Acknowledgement in Ne,

The Attorney General in New
Orleans is fighting hard the Tax
Collectors, and bringing them to- the
pale of the law, and all because they
are not collecting half fast enough.
This may seem hard but then it is
fair according to law, and will be fol-
lowed up in the country Parishes.
The backward condition of the taxas
in our Parish are on the complaint
book, and H. T. Burgess must hurry
up things to keep all right with the
Auditors office. This is plain, and
taxpayers here must be prepared, and
prepared at once, to settle up. Three
quarters are nearly completed and
nine enths are candidates for the de-
Iinquent books. Mr.. Burgess has to
make big showing by his October
settlement and must be in funds by
the Goth of September, at the very
latest. Are our taxpayers willing to
see him suffer and be lawed for his
leniency to them? Thus far the ia
vors have been all on one side, and it
is high time they should commence
to be evenly balanced.

The Office Holders.

Some Of the Republican papers
charge, as crime against Governor
Tilden, that when he takes Office as
the Chief Magistrate of the United
States, he will commence his work of
reform by removing nearly every
office holder in the country. There
can be no doubt that such will be
the case, so far as regards the dis
honest and incapable; but where a
fitness for the duties of the office is
displayed, there is no reason to ap-
prehend wholesale removals on &C.
count of politics. The country is
determined to rid itself of every ves-
tige of Grantism, and the only man
ner in which this can be accomplish
ed, is to remove from office every
man who has been instrumental in
building up the detestable thing.
Grant is doomed; but with Cover
nor Hayes as President, and the pre-
sent horde of GRANTEES carrying on
their despicable work of plumber and
murder in the various departments
of the service, Grantism would live
and flourish, Indeed, the pupils of
the great master would, with plant
tool like Hayes in the Presidential
chair, have fuller scope than they
now have, for practically applying
the lessons they have learned. They
would carry the system even beyond
where the teacher would dare to 20.
Governor Tilden therefore resolves
that they shall be placed where they
can do no more harm. He will sur.
round himself with men who will re-
fleet credit upon the country which
they serve, and will zealously guard
and honorably discharge the trusts
eonfded to them. The public off.
GERS who will not be disturbed in the
enjoyment Of their places, are those
who have proved their qualifications
for the work required Of them, and
are willing to accept the will of the
people, in the ordering of those who
employ them. I'll

VOTING At PRIMARIES.

Next Saturday the Democratic
Conservative voters Of this Parish
will assemble at II o'clock at their
respective Precincts to vote for Del
egates to the Parish Convention
Some enquiry has been made about a
matter that is so clear, or ought to
be, as to make enquiry unnecessary?
Who will be entitled to vote for Del
egates? Clearly none but the Demo
cratic Conservative voters. Who are
they? All who voted our ticket at the
last election, and no other.
The call of the Executive Commit
tee for the "Selection Of Ward Dele
gates" designated the persons who
are entitled to vote, viz: 'thc Demo
cratic Conservative voters.' This
does not embrace those who intend
or expect to vote our ticket now for
the first time, and who have hereto
fore or at the last election, voted TO-
another ticket. In apportioning the
number of Delegates that each pre-
cinct is entitled to the vote for Mon
cure was adopted. If those who vo-
ted for Moncure's adversary are en-
titled to vote for Delegates to our
Parish Convention, it will only be
necessary for persons interested to
effect particular nomination to go
to the primary or precinct meeting
with several score of Radicals, and
they can send enemies into our camp
without much trouble.
The adoption of this test of party
fealty cannot be considered too rigid.
TO 60 back five or ten years might be
objected to, but to go back only so
far as the last time any one had an
opportunity to show what party he
belonged to is to adopt the most lib
eral policy.

can seem to serve to keep the war
