The shortness of the time allowed for the COL

grievance, as is clearly set forth in the following
petition from the Collector Of the Third Ward to
our Common Council:
TO the Honorable the Board Of Supervisors Of the City and
County Of Ner-York
The Undersigned respectfully asks the pospouemen OF
the collection Of the cent to be added to the Taxes
of the Third ard tire first day of January las required
by the act OF the last Legature to the first day OF Feb
ruary to take such other course your Honorable
Body may think advisable on the subject.
The Tax Payers will scarcely have received their Bills
for Taxes before the first day of January which day
per i'll be added. Under such circumstances ap-
pears To be unjust to collect it upon short notice
And further the law the subject can be construed III
several diterea ways at least, so II appears 10 me-
further for my citng your Honorable Bodys
interference that the several Collectors compelled
attend The Comptroles Office from the time that your
Honorable Body confirmed the Taxes the 10th day OF
December, which day The Collectors received their
books which left bot fifteen days to make ont their bi and
serve them upon The Taxpayers.
After your Honorable Body have maturely considered

WM. G. BorcH.'
Our readers, by comparing this with the alleged
extract published in The Tribune on The Sd of No
veuber, viii perceive that the extract was not a
literal and in many respects net transcript
1t appears to have been made from memory after
has:y reading. We think, however, that the
essential charge against Gov Bouck-to wit, that
of conceaing his opinions with regard to the con-
struction of the Southern Railroad, and putting
secret mssives in the hands of his partisans where
with to mislesd the public mind in regard to them
lis fully borne cut by this letter, as now published
by him. We think his admitted expression that
he did mot ike TO appear in the newspapers :"
confirms this. We think he was by no means JUS
tilted in pronouncing the published extract "a for
gerry from beginning to end We think we were
fully justified, by the evasion and double-desling
which characterized the of his party and
himself, in publishing The alleged extract, uRdoubt
eddy believing it literal as well us genuine. But
the whole matter is before the public, and we
are content to abide its decision.

% Yesterday being Sunday the usual merri-
ments of the day were postponed, we suppose,
until to-day. The Episcopal churches were gener-
ally tastefully decorated with evergreens, and the
Discources from the Pulpits had reference mostly
to the sublime event celebrated usually that day.
The Presbyterian and Congregational churches we
believe take less note Of Christmas Day than the
churches above named, arising, probably, from the
fact of the Pilgrim Puritans having discarded the
holidays of the Church of England. To the Pill
grim Fathers, however, We are indebted for
Thank. giving, which, with single exception per-
haps, has never yet heen the subject of civil pro-
camation south Of the Potomac.
The Sunday School attached to the Methodist
Episcopal church in John street. celebrated their
Anniversary in the afternoon by very interesting and
appropriate exercises. GABRIEL T. DIsoswAY,
E.e., delivered an address, which was listened TO
with intense interest He stated that The first
regular Sunday School established in America was
organized BY Bishop Asbury, in the year 1886, in
Hanover, Virginia, and that Eve years afterwards,
Doctor Rush and Bishop White of Philadelphia,
called public attention to the subject, and essab-
lished schools in that city. Mr.. Disosway then
proceeded to show that Sunday Schools, whether
considered in religious or political view, are
equally entitled to the favorable consideration of
all good citizens. He stated that out of I50, 900
children who received instruction at the HiberD!an
Society School, not one of them had ever been
convicted of crime, and that of all the convicts
Botany Bay, one only had ever been a Sunday
School scholar. He gave other interesting stats.
tics in father illustration of the sane general fact,
and then proceeded to give examples Of the good
effects of Sunday School training in particular
cases. We think the entire address ought to find
place in the columns of some of the Sunday
School journals.
STEAMBOAT DlsAsrERs.-The iron steamer VAL
ley Forge was sunk few days since at the Grave
Yard, on the Mississippi. She was built at Pitts
burgh in 1889, at an expense of $50 900. The ST.
Louis papers also announce The loss of the Loyal
Hanna. She was stove in by the ice near the
mouth OF the Illinois. On the 3O;h ult. the
STEAMBOATS, New-Br2zl and Rock Islander were
crushed by the ice, and sunk near Davenport,
Iowa. The steamboat Bowling Green struck a
rock in the Missouri, near the mouth Of the Usage
River, and sunk in feet of water.

KILLED BY FIRE ENeINE.-Yesterduy after
noon an alarm of fire was made and the direction
was up town. Engine company No. 36, while be-
ry propelled up Sprng-street, ran over lad about
IA years of age, named Theodore Mackey, whose
family reside at Ne. 300 yarick-street. He was
taken up, and while being conveyed to the City
Hospital died. He was engaged in dragging the
engine when he fell.

% The Last Card of Van Burenism is an
effort to induce Gen. JACKSON TO attend and pre-
side over the proposed Leco-Foco National Con-
vention, which is TO nominate Mr.. V. B. for next
President, and whistle down Messrs. Calhoun
Cass, Johnson, Buchanan, Sc. This is good
thought; but the advanced age and extreme de-
bility of Gen ]. viii probably defeat its execution
The old General would hardly live through the
fatigue and excitement of carrying out this plan
especially if the Convention should be held in or
near the winter.
U7Hon. WILLIAM H. HAYWOOD of Raleigh, the
newly-e elected U. S. Senator from North Carolina,
elected by compromise between the Calhoun and
Van Buren, parties, is one of the ablest young men
in the State-a decided bat net violent Loco-Foco,
aud personally unexceptionable He takes his
at the next meeting of Congress, and holds it
for six years. We predict for him distinguished
career.
From TgxAs.-Galveston dates to the 9Th inst.
have been received at New-Orleans. There IS lit
tie news, however. Congress was in session ut
Washington. The Message Of President Houston
gave general dissatisfaction. Of the Mexican re-
lations it gives good account; its is regard
ed as opposed to any active hosilities agans, Mex
leo. l, says little concerning the Navy, and repre-
ssnts the general condition of the country as de-
p!orabs--i,s resources crippled, its circulation
valaeless, and is credit extinsuishcd. Reports
from the Army are contradictory: some saying that
$50 men, completely organized, are on their way
to the Rio Grande; and others that the troops
fast deserving. The latter is probably true. The
Indians have recently stolen several horses from
the vicinity of Austin Smuggling is carried on to
5 great extent in the port of Galveston.
