1t is very desirable that the amount appro-
priated at the commencement of the year, for
each department., should be sufficient to cover
the expenditures to be made, and that it
should be distinctly understood in those de-
partments in which the amounts can be def
nitely fixed and limited, that the sum will not
be increased by further appropriations during
the year. This will tend to bring the finances
under better control, and check any tendency
to improvident expenditure. as no money can
be drawn from the treasury unless appropria-
ted, the power to expend would fall with the
exhausted appropriation.
As the amount of money now raised by tax
alton is very large, and is increasing, the as
sessment becomes matter of great impor-
lance; and as inequalities will occur of great
er or less shades of difference, even in the
most labored and painstaking assessments,
assessments are frequently cause of griev-
Gus complaints. Many complaints, howev-
er, are apt to arise from the disinterested tri-
bunal of assessors to the compliments own
interested judgment. Valuation is not arbi~
trary, but relative, and great pains should be
taken to carry the standard of valuation
throughout the city, and apply it with unde-
WAITING impartiality; and yet, with good judg-
ment and extensive knowledge Of the value of
property, a board of assessors may find them
selves required to sit in judgment on their own
doings, as court for the correction of errors.

MR.. HOdRS LETTER.

The Hon. Geo. +. Hoar has published in
The Worcester Gazette a spicy and enter
tanning letter, devoted partly to the subject
of his own back-pay and partly to the
character of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler They
are both picturesque subjects; but our
business at present is only with the
former of them. BY reference to the table
which we published two weeks ago, it will be
seen that Mr.. Hoar is one of the Congressman
who voted steadily against the back-pay bill
from first to last. His judgment of that meas
ure was pretty sound one so far az it went.
He calls it "a very Objectionable and extreme
Exercise of an admitted constitutional power"
an exercise of power 80 gross, sOuncalled for,
extreme, as to constitute an abuse of the
confidence n'placed in Congress by the Con-
stitution. Moreover, Mr.. Hoar knew some
thing about the history of the bill which gave
it still more offensive appearance. "a prop
POSITION to increase the salary of the Presi-
"dent,n he says, chad been voted out of
"order by a majority of the Committee of
the Whole when moved as an amendment
ito an appropriation bill. The same thing,
"and largely by the same votes, was voted
"to be in order with the addition of the
clause increasing the salaries of members of
Congress- 1t was a shameful transac-
ton from beginning to end. 1t was
gross breach of confidence, a breach of
decorum, and breach of parliamentary law.
The national stronghold was first opened a
little way, just to let the President get his
hand in, and the honorable members of Con-
gress sat on the lid and said, ooh, no, that is
"wrong-unless we go shares with your
Then it was opened little more for their
beneft-and at once the members who were
going home for good, and had not been re-
elected, put in their protest, and clamored for
back-pay as the price of voting for the pros
pective increase. That is the way the salary
grab was managed, and Mr.. HOar, INSTANTLY
"on the passage of the bill,n determined
" not TO receive the money!
1t is pity that the good sense of the Mas
sachusetts Representative should have de-
serted him Just at this critical moment. If it
was unbecoming for him to receive the money,
il was because the money did not equitably
belong to him. If taking back-pay out of the
Treasury was "a gross abuse Of confidence
then it was the business of an honest man to
put it back where it belonged. Legally it was
his; that is to say, he could not be convicted
of theft or ENLIGHTENMENT in taking it; but
morally it was not his not his to keep, and
therefore not his to give away. Mr.. Hoar,
however, instead of returning the money 10
the Treasury, from which he himself declares
that it ought not TO have been drawn, pre-
scented it to the Worcester Institute. If 1t was
wrong for him to take it, was it not equally
wrong for the Institute TO do the same thing
