Ex-Mayor Opdyke, Cyrus W. Field, Judge Marvin
and others warmly opposed any increased taxa
tion and were of opinion that the interests of the
entire country, and the Southern States especial
ly, would be injured by the adoption of the pro-
posed measure.
The GOLD OF THE RICHMOND BANKS.-The Gov
eminent has finally determined to hold the gold
claimed by the Richmond banks as belonging to
them, some account of the seizure of which have
given already The proofs seem to establish clear
y that the gold belonged to the Southern Confed-
eracy, and was on deposit with the banks subject
to the drafts of the Confederacy
