So Taxes for Grant’s Bayonet Usur
pation in Louisiana.
The wise decision of the legal State
government of Louisiana not to
come in conflict with the Federal
army, leaves that oppressed common
wealth but one means of successfully
resisting the Kellogg usurpation,
namely, by a united refusal to pay
the taxes levied for its support. This
is a justifiable method of opposition,
and, if the. people arc sufficiently
united, it will prove effectual.
Withholding money supplies is not
a new method of confronting tyranny.
It is sanctioned by all the early
strggles of the English people in de
fense of their liberties. The i>ower
of the people, through their repre
sentatives, to grant or withhold sup
plies, has been regarded, for more
than two centuries, the bulwark of
British freedom; and this principle
lias been incorporated into our Con
stitution by the provision which re
quires all hills for raising revenue to
originate in the lower house, and the
provision forhiddiug the appropria
tions for supporting the army for a
longer period than two years—two
years being the duration of the terms
°t the immediate representatives of
the people. The people of Louisana
Mill be acting in the spirit of this
time-honored safe guard against op
pression, if they steadily refuse to
P a y taxes for the support of the
usurping Kellogg government. The
illustrious Hampden, a name scarce
ly less revered than that of our own
H ashington, earned the gratitude of
Ills country by his refusal to pay an
illegal tax. And resistance to un
warranted taxation was the very es
sence of the revolution by which
Washington and his compatriots
Sained our independence.
In refusing to pay taxes to the
government, the citizens of Louisia
na will have the law clearly on their
side. The Republican Committee of
Ihe United States Senate has declar
ed, after lull investigation, that the
Kellogg government was nev*”’ le
gally, elected. It Is a necessary con
sequence that all its acts are void
It has no more right to levy a tax
than a State Conference of the Afri
can Methodist Episcal Church would
have. Refusal to pay taxes for the
support of the Kellogg usurpation
will be no resistance to latr, but only
refusal to recognize a spurious au
thority. Nor can Gen. Grant inter
vene with Federal troops to force
the payment of taxes. The people
of Louisiana may in a few months
starve out the Kellogg government
or force it to surrender, as a garri
son jfi a fortified town which cannot
be carried by storm may be brought
to terms by intercepting its supplies.
The usurpers cannot get over the
difficulties by borrowing; for capital
is cautious, and no man will risk his
money in Louisiana bonds issued by
a government which the most emi
nent lawyers in the United States
Senate concur in declaring illegal,
when their party bias Would Incline
them the other way. The Kellogg
usurpation cannot live by borrowing
from capitalists, but only by taxing
the peopie; and if the people unite
in a resolute refusal to pay taxes,
the train will have to stop on the
track because there will be no ftiel
for the locomotive.
It may be asked why a bogus gov
ernment with the Federal army to
back it, cannot collect the taxes by
distraint and sale of property, as
taxes are collected elsewhere when
people arc slack or contumacious.—
The reason can be made perfectly
intelligible. Ordinarily, the non
payers of taxes form but an insignif
icant fraction of the community.
Their cases arc attended to last; and
citizens who have already paid give
their moral support to the tax-gath
erers from the interest they have in
seeing the public burdens equitably
distributed. And then the amount
of property sold for taxes is small
enough to And purchasers. But if
the people of Louisiana come to an
understanding with one another that
Federal troops cannot lielp the usiir-
pers because they cannot furnish
nations designed to benefit himself, al
beit he assumes they are for others
well.
You remember that Fisk, in his ex
animation at Washington, said he knew
Gould was befit oti mischief when he
tore up pieces of paper. This habit
Gould still keeps. He shows his __
vousness and anxiety in no other way.
Whenever he is seen walking in Wall
street and scattering fragments of let
ters or dispatches, the brokers say, : ‘The
little joker’s up to something; look out
for him!” And, sure enough, he is al
ways heard from soon after. He now
considers himself the leader of the street,
and he is prepared to hold his position
at much cost Some persons think him
one of the longest-headed operators the
Exchange has known : others declare he
has merely been lueky, and that he will
soon be ‘ cleaned out” by those he fan
cies himself superior to. Time will de
termine the stuff of which Gould is com
posed. If he were*prudent, he could
withdraw from active life with his $25,-
000,000, while he has them. But that
is not the way of Wall street. Its ex
citement having become familiar, must
be kept up. All other places and modes
of existence, compared to it, appear in-
ate and insipid.

