THE PRNURIEs OF PROPERTY.

There are in this world but two products of
human art which are of prime and inexorable ne.
cessiy-bread and buildings SO there must be
ioined the cognate natural needs Of wheat and
lands. Given these, with a little rain-water for
mixing, and few sunbeams for baking, and man
is in any latitude full furnished; and, although
bareheaded and breekless, unshOd and unshirted,
may defy frost or fever, and be warm or cold IN
bis castle as be may wish. But man everywhere,
at the poles and between all zones, must be either
a building or a burrowiDg animal-must have his
house or his hole or bis hoyel. These needs follow
him, and grow importunate apace, from solltudes
to cities, and in New.York are more imperative
than in Patagonia. Feejee Islander without
house is probably less miserable, and less sarcas.
ticalIy lectured by bis fellow-citizens, than an
undomiciled Cockney or Gothamite-a pauper
without "sny last and usual place Of abode"
hunted by the catcbpole through the whole
bailiwick, like the coon, hard to capture, and
fesrfuly hayed when caught. So to say that one is
houseless ia to utter in breath an Iliad Of human
wretchedness-to be 50, is to be sort of Muogo
Park, without the sympathetic songs even OF
savage ladies'. Houselessness is homelessness; Z;
and homelessness is the negatiOn Of natural
tie., the blight Of culture, the distorter of
manners, and the besmircher Of reputation. The
roofess man is prima facie rbffian, without Kin,
ond of no consequence, save IN constaouary eyes;
and if be will but relieve all over-taxed public

but sufficiently commodous where be may abide

Affairs 10 the Common Council took rather
singular turn last evening Both Boards had been
called together in extra session, with the under
standing that the Tax Levy would be submitted in
each, ard that the points of difference between the
two would be anicably adjusted; but it was found
that Conference Committee, instead Of confn-
ing themselves to the Legitimate business for which
such Committees are appointed-the adjustment of
differences between the BOards-hsd taken the re-
sponsibiLty of adding very largely to the taxes aud
stiibps out mSny items which had been voted BY
both Boards, Instead adopting the report the AL
dermen laid it on the table to have it printed and the
Councimen, wbohave cleared off their calender, and
have literally nothing to do being altogether dis
sats6ed both with the doipgs of the Conference
Committee and Of the Aldermen, concluded to ad.
iouIl until re fret Monday 10 March, which is
three weeks from net Monday, leaving the Tax
Levy to 90 TO the Legislature BY the hands Of the
Controller without the interference Of the Com
mon Council in any way. There Is no reason why
the Levy may not be passed without the aid o! the
Common Council and We are assured that II very
probably will be. AS near as We can judge, from
hasty glance at the report of the Conference Com
mittee, the levy foots up about eleven millions;
but there are great many things in it which stand
small chance of passing the Legislature. People
who have been waiting long time for their money
will, no doubt, censuIe the Common Council for
this action, but we are Inclined to the opinion that
in the end the tax payers will be satisfied to deal
directly with the Legislature in making up the an
nual budget.

Four years ago next December, the XXXlVth
Congress convened at Washington. After organ
izipg the frst business in order was the detsrmi-
nation Of the rights Of the competing claimants OF
seats in the House. Foremost among these was
the Kansas case. John W. Whitfield, the Pro
Slavery claimant, had what seemed to be the more
regular certificate, and was prima Jae's admitted
thereon to the .eat. But the House proceeded to
order and prosecute an investigation, the result oi
which LEFT 10 doubt on the mind Of any candid man
who read the testimony that WhitGeld's election
was effected by the grossest fraud-that not one
fifth Of the votes returned for him were cast BY
residents of Kansas-that the real voters had been
systematically driven from the pols by concerted and
overwhelming invasion-and that his pretended
election was an outrage 90 gross and foul that no
man who would hesitate to pass counterfeit money
could with desency uphold it And yet, in the
face Of incontroyertible demonstration Of these
facts, Whitfield was kept in the seat to the end,
allowed the hOnOrs, the pay and Perquisises Of q
