HOSPITAL SUNDAY.

10 tlg Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: AS you have taken the lead in awakening
support Of the charitable institutions in the Dis
trict of Columbia, / take the liberty OF bringing
to your notice heeIcellent Institution Of Hospital
Fifteen years ago one Of the hospitals in Biz.

To relieve this institution Canon Miller suggested
collections in all the places Of worship in Bir.
minghRm; and, in order to impress the matter on
public attention, and TO arouse something like q
wholesome emulation, he conceived the happy
idea OF making these collections rimuItaneous.
A thousand pounds, he yentured TO predict, might
thus be raised. Within q fortnight the clergy, in
response to this appeal, assembled and fixed the
day; and, at the end OF month from the time at
which Canon Miller's proposition was made, up
wards Of G52oo were added to the hospital
siasm throughout England, that from that time q
day has been fixed for Hospital Sunday through

two or three weeks large placards on the walls Of
the cities bearing Hospital Sunday" and date.

NO APPROPRIATIONS.

A REPUBLICAN representative learning that
Congress would probably make no appropriations
for the charitable institutions Of the District that
were not directly supported by the Government,
called upon Mr.. Garfield yesterday to ascertain
the facts in the case. The result was az reported
that in all probability many of the institutions
which have heretofore received Government aid
will this year derive no assistance from that
source. st. Johns hospital WAS favored with an
appropriation of 600 at the last Congress, and
the Childrens hospital secured q, 600 in the same
manner. In all probability neither will this year
obtain relief from that direction, so that there 1,

A COMMA WHICH COST $4,000, 900.

The Importance of careful cor
gressional punctuation, says the
Washington Star, was strongly il
lustrated at the meeting of the Ways
and Means committee, where it was
shown that comma In one place
was worth 100000. In the tariff
bill which went into effect August
l, 1872, it will be remembered that
the free list was extended by the
additional of several hundred arti-
cles. Among the number added
was ''fruit plants, tropical and semi
tropical" for the purpose of propa
cation and cultivation. In engros-
sing the bill, or the process of copy
ing it for official printing, a comma
was inserted after "fruit," and all
fruit was thereby placed on the free
list. The custom officers, however,
not noticing the change, continued
to collect duties on fruit until the
error was discovered. The Ways
and Means Committee have agreed
to report a bill to remove the COM
ma, in accordance with the intent OF
the law of 1872. The amount of
tax illegally collected is not far from
100000.

INCREASE OF TAXATION.

An impression seems to be gain
ing ground at Washington that the
matter of deficiency claimed by the
Secretary of the Treasury will be
settled by increase of taxation, and
that the subjects of taxation will
not be tea and coffee, but whisky
and tobacco. The anticipated de.
ficiency for the fiscal year was s42,
600, 600, but this has been lessened
considerably blythe recently increas
ed receipts, and is now estimated
at $3O,OOO,O00. The tariff bill ot
the Committee on Ways and Means
as it now stands. regulates the du
ties on silks by a new schedule
puts the duty back on fruit, repeal'
the ten per cent. reduction of tho
act of1S72 on books and other print
ed matter and artificial flowers, ant
arranges for a new kind of export
bond for distilled spirits. 1t is re
ported that the committee intend t6
