ANOTHER CASE.

The Sub Treasury system has long been ndop-
ted in Austria. Mr.. J. Randolph Clay, Secretary
of Legation ut Vienna, thus writes of the opera
lions Of the Sub Treasury system, in The Hunga-
rian portion oil the Austrian dominions. See
public documents published at the present session
of Congress.l
"ln Hungary there is peculiar system of tax
atior.. Ia military contribution for the troops :

"The inhabitants Of Hungary are the descend
ants of three races avonians, hlagyare, or Hum
garians proper, and Germans. The population is
divided into five classes viz Clergy, High Mobiles,
Petty Mobiles, Inhabitants OF Towns, and Peas
ants. Among the great privileges enjoyed by the
mobiles and clergy, is that of exemption from all
taxes The peasants farmers on the contrary,
are not only deprived Of all cird ghis, but besides
the onerous service they are obliged TO render 10
their lords such MS to labor l04 out of 365 days,
aud to pay TO the lord the 9th pat of the whole
produce of the land they pay tlhes TO The clergy,
and bear together with the inhabitants OF the
