Is There a Remedy7

The public enemies who are in charge of
this State have so arranged things that
their own creatures and confederates pre-
side over the Courts which must decide on
all matters of taxation. Is there q POS
sibiiity of bringing them to an issue on any
other than their own chosen ground3 In
the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth District Courts
one could reasonably expect justice, but
how can such questions be brought there
when every litigation involving State or
city interests must be had in the Superior
District Court We have heard it sug-
Rested that the Assessors, for instance,
might be sued for wilful and malicious
damage in over-assessing property. OF
course they would be proceeded against in
their individual capacity and an ordinary
Court would have jurisdiction. A few $500
suits would enable those gentlemen to re-
feet seriously on the actual value of
property and the necessity of respecting
their oaths of office
Again. Is their any way of bringing
before the Supreme Court of the United
States the various constitutional questions
that are 80 summarily squelched by the
Supreme Court Of this Statef The amount
of tax to be collected is in most instances
80 small that In itself it does not reach the
sum necessary to give Jurisdiction to that
Court, though the actual value of the
property taxed would in many such caseI
be ample for that purpose. Therefore, il
the value Of the property could be made
the basis of litigation, the Supreme Court
could entertain appellate Jurisdiction.
Now il some foreigner or resident of an
other State owning real eatate here, should
permit the tax assessor to sell his property
T without Any Judicial process whatever, ii
those officers arc daily advertising to do
and if he should then proceed into the U. s
Court to enjOin the purchaser and tar
collectors from attempting to perfect thu
sale, the value involved in the issue wOult
DO, not the amount of the tax, but the whole
value of the property, and would, in mos
cases, enable him to push the question int
the tribunal of the Supreme Court Of thu
United States. Sales effected under judg
ments of the so called Superior Distric

Once year all our merchants make mp their
minds to pstronize newspapers and advertise
their business to the people of the country!
The occasion of this liberahty is the publics-
ton of the annual Statement" of the COM
merce of New Orleans for the commercial year
which ends ON the 31st of August This year
the number of papers published by the dailies
was simply enormous, the Picayune alone,
which now seems to be the favOrite, issuing an
edition of about 10000 copies. One of those
curious individuals who always wants to know
exactly how things stand, measured all the
advertisements, new and old, in the papers of
the fret inst, and gives the result as follows:
Price Current, $500 inches; PicGyuae, 1900
inches Times, LAO; Bulletin, 600. This is n o
criterion, however, by which to jadge of the
amount of business done by each paper, as
their rates Of advertising vary, one paper often
getting twice as much money for an sdver-
tisemeut as its neighbor charges for the came.
They all did remarkably well this year, and
we congratulate them upon their success, for
we fully believe that city can be judged by
it's papers, and are convinced that where the
patronage extended to them by the people is
Sufficient for their support, there popular in
terests will be protected intelligently and fear
lessly. ..
The paper Of the Gulf City, the old Register,
Of which the Hon. John Forsyth is the distin-
guished editor, also came out in splendid style
on the first. Three times it's usual size, it con-
tanned forty columns of new advertisements,
the names of all the leading merchants of
Mobile for one time, at least, appearing in n
single issue Of the paper.
Though We do not share in the profits of the
occasion, we are none the less sincerely glad
that our cotempOraries have reaped such q rich
harvest which cannot but rebound to the inn
mense benefit of the constituencies they repre-
| sent. We hope the patrons of their regular
editions will increase in number and liberality
till every day will prove to each of them a
| Fret of September.

fore the highest and purest tribunal Of the
land. That Court would then pass upon
the unlimited ownership. Of tax-assessors,
upon the judicial powers Of tax-eollectors,
upon the usurped Jurisdiction of o Court

legislative enormity, partial taxation with
out the consent of the locality taxed,-such
as drainage tax, park tar, police tax, etc.
After the magnificent decision OF the
Supreme Court in the case Of she Citizens

land, Ohio, plaintiff in error, VS.. the City
of Topeka, there can be bat little
doubt that it would make short work o.
such iniquities, as well a. Of the greatel
portion of cur State and City bonds. L
may be that our State Courts would no
even then amend their course, bat, as II
| litigants who could net claim protection
from the Federal Courts, would continu
perversely in wrong doing. II 80, our rea
estate would have to do like America
shipping during the Confederate war, tax
refuge under the protection of foreig
owners. If Grant In reelected this will b
the only possible policy for the South.

The anti Catholic journals Of the world, with
q characteristic disregard for truth, have been
industriousiy circulating the report that the
Bishop of oporto, in Portugal, Monsignor
Perreira, has apostatized. They have pub
lished pastoral attributed to him, in which
the truth Of lately defined dogmas was denied
and the whole work of the Vatican Council
repudiated. The fiction, in its completeness, is
second only to the defOrmed PApal buliS which
Bismarck from time to time sends into this
breathing world. The Bishop OF oporto has
written no pastoral letter to his flock on the
definitions of the Church, nor lately upon any
other topic. The document attributed to him

tween the two stations.
Fifty car loads of wood are forwarded
70 Gold Hill and Virginia daily. the
monthly shipment amounting to II 600
cords. Within the past month $2S, 900

was we'll attended, Notwithstanding the
falling weather. They who gathered
themselves together at the Carson
Theatre. were. many of them, persons
who have crude. but yet somewhat cri-
teal ear for music-and among these
were some who had the judgment to
Judge thuswise, to wit, namely: That
Mrs. Moore is an admirable sue
csssor to Sue Robinson Getzler
as character singer. Indeed
she seems to have surprisingly sensi-
tive ear to which responds, in excellent,
bird like rythm, purity Of note and rare
accuracy of time, as agreeable voice as
ever warbled its curious way out of a
woman s throat. She must be a success.
As to Mrs. Marble, it is hardly
necessary to tell, in Carson, the
right estimate Of her surprising
powers in song and recitation.
Her Spanish Tin song) is surprisingly
pure-save here and there q provincial
ism--and her acting 10 very clever in
deed. The Falk children surprise one
with their strong enunciation, their
voice and their general clsverness. The
cider of tho two is sure to make . singer
AID an actress. Togethsr-and apart,
for that matter-they are exceedingly
interesting. As . whole. this entertain
nent is very pleasing, and would suit
any audience anywhere. There will be

REPORTS.
Assemblynan ]. P. Smith, from the
special joint committee on the new pris-
on ut Reno, presented report stating
that the State paid for 2O6 acres of lands
at Reno. for a site, So, 31S 10; that the
site is healthy one. and that the water
of the Truckee river adjoining can DO
cheaply utilized for manufacturing pur-
poses: that a foundation wall has been
erected around five and a half acres, and
also that the sagebrush and stone has
been cleared off. The total cost of this
work has been $50, III 81, but the COM
mittee estimate that an appropriation OF
500, 900 will be sufficient to complete
the vail and cells sufficiently to enable
the prisoners 10 be removed to assist in
completing the prison. Two estimates
are presented of the cost of completing
the whole of the work. one Of which
places the cost at S345, AR 61. and the
other at 1904, 352 80. The committee
recommend that competent architect
be employed when work is resumed, who
will give bonds for the faithful perform
ance of the work; that the present super
intending architect employed by the
State at a salary of $500 per month, be
dispensed with; that all work in future
shall be let by contract to the lowest
bidder, and that the law be amended so
as to add two more members to the !
Board Of Prison Commissioners. No !
opinion is expressed as 10 the propriety !
of continuing the work. The report is !
