4 TAX LIST.

The little affair which we pub llsh this
morning for Administrator Pilsbury does
not contain SO many columns as the
Chicago list makes pages in the Inter-
Ocean. It will thus be seen that New
Orleans is beaten again, and by little
inland village in Illinois, where we heard
the other day they had had everything
burnt up in the big fire. The list in
question makes 1s6 pages of six columns
to the page. There probably 270 names
to column, making an aggregate of
more than $4,000 delinquent tax bills,
not taxpayers, for every lot forms a
separate bill. In this city one mans
property is all consolidated in one bill
and the notice announced in one line.
When all the Chicagoans rush up to the
treasurer's Office to settle, there will be
such meeting of property holders as our
home association of that name would
behold with envy. There were not
enough people out at the Exposition Hall
meeting to make secretaries for the
Chicago crowd.

success. The first of these modern Punic
wars resulted in favor of Port Vincent,
which was in 1872 declared to be the par
ish seat of justice. Springfield rallied
her forces, however, and the war was re-
newed in 1875. This time the result was
reversed, and Springfield was triumph
antly proclaimed the capital city Of the
empire of Livingston, where justice
should in all future time be administered
in due form. Doubtless the contest would
have ended here but for the bad example
set by the great cities from which our
modern rivals derive their characteristics.
Rome and Carthage engaged in a third
Punic war which finished poor Carthage
SO completely that it has lain quiet for
more than twenty centuries. 1t has never
been able to come to time and, probably
never will. Springfield and Port Vincent
are about to transfer their fight into the
courts. The police jury of Livingston
has met and taken formal action by di-
recting the district attorney to contest the
law fixing the parish site at Springfield,
on the grounds stated in the proceedings,
which appear officially in another column.
There is fine array of legal talent in Liv-
ingston, and We may expect at any time to
chronicle the marshaling of the contend
ing forces and the shock of the comba-
tants. 1t will be very pretty fight, no
doubt. but the city on the river has the
advantage of possession, which some legal
representing the city on the
sea will have to balance by skill. Who
will be the Scipio of the final scene?

the North for the sentiments contained in
this lecture, and this Northern denuncia
ton was reproduced at the South in all Of
the Confederate journals.
| Wendell Phillips political sagacity pre-.
vented him from being blinded by that
which blinded so many lifelong Adolf
tionists. With an unerring prophetical
intuition he penetrated the motives OF
those who had recognized the Confeder-
ate party in Louisiana to renew the
struggle against Republican principles.
He saw that the Confederate leaders
sought to regain by political diplomacy,
inside OF the Union, what they had failed
to accomplish out of the Union by the
sword. Events speedily justified the note
OF warning thus sounded by the great
! Abolitionist
Many years have passed since then. The
blood OF the Republican martyrs who
were butchered in cold blood in New Or
leans, in 1866, has long since soaked into
| the ground. The murderers, having
washed their hands and put on kid
gloves, are still moving in New Orleans
society, the leaders of the Confederate
party Of to-day.
The negro is subordinated. His po-
litical allies have been driven from every
Southern State where white maiorities
prevail. The mere form of republican
government is maintained in Louisiana,
Mississippi, Florida and South Carolina,
but with Democratic restoration this
form" will also pass away, and these
Republican States will then be in the
same category with Geogia and Texas.
When all this is finally accomplished,
and the Louisiana policy of the Confed-
crate leaders becomes the cornerstone of
the new political South, then what
Will not Wendell Phillips note of warn
ing. entitled 1.-THE South Victorious"
then be deeply interesting reading?
These reflections are suggested by two
editorial paragraphs recently published in
two OF the leading Confederate papers of
the South-the New Orleans Picay,,ne and
the Richmond Wing. The New Orleans
Picdyunc says that Wendell Phillips has
outlived his day and usefulness. The
Richmond Wing says-well, we will let
this leading Confederate journal speak for
itself. In referring to the fact that the |
Southern wing of the Democratic party
will control the action and determine the
policy OF the new House of Representa-
tives at Washington, the Wing says: 1.-THE
sceptre aoiN be seoayed by the ranquisled, a.
last made r;ctorious''

IMPORTANT

The New Orleans Sanitary and Excava ting Com
paDy beg leave to inform the citizens of New Or
leans that they have per fected all the necessary
arrangements, and are now prepared to execute
orders for the cleaning and emptying Of priEies
and sinks.
The apparatus used is known as the "Odorless Rx-
cavatlng Apparatus" and is the same as that used
in New York, Washingt on Baltimore and other
large cities OF the North consisting Of pump or

ing attachment by which the contents Of vaults
and sinks can be removed without creating any
nuisance or offensive odor duriag the ordinary

ANOTHER EXPLORATION oP TIE PASSES.

There will be another examination OF
the mouths of the Mississippi generally,
and South Pass specially, which will &C.
cupy the whole Of the present week. A
steamer will leave the city some time to-
day with Captain Eads and number of
invited guests, chiefly merchants and
newspaper men, who are to be afforded a
good square look at the matter. We have
not received a list of names of the invited,
but hope it will include General jeff
Thompson, Professor Forshey, Mr.. Bayley,
General Beauregard and other practical
and well-known engineers. We regard
the opinion Of either of these gentlemen
as entitled to more weight than any
given number of promoted clerks who now
write merchant" after their names. 1t
is true, the success of the enterprise de-
ponds upon enlisting the business COM
munity in its favor, for to them the pro-
jector must look for the ways and means
to give him a send Off, but as class our
merchants are poor judges of engineering
and will require the assurances of experts
before they will back the enterprise.
Even Napoleon, self-willed and deter
mined man as he was, sent his engineers
ahead to explore the Great st. Bernard
before attempting to cross. When they
appeared before him he inquired in his
nervous, abrupt manner, "Is the route
practicable?" cit is barely possible" was
the reply. ''Let the column advance,
then, was the order. The victory of
Marengo was the result of the daring
achievement.
In like manner, if our engineers pro-
aounce Captain Eads' plan "barely pos
'ible" Of successful accomplishment, we
nope to See an advance in full column,
md the necessary pluck and perseverance
@ make browning success. Although |
t is not expected that the brunt of the
york shall fall on this city, the beginning
hould be made here. When we show a
to help ourselves we shall
lot want for friendly Hercules to lend
IS powerful aid.

Aacharie. philanthropist and corn doctor,
claims $4,000 for removing corns from the
feet of Union soldiers during the war. He
says he removed 5000 cOrns from 5000 feet
of men in Louisiana. This was when the
army was on war footing and the philan-
thropist and corn doctor has the corns to
show forit. The committee on war claims
reject the doctors demand, but it is prob
able the next Congress will authorize q
commission to take testimony. In deciding
upon the benefits Of Colonel Zacharie's o.
perations, the number Of men who deserted,
coru-less, should be considered separate
from those who marched with their recon
strrcted toes TO the enemy.

TEXAS AND THE NEW CONFEDERATE
CONSPIRACY,

The Confederates of Texas have lately
joined the "old" Texans in CELEBRATING
the anniversary of the independence Of
that State The memorial day which
commentaries the separation of Texas
from Mexico was observed generally
throughout the State. The republic of
Texas once more passed under review.
The spirit of separate State independence
and undisputed and uncontrolled soyer-
eighty was once more aroused. With
this feeling was mingled the military
spirit of the Confederates in the State.
