ANEcDorE.-A Washington correspon-

a visit to the White House, and says the
President did his full share in joking and
telling anecdotes, among which he says he
related an anecdote of an eminent lawyer Of
Pittsburg, which was well told aud will bear
repeating. James Ross was fitted first for
the ministry and being about to preach
his trial sermon, which he had committed
to memory, he went to the woods alone, as
he supposed, for the last rehearsal. Al ven
erablc old patriarch of the church, Father
Mcmillan, suspecting Ross's Intention as
we'll as his piety, followed at a safe distance,
creeping DIP behind the ambitions s youth,
stood secteted behind tree r. IS spread
himself and finally wound up with Amen
There that will just suit old Mcmillan
aud wheeling on bis heel, old Mcmillan
stood before him mo, JAS. Ross said
the old man, ''that does not just suit old
! Mcmillan, nor win you do for a preacher"
Ross reviewed the evidence OF his calling,
and concluded that the law was 'just the
thing for him."

EcoNoMY-It is strange that, when men
are seized with sudden fit of economy,
and begin to curtail their expenses, the
first efforts at retrenchment are very apt
to be damaging to their intelects-that
they retain the snperduites, and dispense
with the essentials. Such false economy
is too PREVALENT Men who say they can
not afford to take their County paper, cheer
fully eXpend three times the sum required
for that purpose, to pander to some deprav-
ed appetite, or some popular mania. SO
our legislators who in a fit of economy;
would suspend the School Liberty Tax, and
dispense with the publication Of the laws,
find plenty Of money for the entertain
ment of the dignitaries of other States
an object upprovlded for in the Consti-
tuition, and of exceedingly doubtful pro-
prcy.

Relief In the Parment OF Naked.

The time for payment of taxes without
penalty viii be out to morrow. After that a
penalty of five per cent. aeerues, and the
taxes on personal property can be put into
the hands of the Sheriff for summary collec-
tiOn by distraint Of property. The rate of
taxation in this city is heavy, and amount Of
personal taxation is very large. We are in
formed that large amount is unpaid at this
time.
The bank, currency which formed the
chief part of the circulation here, has col
lapsed; money is locked up, and there is
actually not the currency to pay the taxes.
Men Whose solvency is undoubted, are dis
tressed for money to- pay their taxes. To
distrain the property of business men is to
sacrifice their property and seriously dam
age their credit The time is an extraordi-
Iary one, and demands extraordinary means
of relief.
In 1857 the Treasurer extended the time
of payment sixty days, without penalty.
This is precedent for the present time, and
the need is as great now as II was then. We
are not aware by what legal warrant the
Treasurer did this at that time, but we sup
pose, Of course, that if the case found nc
legal obstacles then, ii would not now. OuI
citizens are an exceedingly well-taxed COM
munity; and they are entitled to this RELIEF
If it can be granted; and we presume that
our Treasurer will not be backward in doing
what be can to help them over the crisis.

decided that all notes draw but seven per
cent per annum interest after maturity
How this will affect the sale of lands under
foreclosure, that have heretofore taken place,
il uncertain. But it is probable that where
tho price bid for the land exceeded the
amount due on the mortgage, the mortga-
gor has cause Of action against the Sheriff
for the Observation-Disclosures the pur-

THE CITY CHARTER.

we oOserVe movement Is being made for
amending the City Charter, principally to
lessen the extravagant and useless expendi-
ture that has grown up under it. Every
one knows that under the ordinary highway
law that prevails outside of cities, mucl,
more and better work would have been done
upon our streets, than has been done during
the past year, and that with nothing bu,
the poll tax. 1t anything else has beer
accomplished during that time under the
City Charter other than pay bills and lev,
and collect taxes, nobody knows what it is
The city ordinances are generally deemed
Observation-Disclosures unnecessary-and if any
would have been beneficial such as thos,
requiring the planting Of shade trees ant
construction Of side. walks, no attempt hal
been made to enforce them, In short, tn
whole thing is notorious failure, costin:
over three thousand dollars year. Tn,
shortest and best amendment would be /,
do away with it entirely. But there are, s,
many Republican mouths to furnish will
pap, that this probably cannot DO DONE
But there is an evil aside from the expens,
that should be remedied, and that is tn,
strange powers exercised by the City Coun
Gil, and their reckless disregard of the right
Of property. 1t has by vote permitted on
OF its members to occupy Levee street across
which he had constructed a saw mill, so a
to block it up entirely, preventing al
access to the river with teams, from tn
mill to the foot of Barn Bluff: A PROPOSE
ton is also entertained to vacate twent,
feet in front Of each lot on Levee street from
Potter street to Bluff, and grant the land 8,
vacated to the owners of the respective lots
Aside from the evident injustice Of thes,
measures, It is questionable whether the,
have the power to so interfere with tn,
vested rights of others. But to prevent al
questions on this point, the charter shoult
be amended SO as to prohibit such exercis,
Of power. Because City Council may on,
Of these days, relying on these precedents
take it into their heads and hands 10 yot,
themselves all the public property in town
and by blocking up the streets prevent tn,
property holders from all access to thei
lots.
