COLLECTIONS FOR ACCOUNT OF THE
SCHOOL FUND.

There is some little misrepresentation in
the public mind in regard to the manner
of collection and application of the
school fund in this city. The law pro-
vides that it shall be assessed and collected
by the Common Council. and held SUBJ
ject to the orderof the School Board. The
tax is collectible in currency, which ope-
rates as a drawback to some extent. For
instance. the general fund, police taZ. and
some Others. are receivable in evidences
Of city indebtedness, which can be bought
at a discount. The brokers find it profit.
able to provide themselves with the means
by which they are enabled to offer to pay
taxes at a reduction. in cash, from the
bills rendered. As the school tax can not
be thus paid. they do not urge it upon
their clients. AS they can make nothing
out of it, they are not interested. and it is
generally left 20 a future day. or to the
mild persuasions Of the sheriff. He makes
close collections. and we are glad to learn
that Under the stimulating influence Of
the ordinance recently passed giving him
a Il additional percentage. he is doing a fair
business. We understand be is now abou.
ready to turn in a good sun to the credit
of the school fund. Perhaps there will be
enough before the close of February to
pay the October rolls. The January rolls,
under the law. are payable out OF the
taxes Of 1874. now in course OF collection.
1t is probable that October vii! be first
paid from the receipt for back taxes. If
there is anything like a display of official
zeal and promptness, enough should be
collected from this source within the next
thirty days to pay both October and No.
vember. In the meantime. the receipts
for account Of the taxes for 1874 should
be suficien: to go on with the January and
February rolls, which, with the aid of the
State quota, due about the middle of
March, would bring the payments for this
year up to the end of March. Thus it
will be seen there is a reasonable prob
ability that all the rolls, except that for
December, will be paid within the next
thirty CT forty days.
There is scarcely anything better than
teachers time certificates offering in the
market for investment. Especially is this
true of October, November, January and
February. Teachers ought to realize from
eighty to ninety cents or the dollar, though
we hear of exceptional cases where lower
rates are accepted.
The School Board orders the money
paid the instant the Administrator of Fl.
n reports enough ON hand to clear off
one months pay roll, and on one occa-

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

We are glad to see that Governor Kel-
logg has called the attention of the Legis-
lature to the excessive fees demanded and
received by sheriffs, clerks of courts, nota'
ries, etc. To these he,might have added
justices Of the peace and constables. In
nearly all criminal proceedings in this par.
ish, the city pays the costs. In every case
of onviction the district attorney receives
fifteen dollars, besides a percentage Of all
fines paid in. The popular belief is that
ca ch of these Offices is worth a fortune to
q man, and very large sums are expended
at every election to secur them. Fitness
for the place has less to do with success
than ability to make a little money bring
in a good many votes.
We ought to let the reform business go
the rounds. There are too many expen-
sive habits fastened upon US. The State.
city and parochial offices are all regulated
on a very high pressure principle. Nearly
everything is done by deputy, and the
Chi eff is dissatisfied if he fails to realize a
for tune in four years for permitting the
public to hire a man, and in some cases
two or three. to do his work. The prac.
tic. is for the clerk OF a court to send tor
an architect as soon as he obtains his Ger
tiicate. lie knows what he can squeeze
out Of iitigants before he is elected, for he
has bought the place by the fee bill and
carefully scanned the inventory. All this
money comes out Of people who have no
means Of helping themselves. There is
no competition, and if litigants wan. JUS
tice they are compelled to buy it at a very
high price. Every man who offers his
services to the public and is accepted
should be required toput in full time, and
at reasonable rates; and il would be no
more than right to discriminate in favor
Of the city, as It is very large customer,
for whom clerks can afford to work cheap.
There is nc necessity for such an army Of
officials around our court rooms, and half
the men could and would do all the work
if the fees were reduced to simply living

TIE CURRENCY QUESTION.

Our readers should acknowledge their
obligations 10 u :hat we have never bored
them abou. ia. currency. nor instructed
them particularly whether they ought to
advocate imitation or contraction. We
have never even counseled the govern
ment whether /. should borrow money to
meet its deficiencies, restore the duties on
coffee, raise the tax on tobacco and whis-
ky, or get along, as the State of Louisi-
ana is compelled to do, by scaling the
face of its obligations to the rate of their
cost to the holder, or of its ability to meet
them.
Yet, We have our opinions on these sub
jects, and, no doubt, they are worth as
much as those of others. They are ap-
plicable to this city and State, as, we
presume, the ideas of others are applica-
cable to other localities. As for specie
payment, we are in no haste. The mar
ket value Of specie is, like the steam

sion. about q year ago, ordered . half q
month to be paid. The amount due the
board for back taxes up to December 81,
1873, was, a few days age, stated at
S161,OOO. The Indebtedness of the board
up to the same date is about Sis, 600,
lea ving a margin, if all the money were
collected, Of upwards of $40, 600. From
this it will be seen the schools have been
maintained during the year 1873 at a cost
OF less than the estimated income. That
the tax has not been collected is no fault
of the board of directors.

OUR ANGRY BOY.

Our young friend, the Picayune. is evil
IDENTIFY very angry with the REPUBLICAN,,
because we took il to task for it's inbound
ed assertions and aspersions about the
funding bill. We can stand that, because
we know that the public are better &C.
quainted with US than the little fedgling
who has hardly ye. got its eyes open.
We protest. however, against its charge
that our Legislature is composed of a
large mass of ignorant persons, who re-
quire instruction and wise and honest
counsel" such, for instance, as the Plea.
yNne has given it upon this funding bill,
which seems to exercise a certain class OF
non-residents.
Wise and homes: counsel can only be
founded on truth, and when any defect is
glaringly obvious to even the unlearned
the whole structure is liable 20 suspicion.
The declaration was recently made that
the Chamber Of Commerce was directly
opposed TO a measure which the records
show received the sanction OF that body.
We fe.t it our duty 10 correct the error.
again, it was alleged that it had been de.
monstrated that the foreign bondholders
would agree to abate a part Of their de-
mands upon a basis other than that es-
tablished by the funding bill, when. SO far
as the public knows anything about it.
there has been no cOncerted action anon
them at all. When we have wise and
honest counsel to offer the Legislature we
seek first to fortify our position by such
facts as are necessary Or material to the
ISIS ue and present it to the members in
good season. We hope U neighbor will
her eater be more parliamentary and urge
whatever it may have to say at a time
when the question is debatable.
