Taxes.


Edmund Burke onco said, "Taxing is
an easy business. Any protector can con-
tinue new impositions. Any bungler can
add to the old. But is it altogether wise
to have no other bounds to your imposi.
tons than the patience of those who arc to
pay them?'
How applicable this to the Democratic
misrule Of to-day! Recent files of Balti-
more daily papers contain notices of county
levies for 1871, throughout tho State, rang
ing from 20 cents to 81 and over on the
$100,-rates as high, or higher, than when
the property in those counties was assessed
at about one-half what it now is, thus
nearly or quite doubling taxation. In Cecil
the rate for county purposes, alone, is
reported as 70 cents on the 800, which is
higher with an assessment of nearly 100
per cent. greater) than was required in any
one of the four years of tho Rebellion, not
withstanding the rate in one of those years
covered 100000 of Bounty money.
Tho columns of The Wing have already
illustrated the liberal financial policy of our
Democratic rulers in State affairs. How
have the promises of "retrenchment and
REFORM" made by these Democratic Legis-
lators, who were so loud in their denuncia-
ton of "Radical extravaganza and corrup-
tion," been redeemed? What taxpayer
in Maryland has had a reduction in his
taxes since 1867? Are our burthens les.
sened since then?
AS in Maryland, so is it wherever this
party of misrule is in power. Mr.. Dexter
A. Hawkins Of the New York bar, has
recently shown that, in 1869 and 1870 the
Democratic rulers of New York city have
spent $1O2, 763, 1a1 of the peoples money
an average of $51, 1881, $50 per year,-and
says, sit is demonstrated that they have
armed themselves with authority to spend
$40, 900, 900 in the year 1871, of which $4O,-
600, 600 will be to add to the permanent
debt Of the city," to pay the annual inter-
est on which will require 50 from every
man, woman and child in New York -
Here is Democratic retrenchment for you !
Did Burke have this inimitably expensive
Democracy in view in the remark quoted

The Workingmen's Union had rather stormy ses
sion last evening The committee appointed at the
previous meeting presented report to the elgi.
bty OF the Cooperative Printers to representation
in the Union as cooperative body, the printers
being already represented q labor association,
The committee recommended that no additional re-
preSen tation lie Civ en- them, and wished that this
should be established as preceden. IN relation TO
all cooperative bodies, whom they regard as bosses
rather than workingmen. Upon the question Of
adopting the report long and very stormy
Young, on behalf Of the cooperative printers es-
sayed to address tie meeting. The privilege Of the
floor was not accorded to him. Among the men,
bers there were many who opposed the adoption of
the report the grounds that such action on their
part would be accepted as an evidence that they
were opposed TO the formation OF cooperative
bodies at any time by members of the association.
During the course OF the discussion good deal Of
acerbty was displayed by the speakers on both
sldes-the friends and opponents OF the measure
sought to be INTRODUCED questioning the motives
governing each others opinions
In the midst OF the confusion, when the chairman,
Mr.. Gri1n sought In vain TO restore ORDER he said,
"Would 1t be necessary that he should the Ian
guage of a blackguard In order to get hearingi II
SO, he would"
Mr. Ferguson took the chairman to task for max
ing use Of such an expression, which he character
ized as ungentlemany ana unbecoming the presi.
dent OF such a body. He asked for an explanation.
Mr.. Masterson also strongly deprecated the use Of
such language.
Finally, after wasting the whole evening in use-
less debate, the meeting was obliged to adjourn
without coming to any decision.

A convention OF delegates from the profess

No. $40 Broadway last evening. AT the time the
call for the convention sent out its objects were
stated 10 be the settlement Of the manner OF
achieving the title Of champion club Of the country
and the arrangement OF the routes of the club tours
during the season. But the action Of the amateur
clubs IN Withdrawing from the National Association,
IN which both professional and amateur clubs mad
been represented, and their organization Of an eX-
elusive convention, caused the scope OF the Conven-
ton's duties to be enlarged, ana, IN the opinion
OF a majority OF the delegates, made necessary the
reorganization OF the National Association on a

WH0 MURDERED PRIue

The Naue Preusssche KYeutz Zettun0 Of February
25 contains q telegram announcing that the new
KING OF Spain had caused the arrest OF Duke Ser
rano, the former Regent Of Spain, and makes the
following comments =
What reasons the King had for taking this step is
not known. Some people suppose that the arrest OF
this mighty man was on well grounded suspicious
Of his bIing implicated In the murder OF Prim. IL
Is well known that Prm was assassinated but very
short time before the King set foot on Spanish soil.
Many then said that the king maker had left the
busy scene Of life in the nick OF time for the new
King aud as the mystery which surrounded the
murder OF Prim has not yet been solved, the same
people Viii now give out that the King had likewise
found out In convenient time how TO get rid of the
otner king maker by discovering In him one OF the
accompllces In that murder. This is all very
fine reasoning. but does not agree with
the favorable reports OF the young Kings
loyalty, aud with the assertions OF the English
papers, that he was then still In i'1cognttO In Mad
rid. The whole business has, however, very seri-
Gus look. Was perhaps, the last attempt to assassi.
nate Minister Gorilla only made to get rid of him as
one OF the witnesses or acccmplicesY The attempt
failed, aud now SerranO has, II is alleged, been
found out as the murderer or Prim. Has The un.
grateful iavorite OF Queen Isabella met with his
wel-merlted DOOM For when oil the Spaniards
rose against the queen he, OF all men, should never
have joined the rebels. The whole affair may be
characterized ~ Spanish black cloak and dagger
business.

Feb. II, 1871.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
1t has come TO nv knowledge that the government
OF this republic wishes to purchase several small
gunboats for s.revenue cuttersn at an early day.
Feeling that our countrymen can sell them as cheap
and as substantial and complete any European
country desire to call this opportunity TO gene
raj attention through the columns OF your national
Journal. 1t would be good thing in many ways for
an American 10 secure this contract. My advice TO
shipowners and shipbuders is at once to forward
plans and specifications to the President Of this re-
pubic at Quito. Let them state their price for one
Run0oat OF small size and add what deduction
they van make In case half dozen are purchased.
TUT the price as low as possible, for big market is
being rapidly opened up here and the man who gets
the nrst contract Will secure many more before he
Is DONE such sale would help American interests
Monderiniiy % 10 these parts And even each indi.
at least show the President OF Ecuador W hat we
are doing and can dc In the ship making line, and
that In oil the many kinds OF contracts which he Ia
now making for Ecuador we can DO as well az Eng

in the Bowery, charged with being a de-
faulter IN the sum Of $1,000 while act
ing as deputy postmaster and chief clerk
Of the money order department at Atlanta, Ga.
After appropriatng the money Mclaughlin visited
New Orleans, after which he came to this city and
opened a billiard saloon at the corner OF
Broome and Elm streets, paying for
the same $4,000. He was handed over
TO the custody OF Col. Whitley, Chief OF the Secret
Service Bureau, and left IN charge OF one OF his
detectives last night for Atlanta. Before leav-
ing for the latter place he confessed to Col.
whitley that he was guilty Of the charge
preferred against him, and gave him deed Of the
place with power OF attorney to sell the same.
