Church

CHICAGO, July l6.-This morning, after the
close of services at Christ Church, a letter from
Bishop Whitehouse, addressed to the Wardens
of that Church, was read announcing his IN
~tention to hold an Episcopal visitation at Christ
Church, on Sunday, August 18th, and as that
Church is now without a rector, instructlng. the
wardens.t to give notice to the Pensioners OF the
| Bishops intention to administer the rite OF con-
frmation and celebrate holy communion; also
asking the Wardens to have those seeking con-
frmation properly prepared by some minister
| of the church in good standing, and expressing
| his willingness to perform that service. Inc
reply of the Wardens, With was also read,
states that the Bishops note was received late
Saturday night, and this is not the hrst time
they have had occasion to regret hat commu-
nications intended to be official have been trans
mitted at such hours, as if acted on at once
would preclude that deliberation which all such
COMMUNICATIONS are entitled to. Also that Rev.
| Edward Charles Cheney is Rector of the par
ish and is still in the exercise Of his mlnlstra-
tons; that the Bishop note gives proof OF his
knowledge of this fact; that as Rev. Mr..
Cheney is Rector Of this parish, so is he minis
ter Of the church in good standing, and the
Wardcns are not aware of any lawful grounds
upon which his character can be lmpugn-
ed. In the proper preparation OF candidates
Rectors need no assistance from any other
Minister of the church. The reply closes as
follows: I'VE would gladly see you among us
to administer the Apostolic rite Of confirmation.
Your notice to that effect was not addressed to
our Rector nor did circumstances exist under
which it would have been proper for us to re,
ceive and impart such notice to say nothing of
the fact; thatit was received late Saturday night
by one of us and in the absence of the others,
and as public notice has not been given, the
day assigned cannot be economically appropriated
to that purpose and moreover, it would be an
incanonical election. Whatever arrangement
may be made for a visitation at another time
the wardens will take pleasure in affordlng their
Rector such assistance in making preparations
for il rs their offices may require

IMPORTANT TO TAx-PAYERs.-Inafew days
the bills for State taxes will be in the hands OF
the City Treasurer, Major ". D. Corse, for
collection, of which due notice will be given.
The delivery Of these bills has been delayed
from various causes, among which are, 1.-THE sys-
tenn being new the time occupied in setting
the machinery to work, and then the destruc-
ton by fire of many Of the papers of the Com
missioner Of Revenue, whose work had to be
necessarily gone over again. In future, the
bills will be ready about the LIST Of May, of each
ycar-the fiscal year now beginning in January
instead of June, as under the old SYSTEM:
Collection Of 1dres-Under the present law,
all the taxes which tic statute requires the
city or county Treasurer to collect have to be
collected before the lst of September, Taxes
not paid at that time, go into the hands OF the
city or township Collector for collection, to
which five per cent will be added: As soon as
the Commissioners return their books, the
Treasurer will give notice of the time and place
for collecting the tax in each township, ana
proceed to collect them. The Treasurer OF
Washington county, in a letter to Mr.. Taylor,
First Auditor. says he does not think 1t posi-:
bic To collect ono half Of the tax and levy OF
1872 in that county by the LIST OF September,
and asks Mr.. Y. il he cannot give an extension
OI the time. 10 lulS WI. !. lGHpoHuS'
