Pulpit Topics To-day.

Three general topics will occupy the atten-
ton of our city pastors to-day-religion, ortho-
dox, liberal and imperfect; death and resur-
rection and suffering and work. The treat
ment of these topics will doubtless run on the
lines Depreciation and practical thought, and
according to the elaboration and care dis
played by the several pastors, will prove fruit
full or barren of good works and better lives
in the congregations. Mr.. Rossiter will be-
gin with ''Onr Religion" telling what it is
and what it does, and showing forth it's in
trinsc value and its inherent goodness, SO
that men may love it for its own sake. Mr..
Corbit will illustrate phases Of Imperfect
Religion" and will set over against this the
religion of faith and obedience as portrayed
by Abraham in the Offering up of his son
Isaac on Mount Moriah. Mr.. Pratt will take
up another phase of religion and
will show us what "True Liberal

Our CRY political gossip to-day shows that
there is at present but little activity among
the politicians. The question of interest
among them is who shall be the next Mayor
Of New York. Mr.. John Kelly rules Tam
many, and he can nominate himself for
the qualification of personal ambition, or
be can name candidate who will
unite the democratic party and insure
victory. Ii he places his own name at the
head of the ticket he will render division of
the party certain and risk another overthrow.
If he accepts the position Of leader of the
democracy for the good of the party and
dominates peoples candidate for Mayor he
will strengthen himself, unite the party and
render success o certainty.

THE COURT HOUSE COMMISSIONERS yester-
day took torcible possession of room in the
new Court House building. The act will, no
doubt, bring prompt legal decision as to the
status of these officials. Grave doubts exist
as to the legality of their appointment, and
the well timed letter of Presidents Vance and
Wheeler shows that if they are en-
titled to hold the offices they claim
TO fill the public interests demand
that they should at present refrain from any
official acts. There is no money for them to
expend on the work of completing the Court
House. and all they can do is to entail need
less expense on the taxpayers. Ii they persist
in forcing themselves into sinecure positions
they should at least be restrained By iniunc-
hon from mourning any liabilities for which
the city may be held responsible.

QUEEN VICTORIA yesterday commenced the
thirty-seventh year of her reign. The day
was celebrated in England by the ring
ing of bells, the firing of salutes and
other demonstrations suitable to the occa-
sion 1t is noteworthy that on Tues
day OF last week the Pope completed
the twenty-seventh year OF his reign. It
is not unfair, VIC think, to say that of all
the European rulers of the time these two are
the most popular They have ruled during
the most momentous years of modern history;
and we believe we express the general senti-
ment of the American people when we say
that the death of the one or the other
would be felt to be worldwide calamity
N troublous times the Queen has main-
tanned the dignity OF the throne and won the
love of her subjects. In times OF serious peril
the Pope has maintained the authority Of
the chair Of 81, Peter, and, if the TEMPORAL
power is gone, TIE spiritual power is greater
than ever. Both nave ruled wisely and we'll.
and both have won The respect of the world

IHE JEROME PARK iVAcEs.-In the presence
OF q numerous and brilliant assemblage the
last races OF the spring meeting were run yes
terday at jerome Park IF any nroo.s we're
needed of the growing interest felt nv ,be>
public in the noble sport of horse racing !,
would have been furnished by the cav and
brilliant assemblage gathered in jerome parl
Fortunately the weather, which for a mo,oo,,
was threatening, held up bravely, and the sir
events came happily of, 50 that there was
Nothing to mar the pleasure Of the day. Year
by year this course grows in public esteem and
though the masses do not yet evince the same
interest in Jerome Park that the London null
titude takes in the Derby, yet we believe that
with time Jerome Park will occupy the same
position in America as Longchamps and the
Derby do in Europe. The members of the
American Jockey Club deserve the highest
praise for their untiring efforts to place horse
racing in America on a sound footing and
render the sport as attractive as it has been
made in England and France.

