A PROTEST.

A PROTEST..
Whereas the police jury Of
Grant parish, at its January ses-
sion passed and promulgated an
ordinance levying a per. cnpita
tax of $1.00 for the maintenance
of the public roads of the, parish
upon every male resident of the
parish between the ages of Is
and IS years; and whereas we
are already paying a road tax;
therefore pc it
Resolved by the undersigned
citizens, That we deem said or
dinance unwise and undemocratic
and unconstitutional for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First-It is the right of the
citizens themselves to say what
taxes they will pay for all local
improvements. If the present
revenues are not sufficient, let
an election be ordered to vote a
tax sufficient to meet the needs
Of the roads.
Second-We think the method
of collecting said tax open to
criticism, as it opens the way for
graft, since it is to be collected
by constables from all male resi-
dents who have been in the par
ish ten days. The constables
collect on demand from all whom
they meet, regardless of the as
SCISSORS rolls. There is no way
of knowing how much the con-
stables collect, except their own
statement.
Third-Said ordinance impos-
es a poll tax upon minors, which
no State in the Union has ever
presumed to do. Such an act is
unconstitutional for this reason
alone.
Fourth-In assuming authori-
ty to declare the failure to pay
said tax misdemeanor and fix
ing penalty of Imprisonment is a
plain violation of the United
States Constitution, which for
bids Imprisonment for debt. The
State levies a poll tax of one dol
lar, but never imprisons the de-
linquent tax payer, simply be-
cause that would be in violation
of the United States Constitution.
Be it further resolved, That
we absolutely refuse to pay said
tax.

MAKE 1T A GALA AFFAIR.
Upon the hills near the battle field
1000 spectators were sitting. 1t was
to be a gala event, this slaughter of
the Americans. There were women
among the spectators.
Doniphan's men were advancing
steadily upon the Mexican position. A
cavalry charge of three companies was
planned. Capt. John w. Reid, of Sa-
line county, was leading one of these
companies. With part of his company
he had spurred out little ahead of the
others, and, not understanding the adj
jutant's order to wait until all three
companies could charge, Reid rose in
his stirrups when his men. caught by a
cross fire, hesitated a moment, and
waved his sword
"Will my men follow me?" he shout
ed.
They did. The little force of 25
charged up the hill and took the Mexi-
can battery But there were too few
of them to hold it. They were beaten
back. Reds horse was shot under
him. A private, James Reid, leaped
from his own mount and offered it to
the captain.
BY this time the rest of Reds COM
pany came up and the artillery with
them. A volley of grape and canister
drove the Mexicans back. Parsons and
Hudson, the other captains, crossed the
entrenchment to Reid's left and sue
cessfully held their positions. The
Mexican general, Heredia, made vain
attempts to rally his fleeing men, but
it was no use. The battle of Sacra-
mento was won and the rest was mere
| ly pursuit of the Mexicans by the
Missourians. So effectually was the
Mexican army scattered that it was
never rallied again. Eight hundred
Mexicans were killed and wounded.
Doniphan lost one killed, IL wounded.
Doniphan's men, marched on to Chi
huahua. Though they had much hard
marching to do. their actual fighting
practically ended at Sacramento. Don
iphan found when he reached Chihua-
hua that another American leader, Gen.
Wool, was beseiged in the town of Sal
tillo. He marched 700 miles through
hostile country to his relief. And then
they returned home. In Is months
Doniphan's men had marched $500
miles and given the residents of North
ern Mexico new idea of what war
was like. Had these same Mexicans
ever heard Gen. Sherman's dictum--
they could not have, very well, as it
wasn't delivered till 20 years later-but
if they had, there is no doubt they
would have agreed with him. Col.
Doniphan lived 40 years after his expi-
dition ended. He died in Richmond,
Mo-. Aug. 8. 1887.

nons-four Founders and two ~
Founders came, and the Doniphan men
marched out through the rough, stern
country which lies between Ell Paso and
Chihuahua If you have ever travelled
it in recent years you can see from the
car windows how barren and desolate a
land it is. The superb effrontery of
Doniphan in entering it with less than
!, 200 men to capture Chihuahua, a city
of $4,000 that lay hundreds of miles to
the southwest, is marvellous. r
At the Pass of Sacramento a strong
Mexican army was drawn up in what
ought to have been an almost impreg-
nable position. There were 4, 220 Mexi-
cans, and so sure were they of victory
that they had caused their blacksmiths
to make handouts for the Americans,
whom they expected to take south with
them as prisoners. A Mexican general
with 1000 cavalry-more men than Do
niphan's entire expedition-came down
from the nights to open the battle.
The Americans came straight on.
They too were confident of victory.
AZ they had marched along the day be-
fore an eagle had followed them all day,
now soaring high above the marching
men, now swooping down among the
fiuttering banners. A good omen, the
Missourians thought the bird of VIC