buyers for the property seized and
offered for sale by the tax collcetors.
There are several reasons why
property cannot be sold in Louisiana
for taxes. In the first place, buyers
know that the spurious government
couhi not give a good title, and men
would be as shy of such property as
of bonds offered by the same illegal
government. In the next place, the
deep sense of injustice which per
vades the State and leads men to
unite in tills method of opposition,
would prevent their bidding on the
property of their fellow-citizens. In
the third place, the market would be
so overstocked and glutted by the
greater part of the property of the
State being put up at auction at one
time, that the few supporters of the
Kellogg government would be una
ble to furnish enough purchase mon
ey to paj the taxes on the property.
Most of Kellogg’s supporters are ne
groes who live from hand to mouth,
and who can neither pay taxes
themselves nor advance money on
the taxable property of others. If,
therefore, there is sufficient concert
among the owners of property, the
citizens of Louisiana will have no
difficulty in starving the* Kellogg
into a surrender.—N. Y. World.
The Erie Jobber.
A New York letter to the St. Louis
Globe says:
Jay Gould, notwithstanding the $9,-
000,000 he surrendered to Erie (be
cause he couldn’t help it), is believed
to-day to be worth not far from $25,-
000,000. He may loose most of this
next month or next week by some of
his vast ventures, or he may gain as
much more. It is rumored that' he
wants to secure $50,000,000, and then
retire, as that is about the sum Corneli
us Vanderbilt, Alexander T. . Stewart
and William B, Astor are individually
worth. If he should gain his half a
hundred of millions, his mercenary de
vices would only increase. It is always
so; the passion for money can never be
gratified.
Gould is reputed to he of Hebrew
descent (his extreme shrewdness and
monetary management would indicate
this); hut whether he is or not he is an
extraordinary financier, prolific in expe
dients, and of singular courage in exe
cuting hi^emes. He is not at all

by the time fixed for the great Centen

known ; but it is proposed to open at
the same time, if possible, and to run a
very serious opposition to the Philadel
phia glorification. The building to be

will be concentrated a perpetual World’s

A New Specific for Small-Pox.
The New York Sun says the small
pox afflicted communities will be pleased
to learn that certain families in Hunts
ville, Alabama, during the prevalence of
small-pox there found the tea of cimi-
cifuga recemosa or black snake root,
otherwise known as black pohosh, to be
an efficient preventive of small pox,
though some were exposed to the disease.
Dr. Norris vaccinated the members, but
without effect so long as they continued
to use the black snake root tea. .After
ceasing to use the tea he again vaccina
ted them, when the specific effect of the
vaccine virus was produced. The sub
ject is well worthy the attention of the
medical profession.
Trilling off Superfluous People
A strange scheme has been broached
in an English review, for removing out
of the world superfluous persons, who,
by reason of mental or physical incapac
ity, are of no use to society. This seems
to be an outgrowth of Darwin’s doctrine*
of the “Survival of the Fittest;” and
it now denies the right of anybody to
live who is not “fit” for some of “the
uses of the world.” It ignores human
ity, gratitude and affection, which
prompt us to cherish the old and iufirm
with a tender care or account of their
helplessness. They should, according
to this scheme, be all put to death in an
easy way. There is this reservation—
that the consent of the sufferer shall be
obtained if there is enough mental abil
ity to consider the question. But if
imbecility or derangement of mind in
capacitates the patient from deciding
the question, a board is to consider his
caMigive notice to his relatives, and
