Mr.. Hooper offered a substitute impos-
| ING an additional tax of one cent per
gallon for every month after the first year.
Mr.. Prosser said he hoped the Govern
lnent would not exact twenty-four per
cent. interest in that way, thus discrimi-
mating in favor of foreign importers and
distillers against home distillers.
Mr.. Hooper remarked that foreign
liquors and merchandise kept in bonded
warehouses one day over the year have to
pay ten per cent on the duty, and that du-
ty on imported liquors is two dollars and
ahalf, gold.
Mr.. Beck argued in favor of his own
proposition and against the Government
charging any interest.
Mr. Butler, of Mass, and Mr.. Covode
sustained Mr.. Beck's proposition.
Mr.. Allison preferred to have the mat
ter left to the Committee on Ways and
Means to be provided in the general rev
enue. ~
Mr.. Marshall argued in favor of the
extension of time, and also of the pay
ment of interest, but not the ruinous rate
proposed by Mr.. Hooper. He suggested
an additional tax of half cent on the
gallon per month.
The yeas and nays were ordered on
Mr.. Marshalls amendment, when the
motion to adjourn was interposed.
The Gold Panic.
Mr.. Garfield asked that the Committee
on Banking have leave to report any time
on the subject of the gold panic, and Mr..
Cox asked leave to report the views of
the minority. Agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. Cullom, the Polyga-
my bill was made the special order for
the 22d of March.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, COM
nencement of the Lenten season, which in
Catholic and Protestant Episcopal Church
es. is fast of forty days Immediately pre-
ceding Easter.
Ash Wednesday derives its name from
a custom which still prevails in the Roman
Catholic Church of sprinkling the head or
forehead with ashes To roll Oneselfin the
dust. to cover the head with ashes, was in
primitive times, mark Of profound grief.
A man who appeared with his body, hair
and dress covered with dust announced by
such exterior his mourning and affection.
Examples of this are frequent in scripture,
being mentioned in Job, the Kings, the
Prophets, and also the Gospels. David, to
express the bitterness of his grief, says he
ate ashes like bread In the first centuries
of Christianity, when public penance was
imposed, ashes were cast upon the heads
of those who were condemned, and they
were obliged to stand without the gate OF
the church amid the lamentations OF the
people within. The ceremonies OF Ash
Wednesday in Roman Catholic countries
are continuation of this primitive usage.

in good repair.
Aid. Stewart, from the Street Committee
to whom was referred the subject of having
various ponds drained, reported that the
same were on private property, and not
caused by any act Of the corporation. The
committee recommended that the City

either drain or fill up said ponds by the
18th day Of April, or they will be dealt with
under the law declaring all such places null
sances.
The report was on motion adopted.
The bill passed on the second reading at
last meeting, entitled an act for the i'm
provement Of the streets of Edgeheld, was
called up, when Aid Stewart proposed an
amendment as follows:

said property shall deposit with the City
Treasurer sufficient amount of money to
pay for said Improvements, and they shall
have credit of twenty per cent on their
taxes from year to year until they are re-
imbursed.
Pending the discussion on the bill, Aid. |
Glenn offered bill in lieu, entitled ''an !
act defining the manner of building streets,
etc.
Alderman White said he was willing TO
accept the bill in lieu, and hoped that it
would be referred to the Committee on
improvements and Expenditures.
The bill in lieu was then adopted, and
on motion of Mayor White referred to
Committee on Improvements and Expend-
itures
A petition was submitted from large
number of property owners on Woodland
street, asking that said street be graded
Immediately and without delay, and as
soon as said grade is made that pavements
be made on each side of said street. The
petition was received, and upon motion
laid upon the table.
Aid. Joseph offered resolution author
izing the Street Committee to contract for
repairing all dangerous or impossible
places on the public streets of Edgefeld as
soon as possible. Adopted
Mayor White called attention to the
amendments to the charter. recently adopt
ed by the Legislature.
Aid. Glenn moved that 200 copies Of the
same be printed. Carried.
Mayor White moved the appointment Of
a committee of four to examine the pro-
visions of the amendments, and report to
the next meeting what action may be
necessary by the Board.

says: The charges regarding Middle and

in its power to promote peace ON the
broad basis Of equality and justice. The
statement is part and parcel of a wicked
scheme to overthrow the present order of
things"

whole statement so far as il relates to me.
