The HOSPITALS AND THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Board had a lengthy session yesterday
afternoon, in which the reports on the memo
rails of the Medical Society and the Trustees
of the Roper Hospital were read and adopted.
The Roper Hospital now stands alone, as its
propositions have been rejected, and it is un-
derstood that an order will be issued from
headquarters directing that the seven thou
sand dollars heretofore paid by the State
to that institution be turned over to the
CITY,. If this is enforced it will compel
closing Of the Hospital, and a treaty has been
made to rent the building from the Trustees
for city purposes. The whole matter will,
however, be discussed in Council this evening.

TIE VERY COLD and sharp weather which has
been prevailing at the North and the conse-
. ouent obstruction by ice and other causes OF
Northern harbors, has delayed shipments OF

vented filing orders from the country with
that dispatch which is Sd desirable; but short
spell of moderate westhar, which We are soon

Taxation Of Luxuries

1t has always been the boast of the radi'
Gals that the taxes under their admlnIsTa'
ton are levied on luxurles, and tea, coffee,
and tobacco are instanced rs the leading
luXuries on which the tax is laid the heavl'
est. These are the luxuries Of the poor, II
thew are luxures at all, and they are the
only luxuries which have come to be ne
cessitv Tea and coffee, by long habit,
have become almost as mucha necessity at
the poor mans table as bread They constitute
about the only thing, not absolutely necessary
to the support Of life, that poor families are
accustomed to, and hence, we fail to see the
Justice in taxing these articles to such a
degree as to put them ont OF the reach OF
this class Of citizens or subject them to a
very oppressive tax that they are but i'll
able TO pay. This is what radicals call ia
yoring the poor man. There is no house
hold in the country on the table Of which
either tea or coffee is not found if the cir
cumstances of income do not forbid. While
champagne is found on the table Of wealth,
poverty contents itself with coffee or tea.
These are emphaticaly the beverages Of the
poor, and he Is no friend Of the poor, who,
by taxation, places them beyond their reach,
or renders them so expensive that bis means
will not allow him to indulge his desire for
them. ...
TO show how the radical party has en-
upon the poor mans domain, by
the prices of these articles Of
common use, we give the retail prices Of the
articles in 1860, before they were raised 80
high by tax, also now, when a radical con.
gress, under the name of Injuries, has
placed them almost beyond the reach Of the
labOrer:

The Chicago Post is the most presumptu-
ous sheet in creation, we believe. 1t pre-
sumes that Grants conduct subsequent to
1860 has been such as would have been the
great advocate ofsquatter sovereignty, Doug
las.
Would Douglas have accepted OF Dicta.
torship?
Would Douglas have set the will of a par
ty above the constitution?
Would Douglas have pledged his word to
perform certain acts and then forfeited
hY #..
Would Douglas have refusd 10 exchange
prisoners of war because he was afraid of
those he should hberate2
Would Douglas have reported in favor of
the full reception of the rebel states into the
Union, and then eaten his own words?
Would Douglas have swung around the
circle without saying sensible word the
whole distance?
Would he have swung around the circle
and tacticly given his assent 10 the presiden-
tial enuReiatlons, and then gone back on
them
Would Douglas have cast himself into the
arms, and submitted himself to the keeping
of the enemies Of the constitution?
Everybody knows he would have done
none Of these things, and everybody knows
that Gen. Grant has done them. 1t is not
only presumption to say Douglas would have
done as Grant has done, but it is vile SIAN
der of the illustrious dead.
