portiOnment Of the debt among The munici-
palities, nor the assessment Of special tax
ON real estate and slaves secured by contract.
Section 81 Of the act OF 1861, In SO far az II
authorizes special tax. Is in violation Of
article 127 Of the constitution Of 1916, and was
repealed by the act OF 1856, which IL constitu-
tional.
In reply to the plea that the relator acquired
his rights under the Interpretation OF the
courts In the cases Of Duncan and Cummings,
that article 127 did not apply to municipal
taxation, the court says that this point was
not at Issue In those cases, the decision being
merely that under general power to tax real
and personal property, a corporation was not
obliged to tax both, and that tax imposed
only on real estate was equal and uniform In
the contemplation Of the law.
The further plea that the relator had the
right to proceed by mandamus because he
was entitled to that process at the time his
bonds were issued, was also overruled. The
remedial forms Of the law may be changed
at any time. "What the sutton has the right
to claim Ia the use Of such remedy as may be
adequate to his demand, not that he shall be
permitted to enforce that demand In any
special form or by any specific process" The
act Of 1870 prohibits proceeding by mandamus
against the city, and compels creditors Of the
city to proceed by ordinary suit, judgments
to be recorded and paid out Of the next years
budget. The Southern Bank must resort to |
that process. The mandamus and Injunction
were both dismissed. This is as short 6nd |

Our excellent contemporary has taken q
rather cynical and distempered view Of the
situation. Louisiana has not been redeemed
twice, or even once rs yet. In 1876 the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives carried the election,
defeating Packard and electing Nichols. The
result Of the election was that. after several
months Of anarchy and almost revolution,
Gov Nichols and the other Democratic and
Conservative State officials were inaugurated,
and mongrel Legislature was made up, by
purchase and compromise, Of elected Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives and elected and de-
feated Radicals. The conclusion was that
the Democrats came into substantial pos
session Of the State; but they also came into
with 1t, Of q cumbersome, expen-
sive and oppressive machinery Of government,
constructed to impoverish the taxpayers and
Industrial classes, and to feed and support an
army Of useless ofaceholders.
By this arrangement the State was not re-
deemed; but we thought we were in'aposition
to redeem 1t by calling constitutional con-
vention which would remodel the machinery
OF government, abolish all needless offices
and reduce all salaries and other expendi-
lures to q level vita the fortunes Of our long
plundered and impoverished people. How
this measure was defeated is matter of
history. The DEMOCRAT on this proposition
and on the repeal Of the charter Of the Lot
terry Company which was largely influencing
legislation through It's absolute ownership Of
the Radical members and few so-called
Democrats, took issue with large faction Of
it's party which opposed convention or any
with so-called vested rights Of
the monopolles. We failed to impress these
upon the Legislature, and carried
the issue before the people and the Demo
cratic convention at Baton Rouge, and the
Democracy Of the State In the late election
fully sustained us by indorsing our policy.
The business OF the Legislature just elected
