Carl Schurz in Spain

1t was confidently asserted in many quarters
that Carl Schurz would not be received by the
Spanish power as a representative from this
country. We had seen no notice that he had
been received, but the following from The Paris
correspondent of the New York Times seems
to be conclusive on the point 1.-THE Moniteur
publishes this morning the speeches made by
Carl Schurz and the Queen of Spain. on the
occasion of the reception by her Majesty of the
American Minister. These speeches contain
nothing remarkable beyond an apparent SINGER
ity in the warm expressions Ct friendship of the
two Powers to each other. The length of the
Queens speech, however, as we'll as of that she
delivered on the occasion of Mr.. Preston's re-
tirement, is quite unusual among European
monarchs.'

THE DYING CHRISTIAN.

THE DYING CHRISTIAN.
BY W. B.I
Long IN sickness he has ldnguished,
Wasting slowly day by day.;
Body torn with grief and anguish,
As he daily fades away;
Yet no murmur or repning
From his lips is heard to fall,
But with patisnt grace entwining
More into his Savi.ur's call.
Friends and loved ones gather round him,
Weeping as their hearts would break,
For they know that soon they'll lose him;
Jesus calls; he cannot wait.
See that smile of heavenly beauty,
How it rests upon him now,
For in life he's done his duty,
Virtue stamps it on his brow.
But he's gone the struggles over;
Borne by yonder distant sail,
His bright spirits ferryed over
By the silent ''boatman pale"
And in Heaven saved forever,
Now he's Joined the holy choir
Earth no more his joys can sever,
While he strikes the golden Tyre

We have read the law of which the above is
one section, hastily as it is of great length but
we cannot discover that the text provides for
the levying of the tax on any other than landed
property and the improvements thereon. Sec
ton says that assessors shall, on the first
day OF March next, direct and cause the several
assistant assessors in the district to inquire af
ter and concerning all lands, lots of ground
with their Improvements and DWELLING houses
made liable to taxation under this act. !" and sec
ton g, more specifically declares THAT the said
direct tax laid by this act shall be assessed and
LAID On the value of all lands and lots and
ground, with their improvements and dwelling
houses, which several articles subject to taxa
ton shall be enumerated and valued by the re-
sPective assessors, at the rate each of them is
worth in money on the first day of April, eigh-
teen hundred and sixty-two." The machinery
for assessing the property and collecting the
tax does not differ materially from that in use
III most of the States. The assessors and col
lectors are to be appointed by the Secretary Of
the treasury, and they in turn are to subdivide
their respective districts, appoint deputies land

customs.

carefully drawn and would seem to be effective

There is bill before the Senate Of the United
States, reported by Mr. Bisler, In relation to the
liabilities Of the Collectors OF Customs, which
should not be passed without due consideration
of its probable effects. II proposes to relieve
Collectors from oil personal Liability for exactous
Of illegal duties. Dhc bill proposes complete
revolution in our revenue system. The Collect
ors, from tho earliest period Of the Government
to tho present time, have always been held anne.
nabe, ike all other public officers, for ilegd
conduct; but it is now proposed to relieve them
from this responsibility, and to turn the merchant
who gets Judgment for q wrong done to hin
over to the Treasury Department of the United
States Why should the importer who has beea
wronged by a Collectors Illegal act, as decided
by the Courts OF the Union, be compelled to wall
upon the movements Of irresponsible clerks n tho
Treasury Department! Any one conyersant with
the proceedings of the Government knows that
merchants are compelled TO await for years the
action Of that Department. No class of business
is go much oppressed as the importers OF this
city. We wish Congress to inquire Of the United
States District Attorney Of this city what pro-
portion Of cases tried in the Courts here resuls
in favor of the United States on questions Of dn-
ties Illegally exacted. Scarcely one in ten. The
Collector is reckless enough now, and We have
no idea Of giving him greater immunity.
We venture to assert that the merchants Of
this city have submitteatO greater eIactiOns IN
der the present officers Of the Customs than undct
any of their predecessors. 1t is said that the in:
come Of Theses officials VIII amount from $25,0O0
to $50 eco per annum. Let us have some Light
