WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
The Committee on Reconstruction
this morning examined the Mississippi!
Republican Committee, who presented
various arguments with data 10 show
why the votes of seven counties should
be thrown out of the count, principally
onthe ground of fraud ,irregularlties and
intimidation. With this exclusion they
say the Constitution of that State has
been ratified by about 300 votes.
The Committee on Ways and Means
had before them this morning number
of dealers in tobacco from New York,
who went TO effect change in the law
on that subject.
Legislation will he partially suspend
ed on Wednesday afternoon I'LL a after the
recess. rs Thursday and perhaps Fri
day will be devoted exclusively to an
nouuCeInents of the death of Messrs.
Thaddeus Stevens, FIulay, Kinds and
Mann. Many members will leave for
thoIr homes previous TO Monday.
A bill has been prepared, which will
probably be introduced in Congress in
II day or two, which will provide for the
redemption OF the present nickle cOIu-
age at the office of the Treasurer and
Assistant Treasurer of the United
States, its place to be supplied by new
series of small coin in circulation.

deliberately violated its sworn duty,
apparently TO put its friends in the

Taxation In Ohio County and the city
wheeling.

Taxation Ia Ohio County md thc CIt >
orWheclInE.
To the Senate and House of DslcgatcS o.
the State Of WCSt Yirgi'IiG.
The undersigned citizans and tax,
payers OF the City OF Wheeling i'll said
State respectfully represent, that they
are buIdened and oppressed by enor.
nous taxes. levied as they believe
mainly for local, county and municipal
purposes. They believe that 1t cOnsid
cradle portion OF these expenses are
wholly useless and ought to be abol,
ished.
AS the law now stands assessors are
elected or appointed to assess the tax
able property of the city for city pur.
poses. That there are collectors elected
or appointed 10 collect the city and
township taxes.
Your petitioners can see no reason
why the city taxes may not be levied
upon the assessment made for State
and County purposes, aud collected by
the Sheriff and paid over by him to the
city and township treRsurers.
If the offices of city assessor and city
and township collectors are abolished,
and all the taxes are collected by the
Sheriff. his fees for the collection of
taxes may be greatly reduced.
The taxes levied and collected in
>
considerably exceed $500 600.
The percentage paid the Sheriff for
collection is per cent. when paid
within the time prescribed by law. and
~ per cent. when payment Is delayed
beyond the time prescribed.
The fees of the Sheriff for the colleC-
ton of taxes alone must be somewhere
from Sl2 600 10 $4,000, besides the
amount received on licenses and for
the service OF process and other duties
devUlving upon him as minesterial oii =
Ger OF the Courts.
Your petitioners therefore pray that
the offices of city assessor and collector
and township collector may be abol-
ished.
That the city taxes may be levied
on the assessment OF taxable property
made for State and County purposes.
Thst all taxes may be collected by
Thu; The fees OF the Sheriff may be
reduced and graduated by the amount
collected.
That he may receive per cent upon
the first s25, 900 collected, SI,250: 8 per
cent on the next SOS 600, $50. and per
cent on the next SIS 600. $500 and per
cent for all over S75, 600, SO that If he
collects 5000. coo, his ices on the Sl25, GOO,
will be 81 $50. making So. $50 for the col
lection of taxes alone.
Your petitioners believe that Dy abnl-
ishiDg these useless offices and reduc-
ing the charges foE collecting to reas-
enable compensation, the taxpayers of
Ohio county will save upwards of
Sl0,0 900 per annum.
Your petitioners further represent that
they believe il is very important that
the Board of Supervisors should be re-
quired by law, imediAtely after their
annual settlement, to make and publish
Il detailed statement of the receipts and
expenditures OF the County. Aud your
petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever
pray, sc.
