EQUALIZATION OF STATE TAXES.

Heretofore, through some want of interest
on the part of our local officers the City of New
York has borne much more than its fair share
of the State Tax. The amount to be paid by
each county has been proportioned to the value
of the real and personal estate Of the respective
counties, as regulated by the local assessors
thereof Hence it may be seen that the local
assessors of county, by unfairly keeping
down the aggregate of the property in that
county, get rid of portion of the State Tax.
The State Board Of Equalization, created in
1859, was instituted for adjusting the inequali
ties existing between the counties in this re-
gard 1t is the duty of this Board 20 see to it
that each county bears its just proportion of
the State Tax. We are glad to learn that this
subject of State Taxation is awakening the
most lively interest, especially in this City, and
that the Citizens Association of New-York has
taken the matter under its active influence,
with view of having substantial justice done
to this city. We think it great injustice that
one half of the whole State Tax should be
levied upon New-York City. In its argument
before the Board of Equalization at Albany
last Tuesday, the Citizens Association took
the position boldly that this City did not
possess more than one-third of the wealth of
the State. We trust that the Association will adj
here to this position. and we trust also that the
arguments which were laid before the Board
of Equalization will have the effect of obtain
ing for our City the relief it so much demands
The figures which the Association relies upon
are, in our opinion substantially correct, and
lead to the conclusions which the Association
deduces. The undervaluatiOns in the cities
outside of NewYork City are most startling,
and call for the severest scrutiny and action
on the part of the Board of Equalization.
New-York City should not suffer because most
of the other portions of the State conceal their
We have seen list of the property
as assessed by the local assessors in the cities
outside of New-York City, and we venture to
say that in nearly every city on the list the
estimated amount of the property is less than
One-fifth of the true value thereof. The State
Board of Equalization last year placed the
property of New-York City, as basis for the
State Tax, at about eight hundred millions of
dollars. We trust that these figures will be
reduced.

A British Scientific Association which rejects
a Lord for its President and chooses instead
an audacous speculator with dash of skepti-
csm, is at least emancipated from that profound
British respect for the long established and the
generally accepted which stands SO much in
the way of genuine scientific progress. The
spirit which preferred Prof. Huxley to Lord
Stanley showed itself also in other features of
the proceedings at the late annual meeting in
Exeter, of which our correspondent elsewhere
gives birdseye view. 1t is noticeable that
while the sessions of our American Association
stin provoke the complaints of the attendants be-
cause of their lack of popular interest, such com
plants seem in England to be dying out Good,
hearty conflicts between Doctors of Divinity
and irreverent Darwinians there prove spice
for the heavier fare and even the ladies take
such interest in the proceedings as to discuss
the relative interest of Biological and Chemical
Sections, and to crowd the halls of each.

IMPERIALISM SICK.
frage.

In the news that Napoleon is getting better
the rreconcilable enemies of Imperialism Will
find occasion to lament that France Is to that
extent growing worse. But we are not even
now prepared TO accept report which comes
TO us hot from panic in the money market,
and which in several guarded shapes conveys
still doubt that bids US reasonably fear for the
life of the French monarchy. Napoleon at more
than sixty years of age, worn with the consum-
ing cares of empire, and with subtle disease,
is still sick, it may be unto death. The world
is thoroughly forewarned that at any day one OF
its greatest actors may pass out OF its scene
with more fatal circumstances of catastrophe
than when he entered it. Napoleon sick is to
present appearances the Empire dying; and
the panic of the Bourse, the call of his En-
press and child to his bedside, and the late
signal and rOcket-like expressions Of. Prince
Napoleon in the form of Liberalism, all more
or less point the moral that emperors and en-
pires are subject to the final dscrowning.
Yet it might prove unseemly to pray for or
to exult in what appears to be the impending
calamity to NapOleonism. We set too high an
estimate on the Emperor's value to the exist
ing economy of France, false as it is as sys-
TEN, mortally perniciOus as it must prove If
carried to the Imperial extreme, to view with
anything but solemn seriousness his with
drawal from q work which, whether i'll or well
done, has had the sufferance of one OF the
most revolutionary peoples in the world. and has
tasked the intellect and energy of one of the
most astute and vigorous political students and
workers of his time. Napoleon Obeyed too
manifest a call, and in some respects neces-
sity unrighteous though that necessity may
have been, to be set aside in history rs merely
a charlatan with crown upon his head.
After all, he represented the aspra-
tons of a large number of Frenchmen, and
has held power not so much by his own
strength as by the strength of the fact that
his government stood for the imperfection of
his people. The doctrine of his life is summed
up in his published conceptions of the repre-
sentative nature of the Ciesarian or NapoleOnic
principle. If he has made this principle the
basis of code and creed, 50
has France in a great measure; and
now that fate warns him that his work will
soon be over, let us be ready to acknowledge
that bad rs any perpetuated principle of Ma
pOleOnism must be, and hateful as in some
points of view the rule of the last Napoleon
must seem to inpatient patriots he might have
made worse monarch, and left poorer
France. If he had not heart, the world may
thank him for having had intellect When he
dies it is probable that something of France
will die with him, and for this paramount rea-
son his death will be anything but personal
event.
