TAX PAYING,

No one can appreciate the full force OF
the evidence of the sacrifices and cheer
fulness with which our tax payers have
come forward to square up the tax de-
linquencies. furnished by the unusually
short list Of delinquents published in
the DEMOCRAT of last Saturday. unless
he knows the hard straits of property
owners to raise money and the great
scarcity of that commodity. There are
no longer any organized tax resisters In
our city. There are those who complain
of too large assessment, but the present
law supplies ample legal and equit-
able relief against any injustice in
assessing. They have the right of ap-
peal from one ass cor to three arbitra-
tors. and from their decision to the
courts. These processes render 1t i'm
possible that they can suffer any griev-
Gus wrong by the final adjudication.
When their property Is properly
assessed they have no longer the plea,
which has hitherto increased so largely
the tax delinquency, that their contri-
buttons will be plundered and misap-
piled by dishonest officials; that they
will Igo to the support of corrupt
usurpation Of an alien government, held
In power by the bayonets Of the Federal
government. It Is the government of
their choice, which has their conf
dence; which has given the strongest
proof that 1t will administer the States
revenues for the greatest good Of the
greatest number, to the maintenance Of
the credit of the State, and on princi-
pies of judicious economy and rigid
responsibility. It would be a great re-
Election upon the patriotism and fidelity
of our people II they should be unwill-
ing to make the greatest sacrifice to
place this government Of their choice,
and to which they owe SO much of the
Improvement of our affairs and the in
creased hopefulness Of our people in
the possession Of the revenues, which
are essential to the full restoration Of
an efficient administration of the laws
and the vindication Of the honor and
good name OF our State.

which the logs will be sent to the mills
to be sawed into exportable lumber,
and held by the deputies Of the United
States Marshal until the final decision
Of the respective claims. thus consuming
the same In costs and reducing the value
of the timber; that there is strong
ring of mill men and spectators who
are directing this plan, and who have
manifested powerful influence at
Washington by obtaining orders for the
release of logs claimed by them, and
who expect to run that influence to their
own great profit and to the great dam
age and injury of the logmen and the
proprietors Of the logs.
II these charges can be sustained by
satisfactory proofs, this affair assumes
q grave character which demands a
very thorough investigation, and will
impose upon Judge Billings very seri-
GUS duty to investigate the same and
afford the proper remedies. The time
has gone by in this State when any Of
their old Radical plots Of iobbery and
oppression OF the people by combina-
tons Of officials and spectators can
be put in successful operation.

THE uALOAsIEU TROUBLE.

Gen. l.. Sewell, the umpire appointed
by Judge Billings to proceed to Calca-
sieu and assist In the appraisement Of
the logs seized by the United States as
having been cut from public lands in
that parish, has returned to the city and
is very free and emphatic in his protests
and exposures Of the wrong and hard
ships of the logmen and Of the delays
aud obstacles thrown In the way of an
early judicial determination Of their
rights. Gen. Sewell claims that he was
sent there by appointment Of Judge Bill
lings; that on his arrival in Calcasieu
he investigated the whole subject and
discovered that the logmen were a much
abused class, who cheerfully yielded
to all the orders and processes of the
court, and who only asked that their
claims should be passed on by the judi
cial authority, who were loyal in the
highest sense Of free people, and only
oppose and resist the irregular inter-
ferences of jobbers and designing Off
Gals who seek to employ the au-
thority and power Of the government
to protect and further the schemes Of
rings and spectators.
It is by the schemes and arts OF these
Intermediates that the government has
been involved in costs Of $500, 900 to pro-
tect claim to property which does not
exceed in value $50, 900; that it has sent
more than hundred United States SOL
diers into this remote part Of the State,
under false pretense, and subjected
the officers and soldiers Of our army to
the degradation Of being used as a posse
comitatus to deputy marshal who had
no need of such aid, to execute any writ
he might have, and who did employ the
same to enable him to execute process
which the United States commissioner
decided he had not the power to execute
and did not proceed to execute in legal
manner.
So much for Gen. Sewell's representa-
ton of the condition Of affairs in Cal
casieu. Gen. Sewell is a Republican,
who was held in high regard by the
Kellogg administration, was one of the
brigadiers Of his militia, and Is well
known to this community as a man OF
pluck and force and great intelligence
Gen. Sewell's opinion Of the logmer
of Calcasieu is that they are an amiable
honest, brave and determined class, anC
that they will submit to any decision oil
the United States Courts on their rights,
but will never suffer them selves to be
overrun. impoverished and driven from
their homes by combinations of specu-
lators and government officials.
1t is charged by them that such 6
combination exists, and that the United
States Marshal is to further a plan BY

