the day
a happy one for our employees, even
though our constant readers should miss
our daily appearance, the REPUBLICAN
will not appear on Friday, and we wish
all hearty enjoyment Of this national
holy day.

THE CITY TAXES-.-A HIATUS,

1t is not only a matter of interest, but
! is also well known to every citizen. that
the collection of taxes due is one of the
necessary things for the prosperity of the
city. Any Administrator who can devise
plan by which the back taxes would flow
into the city's Golfers, instead of being a
burden on her books, would earn and re-
ceive the gratitude of all New Orleans,
What, then, will be the dole measured out
to the city father who, instead of putting
his shoulder to the wheel. throws al! his
weight against ii:
1t has been one Of the problems that
taxed the wisdom Of our rulers how to
collect these taxes. One Of the means
was rendered by the Legislature in the
shape Of the Superior District Court.
Taking advantage of this, the City Attor.
ney, October 5, instituted little more
than IL, 600 suits in that court. This was
in compliance with his duty according to
his oath. He is elected, under the CITY
charter, by the city government, and must
obey its orders. 1t has levied tax, it is
unpaid, must be collected. and ne mus.
do it by suit. Further than that. dill.
gence in the matter is imposed upon him
by the revenue law.
1t appears that he has performed his
duty. In the suits he has instituted he
has obtained over eleven thousand judy
ments. They have been entered up,
signed, and executions ordered. The
clerks have ready the Fl fa's to be deliv.
cred to the sheriff whenever the proper
city authority chooses to order it.
Why does the city attorney not do it:
Because, although be is ready and willing,
a new obstacle, never contemplated by
the trainers of our government, is in his |
way. In the face of the financial troubles I
Of the city, the difficulty with the fiscal
agent, and the letter Of Mayor Wilt |
showing back taxes due to the enormous !!
sum of five million of dollars, one man |
brandishes his shield Of braun.
Every act of the city attorney has the
authority of the unanimous voice of the
City Council. But one Administrator
chooses to check the wheels it has set in
motion. In defiance of precedent, disre-
sarding the law, trampGng under foot the
rote Of his associates and repudiating his
OVID, he orders the city attorney to pause.

OUR POLITICAL VENDETTA.

The body Of Nicolo Cotina was found
in the river swamp, and near by paper
inscribed with date. This date CORE
spending exactly with that of murder
alleged to have been committed 10y Cotina,
and the Picayune reporter says:
About two weeks ago a detective asked a
party of Sicilians down at the French Mar
ket if they knew where he (Cotina) was
They carelessly replied that he was lying in
the swamps in Algiers, and had paid the
penalty of his crime.
1t is added:
Saturdays discovery confirmed what
they said, and revealed the strange fact
that every Scilian in the neighborhood
knew OF the murder.
We have witnessed the performance of
Mr.. Reeve as Count Fosco, in The
Woman in White" dramatized from Col
Inns. Incidentally we may say of the.
acting that no higher presentation of an
able and accomplished adventurer could
be given. The PRESERVATION is perfect in
manner, dress, and even in dialect. The
mixture of polished suavity, arrogant
assumption and personal conceit embody
character often outlined in real life, but
never drawn more fully or philosophically
than by Mr. Reeve. But we are not
writing critique or compliment to the
artist wbo-as the French say-''created'
Count Fosco. It is with the character
itself that We would deal. Count Fosco is
an Italian, member of secret society
which, like the carbonari. was deemed
necessary to overthrow government not |

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 2s 1874

His words in substance are these, ''pro-
coed no further to enforce these judg-
ments until you have further orders from
me or my successor"
Further orders are not likely to come
from the present Administrator as his
''sands of official life are nearly run out.
Whether his successor will be more dill.
gent than he has been is not for him to
suppose. We may and do hope he will
be; but that is no excuse for present
inertness. There has been too much
Of this interruption to legal pro-
cess. and we had hoped our retir-
ing Administrators had learned some
wisdom. They leave the city treasury
much worse off than it was at the date of
their accession to office: not on account
of any great public calamity. nor because
Of any unusual or improper expenditure.
but purely and simply because there has
been an almost total failure of duty in the

too much interference with the sheriff.
