ment, aud before any body expected him, and that
the Senate was 10 take up the resolutions OF inyi-
tation passed by the Assembly last week, so that
every thing would be ready for bis reception in the
eveuIng Whether this was his intention not, il
trans PRED later that the forward movement had ter

gone tLither to meet him. The Senate met IN the
evening and proceeded quietly to discuss bills on

The Controller sent III IA communication inclosng
ing one from Controller Brennan, OF the City OF
New-York showing that some banks In that CITY
decline TO pay the State tax the ground that they
have invested their capital in stocks OF the United
States and that the same are exempt from taxation
by act Of Congress. The question IL now before the
Courts but il was not thought that the banks would
decline 10 pay the tax before The final decision on
the subject
In consequence of the action of the banks, the
amount Of taxes for the current fiscal year Is likely
TO be diminished some $l7S, 96J which must be pro-
yided for in some other way. The Controller recon-.
mends an increased duty upon ealt, and the amend.
menl OF the auction laws AZ proposed IN hs annual
report. These undoubtedly Will lie sufficient to
the amount Of the anticipated diminuton III tho RS
ceipts OF taxes.
The communication was referred to the Committee
on WAYS and Means.
The Controller holds that while il ia not coostitu.
ional for the State to tax United States stocks, it
can tax the capital OF banking corporations, as such,
no matter Of what the securities arc cUmposed.

The New California Senator.

Senator CONFESS of California, the newly
elected Senator from the Golden State, in a
recent letter to Col. J. w. Forney, said: j.
l have always been Democrat. was only
Democrat because Democracy meant the
greatest extension of civil rights TO the human
kind consistent with civil order. We were
working out this simple problem peacefully
until this war was made upon us TO supplant
liberty by slavery, and to degrade us in the
estimation OF mankind. Our enemies have
forced upon lis a contest between slavery and
freedom. between barbarism and civilization,
which they have said shall be determined by
blows. They are discovering what sensible
people understood before that blows can be
received as well as given. The 1pine" is
swinging against the PALM" and say, God
help them to severe and speedy punishment
for their great, unnatural crime against civil
liberty.
There are those who proiane and arrogate
to themselves the term Democracy, which they
undertake to use in restraint of the govern
ment in this great fight, TO weaken its arms
and to paralze its limbs. o what a cruel and
base use do they make of the Democratic
name When, before this, where human rights
were involved, were the Democracy Of the
nation not on the war-path? Heretofore the
name was the symbol of courage. They would
now use it to cover crime and cowardice.
Those who are engaged in it will yet wish
they had never been born.