COMMITTEE ON CANALS AND DRAINAGE
New Orleans, February "a 1874.
TO the Honorable Speaker and Members OF the
House OF Representatives,:
Your Committee on Canals and Drainage,
among other matters called to their atten-
ton. deemed it their duty to examine the
work done on the New canal. On proceed
ing TO do so it was found necessary to make
certain measurements to enable them to
arrive at just conclusions. AS they were not
familiar with such duties-in fact did not
have the necessary instruments with which
these measurements were to beImade-they
deemed it advisa BILE to request your homer
able BODY to pass resolution directing the
chief engineer to make the necessary meas
urements and report to this committee A
resolution to this effect was passed by this
honorable House and its contents cOmmuni-
Gated to the chief engineer. The absence
of that officer in the discharge of his duties
in the interior of the State caused some de-
lay. On his return, however, accompanied
by some members of the committee, the
State engineer began his examination,
which he subsequently carried on in the
manner and with the results mentioned by
him in the subjoined communication, which
we approve, and which we make part of
this our report, with the request that the
same be adopted by this honorable body.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Mr.. Weber submitted the following:
80 the Honorable Senate and House Of Repfesen;
tatives of the State of Louisiana. in Genera!
Assembly convened
We, the undersigned, citizens of the town
of Bayou Sara. in the parish OF West tellcl-
ana. and situated at the confluence of the
BAYOU Sara and the Mississippi river, re-
specttully represent that the Bayou Sara,
large and rapid bayou or creek, bounding
the town on the west, has been 1Or num-
Der of wears, and still is encrOaching upon
the town. Already many thousands OF dol
lars worth of property has been washed
away, and much more, including residences,
etorehouses, saw mills and tenement build
ings, is imperiled.
That the impoverishment of the planting
interests of the parish. upon which the
town depends for its trade, has Frustrated
all branches of trade and industry for the
present to such an extent that the property
holders and business men OF the town are
utterly unable to pay tax or subscription
to erect works to check the caving OF the
banks of said bayou.
That the attention Of the last Legislature
being called to these facts, an appropriation
of $4,000 was made to construct break
waters, etc, but that the appropriation was
exhausted before the work could be COM
pleted and made effective.
Your petitioners represent that even the
imperfect work has done much to protect
the town, assuring complete protection IN
case OF the completion.
Our town is protected from overflow by
ievees and draining machine, and unless
the washing away of the levees on the
Bayou Sara creek are prevented, the town
will be constantly in danger of overflow
during high water.
Your petitioners therefore pray that your
honorable body will grant a further appro-
priaton Of $1,000 TO complete the works
already begun. which have cost $4,000. and

DEidNnUENT TAXES.

Under special act, passed by the last
Legislature, providing for the collection OF
the delinquent taxes of 1929 and 1873
IA, the tax collectors of Placer county, it
will be noticed, as well as of other counties
where such delinquencies exist, have adver-
tised that if these taxes are not paid prior
to July 1st, 1874, twenty five per cent. will
be added to the amount thereof, and the
Controller is authorized to commence suit
against the delinquents, in the name of the
peopl, of the State of California, to collect
the same. The delinquent taxes in Placer
county, for the fiscal years named, aggregate
no small amount. Those knowing them
selves to be among the list, will save the
twenty-five per cent. additional, and the
cost of a lawsuit, by coming forward and
promptly settling what they must know to
be their just dues. The railroad company
figure largely on this list in Placer county,
and knowing, as they must knows by this
time, the determination of the people of
Placer to have what properly belongs to
them, it would be wisdom OIL their part also
to make prompt settlement. San Francis
co is delinquent, for 1872 and 1878, over
$500 900. This is large amount, an
amount which the money-bags of San Fran
cisco seem 10th to disgorge. and it is thought
by some that, in spite of the recent legisla-
tive act, they will still refuse to pay this
just debt, and appeal to the courts for pro-
lection. The courts may protect them, but
rest assured the people will be avenged.
They have suffered and suffered again, and
are still suffering from the fragrant injustice
imposed upon them by the railroad company
and the capitalists of San Francisco. The
history of the railroad company on the tax
question is too familiar to need repeating,
and that of San Francisco is no better
She never has been assessed at more than
half her value and never pays within hun
dreds of thousands of dollars of what she
owes on this low rate of assessment If
these great delinquents- Francisco and
the Central Pacific Railroad Company
were compelled to pay their taxes, as poor
men are compelled to pay, the rate of taxa
ton would be much less throughout the
State, and honest men would have reason
to rejoice. The burden of government
should rest equal on all, but it does not,
and we ask, if this iniquty continues, will
not the people of the whole State rebel !?
Would they not be right in doing so ? If it
is right for one to escape, it is right for all.
But it is not right for one. 1t is a fragrant
wrong that any should escape. This wrong
must be righted. If it cannot be done one
way, it must be done another. If the pres
ent law fails, we must have another more
binding And if the best legislation shall
fail, we must change the fundamental law
to cover the evil For the government will
be faulty, and the people forever discomfort
ed, until they can realize in fact, that
taxation is equal
