LOCAL MATTERS.

Charge II R1ssy. Yesterday there were
thfee parties before e. 8. Commissioners
S.nds- Z Rsbman, r. Maiseh, and John r.
Siedd, butchers in the Second Narket-to
answer the charge Of perjury, they having
made false statements to the G. s. Ass< ssoT
OF the gross receipts upon which they were
to be taxed. Rebmaa returned 5000 as his
gross receipts. The Government officer ~
prepared to show that he had received 81, ,402
for green hides alone. MA.sch returned
81 900, when he had received a., ,70Jfnr green
hides Sledd returned &l2 .OOO, and had re-
ceive. S11, ,113 for hides. During the pro-
gress CT the examination Mr. James Kerscy,
the assessor, was nSt satisfied that he had
ever taken the oatl, Of Office prescribed by
law, and II he had not he was not authorized
to administer the cath to the prisoners, ard
therefore they had committed no perjury.
L.. order to examine authorities the Com.
missioner adjourned the Investigation till
this morning.
We regret to learn that there are other
parties Connected with the markets who
nave made false returns, aad who will GER
tain!y be arrested If they do not make the
proper corrections in dus time. The Gov
eminent officers have uaerring data to guide
them, but they do not wish to see pt Tsons
imprisoned and ruined unless they persist
In their crimes.
Among the merchants on Broad street.
particularly some who have left--tbe ofFicers
have found very many foul transact ms, and
are preparing to have the returns for two
quarters past corrected. In one case mer-
chant returned his gross salts at S10, 800,
when the books Of another Arm show that
he purchased S62 600 Of them. A neighbor
returned x5S ,OO0, Dat after being cautioned
against . false statement increas ed it to SS3.-

Such attempts to defraud the Government
ought to be punished with severity, for the
money thus acquired can be Of but little
value if our ownpeople aid in bankrupting
and breaking it down.

Rlice xattsrs had better be left Id the
hands of the Mayor, who is paid to attend
to them, and whose plans sometimes mis-
carry because of the interference of other
justices during their iucipient stages. Salts
fed that gaming houses were being kept in
this city, in defiance of the law of the State,
the police haye been at work for some time,
eudeavoring to get at their keepers. Last
Wednesday night the officers entered house
and captured and Gagged two men, Charged
to be the keepers; but before the Mayor
could finish his Inquiries and get such wit
pesses as he needed, another Justice 10 ap-
lied to, the parties are bailed in the sum Of
$1,000 each, and one Of them fails to appear
when called. Other justices may have equal
powers with the Mayor, but for the good oi
the city aud the enforcement of the laws
they had bstter hold their hands for the fu.
ture and let the head of the police attend td
his own business. A rigid enforcement oi
the gaming law is more to be desired now
than ever, because the secrecy with which
gambg Is conducted 10 far more dangerous.
