The letter IL "A Member Of the General
Assembly" which we print under the head
of Letters to the People like his first,
seems designed chiefly to show what the pres
ent Legislature did at It's last session, within
the constitution, TO effect the reforms we sug-
CRESTED the other day This Is very proper
indeed, it is N very great importance The
people should know exactly wbat their repre-
asyentatives have done that they may justly
Judge them. We did not expect a1 the meas
ares we suggested TO be carried out by ordi-
nary Legislation. We knew the constitutional
restrictions upon Che will of that body. Our
0bieet was to point out evils tobe corrected by
Legislation and by constitutional amendments.
We hope the Member of the General Assem-
bly, agill continue his vigorous and valuable
letters, and that "the people" will continue
their letters entire In reply TO him, or 10 each
other. or In new suggestions of reform. We
desire these columns be made medium Of
communication between the people and their
representatives for the real purpose Of discus
sioB and advancement of the public Interest,
and shall, therefore, exclude letters contain
ing offensive personalities, and such as are
not accompanied by the real name OF the

and appealed to that ratification as proof Of
the falsehoods OF the Republican press that
they were repudationists, and we believe now
that they will, as they arc In honor bound,
stand by what they have done.
The Property Holders Union have ignored
these facts: they have, we believe, acted
hastily. The course recently pursued by
Georgia and now being pursued by South
Carolina 10 no guide for Louisiana. Georgia
had a perfect right to repudiate her ss,00o,0oo
and South Carolina has perfect right to re-
pudiate every illegal bond that stands against
her. But Louisiana, Under different SYSTEM
ratified by her people, has already settled her
debt and thereby rid herself, II not Of all that
was against her, at least Of $l1 100000 OF IT..
Those who hold her bonds now hold them
under q contract made by her own citizens,
and the reputation Of any Of her funded
debt would be q tarnish upon her name
and gross outrage upon those who, trust
ing In her good faith, have invested their
money on her pledges. No greater calamity
could be inflicted upon the material interests
Of this State and city than an organized effort
to unsettle the State debt us It now stands.

SUPREME COURT.

In this court there was filed on Tuesday an
appication for writs of certiorari and prohi-
hilton In the matter entitled estate OK rel
Hubert Geale We. s. j. N. Smith, Judge of the
First Recorders Court, city OF New Orleans.
Relator alleges that on January II he was
arrested, under warrant from the First Re-
corder's Court, on the charge of violating the
prDyisions Of act No. 8 Of 1874, relative to the
unlicensed sale Of lottery tickets In this city,
and that he has been released on bonds TO
appear for trial on the 18th inst. lie ayers
that said act, ia no far as it confers upon the
recorders Jurisdiction over the offenses therein
named, vests those officers with judicial
powers and il, therefore, violative OF articles
10 and 81 of the constitution. The unconstitu-
tionality Of that act Is also urged on the
grounds that 1t denies the right Of trial by
jury for State offense and that 1t Is partial
and unequal in It's operation.
Relator, alleging that by the provisions of
said act no appeal will lie from the decision Of
Judge Smith, prays that writ OF certorari
issue to said Judge, commanding him to
send to this court a duly certified copy OF the
proceedings in the case of "the State Vs. HUI
bert Geale" now pending before him,
that their legality may be determined, and
that he be prohibited from proceeding
further with the case until the legality and
regularity Of said proceedings shall have been
passed upon.
His honor Associate Justice Mari has or
ddred writs of certiorar and prohibition to
issue as prayed for, returnable on Tuesday,
January ~.
As this Is the first time, we believe, In the
history Of the Jurisprudence OF this State that
the aid OF the writ Of certiorari, as provided
for In the Code Of Practice has been sought In
proceedings wherein the Supreme Court was
seized Of jurisdiction, the progress of this case
will. no doubt, be watched with interest by
members of the legal fraternity.

The Australian colonies are rapidly movi

The Australian colonies are rapidly moving
onward in the paths of civilization. They are
now enjoying, probably, more prosperity than
any other quarter Of the globe, The Aus
tralian constitution is framed pretty much
like that of the United States, but in some re-
spects, our neighbors on the other side of the
world are ahead of us. A telegraphic message,
for instance, can be sent from one end of Aus
tralia to the other, although the country is
larger than the United States, for less than
half what it costs to send similar dis
patch from New Orleans to New York,
in this progressive country. The Aus
tralian government also recognizes the
advantages of newspapers, and these
are mailed absolutely free; that Is, you can
send newspaper in the mail to any part Of
the country free of charge. the Australian gov
eminent very sensibly holding that the public
good done by the papers more than pays for
the petty cost Of postage stamps. It is the
only country that admits the true advantage
and benefits Of the fourth estate.

A case is now on appeal before the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts that shows posi-
bility of relief and escape for the taxpayer
from the tyranny and confiscation OF munich
nal taxation. Boston has developed in the
mast few years grand system Of internal
improvements, particularly in its suburban
districts, and IL laying out new boule-
wards, running through empty lots, filling
them up and paving them at the expense
of the unfortunate property holders living in
these portions of the city. Mr.. Geo. Bancroft
who owns some property thus affected, In
Cambridge, found himself assessed the other
tlay for a considerable sum to fill In street.
He declined to pay this, declaring that he was
unable to do 80, and that the property was
not worth the heavy expense the city put
anon it, He therefore turned 1t over to the
rity In lieu of taxes. When the city had ac-
cepted 1t, he brought suit for the original and
assessed value of the property before the bet
ferments" proposed had been made. The case
was fought desperately by the city, but in the
lower court Bancroft won partial victory,
whereupon the case was appealed to the SUI
preme Court.
TT Bancroft succeeds in his suit, taxpayers
will find a new mode of fighting taxes, ex-
tremelv dangerous to city interests. III such n
system were followed in Western cities, these
r,,,nicipalties would soon be wholly bank
rupt. as every one who now owns property
wa,,d refuse to pay taxes and turn his prop
ayty OYER to the city. which would soon find
;,sely ou,,er Of oil the taxable property within
NJ limits and indebted to its former taxpayers
for IT. assessed value.

less gloomy auspices they might have
reasonably deemed it prudent to ac-
cept the propositions Of this act
That they did vote for and accept it, we are
entirely certain and having accepted it
they will honorably stand by the bond, dollar
for dollar. Since that acceptance, whenever
the Northern hackers of the carpet-baggers
have charged us with repudating purposes,
we have pointed to that acceptance During
the last canvass, when the Republican press
sought to excite the whole moneyed interest
OF the world against us, and to deprive us OF
all human sympathy while they OVERRIDE us
with horse and foot, we protested that we
had ratified their own proposition for the set
Element of the debt; that we proposed, II re-
leased from our political bondage, to pay
every dollar of the funded debt; that 1t was
not twelve or fifteen millions Of indebted
ness which paralyzed our prosperity,
but lawless and wicked government
We said that if we were relieved OF carpet
baggery, our lands were so, rich, our climate
so genial, that the debt would be an easy
thing to carry and not in the end oppressive
to pay. Our papers all over the State said
this; our leaders on the stump made these
pledges, and the people, as far as a
people can, ratified them. The DEMOCRAT
took this position, and we feel, now
that the State is emancipated, we and
the whole people are bound by it.
We are so deeply impressed with this belief
that we shall give no countenance or support
to any movement which looks to the repudia-
ton of this debt. Our people voted to ratify
