to revive her deprecated credit, and to re-
lieve her people and their Industries from ex-
actions, which mean nothing less than
gradual confiseation and eventual bankrupt
cy. We have shown that people may bear
the most onerous taxation and yet grow rich /;
but when people are not prosperous, as
In our case. and when taxation has
become SO prodigious as to threaten
ruin and disgrace and the destruction Of pub
lie as well as private credit another law, the
law Of self-preservation, more imperative
than all others, comes In and demands OBJ
servance. But this law does not compel us
to dishonor ourselves or to destroy our pub
Zig credit as precaution against present or
future calamity. As for Reputation arbi-
trary and absolute reputation. we shrink
from It as supreme disgrace.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-05-20

should appear to possess assets Of eleven
millions dollars, and yet her floating debt OF
three millions be hawked about the streess
at from fifteen to forty cents on the dollar'
However, 1t must not be forgotten that the
eleven millions Of delinquent taxes can
never, under any system of collection, yield
to the State more than four millions OF DOL
lars, IL that much. Within the eleven millions
Is embraced the erroneous assessments OF
fourteen years; against many corporations
and individuals four times the actual value !;
against firms and individuals who have be-
come bankrupt; against lands which have
long since ceased to be productive, and
against lands which had no value when the
assessment was made; also the assessments
against property waieh has since been de-
stroyed.
70 these instances may be added the appa-
rent doIinquents who are now presenting
their tax receipts, having paid unfaithful
officers, who failed to account to the State.
The problem, then, seems to be how best to
ascertain what is actually and fairly due the
State for back taxes: then ascertain what Is
actually and fairly due by the State on ac-
count of her floating debt, and If one can be
made to offset the other 1t would be the part
OF wisdom on the part of the government to
do so.
This measure Of relief should, however, pro-
vide for speedy determination OF all ques-
lions pending between individuals and corpo-
rations as to the justice and legality OF the
claims Of the State. Ii property has been
forfeited and complainants against erroneous
assessments have not had an opportunity to
rectify such evils before courts OF justice by
fair trial Of their cause, this right should be
accorded them, and all amounts due the State
for back taxes and licenses should be received
In the valid warrants, certificates and coupons
OF the State, outstanding for back years.
Ii within one year this incubus of floating
debt can be cleared off, our expenditures re-
duced and our finances administered upon a
cash basis, the effect upon the credit Of the
State will be most beneficial. Neither State
nor city credit can command respect with
four millions of deprecated floating debt
flooding the local markets. Whilst the Con-
vention will do wisely In reopening the
avenues of justice to injured citizens, 1t will
also be necessary to protect the State by a
careful examination OF the indebtedness
which Is to be made receivable.
Rumors have been freely circulated that
the balances standing to the credit of various
appropriations In past years had been i'm
properly drawn. The abstraction of the
books from the Auditors Office renders it inn
possible to verify or disprove these state
ments from the records. careful scrutiny
should be had of all outstanding warrants,
and only those which have been legally is
sued should be made applicable to the pay
ment of back taxes and licenses.

The Constitutional Convention yesterday
passed through its second reading the appor-
tionment ordinance reported BY the commit
tee. It retains In force until 1890 the present
apportionment of the State into senatorial and
representative districts. There was no dis
cussion upon the ordinance, the Republicans
contenting themselves with demanding the
yeas and nays and voting generally In the
negative. The report of the Committee on
Limitations was then taken up, and the re-
mainder of the session was consumed in its
consideration. Several sections, in addition
to those previously reported, we're adopted

The two cities of Atchison and Leaven-
worth, Kansaa. have lately become bi tterly
hostile to each other. The steamer Kinney
reached Leavenworth. the other day with a
cargo Of three hundred Southern negroes,
which 1t prepared to land there. The mayor
OF Leavenworth, an extreme Radical, was at
the landing, however, with posse and forbid
this A compromise was finally agreed on
by which the captain Of the Kinney received
$3.50 on promise to take the negroes to some
place outside of Leavenworth county. This
was done as agreed on. and the cargo was
shipped to and landed at Atchison, where the
negroes have remained ever since, supported

BACK TAXES AND WARRANTS.

There is due to the State the sum OF
eleven millions of dollars for back taxes, as
now appears from the report of the Auditor.
The State is indebted to her officials for pub
lie services and to her people for supplies fur
nished for carrying on the government, also
for the rebuilding of levees and unpaid inter
est, about three millions Of dollars.
A problem now before the Convention is
how to promptly apply the outstanding war
rants or evidences of Indebtedness Of the State
to the liquidation Of the delinquent taxes due
and unpaid.
A complete wiping out Of all claims Of the
State for back taxes accrued prior to the inau-
guration of the Nichols government is advo-
Gated; but such a measure would carry with it
the correIative action Of repudiating all back
warrants at the same time, otherwise an
abatement of the back taxes In favor OF delin-
quents would impose upon the taxpayer who
had already paid his share Of the burdens of
government the additional burden created by
the failure of the delinquent.
An objection has been raised to any action
concerning back taxes, because Of the fact
that non-payment Of taxes has been encour-
aged in the past by the successive acts of
legislation remitting penalties and extending
the time of payment; also by reason of de-
preciated warrants being made receivable,
thereby holding out a perpetual premium to
the delinquent. All this we grant, but
the very Inconsistencies of legislation
In the past, when considered in
connection with other reasons which are
advanced, argues in favor of the conven-
ton engaged in framing our organic law for
future generations dealing out even handed
justice, well tempered with compassion for
the unfortunate, and, at the sane time, laying
down the princiale that hereafter the old rule
shall be reverb and the rewards or pre-
miums shall Ito the prompt cossributor to
the support Of government.
