A communication appears in our
paper to-day, that has already found
its way in the vehicles foi our neigh
bors of the Telegram aud Indepen-
dent, ''going for" the author of the
Tax Ordinance with rush, and this
circumstance causes us to feel SYM
pathy for the member from the Third
Ward, and to voluteer word in his
defense. We can see the idea our
Third Ward legislator had in his ar
rangement Of articles to be taxed-it
was more to reach the rich dresses
and Sunday-go- to-meetin9s Of the
rich than the poor-the $500 shawls,
$500 to $500 dresses, and other expen-
sive articles of clothing-the fine and
costly pictures hanging on the walls Of
the rich citizen, etc. The middle cit
liens and the poor will feel it no hard
ship to give in ALL they possess, SC
that thereby those who are rich, and
sport fine feathers, shall pay their full
proportion Of the city debt, and thus
the more speedily wipe out the bur.
den of quarter million of dollars il
is groaning under.
Our citizens, pretty generally, dc
not take this mild view of the inten'
ton of the Trainer of the law, and
have appointed Monday night next, al
Phillips Hall, to ''blow him up" or
at least, to bring the ordinance impos.
ing the taxation to grief.
AT "a preliminary meeting resolu
ton was adopted declaring in favor Of
| the advalOrem system OF taxation, bu
deprecating unreasonable search; also
| a resolution was adopted declaring
that the powers Of municipal govern
ment to tax extends no further thar
its powers to protect and collect.
We presume, at the meeting OF
Monday night, these resolutions viii
be further discussed, and the author
of the city tax law cussed.
| We can not see a remedy in all this
for it is now tie law of the corpora

in Washington, Ohio, on Christmas
night, under the auspices of tho
Y. NJ G. A., which was not without
the most beneficial results The
ladies of the different Church con-
gregations have since visited tho
saloons of the town and held prayer
meetings daily, and Influenced the
proprietors of many of them to
such an extent that they allowed
the ladies to empty their entire
stock of liquors into the streets -
At the earnest solicitations Of these
phiianthropic devotees to the s,iori-
GUS cause, the majority of the male
population have signed pledge to
abstain hereafter from all intoxica-
ting drinks. The workers received
q pressing invitation this evening
to go to Wilmington and inaugu

An Ancient Relic.


When the Pilgrim Fathers landed
ut Plymouth Rock, they brought with
them some very rough and crude agri-
cultural and household Implements;
some of which, no doubt, have been
kept as heirlooms in the families of
their descendants, and been handed
down from generation to generation to
the present writing. This fact was
forcibly demonstrated to US, by the
presentation Of fre-shovel for the
use of the Palladium Office, by N. s.
Williams, of the South Marion. street
Auction Rooms. A critical examina-
ton of this implement, warrants us in
inferring, that Miles Standish, Que of
the most noted of the pilgrim Faith
ers, once owned this unique shovel
that William Penn, then became it's
possessor on the decease of Mr.. Stan
dish, by purchasing it at the admins
traitors sale Of his effects-a brother
of Roger Williams, married one of
William PENIS lovely daughters, and
that is, no doubt, the way it came into
the possession of the Williams fam
lily. When the Williams's moved out
west, they brought this same shovel
with them, and it thus came into pos
session Of our friend Nate, who, know
ing we were fond Of relics, and being
sadly in want of shovel, (the one we
have had for the last half century
having unhapily become broken) he
gave it to us as New Years Gift, for
which we return our grateful thanks,
and give it's history as above.
