kTTI-NONCPOLT,

The Times appears to be the steady adj
vocate Of conveying some principal ele-
ments Of popular subsistence to individual
control. It has been some years and
several administrations since tie Times
defended the legality Of the butchers
meat monopoly, in the stock or bonds Of
which its then managers were supposed
to have an interest: 1t has now resumed
the advocacy OF sale Of tie market
revenues, and even recommends that the
waterworks should be returned to private
ownership, which held it in monopoly
some years since. As We do not be-
leve that this practice Of pawning
the property Of the city and hiring out
the victuals and water Of the people
prevails in s.. Louis OF any other
city having regard to the wants of the
people we Will explain to the Times the
objections 20 water monopoly in New
Orleans. Those who have never yet
spent summer here will find that season
very dry and very long. They Will find
the city monopolist Of the river water
It sells this water to a portion Of the peo-
pie, but much the largest number depend
upon cis.erns and even barrels for their
drinking and washing water Sometimes,
indeed, the city will do what monopolist
never would DO. It opens a hydrant
during drouth, ard the thirsty poor come
from squares away with their buckets to
get little water for their little ones.
1t is unnecessary to remind the intel
Egent conductor Of the Times that the
prosperity OF a city depends on its working
people. # rents, food and fuel are cheap;
they can sell their labor in competition
with others elsewhere. IF, however,
their meat, water and other elements of
subsistence are costly; if taxation is so
high that the landlord exacts high rents
from the tenant, then this working popu-
lation must 60 elsewhere or suffer here.

| scious Of the fact that their own neglect
or willful default, year after year, had
justly debarred them from any claim upon
the consideration their more prompt
and better disposed fellow-citizens. I. is
fact that the maudlin public sympathy
for people who would not pay their debts,
aroused by political attorneys who saw
more profit in public Office than in private
practice, has had its day, and the convic-
! ton become general that those who can
not afford to carry their due part Of the
load had better sell or be sold out to
somebody who can. We are no advocate
Of high assessments or heavy taxes, but
when the levy has been made and fairly
distributed We do most earnestly contend
for its rigid and impartial collection as
matter Of simplest justice and creates.
general good.
In this connection We desire to call at
tention to the provisions of a very little
known statute-ac: No. IO5 Of ISL
which opens field for speculation Of a
kind that has become a regular business
N some Of the Northern States Many
OF the properties sold by tax collectors are
bid in by and titles made in the name of
the State. The act mentioned above con-
iers upon collectors the power to suisse
quently sell and transfer such property
by act before any notary, ''to any person
who shall tender and pay to said collector
the amount Of the taxes due, with all
penalties and costs" Here is a fine
chance for persons in moderate circum-
stances to secure home, and whatever Of
conscientious scruples may now exist will
soon fade away upon scanning the &C.
cumulated delinquencies charged against
owned by non-residents, who
manifest no interest in our community |
save as its distresses or prosperity
lengthen or diminish their rent rolls.
Section four Of this same law provides
a means of paying the purchase price
which renders the investment sill more
advantageous. Nearly the entire amount
may be paid in auditors warrants bear
ing date prior to January l, 1874, and as
these are now quoted in the market at
about thirty cents On the dollar, we would
suggest to holders that this is a better
way to get rid Of Improbable paper than
sven by funding it.

ABOUT TAX SALES,

1t is an unpleasant duty, but if the
Picay,ne will misinform the public, we
feel compelled to occasionally set the
innocent public right again. OF course,
to assume this duty on oil occasions when
our impetuous young contemporary goes
astray would be imposing task too
severe even for our well established PHI
lanthropy and charitable disposition.
In the matter of act No. Il, recently
promulgated, and which struck the well
informed as being entirely superfaous
legislation, the Picayme ass erts:
This law settles disputed Question as TO
the right of other persons than those whose
property is sold at tax sales to redeem if,
and it is. calculated to prevent collision
between the tax collectors and other officers
charged with the collection of the revenue
and property owners to effect "a cancellation
OF mortgages held by others
The question was not in dispute, every
tax collectors title issued bearing this
clause:
1t being, however. we'll ur derstool and
hereby expressly stipulated that, in conform
ity with law, the owner of said property, Or
any creditor or agent of the owner, may re-
deem the same at any time within six
months after the day OF sale, by paying. etc.
1t will be seen that mortga gees of prop
erty sold prior to the passa sc of act No.
1ineed not alarm themselves about the
safety of their investments within the
legal delay-which period the new law
does not change. 1t will also appear that,
the assumptions being false, the gratu;-
tous fling at the integrity of the public
officers upon whom the law imposes the
disagreeable duty of con Quoting these
sales, assumes very sma .and picayune-
ish character.
An attempt has been made by the
Democratic press to arouse sympathy for
the sufferers aud violent i'll will against
the government on account of these sales
for taxes; and particularly has been cited
as cause for indignation the advertising
of small properties the tax bills on which
are less in amount than the costs of sale.
The attempt signally failed for the very
excellent reasons that people who do not
pay taxes took very little interest in the
matter; that those who do had very little
to spare for pers ons whose de-
linquency but increased t heir own bur
dens, and further, because q majority of
he supposi,itious victims were self-con-

HARMONY OF tbs RACES.

