TIE FINANCIAL CRISIS IN AUSTRIA ENDED -
The money crisis in Vienna, which threatened
TO bring the Exposition to an abrupt and dis
graceful close, has happily been got over
The bankers Of the city came to the rescue
with twelve million forms, and the govern
ment, by an arrangement with the National
Bank, increased the sum to twenty millions.
This is well. Let us hope now that all things
will work well at Vienna, and that the Ex-
position, which has not yet been much of o
success, will come up to the high expectations
.prigipally formed Of it.

THE CALIFORNIA TAX DECISION.

The State Board Of Equalization In
California has, in q recent decision by
the Supreme Court, been declared to
be a Constitutional institution, and all
tho powers conferred upon 1t by the
Code are upheld. The power to equal
ize valuations between counties Is In
cluded In the above, IS also that OF
making allowance for dolinquencies
In fixing the rate Of State taxation.
In any particular In which the San
Francisco Consolidation Act conflicts
with the authority Of the Board of
Equalization. the Act Is null and void.
A tax upon a solvent debt secured BY
mortgage is declared to be a double
tax, and therefore unconstitutional.
This last question has been decided
directly against the position formerly
occupied by the Court, and completely
revolutionizes the theory Of taxing
debts. Under the decision Us now
rendered, II we tightly understand It,
solvent debts Of every description, In
Guiding money loaned on mortgage or
deposited In bank, are held not to be
subject to taxation. The decision
aairms the legality Of tho tax levy,
and settles questions which have been
4 source Of conflict aud u~nsaslnsss
throughout the State.

A THUNpERBoI!T which zane down
last Saturday, at Milton, Connecticut,
and paid particular attention to tho
house of Mr.. Brown. deserves record
for Its singular and vigorous behavior.
1t began by demolishing the lightning
rod in the most sarcastic and scornful
manner. 1t then entered y second
story room Of the house, out a hole six
feet square in the floor, demolished the
stove. and broke every plate Of glass
In the window, after which 1t mildly
entered the dining-room, and ripped
up the floor. 1t made mlnced.meat $50
to speak, of the wash-room. 1t left that
house without any und~erpinning to
speak of. Then it paid ITS respects to
the barn, went back to the house, and
violated the sanctity OF q servant
maids room. The poor girl was just
%innocently adjusting her hair In tho
looklng-glass when she was thrown
violently backward on the bed by the
furious thund&bolt, and she says she
will never be vain again. In a neigh
boring house the risky element ''scat-
tered q quantity Of soft soap and tore
one rivet from q frying PAM" There
never was such q bolt before. .

u RECEIVE 1T.

Gifts Of money stolen from the
Treasury by Congressman don't seem
to be received with very hearty out
pourings Of gratitude by the various
constituency Of our back-pay grabben.
We mentioned, the other day, that
some Of the supporters of Gen. Farms
worth, who. though he voted against
the bill, took his back pay and divided
1t in his Congressional district not
appropriating any to his own use, were
very 10th to take the gift; and now
comes n story from Minnesota wherein
~ direct and personal snub was given.
Congressman Dunnell, who also voted
against the bill, yet took the money,
sent some Of his extra pay to a Baptist
church which he was In the habit Of
attending. It was Immediately re-
turned with the emphatic assurances
that they didn't want and wouldn't
touch stolen money. 1t won't take
many months, we hope, TO teach Con-
gressmen that the only place In which
that money property belongs Is the
United States Treasury.

Its employees to various seaports In En-
rope, with Instructions to disguise
themselves so as to travel entirely In

sengers In the various regular steam
ship and emigrant lines, to our mind
appears highly proper and commend
able. Stories OF bad food and worse
treatment; Of closely packed holes and
filthy accommodations; Of unwhole-
some water and impure air ; Of brutal
ity and crime; Of impositlons BY
shipmasters and exaotlons by sub

these inspectors would draw upon their
imaginations to a large extent for the
details which they would give on their

average Department employe would
take a trip to Europe free Of charge, If
compelled to return as all emigrant In

that they will give as infinitely truth

MEMORIAL DAY-From time immcmorial it
has always been customary to honor the bravo
especially those who upon the altar of their
country's love have offered up their lives. In
connection with such memorial services we pub
fish the following lines by Father Ryan:
Do we weep fer the heroes who died for us?
Who living were true and tried for us,
And in death sleep side by side for us?
The Martyr band
That hullowed our land
With tho blood they poured in n tide for us
Ali fearless on many day for us,
They stood in the front of the fray for us,
And he'd the foeman ut bay for us;
Fresh tears shall fall
Forever-o'er al
Who fell while wearing the gray for us
How many glorious name for us
How many story of fame for Us
They loft Would it not be shame for us
If their memory part
From our land and heart?
And wrong and blame for us2
No-no-no-they werc slain for us,
And bright were tho lives they gave for us;
The land they struggled to save for us
Cannot forget
Its warriors yet
Who sleep in SO many grave for us.
Mountaineering were slain Tor US
Aud their blood flowed out i'll vain for us,
Red, rich and pure, on the plain for Us:
And years may go,
But our tears shall flow
Ger the dcad who have died in vain for Us.
Ard their dceds, proud deeds, shall remain for us,
And their names, dear names, without stair for us.
And the glores they won shall not wanc for Us.

C. & O. RAILROAD The president Of the
Chrsapc cake and Ohio railroad has stated, or is
reported as stating, that for the present the
terminus of that road would be at Yorktown.
Ii is said that the most feasible route for ship
canal from the York to the james river is just
at this point, and that this same company pur-
chased years ago very considerable belt OF land
between Yorktown and james river on this
line. The recent final termination, as to title
of the famous Anderson suit, ends all previous
mpedimcuts to this grand scheme, by which
the canal boats and battcaux from the Ohio
river can at all times be towcd in safety to
dccp-water shipping. The erection Of the
railroad depot on the land recently purchased
by the company of the Anderson dcviscs would
Seem to indicate the construction at no very
distant day of the ship canal in question. We
do not profess to be in the secret Of any con
tcmplated movements by this company, under
its present energetic management, but know
ing the difficulties in the way of the several
proposed schemes by which to reach deep
water terminus for that road we are at liberty
to make shrcwd guess.
Here, thcn we have the sure prospect Of the
speedy completion OF a continuous line Of rail
road from York; to the Valley Of Mississippi
ri, and continuous water line from the Ohio
river to Yorktown These completed, trade
will come to us from beyond the Great Father
OF Waters, with all its tributary channels of
commerce, stopping at Richmond for the coast
trade of the Atlantic, and pursuing its way to
Yorktown for shipment to foreign countries -

WEDNESDAY, JUNE4, 1873.

The trial Of G. II Henderson on the charge
Of having murdered DR.. Merryman Cole IN
January, 1872, still occupies the attention OF
the Criminal Court Of Baltimore. Also, In Do
yer (Del.) the trial Of Isaac c. West for the
murder of Henry Turner, colored laborer,
is progressing. The alleged crime was conf
mitted in Dover on Monday, December
2, 1872, when Turner went to Vests Office and
was there made away with, his head, hands and
feet cut off, his body skined, and efforts ap-
parently made to destroy the building and the
body by FIRE. West was engaged in the manu-
facture Of gas. said to be nothing more than
nitrous oxide gas, and when the homicide was
discovered it was thought the mutilated body
found iu the Office was that of West himself
he having disappeared, and that an explosion
of the gas had occasioned the disaster.
