coming much diseuated with their negro gov
ernment. A correspondent says: "There is
. report current which, II it has any solid
z oundatiop in fact, will increase the amount
ofproperty advertised for sale considerably the
ne1t year q. two. The report also involves to
scns ex ent questions Of politics and economy
In our city affairs. 1t seems. 30 tho report
goes, that large number Of our wealthiest
property-holders are much dissatisfied with
the present management of city affairs, and
ny that the money realized from taxes and
ether sources ID being sauandered by the corpo-
ration authorities. They therefore propose to
refuse to pay any taxes next year. and allow
their property to be advertised for sale for the
.Ho0-payment Of the taxes. They Will then
ave . year or two under the Law in which to
redeem ther property, and by that time they
hope the management Of city affairs will be in
sother and better hands. The remedy for what
sdeemed an evil seems an original and siosu'
lar one to adopt, but it is nevertheless very Be-
tiously suggested by great many Of the
1argest property.holders. What they desire is
zhst other hands shall expend tho monies Of
the corporation, and believe they can accom-
phsh their end by the course proposed"
