IMPORTANT TO CATTLE DEALERS AND BROKERS.
case Of interest cattle dealers and cattle brokers
camo up for hearing Saturday before Commissioner
Osborn. Mr.. Barney Bertram, cattle broker, was
charged with having made to the Of the Ninth
district false and fraudulent return OF the amount Of
his sales from the LIST of May 1854 to the LIST Of Way
1865. The evidence showed that upon being notified
by the TO make return OF his sales Mr.. Ber
tram returned them at $500 COO whereas the inspector
of revenue on an examination of the defendants books
showed that return should have been for 1914 TT So
Counsel for the defendant GAINED that the had
right In forming estimate OF what license tax
broker should pay the present year from the 1s Of
May 1868 to the LIST Of May 1885, to take the sales Of
depreciation of tho statute gave authority to
the officer of internal revenue to do so. Counsel
also further claimed that the defendant misapprehended
the when asked 10 make return Of his sales in
1564-tha the return made was merely calculation or
what he would do in 1865 Therefore the act Of tho de-
PENDANT done under m apprehension, could not be
held as constituting offence The government repre-
sented by Mr. Joseph Bell, United Stat Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, claimed otherwise Tho case was sub
mtted the law and the facts to the Commissioner
who will render decision at farly day. Mr.. Bertram

power for the public good, ready to relinquish
it when the public good should require. 1t
did not endeavor to settle the peace of the
country on permanent constitutional basis
1t seemed determined to perpetuate its virtual
sovereignty. Guided by faction only, it ignored
the great truth that every day that it kept the
country in that unsettled state was day of
danger 1t ruled more oppressively than the
King had DONE Then Cromwell seized the
supreme power, and the great struggle for
freedom failed in the very hour of its success 1t
was the same in France. The constitution was
thrown away by the revolution, and the Con-
vention, by its Committee Of Safety, ruled with
the most horrible af1uence Of despotic bar
barity. Torn by the various factions, the coun-
try lay PROSTATE, ready to become the prey Of
any ono bold enough to seize the sovereign
power. Such was the position when the
Directory, the last Of the governing factions,
was displaced by Napoleon, and the struggle
that France had made for liberty served only
to crown an adventurer.
Our own situation is the same as that shown
in these instances Our constitution, limited
in its operation by the necessities of war is
practically set aside by the party that rules in
Congress. Congress has before 1t but the one
obvious duty of re-establishing the operation
of the law for state of peace. It ignores or
denies this duty. 1t insists upon holding on to
this dangerous power, insists that the constitu-
ton is suspended, even superseded, and pro-
poses new plans. We have therefore reign Of
faction, and not Of law, and in this condition
any event is possible. The only hope of the
nation lies in the character Of the people. They
are more intelligent than the people of other
nations, and their influence on the government
is more direct. They only can prevent us from
sliding into the despotism Of faction, to be fol-
lowed by the despotism of some individual
party leader. They, through the elections,
must signally rebuke the despotic spirit in
which Congress now plays the dictator, or the
inevitable consequences of this Congressional
suspension of the constitution will be the
destruction of our freedom.

OPERATIONS OF THE BOARD OF HEALrH.-The
Board of Health is now in full operation,
and has issued its first bulletin defining its own
duties and those of the public. 1t now remains
with every citizen to assist the Board In its
labors to preserve the health of the metrop-
oils, to remove nuisances of every descrip-
ton and keep the streets, lanes, yards and
tenement houses in clean condition. But 1t
is desirable that the Board should not be embar-
raised with unnecessary complaints, a though
they invite the public to enter such upon the
books at their Office, provided for that pur-
pose. If every one will see that his own pre-
misses are in proper condition there will be no
necessity to complain of his neighbor. The
Board of Health is now in possession of the
authority formerly enjoyed by the City Inspec-
tors Department, that Office being abolished,
and it is to be hoped that they will insist upon
having the streets properly cleaned, according
to contract, or else take the matter out of the
hands Of the present contractors altogether
and have the work done under their own su-
pervision. They have the Metropolitan Police
subject to their control for all sanitary pur-
poses, and there can be no reason why all the
orders Of the Board should not be efficiently
carried out
1t is most desirable, furthermore, that there
should be no carping on the part Of the parti-
san press tho action of the Board of
Health, for factious purposes, until they have
had fair trial. Let them have chance first
to show their capacity to fulfil their duties,
and when they fail in any degree twill be the
proper time to denounce them. The preserve
ton of the public health, especially at the
present time, with prospects of cholera in ad-
vance, is a matter of vital interest to the whole
public, and the actions Of the Board of Health
will be carefully watched and criticised In the
meantime, let every one, whether landlord or
tenant, cooperate with them to the best of his
ability.

