SECRETARY RICHARDSON IN DANGER-MrNtSrER JAY
MARKED FOR REMOVAL.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE rRIBCSE.l
LONG Branch. June 2i.-The President, acconpa-
pied by Thomas Murphy, left here to-day for Wash
ington He was visited last evening by several gem
tlemen who urged the removal Of Mr.. Richardson
from the Treasury Department and it is known that
Wal-st is making determined effort TO induce the
President to make this change. +. d. MORGAN Is
urged for the succession, and all these facts and
Others that cannot now be given induce well-in-
formed men here to believe that the Presidents
visit to Washington at this time has ref
erence to this subject. Persons who have
spoken to the President lately on this matter say
that while he did not declare his intention of making
a speedy change in the Treasury Department, they
left his presence with the belief that his decision
was made to do so. 1t is also ascertaned that the
official life of Minister Jay will terminate upon the
close Of the Vienna Exposition. He has long been
marked by the President for removal, and ne would
have been displaced several months ago but for the
fact that his long residence at Vienna seemed to fur
nish a sufficient reason to the Administration for
retaining him and his experience during such an
important period.

The Springfield city school board has
stricken the word white" out of the rules
governing the admission Of pupils to the
city schools thus opening the doors of the
schools to the colared children The Beg
lister censures the board for this act and
says
IF there was no public school for colored
children, maintained by the taxpayers Of
the city, there might be pretext for this
action but the city is already keeping up,
at considerable expense, school especially
for the colored people, people who pay
very small share Of taxes for the support
OF public institutions and who, we believe,
were not generally demanding this action
of the Board Of Education Besides this
action being a wrong on a majority of the
people OF the city, it is also a great injury
to the eol0red children. There is no use
denying that prejudice does exist between
the whites and blacks This prejudice is
one of the facts of the case The intro
duction Of col0red children will give full
vent, on all occasions, to this prejudice, as
it is well known that one Of the most diff
cult duties of the teachers in the public
schools now, is to prevent the strong from
imposing upon the weak pupils 1t is easy
to see how greatly this duty will be in
creased upon the introduction of negro
children to our public schools, and how
! much this class will he benefited in learn
ing, by living and being in a constant state
of terror and embarrassment.

That Alters The Case

The Chicago Post thinks that the pro-
vision of the bankrupt law which renders
the non payment of commercial obliga-
tion for fourteen days an act of bankrupt
cy, is outrageously unjust What makes
the Post think SO is the fact that a Chica-
go chap named Ripley presented check
at one of the suspended banks in Chicago
and when payment was refused, he pro
tested it, and threatened to apply for the
appointment of Il receiver. The provision
seems to be very stringent one, but we
are puzzled to know why, as the Post is a
Republican paper, it never found out the
weakness of the law until it was applied to
a national bank. The farmers and BUSH
ness men Of the state have endured the
enforcement Of this provision ever since
the passage of the law and no Radical pa
per has had a word to say, but now that
somebody proposes to apply it to nation
al bank, all Radical newspaperdom is up
in arms.

Burglary.

Last night two men were seen to carry a
trunk away from the house of Vim. Kay,
near st. Mary's church, but those who saw
it thought nothing wrong. 1t turned out,
however, that the trunk was stolen, and
that it contained womens and children :
clothing, dresses, shawl, etc Notice was
given to the City Marshal, and to-day a
fellow was found in Davenport jail with
part of the missing articles His name is
VIM Smith, a one handed fellow, who
was known over there as a thief and was
arrested on suspicion, because he had a
bundle with him. He is now in our jail.
Who or where the other man Is, has not
yet been ascertained.

As we understand the matter, the sums
set against each company are the sums as
sessed upon these corporations in addition
to the assessments already made upon their
property by the township assessors, aud
adding the two together will show the full
sum on which these companies are to pay
taxes. If this is the case the private cor
porations of the whole State will probably
resist the collection of this tax in the courts
to the last end of the road They cannot
and will not pay it-nor is it just that they
should pay it, These private corporations,
organized under the general incorporation
law are simply partnerships between the
persons carrying on the business, and are
thus organized simply as matter Of con
venence between the parties, in order
that no disturbance can occur in the bust
ness from the death of any of the partners
or from any dissatisfaction with the man
ner of conducting the bushes. If
any one Of the partners is dis
satisfied he can sell his stock,
but can't jostle the business. His stock
certificate is simply his title to the proper
" he owns His tangible property, debts
due, cash in hand, etc. is first taxed By
the township assessor, - and then the
State Board steps IN and taxes the title to
his property. 1t would be equally just, al
ter taxing the farmer on his lands, to then
4 tax him over again on the deed or title Il
his lands.
1t may be, however, that these private
corporations are quite as much in fault as
the Board of Equalization, for they may
have neglected TO make out and deliver Il
the township assessor the sworn statemen
required by section y of the revenue law
The practice, heretofore, has been fo
township assessors to treat all these private
organizations simply as partnerships an,
assess the tangible property only, including
Of course, monies and credits. Not hay
ing made any such sworn statement as re
quired by law, the State Board proceede,
to assess an additional sum for the stock
or what, in fact, can only he regarded a
the partnership papers or agreement be
tween the owners. We expect to see
lively discussion on the subject in the pa
pers, and a stubborn resistance to the col
lection Of what Is manifestly an outrageous
~ unjust tax.

We see by the columns of the Herald,
that Hon. L. d. Whiting, not satisfied with
the efforts of his incompetent, has taken
the pen from him, mounted the editorial
tripod, and proceeded to blow his own horn
to the best of his ability. But it makes no
difference, their little game can not win.
