No FAvoRs To INCOMPETENT REVENUE
OFPIoERs.-With regard to removals under
the Treasury Department 1t may be stated
that 1t is the purpose of Secretary Boutwell,
to insist upon the removal of all officers who
fail to collect the revenue. When 1t Is made
apparent to the Secretary that any officer is
derellct In his duty, either through fraud or
negligence, he will be removed, no matter
whether he is q Republican or a Democrat.
As Mr.. Boutwell, is responsible for the col
lection Of the revenue, he considers that II Is
but Just to himself that he should have hon.
est and capable officials under him, as this
is the only way in which the revenue can be
collected. The course heretofore pursued Of
dishonest officials, when detected, hiding
themselves behind party, will not DO coun-
tenanced by Mr.. Boutwell.-Pd'h Corn Y.

Here we have revenue applicable to or
binary purposes, including the cost Of i'm.
provements assessed on private property, OF
nearly 81, 200, 600. purposely omit from
the statement the half million Of dollars pro-
vided by bonds, because, under the law, they
could only be applied to the discharge OF
liabilities contracted prior to the inaugura-
ton Of the present administration. That
the sum above named, II judiciously cx-
pended, would be sufficient for the expenses
OF the corporation, we have every reason to
believe from the satisfaction expressed, and
the encomiums bestowed-I might say boast
| full cncomiums-by the friends Of the ad-
ministration for the magnitude Of the work
and improvements that have been accom-
plished during the political year which has
| lust closed.
Now our duty requires us to prescribe q
rate of taxation under circumstances mate
rally different from those of last year. In.
stead Of basing the rate upon q valuation Of
forty-six millions we are to adapt 1t to value
OF eighty millions. The bill before us pro.
poses to adopt nearly the same rate as last
year, which Is equivalent to nearly doubling
the taxation from this source. l hold that
such an assessment Is neither just, necessary
nor compatible with the public interest.
Under the bill, as 1t now stands, the revenue
It would produce would be about as follows
