Tue resolution to exempt the property
Of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany within the city from all taxes apast,
present and future" was passed last night
by both branches ol Council. In the
Second Branch there was no call OF the
yeas and nays and no record Of the vote.
Not more than ten members voted on
both sides, but the Presiden. decided that
tho resolution was passed. In the First
Branch the vote stood six to eight, and
lacking two'thirds will require majority
vote at another meeting, In the Second
Branch speeches against the measure were
made by Messrs. PORTER SMITH and j.
G. SAITH. ]. Il. HUBBARD also stated
that his inability to SEQ that Council had
any authority in tho premises would not
permit him 10 vote for the exemption.
PoRTRR sMTH's speech was one Of unuOu-
alpith and point and so greatly pleased the
lobby, that they gave him rounds of ap.
plause. In the First Branch Messrs.
BLAIR, STANTON, ScHAMBRA and ALL.
SON spoke against the resolution and
Messrs. BoRING and WILSON for 1t. Mr..
argument though brief was of
anSwerable force and logic, and Mr.. WILL
SON though he occupied few minutes In
reply scarcely attempted an answer at all
on the merits Of the question. The ro.
marks made by Mr.. BLAIR were also very
pertinent and forCible, We have notes
of the discussion In the First Branch and
may be able TO give our readers portions
OF 1t. So
Having uttered our opinions Of this
action freely before 1t was consummated,
our convictions have undergone no
change and We can only express
our regrets, now that the deed Is done

act, Council hos bartered the birthright

1--WE understand" says the Golden
Age, 'lhat old Mr.. Bennett, the founder
of tho Herald, has so greatly failed in
health and strength that he now takes
almost no interest In anything, and Is
gliding gently into helplessncss and sec.
ond childhood, For months past we
have noticed an unusual reticenco con.
corning him by the press at large. lie
has ceased to be sneered at and abused.
Ills name still stands at the head Of the
great newspaper which he called into life
and power, but his contemporaries, who
for 50 many years gave him daily blow,
now refrain from kicking the sick lion,
Old age and weakness thus come not un.
attended with compensation after all"
1t Is known that since Mr.. Bennett rC.
tired from active business, his occupation
has been wholly devotional. We trust
that Mr.. Tilton does not regard this ms n
form Of rapid decay, and indicative of q
loss ot intellectual vigor. |ta
