The articles in the New York Tribune on
the Russian war have, in our humble opinion,
evinced intelligence and craftsmanship Of a
high order. 1t has been stated that some of
them we're written by GURowsKI. They
are, for the most part, free from the peculiar
philanthropic cant which distinguishes the
Tribune; and, with the exception of very
decided prejudice against LOUIS NAPOLEON,
are impartial and discriminating.

Taxation in Cincinnati.

In regard to taxation in this citv the re-
port speaks as follows:
Ii is worthy of remark that although the
total taxes levied for the wear 1854, on the
taxable property of Cincinnati, amounted TO
the enormous sum of one and half million
of dollars, hut little more than one-fifth of that
entire sum was levied for State purposes.
including the tar for State Common Schools, a
large proportion of which remains in the city
for its own disbursement. The exact figures
were rs follows:

Balance being taxes levied by city, county,
and other local 81 80 s9 20
The objects for which these taxes-levied
exclusively by local authorities-were in
tende,i,, and the necessity of their imposition,
are questions of direct, if not exclusive, per-
sonal concern TO the community on whose
property they were assessed. Amounting,
as they do, TO nearly eighty per cent (four-
fifths) of the entire tax burthen resting on
The city ct Cincinnati, it is bat wise to keep
in mind the fact that the means Of relief
from this burthen, as well as the authority by
which it was imposed, are almost wholly
within themselves
Owing to the general failure Of the private
bankers, and the refusal of the chartered
hanks to pay the assessment made against
them, the amount of taxes actually collected
in Cincinnati, falls largely below the amount
levied. OF the entire sum assessed for local
purposes, the comparative amount assessed on
the classes Of property named below, were as
