TEa0 Hon. E. W. Robertson.
3 ton Rouge Advocate. ]

The denomination of Ghis able and efficient
member of the present Congress for election
to the next Congress is q fitting tribute from
the large number of intelligent gentlemen
who composed the convention to him and his
parish, which we are sure will be appreciated
in a becoming manner.
He had for competitors in the convention
such able, pure and patriotic gentlemen as X.
A. Cross, of East Feliciana, Prescott of st.
Landry, and Wickliffe, of West Feliciana.
His victory over them Is one that bears no
sting to the bosom of his competitors for
they like himself, are wholly unselhsh and
seek only at all times the good of the people.
Therefore, if the hirelings of the Custom
House, who are busying themselves in this
district in trying to create division In the
Democrat ranks by intriguing independent
movements, believe they are going to make
capital out OF the seeming opposition In the
convention to Col Robertson's denomination,
they are sadly mistaken.
In the first place, every true, honorable and
patriotic citizen who remembers, with horror,
the scoundrelism practiced upon them during
the reign of Radicalism In the times Of Grant.
Is not going to give countenance to any move
ment looking to q division Of the people to
enable carpet-baggers and scallawags to get
the heel OF oppression upon their necks again.

The Record of the Hopes at Newark.
It is proposed to give the oarsmen Of the
Hope club. who represented this city in the late
regatta at Newark. grand reception when they
return.
There WIS considerable disappointment in
consequence of the failure Of the crew of the
four-oared scull to win the race, but that this
failure was attributable not SO much to the lack
Of skill on the part of the crewas to
UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES.
the following paragraph, clipped from the
New York World Of the day preceding the race,
shows:
AL the contestants express themselves rs in
the best of health and the only thing that has
occurred in the way of accident was the break
ing of one OF the supports. in the Triton boat
house which held thn New Orleans boats.

They have been repaired, and it is thought that
the mishap will in no wise affect the South

AS everybody knows, the Hopes won the dou-
BILE scull race, and their winning time, 813I, is
the best on record. The next best time. which.
up to this regatta. had never been beaten was
made by the Quaker City Boat Club. now of
Detroit. and it was 9:18.

It needs not the pen of the chronicler to tell
that there is much suffering in our city now.
The long and idle summer has depleted the
purses of these who had employment during
the winter, and there are many families Who
even without any sickness, find 1t hard to make
both ends meet. If the situation of these is
precarious, how much more so is that of the
poor who have one, two or four stricken down
with the prevailing fever. That our people
might learn of the suffering now existing here.

THE EEvEE TAX.

From letter addressed by the tax collector
of st. Joseph parish of Tensas. to the secre-
tary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. it
seems that the levee commissioners will have
hard work collecting the taxes to pay for the
necessary work.
He states that the Board of Levee Commits
sioners of the Fourth District, of which that
parish is a part. have imposed a tax of SOC per
bale on cotton and of 81 per ton ON cotton seed,
shipped
The collection of this tax. from the talk of the
collector. appears to be impossible in the
parish account of the fnsurmounta-
BILE difficulty Of obtaining the amount Of
the various shipments of cotton and
cotton seed. He therefore proposes, as the most
feasible plan for the enforcement Of the tax,
that deputy be appointed. residing in New Or
leans, to wnom the tax could be paid by the con-
would show to whom the cotton or cotton seed
is consigned application would be.made to the
cOnsignee. who, upon obtaining the proper re-
ceipt. would pay the tax to the deputy.
AS far as we can judge and have been able to
ascertain we do not think that this plan will
work. Jhe factors will not AXE the trouble to
bother about paying the tax, and will certainly
| not be disposed, If their clients are unwilling.
to go against their wishes in the matter. AS
concerns the cotton seed. it Is the same. 1t is
shipped generally direct to the oil factories
| and these will undoubtedly be guided by the
| same idea as the cotton factors. If the tax is
lawful. some other means must be tried to en-
iorce its collection.

A HINT TO THE BOSSES.

This summer Is about the longest and most

and will probably last till the first of October.
Everybody is tired and, if we may use the ex-
preston, played out" Some strength and
energy must be held in reserve for the coming
winter season. and we think that all facilities.
therefore. should be given to the clerks for rest
and recreation. We had q talk yesterday with
one Of our leading merchants on this sub
jeet. and he suggested that it would be

been agitated for many months and which

the convention bridged this important issue,

resolution was so tempered as not to slight

amendments, and very justly SO. Ihey will
