We have been solicited from several quarters
to join in an cutlery against the Government for
allowing recently enlisted soldiers to be mus
tered out Of service ard holding veterans who
have reenlsted to remain. We cannot see that
this is wrong. The Government wants not
many but good men, and one veteran is worth
two recruits-for present service. And, As there
is little left to be done but to eat the rations We
trust our soldiers who "hold over" will not
weary in well doing. "Wat little longer"
and all who choose will doubtless be mustered
ont. The fighting is Oyer only guard duty
remains. Those who reenlisted last year and
received generous bounties therefor can surely
stand few months more of camp life-waiting
to see if the fires Of Secession, so nobly
quenched, shall not again break out. Hold on

We presume the Tax Commissioner contro-
troversy may be considered substantially set.
tied by the decision of the Court of Appeals,
which we publish this morning as delivered by
Mr.. Justice Davies. The Court listened cour-
teously to an application yesterday on the part
Of tho respondents counsel for reopening of
the argument. but it is scarcely to BIO supposed
that Mr.. cx-Justice Allen will persuade the
bench that its matuued and decisive opinion is
erroneous.
This case in its practical aspects is familiar to
the public; in its legal relations it is put in the
clearest light by the opinion Of the highest
court in the State Josiah w. Brown, Jona-
than W. Allen and Amor J. Williamson were
appointed Tax Commissioners in May, 1859,
by Controller Haws, and continued in office
till May, 1864, when the present Controller,
Brennan, undertook 10 remove Messrs. Brown
and Williamson and appoint Christian g.
Woodruff and George II. Purser in their places
Tho latter seized upon the office and books. and
have remained in possession. The former Com
missioners brought writ to dispOsse5s them.
and the title of the old incumbents after being
twice denied By inferior courts is affirmed b.
the Court of Appeals and the appointment Of
Woodruff and Purser declared invalid.
Tho question turned On the meaning Of the
statute under which the old Tax Commissioners
were appointed. BY tho act of April IA, 1889,
tho Controller Of the City of New-York was
empowered to appoint three Commissioners 70
hold office for five years and until Others were
appointed in their places. The respond
ents in this action contended that the
legal construction of that act was to
give the Controller at the end of five years
the power of appointing new Commissioners,
and upon that theory it was that Controller
Brennan ou,ted the old incumbents. But the
court holds otherwise. 1t is plain that the
statute cOniers no such power in terms, AM the
court declines to infer it. Hence it fol-
lows that Messrs. Brown and Williamson
rightly held over attor the expiration
of their FIVE years term, and are
now entitled to continue in tkoir Office till sue.
cessors are legally installed. The court re-
marks also that it must be supposed 70 have
been the intent of the Legislature that the tn
cumbents should hold over, because there
was an absence of any further legislation pre-
,cribng mode for making new appointments.
1T could not fail to be seen," says Mr.. Justice
Davies, "that the laws as then in existence
fully provided for the continuance of the Board,
snd tho complete aud active discharge Of all its
functions"
Judgment is rendered for the plaintiffs, the
respondents are to be Ousted from the office
they have occupied, the plaintiffs TO have the
fees and cmo.uments thereof and the respond.
ents 20 deliver an account and restitution Of
what they have received.

sou,berners at Washington.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
writing from the capital. makes the fol-
lowing observations about Southerners at
nresest to be seen at that place:
The most observable feature about them
is. that they are an entirely different class
Of beings from the Southern people who
used to come to Washington before the
war. and particularly between 1850 n
1850. The aristocracy Of the South do
not come to Washington now. There are
no handsome fne-looking men, and no
beautiful women, with refined and ele-
oant manners, among the crowds that
alioht from the cars at the Richmond de-
not, or that crowd the dinner tables at
The hotels. There are, of course, a few
exceptions. l speak now of the general
mass. The manners aud appearance OF
the Southern people now in Washington
present, to my mind. a painful contrast to
he brilliant scenes of even as late a day
as 1857 and 1858. These people, how
ever, are honest, intelligent and we'll IN

The Last Letter Ever Written by the
Late Bishop General Polk.

We present below a copy of the last auto
graph letter ever written, probably, BY the
late Bishop of Louisiana and General In the
late Confederate army. 1t was captured by
the chief-bugler of the 18th Kentucky Caval-
~, at Salisbury, N. Q. 1t was addressed, 1t
will be perceived, to his daughter, just after
her marriage. The original is in our posses
sion 1(says the Louisville Journal,) and can
be obtained by the lady to whom it was adj
dressed. The editor is desired to say that
the watch of Bishop Gen. Polk, which was
captured with much other property at the
same time, is now in the hands of the same
gentleman, and is at the disposal of the fami-
ly of the deceased.
We knew Bishop Polk personally and well,
adds the Journal, and, aside from all political
questions or considerations, always regarded
him as a pure, Christian gentleman-an opin
ion that we never have changed Let us not
Judge the dead. To their own Master they

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Following the lead Of the New York
Independent in opposing the Presidents
reconstruction policy, the Chicago Trlb-
une Of Friday last m out against
President johnson. The immediate course
of the Tribune's attack is the Endorsement
by the President of Governor S~hafkey's
proclamation calling out the militia OF
Mississippi to preserve peace and order
in that State. 1t has been perfectly plain
for some time past that the Radical wing
of the Republican party. represented by
such papers as the Missouri Democrat
and the two Tribunes published at New
York and Chicago, and President Joha-
son were entering upon a condition oil
divergence that must soon culminate IN
the separation Of the Radical and Con
servative wings Of that party-the ono
lead by Horace Greedy through the New
York Tribune and the other by tue sue
cesor of Mr.. Lincoln. The muLterings OF
the storm have neither been few nor far
between. The Chicago Tribune unable
longer to contain its modification and rage
at it's inability to control the policy OF the
President, and to turn him from. his pres
ent national and statesman Ike course,
into the narrow channel of sectionaIlsm
and ostracism marked out for him by
that paper, has come out fiat footed
against his policy Of reconstruction, and
in such a cool manner as be>t to make its
utterance impressive upon the party 1t
rcpresents.-[St, Louis Press.
