How TO "RAIsE THE WIYD."-The
Sun suggests a plan of raising the
wind" or, in other words, Of collecting
the taxes due the city, which we COM
mend to the earnest consideration of the
few Fathers who are capable Of thinking
1t is this: For competent persons,
aided by the Tax Collector, to divide the
amount past due into three parts. The
first to consist of monies that can probs-
bly, be obtained with the usual amount of
attention all back dues require in collce-
ton; that is, making personal calls from
time to time, until the money is paid.
The second will consist of debts difficult
to collect, and which may involve the
use of such legal powers as the city
possesses to enforce its claims. The
third should consist of the desperate
cases, requiring the skill, energy and
persistence of Collector who knows his
duty and will not fail to firmly perform
it. For each of these classes of debt 9
per centsge on collection should be paid
proportionate to the labor involved; for
the third class probably not less than
one-fourth or one-third of the whole
amount collected, when that amount is
the whole sum DUE" If this plan don't
suit our sages, it may be the means of
suggesting one that will; therefore we
recommend its discussion at their next
Meeting.

ELEcTIoN.-There will be an election

absurdity; and yet we venture to say
that the majority of the voters will be
lazy, loafng negroes who are more o
burden than benefit to the city.
