APK1vATE letter received in this city
from a distinguished member OF the
House of Representatives, containsthe
following remarks touching the finan-
cial policy to be pursued by Congress
at the present session:
There is great uncertainty hanging
over the financial legislation of Con-
gress, and no man can do much more
Than to guess at the outcome. Some
tendencies, however, are manifest.
There has been decided reaction
against the imitation policy within the
last three months. Many of the lead
ing journals of the West have come out
against 1t, and the feeling in the House
Is greatly modified. On the whole am
inclined to believe that there will be no
decided action either way at this ses-
sion. For my own part 1 am wholly
opposed to initiation, and am In favor
OF IL gradual return TO specie.

AZ Last the burdens OF taxation there

Peter Cooper, Chairman OF the Citizens'

John Jay, President of the Union

Commerce unite in calling a mass
meeting TO "protest, on behalf OF the
inhabitants Of the city, against the "a
nacity of public officials and the rapid
coudscatIon of property caused by the
ever increasing annual tax"
We quote from Mr.. Cooper's letter:
The time has come, in the opinion OF

righLful owners, or WreSted from Inet men

All the acts OF the city and county
officials during the past year, which
were done In violation of law, which
have been vetoed by the Mayor or ar
rested by the courts, are, by the pro-
visions inserted in these tax levles, to
be leGaliZed to the fullest extent. Such
is the scheme which passed the Assem-
bly of the state, and which has been
sent to the Senate for concurrence.
1.-THE taxes are allowed 10 increase
in the next fifteen years as they nave
in the past fifteen, then in
thnt time they Will be ninety millions
of dollars per annum.
There Is nothing to prevent the In
crease but the most unceasing vigilance.
Thirty years ago IL would have seemed
fabulous in view of u tax at that time

PERMISSION TO DANCE.-A capital

among his church members. A couple

at military ball of their regiment

polka together, to show the blsnpp

SIX Tons OF GoLD-Attempted
Robbery.-As stated in another para
graph the Adams Express Company
brought from New York Friday night
to the Sub Treasury of this city thir-
ty kegs of gold coin, weighing about
400 pounds each, making over six
tons. While on the transit an at
tempt was made in Hartford Co., CT,
20 throw the train from the track by
placing sleeper across the track,
but beyond a slight conclusion no
trouble was experienced. 1t is sup
posed that parties in New York must
have telegraphed the fact to their
confederates that large amount OF
gold was on the way, but the attempt
lailed.-Jomnal.
