There are large number of persons,
who, through ignorance of the law, ne
glect to pay their taxes until compelled
by the officers, at heavy additional costs.
The taxes are now due and the officers
will be compelled to levy upon property
and collect by distraint unless soon paid.
Let every tax payer avoid that annoy
ance by Immediately calling at the
Treasurer's office and squaring accounts.
The following extract from Section 80,
of the Tax Law OF Montana. explains the
case.


If any one neglect to pay his tax before the
fifteenth day of September following the levy
of the tax, the Treasurer is directed to make
the same by distress and sale of his personal
property. except such as is exempt from tax
alton, and the list alone shall be sufficient
warrant for such distress.

FROM the New 1Ork W. ORD.


The humOrs of reconstruction are iu-
finite. Beginning as awful tragedy the
play is getting to be quite comic and bids
fair to close in 8 screaming farce. Latest
intelligence is that the forthcoming con-
ventioDs IN the South are to be run on a
credit. Some Of our Georgia exchanges
have the distinct Statement that there fs
d secret order abroad advising delegates
elect to provide for their own expenses
with the intimatiOn that Congress will
reimburse them, and we are inclined to
believe the information correct. Up to
the assembling of a convention the re-
construction act provides that all ex-
penses are TO be met by the General
Government. After that the State is 10
foot the bill, and it is made prime duty
Of the convention TO impose a tax for
that purpose. Even If imposed, how
ever, such tax could not be collected in
time to meet the expenses Of the conven-
ton, and as the law fOrbids any use Of
the Congressional appropriation in this
way, it is evident that, unless the
Radical leaders come forward, these
conventions stand a very fair chance
Of falling through. The blacks have
been plucked so bare that there
is no begging from them, while
as to borrowing, the credit Of these
bodies is just one hundred and one per
cent. below par. African bonds are not
quotsble in Wall street, and We fancy,

gates will have to psrch their own goo

ing" a large proportion Of these august
misrepresentatives being negro field
hands, these requirements may not
weigh heavily upon them, but 1t is
doubtful whether their white colleagues
will accept the situation with entire
equanimity. Any attempt 10 collect s
tax imposed by these gentry could be
successfully resisted, since, as will be re-
membered, the main reason why the
Mississippi bill of injunction was dis
allowed, was that no actual and imme-
diRte material damage could be alleged
and proven. To tax man is to take
money out Of his pocket, aud we fancy
this is a sufficient enough damage - on
which to base an application for iDju0c-
ton that the courts would be bound, eE
necessitGte, to grant.


That the point will be made the RRdi-
Gals may rest assured, and in view of
this and divers other difficulties that
loom up to hedge in this mOnstrOus ini-
guilty Of reconstruction, we suggest that

The Richmond Whig defends the action of
recent meeting at Charlottesville, in an
article of which the following is an extract;


What is the Republican party? 1t repre-
sents and wields the whole power OF the
Government. 1t is, to all intents and pur-
poses, the Government. To oppose it is to
oppose the Government. There is no other
party deserving the name in the United
States. There is a feeble faction called the
Democratic party, that cares for itself and
nothing else. This moment it would rejoice
to see the South further crushed and lacer


ated, if thereby it could prevail against the
Republican party. There are still persons
who talk about its fidelity to the South, when
every one who knows anything knows that
it has rendered the South no other service
than hypocritical lip service. 1t melted us

then gave its money and its fighting force to
the armies of invasion. It's boast has been

would not have been subjugated. These are
cur friends for whom we are to sacrifice
everything, and TO conciliate whose good
opinion we are to hurl ourselves against tn /,
Republican party, the Government, the
Union. Not so, say we. We have nothing
either to hope or to fear from the Democracy
of the North. On the contrary, we have
everything to fear from continued war upon

is in its favor. 1t dominates over the whole
North, it rules every department of the
Government, it has the army and the navy,
and is marked by every trait that defines
supremacy. How is it at the South ? 1t has
all the colored population, all the original
Union men, and is hourly gaining conces
sions from the Confederate ranks. The
instinct of self fpreservation is impellng the
Southern masses to that "co operation
which our neighbor so detests. The fact is
that the people have at last become convinced
that they will be utterly ruined without
reconstruction, and have resolved to do every
thing that is necessary to that end. They
want peace and re2ose they want clear
field for industry and enterprise; they want
the protection of their Government, and, as
necessary thereto, participation in it.
