ATTORNEY GENERAL FIELDS AND
THE TAX-OOLLEOTURS.
CAN THE STATE PAY ITS INTEREST

We learn that Attorney General Field has
asked the State Treasurer for list of tax
collectors who have failed to make their final
settlements for the year ending December,
1874, as well as for list Of tax-collectors in
the city who have failed to make their
monthly settlements.
This is done with the view Of indicting the
delinquent tax-collectors and of proceeding
against their bondsmen. The law requires
the tax-collector of the parish of Orleans to
settle every month, and collectors in the
country parishes every three months.
It is alleged that not more than fifteen tax
collectors have as yet made their settlements
for the last quarter ending April LIST, and this
neglect, if continued and countenanced, would
work irreparable injury to the credit Of the
State, inasmuch as, if all the bonds were
funded which are now held abroad and in
New York, the State would inevitably be again
in default in its interest.
The State, it will be remembered, owes
interest On every old bond when funded at
seven per cent for 1874, and there will be
three and half per cent more due on the
LIST Of July On tho funded bonds.
The Fiscal Agent has not on hand sufficient
interest funds to meet the coupons for the
eighteen months due July LIST next, and
unless the tax collectors are stirred up with
pretty long pole, the.holders Of bonds will
either have to whistle for their interest or the
State 60 upon the streets as borrower for at
least half million to meet its coupons.

Men Of taste are often annoyed with the

cant actions Of public men. It is Of minor
consequence to men vino wish to keep them
selves informed of public affairs, whether a
prominent official smokes cigars or pi. es,
drinks water, or wine, or coffee, drives two
horses or one, rides in his carriage or in
street cars buys his clothing in store OF has
it made to order. Such men are not inter-
ested in knowing the full particulars of the
private lives Of public men and of their fami.
lies. It is equally disgusting to hear or read
criticisms upon the triding faults of candi-
dates for official places. The people who
think and who vote according to their con-
victions desire to know whether the candidate
of their own party is gentleman, capable Of
the duties Of confidence; but they are not at
all interested in knowing the minute of his
history, the details of his personal affairs, the
items Of his daily bill Of fare. the traits and
freaks Of his children, his haunts and jour
neyings, or his pastimes and his companions.
For more reasons than one, political jour
nalists Of both parties ought to vindicate the
dignity Of their vocation by refusing to en-
courage, initiate or countenance this method
Of petty warfare on candidates, through their
petty peculiarities, relations or even fIults.
We have our sphere to fill and we ought to
demand enough Of consideration to allow us
to turn our faces against what does no good to
any just and honorable cause, but must ever
make 'the judicious grieve." We, in our day
and generation, are to do our part in correct
ing errors Of doctrine, in helping the people
to solve the great questions Of government,
in delineating the history of current events
in such comments on the affairs of the day as
they seem to demand, and with such warnings
and admonitions as our experience and patient
thought may prompt. But we are not com
nor paid, nor thanked, for
noting the little acts and triding surroundings
Of persons made temporarily conspicuous as
candidates. Let us have done with distorting
triaes and magnifying the little actions Of the
men of the hour.

RADICAL CONSISTENCY.

President Grant strengthened himself
immeasurably by some of his vetoes. He has
an opportunity to gain even more largely in
public confidence by selecting new Secre-
tary of the Interior and Attorney General
We know that he cannot wish to have in his
Cabinet men who bring an unssvory odor
upon his administration, and who are con-
tinually scheming and using their influence
for measures and policies which the people
strongly disapprove. A prompt change in
these places would bring the President the
most cordial thanks and warm congratulations
from the great body Of honest and patriotic
Republican voters.
The above paragraph is culled by us from
. lengthy article of the paper miscalled the
St. Louis Democrat, but which is one Of the
dirtiest Radical sheets in the United States,
with the solitary exception Of the Washington
ring organ and the Chicago Inter- Ocean. The

inasmuch as it congratulated the great Third
Termite on the dismissal of Delano, the an
nouncement of which has now turned out to
belong to that class Of news characterized as
''too good to be true
We are not sufficiently well posted about
the Democrats books to realize how far that
delectable Administration organs exchequer
will be affected by the premature announce
ment Of Dslaao's highly polite retirement
from Grants Cabinet, but We cheerfuily con-
cur for once with that remarkable exponent of
public opinion when it says that "neither
Secretary Delano nor Attorney General Will
Hams has given strength to the administration
of President Grant. Rumors of an unpleas-
ant nature about them have been almost con.
stantly in circulation, and, without doubt,
have been by many credited. Strange trans
actions in the Interior Department have been
often reported and by hopeful Republicans
passed over, with an earnest desire to see
them explained, and yet with confidence that
the President would not retain the Secretary |

A PAINFUL DELUSION.

The more the act passed at the extra ses-
sion for the relief Of the taxpayers of the
State is considered, the more absurd and i'm
rractible do its provisions appear. Not only
is the act unconstitutional SO far as it pro-
vides for the receipt of bonds for back taxes,
but it could not possibly hold water even so
far as the school, interest and levee taxes are
concerned.
As for the four mills general fund tax, the
Funding bill provides that it shall be paid in
cash and the proceeds devoted to the pay
ment of the judges warrants-no other pro-
vision being made for these-while all other
legal warrants are fundable on the same basis
as bonds.
The very object Of the Funding Act, as
expounded by Kellogg and Clinton, was to
get rid Of the floating debt by partial re-
pudiation, and thereby enable the State to get
back to cash basis.
This being the case, it is quite incompre-
hensible how legislators could have drawn up
an act to make warrants and bonds receiva-
BILE for back taxes. Even if Kellogg should
sign the act, it would unquestionably be en-
joined and lead to complications. The result
of the passage of the act will probably be to
delay the collection of taxes, as all taxpayers,
until officially notified that the act will not be
signed. will naturally hold back in anticipa-
ton Of relief which it is quite impossible
for them now to receive.
