Our quiet town was shocked last Thurs
day morning by the entrance Of band OF
armed men, who seized Lazarus Levy,
merchant of this place, and carried him
away. It Wa coon asceftalned that 1t was
one Of those shameful outrages OF the vigi-
liant committees, which h proving more in
furious to the country than cotton worms or
ep:demics, or even Radica! rule
being tried for sOme ofkense about watch,
the sheriff made his appearance with .
writ of habeas corpus. and meeting NO
resistance, brought the body of Levy before
the parish Judge. An affidavit having been
made sgainst him for breach Of trust, he
furnished bond to appear and answer the
charge.
The vigilants, in under taking to right q
minor wrong themselves, gravely violated
the law by committing the crimes of as
sault and battery, kidnapping and false inn
If the affidavit had been made at first, it
would have sverted . very humiliating
spectacle and the necessity Of the vigilants
yirtuslIy acknowledging their wrong by
surrendering their prisoner to tho sheriff.

fact, 1T least that the authorities have been

delinquent taxes collected 10 necessary, in

legged to be irjuriously affected by such &C.
You will please notice that these exten-

order remitting penalties ON delinquent

remitted to make . thorough examination
of the books and accounts of the tax col

thereof; the necesslty for this will be ap-

deemed it proper to follow this precedent.
But the fact that the examiner of this Office

what q Denecrafic 1diter Knows About
the Army.

what q Denecratic Editer Ksows Absus
the ARny.
The Houston Telegraph 10 very much ex.
ercised because President Grant has pro-
NOTED Major Elmer Ohs, Of the First Cav
airy, to the vacant lieutenant colonelcy Of
the Seventh Cavalry, caused by tho desth
of Custer. The Telegraph insists that Asjor
Reno, of the Seventh, should have succeed
ed to the vacancy. and says:
Major Reno, who IL 30 upjustly neglected
in the above appointment, secured the
Presidents enmity by rejecting ON the
policy of the Indian bureau in furnishing
the savages with the means of slaughterinG
the whites; and Of course his criticism Of
Grants private financial schemes could not
be overlooked by that friend of the Indian
ring and promoter Of its jobberies.
What truth there is in the charges the
Telegraph makes against Major Reno, it ID
impossible to say; but had he been the
senior major in the cavalry arm Of the scr.
vice nothing could have prevented his pro
motion. The fact 10 that Major Obs held
that position, while Major Reno stands
nineteenth on the list, and the Preside MT
was required by law to give the senior
officer the commission. Only few weeks
ago the Democratic papers of the country
were filed with falsehoods concerning the
promotion of Lieutenant Fred Grant. 1t
will occur to the average reader of news
papers that editors who do not understand
the laws of their country had better not try
to explain them.

The issues, both national and local,

Almost every prominent Republican has
expressed desire that the canvass and
election shall be peaceable and fair, and
many Democrats have publicly approved
of the declaration of General Nichols. A
better way to secure these objects than the
proposition of Mr.. Packard. can hardly be
suggested. 1t is certain the people by this
means would hear both sides and judge be.

General Nichols will give Mr.. Packard's

MIR. eheltx, Expla.atisn.

We publish in another column the expla-
nation Of Mr.. Sholtz. acting Auditor, ana
presume it Is the best he has to ofier why
he has req uested certain tax COLLECTORS 70
take sixty days to make their settlements.
Without being conscious Of prejudice. We
confess a sort of inability to see the full
force of this sort Of reasoning. The sb-
sence of the examiners from the city ought
not to make any difference SO far ~ the
city collectors are concerned. The Auditor
himself or his chief clerk is or ought to be
competent to examine accounts, and let the
examiner 20 into the country parishes.
The Auditor is made by law the very
best authority in all cases where
accounts between the State and individuals
are concerned, and where his personal su-
pervision is practicable it is cf course bet
ter than that of subordinate. The law
provides for settlements to be made month
ly in the city and quarterly in the country,
and presumes the clerical force IN the
Auditors office is ample to do the work.
Mr.. Sholtz does not complain that he and
Ql6 Cl0Ek0 010 Ot0S ~ A0Os AAOy ssVko0A
only to be waiting for the examiners to
come in from the country to do it for them.
We do not credit the Auditors Office with
the explanation given by the Picaymnc that
one reason why settlements arc not hurried
up is because q number Of dealers in war
rants are eagerly waiting to ''pounce down
upon the States money" And yet there
are evidences that the reporter had been in
consultation with the Auditor's representa-.
tive, - he gave At the same time the iden-
tical reasons for delay which are now
urged.
We shall be very glad to hear that no
unnecessary delay will be permitted in the
future, as the success of the Republican
party At next election is to . great extent
dependent upon the successfnl administrs
ton of the laws and the preservation oi
the credit of tho State.