Our CRIMINAL CoURTs-Thc lawmakers at
Albany ofttimes make middle of it when they
attempt to legisatc for this city. Recently,
in the lower branch Of the Legislature, q bill
has been introduced to abolish the court of
criminal justice known as the Special Sessions
for the reason that the salary paid the pre-
siding Justices Is exorbitant. The justices of
this court are chosen from among the regular
district police justices, and are each paid a
salary of six thousand five hundred dollars per
annum for their services. The law permitting
them this amount has no provision for prohibit
ing payment to them Of the salary Of five thou
sand dollars per annum for their services us
police Justices; but this latter sum the present
incumbents have never received. 1t was left
in the law by blunder; yet il is proposed to
abolish the court in order to correct the mis-
take. In the Senate q proposition has been
made TO fix the salary at six thousand FIVE hum
dred-a more sensible plan than that of total
abolition, for the grievance complained of will
then be entirely remedied, and the institution
of the Special Sessions preserved TO the adj
mnistration Of justice. This court has been in
existence under its present form only since May
last The total number Of punishmcnts in 1864
was 2,042, and in 1865, 1880. Under the pre-
vious system the monthly average Of con-
victions was l54. Under the present system
the average was 2ss. The increase in the ave-
rage monthly receipts from fines under the new
organization has been over seven hundred
dollars. There Is therefore evidently neces-
sty for the continuance Of the court, and II
would be better to correct the mistake of
salary than to reach that point by wiping the
court entirely out Of existence
DuTY ON CoAL-The Pennsylvania protec-
tionists are again hammering away at Con-
grcss for an increase OF duties on articles
that compete with the home productions
Of that State. They now demand tariff
Of one dollar and twenty cents per ton
upon bituminous coal. II not unfrequently
occurs that the grasping ambition and ava
riciousness Of moneycd monopolists bring
about reforms, from the monstrous character Of
their appeals. We shall not be surprised to
learn that this will be the case with the pro-
posed attempt to place an onerous duty on
such an universal article OF consumption and
necessity as coal. The effort ought to open
the eyes Of Congress to the rapacity Of these
coal and iron monopoists OF Pennsylvania,
and modify the tariff in this and other respects
more In consonance with the views aud neces-
stiles Of the great MAS Of our people.

How CANADA CAN GET OUT OF HER TRoU-
BLEs.-Be:ween the intense ferment created by
the hob-goblin of Fenianism, the abrogation
of the Reciprocity treaty and the monarchical
dodge Of confederation, our poor Canadian
neighbors are in the midst of sea of troubles.
Their leading men are Fostering the people
about politics and reciprocity, and their in-
vincible militia are in arms ready to hurl back
to American shores any body of Fenians who
may attempt to invade the sacred soil of Cana
da. Now there is q very easy method by which
our provincial cousins can be relieved of their
Fenian Affections, may be made to cease grum-
bling about reciprocity and to abate their jeal-
ousy and irritation about confederation. Let
Canada come into the American Union. We
have seat for her in our republic; for at the
adoption of the original articles Of confedera-
ton Of the States provision was made with
view to the ultimate annexation Of Canada to
the Union. We will treat her kindly. We
will even pay her debts. She shall sit at our
festive board and partake Of tho bountiful
feasts which the great republic is ever ready
to offer to free and loyal people. Canada
will thereby become elevated, digniHed and
powerful. She will have no further fear
Of raids, or Of retaliation for having fur.
nished harbor for land pirates and rebels,
as in the case Of the St Adams piracy. In
short, she will, instead Of being paltry, iso-
lated province, with nothing to hope for from
the home government, but in continual danger
of punishment for the international crimes of
the mother country, be placed under the pro-
lection of the broad shield of the Union, and
share in our prosperity and glories. There
could not be better time for the Canadians
to pronounce for annexation than the present;
and once accomplished, perfect panacea viii
be applied to all their internal troubles and
dangers. Come along, Canada.
