Mr.. Peter Cooper, in behalf of the Citizens
Association, calls attention, in another column,
to the fact that, in consequence of the unequal
valuation (for purposes of assessment) OF prop
erty throughout the State, this City pays about
one-half of all the taxes for general State pur-
poses. The facts stated by Mr.. Cooper are sug-
gestive, and the Board of State Assessors, who
have authority to equalize taxation, should see
to it that the property throughout the
State contribute their proper share toward the
support of the State Government.

Legislation grows, more and more, to be a
long-wnded business. The General Court OF
Massachusetts, has just adjourned after ses-
sion of one hundred and seventy days-"the
"longest on record, and five days longer than
1.-THE session of last year." Here arc nearly
six months of the year expended in making
laws-i. e., the State, for about half the time,
is engaged in amending old enactments and
manufacturing new ones. We cannot help
thinking that this proves nothing more clearly
than ignorance of the business in hand II
Senators and Representatives knew how to do
the work it would unquestionably be done
more quickly. AS it is, it is the poor Common
wealth that pays for the cObbling and blum
dering of these representative gentlemen. The
payroll of the Senate alone amounts to
$34,56O. OF course that of the House is much
larger; and what has the State to show for the
money!

THE GUELPH GRIEyANCR.

We are disposed TO think that English news
papers upbraid their Queen with no little In
Justice for the isolated life which she continues
TO lead. We have before us recent article
which inquiries why she does not Consult
scientific men7" why she does not improve
"the dramai" why she does not "give an
impetus to tradef" why she does not guide
"the caprces of fashion :" why she does not
hold Court why she does not oftener leave
the secluson of Osborne or Balmoralf We
would venture to suggest that the reason is to
be found in the political history of the reign
of George III. That monarch, when in his
senses, was engaged in perpetual struggle for
royal prerogative, in which he was fairly beaten
by the Whg Lords and by the House of Com
mons.
Since that time, the sovereigns of England
have been rulers only in name; have been
pretty much without political influence; and
any interference upon their part with the gov
ernment of the empire has been warmly resent
ed 1t is safe to say that both George ~ and
William w. had far less political power than
their Prime Ministers, than many of
the nobility, than many of the Bishops.
This diminution of royal authority, this
exclusion of the monarch from the administra-
tion of public affairs, has borne its legitimate
fruit in that utter insignidcance of the Queen
which, whether she submits TO it with resigna
tiOn or indifference, naturally leads her to leave
the State in the hands of her Ministry and Of
Parliament, and to seek for occupation and
amusement in private life. She may well
shrink from being n mere puppet, q simple
writing machine TO sign Acts of Parliament,
an excuse for pageantry, q wonder to be gaped
at, the central figure of q procession, and
merely the chief performer in the laborious
formnlitics of the drawing room. She can

An occasional correspondent sends us from
Washington some notes upon the Indian policy
of the Administration, which bear upon the
whole a cheerful aspect. The new Commits
sioner, Gen. Parker, seems to be energetic and
capable, and has already brought terror and
defeat to the Indian Rings. But from the
Quakers we are warned that little can be ex-
pected. Eighteen agents were nominated on
the recommendations of the Society of Friends,
but only nine were confirmed by Congress. A
little leayen will go a great way, but it will
take more than nine Quakers to purify the
Indian Bureau.

The change which occurred yesterday in
President Grants Cabinet was not unexpected.
Secretary Borie has never permitted himself to
regard his position as other than temporary;
and the dispatches are doubtless correct
in saying that he has remained so
long only to give the President time
to select satisfactory successor. Attorney
General Robson of New-Jersey, who succeeds
to the vacant Department, is an able and sin
cere supporter of the Administration, and a
public man not known so much for seeking
Office as for having office on one or two i'm
portant occasions seeking him.

The inevitable mferiorty of negro to q
white man is pointedly illustrated by one or
two facts in letter from North Carolina
printed on our 18th page About half the
colorod children in the schools of that State
children born, of course, during the existence Of
tho patriarchal system-are so nearly white
that nobody can tell to which race they APP
proach the closer, but since the war has given
the freedmen the control of their own families
amalgamaton has almost wholly ceased, proving
that il was the whites, not the blacks, who
were responsible for it of old. The colOred
people arc going TO school with great assduity,
and are supposed to have contributed moro
money for education in 1888 than tine whites.
About 10000 of them in North Carolina have
learned to read since the close of the war;. and
probably not 10000 whites in the same State have
acquired that much education during the same
period. Of course it must be evident from this
that the social and political elevation of the
freedmen is u sin against God aud nature
not to say moral impossiblity. As further
illustration of the effect of tho Curse of Canaan
in keeping white people upon higher
plano than the rest Of mankind, we
may add that the Northern gentlemen
and ladies who have sacrificed home
comfort for the purpose of teaching these poor
colored people are sometimes treated with every
kind of indignity by the hightoned white

