1t has so often been said that it requires
n good deal of native genius and acquired
learning to keep hotel" that we should not
here reiterate the truism, If it had not received
q fresh illustration in the fact that Mr.. Beverly
Tucker, late of the late Confederate State of
Virginia, has determined to devote his talents
to this highly respectable occupation. His hos

templated the taxing of certain promises to
pay; and, not being fully advised as to the
immaculate purity of Wall-st., that body pre-
surned that there, as in the unregenerate and
more rural portions Of the country, when
Brown lends money to Smith, he usually, in
exchange therefor, receives some written ac-
acknowledgement of the transaction, which is an
evidence of indebtedness--and that is the paper
that they proposed to tax five cents on each 500.
1t is quite possible that the inventive genius
of the street is equal to evading or avoiding
the tax intended 10 be imposed. We are
under the impression that in these transactions
there is usually made memorandum, in addi-
ton to the book entries mentioned by our
correspondent viz. a memorandum upon the
outside of the envelope containing the securi-
ties and showing briefly the character OF the
transaction. Whether it is such memorandum
as to come within the Stamp law, we will not
undertake to say. If not, then Wall-st has
succeeded in evading the spirit ii not the
letter of the act for it is obvious that the in
tention of Congress was to tax the lending of
money; but that body may not have succeeded
in describing with sufficient miruteness the
proper evidences of such transactions to meet
the shrewdness Of our inventive bankers.
0. 1t is to be presumed that bankers are about
as patriotic as the average of our citizens, and
it is barely possible that they might have
loaned their money to better advantage than
to have invested it in Government securities.
But banks generally put their money where
they expect to receive good returns from it.
They possess about as much human nature as
other folks, and like to make money by
investing In Government. We have never
heard Of their making any very bad
bargains in that line; and as for the risk of
the investment, it must be admitted that the
security was quito ample, since the Govern
ment loans were and are practically mort
gage upon the whole real and personal prop
erty of the United States.

The comments of the London journals, given
elsewhere, show that Mr.. Motley is sure of
cordial welcome. There is a tinge of contempt
in the final sentence accorded by The Times
to Mr.. Reverdy johnson: 1--WE shall lose a
genial and indefatigable speech-maker, but
/" shall gain in exchange gentleman who
"will be understood on both sides of the ocean
"to say only what the great mass of his coun-
trymen really mean." The general tone Of
the English press serves to indicate that per-
ception of the actual dimensions of the case in
hand begins, though but slowly, to dawn upon
their comprehension.

THE CITY and COUNTY T1X-LEVIES IN
THE SENATE.


The City and County Tax-Levies for 1869
have been made the special order for Tuesday
in the Senate. The Chairman of the Commit
tee on Municipal Affairs Senator Crowley has
cut them down considerably and for his efforts
in behalf of Our taxpayers he is entitled to
their thanks. Now, we ask all the Republican
members in the Senate not only to sustain
Senator Crowley's efforts, but to do their part
in the direction of economical government for
this tax-ridden city, and cut them down another
million. Senator Banks Dem.) We also learn
has acted the part of an honest and faithful
legislator.
We demand for this City justice and nothing
more, and this we are determined to have, or
fix forerer the responsibility upon those Repub-
lican Senators who deny it to us, and who
pander to the New-York "Ring." We CALL
especially, upon Senators O'DOnnell Parker,
Thayer, Stanford, Hale, Foleer, and Morgan, to
raise their eloquent voices ill behalf of the
millions of their felowctizcns who reside In
this portion of the State. 1t is the Senate OF
the State of New-York which is about to i'm
pose q tax of millions of dollars upon our homes
and property, and not the New York " Ring"
and that Senate is composed OF seventeen Re
publicans and fifteen Democrats. The greater
responsibility, therefore, rests upon the Repub-
lean party.
Senators, we earnestly invite you to make q
record for yourselves, which we can publish TO
your honor. OIL every item of the Tax-Levlcs.
If your vote be to your dishonor and in favor
Of the plunderers of this City, be assured, gem
tlemen. we shall let the world know it. For
once, the tax-levics are before you with ample
time for deliberate investigation and careful
examination Of every item, and the Citizens
Association has placed 1t beyond possibility
for you TO vote in ignorance upon any appro-
pliation, by furnishing you with full printed
analysis of both budgets We are in earnest
about this natter and We intend to
sec where virtue and truth may be
found. We have been plundered in
New York long enough. Senators, we re-
spectfully ask you to do your duty, and we
await an opportunity TO honor You for 1t. New
York is so controlled by an INSCRIPTIONS Ring
that it is out of the question, and would be
suicidal, to permit taxes to be raised here By
the local authorities

