The four and one-half parish tax de-
cision OF our Supreme Court has been
one of the chief subjects OF discussion
In the country parishes since IL was rem
dered. To the people OF the country Ii
Is a matter OF as great Importance as
the presidentiala and electoral squabble
since, while the general government
depends on the one, the parish govern
ments depend, in great measure, on
the other.
The general opinion Of the country
press is that very few parish gov.
ernments will be able to exist on
such a tax; it will scarcely pay
the criminal expenses Of the par
ishes and would have the effect
OF turning loose all the criminals on
the country. In such a condition of af-
fairs these papers suggest the necessity
or some action being taken to supply
this deficiency.

fate that awaited those on our side OF

Ne call the especial attention of our
readers to the clear, forcible and philo-
sophica. analysis of the present political
crisis presented to us by our esteemed
fellow-citizen, Mr., John b. L.afitte. In q
letter which we publish this morning.
Mr.. Lafitte discusses the presidential
imbroglio from the standpoint of non
partisan and impartial merchant. and
it Is gratifying to us to find that, moved
by no other consideration than a. sim
oere love Of country and an earnest
desire for the welfare of this commu-
nifty, he expresses in this remarkable
letter the same views, and arrives at
the same conclusion. which we have
heretofore endeavored TO impress upon
our readers, namely, the absolute me-
csssity that re should manifest to the
country our firm resolve to stand by
and maintain cur rights. II We would
enjoy the blessings Of freedom and the
estab shment Of the government of
our choice.

The mortality lists Of last week show
deaths. whites 70, negroes 81. BY the TIVE
latest censuses 1t has been shown that
the whites in New Orleans outnumber
the negroes three to one; when there
fore larger number Of negroes die than
whites, 1t becomes indeed q serious
matter and one worthy of investigation.
The ratio OF negro mortality has been
steadily increasing In this city for years
past, but this Is the acme, 1t now being
four times as it Is among the whites.
The deaths last week for the white
citizens Is below the weekly average !;
with the negroes 1t Is at least twice as
great as 1t ordinarily 10 and four times
as great as 1t ought to be.

When we read Of propositions to
bring water from the Tangipahoa River
to New Orleans, with the Mississippi
just before us, ready for use, 1t sounds
strange; but 1t sounds even stranger IL
we take up some old book on Louisiana,
published q century ago, and read the
praises then bestowed upon the waters
OF our own Mississippi, at which we are
now turning up Our noses.
In those early colonial days the
water Of the Mississippi was regarded
as medicinal, and prescribed partieu-
larry In cases of baroness. Women,
THUS affected. frequently came to
Louisiana to drink It's waters,
just as our people now go TO
the springs of Virginia while others
who could not afford this, had the water
sent them to drink. The early doctors
analysed the water and found that 1t
contained small amount of sulphur
and nitre from the Missouri and salt
from the Red River, and was, In fact. q
very mild and palatable form OF sulphur
water.
There were few books of that day that
do not contain enoomiums ON the Mis-
sissippi water, and aseribe every case of
twins In New Orleans to its virtues and
yet, In our old age, we are unable to
drink 1t because 1t Is not clear
enough, and propose to bring a river,

The present year has been singularly

For the benefit OF the future popula-
ton Of this country, we must recall
suit lately brought by Booth against
the manager Of o New York dance
house who called his establishment in
honor Of the great actor, Booths New

the responsibility, enjoined the name,
brought suit for damages, and was
successful. We suggest to Messrs.
Tilden and Hayes to follow the exam

court In the country will give them
relief and Immediately release from the
responsibility these unknown godsons
would otherwise infallibly bring on
them.
