The Exenpsion Of Church Proner.x-

The working Of the law exempting church
property from taxation has been a matter of 30
much hardship and injustice to taxpayer, and
especially to those owning property on the
squares where churches are situated, that there
has been adecided expression of opinion that
the Legislature should cause the very large pro-
portion Of city property now shielded by this
exemption to bear its fair proportion of the
city's burdens-
The ground has been taken, however, that the
exemption having been authorized by act of
Congress, the Legislature has no power to abol-
ish it. In the case OF a claim for refunding of
general taxes paid on certain school and college
property from which exemption is claimed from
taxation under said act, the Auditor has re-
jected IT on the ground that Congress subse-
quently-in the organic act-deegated to the
Legislature full power over the subject, and
that the said Legislature provided what prop
erty should be exempt. The same ruling would
PPly to church property. The act of Congress
remptiRg church property from taxation was
passed June 18th, $50; and the organic act
Februahy 2lst. 1911. In the opinion of good
legal authority there is no question that the
Legislative assembly we're empowered to legis-
hate on the subject

The ENGLIsH WAY OF DONE IT.-In the
Estimates for the year ending March 3Ist, 1874.
recently submitted to the British Parliament
occurs an estimate Of the sum which will be re-
quired for the year ending 31st March, 1874. to
defrsy the expense of rewards for distinguished
services and rewards on discharge for good
conduct. The items are as follows: Rewards TO
officers for distinguished services, SlO7 500; re-
wards TO sergeants for distinguished or merito-
rious services, s2i,s75; Victoria cross pensions,
- $50: gratuities for long service and good con-
duct on discharge, $4,000; gratuities to we'll
conducted soldiers on or after discharge from
the army, or from army service, to an amount
not exceeding the balance in hand on the gen.
eral fund which has been formed from the
fines inflicted upon soldiers for drunkenness,

The extortions Of the hotels in Vienna, Mr..
Fulton writes to the Baltimore American, land
by the way his letters are among the very best
written from there, have had the effect to keep
away numbers who proposed to visit the great
fair, and to cause those who do 60 to make their
stay as short as possible. But for these extor-
lions Vienna would now be crowded, and the
money that Is being spent among the stores of
Dresden. Munich, Berlin and Frankfort would
have gone into the pockets of the viennese
storekeepers. Most of the strangers now at
Vienna are North Germans, who refuse to paw
anything but Berlin and Dresden prices. The
English, Americans and Russians have to sub
NIT, but they make haste to get through with
their sightseeing and take their departure.

The remarks Of Mr.. JJhn III. Brooks in the
Council last night on the color amendment of
the House Of Delegates TO the normal school bill
are deserved rebuke to the small politicians
who drag the question of race into all sorts of
measures, not because they are 80 very friendly
to the colOred people, but because without COL
ored mems votes they would remain in obscur-
ity. Nh Brooks, himself one of our most intel
ligent colOred citizens, in his able argument, a
brief abstract Of which is given in the report of
the proceedings in our local columns, CLEARLY sets
forth that Congress having established and
perpetuated separate schools for the white and
coiored children, and provided that the blacks
should have their far proportion of the school
fund accor-lng TO their ratio of children of
schoolasle age, it would be unjust i'm the Dis
trict legislature to place colored children in
school Where their education would have to be
paid for out of the fund fairly allotted for the
schooling of white children.

Newark, New Jersey, seems to be suffering
like Washington from the dog nuisance, judi e
ing from long communication in the Morninq
Register Of that city, which is headed: Wanted
Dog Pound-FrightfOl Increase Of the Canine
Species-The Streets Made Unsafe by Cnmuz-

the worthless ours in Georgetown and some

with their yelping. Attic meeting of the Board
ofHeslth last night the best mode of disposing
OF these quadrupedal MOdocs after they are
Caught was discussed, and it was agreed to
snoot them just behind the ear. Good enough,
put tnen the catching is what needs particular
