TRENtoN, Nj, Jan. 17.-In the United
States Circuit Court Judge Field delivered
an opinion on the United States revenue
case. The Trenton Arms Company applied
for an injunction against the Collector of
Internal Revenue, in order to test the le-
gality of his assessment. Judge Field re-
fused to grant the injunction to restrain
the collection Of the revenue tax. He de-
clared that he could not be the first Judge
to grant an injunction In n case. Of this
kind; that the power to issue an. injunction
power, and that this being particularly 90
in matters of taxation, it ought never be
granted unless there was clear case for
the exercise of the power. 1t might be the
most serious consequence at q time like
this for courts to interfere by injunction to
restrain the United States assessors and col
lectors in the discharge of their duties.

OPERA HoUsE-MR. ELLsLER's GRAND
OPENING NIGHr.-Last evening Manager
Ellsler opened a season at the Opera House
with his well selected dramatic company
Never was more fashionable or larger
audience gathered at the Opera House. 1t
was filled to overflowing, and when the play,
the "Hunchback," was commenced, each
prominent, or old recognized actor, as he
made his appearance on the stage, was
greeted with applause. Miss Olive Logan,
in the character of Julia, made flattering
impression, by her distinct and clear enun-
citation, and the general propriety and beau
ty of her rendition of the part. The
"Hunchback," and the farce that followed,
were both handsomely and effectively rem
dered, and each character, as general
thing, naturally and artistically personated.
Tonight the sentimental and deeply ex-
citing play of the "Lady of Lyons" will
be performed by Manager Ellsler's COM
pany-Miss Olive Logan appearing as Pau
line.
The farce of "Sarah's Young Man" will
follow, in which Mr.. Lewis will personate
Sam Slowleaf.

Great Opcning Sale.

To-day, at half past nine o'clock, A. NJ,
commences the great auction and sale OF
Thirty Thousand Dollars worth of dry
goods at No. 10l East Town street, opposite
the Gwynne Block. AS this sale will con-
tinue but few days, and will be peremp-
tory, citizens and visitors in the city should
avail themselves to-day, and each succeed
ing day while the sale lasts to procure such
goods as they may desire at greatly reduced
rates. This is the golden oppoi trnity to
take advantage of this peremptory sale,
and thus save, in these hard times, hand
some sum of money, which would other
wise be spent in the purchase of interior
goods at far higher prices than the superior
articles will be sold at this auction. (
Ladies and gentlemen should not fail to
attend this SALE. Housekeepers, and keep
ers of public and private boarding houses,
should especially make 1t point to be pre-
sent at this great auction of an almost inf
mite variety of dry goods. BY making Sc
lections, and having the goods they wish
to purchase put up for sale, they may readi-
ly supply themselves With such as they may
want, and ut saving of fifty or even a
still larger per centage. Remember the
sale commences at 91a A. NJ, and a and
Up. M. to-day, and SO on each day while it
lasts. Improve the opportunity.

ACCIDENTS TO HoRsEs.-Casualties to
horses, on account OF solid ice in the streets

Early yesterday morning, soon after man
in the country had started for the city with
load of wood, drawn by team of two
horses, one Of the horses fell down on the
ice, and lay there till he was embarrassed,
and with difficulty gotten up. '
A similar accident occurred about noon
yesterday, at the intersection Of High and
Gay streets. A horse attached to buggy,
as he was being turned down West Gay
street, being smooth-shod, slipped on the
ice and fell on one side, where he lay till
released from the gearing. Too much care
cannot be used in driving horses in the
present icy condition of our ithoroughfares'

4 Report OF THE SEWERAGE COMMISSION
| AT the meeting of the City Council on
Monday evening, the Sewerage Commission
-Messrs. Geo. Gere, Louis .Hoster, w. b.
Hubbard, Chairman, and Philo d. Fisher,
Secretary, submitted their second report,
of which the following is an abstract:
That portion of the Sciot0 river above
the dam, and lying within the city limits,
may be so adapted and used as the common
depository of the sewerage from all the
sewers of the city, having their outlet, ac-
cording to its present boundaries, In such
manner as not to jeopardize the health of
the citizens. 10 do this, it would be nee
essary to provide efficient means for thor
oughly cleansing the depository of all filth
brought into it. '3
| The Commission recommend the inser-
tion and establishment, In the present State
dam across the Scioto, of two gates or sluce
ways OF sufficient width and depth that
when opened, the whole of the accumula-
ted debris and filth, collected in the water
basin above the dam, may be drawn off
down to the original surface of the original
bed of the stream. ~
This, the Commission think, may be
done by having the gates or sluice ways in
tuO udui Ndllo SuluClSIIiy low, anu u5lHH
proper care to have them opened iu low
water seasons, just as a rise of water or
freshet is commencing. 1t may be neces-
sary to have in operation at the same time,
and during the rising Of the water, a small
steam tug of light draft, with suitable ma
chinery attached, to loosen and dredge out,
by the motive power of the water, the
whole of the previously settled and accum-
ulated debris.
1The Commission give it as their opin-
ion that the State Is interested In common
with the city in the proposed work, and
recommend that the City Council adopt
measures for obtaining from the Legislature
the necessary law vesting the power in said
Council to make the improvements above
suggested, and to have perpetual control
and Jurisdiction over the same for the sole
I>hygenic purposes named. -

FIRE-A FIRE ENGINE CAPsIzED.-Yes es-
terday morning about IL o'clock, the alarm
bells announced that a fire was in progress
in the city. On following the course indi-
Gated by the people, in search of the scene
of connagration, we found that the alarm
was occasioned by fire catching in the ROOT
of frame kitchen in the rear of small
brick house, No. 6S West Rich street, the
residence of William Worden, hack driver
The fire was soon extinguished by the ap-
plication of a little water, and with but
slight damage to the building.
An unfortunate accident however, oc-
CURED to the Fire Engine from the South
Engine House. 1t was driven rapidly
toward the fire down Rich street from High
to Front street, and in making turn on
Front, SO as to come up to the cistern on the
southwest corner of Front and Rich streets,
it suddenly capsized, falling upon one side,
breaking too wheels, and bruising the frame
work of the carriage. We learn that no
person was injured by the accident.
