The Hospital Scandal.

No doubt Mr.. Lynch was actuated with the
best Of motives when he offered his resolution
in the City Council for a committee TO inquire
into and expose the alleged immoral practices
that We're charged upon the Radical ;5upcrin-
tendent of the City Hospital, and the result
seems to be an attempted white washing re-
port" Bat the report goes just far enough 10
make the people believe that the parties
charged We're guilty of grossly immoral con-
duet and criminal in a moral sense il not in a
legal SENSE. The whole affair is scandalous in
the extreme. If the Superintendent was IL
Democrat we should insist upon his being
turned out Of the house Immediately. But
since he is a Republican, and in their hands,
they can condone his offence with impunity -
the negroes care but very little about snch
affairs.

Tho Political Tempest In tho South
and weat.

What was termed the slave power in the
South by the old fanatical abolitionists, never
voted their negroes. But the Radical party
has made negroes as completely and compact
~ a political power as it is possible to do;
and they have done it with the intent to in
jure and destroy the whites and retard the
growth and prosperity Of the country. They
cannot escape this responsibility rs they now
pretend to do through such Radical papers as
the Washington Chronicle, by charging the
whole of the evils that have arisen in the
South from bad government to the carpet
baggers and scalawags. That paper knows
its party and the Administration sustained
the carpet -baggers and scalawag5 in their
work of robbery and plumber 1t may well

The Increase in the Taxes.

When the Democrats had a majority in the
City Council, houses assessed at $1,000 paid u
tax of $40; now houses assessed at $1,000
pay Just $1,000; and this rate of difference ex-
lists in all property. A house assessed at 81 500
in 1871 paid q tax of $50; now house as
sessed at $500 pays tax of SIS.
The increase in the taxes since 1871 Is not,
however, fully shown in the above. Any per-
son who will compare their tax bills Tor 1871
with their tax bills for 1874 will find that the
assessed value of their property has been
greatly augmented. We presume in some ca
ses property has been raised on the assess
ment lists quite one-fourth, and in many ca.
ces one-ffth to one-eighth. Thus, house
that was assessed at $500 in 1871 is now as
sessed at $4,000 or $500; or a house that was
assessed at 1000 is now assessed at 81 300 on
81 400 or even 81 500; and i'll numerous cases
lots that were assessed at 500 are put at 500;
and some that We're assessed at 5000 are put nj
$500. We know of one that was bought Tor
$50 that is now assessed at $500; and 1t has
been offered over and over for sale at 800
Thus it will be seen that the amount of mon
ey taken from our people in taxes in this city
has been enormously increased since the Dem
ocrats were in power.
We grant that in some special cases the as
sessment has not been raised at all. But this
is only because of intended Partially, or ne
elect on the part of the Council. They assess
the property of the poor generally welHup tc
its value. But in nearly all cases the proper
ty of the rich is not made to reach its value
but it is nevertheless alarmingly high.

HANDSOME SUM-There is now deposited to
the credit Of the city in the Union National
Bank Sl03 1883. This is the best REPUTATION
that can be given to the story of the Gazette
that the floating debt of the city amonn led to
500, 0OO.-Replblicaa.
AS the tax receivers have paid into the city
Treasury since the first of July over $500, 600,
and there is only the sum stated by the Re-
publican left on hand, being the balance used in
paying the warrants and the floating debt
that had accumulated up to July, we hold
that it proves what We stated. We further
more believe that there will not be cent Of
money left in the Treasury the first OF
January unless it is borrowed. They will
spend all of the money derived from taxes
before half of the fiscal year expires.
