Are additional burdens to be imposed
on our already over-taxcd city? We un-
derstand that the bill to tax the real es-
tate for the benefit of the New Orleans
and Pacific Railway Company will bc
taken up In the Senate on Monday next.
We have heretofore expressed our disap-
probation OF the act: IL Is one In which
all property holders arc deeply interest
cd. and wc do hope that II will be defeat
cd Taxation IL n power vested In gov
crnment for public objects. TO dofray the
costs of Judgment. and II extends no
further. Tho power does not constitu-
tionally rest In the Legislature to tax
the people for private enterprises. on
the plea OF public advantage. Even an
election would not validate the tax. This
question has been ably treated by a
distinguished author on constitutional
restrictions. and In one Of his ablest de-
cisions, he demonstrates the unconsti-
tutionality Of such u law. Were the law
constitutional. II would still loo i'm
polite. The greatest sufferer would be
not the rich man. the large property
holder, but the poor artizan, the widow
and the orphan. those who have their
all invested IN the humble roof which
shelters them. and who cannot even
now meet the existing crushing tax.

The scene ut tho capital yesterday was
a strange and striking one. Kellogg In
his private Office. surrounded by bands
of metropolitan hirclings, to pay whose
wages the very hearts blood Of tho peo-
pie has been taxed, was trembling and
oringing at the very thought Of justice.
In tho House. the representatives OF
tho State stood forth to impeach him
for high crimes and misdemeanors,
while Mathews, who has crept
out Of the cutters of the North
into tho Legislature of Louisiana /,
the mulatto Stewart, with his
tales Of blood and murder, and the me-
gro Ray, a fugitive from tho wrath of the
people he misreprescnts, backed by
their allies, sought to curb the course OF
Justice and shield their cowardly, infa.
nous and trembling chief, whose hand
has SO sorely smitten this land. When
this scene reopens Monday morning

New Orleans willing that the whole
country shall behold them marshaled

ton will be made to the scene.

Impeachment.

Yesterday, after the Radicals had
consumed many hours in iilibustering
acting under the directions Of
Kellogg and Packard. the committee
OF seven appointed by the Speaker tc
investigate the charges against w. Pitt
Kellogg, made their report, which will
be found In another column. The arti.
cles Of impeachment reported, we arc
informed, will be fully substantiated
before tho Senate. Under the rules. the
report lays over until Monday. when II
will be taken up and adopted by a large
majority.
The Democrats and Conservatives
have acted with wisdom, boldness and
decision, and the greet mass Of the
people Of tho State will sustain them.
The movement 50 well inaugurated
must now be ably, vigilantly, and reso-
lutely prosecuted to the end. The State
criminal will bring every influence TO
bear to dcmoralize the movement. His
emissaries will be found, like tho insidi-
GUS toad in the ear Of Evo In the Garden
of Eden, whispering to every member Of
the House. Bribery will he resorted
to. Intimidation will be tried.
Promises will be made. But let our
representatives remember that Hev are

The Bee thinks that we are about

the bad faith exhibited by the Radicals
IN regard to the Wheeler compromise.

ment against Kellogg will report to-day.

Mathews, or Tensas, said yesterday,
that tho House ought not TO impeach
Kellogg, because only one OF the Journals
of tho city. and that the DEMOCRAT. "thc
organ OF the Bourbon Democracy. even
commented on the action Of tho House
of the preceding day. Mr.. Mathews Is
u very silly fellow. The fact referred to
does not prove that Kellogg should not
he impeachcd, but Tint the DEMOCRAT
Is the only Journal in the city In full
accord with the Democratic and Conscr-
yative majority In the House.

All Rirllt.

Since the editorial article, headed
'"rhe Merchants and Capitalists Of New
Orleans" has been In print, we have re-
ccived copy OF tho memorial referred
to In that article. and are gratiiied u
find only half dozen names ap.
pended to it. Had 1t been true that the
capitalists and merchants OF this city Us
general thing, were using their influ.
ence TO prevent the impeachment OF
Kellogg, the effect In the country would
have been extremely demoralizing.
Our fellow-citizens In tho country
know that the State can only be
rescued from Radicalism by the tre-
mendous Democratic and Conservative
vote OF New Orleans. The city has been
In oil our campaigns the hope and in
spiration Of the balance OF the State.
II. then, 1t had gone forth that the mer-
chants and capitalists Of the city had
"given up" that they were willing to
make terms with or submit to the evils
OF usurpation and misgoyernment, the
last hope Of the people would have van
ished and the migration toward Texas
would have soon set In. We did not
believe the story possible, and
yet it created such a sensation
that We began to fear there
was something in it. 1t turns out, how
ever, to be a most Insignificant affair; a
ridiculous fizzle scarcely worth the ink
and time we have devoted to it. Mon
day the House will pass the articles OF
impeachment, and it will be sustained
by four hundred thousand citizens, in
GLIDING the merchants and capitalists OF
New Orleans. Affect submission to
kelloggism has not yet become common
or popular in New Orleans. The House
has not in this matter acted in parti-
san spirit. 1t has proceeded within the
law. II Kellogg is proved guilty of the
crimes he is accused of let him submit
to the penalties for his offences. The
interests OF the Democratic and Con-
sentative party are not to be subseryed
In this transaction. The cause OF ius.
tice and the interests of the State re-
HHire the action which will be taken.

then, that at this time, when Senators
Blackburn, Green, Alexander, and other
prominent Republicans are abandoning
their party because of its inherent
viciousness, and because they have dis
covered that it does not intend to give
Louisiana peace and prosperity, the
