Up in DE Witt county, Illinois, the
people are vigorous tax resisters. They
repudiated some railroad bonds there
last year, and have ever since been con
cocting schemes to avoid paying them.
One of their plans was to prevent the
sale of properties to satisfy judgments
by allowing no one to buy them. A tax
sale sharp from Indianapolis spoilt this
little game by appearing on the ground
and bidding in the properties, sold at ri
diculous rates. The virtuous De Writers
thereupon assaulted the offender and
were preparing to lynch him, when the
police rushed in and spoilt the lynching
The properties will again be put up for
sale, but it is thought that there will be
no bidders.

The railroads anticipate a general
strike this summer, such as paralyzed
them in 1877. They are determined to
be prepared, however. and are sending
out circulars 10 sill the lines to be organ
lied and prepared for movement of this
kind. The workingmen, this circular
declares. have never been more thor
oughly organized than aspresent. They
have already engaged in number OF
strikes, in nearly all of which they have
been successful. This will encourage
them to try others, and therefore it is
the duty of the railroads to be prepared.

Tom Buford, the assassin of Judge
Elliott, who got cleared on the plea that
he was out of his head, or drunk, or in

The Courier Journal says:
Poor Tom Bufordl His lapse into
dementia has been so rapid that he walk
ed yesterday from the Anchorage Asy-
lum, a distance of twelve miles, and
spent the day in social calls upon his
friends in this city. According to the

Garfield and Davenport.

Precisely why Mr.. Garfield should
have pitched on Johnny" Davenport,
as testified by him yesterday, to point
out ''good man" for the Marshalship
in New York, does not appear. Surely,
one would think there are enough decent
Republicans in the Empire State
competent to aid Mr.. Gar
field in making a selection without
calling on Davenport. Possibly, Mr..
Davenport's eminent success in the pecu.
liar role he has SO long Allied accounts
for his selection as an executive monitor.
The whole of this business has not been
gotten at yet. Disguise the affair as
Davenport may in equivocal recitals OF
what took place, he offered the Office to
Strahan as bribe, and it takes no long
stretch of fancy to conclude from what
he reveals that Mr.. Garfield, if not aware
of his purpose, might readily have
guessed it.

The Georgia Republican Association
in Washington City cannot be a very
large body of men. but 1t is a stirring
and active little band, and does not wall
to be called into session, but marches up
and volunteers its aid long before its
help is needed. The following, from the
National Republican,, will show how
eager these patriots are to cooperate
with the United States Marshal of this
State. Our old friend and townsman,
R. d. Locke, ESQ.,, is President of the
association. The Republican says:
General Longstreet received the members Of
the Georgia Republican Association yesterday
Ct half-past four b. m. at the Ebbitt House
MIR. R. D. Locke, President Of the association
after introducing the members, said:
Gener Alas you may know, some of us were
Union soldiers, some Confederate soldiers. and
others slaves; but we are all now citizens OF
Georgia and Republicans. We come to pay
our respects TO a distinguished citizen of oul
State, who is esteemed by all iberal-minded
people throughout the nation, and 20 von
graduate him upon being appointed, without
any solicitation on his part, to the office of
United States Marshal of Georgia. AS you will
in large measure be credited with whatever
Of success. or be held responsible fof. any
failure, which may Gttand tne efforts Of Re.
pubiieans in our State to triumph over
Rourbonisn4. we desire to assure you that we
are ready to cooperate with you Ia gealously
striving 70 further the best plan that can be
adopted to build up in Georgia liberal, pro
greSsive party.
To which the G:ea...ssrai briefly responded as
follows:
Gentlemen-I am pleased to meet you and
appreciate your kind remarks. shall be glad
TO have your cooperation in advancing the
principles of Republcanism in Georgia, and
making for our party there a better record in
the future than it has had in the past. If the
President will hold up my hands, and think
ne will. we will go through.
After a further exchange of courtesIes the
callers Withdrew,
Should General Longstreet get into
any trouble with the moonshiners in
Speer's district, or elsewhere, we hope
he will call on this association to join in
the march to the mountains. They car
aid the President, as no one else can, il
''holding up" the Marshals hands, anC
they should do it. They can illustrate
too, the advance of Republican prin
ciples in Georgia, for they all have easy
official places and liberal pay. Place
and pay are Republican principles, anC
the only ones that command any con
sideration in Georgia.

THE STREET RAILWAY ORDI.
NANCE.

