H-We learn from citizen of Little Rock,
in Arkansas, says the N. Y. Sun, that the reg
ular rate of taxation in that place is s6.10
upon every 500 of property, and that the
property is assessed at its full market value.
Thus the taxes fully consume the income, and
if any deduction has to be made for repairs
they consume more. This is confscation; and
what rende.s it most intolerable is that the
whole of it represents nothing but stealing.

Before closing this report We can not re-
frain from expressing our satisfaction with
the manner in which the interior manage
ment of the institution is conducted, in
every department of which the utmost
cleanliness, order and discipline prevail,
and great praise is to be awarded to the
superintendent for the energy and efficiency
displayed in the performance Of the mani
fold and OnerOus duties of his responsible
position, and to the treasurer is due the
highest need of credit for generously fur.
nishing from his private means the primary
necessities of the institution when Its re.
sources had become exhausted.
We believe that since the present board
of administrators have had charge that the
management of the affairs has been good,
but during the past year the institution has
suffered in great degree by the existence
of numerous boards of administrators, there
being at one time no less than three boards
in existence.
We believe that the present law should
be amended, and that the board of admin.
istrators should be selected from the State
at large, it being, as it now stands, too
local in its character and apt to create
abuses. We also believe that the officers
connected and under the control of the
board of administrators should not be
allowed to supply or be interested in any
manner in supplying the institution. In
conclusion, your committee would most re-
spectfully recommend an appropriation to
extinguish the Indebtedness, as herein
given, and for the current expenses of the
present year, 49,, 900 in currency.

PROSPECTS OF THE FINANCE BILL.
WASHINGTON. Tuesday. May 10, Is

WASHINGTON. Tuesday, May 10, 1874.
The Banking and Currency Committee will meet
tomorrow to act upon the Senate Finance bill.
From the views expressed by a majority of the
members Of the Committee it is quite certain that
the bill will not be reported back in its present state,
but will be amended so as to make it conform very
nearly to the original bill prepared by the Senate
Committee The proportion of greenbacks for the
additional bank circulation issued will probably be
placed back at 80 per cent although 40 per cent is
talked of as a compromise. Ii is assumed that the
President will sign the bill if 40 per cent is the
figure agreed upon but it is regarded as certain
that he will not approve it if any lower figure is
fixed 1t is proposed TO make the bond re-
demptiop provision take effect in 1875 as in the
Senate bill, but 10 make the interest on
tbe conversion bonds per cent instead OF A..
The provision for tho paying out OF the
oreenbacks converted, for the purchase and retire
ment of six per cent bonds will probably DO left
without change. What is known as the i've per
cent redemption section. which provides that IN
tad of their present circulation reserves the banks
saa keep legal tsuder deposit of five .per cent '"
