they did not pay up their designations would be
received. They directed to go to No. 62H
West Baltimore street, where some one would be
in waiting to take the money and give them re-
cepts. The amount levied was one and half per
cent upon all salaries under $4,000 and two per

went up to pay the money found that it was re-
tive Committee in secluded back room, and that
they could obtain no Acknowledgements or their pay

the Filley precedent in st. Louis, refused to pay
the money and have been deal to the
hints which have been given them to hurry
them to believe that the government Will not sane

the Surveyor and Naval Ofiicer over the heads OF
the recusants, and they have been summoned to
pay or go. The matter is elicijing much comment
and the other o1icehoiders are anxiousy awaiting
