A SUGGESTION.

New Orleans can boast Of more dogs than
any city OF the Union. The canine popula-
ton IL set down, at the lowest estimate, at
100000.
Suppose that the city government should
exact o tax Of ST. per year on every dog in
town, it would yield the snug little sum OF
$1,000 annual revenue. Furthermore, the
tax would force owners Of such animals to
take more care Of them, and not let them
roam at large to the detriment OF unlucky
wayfarers in unfrequented neighborhoods.
A gentleman remarked that no could not
indulge in quiet stroll in the vicinity Of
Broad and Canal streets without being chased
by every over grown cur In that section. II
the tax on dogs Is raised oil worthless ours
will be killed in order that they may not be @
source OF useless expenditure on the part Of
their owners.

ALTEZAN CONVICTED.
Justice That Had for six Years Been De-
teated ut Last satisfied.

On the second day Of November, 1877, in
this city, Detectives McDonogl1 and Pecora
and Officer Fields arrested Jules Altezan and
locked him up in the Central Station, on the
charge of having, in the city of Baton Rouge,
in the month of March, 1871, murdered u man
named Emile Garrique.
The accused was captured ut his domicile,
II Galvez street When he was taken prisoner
he had been fugitive from justice for over
six years.
AS soon as the Chief of Police Of Baton
Rouge was made aware of Aitezan's capture
o detective was dispatched for him and he
was taken to the scene Of his crime. After
remaining in prison in that city ny, to a few
days ago, he was put on trial for his life. The
Jury, after remaining out for several hours,
brought 10 a verdict q inanslaughter.
Altezan Is said to have been as danger Gus
o man as ever put foot in shoe leather. lie
was said to have killed Garrique owing tc
the criminal intimacy he had with his wife,
but he was living with that wife when he was
arrested in this city.

[ChicagO Interior. ]

The pressure OF hard times does not relax.
On the contrary, it is becoming severer
throughout the land. The West is expert
encing it now in it's keenest forms. The mud
blockade" becomes more complete with now
no hope for relief for it till the vernal sun
shall have mad time to do his macademlzing.
Meantime, the long standstill of business is
telling on firms in town and cities heretofore
considered secure. The dreary list of failures
Iengthens. In Chicago the situation is we'll
nigh appalling. There is no money to carry on
the city government, and apparently no way to
getany money The prospect of having the
Schools closed is freely discussed That the
citizens may have to provide their own police
is at least a possibility. These facts indicate
the condition Of affairs which the people have
to consider. II the financial stress Is greater
in this city than throughout the country by
reason of the frauds and plumbers and mis-
takes of public officers, it still serves to illus
trate the fact that we have not struck bottom
yet, and that the greatest problem before the
people is how to get upon substantial basis
Of prosperity.
We are clear the way to it IS not through
legislation. 1t is by the old, slow, unpopular
and unexciting path Of severely honest and
economical living. The chairman OF a poll
