CITY TAXES AND LICENSES.

Mayor Conway has signed the ordinance
requiring licenses and taxes due the city to
be paid in greenbacks. If taxpayers and
parties whose business requires a city IL
cense will pay into the treasury the same
currency which they receive for tents, sales
of merchandise, etc., the finances o. the
city will Immediately be placed on
healthy footing. Let economy in expendi-
lures accompany this reform, and three
quarters of a million of dollars can be set
aside annually for the redemption OF out
standing city notes,
Taxpayers and newspapers can, by
resort to the courts, compel the city to take
its own notes in liquidation of claims held
against them by the city; and the
temptation to buy up city notes
at forty per cent discount is GER
tainly very strong to any man whose
taxes and licenses amount to from one hun
bred TO thousand dollars. But when it is
considered that The impaired credit of the
city can be improved by paying green
backs into the treasury, and that material
reduction of expenses can be made there
By the temptation to buy city money to
pay city dues with loses its attraction, for
if taxpayer saves forty per cent by buy
ing deprecated money to pay into the city
treasury. he loses more than that amount
by the increased expenditures of the city
government consequent upon the payment
Of its obligations in a deprecated cur
rency, City money has ceased to be cur
rent. Nobody holds ii or buys it, except
for speculative purposes. Let it rest
where it is until the city can redeem it dol
lar for dollar.

every honest journal. The Times will,
therefore, be wide awake and on hand to
watch the acts aud votes of members of the
Legislature in the approaching session, and
to hold to their proper responsibility to the
people and to the world, all, without regard
to their political relations, who are con-
cerned in transactions of corrupt, fraudu'
lent, immoral character.
If the representatives of all the virtues
behave in such manner as to evoke re-
Dukes from their pensioned champions, and
elicit threats of exposure, what can be ex-
peeted from those OF lower grade of
morals Here tofore, it has been thought
a sufficient passport to distinction on the
part OF the newly enfranchised to initiate
the honesty of the chosen of the "white
people" but if they too go estray, whom
shall our Republican friends follow:
How fortunate circumstance it is that
there are so few of these bad Democrats,
these corrupt Legislators, in the General
Assembly! We're they in a majority, the
poor Times man would have his hands full
to keep them from committing the gravest
offenses. But as they are in helpless
minority, they can not effect anything
without first corrupting and leading aside
from the paths of virtue a number of un-
suspecting Republicans. The Ti7lesi is
right, therefore, in attributing to its Demo-
cratic friends large share Of responsible
ty for the bribery and corruption that have
heretofore been charged upon the whole
Legislature. We do not arraign all the
Democratic members, as we know of two
or three who stand well in the estimation
Of good men; but the charges of the Times
are exactly applicable to an overwhelm-
ing majority Of its partisaDs. 1t would be
an interesting fact to know that these fell
lows are to be watched and exposed, but
no one supposes that any serious bite will
follow such furious barking.
Every member of average intelligence
readily sees into the causes which have led
to this sudden outburst of virtue, and can
as readily suggest remedy as mother
can soothe a squaling child, Whether
they will endure the noise or quiet the
child is a question to be settled in Demo
cratic caucus. One thing is certain: No
amount of watching, threatening, exposure,
or anything the Times can do, will work
in the Democratic party. But
that is not its object.

THE MODEL POST OFFICE.

The postmaster has given notice that on
and after the first of January, the posting
of written lists OF letters will cease. We
are glad of this, for these written lists have
had the effect to render delivery clerks i'm
pertinent. Instead OF looking for letters in
answer to inquiries they have insolently
told people to look on the written lists
Such impertinence would not be tolerated
moment in any other post Office, though
the clerks have asserted it to be the duty
of parties inquiring for letters to examine
the lists, instead of performing their own
duty of examining the letters.
But even for this reform the public owe
no thanks to Postmaster Smallwood. Tie
Postoface Department has instructed him in
his duty. He needs yet further instrue-
lions in how to do the general business of
his office. He knows perfectly well how
not to do it. He obtained that information
intuitively.
Hereafter the Office will be kept open
from eight A. M. until eight p. M, on week
days. On Sundays from eight A. NJ. until
eleven A. N.
