New YORK, April 6, 1858.
To the Editor of the Press:
The official lists from the Third Collection
District of Internal Revenue for the present
year, comprising the wealthiest portion of the
city of Brooklyn, have just been made public.
They show great falling off in amount, said
to be due to various causes, one of which is
that money is getting scarce and people are
poorer than they were two or three years
ago. In 1866, the tax in this district was
81 100000. In 1867, $S59,OOO. In 1868,
100000. II is not just right to publish these
lists, as it shows to the world the vast in
comes of the rich, and subjects the man of or
dinary income to the scrutiny and gossiping
of his neishbors. Yet the newspapers will
do it. The sum of $1,000 is in all cases de-
| Quoted from the annual income for house
rent The third district lists show in null
titude of cases enormous incomes, piled up
| from the gains of trade in New York city by
the merchants who have their palatial resi-
above East River. Worthy of note is the fact,
which shows the good pay of divinity and lit
erature, that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
gives his income for 1868 at $3S PAS.
House-moving which takes place on the
first day of May, when the household prop
erty of half of New York and Brooklyn is
seen in the street, is the great topic Of con-
versation just now. Rents are high but little
easier obtainable than last year. The differ
ence, however, is not so great as it appears
it should be from the great falling off in in
comes. People who complain of high rents
should recolect the expensive process of
building house in these times. The plas-
tarer must have IS per day of eight hours,
and the bricklayer 50 per day of ten hours,
and the carpenter 81 to $5 per day for ten
hours, and eight hours on Saturday. And
yet the mechanics who get these high rates
of pay for their daily labor, are the very
persons, with others, who complain about
high rents. The arrangements for building
are on an extensive scale for year to come
1t has been said that under all vicissitudes
in business, New York is always full and run
ming over.
The New York Conference of the Method
ist Church held sessions in the city seyera
days last week, and reunion meeting o
the New York and New York East Confer

New York is claimed as the cradle of Meth

world and not for himself alone. A few days
ago he was in this city, investigating the laws
which should control the erection of halls. l
fear the results of his investigations, which
must be valuable, since he always puts SO
much conscience into his work, are not left in
an available form. He said he found archi-
tects sadly at fault with regard to the erection
of halls, and so he was thrown upon his own
resources l suggested that, perhaps, the old
Roman Vitruvius, might afford him some aid.
"If So" said he, then would gladly shake
hands with old Vitruvius," meaning, suppose
that he would gladly form his acquaintance.

THE SNEAK TATTLER.-The most
odious and disgusting mortal in human
form-when once you penetrate the hyp-
ocritical guise that covers the deformity
lis the sneak tattler. In this thing
which originates in the moral sweeping
of the universe, you will find inordinate
self esteem, meanest kind of jealousy
mine of vanity, malice enough to stock
regiment of Thugs, liliputian soul, and
a heart black as Erebus. In treachery q
Turk-in moral coarseness a cannibal in
humanity an Algerine; in selfishness
Shylock and in low cunningan Iago.-
The sneak tattler adroitly aad stealthily
commences his dirty work by first eau
tiously dropping here and there word of
inuendo in families he is allowed to visit,
and if he finds he is listened to, he then
proceeds step by step, more elaborately
and openly, to berate his victim, general
ly promising, by stating his deep regrets
that things are thus and so. and frequent
ly is loud in giving the assailed credit in
minor matters of little or no consequence
the more effectually to deceive aud
conceal his purpose-while he stabs him
in the most vital part, and always seeks to
cover his polluted tracks from betrayal un--
der the time-honored sanction OF private
confidence.

disciples to little spending money!
They may be still more ready to believe
that with these Beechers money is the
"chief endo that the Rev. Henry breaches
to his Plymouth flock, and that the church
itself exists mainly for the splendid divi-
dends on its stock!" m D
Such filings at eminent divines and re-
spectacle churches in the North may do
little toward enlightening the public mind,
or leading it in the right direction; they
may do less still toward breaking down
the dividing wall Of prejudice between the
two sections, which is little harmful to the
North, but ineomparably a more serious
evil to the South than all the carpet-bag-
gers and negro voters on its soil. But as
ticklers on public sentiment, they may
pay-at least for time. 7"
The idea of the saintship of Judas is
scarcely original with the Rev. Charles,
the celebrated commentator, DR.. Adam
Clark (if we mistake not) having preceded
him in suggesting the possibility of the sal
vation of Judas, despite his Unprecedented
treason to his Master.
That scripture which says the Beechers
shall not attempt to make money, and the
one which denounces them, or other clergy
men, as "sinners above all others" if they
do make it, provided it is properly used),
have escaped our recollection. We can't
just now call them to mind. Those who
know the Beechers best will find it equally
difficult to cali to mind any fact to justify
the insinustion that they are worshipers Of
Mammon rather than worshipers of God,
while they may feel confidence, that if it
were proper to make public, what should
not generally be told to ones own left
hand, the Rev. Henry could easily show,
both for himself and his church, that his
and their aims and charities would not suf-
fer by comparison with those Of any chris
tian millionaire of the South.
Still, if it pays to hit the Beechers, pitch
in. They may survive it.
