GREAT DECREASE IN INCOMES. =
The New York Eoening Post an
nounces the very significant fact,
based upon the information received
from the assistant assessors, that
there is general, though very ire
gular, decrease in the income tax
from last year, and the aggregate tax
of that city will fall off moro than
twenty-five per cent. 1t is this in
come tax, with its inquisitorial often
siveness towards every class of the
community, that, of all others, should
beremoved, rather than the taxes on
manufactures. Expenses. however,
must be reduced before the much
needed remission of taxation shall be
really justifable; and we do not see
that our radical legislators at Wash
ington are doing anything material
and permanent to lessen the great
cost Of their sectional and party rule.
Taking off the domestic tax from q
highly protected class of manufac-
lures, with no reduction of duties on
the corresponding classes of i'm
ports. while still maintaining extra
VACANT and useless ranges of expen-
diture in maintaining military 60
vernments and freedmen's bureaus
in ten States. is only q delnsive pre-
tence of relieving the people, the
effects of which they must ultimately
feel with two-fold force. Meantime,
the decrease in incomes necessarily
goes on under the prostrating effects
of such policy, and the people are
still to be annoyed by having their
lessening incomes pried into.

port of the Commissioner of Agri-

concerning the value Of Southern

agriculture in, that section. Asa

capital, disorgapization of labor,
drifting uncertainty and instability

South of Maryland, the depreciation
of real estate is the most prominent
feature of the reports. In@Virginia,
two-thirds of the Counties report q
decrease in the value of land since.

and averaging 35 per cent. The
average decrease of the entire State,
may be placed at az per cent. AS
compared with New York, property
worth 800 in 1860 is, now valued at
$73 in Virginia and $128 in New
York. Reports from forty-one Coun-
ties of North Carolina represent q
very general decrease in value Of real
estate. Onalow County reports mo
decrease on well-improved farms, but
all others estimate decline, varying
from 5 to rs per cent, and the gene
raj average is set down at 80 per
cent. Small and improved farms
have declined less in value than large
and neglected estates. South Caro-
lima returns represent the decrease of
real estate to be 25 to 80 per cent,
or 60 per cent. average for the whole.
State. The causes are variously
stated-generali Indebtedness, scarcity
OF money, want Of reliable laborers,
great less of capital in slaves, want
of money, unsettled condition of the
country, general poverty. fear of
confscation and negro domination.
About fifty Counties of Georgia show
an average decline of from SO to 60
per cent. in the value Of farm lands
since 1860. No County reports an
actual increase, and sales of land
there, as elsewhere in the South, are
few at any price, except when en-
forced by the auctioneer's hammer.
Georgia is naturally one of the rich
est agricultural and mineral States,
producing in one section tropical
fruits and in another the fruits of
the North. Cotton production has
been largely superseded by Indian
corn and wheat. the latter paying the
fairest rental for the land where cul-
tivation is made on shares with labor.
Florida returns. though meagre, are
little more satisfactory than some
other States. While some of the
Counties show decrease of 20 to rs
per cent, those on the st. Johns
River have advanced one-third in
value since 1860, and in Baker County
the increase is estimated at 50 per
cent. There is large area of wild,
unimproved lands, varying in value
from 10 cents TO SO, and averaging
81 to 50 per acre. Some of these
lands, in Jackson County, for in
stance, will yield from 10 to 20
bushels of corn, or 600 to 1000

THE FALL MEETING.

The great Fall Meeting over the Metairie
Course begins tomorrow. No meeting in
the South, since some years before the war,
and few in the North OF West have excited so
much interest, or brought together so many
thoroughbred horses and SO many amateurs
of legitimate turf sports.
The first race will be a mile and a half dash,
for all ages. $50 entry, play or pay; $3.50
added by the club. Each entry to carry 100
pounds. There are seven entries, namely:
Bismarck, Tom Green, Chickamquga, the Bleal-
,oiad colt, Malcolm, fly By Colossus and Lo-
beliQ.
The second will be for the grand State POST
Stakes, three mile heats entry $500, play or
pay, $1,000 added by the club, together with
magnificent racing plate.
Rumor hath it that GiIroy, full brother to
the renowned Kentucky, will cake his place in
the struggle for Louisiana; Stmdo,cn for Mis-
souri, and either Bayond or Gen. Etoea, or per-
haps Fannie OiedHtG for Albania. We believe
our confrere, the Picayune, was in error In
stating, yesterday, that Bdyonet had let down.
We have good authority for declaring that he
was never in better running order. We also
beg leave to correct our neighbor with regard
to Fannie ChedthGm. She may have been
beaten at dash of two and half miles, but
she certainly has run the distance to be made
| tomorrow; for, last August, she beat two
very fast horses in three mile race over the
course at Providence, Rhode Island, Gen.
York and SIeety, distancing the latter in the
second heat and winning in two heats, one of
which was made in Sal.
Our readers must not expect a fast, but
they will find good track. The heavy rains
of the last few days, and the late overflow,
have done a good deal towards temporarily
destroying the elasticity of the turf; but,
although extraordinary time may not be made,
the two races will be calamity and hardly
contested.
We append the pedigree of the horses
entered in the first race: b. b. Bismarck, by
Lexington, dam by Glencoe, y. o.; ch. h.
Tom Green, by Memnon, dam by Tempest
ch h. Chicbdmdugd, by Jack Malone, dam

