STATE TAKES.

undor the law rs it has been created, tho collcc.
ton Of State and county taxes would begin on tho
18th inst. We SEQ it stated that 1t having beon
found impracticab,c to commence the collection
at that timo it will DO deferred until about tho lst
of February. It is also stated that the tux
will be nethird less than that Of last year, aud
will be fixed at ono half Of ono per. cent
The estimated expenses of the Stnte Govern
ment amount to $03G,0oO, which, rddcd to tho
premium gold in which the interest Of tho State
dobt is to bc pnid, will amount to about 81, 900.
600. At the rate assessed upon real and person nj
property. the amount realized will DO but $780,.
0o0; and thus tho State dobt will likely bo in
creased to tho amount of about $500, 900. AS the
sharpcrs, in ordor to pio up their own cofY,rs.
have made tho interest payable in gold, this
amount will no doubt be easily absorbed.
This, however, will afford somo temporary ro.
lief TO Inc taxpayer, and. it may bc, postpone
tho day ut which thoy will be required to pay tho
deficit Of radical extravaganza until n time ut
which they may DO bottor ablo 10 meet it. Upon
tho whole, II would seem to be an indication OF
tho exercise Of some little ORC conoo.n for the
interests and prosperity Of tho country.

NEW YORK, April Con the reassembling of
the court many others of the panel we're exa-
mined, and at last Thomas Mills, dry goods
dealer in Grand street, was acceptedas as the tenth
juror.
Anton Cohen was then called. He had heard
OF the case, but never read about it, His mind
was so constituted, he sad that his opinion
with regard to the merits of the case was ''six
of one and half dozen of the other"
The Mcfarland Trial.
Mr.. Graham-lt is important to get the full
meaning of this jurors answer The papers
have said that this prisoner was an inebriate;
such an opinion is false. We are going to dare
the prosecution to prove this. He may have
read that it has been given out that he was
brutal to this woman; that statement is equally
false. We are going to dare the prosecu-
ton to prove that he may have read that also,
in the papers that she was driven upon the
stage to earn her living. That statement is
utterly false. We dare the prosecution to prove
that.
The witness was set aside, and after a long
examination of jurors Abraham F. Prime, of
the Seventh ward, was accepted and sworn as
the eleventh juryman.
The jury was completed at $50 o'clock P. NJ.
by the acceptance of George G.. Howard, theatre
cal manager and actor, as the twelfth man.

Prison Cases.


Court Of Quarter SeSsions-Judge PdrsOn.
The regular prison calendar for the April term
was taken up this morning, the docks being
filled with unfortunates.
James Mclaughlin, an incorrigible, was con-
victed of pocket-picking. About Z o'clock in
standing at the fire at Front and Dock streets,
and suddenly felt slight movement in his vest
pocket which he soon discovered was caused
by the prisoner gently lifting his watch. He
was Immediately seized by the threat and, offer
ing savage resistance, was knocked down three
or four times, and was then taken into custody
by an officer. He endeavored, like a sharper to
have the prosecutor locked up for assault and
battery on him, but failed. He essayed to con-
duct his own defense. and asked first such ques-
tions as brought about his recognition as an old
offender.
several pieces of silver coin from bake-shop
at No 907 South Sixteenth street. He entered
the shop one morning. bought pie from the
woman who was in attendance, and gave o five
dollar bill in payment. When she went away
to get the change he stole the coins out of the
drawer, and when she handed him his change
he hurried off. The trick was found out, and
he was in few moments caught and lodged in
Jail.
John Schmidt, who said he was a German,
was convicted of stealing poultry, the facts
being that he was recklessly apprOpriating to
himself geese and chickens that belonged to
other persons, and went about it In such
green bungling manner that he was detected
without the slightest difficulty.
John Hopkins, colored, pleaded guilty to a
charge of assault and battery. On the night of
March 25th he met young mulatto woman in
Seventh street and addressed her in an indecent
manner She endeayored to avoid him, when he
dealt her n cruel blow upon the head with a
heavy club, and then threatened to kill her If
she should prosecute him.
