Cotton from a Distance.

We are glad to see that planters aud
farmers from the adjacent parishes are
bringing their cotton and other products
to Baton Rouge, where they find buyers
who without delay or any charges what
soever pay full price therefor to the
vendor, who either puts money in his
pocket or buys his supplies here, just
AS he pleases.
We have heard of parties coming from
Ascension, whon never before have sought
our market We doubt not that these,
on their return, will, by their statement,
cause Others to follow suit.
Our merchants are wide awake, liberal
and enterprising men, who By doing
justice to their customers, are seeking
to augment their business and that OF
Baton Rouge.
We are sure that all the country
people who can haul their products to
Baton Rouge, will be well pleased with
their dealings with our merchants.

The State and parish taxes for 1881
are now due, and from Il notice to be
found in another column, it will be seen
that Sheriff Bates is prepared to receive
them. This is one of the duties which
every good citizen most willingly
discharges to the commonwealth. 1t is
necessary to sustain the government
which protects life and liberty. We
frequently hear complaints that certain
parties have had their property assessed
far beneath its value, while that Of the
complainant is fixed at it's most extreme
worth, and he thinks it an injustice to
him. The responsibility for this does
not rest with the collector nor the asses
sors, but the people themselves. If one
man sees that another is swindling the
commonwealth by swearing to a false
valuation, it is his duty to himself and
the community at large to bear legiti-
mate evidence Of the fact, and not go
around grumbling uselessly. A fair and
equitable assessment, followed by full
and honorable adjustment of the differ
ent individual sums, will aggregate a
grand total sufficient to place our State
and parish affairs upon good financial
basis. Indifferent tax payers destroy
a governments equanimity and a weak
government fosters a nation Of grum-
blers which combined, create vice and
ignorance. So it is best that every in
dividual should pay his taxes, not from
fear of penalties attached, but from mo-
tiyes of patriotism.
ENCOURAGING.-About twenty-five
cadets took up their quarters at the
State University, Monday night. The

on Wednesday with a large attendance.
