rst,ll;s,, . co,tra st with New York.

Establisha a contrast with New York,
Boston, Baltimore and the Eastern
cities, and it will be found that for
nominal sum the people living within
a radius Of a few hundred miles, flock
to those cities frequently, eitherto do
their trading or for sight seeing.
If the merchants Of New Orleans
will unite in an effort to cheaper
freights and passage to their city,
they will soon be astonished to see
great crowds filling their stores
and thoroughfares almost the entire
year round.
The merchants of the Crescent City
must facilitate their country neigh
bors in reaching them. They must
sec to it that frequent intercourse ex-
lists with the rural districts adjacent.
They must themselves and their
representatives come often in contact
with the inhabitants of the parishes.
Thus will they establish markets for
the sale of their goods, instead ofper-
hitting the merchants Of the far East
and West to carry away the sub
stance of the richest State in the Union.
There arc thousands upon thous-
ands of the residents of New Orleans
who have never, during the entire
course of their existence, gone as far
as q hundred miles in the interior of
the State. OF course they imagine
that the wilderness and back woods
begin just above Carrolton.
We throw out these suggestions in
all friendship to tho generous and
open hearted people of New Orleans,
I
whose prosperity we are anxious to
aid. Our humble advice to them, and
particularly to their journalists, is:
Don't look quite so far across the blue
waves of the Gulf aud the Atlantic,
but more to your Immediate neigh
bors. Make the way easy: for them
to communicate with you, and youl
commerce will recuperate at the same
time that the waste lands will become
thickly settled with people who will
feel happy in the consciousness that
q great market is within easy reach

ACTION WANTED AT ONCE.

We observe by one four New Or
leans exchanges that movement is
now in progress to construct wharf
1000 feet long at the village Of Gretna,
opposite the city. This, it is claimed,
is in consequence Of the heavy ton
mage duesexacted on shipping at New
Orleans. 1t is also understood that a
tract of land at Freetown has been
leased for the purpose of erecting
thereon q number of cotton gin estab-
lishments.
Thus, one would infer, that in con-
sequence Of a lack Of wisdom in some
quarter the city Of New Orleans is
liable to drive it's legitimate business
from it's own doors. Should elevators
be erected at Gretna and other steps
taken to lessen the present tonnage
on shipping, together with the estab-
lishment of Commission houses and
Factories, it will certainly strike a
blow to the city from which it will
be hard to recover.
Again, should Messrs. Gould and
Scott determine to extend the New
Orleans Pacific Railroad through OF
near Baton Rouge to New Orleans, by
the left bank of the river, the time will
not be far distant when grain eleva-
tors, cotton gins and manufactures Of
every description will loom up in
large numbers here. The producing
classes must have q market where
they can obtain the highest prices
Shippers will seek port where the
smallest tonnage is exacted. And the
mercantile and manufacturing classes
will establish themselves where taxa.
tion is lightest and where they vii
be exempt from the heavy burthens
usually incident to large city govern
ments. Close economy is q rule tha
must be observed i'll every kind o
business and capitalists are rightfull.
very cautious as to how and wher'
they will invest their means. Th'

and passage tariffs imposed by com

The Bossicr Banner says that we
have good country, as good as any

tate that we use every effort to make
it what we can easily do, a happy and
prosperous State. Our lands arc

kets numerous; our climate salubri-
Gus; our soil adapted to the growth OF

The Alexandria Democrat says that
Harry Wheeler, the negro who mur-
dered Mr.. Thomas Phillips in Grant
parish a short time ago, was killed at
Thompson's ferry, near White Sui
phcr Springs, by officers whc were in
pursuit of him. Just one week after
the murder, Wheeler was discovered
in corncrib, near the ferry, and was
surrounded by the posse. He had in
his possession 4 shot gun, large
knife, refused to be arrested and at
tempted to run the pickets, when he
was fired on by them and killed. An
inquest was held and the verdict was
that he came to his death avoiding
arrest by officers of the law.

A PRESS ASSOCIATION.

At the request of the CAPIToLIAN
that we as a pioneer in the movement
fotthc organization Of a press associ-
alton name q place of meeting, we
suggest that editors and publishers
interested in the movement meet in
Monroe, on the Ouachita river, on
Wednesday the 9Th Of September.
This point may be easily reached, we
think, by the greatest number of the
brethren. We decidedly prefer this
point to New Orleans, and think rca-
sons in its favor preponderate. Next
to Monroe we would favor Shreve-
port. There are many country edi-
tors who can't go to New Orleans, but
they can easily get to either Of these
points. Would the Bulletin and Tel
egraph be glad to see us?-Claiborne
Guardian.
In reply to the above suggestion,
we would express our entire willing
ness to meet our brethren Of the Press
| at Monroe or elsewhere. Yet the Pa
triot- Democrat and Southern Watch
man, of Clinton; the Sentinel of st.
Francisvillc ; the West Baton Rouge
Sugar Planter; and last, but
not least, the n. O. Democrat, have
asscnted to the proposition to assem-
bic in this city on the first Monday in
October. We could not therefore yield
the point to the Guardian for fear thai
by so doing, our contrcrcs might con
struc our action as indicating reluc
tancc Oh the part of our citizens ant
the CArlrOMAN to welcome them il
the Capital City.
Such is not the case, as many of Ou
citizens have expressed their great dc
sire to extend their welcome to thu
; representatives of the State Press
should they see fit to honor the Capt.
tai City by their presence on so com
mcndable an errand.
In order to settle the difference, W
respectfully suggest that each papc
favoring the movement, express 1t
preference, agreeing at the same tim
to abide by the will of the majority
We therefore place at the head of on
columns, our ticket ''For the Pres
Convention to be holden October 4t

WHAT NEW ORLEANS SHOULD DO.

