RAPIDES PARISH UNHAPPY.

From the Alexandria Central EX-
press we copy the following article,
headed " Mr.. Hathaway"
We must confess to no little surprise
on reading a paragraph in the Demo-
crat of this week eulogizing this mis-
Representative of our parish, Why
our esteemed contemporary should do
people as to suggest his reelection is
incomprehensible. 1t is shock to
good morals and dccency. The Demo
crat informed the public, when Mr..
Hathaway returned from his first ses.
sion, year before last, that he had gone
to the Legislature empty-handed, and
came back with lot of plumber OF
considerable value. All the world
knows that members of the Legisla'
| ture can not accumulate money from
their pay. Those who play poker sue
cessfully may do it, and Mr.. Hathaway
may be one of that class, for aught we
know, but that was not the explana-
ton given or received at the time. His
plumber was and is believed to have
been derived from the Lottery ring,
and the Democrat minated, if it did
not openly charge as much. We do
not choose to say what our own opinion
is. 1t is sufficient that the Democrat
pointed him out as one of Towards
men, and ne has not yet vindicated him
self. Other parishes may honor such
characters. I,apides wants none o
them.

The State tax collector of the upper
districts of the city gives official notice,
ssto all whom it may concern that
the tax rolls OF tho STAKES of tho year
1882 are on file in his Office and "that
they are now due" This is certainly
an error Under Article 30 of the
Constitution the State and city, of taxes
not due until tho end of the year, viz:
the 31st of December. The article
reads as follows:
"Thcre shall be no forfeiture of prop
erty for the nou-payment of taxes
State, levee, district, parochial or
municipal, but ut the expiration of the
year in which they are due the collector
shall, without suit, and after giving
due notice to the delinquent in the
manner to he provided by law (which
shall not be by publication, except in
case Of unknown owncr)-advertisc for
sale the property on which the taxes
judicial sales'
From this it will be seen that tax
payers have until the 3lst of December,
in which to pay their taxes without
being delinqucnts or mourning any
costs or interest. After that time, how
| ever, they arc liable to the penalties
fixed by law, 1T is entirely optional
with them to pay now or at any time
up to the 31st of December.
But even after that time tho collect

quired by law. Collector Houston says

we are reterring) once week for two
weeks and the posting thereof on the
door Of the room in which the Civil
District Court Of the parish of Orleans
is held, is by law made II full and com
plete notice to each taxpayer and to
any person whom it may in any man.
ner concern" This is not in accordance
with the provision of tho Constitution,
which says that the notice to delin-
| quents "shall not be by publications. -
This is higher authority than any
statute that can be relied upon to war
rant this method OF giving notice
adopted by the collector.
The collectors invitation to tax
payers "to call at once in order to avoid
interest and costs" can have no applica-
tiou until after the 31st of December.
Then the taxpayers must heed his
warning, But unless they see proper

to dose voluntarily, there is no power
any where to force them to pay their
taxes until sat the expiration of the
year in which they are due"
In the mean time, there is no au-
thority to compel the taxpayer to set
tie, except such wise and economical
administration of affairs, or demands
upon his patriotism and sense of public
duty, as will induce him to pay his
taxes and facilitate the efforts of public
officials to carry on the government.

In view of the fact that nearly all the

ting the denomination OF Gen. King
for Congress-, it is hardly fair to Mr..
Boatner to say that he is prccipitating
the canvass, or, as the Morehouse Clar-
ion intimates, to say that he and his
friends are taking advantage of Gen.
Kings enfirced absence. Mr.. Boatner
has not, as matter of fact, left Mon
roe to canvass the district, nor, has he,
so far as we are informed, any grounds
of opposition to Gen. King, more than
that he desires the position of Congress-
man and believes he can fill the place
to the satisfaction of the people of the
district. Forsome time the papers of the
districts--the TELEGRAPH among the
number-havc been publishing letters
| favorable to the denomination Of Gen.
King. 1t is but fair to Mr.. Boatner to
say that under such circumstances he
had right to, regard the canvass as
open, and that the friends of Gen King
have no right whatever to complain.
We are informed by Mr.. Boatner that
he expects to canvass the parishes of the

THE POLITICAL STRUGGLE IN LOU.
lSIANA.

lSIANA.
1t has been apparent for some time
that the election next November in
Louisiana, for members of Congress,
would not be permitted to proceed to
final result without efforts on the part
Of Republicans to carry at least a ma
jority Of the six districts into which
the State is divided. The President,
while favoring liberal policy in i'm
proving the Mississippi river, has
steadily favored strict discipline in his
party and policy which would draw
recruits from Democratic ranks in all
doubtful Southern districts; and the
Republican Congressional Committee
has been active in collecting funds and
laying plans to further the aims of the
Administration.
1t may be admitted now that there
Is but small hopes of the political COM
plexion of the U. s. Senate being
changed during the present Admins
tration, and it may be taken for granted
that President Arthur Is scheming to
be his own successor. What greater
claim could he present to the next nom-
mating convention of his party than
that, having the Senate secure, the
people, at the polls, endorsed his pol
icy by returning a majority OF Con-
pressmen who are friends of his Ad-
ministration?
There will be, we suspect, no general
plan of battle pursued by the Admin
istration, throughout the Union to
carry the next House, but local or State
issues, especially where the result is
doubtful, will be expected to control
the result. Mr.. Lowe, of Alabama,
and Mr.. Jones, of Texas, will be en-
couraged as greenbackers, Gen. Chal-
mers, of Mississippi, as an independ-
emit, and Wise, Paul and others OF
Virginia as re-adjusters. Disaf1ection
among Democrats and division among
the white people of the South will be
the aim of the Administration.
Respecting Louisiana, the indica.
lions point to a vigorous opposition to
continuing the tariff on sugar. A cir
cular, giving seven reasons why the
tariff on sugar should be reduced, has
been prepared and submitted to men,
bers of Congress. The reasons urged
are as follows:
I. Sugar is no longer q luxury, but a
necessity.
2. On every dollars worth of sugar
consumed in the country duty of 30
cents is paid to the government.
3. This tax is unnecessary and bur
densome.
4. One-tifth of this tax was put on
March, 1876, to meet an emergency
which does not now exist.
5. A decrease of tax on sugar would
be shared by the entire people, and
would be more helpful to the whole
people than any other reduction that
can be made on the tariff.
6. The adulteration of sugar is in
creasing enormously. a reduction in
tariff would tend to stop adulteration
by rendering pure sugar cheaper.
7. The Louisiana planters, the only
possible directors, made their largest
crop under tariff which averaged
about one cent n pound.
