to lay the responsibility upon tho Sem

laws, but the taxpayers, he Thought,
would prefer tho present bill, even with
listing law. He, therefore, favored the
adoption OF these amendments.
Mr.. Lyons objected further To tho
amendment increasing the compsnsa-
OF the tax collector OF the Fourth Dis

II would give him SALARY equal to
$500 year, should he collect oil the

Resolutions of support tn GOV. Nieh0Iis.
In obedience to posted notices, q
large number Of the taxpaying citizens
Of Carroll parish assembled In the town
OF Providence, on Saturday, the 5tst day
OF March, 1877, for the purpose Of pre-
pairing for mass meeting of the tax
payers oil the parish, the object being
to express their views In regard to the
present political condition OF this State,
irrespective Of political parties, but In
support Of Gov. Francis I. Nichols.
AT p. IN. they repaired to the court
house, and finding the door OF the COURT
room locked, and the sheriff absent with
the key. they met In the hall OF the
Gen. lid. Sparrow was called to the
chair, and A. w. Roberts was elected
secretary.
The chairman opened the meeting In
the crowded hall with q beautiful and
eloquent address, full OF pathos and
fervency, and was often Interrupted by
enthusiastic applause, especially in
those portions OF his speech wherein he
declared the unalterable purpose OF the
taxpayers Of Carroll to be to maintain
Coy. Nichols and his appointees,
and to pay their taxes to none other
than his tax collector,
After the chairman had explained the
objects Of the meeting, DR.. j. j.. Davis
offered the following preamble and
resolutions. which, after being seconded
by ID. l.. Morgan. T.. f. Montgomery
and others, were unanimously adopted :
Whereas. the present meeting is only
preliminary to II general mass meeting
of the citizens of the parish, and In
view of the fact that the call for the
meeting had not been sufficiently circu-
lated throughout the parish, by reason
OF the want OF u newspaper In the par
ish representing the interests OF the tax.

court room by locking the door and
taking away the key; therefore be 1t
| Res0loed, That a regular meeting oil
the taxpayers and citizens generally be
called to meet In the Firemen's Hall, in
| this town, on Saturday, the 7th day o1
April, 1877, at IL M, for the purpose oi
giving expression to their views on the
| political situation OF Louisiana, and

Resolued, further, That 10 this pre-.
| liminary meeting we declare our pur-
pose to maintain and uphold the only
true and legal government OF Louisiana,
that presided over by Gov. Francis T.
Nichols.
That the Vicksburg Herald and New
| Orleans DEMOCRAT De requested to pub
lish these proceedings.
Mr.. b. Fl. Lanier then rose to a per-
sonal explanation, and declared that,
while he was a Republican, opposed to
Gov. Nichols, he denounced such ac-
ton as that OF shutting the citizens out
Of places Of public resort. He pro-
posed to break open the door, but was
made to know that the meeting was
composed OF orderly, law-abiding peo-
pie, who would not break locks so long
as 1t could be avoided.
On motion the meeting adjourned to
Saturday, April z. at - o'clock.

WISER THAN HAYES.
Four Men who Know More Than mr.
Hayes Seems to Know.

From the Charleston News and Courier.i
There are four persons in South Caro-
lima who know who is Governor. They
are Tilda Norris, AMI Rosborough,
David Gordon, aud one OF the Hauss-
mann murderers. The first three have
been pardoned by Gov. Hampton, and
released from jail. They are now at
liberty. The other was sentenced to be
hanged, and was reprieved.. His COM
panions, who were not reprieved, were
executed. These are concrete facts.
Gov. Hampton can release from jail,
and save from the galloWs. On the
other hand, there is not a county In the
State, that we know Of, where warrant
issued by an appointee 81 chamberlain
who would pay any regard to his So
called pardons. ALI the power and
strength and authority are on one side,
and that is the side OF Hampton.

the Southern Democrats, and before
the Northern managers OF the party
can have an opportunity to reassert the
old caucus influence that has hitherto
controlled Southern Democrats.
1t is the intention OF the President to
have the Louisiana case settled just
prior to the convening OF Congress, FOR
obvious reasons.
The Republicans, or rather Admins

most confidence that they are assured
OF from 2s to 80 Democratic votes from
