The spirit Of reconciliation has spread
even to tax collecting. A few short
months ago, and "tax collector was
the most opprobrious epithet Louis
ianian could hurl at his bitterest enc
my. For eight years the tax collectors
had been plundering the people, Selling
and selling out property, pocketing the
proceeds and leaving for other and
cooler elimes. But since the Nichols
Government has come in, all this 10
changed. The tax collectors appointed
by Gov. Nichols, forming, as they do,
an important part Of his government,
are regarded by the people of the par
ishes as his ambassadors, and, as such,
are welcomed with the highest honors,
and treated as public benefactors.
When DR.. Monahan, the tax collec-
tor of East Feliciana, arrived in Clin-
ton, in that parish, the other day, the
citizens of the place turned out to
welcome him, escorted him to his resi-
dence, and gathering at night around
his dwelling. serenaded him. Nor was
it only music and shouts with which
they welcomed him; for they marched
up by the hundreds next morning, just
as willingly, to pay their taxes to him
men who formerly had resisted taxa
ton with the utmost courage and firm
ness men who had preferred to be sold
out rather than to pay one cent to sus-
tain the vices of bastard government.
This Is indeed change-the begin
ming, we hope, of a new era of recon-
ciliation in the matter Of taxes-an era
when the people will show as much
readiness to pay them as the govern
ment to be lenient, when this payment
is difficult. The end OF Radical rule in
this State has removed all sting from
the title of tax collector: now, it Is
compliment instead of q curse.

The Democratic party possesses q
wonderful vitality. A few days ago,
under incompetent leadership, 1t was
beaten, horse, foot and dragons, and
was flying In disgrace from field 1t

changed. President Hayes, in his
efforts to inaugurate d policy of con-
ciliation, peace and justice, calculated
to harmonize and unite In union of
hearts all portions of the Republic, finds
himself forced to rely for support upon
the Democrats. and they are rallying
to his aid. That Republican Pres
ident, and one inaugurated by ille-
Ultimate means, turns In the first days
oil his administration to the Democrats
for aid In carrying out his measures Of
wisdom and patriotism. is the noblest
tribute to the Democracy that has ever
been paid to a political party. The Demo
cratic party is not conquered and ruined
yet. It has stopped retreating it Is dis
playing Its banners here and there; we
see the sunlight glaneing again on the
helmets of Its advancing leaders. II
they stand up to Hayes in this good
fight they will share the glory OF tie
victory. In the mean time let the
kickers beware the wounded lion Is lot

The killing of d. A. Weber. at Bayou
Sara, is undoubtedly unfortunate for
many reasons. Little can be said in
favor OF Weber. He has, in his paper,
the ledger, repeatedly broken out in
the widest denunciation of the people
among whom he resided, and made ap-
peals to the negroes alike inoendiary
and alarming. This he did to show
that he had no fear Of that popular re-
sentiment and ill.feeling he had done
30 much to arouse. To prove
ais prowess still more, he had
been defiant and boastful for some
weeks past, and more than once used
threats towards peaceful citizens,
and gone armed through the
streets seeking a quarrel. Notwith-

A great number of the country papers
In the region tributary to New Orleans
are engaged just now in abusing this
city and Its merchants In expressions by
no means pleasant, declaring that I'M
less an improvement be made in the
way commercial transactions are car
ried on here, they will be compelled,
whatever the cost, to transfer their
business to some other city.
The Winona Miss Free Press de-
clarest
The recent account of sales of cotton
of some OF our merchants from New
Orleans show discrepancy, on an aver
age, OF thirty-tive pounds to the bale,
10 compared to ear weights Here, Tits
is too much to lose, and there is some
thing wrong.
The Morehouse Clarion, of this State,
has the further charge to make against
some OF our merchants:
We learn that several merchants Of
the city OF New Orleans, having claims
against some of the best men of this
parish, have nominally transferred
those claims to non-residents OF the
State, and that suits have been filed
against these gentlemen In the United
States District Court at New Orleans.
II necessarily entails great expense on
these gentlemen to properly defend
such suits 80 far from home. The ex-
cuse given by the merchants for SO do
Ing is that the State courts are uncer-
tain and unreliable.
Both OF these complaints are some
what justified, If the facts given in them
be true. These are certainly worthy of
investigation. New Orleans cannot
afford to lose the good will Of the
country from any error OF fact or mis-
take of this kind. as both these charges
most probably are.

standing these facts the killing cannot
but be reprobated and regretted by
every person who has the honor or inter
ests of Louisiana at heart. It Is an I'M
doubted relic of the late government we
lived under, when murder and assassina-
ton went unpublished. Crimes like this
were developed by the condition OF
affairs that then existed, and will not
be banished and prevented until the
government Of Louisiana Is in the
hands Of it's truly elected officials.
Under their rule. we feel convinced,
none Of these occurrences will again
take place, or, IL they do, In the first
few months Of this new rule, prompt
punishment will vindicate the law, @nd
effectually put an end to these deeds
for the future. IL this government,
truly elected, had been recognized two
months ago, instead of being left In
its present anarchical condition. no
occurrence of this kind would have
marred our peace and harmony.
Gov. Nichols, Immediately upon
hearing the news, showed the manner
in which he meant to treat deeds OF this
kind by issuing proclamation offering
q reward OF Eve thousand dollars for
the capture OF the murderer, and had
such prompt measures taken that cap
ture Ia almost certain.

to create a public grievance
The stoppage OF the business
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for
thirty days will be disastrous TO every IN,
terest in the city, and the grievance OF
the fremen will not be allowed TO create
q grievance for every one else. That the
strike Is doomed 10 be q disastrous lall-
ure ought now to be evident to all VINO
have engaged il it. The very extent OF
it Is fatal to its success, and the sooner IL
is ended where it began the better 1t WI |
be for all concerned, but more especially
for the old and experienced employees OF
the road.
Such an extensive and formidable
strike us this cannot be settled by yield
ing to the strikers. 1t would establish
precedent that would blot capita out OF
existence by making it wholly subject %
labor. The companies would save money
in the end by letting their roads lie idle
for six months rather than yield 10 de-
mands, be them ever so just, whilst their
roads are thus forcibly shut up. After
their roads are again in running order
and fully mann ed they will be compel
ed by public sentiment to do justice to
their men before they declare eight or
ten per cent dividends. By returning
at once to their posts the strikers will Sc.
cure the good will ofthe community, and
there is good reason to believe that OF
the President, directors and stockholders
of the Company who will be disposed to
give to their grievances kindly and re-
spectful hearing, and remedy them as far
as lies in their power
