THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1861.

1t Is truly gratifying to learn with what prompt
| ness our citizens pay their taxes. With all the
strlngency of the times and the arrangement of bu.
slness, the payments at the City Collectors office
tar exceed the anticipatons of the most sanguine
and must disappoint all croakers. All this must
be an assurance that there is no anarchy here as
the enemies OF our city have labored to prove,
and certainly exhibits the fact that there is
no scarcity OF means to meet the public demands
upon the taxpayer. This aid to city treasury
VIII Certainly enable her to meet her liabilities
promptly, and thus quiet all fears on that score
lhe holders OF her stocks be assured of the re-
guiar payments of their interest, and confident
ly rely that our city obligations will be faith
iuily met This public confidence has also
an extended benefit upon all other corpor-
ate securities, for all more or less de-
pendent on the substantial character of the
clty'S credit. While we feel very sensblv
the general depression and arrangement of
trade, yet we are happy to know that our citizens
are not too poor to pay their taxes nor frightened
from their business habits by the threats of our
very dlsinterested friends at the North, who 50
revel IN the thought of cutting our throats and
then laying our city in ashes. From an Incl
dent that we have heard of, where a lady
called Tor her tax bill, saying that she wished to
pay 1t at once, for in these times she wanted to do
all she could for the city, inclined to think
that patriotism has something to do with the
present prompness of our taxpayers.
From the proper source we learn that the aggre-
gate receipts at the Tax Department for the three
last days was SIS, 900; good beginning for the
levy OF 1861, and a pretty good evidence that our
people do not believe that the world is coming to
an end, or that Baltimore is just now to be annihi-
lated by Senator Spinola.