CITY FINANCES.

Do the people who oppose the three NIL
lion ordinance and the tax of one-fourth OF
one Der cent. attached to it, reflect what will
be the condition of affairs if that ordinance
be defeated at the election to be held on Sat-
urday week?
The city owes at least three million dollars
in city notes, payable on demand and nearly
two million more of outstanding warrants,
matured interest on the old debt and In Judg-
ments and executions. On the latter all OF
the city property not dedicated to public use
has been seized, including the stock In the
Waterworks, the stock in the jackson Rail-
road, the ground rents, the Pile Market prop
erty, and the monthly dues from the various
city railroads.
If any other means could be adopted to re-
lieve the pressing necessities of the city, why
are they not suggested
Do the people reflect that the city debt
must be paid now or hereafter2
And that the longer the debt is postponed
without a settlement satisfactory to debtor
aud creditor, the costs and expenses involved
in the consequent litigation increase IN
frightful ratio, and that it is beyond the power
of the council to avert these results?
The current expenses of the city must be
met in some way, or the city government
must be abandoned and the charter sur
rendered. Can the property holders, the
license payers and the people Of New Orleans
generally, consent to surrender the charter Of
the city, and pass the control of municipal
affairs into the hands of the appointees Of
Governor Warmoth But such must be the
result sooner or later, if the people, by their
vote on Saturday week, should reject the three
million ordinance, and the action of the So
called Legislature is to be depended upon to
relieve the. wants of this oppressed community
We are not of those who consider the adop-
ton of the ordinance in question to be a
final extrication of the city from all its ditfi-
culties; but we maintain that it will accom-
plish much toward that object 1t is an ex-
pertinent that, if successful, will advance the
value of all city securities, and will give con-
fidence to the public of desire on the part
of our city administration to commence and
carry out healthy system of retrenchment,
and to reduce the expenses of the city within
reasonable limits.
We beg, therefore, to take issue with the
Bee on many of the points brought forward
in some of its recent articles in English and
French. We would ask our contemporary to
take the trouble to ascertain facts and figures
from those of the city officers who have the
opportunity to furnish it, and we feel con-
WINGED that much of its opposition to the
ordinance will be abated.

Wendell Phillips is alarmed by the splendid
fight made by the Democracy at the recent
election. 1t discomforts him to find that in q
poll of 100000 votes the Republicans have
less than SOC, 900 majority. He sees danger
ahead for the party unless means are taken
to suppress the insurgent voice OF oppo-
sition to Radicalism. of course Phillips
has q plan of salvation, plan to make
future Radical elections sure. His remedy
lies in ideas = that is to say in his idea,
which is to add fifteenth amendment to
the super-amended Constitution by way of
providing voted for everybody that will vote
the Radical ticket. Livery "loil" person,
saws Phillips, must be permirsea to vote with
ont any regard to previous condition, except
that of having been "rebel,' which OF
course constitutes ground for disfranchise-
ment Thus by bringing in the few thousand
NEGROES in each Northern State, and by q
judicious application of the process OF political
elimination in the South, the Democratic
vote may be got rid of as superiuous guam
tity, and the unknown quantity will be de-
xeloped as an effective Radical majority In
1872. Thus the great forces Of civilization
will have ample scope to operate, and carpet
baegery will be established as permanent
and irreversible institution. But why no
amend the Constitution at once by declaring
that everybody may vote that viii vote tn
Radical ticket, and that nobody shall vote tina
does MT vote the Radical ticket? The pro
cess would gain in simplicity and effective
ness what it lacks in ingenuity, and tn
object would be accomplished in most con
rlusive manner
