The States, is Respondent over
Judge Tizsot's decision, which limits
the taxation of New Orleans formuni-
cipal purposes at the Constitutional
10 mills. Five mills according to an
other decision, from the Supreme
Court, are set aside to pay indebted
ness, so that there will be but five
mills left for other purposes, which,
the States deems an insufficient source
from whence the police, schools, gas
and other expenses are to be drawn.

A RAILROAD sUBsCRIp ZION.

Referring to the growth Of Natchez,
we took occasion last week, to point
to the enterprise of her citizens and
thereupon of the advocacy of a NUM-
cipal subscription of $225,OO0, which
the Democrat of that city has UNDER
taken with its usual practical argn-
mentation.
We take it that community occu-
pies position very similar to that of
business firm whose trade and wealth
increases in proportion to the energy
it displays in attracting new custom
crs. Every year spent in merely
making both ends meet is year lost
to commercial establishment. So it
is with q community.
In city where business is dull,
every inhabitant must necessarily
have a hard time in earning liveli-
hood. Ones object in life is not sim
ply to exc out an existence from hand
to mouth, but instead, to amass means
to procure comforts and even luxuries.
Like individuals, a community, if
it would prosper must make invest
ments. With increased trade, comes
additional population and wealth,
which render what would seem heavy
burdens to dull town, insignificant
obligations for a prosperous one to
cancel.
A merchant who doubles the vol
time of his business would gladly pay
higher rent. Without a remunera-
tive trade the free occupancy of a
building would be no advantage to
the tenant. Thus it is that to enrich
himself the property holder should be
willing to have the municipality tax
him for the purpose of attracting in
caeased trade, which, by giving occu-
patton to the mass Of the people,
would enable them to pay good rents
or purchase the real estate, which in
q dull place, is necessarily without
value.
We know that our advocacy ofpub-
lie enterprises by taxing the people,
will meet with violent opposition in
certain quarters. but we will go on,
nevertheless, combating for a policy
that has made Baton Rouge, the State
Capital, and Natchez thriving, hap
py ande growing city.
Baton Rouge needs a railroad to
Clinton and Liberty. The sooner
that end is reached, the quicker will
we arise from a slumber that seems to
have been the normal condition of our
citizens, who, by this time should
have discovered that "God helps those
who help themselves"
We have good reason to believe
that a SUBSCRIPTION of s75 or 100000
in bonds Bearing reasonable rate of
interest, to be met By special rail
road tax would, at this moment cause
arrangements to be effected, through
which the road to Liberty and Clinton
would be constructed at an early date.
That road means the handling of
$4,000 bales of cotton and booming
city in less than three years.
We are heartily in favor of such ac-
ton and unhesitatingly plant the CAP
IToLIAN in open antagonism to the
skin-fint policy, that has proven a
complete failure at all times.
Let's hear from the GROWERS.
