MAYENCE,

The cable telegram of yesterday states
that King William has arrived at Mayence
and the Prussian troops continue to
concentrate at that place. This makes
of Mayence a point Of central interest
The King will endeavor to establish his
headquarters here, from what we learn by
the cable accounts.
Its population before the arrival of the
Prussian troops was between forty and
fifty thousand. On account of its great
natural advantages it has always been con-
sidered strategic point of great impor-
lance. It is well fortified with ramparts
composed of bastions and citadel The
town is of the shape Of a triangle, one side
Of which fronts on the Rhine. It has been
the theatre of numerous battles from the
time Of Vipsanius Agrippa, down to the
present.
Mayence was a bone of contention be-
tween the Prussians and French in 1892,
when the latter took possession of it with
out hardly striking blow The follow
ing year, however, the persistent Prus-
slams returned to the attack, besieged and
took the place. few years later, May
ence was surrendered to France by treaty,
and became the capital of Month onnerre.
After its occupation by the allied armies
in 1914, it was made part of the Grand
Duchy Of Hesse by the Congress of
Vienna.
In the memory Of most Ameri-
can travellers, Alayence is a pleasant
spot. In its peaceful days it fur
nished at least two or three
days of agreeable occupation to the
tourist, with its fine military band which
used to play in the Schiller Square at
noon, its pretty gardens and old Cathe-
dral its cheap cabs and cheap hotels, its
monument of the master-printer, Gutten-
burg, and its vague, lazy, comfortable
life, to say nothing Of its treasures of art
in stone and canvas to be found in it's
several churches and in its ducal gallery.
Those who revisit the place after the
present struggle will look in vain for the
old quiet Mayence Of peaceful days.

OF the city, detailing all outstanding obi
cations
3. Detailed estimate of expenses and

lem Of working the city out Of its Difficult
ties There is nothing wanting to this
end, further than that business men and
citizens generally shall thoroughly under.
stand corporation affairs.
Our reports of the Council, and the
official proceedings published every
Thursday morning, throw full light on
| current affairs, as not dollar is expended
without passing the Council and being
fully detailed in its proceedings ; so much
SO that tax payers can almost audit their
own affairs by examination Of the details
in print. 1t only needed the aid OF sue
cinct statement of back affairs to make
any intelligent reader conversant with
city finances. This want will be fully
supplied by the publication of the report
alluded to.
We yesterday showed the city debt to
be SIS, 499, $50 All this is interest bear
ing, and the semi-annual payments Of
interest must be large But it is salts
faction to know that it is liquidated and
ascertained and there is no necessity or
danger of its increase. With the revenues
of the current year, payment Of all the
expenses, as well as of interest, as fast as
due is sure.
The situation u.s. therefore, encouraging,
and prospects for the future are even
much better. Through the careful system
instituted by Administrator Bonzano, and
its faithful and conscientious enforcement
by such officers as Assessor Shredder, prop
erty will be subjected to a more just and
uniform assessment. The property OF the
rich will be estimated at the same full
standard that has been hitherto ex-
acted from the poor. Some prom
inent ex-tunctionaries, it is understood,
have not been assessed at all; others were
treated as favorites and promptly reduced
to what they chose to return. On the
other hand, persons Of less means and
not in favor at court, were taxed to the
full amount of valuation, wich was often
positive proof of generalization was
made.
While such injustice as this will no
longer exist or be tolerated the aggregate
assessment will exhibit a heavy increase
Of the taxable wealth of the city Fines
are now more rigidly collected and faith
fully turned over. The revenues of every
kind are more promptly paid. Mr.. Adj
ministrator Shaw makes the following
acknowledgment in his last report to the
Council:
The unexampled promptness of the tax
payers in coming forward ought to be graft
Tying to the officers of the city having the
charge and responsibility of its business If
we do not succeed in etfecting permanent
reform in city affairs it will not be for want
of support on the part OF the taxpayers. for.
without dispute, delay or litigation. they
have come forward as a mass. The taxes
have been increased: two new ones have |
been added THE Metropolitan and park: vet. |
the present administration does |
not hold itself responsible for the increased |
burden OF taxes, it owes an acknowledge |
ment to the readiness and punctuaiity Of |
the people who have to contribute.

Governor Warmoth having heard nothing
further from the Mayor of Cincinnati, tele-
graphed yesterday to that official request
ing him to transmit by telegraph any in
formation he may possess in reference to
the child The opinion is gaining ground
that the kidnapping of Mr.. Digby's child
was done at the instigation of parties who
have been waiting for large reward, and
that they have carried the child a long dis
lance Oft to negotiate there for the reward
on her return. Depraved men will do any
thing for money, and the child was proba-
bly, stolen as a money speculation.
