The INCREAsE-The increase in each mans
taxes in this city which will be caused If the
City Council raise the per centum from one
and quarter to one and half will be such
rs that man who now pays seven dollarSwill
hereafter pay eight the State tax being now
fifty cents and the city tax one dollar and
twenty-five cents; and in the same proper.
ton for any greater or less sum. This in
crease will enable the State to pay all her
bills for schooling children, for taking care
of the poor, and every other bill, including
S245, 900 for interest, and also to pay her po-
licemcn and cmploye, of every sort punctu-
ally.
The failure to do this would give lis great
trouble next year. The city will be sixty or
seventy thousand dollars bchindhand; the
school teachers, policemen. &C., will all be
dissatisfied; her credit will be gone; and it
will take ten years and cost her ten times the
amount of the increase in taxes to recover
the position which she now holds.

Conparatiye Mortality of Cities.

The New York Board Of Health has just
Published report which gives the rate OF
mortality for the year 1871 of tifty-tive cities
OF these only fourteen are set down as
harinya higher average than Richmond.
Richmond is reported AS having lost 3i.4
persons oIt Of every thousand.
The figures given by the New York Board
OF Health are utterly worthless for the pur-
pose Tor which they were intended. in the
,ir>t pIacc-and this renders worthless the
Whole calcuiation-thc population of Rich
inond is set down at entirely too low figure
The whole Number of deaths was 1.552
Putting the population Of Richmond at the
nImber stated in the census Of 1870 the
dca,h.rate wa, about thirty in thou
sand-a rate which would show Rich.
mond to he as healthful as more
than half the cities named. But the
fact is that the population Of Richmond
j. nc1rer 10000 than $4,000, as is shown by
The number of registered voters here. Stating
il, however, ut G0,000, the death-rate runs
down to twentr-siX in II thousand-a rate
Which, would place Richmond above thirty.
four Of the tifty-tivc cite, named in point OF
hcathfulnc>s. We do not believe that even
this low rate does justice to the advantages
Of Richmond, even when we lose sight oil
the fact that nearly half Of our population
consl>:s OF negroes, amongst whom the
average dcathrate is. we think, double what
II Is among the whites. And if the mortality
amongst the whites only be taken into con
sidc:ation-as is actually the case with the
European cities, and practically the case with
The northern cities, with which Richmond is
compared, it will appear that this is what
we who reside here know it to bc-one OF
the most healthful cities in the world.
The Board of Health OF this city has had
reported to it the number Of births here last
year. How unfortunate that the Beard was
not furnished with few more policemen
and enabled to take the correct census ofthe
entire population. We need it for more
reasons than one. The census of 1870 was
taken by persons who felt, as they had, no
interest 10 the prosperity of the city, and
who if this fact had been otherwise, were
incompetent to the performance of their
duties. We believe that some of them were
ur@roes. Their report dwarfs Richmond
aud HtlatcS all calculations based upon
ii. 1t places Richmond twenty fourth in
the list OF cities in this country, when she
ought to tie about the twentieth, We Judge
s new census would cost next TO nothing
Shal We not have it.
