The New PENNY Posr DELIvERY,-To-dsy
will commence the delivery of drop or city
letters by carriers within the Post Office lim-
its. The innovation is made in accordance
with the law passed on the Sd inst; and as tho
charge is to be only one cent on each letter,
we may be said to have taken the first step
towards the establishment of general penny
post delivery which works 80 admirably in
Great Britain. As coon as the system i fully
developed, it will be possible for people
transaotiDg business at the extreme ends of the
city to communicate with each other through
the post in the course of three or four hours.
The advantages of this in great commercial
community like ours will be at once appreof-
ated. It will contribute to render business
transactions, in which time is of consequence,
more easy of accomplishment, and it will other
wise add greatly to the convenience and com
fort Of metropolitan life.

The STATE TAX INCREASED AGAM.-One of
the GROWING infamies committed by the Al
bany buccaneers, and part of the fixed plan
to plumber the metropolis, was the increase of
the State tax, which now amounts to three and
three quarters mills on every dollar of assessed
property in the State. The levying Of q direct
tax was resorted to only few years ago as
temporary means of relief from endorsements
caused by the extravaganza of some small
politicians in the Canal Board and elsewhere.
1t has since been made permanent, and has
steadily increased until it has been almost
qusdrupled. This tax has followed the same
rule Of increase a. the imports levied by the
city, and it has undoubtedly been swelled by
the same causes. The Metropolitan Police dis
trict, and the city proper especially has to bear
the heaviest portion Of the taxation, while 1t
has no adequate representation in the Legisla-
sure. The entire valuation Of property In the
State for 1859 amounted to STAG, 900. S37.
The valuation in the city of New York, s552
00s.742. New York paid altogether for taxes.
So 1858 002 "a, Of which sum $932,5sl Os
was our proportion of the State tax, which

The Board of Ten Governors held meeting

settle up the unfinished business of the Board pre-
vious to their retirement from Office. The COM
mittee were instructed to prepare report Of the

papers to the new commission.

amounted altogether to only $2,4S5,6l3 %. On
this the property holders In the Metropolitan
Police district paid s1,24s0o5 80, or nearly
one bak And with all this We have to stasd
whatever absurd or ridiculous euacsueats
parcel Of village politicians, in the hasds OF
managers like TAnrlow Weed, may make for
rs. We have to pay them, In point Of fact, for
swindliDg us. The metropolis sends t, Albany
only twenty-five members of both houses,
against one hundred and thirty eight from the
country. What can handful Of men, even II
honest, do sgainst veil trained and disciplined
host! When the manager, whether 1t be Weed, or
Dean Richmond, or any one else, lifts his hand.
the Legislature votes; right or wrong, the thing
is carried through.
We don't know that the property holders Of
New York would object to paying twice as much
direct taxation II the State would let Ms aloae.
But no, the DowbiegiDs must bs taken care Of.
There must be more "Boards'-that Is the
favorite Buccaneering dodge nowadays, and
it is good-every thing must be done by .
Board, and men from Chautauqua or Wyoming
or Herkimsr, with the hay seed fresh in their
hair, are sent down the river to regulate our
municipal affairs. The increased taxation
which comes upon the county on account Of
these Boards" which are as costly as they arc
absurd, checks the prosperity Of the CITY,
frjghtens people who think of going into real
estate operations, and works harm in q thou
sand ways which may not be apparent ct onoe,
hut will no oavaroiv foIt in Tina Thu p,cns
neers do not care for this They are Cossacka,
who plumber right ard left and make or with
their booty. The time will come, and we be-
lieve it is not very far of, when the taxpayers
of New York will be compelled in selfdefsuce
to adopt some very stringent measures to pro.
tect themselves against the rspacity Of tho
Buccaneers of both parties at Albany.

TIE OYSTER SLoOP MURDER CASE OF HICKS
It will be seen from the proceedings in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday that
there are serious doubts whether this case can
be brought to trial at all. From the first it has
been question amongst lawyers whether the
point Of jurisdiction could be settled 90 as to
bring the prisoner within the cognizance OF
our local courts. The decision of Judge Hall
yesterday would seem to increase this uncer.
tainty, and it is probable from the view he has
taken of the case, that the prisoner will add
another to the numerous instances of escape
which occur through the absurd technicslites

The point raised by the prisoners counsel
was that having been first arrested in Provi

diction of the District Court Of the Southern
District of New York. Judge Hall, after giving
this objection due consideration, stated yester
day that the point presented so many difficulties
that be was unwilling to take it upon himself to
decide it, in case involving the penalty of death
as there could be no appeal from the decision
of this court with single Judge presiding
Having intimated his opinion to the District
Attorney, the latter had determined not to press
on the prosecution until the return of Judge
Nelson from Washington, when the court would
be held by him and another Judge Should
there be division of opinion between them,
then the point can be carried % the law pre-
scribes, on certificate Of that difference, to
the Supreme Court of the United States, and be
there determined.
Aswebave said, there 10 avery general impres-
zion amongst lawyers that unless some newfacts
are developed this mysterious murder will never
be brought to the test Of legal investigation.
1t is believed that the Supreme Court will decide

in defeating any Interior steps that the prose
cution may take. This case offers another
striking evidence Of the necessity which exists
for the further simplifcation of our criminal
code. The punishment of offences of this char
acter should not be made to depend on mere
technical forms and bubbles.
