The TAX LEVY FOR NEXT YEARLY the
estimate of the tax levy for 1882 presented by
the Conn troller to the Board of Councimen on
Monday, it would appear that the taxes for next
year were to be reduced. For example: the levy
for this year was $S,620,92O ~, while that for
1869 appears to be only S7S40,174 %, showing
an apparent reduction Of S7S0,746 Al. But this
decrease would be considerably altered if the
Comptroller had included all the appropriations
in the ordinance; but he ha, eft ito the discre-
ton of the Common Council" to add about a
quarter of a million of appropriations required
by different departments and individuals, which
he does not put down in his document. This
added to the fact that the Common Council did
last year inc; ease the Comptroller return Of
hundred and fifty thousand dollars after il had
been accepted, leaves very little expectation
indeed that we shall see any lon, fde reduction
in the taxes. The Common Council have the
power-and they will not fail to exercise it-of
swelling the expenses Of the city to almost any
amount they please, by authorizing all kinds of
jobs, increasing salaries and so forth. 1t appears
that the branches of the city expenditures which
are represented rs requiring smaller appro-
priation than before are those for the Institution
of the Blind, the Central Park interest, interest
on revenue and assessment bonds, street paving,
and real estate; while those which demand an
increased amount arc: for the Almshouse,
aqueduct repairs, school tax for the State and
city, fire and police telegraph, city rents and the
police force.
The Comptroller's reported tax levy, how
ever, is no criterion whatever Of what the taxes
will really amount to for 1859 That question is
to he decided by the new Common Council, and
if that body administers its portion of the
government economically and honestly, people
will be compelled to admit that the days Of
miracles are not past. But we entertain no idea
that it will improve in any degree upon the
Common Council that retircs on the 3lst of
December.

private convention, supposed to be in the interest
of Mr.. Crittenden for the Presidency, and called
together by one Nathan Sargent, assembled in
the city Of Washington, and talked over the af-
fairs of the nation. The speakers and speeches
of the occasion have not leaked out; but the dig
nificd ard cautious old National Lllgencer assures
us that the gathering was highly respectable
affair of staunch union men from thirteen differ
ent States, and that there was no such notion
among them as the advancement of "the preten-
sions Of any individual TO the Presidential nomi-
nation" We are further assured that "no doubt
was entertained by the meeting that basis Of
union can b.. indicated which will enable the
conservative men Of all parts of the confedcracy
to act together in the contest of 1860" Nor is
this all; for 'it is probable that at future day
more formal and numerous meeting may be as
semlled TO give full and public expression to
their patriotic purposes" All this may be very
satisfactory, but to us it is very mysterious. All
that we can make of it is a movement of the
rump of the Know Nothings for another Fill
more operation against the black republicans,
under new name. But let them hurry up that
meeting. The pot is beginning to boil.

ton to this was made in the first week of this
session Mr.. Morris, of Illinois, and doubtless
Mr.. Douglas himsel is at the bottom of the
scheme. OF course, no idea can be entertained
of the success of any such proposition for some
time to come; but this movement may serve its
purpose in another direction. Mr.. Douglas has
been formally put in back seat in the demo
cratic church; but it is evi emily his purpose to
maintain his position against the administration,
even to the extremity Of setting up little
popular soverei nty" party of his own. Hence
this new scheme for an election Of the Governor,
judges, de-, Of the Territories By the people. 1t
is a fling at the administration, and a wedge in

mocracy, as a sort of Van Buren, balance of

A TERRIBLE ENEMY.

Banker, in his late work on Ceylon,
states that on one occasion he came across
au enormous serpent which lay in his path.
His head was about the size OF very
small cocoa-nut, divided leDgtb~sys, and
this was raised to about eighteen inches
above the coil. His eyes were fixed upon
US, and the forked tongue played in and
out of his mouth with continual hiss
Aiming at hi. head, fred at him with o
double barreled gun, within four PAGES, and
blew his bead to pieces. He appeared stone
dead; but upon pulling bin by the tai to
stretch him out, he wreathed himself into
convulsiye coils, lashing himself out at full
length, moved down the grass in all direc-
tons. This obliged me to stand clear, for
his blows were terrific; the thickest part
of bis body was as thick as mans thigh.
On losing his head, he tore away from
the stakes, and although bis head was
shivered to atoms, and be had lost three
feet Of his neck by the ball having cot
through this part which separated in tearing
off the skin, still he lashed and writhed IN
trightful convulsion, continuing till l lett
him.
