COLLECTION OF CITY TAXES.

We publish in another column two com
munications on the recent action of the Coun-
Gil in regard to the matter Of affording relief
to delinquent Taxpayer and other debtors Of
the city. 1t seems to us very clear that the
measure adopted by the Council, while step
in the right direction, does not 90 far enough,
and that there was more wisdom in the meas
ure proposed by Administrator Landry, which
went 10 the root of the evil. city is like
any other corporation. SO long as it refuses
to receive for its debts its own evidences of
indebtedness, just SO long will its credit be
low, and ust so long ought it to be low
Wherein is there any more sacredness attach
ing to debt due by the city, than to a debt
due to the city?
Ia all cases where the city hands are not
tied by the outrageous laws passed by Radical
Legislatures the evidences of Indebtedness
issued by the city should be received for all
debts due the city. We must get rid of the
terrible incubus Of the floating debt, and we
see no way Of doing this except by absorbing
legally issued obligations of every kind in the
payment Of past dues to the city
Is it not a gross and cruel injury to seize
and sell the property OF a poor man, or a rich
man either for that matter, for past due
taxes, when he may own enough city scrip to
more than pay off all his Indebtedness.
We believe the gentlemen elected to repre-
sent the people in the city government are
anxious to do the very best for the city's in
terest They may hold diverse views and opin-
ions on matters of taxation and the collection
of taxes, but they will no doubt, after mature
conclude to do what shall seem
to be most conducive to the welfare and hap |
piness OF their constituents. They know how
poor the people are; they know how hard it is
for even rich men now "a days to realize upon |
their property ana their goods, and hence
they will leave nothing undone that can in
any way lessen the heavy load of the tax
payers.
They will not grow FESTIVE if their acts are
not all applauded by the people or are even
for they have been elected to
nigh and difficult positions at a time when
.yen the most brilliant financial ability and
he most earnest desire to please would prob
IDLY fall short Of popular expectation.

THE PACIFICATION OF THE SOUTH.

There Is one passage in Senator Conkling 5
recent speech on Louisiana which We trust that
none Of our readers, North or South, have over
looked. Ii is this Show me mode to pacify
the South and no matter what party opposes it..
my vote it shall have. No party can live that
stands III the way of the prosperity of the South.
The Republican party has not an aspiration, an
attribute, conviction a prejudice, prayer,
which would not be outraged by hostility 10 any
thing which would rea ly tranqulze the South "
Now, we appeal, i'll all god faith, 10 Senator
Conkling to tell us if he really believes that the
measure or measures said to have been agreed
upon last week i'll the Republican caucus are
calculated to : tranqullize the South or to per
manently benefit the North ". \. Tunes
FtJrudry 10th.
SO far as the utterances of Senator Conkling
are concerned we attach very little import
ance to them, as they are the words of a
demagogue and a vindictive Radical, who has
by his words out Of Congress and his votes in
the Senate proved his unconquerable hatred
of the Southern people and his willingness to
do anything that his master might command
to degrade and humble them. He has voted
for every obnoxious measure ever proposed
against the South he has sustained the Kel-

another to which he has been subjected Gems to

when the majority in Congress is no longer
friendly to him. If this last message had be en-
intended to show civilians that he did not car
two straws for their opinions, it could not have
been more effectively drawn; and indeed, it has
a ring Of indifference to the usages Of civil gov
and to the considerations and processes
on which political action in constitutional coan.

without vague alarm.

President with fulsome praises and for him to
pirate about wishing to pacify the South is
adding insult to injury. The paciti-
cation Senator Conkling would like to
see, doubtless, if We are to judge man
by his acts and words, would be some
thing akin to total annihilation. If the
Southern people the Southern white people,
we mean were all dead, they would cease to
trouble the handsome Senator, and have
achieved the peacetulness he perhaps contem
plated when he made his hypocritical speech.
But how about the New York Times Is the
Times anxious to see peace and prosperity re-
turn to the South? If so, we would suggest
that it decline hereafter to print the impossi-
bic talsehoods which we have occasionally Of
late found in its columns.
The very measures concerning which the
Times makes inquiry Of Senator Conkling
have not been very vigorously denounced
in its columns. The Times is an able paper
and it evidently sees the handwriting on the
wall. Why not come out and say at once that
the action proposed by the caucus was not
only revolutionary but reasonable and that
the fact that the President Of the United
States Endorsed the caucus bill and urged its
passage proves him to be a traitor to his
country.
Why not ask Congress to impeach the man
who dared to ask and demand the passage OF
laws by Congress which would have invested |
him with vaster powers than the Gar Of Rus
term or even seize the absolute control of the
government

PUT GENTLEMEN ON GUARD.

There is some significance in the election
the United States Senate by the Lagisla
ture of West Virginia of Hon. ALLEN I.
CAPERToS to succeed Hon. ARTHUR J. BORE
MAN, Republican, whose term will expire
March 3D. Caperton was nominated and
supported by six Democratic members. His
supporters steadily increased through more
than forty ballotings, when he was finally
| elected.
The Capertons of Monroe are among the
leading men Of Virginia as it was, and Of
West Virginia now. Their ancestors were Of
the foremost men of England, and subse-
quently patriots in the war Of the Revolution.
Allen I. Caperton was a member of the Sen
ate of the Confederate States Congress, dis
tinguished for ability, dignity and courtesy.
He has served the public in many capaci
ties with uniform success. He will carry to
the Senate great personal influence, and will
be especially welcomed in Congress by all who
know and admire the character of the genu-
Inc old Virginia gentleman, of which Mr..
Caperton is a shining exempiar. 1t is posi-
devoted constituents, nor do anything deroga-
tory to the honor or injurious to the inter
ests Of his State, nor suffer it to be done if in
his power to prevent it. He will be a wei
come resident in the Federal capital, where
he will meet with hundreds who have long
been accustomed to hold his name in high
esteem.
This election is an evidence of the instinct
i've devotion with which Nirginians adhere to
their good and able men who belong to the
class Of gentlemen. 1t is a common instinct |
(which we wish was universally to trust the |
guidance of public affairs to men of high |
whose lives have been pure and
and whose pedigree is without
blemish
1t will be proud day for the people of our
own unfortunate State when they can be rep
'esented in the Senate Of the Republic by
me of their own friends, fellowcitizen and
gentleman of the olden school. 1t will be
fortunate day for our country when the
people learn that they can safely entrust their
lonor, their interests and their liberty to
zone but gentlemen.

lima De Murska,

The announcement that Mile. lima De Murska
the charming cantatrice will shortly give seres
OF concerts, has created quite furore in the
musical circles of this city. Her great success
in the old world, and the repetition Of her
triamphs since her advent in this country last
season, have created considerable interest in our
community who anxlously await her coming.
Nile. De Murska will be assisted by the fol-
lowing talented artists: Mile. Teresa Carreno, a
distinguished pianiste, lately with Carlo Patti and
the Mario concert troupe; Siguor Ferranti. the
famous baritone butfo; Monsieur Sauret the eel
ebrated young vocalist who made his first visit to
America with Patti and the Mario concert troupe;
sig. Gaetano Braga, viohncelist and composer,
and Chas. E. Pratt accompanied.
Mr. De Vvo, it will be remembered, was the
gentleman who introduced Madame Ristori and
other celebrated European artists to this country
and we think that his past managerial career
may be taken as an earnest of what our people
may expect from the artists now under his
charge