What with those who have just lost fine
berths in the Treasury, those who expect TO
lose them, and those who are denied the bertlIs
they Seek Secretary Boutwell, is probably to-
day one of the best abused men in Washington.
We tako the opportunity, therefore, to assure
him that every curse he gets from the office
hunters and the ex-oflice-holders is q measure
of the service for which relieved country
gratefully thanks him. The Secretary has
already discharged, as we reckon, some three
hundred and thirty clerks, and has yet got
through with only three or four of the
Bureaus in his great Department. When
he has dismissed five or six hundred
more, and thus secured an annual saving
of q million and half, he may have brought
his expenses into some sort of proportion to the
appropriations, and we are certain that he will
have left force capable Of doing the entire
work of the Department better than it is done
now. Meantime we congratulate these young
clerks on their happy release from official
bondage. It's good thing to befall them, and
timely withal. The busy season is upon us.
The West and South want this month, this very
week, all the active, energetic, self-helpful
men and women we can spare them. No hui
man being with means enough to cross the
Potomac or the Alleghanes need want for
work; and the rewards it offers were mover
greater. These grumbling Washington clerks
do not know their friends 1t is hardly even
blessing in disguise that has ovcrtakcn them;
it is rather q equine, visible, palpable bene-
dction that bestows upon them at this bright,
promising season. the privilege of independent
labor for the building up OF their own for
tunes. We tender them our hearty congratu
lations on their good luck in getting dismissed;
anG renew to Secretary Boutwell, the thanks
for his recent action which not THE TRIBUNE
alone, but the whole Country, makes haste to
tender.

We are in receipt of friendly letter from

manly hand. To our surprise, however, he
seems TO imagine that we would not attach
sufficient Importance to his name alone, and SO

was needless. Whatever may be the precise
value of his statements about politics, we should
credit them quite rs soon without as with these
doubtful indorsers. And, besides, we find no
difficulty at all in believing the Governor when
he writes to us that the Democratic news
pnpers are in sore need of support, that they
lapguish for subscribers and that orders for them
are generally postponed until the eve OF the
election"-not to say still a little longer. We
assure the Governor that we know all this
now. that we believed it before lie sent us his

VIC still continue to believe it, But since the

frank expression Of our opinion. We fear that
he is committing grievous error. We deny
his right to drum up support, in the
name of the Democracy, for the traitOrous
sheet that, only a few months ago,
sought to betray the Democratic candidates.

CAN 4 NEGRO HCLD OFFICE IN GEORGIA.!
Mr.. Justice Sch)cy, pronounced sly is the
Don Quixote Of CeOrgia-a knight who reyeres
the dark ages but cannot endure black skin.
His hatred to the colorcd people is 30 implaca-
bic as to mislcad lis judgment and betray his
conscience. lie accordingly sezes upon the
first opportunity to show his hostility and yio-
late the trust reposed in him as a Justice of
the Superior Court. But he docs one thing at
least that is admirable. lie boldly meets the
issue declaring the question to be "Can Ne
"gro hold Office in Georgian Not so worthy
of our respect, however, are the solemn So
phistries OF this Georgia Judge, nor the wicked
Judgment that follows the special pleading Of a
lawyer who sits an advocate upon tue bench.
1t seems that one RICHARD w. White, who,
owing to no fault of his own, was born not
quite white, was elected or appointed Clerk
of the Superior Court OF Chatham County,
in the State Of Georgia. Not having the fear
of Judge Schley before his eyes, he entered
mon the discharge of the duties of his Office,
and, for aught that appears or is alleged to
the contrary, performed those duties to the
satisfaction of those whom he served. But
William j. Clements, who is presumed to be a
WAS not pleased. He wanted the Office himself,
and was agonized in soul because he could not
get it. AS sly as Judge Schley himself and
more intrepid than ollce-seekcTs usually are,
lie could not be turned aside by the mere fact
that another man held the place and was not
disposed to leave it. Inspired 10y the action of
the Georgia Legislature he resolved upon deeds
as noble, and accordingly made the astound-
ing discovery that n very vulgar fraction
Of Mr.. Whites ancestry was included IN that
class of whom it was said of old, "Cursed be
"Canaan"-in other words, that lie is niger,
"a person of color, having one-eghth OF negro
" blood in his veins" This fact ia brought TO
the notice of Mr.. Justice Schley upon a writ OF
quo tcarranto. and without denying the allie

the ground of its insufliciency in law. But
Judge Scbley is big with the idea, and goes to
work to keep the niger out OF office with
almost as much elaboration as we could ex-

even went so far as to enable him to sue and
testify in the courts, acquire and hold prop
