&c" THE CITY Is CREATED OF IT'S REvE.
MITE

There isa serious defect in the lays of thie
State in the matter Of tho collection Of taxes
which threatens to overwhelm the State and al
tho subordinate municipalities in loss and con-
fusion. This defec. is that, Whenever there NAV
be an error in the proceedings OF levy and
assessment of taxes, however technical it oper-
ates as defeat Of the tax and releases the per-
son resisting it, and his property, from any pay
ment OF that tax for all time to come. In this
matter, thepaw Is construed by the Courts makes
distinction between debts. realty tax is
debt due by the citizen to the State or to the
Government. The Law assumes . valuable con-
slderation on the part Of the State for the debt
due BY the property-owner. But the Law dis
tinguiahes between this and al other debts.

THE LAW OF CONTEMPT.

We differ, and We believe the people Of Hi
nois, will differ very widely, from the views laid
down us law by the majority Of our Supreme
Court in tho recent contempt case against the
Eucning Journal. They say:
We do not deprecate nor should we claim tho right
to punish any criticism the press may choose to pub
1sh upon our decisions, opnou8, official conduct
in regard to that have passed from ursdc-
ion 80 long action is correctly stated and
o11cial integrity is not impeached.
This implies that tho press must not comment
on the official action OF our Courts while IN ac-
ton is pending; that, after the action is over,
they may bo punished if the Court doemg their
criticism or statement of the action Of the
Court to be incorrect, and that no newspnpele
has the right to arraign or doubt the integrity
OF Court. We deny all these propositions as
alike unnecessary to the due administration Of
justice, but tending rather to encourage tho ad-
ministration Of injustice, and as wholly incon-
sistent with the ncedful and proper freedom OF
tho press which is guaranteed by our Constitu-
ton.
It must be remembered that the power Of all
the Judges OF Courts OF Record to punish for
contempt is tho same, without regard to tho
grade Of the Court, or tho character Of the Judge
Occasionally, corrupt Judges, as we'll as corrupt
Legislators End officers, have arisen under all
governments. Recently, in New York, three
Judges havo been ogerthrown for being corrupt
They could not have bocn assailed by any effect
i've means had not their corruption first been
freely charged and proved in the columns Of the
newspapers, and public opinion reused by those
publications to the point OF demanding their
punishment The legal powers Of Judges Bar
nard, Cardozo, and McCunn to punish for con-
tempt we're the same as those Of tho Supreme
Court of Illinois now are. What would have
been thought had they caused every
editor to be fined who arraigned
their integrity? The question whether it impedes
or promotes the administration of Justice to
charge Judge with bribery or not depends on
whether the Judge has been guilty OF bribery or
not Il he has, the administration Of justice is
promoted By charging it in the newspapers. It
be has not, it is impeded. But this is not fit
question for the Judge himself to decide. Being
the aggrieyed party, he should not eit in his
own case.
We hope it may be long before the press
OF Illinois will be justified in charging any of
our Courts with bribery. But should they ever
assume the responsibility Of making the
charge in earnest, the particular Judges who
deem themselves aggrleyed thereby will hardly
have the audacity to determine the question
which would be raised between the press and
themselves. For Judges, no more than Govern
ors, or members Of the Legislature, can claim
that tho interests OF justice demand that they
shall be exempt from criticism either by the
press or by individuals, whether it bear on their
integrity or ability. It is only by such right OF
criticism that the purity OF any grade Of officials
can be preserved. Reputation itself would
have no value unless criticism were free

The Supreme Court Of Illinois has just made

The Supreme Court of Illinois has just made
decision in the case Of certain property -owners
on South Clark street against the Chicago City
Railway Company, which is Of general public
Importance. It will be remembered that some
time previous' to the fire, the Company, under
the provisions of an old city ordinance, UNDER
took to lay down q track on South Clark street,
from Randolph to Twenty-second. Certain
p1operty-owners on that street applied for IN
injunction in the Circuit Court. but the Court
ruled in favor Of the Company. An appeal vas
taken to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme
Court has now affirmed the decision Of the
Court below, which leaves the Company free to
resume its track-laying. Under the operation Of
this decision, it is now proposed, in conjunction
with the North Side Company, to lay continu-
ous track from Twenty-second street to Lincoln
Park, charging but one fare for the through trip.

