CITY RNC "A.
UNEQUAL TAXATION.

Vie NeaIect to TAX Personal Property. and
It's Results.
Citv Controller Hancock, ia his annual re-
port. calls the attention of Councils to the sub
iect of the taxation of personal property. The
value of personal property In the city, acc Drd-
ing to the returns of the assessors Tor 1871, Is
as follows
Furniture. 800
Horses and Cattle. 2OSS559
Carriages. .....' "'S'O'
Total. 'S6
After stating these figures, the Controller
says
''The State Of Pennsylvania compels the city to
pay tax on an amount equal to more than ten times
hs Sam returned nv the assessors and the difference,
instead of being paid by tax on personal enects Is
charged and collected against real estate. Personal
property under the present order is in reality a
source Of expense, because the city ha1 TO pay the
state over ten times as much as she receives IRON
that source. II personal property could be made TO
bear its just share for its protection etc. real estate
would be correspondngly relieved, and the rent pay
ing community be eXonerated from sum more than
their just share. better concert OF action on the
part OF the assessors would probably go far toward
remedy ing the defect"
To show the gross inequality of taxation in
this city as compared with other cities, we ap-
pend statement showing the proportion OF real
and personal estate assessed for taxation in New
York, Boston, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia, in
the year 1868, the latest date for which the re-
turns from all the four cities are accessible
New York ssi s; s sass .Gsr sSs7a sos sSs
Boston '...... ss1,6s5soo 2o5937'So0 4SS,513 700
Cincinnati. 6s,1996O4 6l,5s3,925 l3l,3S3 559
Philadelphia. 445 1929 7,767,661 a63,9O4 $50
From this it will be seen that in New York
city nearly One-third of the property assessed
for taxation in 1868 was personal property,
while in Boston and Cincinnati the proportion
was nearly one-hslf. In Philadelphia the value
of personal property assessed was so Insignificant
as to amount practically to nothing. In 1856
the valuation of personal estate in Cincinnati
exceeded that of the real estate, the former
being S66 454 662, and the latter $67, ,2S 10l. In
1869, the valuation of personal property in Bos-
ton had increased to S2l7, 459, 700.

CURLEY HARRIS,

How They Went For Him In LocomOtive.
Upon one of our inside pages to-day we briefly
chronicle the arrest of "Curley" Harris, who
some time ago, with the aid of Jimmy Elliott
and "Brummagem" Bill, now happily in the
cells of Cherry Hill. so successfully "puta head
on Hpghey Dougherty, the minstrel. He was
captured in Pittsburg. About o'clock last
night the Mayor received a telegram from that
city, which informed him that Curey" had
already taken out writ of habeas corpns, and
that this morning at 10 o'clock it would be
heard before the court and more, that If there
was not some person present to show that be
was legally detained prisoner, he would in all
probability be liberated.
Now, "Curley" was too precious a rascal to
let slip when once within the meshes of the law,
and the Mayor was sorely distressed what course
to pursue. Finally he summoned his Chief, and
ordered him to take the earliest train Tor Pitts
burg. and If, when he reached Altoona, there
seemed no possibility of arriving at Pittsburg in
time for the hearing by the ordinary means, to
charter n locomotive for his express use THIS
Chief Mulbolland did, leaving at 10 o'clock last
night. Between Altoona aud Pttsburg he made
faster time than he ever dreamed of, and to the
Joy of the Mayor, not to omit his own satisfac-
tion, arrived in time, and had the pleasure o
hearing the Pittsburgan Judge remand "Curley
into the custody of the Philadelphia authorities.
Detective Gordon accompanied the Chief.

The Washington correspondent of
Cincinnati Enquirer writes Oct. 10:

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes Oct 10:
South Carolina papers of both political
parties, at hand tonight, comment ON the
Presidents proclamation, and deprecate it.
The Democratic papers declare that no
occasion existed for it, while the Republican
papers say that the Ku-Klux could be sup
pressed without a resort to martial law, and
point TO the courts in North Carolina as
proof of il. Several Southern friends OF
the Administration oppose the step as un-
necessary, though Gov. Holden, of North
Carolina, is out to-day lin the Washington
Chronicle) urging the President to continue
martial law in every place in the South
where an outrage is committed"
There are Radicals in other States howl
ing for martial law, and it need not surprise
any one if every State in the South should
be placed under martial law within few
months. If the action in regard to South
Carolina should not call forth the prompt
and emphatic denunciation of the leading
Radicals in the North, the other Southern
States viii certainly be served in the same
way, until the civil law shall have been
completely superseded in this section.
There is no more necessity for martial law
in that portion Of the South Carolina where
il has been declared, than there is in many
portions of the North. And this remark
will apply with equal if not greater force to
other Southern States.
