This tax of Sl9, 2S6 GO, fails Unfortunately on
the an-renters and those citizens who have turn
ed out to aid the sheriff in maintaining the suprema-
cy OF the laws. Thu latter class might, with great
Justice insist that he landlords should be made taxa
bic in the town and county, to the extent of their
rents and thus bear their full share of assessments
incurred in enforcing the collection of their rents,
and maintaining the laws against those who resist
them
If the good people Of Columbia Co. had been after
forking out that $4,000, when they refused to con-
Wet Big Thunder last spring, they would have been
too much occupied with the serious reality of the
business to split hairs about his Identity and in
vove themselves in boundaries to the pattern of
the printed calico dresses worn by the prisoner in
the commission of his FRANKS. So long, however,
as the State is generous, ures afford to be
scientiously scrupulous, and counties benefcently
liberal enough to let offenders out on straw BAIL or
go scot free.
II remains to be seen how these men will conduct
| themselves, now that they are restored to liberty
They have, clearly appeared in the course of the
| Investigations in Hudson city, great influence with
| the masses of ignorant and violent ruscs who COM
posed the Indian forces, whose future behavior will
not unreasonably be more or less attributed to the
counsels ofther chiefs Ifthey their violence
they certainly will increase the chance of condiqn
punishment being inflicted on the leaders, sooner
later; but if they return to their orderly habits
past misdeeds may be forgotten. The landlords, al
though far from deserving it, have come off better
than any others concerned. They ought to be made
pay the half Of the expenses, which would lessen
their dignity little, and make them forego some Of
the vexatious claims they rgidly exact from their
tenantry.

The ANTI-R BAILED Our Big Thunder
and his associates have had the good fortune to
gain their liberty more, by giving bail for their
appearance, when called upon TO answer to the in
dctments which still are pending against them
We suspect they will not be called upon in hurry
take their trial; the last by no means salts
factory encouraging the authorities and for all
the good that done, it would have done the
State some service TO have let it alone. The ex-
psnses incurred in these prosecutions enormous
ly large and were the whole of it chargeabe on the
dsaiiected counties, It would put the farmers in a
humor far less lntractaae than they were during the
late trial Of Big Thunder, who had need to look
sharp if he comes up for trial again.

advanced from the State Treasury, account of
expenses incurred in the several counties named be-

REORGANIZATION OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
The heroic conduct and unremitting efforts of our
gallant tremen during the late terrible confagration,
are the theme Of universal remark and admiration.
And very deservedly. The fremen Of New York,
body, truly exempar to those Of all other
American cities. But still, with greater force than
ever the truth is forced upon us, that we should
have complete reorganization of the fire depart
ment The firemen should be all selected, appoint
ed and paid by the Corporation-larger and more
powerful engines should supercede those now in use
and be drawn by horses. With properly organized
fire department-an efficient police force constantly
on duty, patrolling their several "beats''-and the
immense supply of water in our hydrants New
York should be rendered, humanity speaking, al
most entirely secure against such another terrible
visitation All the cities Of the Union, should at
once set about this work Of organizing their fire
departments. Which of ourAdermen will be the first
to move in this matter of such vast importance

"STlLL HARPING ON My DAUGHTER."-The
Union publishes expurgated letter from Of its
correspondents, lauding Mr.. Polk to the skies, and
dealing out some funny twadde about the eternal
succession" and in note explanatory, apologize,
and annunciatory Mr. Richie says that he "protests
against the use of MIR. Folks name" in connection
with the succession This protestation is, however,
made in manner that is somewhat significant
The impression is left that ''the time has not yet
come"-that the proestaton refers only to the sup
posed improperly of putting Mr.. Folks name for
ward no,c. What is the use of all this reiterated
protesration about Mr.. Polk not being candidate
for reelection Is it really sincere, or islt like
the confession ofthe old lady who went to the min
lister and exclaimed piteously-'Ima great sinner
oh I'm great sinner!' "Wel, indeed, my poor
woman, you are" said the holy man. "You lie,
ant," was the instant response Of the heartbroken
penitent Verify all this fuss, and talk, and denial,
and protestaton has meaning.

FIRE lNvEsTIeAroN.-Th select committee, APP
pointed by the Board OF Common Council, to in
qre into the particulars in connection with the late
disastrous fire in this city, commenced their abors
last evening. The committee, acting on the advice
OF several influential citizens, have deemed it adj
visable TO hold the investigation with closed doors,
lest the publication of the proceedings might, in any
way, prejudice the ends of justice. They according
y minated their intention to the reporters who
were in attendance, requesting they would use their
influence to procure the attendance OF as many wit
nesses as possible, who may be able to throw any
light on the matter. The committee will report the
proceedings in full at a meeting Of the Beard, as
early as possible, and will continue its sittings until
the investigation is finally closed. Every person
having any information to communicate this
melancholy subject, should not hesitate to do SO
promptly and cheerfully. The interests of the cit-
zens in general demand the most rigid and search
ing scrutiny in this investigation, and we have every
reason to believe that the active committee will dis
charge their duties with zeal and efficiency.
