PARTISAN INTOLERANCE.

The Too Republics has the following
notice Of the party fight now going on in
Mexico. 1t says:
The papers devoted to tho interests OF the
| Church party are unceasing in their attacks
upon the government and it's officers and
keep up continued warfare with the Lib
eral press. Most OF the charges against
| the administration are meaningless or
frivolous; the criticisms are always severe
aud often unjust. The opposition, without
advocating policy OF their own, syste-
matically censur6 that of the present gov
| eminent; while they condemn the actual
state of affairs, they propose nothing to
better it. We see every day long and well
written articles den0uncing REAL or sup
posed abuses. but rarely, if ever see them
discussed in dispassionate manner; their
remedy is seldom advocated or sought, for
this achievement would be one arm
less in the hands of the opposition-one
point of attack less on the side of
the government. Peace and prosperity.
under the present administration, are not at
all desired by the portion of the press to
which We allude, while they would hail
anarchy, disaster and hard times with
patriotic glee.
This Just observation is here added:
We believe an opposition is very neces-
sary to pure government, but a dignitied
opposition, not d system of abuse and exag-
geration. Ii the administration should err,
let its errors be pointed out to be remedied,
and to prevent repetition of the same. If
measures are thought to be unwholesome.
tn propose something better would be an
act of patriotism. The Church party can
boast of men OF ability, whose intellects
might be of great service to the nation as
well as to their party.
This impartial censor thus awards a
share of censure to the friends Of the gov
eminent:
The liberal press not only defend the
government, but carry the war into the
enemy's domain. They defend themselves
with the same weapons with which they
are attacked, and perhaps with a little more
vigor. They constitute themselves the
guardians of the laws Of reform and are
very Jealous OF their infringement. If a
religious procession should march through
the streets of village the cry of alarm is
Immediately raised. Ii a priest passes
through the streets dressed in ecclesiastical
robes, the outrage is forthwith denounced.
If church bells are rung for mass, the Lib
eral papers proclaim the fact with horror
and demand the punishment of the curate
of the parish. One paper announces the
startling fact that there is actually in exist
ence in the State of Tabasco o convent;
another, wishing to be as enterprising, de-
nounces a fictitious Jesuit college in Santa
Maria de Ia Ribera. 1t is rumored that the
archbishop rides out in an open carriage,
dressed in the purple of his office, and .
vail goes up at the negligence Of the police

crat can SO disguise himself by affected
speech or color as to obtain their conf
dence. There are many persons classed
with the Democracy who are just and kind
in their relations toward the negroes, but
every indication of the national party
shows that unless the negroes will consent
to bestow their votes as the Democracy
may direct, their right of suffrage would
be repealed, and their failure to labor be
made penal.
The attempt, therefore, of the Democ-
racy here to prove themselves the friends
of the colored people is dead and disas-
trous failure. Voters who must carry a
pass and permit, hborers who are turned
out Of employment, men assailed with
ridicule for trying to do their duty as
legislators or officers, will show their per-
secutors that they have at least feeling
enough to recognize and resent an insult,
and sufficient intelligence to distinguish
between real and pretended friends.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1875-03-14

expected to ind the same tendency. TO
weakness in the proposed remedies. Here
is one:
If this could be accomplished by selling
every dollar of property it possesses, even
gain to the community.
The object to be accomplished is to pu,
the city on cash basis. But selling the
city property would not afford the desired
relief 1t would be, rather, like man
burning his fence rails and furniture fol
fuel, because be happened to be too lazy
or too timid to go to the forest for wood.
All the public property in use by the city
is indispensable for public use and con-
venience. If any were sold its place would
have to be supplied in another way, prob
ably by lease, SO that in the end the city
would find itself Invested of indispensable
property for which only half price has
been received, and its current expenses
increased by the demands for the payment
of rent. Besides this, the small amount
which it would be possible to realize from
the sale of city property would not secure
cash basis, nor anything like it. On the
contrary, an attempt Of the kind would be
likely to raise false hopes in the minds of
taxpayers, 1t would not take much to
make them believe it possible to get along
with the fence and furniture burning plan
so that no assistance would be required
from them.
If We are to have ruin let it come in the
regular way. Do not anticipate it, by
meeting it half way, and assist it by de-
stroying the best assets in the city's DOS
session. In any case no great relief need
be expected from any regulation which
involves the evasion or neglect of duty by
anybody, either taxpayer or officer. Many
people, and large proportion of these OF
the poorer classes, do pay their taxes.
Were those who can pay but do not COM
PEELED to comply with the, law q chief
difficulty would disappear. But nothing
can be done by temporizing 1t will be
found that the unwillingness to pay taxes
will be enhanced by every prospect of
getting q dollar from any other source.
1t is not the province of the city govern
ment to suggest to the owners of private
property how to manage their own con-
Germs. Nor is it any valid reason to remit |
mans tax that he has spent more than !
his income. That is his lookout. If |
people are to be excused from the pay
ment of taxes on the plea that they own
more unproductive property than they
can pay for there will soon be an end of
government
We should divest public affairs of
arge portion Of the sentiment which has
been lugged into it by ofice-seekers be-
ore elections. States can not be run upon
'uca basis. If the people will try the
'eady pay system all round, and do some
hing to prepare themselves for the dis
'harge of all their duties, social and
political, there will be little necessity for
cling the public property to pay interest
nd salaries.

