gument in favor of these measures was
the same as urged by Mr.. Howell. II
was that public officers are incapable Of
administering public property. Whether
this be the result Of an innate impossi-
bllty, or because of the nominations made
IN the ward lottery, we can not say; but
we dispute the proposition as unworthy
a republic or Republican. If the people
have not capacity to govern town pump,
how can they execute that grand problen,
of governing themselves?
We have dissected the communication
referred to because it has come to hand
just when we needed an illustration
of the financial fallacies which are
floating around, replete, in our opinion,
with great injustice to the people or
to the public creditor. From the in
| dications, there exists powerful con-
federation between the city adninistra-
ton and few pet bondholders. The
city administration is short Of the money
necessary to pay salaries and keep the
streets clean. The cessation of pay
ments Oh this account may throw much
responsibility on the Administrators.
Perhaps hunger and nakedness may be-
come troublesome-may be dangerous.
Scattered largesses will appease the people,
and soften the official bed Of the Admin
istrators. The public creditor has a fund
lying in the treasury pledged to the pay
ment Of his dues. If this fund can be
extricated from the bondholder by the
substitution Of any other fund or
subject the interest 10 oney may 60 to the
immediate purposes for which it is SO
much needed. Hence the proposal, to
stave off one years interest, to sell the
batture and grant monopoly of certain
articles Of popular consumption. The
pet bondholders come forward and are
willing to purchase the property and peo-
pie OF the city, and pay in evidences of
city debt.
The buyer and seller are then in accord. |
The pet bondkolders are willing to leave |
their interest money in the treasury if
hey can get the franchises in monopoly.
The Administrators are willing, with a
single exception, to sell out the property
md people so that they can forthwith
handle the money in the treasury for the
interest OF themselves and the pauperized
public. 1t is the policy of spendthrift,
Who for the qualification of a present
iced viii grant concessions which bind
lis best property and revenues. The
had better pause, or even
esign, than SO trammel the property and
industry Of the city.

for the arrest and punishment Of the Bul-
lettns st. Martin law-defying friends, the
Grant parish rioters, and the Coushatta
murderers, or the seizure of Belgian mus.
kets which had been sold by contract to
an organization whose avowed object was
revolution and murder, such as We beheld
on the fourteenth Of September. 1t is the
duty of the Superintendent to execute tn 6
laws, and in legal manner. He will
nowhere find any authority for forcibly
entering house without such warrant
as is prescribed in article nine of the con-
stitution. We have never held any other
views-never sustained the police for a
breach of law, nor abused them for o.
| faithful discharge of their duty. The
Picayteae and Bulletin have done both.
While We are on this subject let us
PROFOUND ar interrogatory to the new
champions of first rate Republican Off
clal. Suppose Mr.. Loan We're to deem it
part of his duty to recover the State
arms stolen by the mob last fall. Would
he be justified in sending out squad of
policemen on raid with orders to search
such houses as he suspects of containing
these guns? Would the editor of either
the Picay'ae or Bulletin permit himself to
be reused out of his first comfortable nap
by the police, and ordered to get up and go
and pass the rest OF the night in the station
because of this suspicion, and all with
out warrant? And yet the meanest per-
son in the State is as much under the pro-
lection of the law as the worthy gentle
men referred to. And Mr. Loan has lust
as much right to search their houses for
arms or anything else without warrant
US he has to break into the domiciles of
the poor, weak female wretches who were
guilty of violating city ordinances
We join our neighbors in the hope that |
Mr. Loan will enforce the laws and ordi- !
nances with vigor; but as there is legal !
way to do it, We hope it will be adopted. !
Be first sure you are right and then pro-
coed in the right way about it.

said other Democrats; but then there were
enough Union men found to try it on. and
the South was coerced-subdued as it were,

Dr. Hall, of the journal Of Health, SAYS:
1.-THE longer one puts off drinking water in
the morning, especially in the summer, the
less he will require during the day. If
much is drunk during the forenoon the
thirst often increases, and very unpleas-
ant fullness is observed, in addition to a
metallic taste in the mouth" The drinkers
of morning cocktails are likely to seize
upon this argument as something to brace
mp on. They all know about the metallic
taste and the unpleasant fullness after get
ting full, and will be glad to learn from the
good DR.. Hall that it is caused by water.

THE TAXPAYERS AND THE TAX CON
SUMERS OF LOUISIANA.

SUMERS OF LOUISIANA.
1t is all accepted truism, that labor, ap-
piled to the land and the sea, is the
source Of all wealth. Labor thus applied
to the soil, to the mines and the fisheries,
creates the basis Of all wealth. On this
original tasis, reproductive enterprise
builds the factory and the ship. But
even in the construction and operation of
the factory and the ship, labor again per-
forms its vital function. Consequently,
the laboring class is not only the wealth
producing but the tax producing and tax
paying class. The non-laboring or non
producing class represent the tax con-
sumers.
If we apply this simple law of political
economy to Louisiana we have an answer
final and complete to all the talk with
which the Confederates fill the country in
regard to the financial difficulties of this
State. The difficulty with US consists in
the fact that We have large class of tax
consumers who are averse to all kinds of
productive labor. These white tax con-
cumers wish to live by trade, by politics,
by the professions, or in any other way
save that of digginga hard earned living
out Of the soil by continuous daily toll.
The negro laborers of the State support
this large body Of whites now as they did
before the war. When the country UNDER
stands this it will understand the tax
question in Louisiana.

The action of John G. Breckenridge was
q fair sample of the inconsistencies of those
who advocated States rights supremacy
When his own State decided it had no
right to 60 out of the Union be transferred
his allegiance to the doctrine of Breckin.
ridge rights, and drew his sword against
his constituents. Immediately after the
fall OF Richmond he escaped from his Con-
federacy by going to Cuba in u skiff from
Florida. Mr.. Breckenridge remained under
foreign hsgs until 1868, through the core
years OF reconstruction and the righting Of
wrongs perpetrated by the havoc Of war.
