notice OF 1878 served on VIM. III. Vanderbilt,
which was returned with the Endorsement of
Mr.. Vanderbilt that he owned no personal
property in excess OF his debts. One Of the
tax commissioners said to-day: Ninety
first thought that Mr.. Vanderbilt must have
periured himself in swearing to such thing.
Personally do not know him, but have no
doubt that he told the truth.
The laws are so defective the exemptions
OF property by the United States and State
laws are so numerous, and the means OF eyad-
ing taxation are 80 many and so simple, that
/ am almost surprised that any one pays q
tax. Our entire system OF personal taxation
is little better than farce; Legislatures and
to such an extent that all large properties
escape taxation and the burden falls upon
widows and orphans, whose property is In
the surroga56s hands, and upon small prop
erty owners, who are unable to place their
possessions where they will escape ass ss-
ment The gentleman gives few instances
OF the expedfents employed to escape taxation.
The president OF one OF the city's great cor
poratlons enjoys q salary and income OF
$40, 900 year. He lives in costly house on
Murray Hill, and his possessions Of bonds,
mortgages and securities are large. He was
assessed on personal property In this city.
Under oatn he said he was farmer by oc-
cuption, that his residence was in another

York. Persons visiting Europe are usually
followed by the tax notices. It is not an un-
heard OF thing for them to go before an
American consul and make an affidavit that
they are no longer citizens OF the United
States. In few months they are back again
In New York and engaged In their Usual
business. There are thousands OF residents
OF Brooklyn who own valuable personal prop
erty In New York which the New York asses
sors cannot get hold OF. The Brooklyn asses
sors also miss It, and for scores Of years 1t
has paid no tax. The removal OF securities
from New York to places of deposit in New
Jersey and Connecticut and the temporary
conversion OF taxable State or city bonds
that cannot be taxed. are some OF the many
devices to escape taxation.

1t is stated here that Mr.. Tilden not only
does not regard himself as having been in
jured at all by the cipher telegram exposure,
but that he still confidently expects to secure
the Democratic nomination in 1880. 1t Is not
known yet what course he intends to take to
demonstrate to the country his innocence OF
the plot to buy three or four States with his
money; but 1t is certain that he has stated
recently that If he can secure harmony in the
Democratic party Of this State he believes he
will receive q denomination for the Presiden-
cy. Politicians about the City Hall, who are
authorities on these matters, say that this
whole movement for q reconciliation Of the
Democratic factions OF this city on the one
hand, and for the capture Of Tammany on the
other, is the idea Of Mr.. Tilden, and that Mr..
Tilden Is managing and directing 1t. The
two plans are apparently In conflict but one
is to be made to do the business, II possible; II
the other fails, the end and purpose OF them
both being to crush out discord. and swing
the whole power OF the united Democracy OF
New York In favor Of the statesman Of Ora
mercy Park In 1880.

Billy" the pioneer of Comstock, died at
o'clock yesterday. De maortuis na nisi bonupa
nevertheless Billy died OF the delirium tre-
mems. Eight years ago he was an innocent,
soft-nosed little black lamb, SO pretty that the
police force adopted him as their pet. As this
innocent lambkin grew In years and became
more civilized, he grew in vice. First the
officers taught him to chew tobacco, then
they gave him plain cider, and after awhile
whisky. In year or so Billy got to be the
most reckless inebriate west OF the Missis-
sippi. He bummed drinks off Of everybody
He knew all the saloons In town and used to
go the rounds every day. Once, and only
once, was he known to turn his nose up at
drink, and that was when offered water
When very drunk he was very fastidious, and
refused to touch anything but champagne.
Yesterday morning he ba-ba'd for whisky,
and some fool gave him quart can chuck
full OF the stuff. Billy drank 1t off and at once
became much intoxicated. He showed signs
OF the "rams" Literally "rams" In this case
and at midnight he breathed his last. He
was buried this morning. A monument will
be erected over his grave.

No Ratincatien Of the Convention Needea.
fOpelousas Courierl

One Of the provisions OF the bill calling a
constitutional convention was that IL should
be submitted to the people for ratification by
ballot In November next. We are aware that
the action Of q convention is usually sub
mitted to the voters for confirmation or re-
lection; but would not an organic law passed
by delegates elected by the people expressly
for that purpose be equally binding upon
them, without the sanction OF an additional
vote TO make 1t the supreme law OF the State2
We make this inquiry, because we are sat-
isfied that herculean effort will be made to
defeat its ratification by State bondholders,
OF offices with fat salaries, and
the Republican party. This is no small COM
and is calculated to excite grave ap-
prehensions as to its final adoption-when
menaced by 30 many open and covert enc
mics. If defeated by such conspiracy, the
time and expense of convention will have
been lost and the State will necessarily fall
back into the rayenous clutches OF the "old
hyenan of 1868.

leave OF absence In the hope Of recuperation.
His complaint. however. soon developed into
Brfghts disease OF the kidneys. for which no
cure has yet been discovered by the medical

Monday afternoon.
The deceased officer was in many respects a
remarkabe man. He was thoroughly versed

from clerk up to director. Full OF energy and
zeal for his department. he had the faculty OF
inspiring others BY his own exam ole. His death

The Alexandria Democrat says that there is
nothing talked Of In its parish but the repu-
diation of the State debt. The most promi-
nent men OF that parish seem to incline to the
opinion that the debt is too neavy 70 pc car
length of formulating the debt as an entirety,
but we agree with a majority Of the people Of
this Stafe, that the burden will have In some
way or other to be lightened. 1t is impossible
for the people to stagger longer under the
now stand, the whole burden OF the govern
ment falls on the shoulders OF one-haH Of the
poDulation, the other half being unable to
bear their quota. Talk as we may OF the
public faith, there Is no justice in this, and
there will never be any justice In 1t as long as
the rate Of taxation continues what it Is. It
Is well that the fact should be plainly under
stood; half OF our people are not able to pay
their taxes, and the overburdened half are
not willing to make up the deficit

who could refuse it and lose the Presidency
to which he was elected, or grant 1t and win

more Intimidation Needed.
IOpelousas Courier.I

For once the rural members OF the Legisla-
tnre have carried the day. The New Orleans
Times OF January II, In commenting upon the
passage OF the bill calling constitutional
convention, says that several Of the legisla-
tors from the city were actually "bulldozeds
into support OF 1t by the country members
refusing to aid In important legislation for
the city II the constitutional bill was not
passed. 1t seems that the word "bulldozing"
has generic Specification now, and compre-
hends any opposition that may be made to
organized rings or other oppressive oligar-
chies. All honor to the country members for
their nerve and pluck. Give little more OF
the same kind OF intimidation" and ere long
the State will be relieved Of its burdensOme
taxation, and rings and monopolies will be
shorn OF their ill-gotten power.

Not much, but just that. He left three min

The Construction Of the Pension Bln Ms.
cussed Sitting Bulls Return to
the United States.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-In the Cabinet ses-
sion to-day the construction to be placed on
certain parts OF the pension bill was discussed
at length, but without final action. The point
to determine was whether or not the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury had the authority, un-
der the act, to pay the claims arising there
under. The question went over for further
consideration.
Secretary Schurz stated that there seemed
to be no doubt but that Sitting Bull, with his
entire force had crossed the border, but as
vet he had not been advised as to what the
Indians wanted or intended to do. Efforts
are being made by both the War and Interior
Departments to reach Sitting Bulls camp
and ascertain definitely why he crossed the
border. There is an important international
question involved In this matter, which the
Secretary OF State will at once bring to the
notice Of the British authorities.