slider at all the status of Governor Kel-
logg it must be at session of both
houses. It is Legislative question, and
requires concurrent action. This can
only be had when both houses are sit
ting, even though one body may have
reached conclusion. The adjournment
operates as suspension of the question
till both again meet. An extra session
of the other body only can not take up
the question any more than reassemb-
lage of the first could reconsider its de-
termination when it had passed from it.
But the validity of the claims of
member of the Senate or House is q
privileged question to be considered by
each house, and is in order at any time.
The Senate having been convened for q
special purpose, can only consider ques-
tons with which tie House has nothing
to do. Were both houses called in extra
session the mistake on this action might
have had some foundation. On this sub
ject Gov ernor Kellogg has received
the following dispatch from a prominent
federal official:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March IL, 1875.
Senate decided in caucus to consider only
the resolution recognizing Pinchback,
it being q privileged question and execu-
tive bus mess, and that resolution formally
you was legislative business,
and could not be considered until regular
session. Your status is not questioned.
Senators " no may vote against Pinchback
on personal grounds will vote for recog-
milton of your government.
This is sufficient to show that if it
we're proper for the Senate to consider
other questions than those relating to
executive business Governor Kellogg has
nothing to apprehend from the Senate.

ERTY,

The Price Current takes shy at the city
finance question, which it thinks is differ
ent from the State financial question. To
sustain this remarkable assuneEon, the
editor tells us the difficulties of the State
arose from the destruction of wealth by
war and misgovernment; those of the city
from a withholding of back taxes. It
does not make much difference about the
origin of trouble. The vital question is
how to- get ont oft. In our judgment the
city has suffered quite as severely from
war and misgovernment as the State,
while the latter is creditor for 4 long list

for permitting it; the ofRcial organ of th

There is then this gentle satire ad
ministered to both partisans:
Seeing that SO much attention is given t.
these weighty matters, we suppose as
| matter of course that things of such small
importance as internal improvements, TIL
| opening up of the mines of the country. III
Development of commerce and the introduction
| Of emigration hare been arranged to the sat
| isfaction Of all parties. [Our italics.
But the Too Republics is mistaken il
this:
We confess, we see no similarity between
| the opposition here and those of other
| countries.
If the editor will visit the United
States he will find exactly the same op-
position here. He will find q party "un.
ceasing in their attacks upon the govern
ment; charges against the administration
meaningless or frivolous; an opposition
which without advocating policy of their
own, systematically oppose that of the
present government; while they con-
denim the actual state of affairs, pro-
pose nothing to better it; and anarchy,
disaster hailed with patriotic glee."
Such is our testimony of the conduct of
our opponents. 1t is probable that if the
editor Of the Too Republics would inter-
view our opponents, it might procure the
opinion that the Republican press was
amenable to some of the charges in the
second count of the indictment. We can
not, however, guard the editor too care
fully against believing word that our
opponents can possibly say against us.
We enter this caveat because we an
ticipate our opponents will attempt to
prejudice the mind of the visitor in its
favor and against our innocent and vir-
tuous selves.
Such is, however, the nature of the
partisan in politics and religion. Such it
is in all countries, and such it will always
be. The press prints what the people
buy. There is dull market for sermons
and so they print lampoons. The opening
of silver mine does not compare as
sale sensation with the closing of the
polls. The development of commerce,
with limitation of the rights of suffrage
or of habeas corpus, and the introduction
of immigration is entirely subordinate to
the exclusion of a carpet-bagger.
At all events we can assure the Too
Republics that we take our share of the
satire in good part, and in schoolboy
phrase assure it that it was not us that
began this, but "that other fellow"
