TAXATION.

Whilst we believe il is nothing NOR
than right TO place the merchant on Al
equality with other taxpayers in regar'
10 the rate OF taxation, it is NANTES
that the rules for aseertaining and as
sessing values should likewise be uni
form aud equitable. II farmer ha
no right to fix the market value OF BIZ
land and personal property, it looks like
en- unfair discrimination to allow thu
merchant to set the taxable value upon
his merchandise. The law, as it exists
makes the collector Of the merchants
tax an assessor also, and he has no au
thority to 90 behind a merchants report
however low it may be made. We
would favor a law establishing the
Office Of assessor, which should be
adjacent to the tax Offices, and run for
term Of three or Eve years at fixed
salary, not to be increased by fees or per
ouisites, who would assess merchandise
and privileges as well as realty and per-
sonal property. Then the tax collectors
would become only tax receivers, and
their duty would be so plain and easy
that only small compensation compare
lively would be required for their SER
vices. Full settlements should be made
by such tax receivers every month, and
their books, papers and vouchers exam
med that often by county board ap-
pointed for the purpose. Under such
regulations heavy deialcations would
become impossible. the public would be
protected and officials would not be sub
iected TO enormous and embarrassing
bonds. Honest officers do not object to
being held to the most rigid accountable
ity, but excessive bonds required by the
present law is a source of evil not gen.
orally understood. While it may be
proper to limit official profits it is equally
lust to limit official responsibilities, and
TO establish restrictions which will pro-
teet the State without tying the hands
and feet of every officer who has to
handle few thousand dollars Of State
and county revenue. Frequent settle
ments and inspections would be the best
possible protection on both sides. Let
all the taxes fall due on a certain day,
say the Grst of April, and give every
taxpayer thirty days in which to pay, and
after that let him be charged at the rate
of seven per cent. per annum for further
delay. The people could then go to the
office of the assessor and ascertain pre-
cisely what they owe and make arrange
ments accordingly within the following
thirty days. Such system would save
everybody an infinite amount of annoy
ance and uncertainty.

The polar sea.

A writer in Nature thinks that the
open Polar Sea must be discovered very
soon, if it is to be discovered at all. He
says that the land is rising everywhere
north of the ffty.seYenth parallel OF lat
itude, and that the most marked rising
is around the pole itself, so that there
will soon be no open Polar Sea to dis.
cover, If indeed there is one now. In
support Of his position he makes some
citations Of interesting facts. Pliny
said that Scandinavia was an. archipel-
ago, and spoke of bold seamen who had
eircumnavigated the group Of islands.
Ptolemy confirmed the statement Cele-
sius said in the seventeenth century that
Norway was rising at the rate OF forty
inches year. Sir Charles Lyell indorses
the theory. The water level in the Gulf
of Bothnia falls one foot every fifteen
years. Near Geffe there are low pastures
where old men remember seeing boats
aAoat. Near Stockholm, seventy feet
above the level of the sea, the remains
of shellfsh identical with the present
coast species are found At Soduleige,
ninety feet above high water, there is a
bed Of sand which contains some
wrecked boats and an old anchor Ia
the interior Of Spitzbergen, skeletons Of
whales have been unearthed above sea
level The fishermen say that the land
has risen SO much that the shallownegs
Of the water has driyep away thu Rhita
whale, WHICH, once shandslt, ia now
rarely seen. On the Pacific, the shores
around Behring's Strait are low and Hat,
but a mile OF two back there are ranges
or bluffs parallel with the coast, and con-
tanning innumerable shells Of the littorRl
species.

New YORK, January pa meeting

Horace Greeley takes place tonight
A motion will be made that the sum al

erection Of a bronze statue in Central

from New Hampshire; also, that simple

Greenwood. The motion will likely be
adopted.
A Liverpool dispatch yesterday an
nounced that the steamer Baltic's last
trip from Sandy Hook to Queenstown
was accomplished in seven days twenty
four hours and nine minutes, the quick
est passage ever made between the two
Continents.
The proposed rapid transit railroad
company of this city is receiving great
attention among capitalists. Those who
favor the building of an underground
road to East New York have had a
meeting and appointed committee to
canvass the city to solicit subscriptions
to build the road to Flatbush, which was
legalized by the last Legislature, and
has already sold 100000 worth Of
stock. The amount still to be sub
scribed ia 100000.
Ex-Msyer Kalbaeisch is getting better,
and is able to walk about his chamber.
He has announced his determination to
come down stairs to-day.
At a meeting of the SANTANA Bay
Company yesterday Alvin B. Stockwell
was elected President and Paul N.
Spofford Vice President. A report Of
commissioners was made. 1t is stated
that as regards the general laws of the
Republic regulating corporations, but
little is known beyond its own limits,
and are based upon the French civil
code, which is itself in many essential
respects different from the systems to
which English speaking people are ae
customed in such matters. The com
missioners, therefore, insisted upon
making the treaty express in the usual
form such a regular charter act for the
corporation as would be granted by
P&zliament or the Legislature Of this
State. The corporation is authorized to
carry on the ordinary business opera
tons in all particulars, and with regard
TO the Companys power. its board Of
directors. and the rights and liabilities
of individual stockholders, making it a
complete code in itself. After the Elk
ecutiFe Convention, tie commissioners
we're handsomely entertained by PFesi-
dent Baez at the State Hall. During
the period Of their sojourn in San Do
mingO they we're treated Hospitality by
the citizens. After reading the report
the directors adjourned.