l8 rapidly assuming proportions that must over
"helm the city and blast its credit it is we'll to
understand what has been done elsewhere to
meet like condition Of things. In Massachu-
setts no man is permitted to question the validity
OF tx levied by competent authority until he
has rendered or p:;d the ta-. Ho then is at lib
erty to contest the justice or legality OF the tax,
sno, ne makes out his case, he RECEIVERS his

ner be first paid. In Ohio the tax levy is abso-
lutte. The contestant must take notice at the
time OF assessment, and can then endoaro1 to
have his tax reduced, or, if there be errors. to
have them corrected; after that thero is no such
thing as an appeal from judgment on debt

others, the citizen is not permitted to cripple,

not, however, LETT without remedy, because, it
he has beon enormously taxed, or forced
to pay moro than he really owed, he can, upon
proper showing, get his money back. In this
State the rule is not only reversed, but tech

doubled during the past year; providing that

selves to the utmost to develope and improve
the work; and the plans for the coming year,
as unfolded by the monthly issues, will astonish
and delight even the most sanguine friends of

America.
In addition, THE ALDINE will reproduce
examples of the best foreign masters, selected

become familiar, through photographs, or copies
of any kind.
The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873, will re-

THE HISTORY OF COTTON.

A new work entitled the "Chro-
biological and Statistical History of
Cotton" has just been published in
this city by Mr., E. j. Donneli. 1t
emoodios some very valuable facts
and statistics relative to the rise,
progress and present condition of
cotton industry in this and in other
countries, and combines a vast
amount of information that will be
appreciated by business men and
even by statesmen. For the policy
of great nations is now influenced to
greater or lesser extent by the ne
cessities occasioned by this great
staple, and treaties are made or
broken in accordance with its real
Or supposed interests. From small
beginnings, the cotton trade has
grown to be great power in the
world. In Europe and in the Unit
ed States it is estimated that total
of seven million bales of cotton, VAL
ued at 100000 ,00e; in gold, is now
consumed every year: by the va
rious processes Of manufacture, this
raw material is increased in value
six per cent leaving a given total
of 81, 000,000,000 over and above
the cost of production, to be divided
among merchants, shippers, manu-
facturers and dealers. The history
of the development of this vast in
dustry is clearly and forcibly nara
ted in Mr.. ponneli's work, und al
though we may not always agree
with his philosophy, which appears
to be rather far fetched AID strained,
we cheerfally bear witness to the
value of the facts and figures which
are embodied in this book.-N. Y.

He used Dugdales at the rate Of 30 pounds

by himself, was as follows:
~ first broke my land in March with a bull
tongue pillow, laid it off and bedded it and run
a furrow in the water furrow put in the fer
tizer covering the fertilizer with same pillow on
two sides and then finished bedding with half
shovel pillow. Iplanted about 18th April, after

From the above yield we are convinced of
three things lst That farming will pay, I'd.
That the liberal use of good fertilizers and good
cultivation will more than double all crops and
after paying all expenses make handsome
return to the farmer. Sd. That in point of

A SPECTRAL ENGINEER.

For some time past the engineers
and fremen of the night trains on
the Pan Handle route have been
startled by the unaccountable ring
ing of the engine bell just as the To-
comotive enters belt of woods be.
tween the stations of Dunreith and
Strawns. For over week, as soon
as these woods are reached the bell
of the engine commences violent
ringing, although the bell rope is
not touched by any one on the train.
Some nights since, as the bell COM
menced its usual ringing, engineer
John Whist, of one of the freight
trains, peered out into the darkness
and distinctly discovered, as he
positively asserts, the form of gil
gantic man, some seven or eight
feet high standing on the foot board,
near the bell. The appear ance of
the man had peculiar effect on the
engineer; not exactly inspiring fear,
but an underlined awe. The ghostly
visitor soon vanished into thin air,
much to the amusement of the en-
gineer and fireman. Since that oc :
currence, brakeman Abner Blew, of
the same train, entered the caboose
car and saw a large, well-dressed
man sitting in corner. He passed
to the top of the car, and, meeting
the conductor, asked him if the
stranger was a friend of his. The
conductors reply was that there
was no one on the train, as he had
observed carefully that no passenger
got aboard at any station. The
brakeman laughingly remarked that
it must be "this ghost" and went
into the caboose again, when the
mysterious stranger had disap-
pearcd. These statements were
made in all truth and solemness by
reliable men, to a reporter of the
Sentinel, and what may be the cause
of these singular phenomena remains
mystery. Railroad men, above
all others, are not easily frightened,
but the continued recurrence of
this spiritual bell-ringing causes a
lively commotion among them
Without vouching for the truth of
the statements made, any more than
to speak for the entire reliability of
the persons giving them, the Senti-
mel presents the mystery to its read
ers for a solution. -IndiGnapots