Gen. Buceta is the third prominent COM
mandcr who has had to fly for life from the
anger of the Spanish volunteers in Cuba. But
these volunteers have done one creditable act
if the Havana dispatches be true. They have
of their own accord given up the harbor forts
which they garrisOned, in pledge of their sub
missive loyalty to the Government at Madrid
That they are OverpOwered by the difficulties
of their situation is, no doubt, the case; but
they show no sign of repentance for having
sent away Dulce.

While the Boston newspapers are bursting with
rage over the remarks of New-York writers on
the great Jubilee of Peace, and sending us all
TO the demnition dogs as a parcel of ruff
tianly critics. because we ventured to speak
our honest opinions, it is gratifying to know
that there are men in Boston who are quite
sane on this subject as on others, and capable
of talking about the Jubilee like rational and
temperate beings. We lay before our readers
this morning the first of two letters from one
of the very highest musical authorities in
America, reviewing the week of noise and dis
cussng its meaning. 1t is with no slight graft
ticatiOn that we perceive how completely the
reports which we published last week from our
special correspondents are justified in all essential
particulars by this distinguished critic. He
agrees with us in appreciating the unparalleled
energy and good management which crowned
the festival with such magnificent popular sue
cess he praises heartily what was really worthy
of praise in the performance but he cannot
shut his eyes to the obvious defects and is too
honest to hold his tongue. What the Jubilee
has done for art he purposes discussing in
another letter-if The Boston Transcript kindly
spares his life and ours.

We have not of late years had frequent oc-
casion TO speak kindly of The National Inteti-
genera journal that has long seemed to us
to have outlived alike its usefulness and the
men who gave it character and force-and yet
we cannot help saying that we are almost sorry
to hear of its having, in a decrepit old age,
starved to death. 1t was, in Its day,
n great name in the land, and sometimes per-
haps even great power. Never quite so zeal
Gus to defend the right as to uphold its party,
and wholly incapable, when that Whg party
fell to pieces, of rising to the hight of the
occasion, it went thence steadily downward.
The progress of modern journalism had left
it wholly in the background; and as
the political position of its widely
respected conductors became of less conse-
quence, it ceased to exert Rppreciable effect
on the course of public affairs. For some time
it had little beside its dignity to recommend
it, and under the management following Col.
Seaton's death it lost its dignity. 1t was time
for the old newspaper to die, and yet Wash
ington will seem n less familiar place without

and was denied the privilege of at
tending the calls of nature. During
the time this poor man was strapped
to the rigging, a sailor was detected in
the act OF supplying him with little
bread. For this act the humane sailor
was put in irons for three days.
We are informed the same tyranni-
cal officer, instead of supplying the
crew with American bread, OF which
there was an abundance, slowed it
away, and gave his men Portuguese
bread in its stead. The men assert
that, after the arrival of the Guard in
Lisbon, the American bread was sold,
and the proceeds went into some
bOdy's pocket.
Each vessel in the navy carries a
paymaster, whose duty it is to pay
the men a monthly percentage of their
wages. When the Guard arrived in
Lisbon its paymaster disappeared for
several days, and the men received no
money, and went without until they
arrived in this city. They laid their
case before the commanding officer, a
young STRIPPING, but were repelled
with abusive and profane language,
and told to go about their business.
Such is the story of the man. 1t
may be Overdrawn, but the charges
seem to be explicit, and deserve in
vestigatiOn. These sailors say their
clothing cost three times as much as
it did before the war. Frequently on
arriving in port, men have found that
they were absolutely indebted to the
Government, although they had not
received a cent of pay during their
voyage, the paymaster figuring out an
Indebtedness on account OF an over
draWaI of clothing.
The facts in the case Ofthe stOreship
Guard can be substantiated by the
whole crew, who are at present in
this city.

