A great many Of General lIrcckin-

TAXATION without an equivalent is the
burden Of complaint. The New York
Times tells the story:
Our readers will easily recall villages
within twenty miles Of New York where
the taxes are enormous, and yet, with the
exception Of schools, not n single return
il made to the taxpayer The highways
are cxeCrablC, the streets never lighted or
walcrcd, umles4 by private sIbscription,)
the gardens and yards OvCrrun with goats
and, worse than all, there il no kind Of
police to guard the property Of the resi-
dents. There are villages along the
hudson where bnrglhries are Of nightly
occurrence, where the same house filled
with; occupants has been visited by
these bold rullians with IMMUNITY three
or four different nights, where houses
and harms are fired, and one where the
guard over the house was shot at hla own
door; and yet there Ia not single police.

THE CARDINALS OATH.


There has been some inquiry as to the
oath taken by Cardinal McClOskey and
what effect it may have on his relations to
the Government. We do not know that
he took any, or il he did that it has any
thing to do with his position as subject
oithe civil power, However, the follow.
ing oath has been unearthe,l as tile one
ordinarily administeredlto Cardinals. 1t
was submitted to Parliament, with other
papers, by Lord PaImerston in 1850 and
was furnished to him by the British Min
lister at Turin:

expressed for him, accompanied
by denunciati0n of the meanness of
of the trick, as 1t was regarded.
Ely Stake, who then kept the
hotel,gettirg wind of the facts, gave
the wedding party to understand
that they should have neither hor-
ses nor baggage Ia couple pair of
old-fashioned saddle-bags) until
they paid a decent fee. In the
mean time several of the spectat-
ors thought aloud of a drumming
out OF town. with or without q pre-
liminary ride upon a fence-rail.-
But there was no attempt at either.
Cornered as they were by the land
lord, they reluctantly scraped to-
gether two or three dollars. Hav-
ing left this, together with their
tavern bill, they were suffered to
recross the Potomac to Old Vir-
ginia's shore and go on their way
rejoicing at having escaped the
rough treatment talked of.
OF course with the incoming of
the new era of travel by rail, Will
Transport ceased be a Gretna
Green. There may be as many
runaway matches as formerly. If
so, they are hidden from ebserva
ton in some comparatively distant
city, which is reached with less
expense of time and meney. But
that there are as many is doubtful.
Clerks are not so scrupulous about
issuing marriage licenses as form
erly, nor clergymen so conscienti-
Gus, especially where there is a
prospect of a fee nearer to twenty
five dollars than twenty-five cents.
1t is deemed the wisdom of the SER
pent,if not the harmlessness of the
dove, to take the money and ask
no questions
/ do not pretend to say that the
money pay is all the average min
lister of the present day cares for.
OF course he would not refuse to
marry a couple who had noimoney
at all. Whether he would be sat
ssfied with a bag of chestnuts, Of
fered once to a Berkeley preacher
by a poor pinchiller as a marriage
fee, and cheerfully accepted as all
there was to reward him with, is
doubtful. Times have changed and
men changed with them. ,Everybo-
dynowadays are after the almighty
dollar,t to which tendency the prea-
cheers are no exception, ] believe,
they being but men with like pas
sions with the rest of us.

his wife's voice, but did not look

BROOKLYN, May s, rs.
Judge Nelson:
ask the privilege from you for
a few words in my own behalf. I
feel very deeply the injustice of
my position in the law and before
the Court now sitting, and while /
have understood and expected
from the beginning Mr.. Evarts'
principle in the matter, yet since
your last decision / have been so
sensible of the powers Of my enc
mics that my soul cries out before
you and the gentlemen of the jury
that they beware how, by a divid-
ed verdict, they consign to my
children a false and irrevocable
stain upon their mother. For five
years past l have been the victim
of circumstances most cruel and
unfortunate. struggling from time
to time only for a place to live ho-
morally and truthfully. Released
for some months from the will by
whose power, unconsciously, |
eliminated myself again and again
Il declare solemnly before you,
without the fear Of man and by
faith in God, that | am Innocent
of the crimes charged aga nst me.
| would like to tell my whole sad
story truthfully, to acknowledge
the frequent falsehoods wrung
from me by compulsion, though at
the same time unwilling to reveal
the secret Of my married life,
which only the vital importance
of my position makes necessary
/ assume the entire responsibility
of this request, unknown to friend
Or counsel Of either side, and await
your Honor's honorable decision.
With great respect,

WASHINGTON, May 5.--The unex-
pected appointment of successor to
Hon. j. w. Douglass, Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue, has been the
general topic of conversation in the
several departments to. day. The first
intImatlon Mr.. Douglass had OF an
intended change was yesterday when
Secretary BristOw sent for him and
informed him Of the fact that his sue
cessor had been appointed. Mr.. ID.
was taken completely by surprise,
from the fact that but a few weeks
since when rumors were rife that he
was to be suspended, he called ON the
President about the rumes, at which
time the President told him that he
did not intend making any changes