We publish elsewhere the ordinance
submitted to the special committee
of tho City Council, by the Street
Railway Company.
With the usual provisos, we favor
the adoption Of the ordinance as it
stands, except that portion which au-
thorizes the company to fix the charg
es on passengers at a figure not ex-
eeeding ten cents.
We desire to amend dthis by author
izing the company to charge five
cents, but would require that the
company should obtain the consent
of the City Conncil, before it could
fix the same at ten cents. This to be
done after demonstrating to the
Council that such an increase was
necessary to enable the company to
successfully conduct its operations.
1t will be seen that, although the
ordinance gives to the company the
right ofconstructlng its lines on more
streets than the public might deem
necessary, they lose such right at the
expiration of three years on those
streets where the work has not been
completed within that time.
This clause in the ordinance is in
tended, in reality, to give them the
preference in selecting the most adj
vantageous route, while it protects
the citizens against any exclusion that
might be contemplated towards SIM
liar enterprises which might be un-
dertaizen on the streets not supplied
with tracks by the present company.
Louisiana capitolian., 1881-11-17

It must be borne in mind that this
is bone 1fde movement Of our citi-
zens, in which all those who are able
will have to contribute according to
their means, in order to insure it's
success.
1t is venture, whose success will
have the effect Of enhancing the val
ne of real estate all over the city,
thereby increasing her revenues,
while it will afford the greatest con-
venience to the public and add large
ly to the attractiveness of the city.
If the stock becomes very profta-
bic, the company, in it's own interest,
will eventually extend it's lines and
create pleasure resorts which our
people greatly need.
The time has come when our citi-
zens ought to make a combined ef-
fort to develop the growth and pros
perity of our city.
Hence, we believe in extending
every inducement and every facility
at the command of the City Council
to assist such Of our people who show
a disposition to labor towards that
end.
We should not be guided by the
narrow thought that property has
suddenly become very valuable be.
cause an offer to possess it has been
nude.
So far as we, are concerned, we
would like to see the projected en-
terprise prove bonanza to each OF
its promoters.
We want to see people make plen-
ty Of money out Of every enterprise
that contains and good for the COM
munity.

THE CAPITOL.

In an editorial headed as above,
our esteemed contemporary, the N.
o. States, argues in support Of Gov
ernor McEnery's action in convening
the extra session at New Orleans, ba-
sing its opinion upon the Governors
disinterestedness and legal acumen.
The States, in addition, lays much
stress upon the fact that it is of little
material interest to Baton Rouge
that the extra session is not held
there, and expresses the hope that
our citizens will not dispute the 10y
atty ofits acts, before the courts.
In reply, we would say to our
friends of the States, that we have
not relied solely upon our interpre-
tation of the letter of the constitu-
ton, regarding the matter at issue,
but have been strengthened therein
by the opinions of attorneys of rec
Ognized force and ability.
So far as the matter of expense
to be incurred by the State, at New
Orleans or Baton Rouge, there can
be no other difference, than the pos
sible cost OF renting Pixies Hall, at
Baton Rouge, for the use of the
House of Representatives, during the
period Of such occupancy; an expense
that would not amount to more than
one or two hundred dollars. The
Senate could hold its sessions at el-
thcr our Court House or City Hall,
free of charge. The same can be said
with regard to committee rooms.
The States is doubtless aware of
the fact that the furniture and ar
chives of the State will have to be
transported to this city, at one time
or another; and that an appropria-
tion for that purpose was made at
the regular session of 1890. Hence,
no further outlay Oh that score would
be required.
The overshadowing consideration
lies in the inviolability Of the pro-
visions of the constitution. In this
the people of the whole State are
deeply interested.
If the Governor can disregard its
mandates on the plea Of expediency,
in one instance, he can certainly do
so in another.
In plain words, we want Demo-
cratic Government, instead of a SEM
blance of a constitutional government
subject to the will and pleasure of
the Executive, no matter how much
faith we may have IN the purity of
his motives.
Governor McEnery has no bet
ter friend in the State than ourself.
For that very reason do we deplOre
his hasty action in the premises and
earnestly hope that he will conclude
to harmonize conflicting opinions on
the subject, by amending his call
and substituting Baton Rouge for
New Orleans; thereby removing all
question as to the legality of the acts
of the forthcoming extra session of
the Assembly.
By respecting thus the constitution
of which he is the guardian, he will
exhibit his fidelity thereto, as well as
the becoming Difference he entertains
for the wishes and opinions of the
Daonle of every section of the State.
