HENRY WATKINS ALLEN,
Governu of Louisiana
THE RICH MAN'S COUNTRY.
Thin has got to be emphatically the rich
man's country, where legislation is wholly
in his favor and against the poor man.
Never was a greater piece of rascality com
mitted then bee been done in the case of
the Rends which are now In inert Me x.
are exempt from taxation, and ay a good
lalmsl every six months consequently
we see a grrae demand for them by all who
are able to invest all their funds Id them.
iden are in some cases even selling their
real estate'to put their money in them, and
thus secure not only a good revenue but
avoid all tertian.
The poor van is therefore taxed double.
He has not only to pay his own taxes, but
those which the rich man should pay. He
has not only to support himself, but the
government and the rich man as well.
When the tax gatherer comes round, as
he does often now and stays long—one of the
bitter fruits of Republican administiation—
the rich man returns his iirotty as so
much builds, the tax gatherer w tee down
"exempt," and passes on to the poor man
who has no bonds and so must pay enough
for both.
We do not believe this will last long. It
Is too manifestly and entrageosly unjust to

FORD-4TANTON. •
,A Mr. Ford appears to be the owner of a
theatre in Washington city, wherein Presi
dent Lincoln was assaseittated. being there
upon olosed, Mr. Ford attempts tt to open' it
some days afterward but was foibidden and
prevented. ifs nest Old it for a church,
but the purchasers were unable to fulfil
their engagement, and the property reverted.
Last evening, be tried once more to •
but was peremptorily stint up b an order
from thelVar Depaftment. . Barad says
of Ford's attempt to rcsfatcie his regular7bu
'sines!:
"It was- atrattelept•to ooi the blood of
the great man. People in Washington' as
well as elsewhere felt that that theatre was
a deodand3 that it was virtually, if not in
fact, involved In the' tirinie committed in it,
just as • murderer's weapon, which from
time immemorial has been forfeited to the
law. The War Department forbade the per
formance and olosed the theatre ; and in do
ing so it only acted up to the popular thought
and though we shall on this subject hear
many copperhead howls, the sot will receive
the full approval of the people."
qatti protutme "Mu•-_popular
thought" accords with the above sump,
tion ; but there is at least one journal which
dares defy "popular" impulses when they
ecntravezie law and justice.. ?We had inten
ded to let this matter pass without comment,
with rimy similar vagaries of the War De
partment ; but its plu'mpjustification by the
Herald imposes the duty of emphatic dis
sent.
Under what law, by what right, did Ed
win M. Stanton thus deprive John T. Ford
of the use of hie privateproperty ? It sure
ly, will not be pretended that - an immitient
I overruling public danger dictated thiSeore
tary'eltigh handed course. We have heard
that he apireheitled a riot [U case the 'Cho
i stre were opened—so be arbitrarily closed
it, in pursuance of a policy to which -aboli
tionists of other days were long accustomed
without being reconciled. The police fear
your property will be injured if you use it;
lo—instead of protecting you in okts use—
they forbid and prevent your using it at all!'
It would take a long and severe training to
enlighten us.as to the beauties of.suois le:
gal protection. ,
Mr. Ford, it is said, evinced bad taste or
a deficient sense of propriety, in -undertak
ing to reopen his theatre within three months
after Mr. Lincoln's assassination. Very
likely. But in what clause of the Constitu
tion, what chapter of the Statutes at Large,
do we find the regulations of public or pri
vate taste, the enforcement of a due regaid
for propriety, mate a duly of the Secretary
of Wart If he is to regulate other men's
regard for appearances, fur decorum, '43 is
to regulate—or educate—his 1
We know nothing of Ford nor of his the
atre but what is everywhere current. But
suppose be is in debt, and his creditors want
their pay—suppose his property heavily
mortgaged, and the inktrest eatingdam up—
suppose him to hate a theatrical company,
on his hands and no means of paying them
except from his receipts. His lose by the
suspension of his business for eleven or
twelve weeks, while Washington was full of
idle soldiers just paid off, must already
amount to many thousands df diallers: wile
is to reimburse it? And by what right is
he forcibly deprived of the use of - his prop- I
erty, the means of paying his debts, in obe
dience to others sense of fitness ? Why
should they evince their regard for our late
President's memory at his expense rather
than their own.
'V
We urge these ooneideratioas with na idle
conceit of inflttencing the course of Secre
tary Stanton. That functionary seems in
capable of aomprehendink that our country
has, 6r should, any other law than his own
arbitrary will. But he cannot reruaio
g in
office forever ; and when ha retiree we hope
to have a restoldlion of the privilege of ha
beas corpus and the susremacy of law ) and
then we shall hope for a legal scrutiny of
some of his many ”fantastio tricks" and an
adjudication between them and theimrsonal
rights they have ritthlessly violated. Mean

The General Complain - WI, Mid doubtless
with some truth if not juitioe, that the Gov
ernment had never distinctly explainend to
him what policy it desired to have pursued,
"I asked Mr. Lincoln explicitly, when I
went by to City Point, whether he wanted
Me to capture Jeff. Davie, or let him escape,
and in reply-he told me a story."
rat "story" may now have a historical
value, and I give it, therefore, as General
Sherman said Mr. Lincoln • told it---premi

there was an old tempmeatice lecturer who
was very strict in thedohtrine and practice
of total abstinenoe. One day, 'alter a long
ride in the hot sun, ho stopped at the house
of a friend, who proposed making him a
lemonade. As the beverage was being mix-,
ed, the friend Insinuatingly asked if he
wouldn't like just the least drop of come
thing to brace up his nerves after the ex
hausting heir and exercise. "No," replied
the lecturer; "I couldn't think of it; Pm
opposed to it on principle. But," he ad
ded, with a longing glance at the black bot
tle which stood 'conveniently at band, "if
you could manage to put in a - drop unbe
knownst to me, I guess it wouldn't hurt me

have conch' ,ed, "I'm bound to oppose the

"And that," egclaimed General Sherman,

Back to the days , when I loved you co,
The beautiful long ago.
I sit here dreaselag through wad through!,
The blissful memory shared with Pm--
The sweet, sweet days when outgoes wr new,,

The geautifal day', but tea.
Blest or wretched, fettered wit*
Why 'build I eare-bow youriffe may be,
' Or whether you wander by hind' or sea? ,
I 'only know you are dead
Byer and hopelessly,
Oh, how Ohm nt day's•deeiine, •
Verasited from nit window the entstainingegjuls,
To nee from our lattice the lamplight shls%,
Type of a message that half divine
riaihedi frets your heart to mine.
Once more the starlight is silvering all—
The roses !liken by the garden wall—
The night bird warbles his madrigal—
And hear again through the sweet air fall
The evening bugle call.
But summers will vanish andleare will wane,
And bring no light to your window pans,-
No gracious sunshine nor patient rain,
Can bring dead lore bank to life pin—
I call up the put in vain.
