The advocates OF equal and just taxation,
however, contended in vain. In House of
Representatives with an overwhelming Radi-
cal majority, large majority ofwhich major
ity is composed of Presidents, Directors and
the paid Attorneys of National Banks and in
dividual bondholders, it was a foregone con-
clusion that continued exemption of the priv
ilcged moneyed class would be voted. And
it was-1l0 to 78 as stated. OF the 10 men
who misrepresented and arrayed themselves
against the interests of the people, we regret
to say that two, but only two, call themselves
Democrats. They are Henry w. Slocum
and John G. Schumacher, both from the mon
eyed east. OF the 7S who voted to impose
the tax, 30 were Republicans, and of these
only two, Butler of Massachusetts and Ella OF
New Hampshire, are from the east All the
rest are western and southern members.
The House Of Representatives of the Forty
Second Congress is to be chosen at the state
elections this year. At these elections it will
be for the people who now support the grea
burden of taxation to say whether they will
continue the Republican party in power tina
their. .burden may be continued, or will elec
men who are free from allegiance to that par
ty which is now controlled by the bondhold
ing and banking interests, and who stano
pledged to reduce taxation on those who nov
pay for it and equalize it by extension t,
those now exempt.

MRs. TOoDLEs' PARADIsE.-Ael-
sons Auction Room was yesterday in
the condition that would have glad
dened the heart Of Mrs. Toodles, for
the sale of unclaimed express pack
ages presented so many bargains,
that she never could have resisted the
temptation to invest.
Tha = ne excellent bargains were
there. II ere is no denying, but that in
many cases the purchasers we're sold
il also true. Just think of r1upg
and basbful bachelor purchasing a
neat looking little package, hurryiDg
off to his room and opening it only to
find that it contained a nicely en-
broidered flannel garment: with tiny
waist and no sleeves; linen. garments.
much more diminutiVe, that might be
jackets or might not, Sweet" little
embroidered hood. and several almost
nameless articles Of a diminutive
wardrobe. This Is Notifying, bat
when from within the folds drops out
little note Of maternal advice to the
donee of the wardrobe, the purchaser
drops the whole establishment in
disgust, but finally consoles himself
with thinking that some of the articles
will answer for towels. A man with
eager look and hungry eye buys what
appears to be box Of axes, pays about
half what axes are worth, and opens
his purchase to find geological spesi-
mems, which are valueless to him ;
another buys an equally heavy box for
a round sum, and fnds within de-
taehed pieces of machinery that are
equally valueless. A dirty looking
bundle, sold for trife. is found to
contains good clothing and watch; a
box that brings dollar or two is
found to contain half dozen bottles
of fine old bourbon, and a box pur-
chased by a lawyer for a good sum, is
found to contain last years alma
macs, and so the story GOES until the
sale is ended.

KATIE PUTNA5I.-A first rate audi
ence. both in point Of numbers and
intelligence, filled the Opera House
last night to witness Miss Putnam's
Fanchon, which. although differing
from any other representation Of the
character. ia many respects, was fully
equal to anything ever witnessed by
the writer. 1t is character that re-
quires considerable versatility of tall
ent to play well, and Miss Putnam
proved that she possesses talent, to
make people weep as we'll as laugh,
for in the scene where she tells her
grandmother that she is no longer a
child, the sudden change of feeling
from that Of defiance to penitenoe and
loving submission was so well acted as
to draw tears from mary of the audi
tors. while allthrough the play her
acting was life itself.
The Mother Fadet of Mrs. MeWl-
liams was excellently made up, and
acted far better than any character
she has taken while here, and in fact
as good as ever was seen. Brownies
Landry was excellent. Lees Father
Barbault was as good as could posi-
bly, be imagined, and Calder's Didier.
was booty extraordinary. and hence
immense.
Oliver Twist is the play for to-
night, and this announcement is sup
posed to be sufficient to cali out the
millingtary"

into an open trench, dug for the Se-
ception of the water pipes, which
was left unguarded. Mr. Scantlin
was so severely injured as to be una
bic to rise without the assistance of
Mr.. Wilson, who fortunately, was not
hurt. 1t has been very apparent for
some time, that not only the trenches
were not sufficiently guarded. but that
pieces of pipe were permitted to lie
on the street, across the street cross

in such positions that it was danger
Gus for both pedestrians and drivers
of vehicles. tits to be hoped that
this will be the last, as veil as the
first, accident occurring from this
