METROPOLITAN TAXATION FOR 1s6l.-The
Comptrollcr's report for last year, pre-
sented TO the Common Council at their
final meeting, represents the taxation, as
estimated for the present year, to be on
the increase by over million and a
quarter Of dollars-the total amount TO be
raised being Sill ,o52,64s, while that of last
year was only s9,75s,5o7. The taxes for 1861
are divided into the amount levied for the ex-
penses Of the city government, which is
SO, sos, 1893; for county expenses, which IL
s2.335. 219, and for State taxes, which amount
to s2,1Os635. The amount of property as
sessed for taxes is not yet complete; but mas
much as it was valued at FIVE hundred and
seventy seven millions last year, wo may cal
culate that its assessed value this year wiki be
something over six hundred millions of ,toilars.
What its real value may be hefore the tax
books are opened. will depend upon how the

South, there being in Missouri, Maryland and
the other border States one failure TO every
forty-nine and one-half stores; but this arises
from the fact that in those States the Northern
merchants preponderate.
The years 1867, 1858 and 1859 show far more
favorably for the South than 1860; but there
is enough in the exhibit of the latter year to
silence these groundless charges of commercial
dishonesty and desire for Reputation on the
part Of the slave States.

DISCREPANCY OF REPUBLICAN VIEWS on THE
PEsEST CRISIS AND IT'S RExEDrEs.-El Elsewhere
will be found extracts from the addresses of
the incoming and retiring Governors Of Massa-
chusetts to the Legislature Of that State. They
present marked contrast in tone and breadth
of views. Whilst Governor Andrew regards
the claims Of the South as unworthy of serious
consideration, and to be decided only by an
appeal to the sword, Governor Banks is willing
to concede even points Of principle in order to
restore peace TO our unhappy country. The
tone Of the one Is naughty, contemptuous and
defiant whilst that of the other breathes ten
derncss and forbearance which bespeak the
true patriot and the Christian. The patriotism
of the new Governor carries him no further
than the boundaries Of Massachusetts,; that of
Governor Banks is bounded only by the limits
of the Union itself Both republicans, they
betrsy, in their different manner Of viewing the
dangers impending over the country, the
strongly conflicting opinions which divide the
party and which must soon end in its total dis
ruption. 1t is pity that in this emergency
the retirement Of Governor Banks into private
life dcprivcs Massachusetts, Of bis advice and
guidance. IA il is to her evil influence and
teachings that we owe our present troubles, IL
is to be regretted that one Of the few statesmen
whose moderation and patriotism might have
conducted her into the path Of repentance
should be withdrawn from her counscls, aud
that narrow minded sectionalist like Governor
ndrew should be called TO Gil bis place

EXPOSURES or THE CALUMNIEs AGAINST THE
CoMxERcIAL INTEGRITY OF THE SoUrH.-One Of
the most unfortunate features Of the present
feud which dstracts the country is the disposi-
ton manifested by the republicans to impugn
the commercial honesty of the South. In this
spirit they have attributed as the principal mo-
tive Of the secession movement desire on the
part Of the slave States to repudiate and get
rid Of their debts TO the North.
There is nothing like figures TO disprovc
charges of this kind. The following table, COM
piled from the circulars Of the mercantile
agency Of Dun Boyd 4 Co., shows the num-

From the above II will be seen that the slave
States not only do pay their debts, but pay
them better than any other section of the coun'
try. Assuming, as we are entitled to do from
this table, that there are two and one-thrd
more stores at the North than in the South, we
find that in the free States there has been one
failure to every sixty-one stores, and in the
slave States only one to every seventy-onc

in favor OF the latter. II we take the liabilities