Senator Pinchbach has addressed 6
large assemblage of his constituents, com
prising men Of both races and Of opposite
| opinions. In forcible and well consid-
cred address be has demonstrated an
ability adequate to the representation OF
the interests confded to him. He has,
| moreover, expressed sentiments of indie
| pendent action, which show a confident
| ability to bear whatever share Of public
responsibility may be thrown upon men
Of the race Of which Mr.. Pinchback APP
pears the representative. The great
problem involved in the act of emancipa-
ton can not be solved in day, perhaps
not in generation; but there must be
the patience and self-respect inculcated
by Senator Pinchback on the one side,
with aid and forbearance on the other.
From this will be evolved the permanent
harmony CT interest and sentiment which
will regulate the relations Of the two
races for the future. Such is our reading
Of this phase:
In the management of public affairs and
party concerns wherein our interests are
vitality involved, the country not only ex-
poets. but viii honor the independent.
thoughtful selt.assertion on our part that
refuses to be treated either as political
children needing guardianship or that we
should devolve our work upon others.
It is perhaps natural that those who,
like Mr. Pinchback, possess largely more
than average experience and ability,
SHOULD manifest an impotence of the
obstacles which centuries Of customs
have erected, and which wealth, intelli-
gence and prejudice defend with great
resolution. 1t is even probable in the
providence Of God that these people led
from bondage have been marched through
a wilderness to qualify them for the in
heritance Of freedom intended for them.
1t is 10 be remembered that not all
who cry Lord! Lord to the genius of
republican liberty, are qualified there
by to adopt and appreciate the
blessings Of republican rule. We have
furnished the ready-made raiment of
republican institutions to many peoples
on this continent, emancipated from the
despotism Of kings and priests. They
have wallowed in the mire of political
corruption; they have stained that raj
ment with the blood of civil strife: they
have been, from time to time, RENTED
again to tie rule Of dictator, Or pos
sessed BY the devils Of anarchy. We
estimate highly the patience, moderation
and respec. for law which the colored
people have manifested, and anticipate
,he results referred to from the exercise of
hese qualities. We commend to their
the excellent address and |
sound sentiments OF Senator Pincbback,
md We draw from. this and other circum- |
stances the conviction that all which he
firms and anticipates for the men he
epresents Will he consumnated.

The Picdytne is after the fat fish caught
IN the compromise net even before they
have been safely landed. It sees in the
chiefs place, On the much despised and
abused Metropolitan Police force, what i.
at least thinks ought to disagree with a
Republican Or Democratic stomach, but
would prove most delicious morsel-a
plump, fat pompano-to a Conservative
compromise palate. While we have none
but kindly good wishes, personally, for
the Picdyune's nominee, as General Bad
gers successor, We are confident the
ranks Of the deserving and unrewarded
members of Governor Kelloggs own
party, can furnish ability and breeding"
equal to this emergency; and feel con-
WINGED that the Pics tender solicitude for
the Governors peace Of mind, and warm
desire to relieve him of all responsibility
in selecting a suitable police superintend-
ent is premature and dead waste.
and did the legal l7:ninary of our con-
temporary think to inquire if there is not
a Metropolitan Police Board, with some
powers and responsibilities, in this con-
nection?

Our reporter, in giving an account Of
the Pinchback meeting the other night,
included among the names Of those pres
ent that of Mr.. William A. Bell, for the
purpose, as we suppose, Of rounding of a
paragraph. For this little liberty lie has
got himself into a scrape. More than a
dozen indignant letters were received
yesterday, characterized by various styles
Of chirography and orthography, all
signed by William 4. Bell, and denying
that the writer was there. The original
Bell, however, persists in saying that he
lent the sanction Of his countenance to
the great occasion. As we DO not happen
to know anything about any Of the VIII
liam A. Bells, we leave it to the numerous
proprietors OF that name to settle it among
themselves as to which of them orr re-.
porter meant.
