ize the swearing in Of hundred or so ad-
ditional sergeants-at-arms. We move an
additional proviso in the interest of the
taxpayers of the city-not the members of
the Property Holders Union, for they
have gone daft with meddling in politics,
and are ready to devour each other-but
to the taxpayers who pay their taxes and
all other debts. We submit our proviso
to save threatened expense to the city
treasury. One hundred and fifty SER
geants-at-arms at IS day call for $500.
This sum would retire $4,000 in bonds
every week at par value, and nearly rid
the city fathers from the irritating spectres
of the Misses Maenhaut. The sergeants-
alarms are not required, while the de-
mand for the money in the other quarter
is becoming imperative.

TIE TRADE AT OUR DOORS.

Mr. Dunnell, of Minnesota, in defend
ing the compensation paid American min
listers and consuls, says:
1t was my fortune to spend one year in
the republic Of Mexico. l went Their, l
was compelled to go there, on an English
steamer, subsidized by the English govern
ment and under an English flag. When l
reached the port of Vera Cruz, where l
landed, found there an English consul and
vlce-cOnsul and a clerk; l was there in
the presence of the representatives of the
English government. l was carried there
on an English steamer. Upon the wharf l
found the products of Mexico, and they
were soon taken into the steamer and she
took them away. They were products that
ought to have come to our markets, products
that we ourselves should have fOstered and
taken care of. But we had no steamer
there to take them away.
1t is now proposed to cut down the pay of
the consul at that port. Within the last
twelve years we have had there as consul
an American merchant from the city OF
Brooklyn. who had 50 well watched the
commercial interests Of the United States
at that port that fortunately we now have
q steamer once month going into that har-
Dor.
But there is to-day not q considerable
port in Mexico into which an English
steamer does not go. At Acapulco, Tehuan-
tepec, Vera Cruz, Tsmpioo, Matamoras,

into every port of the Mexican republic.
there goes first On English consul. and tnen
English steamships 70 there and carry away
the products of that country.
This has been somewhat changed SINCE
and American steamers enter or touch at
all of these ports, but the fact remains
that most Of the specie and other pro-
ducts exported from Mexico find their
way direct to England or to Germany.
1t is greatly to be desired that Congress
shall take measures to develop this trade
and conduct it to the United States. We
should exchange manufactures and farm
produce for the precious metals and
tropical products, and our mechanics
could as we'll as those of Europe convert
the raw material of Mexico into the
fabrics of civilized use throughout the
world. Give us a treaty of reciprocity
and more steam to Mexican and other
tropical ports, and we may compete with
England anywhere on our own CONT
nent.

the impeachment Of the Governor. If the
heavens pour out their rains in the South
western valleys and send the rivers boom
ing over the banks, carrying destruction
to plantations on the low lands, Governor
Kellogg is to blame for it and he ought to
be impeached. But it is not SO easy to
impeach the Governor of the State as to
wish it done, and the difficulties in the
present case are really insurmountable.
As for the Police Board, we shall be
glad to see such changes made in the law
as will render the things complained of in
the report impossible, without reference to
the question whether Messrs. Dupre and
Hammond have arrived at correct conclu-
sions on the evidence presented or not

LOW PRICE OF COTTON LANDS.

| The decline in the value of land,
caused, in great part, by the surplus Of
uncultivated lands, has been, for political
effect, attributed entirely to political
causes. It would be a sufficient reply to
say that in such cities as New York, where
the ad valorem tax on real estate is about
the same with our Own, the property still
maintains, if not its former value, a price
which justi6es the payment of these
taxes rather than an abandonment of the
lands.
Senator Alcorn recently said in debate
that the Legislature of Mississippi had in
effect said to the land owners, pay your
taxes for 1874 in full of all past taxes, and
yet not two per cent Of the tax in full was
offered. He added, things have got to
such pass that the people of Mississippi
have forfeited 1000, 900 acres of the rich
est alluvial, which produces bale of cot
ton to the acre.
The reason of this is apparent to our
mind. Men do not care to pay q land tax,
because they know that to be the ''owner
of land is to have an incumbrance on your
shoulders" We have no scold for the
landholders of Mississippi, but the sup
posed intolerance which excludes white
men from coming into the State, the terror
which has driven so many colored laborers
from the State, have tended to destroy the
demand for these valuable lands. We
have suffered from the same cause in our
State; nor can Louisiana or Mississippi
sfford to pay land taxes until steady
stream of labor shall set in for the perma-
nent occupation of the most valuable
lands in the world. In the meantime,
immigration, avoiding these States, tends
to more quiet state of security elsewhere.
The competing States of the West warn
the European and Eastern immigrant
from the Mississippi States by e1agger-
ated statements of their own attractions,
and misstatements of the social, industrial
and climatic disadvantages of ours.

ADMoN1TIoE TO THE 1NT0LERANT.

Senator Bayard, in commenting upon
the character of the late Senator Ferry,
of Connecticut, expressed his admiration
of the sense of honest conviction, un-
colored and undimmed by petty. partisan
or unjust considerations. The Demo-
cratic reader will be astonished to learn
that this is said Of a Republican. Senator
Bayard uttered also this grand truth:
The real strength and safety of this gov
eminent lies in the absolute freedom with
which opinions may be formed and ex-
pressed, and to the independent and cour
ageous uttersnces of It's able and virtuous
men the people may best look for guild
ance.
He also adds in regard to the deceased
statesmen that he had borne as soldier
"a brave, conscientious and distinguished
part His censure of what he deemed
corrupt, dishonest and cowardly was I'M
hesitating and unsparing, and be never
presented the garb of party to shelter
guilty man from his just denunciatior.
It is in such sense that political op-
ponents should differ, and so should they
speak of each other. The representative
of different system of federal admins
tration truly and justly says of the de-
ceased dissentient from his opinions:
Thus, believe he was fit to rule men,
and to execute the great trust of political
power.
- hat ,f foN
Bayard, living or dead.
We do not deem the principles upon
which he would administer the govern
ment compatible with the will of the
American people, as expressed in the
amendments to the federal constitution,
but we would, if we were called to power,
confde that he was eft to rule men and
to execute honestly the great trust Of
political power"
Mr.. Ferry was thus characterized by
another Senator:
He had the courage to be true to his con-
vctiOns every where; no uDpopularity of a
cause would prevent his warmly espousing
it. The poor, the oppressed, the unhappy
multitude whose lives had been darkened
by want, had here q friend whose heart
beat in human sympathy. His love of
right, OF justice, of what Anglo-Saxons call
"fsir play" amounted to q passion.
1t is such patriots as Bayard and Ferry,
who love republican form Of govern
ment, to whom should be intrusted the
standards of opposing opinion. Those
who hate the form of government and put
no faith in political integrity threaten the
permanency of the republic.

SENATOR PINCHBACK's LETTER.

In another column appears Senator
Pinchback's letter to the New York Herald,
which was called forth by the ungenerous
and unmanly attack by Mr.. Merrimon, of
North Carolina, on the Senator elect of
Louisiana. Mr.. Pinchback's letter is
dignifed, but to the point. There is no
reason why he should hold his peace
when his good name is so foully assailed,
and it looks as if the North Carolina gen.
tleman had got the worst of the contro-
verSy
