per cent per annum on the cost Of first
class steamboat. When we remember
that the railroads are subject to no such
rate Of taxation, it is evidently an I'M
equal discrimination against the river
commerce.
The same competition which has in
duced St. Louis and Cincinnati to reduce
or repeal the wharfage tax on river boats
may compel New Orleans to do the same
thing. The Common Council should,
therefore, regain and retain the control
of the wharves. 1t might become i'm
portant to make them free es to the
through trade. The Common Council
should not trammel this power by any
private contract. We know very we'll the
cost of our wharves is greater than those
of the up-river cities. In those cities the
wharf is but the street paved to low
water. It is as much easement for the
vehicles as for the boats. 1t costs little,
and must be built any way for the current
convenience of the city. The wharves OF
New Orleans, on the other hand, are very
costly and very perishable. We once
called the attention of an administrator to
the fact that our wharves have credit side
peculiar to this city. The river has made
large extent of ground which has been
sold at different times for an amount
greater perhaps than the first cost OF the
wharves. Though there is no direct con-
nection between the batture and the
whar YES, yet the former furnishes for
tuito US fund that tends to indemnify us
for the cost of the latter.
We are far from advising, however,
that the city should repeal the wharf tax
and make commerce free. At present, at
least it is unnecessary. 1t has always
seemed to us that the city administrators
are at present only called to reduce the
wharf tax to the rate stated in the begin
ming of this article. This rate the local
business which does not 60 beyond this city
or its commercial vicinage can pay. The
Council will see, however, that practically
there is very heavy transit tax on
through goods. Suppose tonnage tax OF
ten cents on the barge or boat, with twenty
cents on the ocean vessel. A bale of cot
ton or barrel of -four destined for ship
ment foreign will pay both these taxes.
A tax of thirty cents ton is equal to
about three cents barrel, or seven cents
a bale. We could not advise that the
wharfage tax should be repealed altogether
as to cotton, but We would suggest that q
drawback at least equal to the river ton
age should be granted on all -four, bulk
grain, OF other Western produce certified
for expectation.
Our wharves might therefore be kept in
order. commerce would pay no undue
share of taxes, the local trade would
mainta in and replace the wharves, and
our export trade in Western produce, re-
duced to insignificant proportions, might
profit by the superior economy Of our
port and water ways to the great markets
of the world.

The visit of the Baton Rouge sheriff was,
then, as illegal as the invocation of for
eign posse on the part of the sheriff or
constable of Feliciana.
We are indeed surprised that the legal
advisers Of the Baton Rouge officers and
followers had not informed them that
they were wrongdoers, invaders and tres
passers. Had those men gone under the
orders Of the State executive as part Of
the State militia, their services would
have been legal and comm endable. AS it
is they can be looked upon in no other
light than as an armed political club vol
unteering for party and campaign service.
We take the statement Of the Picayune
correspondent, and find evidence satisfac-
tory to our mind that the Democracy
have provided for carrying this campaign
as was done in Mississippi, by intimida-
ting the white and colored voters and
protecting the Democratic voters. Such,
at least, have been the demonstrations
from Colfax to Port Hudson. For this
the local organizations may employ any
excuse or none the Democratic press and
party will vindicate their acts, and coun-
teract the natural indignation of the
American people for such violation Of
the sectional truce, Of rights assured by
the constitution, and of humanity.
Our Republican friends may as well
understand that campaign conducted
on such a violent system could not be de-
ranged by the nomination Of couple
Of Republican archangels, if such beings
could be applicants for mortal suffrage.
The White Leaguers are determined to
carry the election in Louisiana by intimi-
dalton, obloquy and open force of arms,
and we can see but one way to defeat
their purpose. It will be by submitting
such a Republican ticket as will COM
mand the respect of the business and
Conservative interests of the State and
city. 1t will be by appealing to the Con-
sentative feeling here and invoking the
protection Of federal power. The total
disorganization of labor and peril of cap
ital which follows politico- military force
responsible alone to its party leaders, will
compel the Conservative interests to OPP
pose military campaign, and to unite
with the Republicans in demanding in
This civil war in disguise

and workshops Of the city.

Or. Henry Spry thinks the Hindoo girls
are we'll formed and graceful because they
carry weights on their heads. He says:
This exercise of carrying small vessels OF
water on the head might be advantageously
introduced into our boarding schools and
private families, and that it might entirely
supersede the present machinery of dumb
bells, back boards, skipping ropes, etc.
The young lady ought to be taught to carry
the jar, as these Hindoo women do, without
ever touching it with their hands," He
will be . remarkably spry man if he gets
tho girls Of England to tote the burdens Of
Life in that way.

of an officer is resisted he has the right
to call out posse from the vicinage and
within his official jurisdiction. He can
command these people because he has an
acknowledged authority within his official
district. Common law and common
sense, however, show that this power
can not extend beyond the local obliga-
tons of the officer. When resistance to law
extends beyond the ability of the officer
and his constituency to enforce it there be-
comes violation OF the public peace. 1t
is an instruction; it may be become re-
volt, it may rise to the dignity of a revolu-
ton. 1t is the affair of the sheriff or con-
stable while within the control of physi-
cal force to be commanded within the
official district of such municipal off,
GER; when it extends beyond, it becomes
an offense against the State, and demands
the authority and force of the State to
suppress.
We have the authority of this report
that "a general uprising against the
whites" was intended. 1t is said:
Our informant also learned that the
record of the proceedings of a Radical negro
club were captured, ana that in these pro-
ceedings there ,cds a resolution firing merit
Friday as the day for q general uprising
against the uhites.
This assertion, wholly unsupported,
would, if true, have at once taken the
matter from the sheriff of Baton Rouge,
who had no more authority, any way, in
the matter than any steamboat captain
who might have been at the Baton Rouge
landing, and placed the responsibility of
order upon the Governor Of the State.

The Chicago Tribune thinks an officers
wages were exempt from the income tai
during the war. There it is mistaken
Every commissioned officer, from a I'd
Lieutenant up, paid income tax on hi
wages, and had it deducted on the pay
roll. They were risking their lives daily,
yet paid the tax cheerfully, while Tilden,
who was keeping up fire in the rear,
swore to lie to get rid of paying his.
