AN CFrlCIAL OUTRAGE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Permit me through your widely circulated Journal
to make public gross outrage perpetrated through
personal malice ana under the gIlse OF an 'income
tax" have paid tax every year since 1t was
first levied until last year, but having been sick
during the entire year and most OF The time confined
to my house, sustained loss In business OF over
g., 900 more than my entire income, and yet, not
withstanding that sworn returns were made by ms
to that eect, was assessed S176 and my furniture
was attached, two ruiIians placed in my house to
guard It, and two more while attempting TO remove
piano, shattered the pedal and split or pieces OF
the carved work. This vas done while was too
sick TO leave my room. Seeing that the instrument
would be ruined and should have to suffer the loss
paid the unjust demand and thus got rid OF the
rudlals from my house. On leaving the deputy
collector remarked that he did not ike to do that
Kind Of business; that he was satisfied that l had
been wronged and that he was sorry to see so many
getting "down on the governmental on account OF
such cases.
It may be asked why should be the subject OF
such treatment. can conceive no other reason
than ths:-l ain q man VINO never bows down to
'the hat erected on pole,' Or crouches like slave
at the feet OF insoent satrapS because clothed with
little brief authority; and besides by examining
the voting list OF the district they could easily learn
that voted the straight democratic ticket at the last
Presidential election. Either OF these offences
would have been sufficient preteXC for gratifying
personal malice and Epite. Be this as 1t may, the
facts are as above stated and Il such outraRes are
no better than rank despotism. The authors OF tho
above Infamous and malicious transaction are Edwin
A. Ware, Assistant Assessor, and Marshall NJ. Blake,
Collector In the Seventh district, corner Third ave.
and Seventh street, New York. II other parties
who have been treated In similar manner will re-
port to me shall take pleasure in aiding them in
bringing their wrongs before the public.
