prussian system, the entire issuo OF journal
may be seized by the police without any
judicial warrant, and detained for twelve
hours. If. within that time, the police authori-
ties are unable TO procure warrant from
court of law, they return the edition when IL
has lost all pecuniary value and the editor Is
without redress. He Is practically condemned
before trial. This unjust system 1t II proposed
TO transfer to the German Empire without
modification.
A new and ingenious method Of harasSing
the journalist is borrowed from the Li6
French Empire. Any person considering him-
self aggrieved by a statement III newspaper
may demand the insertion, in the next ISSUE
of counter statement of twice the length Ol
the original article. This paragraph OF the
bill is so framed that, if a corporation Is at
tackled, every person holding stock in it may
write statement for the journal, which may
thus be compelled by law to publish number
of tho paper equal in bulk to the combined
numbers for month or more. The device
of the Prussian Government is precisely
the same as the law which served to
extinguish Henri RochefOTts LaRterne in
the last days of the French Empire.
In examining the thirty-One paragraphs of this
bill, all designed 10 circumscribe the powers
of editors, but purporting to ameliorate the
condition of the press in Prussia, we find it
difficult TO account for the fact that so little
agitation has been made for more perfect free
dom. If the proposition of this bill shall have
the effect of causing more general criticism OF
existing laws, we shall not regard the course
of the Government without qualification, for
anything like thorough discussion OF the
condition of the press musb soon result in the
concession of greater privileges.

CITY AND COUNTY TAXES FOE 1873.

CITY AND COUNTY TAXES FOR 1873.
We confess we do not fully understand the
estimates for the appropriations and taxes Of
the current year, as agreed upon and pub
lished by the Board of Estimate and AppOr-
tionment. The taxes are to be $2709S, ,7GS,
against S32 2O36,291 in 1872. This reduction
would be very satisfactory were it not that
the relief appears to be possible only at the
cost of a corresponding increase of the i'm
mense funded debt of the city and county.
We notice, first, that the appropriation for
interest on this debt is only $6,500,000, against
S8, ,4S5308 last year. How this reduction of
interest is possible, when the principal on
which the interest is paid is about $40 0OO,O 900
larger than it was year ago, we are at loss to
comprehend. In January last, Controller Green
sent letter to Mayor IIavemeyer in which he
communicated to the Mayor the action Of the
Board of ApportOnment, fixing the estimates
and taxes for 1878. As then "fxed and
determined" the total of appropriations was
$37, ,SO9, ,73O and the appropriation for interest
on the city and county debt was S8,485,30S, OF
exactly the sum which was raised in 1872.
The difference between tho estimates of the
Board of AppOrtiOnment made in November
last and those published on Saturday is nearly
eight million dollars. Two millions are ac-
counted for by this mysterious reduction in
the interest charges on the city and county
debt of $13OOOO,0OO and odd. Three and a
half millions more are nominal saving
made by the county's electing to pay pOr
ton of the State tax by an issue of bonds
instead of by taxation. A million and half
more are cut off by pOstpOning until next year
the tax for the payment Of the final Install
ment of the city's share of the cost of Com
modOre Vanderbilt's Fourth-ave. improvement.
About seven and a quarter of the eight mill
ions reduction is thus accounted for.
On the other hand we find no provision
made for the payment of the State tax of 1873,
due one-half on the 18th of April, and the
other half on the 1st of May, 1874. This will
require over seven million dollars, which sum
must be borrowed, and eight months interest
paid thereon. We see no appropriation for
One-ffth the cost OF the new City Prison,
which is required by law to be raised by tax
alton this year. We cannot pretend to be
thoroughly informed about "A subject on which
so little information is communicated to tho
public as the proceedings Of the Board of APP
DortiOnment. yet il does seem 10 us that the
