The people Of this city are plundcrcd by their
Office holders in many forms, but the great
grab is found in the Tax-Levy, made annually
for the support of the City Government, and
for other purposes not appearing in the title of
the act. How few know or care anything about
this TaxLevy! And yet, every man who pays
ront, every man who pays board, every man
who buys provisions or any kind of merchandise
is affected by this enormous tery en- mdsse
on the peoples property. Let not the
poor man think he escapes. He Is the
chief victim, and the one most to be
pitied The landlord pays his tax, but he
adds it to the tenants rent. The merchant, the
butcher, the baker the grocer, all pay their
tax; but they add it to the price of their goods.
The Door man is the ultimate sufferer; and,
when those who live by labor come to under
stand that these Tobberes come finally out Of
their pockets, they will put stop to public
plundering, or do violence to those who rob
them. To impress upon the poorer classes the
great lesson that they suffer from fraudulent
taxation is great duty resting on all who
come in contact with them. Joseph Bonaparte
said that gold, in its last analysis, is the sweat
Of the poor and the blood of the brave. So the
money .wrlng out of property, in the shape OF
taxes, comes finally out of the poor man and
woman Let all who must have food and
lodgings at their own expense watch this legis-
lation in city taxes What is the manner of
making this Tax-Levy? Ii is the main purpose
of this article to answer this question. For
merly, we were cursed with but one bad City
Government, commonly called "the Corpora
"tion.r But that devil has taken to itself another
devil worse than itself, and now we are afflicted
with another City Government called the Board
of Supervisors. The latter was intended rs
check on the former; but in this city every new
check operates as a new expense-a new process
of extortion-a new source of bribery and cor
ruptlon-a new "way not to do it" without a
fee. Give us one check more, to necessitate
new bargains and new divisions of the spoils,
and our ruin will be complete.
Having two City Governments, we have two
tax levies, just as We have an unnecessary
double set of overpad Ofiicc-hoderS. The
Controller gets up two budgets, ostenslbly
based upon replies made to his questions by
the different City Departments But many OF
the returns of the departments are vague and
indefinite. and are intended to he so. Instead
of requiring more detailed information, the
Controller kindly makes up estimates to
suit himself, which are often arbitrary and
unnecessary, giring no details or particulars.
He sends one of those bills of denominations
Called the County Budget to the Supervisors,
and the other Called the City Budget he sends
to the Common Council. When this proceeding

Wednesday of this week is the last day for
the registration of voters in the country towns,
excepting those whose qualifications mature
between that day and the day of election,
April g. There are great many Republicans
absent from the State whose names are not
recorded, and doubtless gOOdly number who
have become qualified to vote since the last
election. They should lose no time in getting
their names in. Do not put it Oft until the
last day when you may fail by some accidental
delay to reach the proper place. Go to-day !;
don't trust the possible contingency of q rail-
road smash on Wednesday. 1t should DO the
boast of Connecticut, however the election may
result that her Republicans rival those of New
Hampshire in perfect organization and active
zeal .-t'
Republicans of Connecticut! yOH have a hard
fight at the best. The enemy, singing under
their failure in New Hampshire, and in des-
perate need of a victory at any cost, are strain
ing their utmost nerve TO defeat you and re-
elect Gov. English. One vote withheld on our
side may do the business. Do not lose that
one vote. Register ut once; see that your Re
publican friends are also registered; let no ap-
peals of business keep you away. If every Re
publican vote is cast we shall carry the State
10y a glorious majority, in spite of the tricks
and struggles of the Democracy. Look To the
registry tO-ddU.

Nev- York, March 81. 1868.

A cause is pending in the Court of Chancery
Mt Louisville in which 80 men of color seek to
recover the sum of $500 each, bounty moneT
paid by the city authorities to the masters by
whom they had previously been held in servi-
tude. The defense admits the facts, but denies
that they were free men, and justifies the pay
ment of the money to their former masters on
the ground that they were and are slaves. The
Court of Appeals Of Kentucky having decided
that the act of Congress authorizing the enlist
ment Of slaves and declaring enlisted slaves
free is unconstitutional, the defendant demurred
to the petition, and asked that the case De dis.
missed with costs. This course was also de-
sired by the plaintiffs, who wished to take tho
case to the Supreme Court of the United States.
but the demurrer was Overruled on the ground
that it does not appear on the petition that the
plaintiffs were slaves when enlisted The Sc
quence of the demurrer that they could not
maintain action on the allegation OF the pet-
ton that they were free men of color goes
with the demurrer, and the Court OF Appeals
may have an opportunity to reverse lis former
decision. The Chancery Court of Louisville
least seems disposed to acknowledge negroes
as men having rights under the laws OF the
United States.

The latest Greek accounts on the Canadian
war mention another battle between Turks and
Greeks, in which two hundred Turks are sad
to have been killed; the landing of Gen. Coro-
neos at Canea and another official bulletin
from the Provisional Government on the out
RACES committed by the Turks. We are not
prepared to guarantee the absolute correct
ness of the Greek accounts of the Canadian war;
but in view of the latest Greek dispatches there
can be no doubt that the Cable dispatch which
recently announced the entire suppression of
the instruction was a pure invention.

ness railroad can do depends wholly on the
cheapness with which it will do 1t, and the IN
ducements it will hold out to immigration and
settlement on its line. We appreciate the ex-
cuses alleged for the rates charged by the
Union PaciGc-that its coal for fuel has cost it
from s2S TO sac per tun. its wood from SlS to
800 Der cord, its iron $50 per tun, and that
labor and living Oh its route are thlrd
to half higher than on any Eastern
routes. Many of the materials OF daily
use which other roads have at hand must be
Transported from five hundred TO one thousand
miles before they can be used. All this Is
true, and it is for all this that the Govern
ment provided that SOL 100000 Of United States
bonds should be- issued to the Company
to pay their expenses of building the
road and having paid for these in
convenences once III bonds, the people
ought not to be compelled to pay for them
again in freights and fares. For it is very
general belief that the bonds issued have
nearly or quite paid the expenses OF construc-
ton of the road. If they have not, we
should be glad to publish at any time an
exact statement, showing what the TO-
tai expenses of construction have been
and how much thereof have been paid for by
the proceeds of the bonds and for how much
the Company has gone into its own pockets.
Upon this point the statements OF members OIL
Congress conflict, and it would be well to
throw some authoritative light upon 1t. Both
roads have moro than paid their running
expenses during the past year, the Union
Pacific making a profit of half million dol
lars, and the Central Pacific of thrice that sum-
A railway company which is supplied with the
money to build road, and which enjoys a

ton to reduce them was referred to
the Pacific Railroad Committee, which
is regarded as present defeat of the project,
we trust, in the interest of the whole people of
the country, whom the road was designed to
! benefit. and in the interest of the Company 1t