Further Proceedings Of the Liquor

CHICAGO, November 25.-The. Con-.
vention OF liquOr-traders, before ad-
iourning yesterday afternoon, elected
Richard Cherry, of San Francisco,
President, with a Nice-President from
each State represented.
The Convention reaSsembled to-day
at ten O'Clock, and the Committee on
Resolutions reported a series, sub
stantially as follows, which were
adopted:
"'That the tax on distilled spirits
should be collected by direct tax, at
the place of manufacture, sufficient to
cover the present direct and indirect
ttsex, and in this tax should be in
cluded the present direct tax, special
tax ON sales, rectifierS' tax, and
guagefs' and inspectors fees, which
are now imposed, 80 that when the
spirits leave the disuileEy general
trade may be relieved, and be as nee
from annoyance as any other business,
and that, with more simplified form
of collecting the fe%eaue at the distil-
lerv. by a concentration Of the most
efficient officers of the Government at
the point of collecting.

on spirits can be more fully collected,
and a greater revenue obtained by the
Government at far less eApepsS, and
trade relieved of many of the present
unnecessary complications, and that
the simplest way 60 do so IS 10 tax
separately each distillery; and that in
asmuch as private individuals and
coEporatiOns are responsible for the
acts of their agents, so do we think
that the Government should be re-
sponsible for the acts Of its agents,
and on that account should seek the
most efficient and tried officers for pO-
sitions, so that when the spirits once
leave the Government charge, and are
offered for sale, innocent parties should
not be held responsible tor the negli-
gence or dishonesty Of The officials Of
the Government.
THAT we deem the present system
of stamps, marks, etc., as supertiuous
and arbitrary, and that they should
be dispensed with and each party have
the privilege of branding his barrels
and packages, SO a. to designate eX-
actly what they contain.
"That in presenting the above res0-
lullOur, We 10 50 III NllS iull dSSui oilCc
that our interests are identical with
those OF the Government, being its
largest taxpayers, and IS such should
be fully projected, rather than op-
pressed aud trammeled as we now
are, under the existing laws and regu-
lations, and that while cordially en-
dorsing the efforts of Hon. c. Delano,
our present Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, in his endeavors foP the
suppression of frauds in the manufac-
tufe OF distilled spirits, we think that
with more simplifed mode of col
lecting the tax, as expressed ia the
foregoing resolutions, the object c; a
be more readily obtained, and, as
honest dealers, we pledge him our
hearty cooperation.

The Erie Railroad WaF---Heavy
Charges against Fisk.

New YORK, November 25.-At the
special term of the Supreme Court,
held at Delhi, Delaware county, an
order was granted by the Court, on
Tuesday, suspending Jay Gould, Jas.
Fisk, jr., Frederick a. Love, Abram
Gould, NJ. Simons, Geo. Hall, Henry
Smith and Charles q. SissOn as direc-
tors of the Erie Railroad Company.
A referee will be Immediately ap-
pointed in this city to take evidence
in regard to the conduct of the affairs
of the company. TheactiOn has been
commenced by Joseph B. Ramsey, a
well known citizen of Albany, on be-
half of the stockholders and bond
holders of the Erie Railroad. The
plaintiff computes the moneys re-
ceived by the defendants at no less
than S4l, ,293, 900. The items enumer-
ated are: Earnings of the road, Sl9,-
100000; sales of the company's stock,
S15, 900, 600; from Daniel Drew, treas
urer, So, ,543, 900; new issue of bonds,
$3.50, 900. He AYERS that there has not
been kept among the books and re-
cords of the company any account or
tatement of times or amounts of the
creation, issue or sale of such bonds
and stock, nor of the persons to whom
such sales were made, nor of the price
demanded, nor of amounts received
for the same, nor of the use made Of
the proceeds therefrOm; also that they
have had use Of all of said moneys,
and have employed it in immense
stock, gold and other speculations.
In the opinion Of the plaintiff, said
moneys are not in safe custody
Among the enterprises specified in
the complaint, as having been entered
into with the help of the Erie Com=
pany's money, the grand Opera House
figures conspicuOusly, and is evident
ly the result of rings. An endeavOr
to acquire strength for its own puT-
poses has been the formation of an al
iiance with the Tammany. Complain
ants set forth in this connection that
Gould, Fisk 4 Co. have been SYSTEM
atical in the habit of aiding political
elections and movements, and have
used their political influence and Off
cial positions, and haveapplied money
belonging to said company for such
purposes, and further compelling the
cOmpany's agents and employees to
use their influence in connection with
such purpose.
LuieF.-Fisk and Gould have oil.
tained from a Judge of the Supreme
Court an order staying proceedings in
the suit instituted against them by
Jas. II. Ramsey, on behalf Of himself
and other stockholders Of the Erie /
railway. The order is to continue in
force till the decision of the motion Of
which they have given notice to have :
the injunction granted by Judge MUIR
ray dissolved and the order Of suspeE- |
sion vacated. The order has been
served on the plaintiff