We have frequently read with at
tention the editorials of our cOntcm-
poraries of the Crescent City, regard
ing the future of the metropolis of the
Mississippi valley. Very pretty dis
sertations indeed have the writer's i'll
dulged in, when penning their bright
dreams of a network of steamship
lines to Brazil, Mexico and Central
America, as the carriers of the cereals
of those rich countries, brought in ex-
change for the products of the West
and the golden shores of the Pacific,
that ere long would naturally be
poured into the lap of the great city,
through the manifold railways and
the numberlcss steamers and barges
whose objective point of delivery
would be its vaunted markets.
All these themes have thus fal
amounted to naught but enterprises
in embryo. Seldom though have we
seen well directed and persistent cf-
forts to achieve practical results
While indulging in bright visions,
both the press and the merchants Of
New Orleans, have allowed the wealtl
and the commerce which is at it's very
gates to be diverted to the inland
cities of St. Louis, the other Western
centres and the sea ports Of the East
Millions of dollars are annually car
ried away to these points by the en-
terprise Of their mercantile firms, wht
fiji the country with their agents, Of
fcring goods at lower prices, while they
are forwarded to the purchasers a
comparatively nominal rates for trans
pOrtatiOn. 1t is not ut all unusual tt
have goods coming from Western
cities, landed at Baton Rouge, fo
instance, at a less cost than thOs'
from New Orleans, which is but ON
hundred and thirty miles distant.
In addition to exorbltant freigh
charges, an almost prohibitory tax j
levied by the steamers on the inhabi
tants of the coast and the interiO
parishes in the matter of the fare 70
passengers. A citizen who goes t.
New Orleans from here, has to pa,
five dollars to go and five more to re
turn. BY close economy if he stay
in the city two or three days he vii
not spend less than from ten to tifteel
dollars. Here is total Of twenty-fv
dollars. How many can afford to con
tribute that amount very Often9
The consequence is that til
great bulk ofthe people residingin tn
country are as much kept away fron
their metropolis as if they were loca
tod in distant State.

Tax Rece ipt FOrSeries.


1t seems before the proceedings for the
binding over officers Of the United
States District Court, that Patrick
Hickey who had been q resident Of the
city and Stats but few months, voted
in the Second Ward on the day Of the
| Presidents election, and 1t also ap-
pears that he had . regular genuine
tax receipt to enable him to vote. 1t
would BIZ interesting to know where
those tax receipts came from. Hickey
could not have possibly been assessed,
and yet he turned up all right 50 far as
the tax receipt business was concerned
but lacked tne residence qualification.
Had he possessed the latter his vote
would no doubt have gone unchGl-
lepged like hupdrs DIS Of others that
voted the Democratic ticket on th1t
day. There seems to have been no
difficulty whatever in procuring tax
receipts for all who would vote tAe
Democratic ticket, and quite number
Of Republicans who were supposed to
be Democrats were importuned to &c.
cept them. Tax receipts were dis
tfibuted amongst the supposed faithful
Democrats who were not assessed, and
who had mot been In the State year,
several days before tae election. Sun
day even was made use Of for the dis
tribution Of these tax receipts when
men could be found at home and when
the receipts would bs sure TO get into
the right hands. Indeed there we're
tax receipts everywhere for Democrats.
There was scarcely regular or special
police oficer 10 the force on elrcti9E
day who could net on the instant fz 81

The question Is, where did this ava

body must have issued them. They
must either have beeL forged or genu-
inc. MI. Carpenter, the tax collector
for the Northern district, we are in
formed, has denied the gepuineness Of
some that bore his name, This being
the case then We have no doubt that
there must have been q Democratic
forged tax receipt bureau in the CITY
somewhere, and could the principal
fOrgers be caught the peniteptjary |
should be made their home.
It does seem somehow that these
forgera ought to be discovered, exposed
and punished. A reward Of a few
hundred dollars it seems 10 us would
help along amazingly to bring the
forgers to justice. There sre persons,
quite a number Of them no doubt, who
have some of these forged tax receipts
in their posi- ssion, and who have not
voted upon them who should have them
tested, and if found to be forged, they
should be traced to the source from
which they vera issued. Persons hsv-
ing such receipts in their possession
would be doing the public a great good
by giving them to United States
officer that the guilty parties may be
hunted down and such dishOnes. ID odes
OF e!e@tionee7iug may be broken up.
The evils Of sending out genuiAe tax
receipts IL bulk to be given to genuine
voters, and for which the party agrees
to pay are bad enough without having
the city flooded vita forged tax receipts
for non residents and those who failed
to be assessed. All parties should
unite in hunting down the forgers, and
in this none should join more heartily
than the two tax collectors OF cur city
whose names have so often been mit-
used.