Gen. Clusters remains have been re-
moved from Fort Lincoln, and are now
temporarily inferred at Poughkeepsie
until the time arrives for them to be
placed In their last resting place at
West Point, where the government will
no doubt place above them an appro-
pirate monument to perpetuate in en-
during stone the record Of his patriotic
services aud splendid feats Of arms, as
we'll as the sad and shameful story Of
his death.
There Is something singularlv appro-
pirate in this idea. No better model Of
the highest type of martial character
could be selected from all American his
tory than this splendid beau sabrer as
q perpetual example and ideal to arouse
the emulation OF the young soldiers OF
the republic. 1t will also serve to
admonish them never to incur the envy
and ill-will of their superiors. II they
discover that the officers above them
are incapable, let them not seek to
make this manifest, but go on and make
successes out Of their plumbers, IL they
would not be sent to certain death,
never to be avenged. In all American
history there Is not a more luminous
page than that in which is recorded the
Sioux war, the death Of Custer, and the
escape Of Sitting Bull from the ven-
geance that his massacre demanded.
1t will serve to inspire the young cadet
and keep his martial ardor at fever heat,
to read the story Of this gallant soldier
day by day. 1t will impress upon him
that it is
His not to reason why,
His but to do and die,
and that this duty is imperative. wheth'
er it be stupid blunder or cruel malice
on the part Of the superior who sends
him to assured destruction.

THE CIVIL SUPERIOR TO MILITARY
POLICE. =

A well organized civil force to sup.
press disorder and enforce the laws,
will never, we hope, in this State.
involve the employment Of the dis.
ciplined military and the use of those
destructive implements Of modern war
fare which have been invoked so freely
by the Executives of the Northern
States In their recent disturbances. 1t
has been shown In this country. and In
England, and In fact was shown In the
recent tumults In the Northern cities,
that an efficient police, armed with
clubs, and kept we'll In hand by brave
and trusty officers, Is the most efficient
to suppress all disturbers OF law and
order. Il Is only when such police or
CARNATIONS are converted into armed
bands Of Janissaries, and constituted as
military bodies to support and defend
usurpers and enslave the people. that
the latter are compelled to employ like
| military methods to resist and overcome
| them.
This was the situation in September,
1874. when the thoroughly organized
Janissaries of Kellogg, arrayed with
all the order and method of military
art and provided with all its appliances.
were beaten and driven in wild terror to
their various hiding places, strewing
the streets with their killed and
woanded and their abandoned arms.
The metropolitan Brigade was COM
posed of cavalry, artillery and infantry,
with a battery of Napoleons and Cat
ling guns, commanded by some Of the
most experienced and gallant officers
OF both armies in our great civil war /;
equipped and uniformed, and moving
with the precision Of regulars. This
array Of military force to defend the
usurpation of Kellogg was far stronger
one than any which was thrown against
the rioters in any of the Northern towns.
And yet 1t was met by an inferior force,
mere advance battalion Of civilians,
organized, 1t Is true, in military form,
and with leaders who had smelt gun
powder, was met in the open field, on
streets swept by a Calling and Napo-
Icons, and after most destructive fusi-
lade was put to flight and annihilated
as O military organization. This was
the feat Of civilians, Of honest and brave
citizens, called from eounting-rooms,
from workshops and from all the various
civil avocations of life, who were impell-
ed by that which always gives greater
power and force to body Of men than
all the ingenious appliances of military
art. and the most effective implements
for the destruction of life. That impulse
was the pride. the patriotism offreemen
and republicans fighting the tools and
serfs of tyranny.
It was this sentiment which prompted
the Roman in the great days of the re-
public to shorten his sword when GO
ing forth to battle, that he might be
brought closer to his enemy. And it
must be on this sentiment rather than
upon trained bands, mercenary soldiers
and approved arms, we must In this re-
public rely for the defense Of our liber-
ties and the enforcement of peace, law
and order.
