IL There was proposition before the late
Legislature to tax churches grave yards, charities
institutions of learning, and other private estab-
lshments of benevolent and liberalizing charac-
ter. The church teaches lessons fvirtue, as well
as of piety, and keeps the tone of public morality
in healthy condition. Its abours, therefore, tend
to restrain the growth of vice and crime and pow
erty and to save from taxation. The grave
yard yields no revenues and to estimate it as tax
able property is to contemplate the removal oft
dead, and the conversion of the ground where
they repose into an article of trade and merchan-
disc. Private charities are substitutes for poblc
duties, and those who maintain them pay addition
al, though voluntary contributions for the general
good. To tax these, is to tax voluntary taxation,
and to abridge the benefits they confer on society.
The other establishments tend to promote order,
industry, general intelligence, and elevation of
mind, which contribute not only to save public ex-
penSe but to create the sources of public revenue.
To do anything to restrain their growth and in
crease which taxation will do, is to kill the goose
that lays the golden egg Instead of Imposing bur
dens upon the religion the virtues, the charities
and liberalties of men, it would be wiser and more
creditable to lay the restraint of taxation at the
root of evil. 1t has been alleged, without any
effort being made to contradict or refute the
allegat ion, that the county of Philadelphia pays
mere than 100000 dollars in taxes yearly, in sup
port of taverns and grog shops. If this expense
was removed hv tax uDon IFS authOr sufficient tO
meet it, or by removing its cause the virtues ofsoc
y might be tolerated without taxation 1t is strange
that in an enlightened community, it is contem-
plated to encourage and support the prolific foun-
tain of enormous evils, by imposing burdens upon
religion, charity and iberality.-Pubiic ledger

Advertising of letters.

The circular instructions which have Just been
issued by the Postmaster General, explanatory OF
the fifth section of the new Postage Law, relative
to advertising the list of uncaled for letters, direct
that when the gross receipts of the p Office do not
reach more than $500 per quarter, the postmaster
is to advertise the uncalled for list once in six
weeks only. The advertisement is to be inserted
in one news paper only, and that the paper having
the largest single circulation within the range of
the delivery of the Post Office where it is printed
The price of advertising is fixed at one cent for
each letter for insertion. Refused letters boxe-
ters free letters and letters which expected to be
called for soon, are not to be advertised When
there it dispute to the circulation of newspapers
claiming the advertising, the postmaster is to re-
ceve evidence and decide upon the fact his decis-
ion is to remain good for one year.

Hamilton Fish.

We find the following admission of the entire
worthiness of the Wing Senator elect from New
York for the high honor to which the Wing par
ty have raised him, in the columns of the Albany
Register:
"We are enabled to state, upon the most rilia-
BILE authority, that Gov FISH, since his election to
the Senate, has written letter in which he saws
in substance that he shall exert himself in that
post 'to give faithful and cordial support to the
Administration, at whose head he is pleased to re-
cognise personal friend as well as distinguish
ed leader of the political party in his own State
in whose ranks he has ever labored zealously."

The Crowned Skeleton.

! Ax-la-Chapelle, in Germany, derived its name
from the tomb of Chalemagne' He gave instruc-
tions that when he died he should be buried in a
royal position--not PROSTATE as slumbering dust,
but in the attitude of ruling monarch He had
the mausoem erected after the model of the chap
ell which had been reared over the sepulcher of our
Savior at Jerusalem. In tomb within this chap
el he was placed upon throne. The gospels which
suppose he had often read whilst he was living,
he would appear to study thoroughly after he was
dead. He directed they should be laid on his knees
before him; by his side was his sword-his cele-
brated sword-upon his head was an imperial crown
and royal mantle covered his imperil shoulders
Thus was his body placed, and thus did dis body
remain for about one hundred and eighty years
One of his successors resolved he would see how
Chalemagne looked, and what had become of the
riches that adorned his tomb Nearly thousand
years after Christ, his tomb was opened by the En-
reror Ohio The skeleton form of the body was
found there, dissolved and dismenbered the yari-
Gus ornaments that sseak of where all there too
out the frame had sunk into fragments, the bones
hae fallen disjointed and asundcr and there remain
ed nothing but the ghastly skull wearing its crown
still and nothing to signify royalty but this vain
pageant of death in its hideous form.
The various relics were taken IN and are now
preserved at Viena and they have often since
been employed in the coronation of the Emperors
of Germany, in order to signify their greatness
and their being successors of Charlmagne.

Look 0ut For Ii.

An admirable executed counterfeit bill, of the
denomination of FIVE dollars, on the Bank of Mid
dletown-a reissue of the Relief notes-has just
made its appearance, and is described follows
The general appearance of the bill, when compar-
ed with genuine note of the bank, would proba-
bly, detect its spurious character. The signature
and the figures composing the number are in a
heavier hand and in blacker ink than the genuine
The faint lining in the medallion head on the right
end of the bill, is up and down the face, while on
the counterfeitit is nearly across the face. More
certain marks of detection, however, with those
who may hot have a genuine bill at hand, to COM
pare with may be found in the word five" in the
bottom lining of the bill In the genuine it APP
pears twenty-seven tmes-in the counterfeit only
twenty-six times and in the imprint of the genu-
inc, "Danforth, Underwood, e. Co"-there is a

Great Union Meeting at Mobile, Ala

Norfolk, April l9.-On the 18th inst there was
gathering of the Union men of Mobile, which is
represented to have been the largest and most en-
thusiastic convention of the people ever held in
that city. The resolutions go strong for the Un-
ion, and even repudiated dissolution as last re-
sort They declare that no grievance could war
rant such rupture. The last resolution sets forth
that 1t is the deliberate opinion ofthe meeting that
on the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave
Law depends the preservation of our much-loved
confederacy. They resolved to support no man
for the Presidency who was not for the Union,
first, last, and all the time.
