The Republican speakers charge
that the Democratic party is an enc
my Of the country. Let us see: The
Republican party has had control of
the country since 1850. 1t has crea-
ted an oligarchy of ofice-holders. 1t
has given away to monopolies 274,QO0
square miles of public land. 1t has
over-taxed the people. 1t has neour
aged false registration to assist the
election of Republican candidates. 1t
has usurped civil authority. 1t has
by Encouragement in the south
placed a debt of $500, 100000 on the
Southern States since the wal closed.
1t has encouraged public plumber, and
has thrown the mantle of government
authority around thieves to protect
them from punishment. 1t has leg
islated for the bond holder. 1t has
protected the capitalist and disre-
garded the rights of the la6orer. 1t
has demonetized silver, it has Grip,
Epled the commercial interests of the
country. 1t has brought bankruptcy
to the door of mony honest men by
I its blundering tinkering with the
finances of the nation. These thing:
have the Republican party been gull
) ty of doing. The Democratic party
) has honestly, faithfully and persistent

floor where the Convention met that

it. There are the identical old chairs
in which the members sat, and there
stands the old high-backed Eliza
bethian chair in which JOHN HAN
COCK sat when he presided over the
Convention. There it sits behi1d
the quaint old mahogany table, just
as it did when he called the Conven-
ton to order, and when the instru-
n ent was signed; all the surround
ings of the room ure just as the Con-
ventioi left them, except that the
chairs and tables are rallied off with
an iron railing, and visitors are not
permitted to touch them. Independ-
ence square is. beautifully laid of
and embellished with trees and flow
ers. The sight of all these things,
together with the r~ecollections at
tending them, produced in my mind

THE CALLER COURT PROPERTY.
NEW ORLEANS, June 9Th, 1876


NEW ORLEANS, June 9th, 1876.
To the Editor of the Bulletin
Dear Sir-Not doubling your readiness to
give publicity to the correction of any erroneous
statement you may have happened to make in
your paper, take the liberty of calling your
attention to one IF that kind in your editorial
on Taxation and Church Property" which
was published the 25th inst.
The members of the Society of Jesus have
never, in any way, underworld to be exempted
from paying taxes on any of their property not
actually used for church or school purposes.
They have, on the contrary, paid without the
slightest delay or objection the taxes on the
property known az the CALLER Court, which
has been assessed at q very high figure.
The exemption they have always claimed,
and, as matter of course, obtained, Is in per-
feet conformity with that article of the Con-
stitution, the object of which is not only to
courage the erection of architectural mOnu-
ments, but also, and principally to promote the
interests of religion and education, and which,
therefore, exempts from taxation churches and
| school houses. Yours, very respectfully,
ANT. j. JOURDAN, 81.
The following card the Editor of the Bulletin
declined to publish. We insert it not in u spirit
of complaint against the BWIetin for its omis-
sion, but on account of the value of the facts
set forth in it:
NEW ORLEANS, June 18th, 1876.
| Editor Bulletin:
In YOUR editorial last Sunday on the exemp-
tion of Church Property from taxation, you
| say:
'We wish to attract attention to the property
| owned by the Ursnline Nuns, including four
teen stores on Magazine street, forty squares
in the Third District and o large tract of land
| in the Fifth, besides other valuable property
| to the Society of the Roman Catholic Church,
| with an even more valuable property, and the
Society of the Holy Cross, whose possessions
are even more extensive. This is the sort Of
property upon whose taxation We insist. 1t 10
not included within the exemptions the law
allows, and its freedom from the burdens Of
taxation is an injustice to every property
owner of the city"
The Ursuline Nuns, In q note received to-day,

empted, consists of their school, corner Ram.
part and Esplanade streets, and their convent
property (includipg q home for poor girls) in
| the lower portion of the Third District; (3)
that on all their other property they pay taxes,
in proof of which they are perfectly willing to
show sreceipted tax bills.
The forty squares alluded to are swamp lands
in the rear of the Convent. One-balf of these
are now and have slways been under water,
yet, for their drainage, the Mans have been pre-
scented with q bill of SIG, 600.
The valuable" property of the Society of
also situated way down in the Third District.
The only really valuable portion of the tract,
about fifteen acres, is used as o model farm for
the instruction and partial support of q large
10 mber of orphan boys,
With reference to the Society of the Roman
Catholic Church I.know nothing. but, on gen
eral principles and in view of the errors You
feel safe in saying that your statement about
their valua Bile property is incorrect.
Thanking you for your courtesy in publish
ing the cards heretofore sent you, and Particu-
larly for (shall say it y the series of blum.
ders You have made whereby o long needed
opportunity was afforded of show wing that the
financial ruin of our State and city must be
looked for in other causes than the exemption
from taxation of O comparatlvelytsmal amount
of property ($5. GOO 00o) devoted to the service
of God and the sustenance of several Thousand
orphans, remain, yours respectfully.

In justice to the Bulletin, We will edd that
it's Editor declined inserting this communioa-
ton in it's present shape because he did not
think that it stated the case quite fairly. He
claims that the Bulletin never asserted that
these properties were exempt from taxation.
