Really it is not the fault of the American

"'A Fenian Scare it would be difficult to re-

in the New World never was presented an
instance of louder alarm over an impalpable
enemy. Do we exaggerated Listen to The

poor business, that of suspending the Habeas

the Canadans-from Philip drunk to Philip

Senator Carpenter of Wisconsin is named as
one of the persons whose action on the Georgia
bill it was sought to influence by bribery.
Thus far only the most general and contempt
ible insinuations are INDUCED in, and the
charges, as they first reached us, are not sIls-
tanned. We doubt if there is as much basis
for these intimations of dishonesty as for
those of corruption in the sale of cadetslnps'
which the House chose to overlook. We SIN
cerely trust, however, that the investigation
begun in this instance is not to stop short, as
in the former one, leaving the public mind
full of suspicious and doubts.

President Grant will be fully justified in de-
clining the new and unusual duty which the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations abb
surdly seeks to impose on him. The Consti-
tuition does not require the Executive to sit as
umpire in the contests of North Pole naviga-
tors; and his somewhat neglected nautical ed
ucation does not qualify President Grant to
pronounce which of the two, Dr. Hayes or
Capt. Hall, is the better navigator of ice-bound
seas. The mooted question of the qualifica-
tions of the rival explorers is one which the
people do not care to have settled at their ex-
pense, particularly if it is to cost the neat sum
of 100000. And Science can afford to post
pone the solution of this momentOus matter

We all know the muddy bed fiOm which IL
came. But the most i'll l-disguised attempt 10
convert the filth of the sewers into salaoie
article and give to it the fragrance of prim-
roses, is made by the ordinary scandal-mOnger;
the unhappy man or woman whom disappOint-

kind, especially those portions of it who arc
of higher grade and nobler motives than
their own. These gossips may be found

whether it is pure woman or syren that

cheat only themselves. They will find few
men who will not detect their trick, cover it as

they will find in the end that the pay was

poisonous gossip because it is offered to them

A great deal has been said of the Jury OF
Women in Wyoming, and it has been taken
for granted that the ladies composing it were
all of the Woman Suffrage persuasion, seeking
position on the jury and obtaining it as a VIC
tory. The Laramie (Wyoming) Sentinel is kind
enough to set this matter right. 1t says that
there is not, to its knowledge, ga single woman
Gin the city who is an advocate of, or con-
overt to, the doctrine popularity known as
"woman's rights that "not one OF the
"women who served as jurors belongs to this
&" class r-and Qbis is the most important OF
all) that "these ladies did not seek the posi-
" ton of jurors, and only accepted it with
diflidence and hesitation doubts and mis-
"givings." We beg leave respectfully to COM
mend these words to the consideration OF
those Eastern danes and damsels who have so
glOried in this Laramie jury-tO those who
have no hesitation, no doubt, no misgiying,
and no diflidence to speak OTTO those who
know that woman wants to vote-tO those who
are sure of it, have doubt about 1t, are
convinced Of it, but who have not yet cOnde-
scended to prove it to those who would
change the whole political character of society
without one doubt or q misgiving Of the as
sued blessedness of the result.

The World thus portrays an exaction of the
Tariff which we are confident does not reach
many of its readers:
"such is brief view of Protection which searches,
it were the very veins of oppressed people, and
II TO cut them off from any consolation under afc
ton will not permit them to read so much a chapter
in their Bibles without paying to protected horse
leech duty on that good book OF IS per cent"
The American Bible Society supplies the
larger number of the cheap Bibles required by
our people. That Society stands always ready to
sell Bibles at their naked cost, no matter what
may be the duty imposed on their importa-
ton. We assert as fact that no protected
"horse-leechn has never charged any one "25
"per cent?" nor any per cent, more for Bibles
because of the Tariff. And what is true of
Bibles is true generally.

We read of a model Mayor in Burlington,
VT, Mr. Linsley by name. The salary attached
to his Office is not what you may call munif-
cent, being but 5000 year. This is such an
insignificant sum that his Honor refuses TO
take it. His motto is "More or none," and we
don't blame him. We presume that in those
pastoral localities there are no facilities for
municipal stealing; and, if there were, we
may be sure that this Mayor would not avail
himself of them: for the man who refuses
5000 is MT the man to misappropriate any
larger sum. Here in NewYork, $500 officer
would pocket the regular pay and as much
more as he could manage to pouch.

Increase from 1855 to 1868 by City Assessors
increase for period by State Board Of Equalization
$75,6l1,473.
Judged by the rate of assessment set up by the
City Officers, the property subject to taxation
in 1868 was said to be worth very nearly twice
as much as it was in 1850 an increase that we
venture to say will scarcely be conceded by
purchasers. An increase of one hundred per
cent. in valuation may well give margin for
apparent reduction of the levy. But if Jones
paid two dollars hundred last year, his house
being valued at $4,000, how much cause has
he to rejoice this year at the reduction" to 81 70
on hundred the same house being rated
at S1S,000i Just this: Last year he paid 5000;
this year, $315; but of course he must be
happy, because the percentage of taxation has
been reduced. The truth is, the extravagant
assessment of property is made, and has been
made for years, to cover the outrageous
swindles perpetrated by our rulers. No such
increase of assessment is dreamed of in any
other county From 1885 to 1850, the increase
here was only $6s 900, or less than $5 100000
year. From the advent of Mayor Wood
and the cOrruptionists who followed him, our
assessed valuation has gone up from $413, 700
to about $1,000, 100000 or at the rate of IS per
cent. year. In 1854, we raised by tax
s4,Si5,3S6; in 1868, $24,1 S93-an increase in
IA years of about 500 per cent. And now, hav-
ing extended the enormous valuation of 1860
by at least 20 per cent, the Tweed party claims
special credit for reduction in tax of less
than per cent.
