City Taxes for 1874.

The Assessors have committed the tax lists
to the Collector, with the usual warrant for an
abatement of per cent. to all who pay within
sixty days, or before the first day of November.
The valuation shows wholesome increase in
wealth and population, and we may at length
adopt the conclusion that the city has fairly
recovered from the stunning blow inflicted by
the terrible fire of 1866.

an easy victory. The character of the
Custom house laws and practices was as
well understood two or three years ago as it
is to-day. The recent investigation has done
a great deal to enlighten and rouse the public,
but it has told Congress nothing new. The
politicians have all along been aware OF the
Infamous revenue rObOeries, and have never
wished to prevent them. The Custom house
has always been the great magazine of supplies
for the political campaign. When it becomes
merely an Office for the collection of the
revenue, half its value to the party VIII De
destroyed. Hence every proposal for reform
meets with the bitter, determined, enduring op-
position of every Administration man INSIDE
"politics - and where reform cannot be fought
openly it will be fought in secret.
Private adyces from Washington give us
little encouragement to hope for any compre-
hensive amendment of the revenue system tnis
session. The most serious obstruction IL III
the Senate. where what is commonly known
as the Custom house faction has great power,
and. we may add. unbOunded impudence. MIR.
FentOn's experience Is striking ILLUSTRATION
of the danger which now threatens the mer-
camille interest. His bill refers to two of the
most glaring of the wrongs OF which the I'm
porters complain. 1t proposes to abolish mol
cites and to break up Tie system of compro-
misses. These measures are admitted to be
desirable, and yet how has Mr.. Fenton been
t,eated9 He has been for more than
three years trying to get that bill before
the Senate, and the partisan majority not only
will not vote for it, but will not allow it even
to be considered. Reported from the Com
mittee on Finance, with approval, it was from
time to time deferred, on one pretcxt or
another and at last was taken from the cal
endar and sent to the Committee on Com
merce, who have sat on it for nearly year
and a half. Mr.. FentOn has repeatedly urged
its consideration; the merchants have petit
toned for its passage; still the Committee
Messrs. Chandler, Spencer, Conking, Bucking-
ham. Boutwell,, Gordon, and Davis-will do
nothing with it, and, as last resource, Mr..
Fenton is obliged TO ask tho interference of
the Senate.
We have no preference for Mr.. Fenton's bill
over others that have been proposed. But we
fear it is the purpose of the Leading States
men i'm Washington to treat all measures OF
reform as they have treated this. Let the
Chamber of Commerce warn them that the
sitting process will not be borne patiently any
longer. There is no excuse for delay. The
case ia thoroughly understood, and for some
of the wrongs, if not for all. the remedy Is
easy,

MUSIC.
THE CUURCH MUSIC AssOCIAI

THE CHURCH MUSIC ASSOCIATION.
We have received the following statement
from prominent member OF the Church Music Assoca-
tion with a request that may be made public as by
authority"
An erroneous impression appears to pervade the pub
lie mind the Church Music Association Of this city
collapsed, and that the last and In some respects,
the best concert Of its series Its requiem Nothing
OF the happened, and at the usual time the
heasas will be resumed and the operations OF the Asso
citation proceed as heretofore.
1t is however. true that members OF the Committee
desire, after five Of hard work, 10 be relieved
from their arduous abors. Since the Association com
menced its work. Mr. g. I. Strong has become Control
ler OF Trinity Parish, aud the Rev. W. H. Cooke Min
OF st. Johns Chapel, has so much more important
business his hands that both these gentlemen find II
impossible give up the time necessary to be devoted
To the interests OF the Association Toe same may be
said o. Mr. f. III. Schermerhorn, Mr. j. W. Gerard and
Mr. Stephens But while these pioneers OF the largest
Choral Society New York retire from active part In
Its direction they still remain subscribers, and have
nounced their intention Of forwarding ito interests by all
means In their power.
The breaking up of large and effective q chorus
would be great blow to the progress or music In New
York Therefore, in due time circulars will be sent TO
the names OF the committee, the works
be performed, and the general scheme OF manage
ment for the future Mr. c. E. Horsley remains the mu
steal director and the energy with which he has graut
ousy conducted the Association for two seasons Is the
best guarantee for its future musical prosperity.
1t Is not impossible that Mr. Thomas and Mr. HOrsley
may unite their forces. With such o combination New
York would have an opportunity OF hearing the best
choral works rendered in manner equal to their merits

uniform. MIR. Hesing says that Logan and
Oglesby have dishOnOred themselves ana tiieir
party by giving the lie to the Republican plat
form, which reaiiirmed the sanctity oil the
public debt5 and the necessity OF a return 10
specie payments, and that the Germans OF
Illinois have done with such a party. Mr..
Uesing did not say this in corner, but IN
full session of the State Central Committee OF
the denounced party, to its extreme us
comfort.
This is not the first time reputation has
been talked in the West. Mr.. PendletOn spoke
duently in favor of it six years ago, and earlier
than that Mr.. Butler and Mr.. Morton echoed
each other in reciprocal rhetoric on the merits
and convenience of forgiving our creditors.
A good many people thought in the Summer
of 1868 that the wrath of the masses was
fairly reused against the "bloated bond
"holder," and that no party which advocated
the honest payment of the National deDt
could secure their suffrages. But when the
maligned masses came up to the polls
il was found that their share OF common
sense had been, as usual, underestimated by
the talking people. There is as yet no reason
TO anticipate different result now. There
are few men in Illinois, for instance, who
know less about political economy than Sena-
tor Lo9an and still fewer who care so little
about political morality. He has judged Dis
constituents by himself and there is probably
"a little truth as compliment in the conclusion
he has drawn.
