A very beautiful illustration of the de-
sire for spoils by. the Repu alican Senator's
is portrayed in. the action of Senator
Sherman in the discharge of little Harry
Morgan, who was made door keeper
by the la!e. Vice President Hendricks.
Mr.. Sherman had not been in Office as
the successor of Mr.. Hendricks twenty
four hours before a clean Democratic
sweep was made and Republicans placed
on the watch.

HAAsv1LLE, La, Oct. l2, 1885.

The three weeks of fair weather just
past has been great blessing to the
farming community in this vicinity.
The dry days have been made good
use of for gathering the corn, cotton
and hay The cotton crop is short. aud
very few planters in this locality will
be able, the best they can do, to gather
over half bale, on an average, to the
acre. Sugar cane is very fine, though
little late. Corn is excellent, but the
pea hay is very poor-that is, much of
it damaged by the rains in September
The health of the community is very
good. Some little building is being
done along the bayou. but nothing COM
pared with former years. "Crops short
aud times bard,n is the cry.
Capt. A. NJ. Haas returned home a
few days past, from Waukeslla, Wis,
where he spent some months for his
health. The Capt, looks much improv-
ed and the picture of good health once

cling agent and correspondent of the

days past, and took down the sdots''

Sinking the Payment of Taxes.

In an editorial upon the validity
Of the Tax Laws" tue States shows the
absurdity of tax payers seeking to evade
their responsibilities BY refusal to
pay their taxes, aud trying to evoke
the law to sustain them in palpable
violation of their duty to the State.
It quotes Judge Blake in a late decision
as saying:
at is source of regret that instead
of the citizen performing the duty i'm"
posed On him by law, it often happens
that he becomes oblivious of his re-
sponsibility aud liability as taxpayer,
and holds aloof to avail himself of all
imaginable technicalities to avoid the
payment of taxes, and by that means
throwing the burden of supporting the
government on his more patriotic and
willing neighbor.
Taxation is intended to be uniform
and it's burdens to rest on all citizens
alike, and the policy of the law favors
the speedy collection of the States rev.
enues, and the means to this end are
being constantly simplified
This case presents an instance which
is by no means infrequent, of property
not having for years contributed its
share of the alimony due the govern
ment, and where resort is made to the
law to evade its just contribution.
While the law will lend its protection
to property when improperly proceeded
against, its strict enforcement should be
exacted when all its provisions have
been complied with
In this case we cannot, from the evil
dence before us, hold otherwise than
that the property has been assessed i'll
the name of its owner, and that the de-
scription given by the boundaries of the
proprietors- on either side is valid de-
scriptiou and sufficient to identify the
property. 1t is shown that the owner,
The boundaries and location are such as
to leave no doubt as to the property in
tended, and none of which have ever
been called in question by plaintiff at
ter the rolls were filed and subject to
rectihcation and correction. 1t is
shown that this property was in the
first place forfeited to the State, and NC
issue raised as to the proceedings to its
forfeiture at the time"
The States says when commenting on
the above decision:
sit will be seen that the court holds
tina, such trihing objections to the pro-
ceediDgs as made by the property owner
will not be entertained. !, The fact il
patent that he owes the takes !; that he
does not pay them, and that his suit L
simply to avoid their payment. The
law, however, will not permit him, and
he must either pay or have his property
