SAD srenr.-The Gold Hill Nevs

SAD SIGHT. The Gold Hill NetpS Of
June 9th records this
To day while the Belcher miners we're
being paid off man whose eyos had been
burned out by giant powder while work
ing under ground, stood at the door to
re eli e what the "boys" in the goodness
of their hearts were willing to give. In
side n young man with book sat md
received contributions for the benefit Of n
wo an whose husband was killed in a
mine not long since. Both appeals TO
the charity OF the miners we're heartily
responded to and the trade dollars came
down right literally. Every month there
is similar appeal nude, and, be it snd
TO the honor of the miners, if tn object is
il any degree worthy, the hands of the
supplcunts are not sent away empty.
I'm postor- sometimes impose themselves
upol the good nature of these men but as
a gencial thing the parties to whom relief
i. granted are those well known in the
community. In some cases three or four
thousand dollars have been realized by
the % voluntary contributions.

RELIEVE THE TAXPAYER.

Among the most important and advanta-
geous measures which have been offered to
the consideration of the Legislature this SEES.
sion are those bills having for their object the
relief Of the taxpayers Of the city and State.
It is we'll known fact that for several years
past property has deprecated in Louisiana to
an almost ruinous extent, and that property
owners have not only failed to realize any
thing from their real estate, but have lost
much Of the wealth they acq uired previously
or from other sources. To their lot it falls to
pay the principal amount Of the money re-
quired to keep the government on foot, and
they have had to sustain the great burden Of
the thievery and corruption for which the
officials of our State have been notorious for
several years past Now that the Legislature
is largely composed Of men who were sent
there to effect the best and spsediest reforms
possible, the taxpayers have right to . large
share OF their attention.
It is Q matter of no surprise that such
large number of our property holders have
been behindhand in thu payment Of their
taxes; they could not help being so with the
high valuation placed upoc their property,
and the excessive taxation they were called
upon to pay when the property did not. nor
will not now. yield an income large enough to
enable them to do SO and live; this
being the case, how can they be expected to
pay the tax with the addition of immense
costs and penalties. It ia doubtless proper IA
q rule to provide some punishment for delin-
quents, but when people are delinquants only
because they are really compelled to be such.
IF what use can it be to increase the very
burdens their inability to carry which has
Iubiected them to the laws displeasure

CAPT. EADs TO THE FRONT.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat of the 18th
inst, takes up the nomination by the Scientific
American of that able engineer and distin-
guished citizen, Capt. James B. Eads, for the
Presidency. We take this occasion to reiterate
our previous Endorsement and to say further,
that in Capt Eads the country would find q
man Of large brain, Of catholic spirit, of
sterling worth and rigid integrity man
who would be President of the whole coun-
try and devote his great energies to develop
ing it's resources builder up and not o
puller down. The following is the article
from the Globe-Democrat:
The Scientific American seems to have made
q good start in the new business of President
making. Its nomination OF Capt Eads for
President receives the following hearty in
dorsement from the New Orleans BULLETIN:
"rhe Scientific American in its last number,
pays the following handsome and merited
compliment to the great engineer who has
spanned the Father OF Waters with the most
magnificent bridge in America and who is
about to open our river to the commerce of
the world by removing an impeachment which
has de6ed the brightest intellects and the
most accomplished engineers for almost
century. We don't know. nor do we care
what Capt. Eads's politics may be, but we be-
lieve the country would be benefited and
honored if so able, distinguished and emf.
nently worthy citized could be elected as its
Chief Magistrate.
Egypt, Also has been heard from, and the
Cairo Gazette supports the nomination first,
last and all the time. In its issue Of February
7th, it says:
1--WE second, with all our might, the nomi.
nation of Col James B. Eads for the Presi-
dency of the United States. No man in
America has stronger claims upon the sup
port of the people, and upon no man that can
be named would the millions of the Missis-
sippi Valley unite with greater heartiness and
unanimity. Pursuing the paths Of peace, his
achievements have been such as have won for
him the admiration OF the enlightened world,
and such as will stand, when centuries have
passed, as monuments to his scientific attain
ments, end to his devotion to the interests
of the American people. A statesman, q
scholar, q man of science, q Democrat, but
not blatant politician, he's the very man the
situation calls for"

RELIEF AND RESPITE TO OUR CITY.

It is the occasion of no little regret that the
city's plan Of funding and redeeming her
enormous bonded debt-after it has had the
unqualified Endorsement of the Mayor and
Council, the Chamber of Commerce. the
Property Holders Union, the unanimous
House of Representatives, and many large
holders of bonds here and abroad-should
still enlist opposition or receive at most q
lukewarm approval. II is no partisan scheme,
as is evident from its approval by the Govern
or and Republicans of the House on one side
and by the Council and Democrats Of the
House on the other. It is q measure thor
oughly guarded against any suspicion of ca
tering to speculative purposes or to personal
emolument There is nothing in it to impair
the obligations of contracts, or to set up any
one class of legal bonds over another, or to
cause any sudden variation in the value Of
bonds If an exchange of all old bonds could
be made for the premium bonds the pressure
upon taxpayers for 1876 would be reduced
by q million; in 1877 the reduc-
ton would be nearly as much, nor
would the oppressed property Of the city in
any year Of this century be called on for more
than two.thirds of what has been paid in in
terest alone for several years and which must
still be paid if the old plan is adhered to.
Thus the plan gives assurance of that which
the city now most needs-Rslief Whether
the exchange is entire or partial, proper.
tionate benefit must follow. The exchange
being voluntary, it will Of course
be regulated by the views Of the holders
Of old bonds, but whether the owners
of any class of old bonds exchange them
for the bonds Of the premium series or not,
they can not fail to be benefited. In proper
ton as the debt of the city is cancelled what
remains of it from year to year must increase
in market value. Real estate being relieved
of two-thirds of former taxes. must advance
proportionally. The city government could
then obey the maxim which John Randolph |
called the philosophers stone" Pay as you
CO."
The legislative sanction to this great meas
ure Of relief and reform would at once infuse
new life into the corporate and Individual f.
nances of the city. Millions of capital would
be unlocked that is now idle. Strangers
would no longer fear to handle our securities
or invest in the real estate of New Orleans.
The desired legislation is to give form and
executory effect to the amendment Of the
State Constitution, which limits the city debt
and allows her to exchange new bonds for old
A measure more completely anti-partisan and
non. political in character can scarcely be
imagined, and it is greatly to be hoped that
the Senate will SO view it and act upon it
with promptituie and an unselfsh regard for
The relief of this distressed city.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

