How Taxation IL Evaded ~ New Or.
Leans.


In New Orleans, however, there are many
property.owners who are well able, but who pos.
itively refuse to pay their taxes until forced to
do go by law. Many of these gentlemen openly
declare that they hope in this way to cripple and
embarrass the existing Administration. From q
careful examination Of the city lists find that
the taxes now due and unsolicited amount to
upwards Of s3,0OO,00O. Most OF the sum
| ID owned by large holders of real estate, the
mand on them. Tho peculiar Assessment laws
OF the State give the property owr ers many op-
portunitios to resist the payment of their Ia xes
and Of these opportunities many Of them are
not slow to avail themselves. When their es-
tate ia assessed they petition for a reduction Of
the valuation, then they refuse to pay the Col
lector. Suit is brought against them, they take
out an exception, or sue ont an injunction and
for time that ends the matter.
The tax cannot be collected until the excep-
ton Or injunction is tried, and, this IL seldom
or never done, the State is swindled and the
small property owner made to bear the burden
which should fall upon his rich neighbor. Some
cases OF this kind have tested back as far al
1867. Patriotic Democrats declare, as l have
stated above that they will not pay their taxes
because they do not recognize the Kel.
logg Government. This sounds very well
but it il not the truth. They refuse
| to pay, and buy the assistance Of corrupt Off
Gals III order that they may speculate with the
WUuby WHICH tHey owe the St4Lc. iOOr msL
gain nothing by resisting payment. The incon
| siderable sum Of thor taxes would form no la
| sis for speculation, certainly not enough to JUS
4 tfy them in mourning the expenses of legal
advice, costs of court and the interest on tar
bills. IL is, of course, otherwise with men
whose taxes amount to from $1,000 to S. 900.
Some delinquents appear on the books as owing
the State from "a, 900 to $40, 500 = year. These
sums they can loan ut high rates OF interest, and
from the profits Of their speculations keep the
court and other officials in good humvr. am
assured that hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
are retained in this way. The loss to the city
ia twofold. Each year all unpaid bills have to be-
put in suit. and although this Is very often done
for form sake only heavy expenses for adver-
tising and ourt--charees must be incurred. The
money necessary to meet these expenses il fire.

AN EXPLANATION OF THAT 1875 WHICH AN ODD FELL

UNKNOWN PERSON.

Some twenty five years ago All enterprising
young man, just starting business in this town,
had the misfortune to be burned out. The loss
involved all his capital, and would have been
parAlyzing to q less energetic and industrious
man. But his motto was nil desperandum. lie
rose like Phoenix from his ashes aud prospered
apace. At the time OF his loss, among the little
aids he received from the benevolent, was \ ton
dollar donation from the relief fund OF the lodge
above referred to. This favor WAS never forgot

him that it would be graceful thing to return
the money with interest," The act promptly fol
lowed the thought, and twenty five dollars was
added 10 the resources Of the lodge in question.
We accdently learned the above facts, and
withhold the name Of the party because We are

Of fire was given and though the weather was
fearfully cold and the distance to run consdera-
ble the firemen with their engines, were promptly
on the ground to stay the flames and arrest their

burning of the chapel of Zion NJ. L. Church Oh
the South Side, beyond Third street BRIDGE and
Chrce adjacent tenements which were uri-
occupied. The fire originated in the latter, and