The sue cess of the New Orleans Pacific
Road, the only practical plan now in course
of prosecution to open and establish railroad
connections with the State of Texas, depends
for its success upon the contributions of our
people Of sufficient amount to insure the
payment for the work.
The experienced and practical gentlemen in
charge Of this company and Of the work it
has undertaken, do not propose to prosecute
it upon any other principles than those Of
cash payments and Of the strictest economy
Of management. They have assumed the
enormous labor and responsibility attaching to
their positions to promote no selfish interest.
There is no speculation in their plan. They
mean nothing but business, and that business
il to construct the road, as rapidly as posi-
bic, without any profit to themselves beyond
their participation, with all other citizens, in
the general benefits to our city, from the in
crease of trade which must result from such
contamination.
All that they need is fair contribution to
the stock by our citizens, the owners of the
ons hundred and twenty millions dollars Of
assessable property of the city. These con-
tributions will not be gratuities. They will
be good investments. There is no road in
the United States which can be constructed
more cheaply and will yield better returns
upon the capital invested, when that capital
is applied in the manner proposed and by the
reliable persons charged with its distribution.
But even if given as gratuities the invest
ment is the best one which can be made by
our people, since it will be applied to the
only measure by which our trade can be re-
stored and our future development and pros
perity secured. Without this road or the
assurance of its early completion, the ap-
preaching summer will be one Of sorrowful
import, presaging gloomy winter or bust
ness season that will prove the beginning of
the approaching downfall and decline of New
Orleans as the great commercial mart Of the
Southwest. To prevent so disastrous . con-
,lusion of the fair promise of our city, it
behooves every good citizen to exert himself
10 the utmost Of his ability to procure such
and cooperation as will make
his enterprise q glorious certainty and reality.

LET Us HEAR FROM DUB FRIENDS.

We have been patiently waiting for the &C
ton Of Congress in the Louisiana case. We
were promised early and satisfactory action
ON the part Of the House of Representatives,
but a. yet there has not come to Us from that
quarter one cru NIB of comfort, one ray OF
hope. 1t begins to look very much IS If the
declaration Of special correspondent from
Washington, 4 few days ago. that Louisiana
was to be left to herself, was to be verified.
It is becoming more and more apparent that
the National Democratic party stands in NOR
tai dread of Louisiana. That it has profited
by the long continued and heroic struggle of
our people is true; that large number Of
those De mocrats who occupy seats in the
lower hous OF Congress owe their election to
the odium which We cast upon the Radical
party by our persistent struggle against the
usurpation set up in this State by Federal
bayonets, we sincerely believe; and We have
been lost in amazement that this reconstruct
ed House. this Democratic House, should find
no leisure, should have, apparently, no inc(t
nation to make even . protest against the
COuAu uoOO0 Al IAAo 0t0Vo VI 6OvOS0AAAc0t uu-
republican in its every feature and con-
demned as usurpation pure and simple by
even the most intense partisans Of the Re.
publican Senate.
It looks very m uch as if our National
Democratic friends were wearied Of US and
proposed to stand aloof from Louisiana in the
present and the future, as they have done in
the past. We are free to say that, in view Of
this injustice. in view Of the heartless indifer-
ence manifested by the Democratic House of
for this State that our people |
should counsel together as to what is best to |
be done-relying upon themselves alone, and |
without counting upon the aid or active SYM
psthy Of the National party. The time is
most critical, and q false move on our part
an ill-advised action, may result in disaster to
The Slate for four years more. The future is
big with events Of the utmost importance to
Louisiana, and We need the counsel of calm
heads, of men whoss interests and whose
Eates are bound up in our State. and who
would not see her turned over for four years
more to political marauders.

There are very many Of our Taxpayers who
are willing to settle their back taxes, but are
not able to pay the interest, costs and penal
ties which have accrued since the levy
of the tax. What does it avail to seize
and sell the property? 1t rarely, if
ever, brings more than one-half Of the
judgment, and is it not better then for
the government to abandon the execution
Of 9 law the result Of which must be unfortu-
nate for it and distressful to the victim, and
take what the taxpayer offers, the principal,
canceling all interest and costs. It is useless
to say that the property Of the State must pay
the expenses of government, whatever
they amount to. The reverse is the true
theory: the government must be conducted
SO as to cost only what can be realized from
the property without unreasonsbly distressing
the owners. The passage Of those measures
which have for their object the relief Of the
taxpayers viii not only secure large sum of
money for the treasury. but will inspire new
hope and vigor into the property holders, and
give them some encouragement to improve
their lands; by doing which they will give an
push to the tagging prosperity
which is SO tardy in visiting Louisiana. Let
our legislators lift the burdens from the
of the real friends of the State, and
give them the opportunity and the power to
RbOr.
