ESPECIAL CABLE DESPATCH. TO THE EVENING
TELEGRAM
DUBLIN, August s. 1875.
The religious exercises in connection with
and preliminary to the O'Connen Centennial
Celebration in this city took place to-day.
THE SERVICES AT THE ALTAR.
Pontifcal high mass was celebrated at the
Cathedral of Dublin, Marlborough street
THE pRELATIcAL PROCESSION
The numerous ecclesiastical dignitaries
who assisted at the services, which were con-
Quoted by His Eminence Cardinal Manning,
of Westminster, formed in procession and
moved at slow pace to the church, passing
through dense crowd of silent and rever-
entail spectators.
CARDINAL CULLEN AT ITS HEAD.
The procession was headed by the Pri-
mate of Ireland, His Eminence Cardinal
Archbishop Paul Cullen, was composed of
four archbishops, forty bishops and 500
priests attired in the robes, canonicals and
vestments of their respective Offices.
The scene was one of imposing magnif-
cence.
THE PEOPLE PRESENT IN THOUSANDS.
An immense concoursc of people had as
sembled IN the grounds inside the cathedral
boundaries, as well as in the adjacent streets.
The cathedral building was filed to its
uttermost recesses.
THE MUSIC.
A brilliant programme of sacred music was
performed.
TIE ARCHBISHOP OF cAsHEL IN THE PULPIT
The Most Reverend Archbishop Croke of
Cashel delivered the sermon, which was de-
voted entirely to illustrating the religious
character of O'Connell and the pious tendency
of all the works and efforts of the Irish Lib
orator.
POLITICS IN THE PULPIT.
He said in the course of his sermon
that the Irish people were being educated
under State system, which, if not all they
could desire, was in many respects useful.
"The foreign Church" he added, .'has been
humbled. The rights of the occupiers of the
soil have, to some extent, been recognized,
and we are fast working ourselves into po-
sition of equality and independence which
every subject should occupy under the pro-
lection of what am not afraid to designate
as the best balanced constitution in the
world"
WILL THE MORAL FORCE PRINCIPLE PREvAn2
1t is the general belief now that there will
be no disturbance during the parade and
ceremonies tomorrow, at least of a partisan
nature, unless the accessions to the ranks of
the processionists from England and Scotland
should take offence at the apprehended turn
the celebration exercises may be given.
Ten thousand strangers arrived in the civ
on Wednesday, the 4th inst.

sixth section allowing salary Of $4,000 to the Judge,
beng stricken ont, and the bill in this crippled con-
ditlon being returned TO the Judiciary Committee,
whence 81 was presumed II would never berepOred The

ton of the Senate The bin came up in the regular order
to-day and the proposition made by Mr. Woodin to
rcinsert the salary clause, modified TO allow the Judge
$4,000 and the Clerk $4,000 to be raised and paid by

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA TAXATION.

COMPLETION OF THE ASSESSMENT or REAL ESTATE
THE FRAUDULENT CuAR.C OF THE OLD
ASSESSMENT CONCEDED BY The ASSESSORS.
(BY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUSE.l
WASH!NGroN, April 3O-lhe Assessment OF real
estate in this city, ordered by Congress at It's last
session, has been completed, and the Board OF As
SCISSORS will organize tomorrow as a Board of APP
peas At one of the early meetings of the Board IT
was resolved that it would be impossible, in the
limited time which then remained before tho LIT
of Nav 10 make a reaSseSsment of the property
of the District and that the assessment Of
last wear should be taken as a basis, and that
citizens who desired would be allowed TO appeal
from that. THE TRIBUNE called attention to the
gross ininsce that would be done by pursuing such
a course and showed by few very striking eX-
amules that, while generally the real estate OF the
i,,, had been assessed under the Shepherd Gd-
mnstraton FIR more than its cash value, the prop
perty belonging t. the members of the RING, and 10
their favorites was generally taxed for from one
fourth TO onct third Of lis v:lue While, therefore,
,he proposed system would operate to bring down
some assessments that were too high, 1t would
NOT raise those on Ring property that were too low
This presentation of the facts attracted 50
much attention. aud was so universally admitted to
ho inst that the Board of Assessors, when they
b.gan their work abandoned wholly tho old assess
ment and have made one that is entirely new ana
In their letter to the Commissioners which W'll be
published tomorrow, they characterize 'he Old
assessment as 30 unequal and so unjust as To have
been wholly worthless TO them ~ guide. IL VIII
he unfair TO make any remarks upon the new assess
,nent without examining 1t in detail but II Is safe to
say that it is an improvement upon the old one and
it. on the whole it is found 10 be fair the people
will excuse minor impcrfections, since the time for
doing the work has been very short, and the Asses,
sors have been obliged to work almost n eht ann
Jav and to neglect wholly their private business in
order To complete it within the time hxed by law"
No footing has yet been made @ ascertain the total
amount Of real est ate assessed but it will probably
be in the neighborhood Of eighty-iye Hons, Or
ten or twelve millions less than formerly. Inc
number of notices of appeals already Med Is abOut
tax will be abandoned until Congress shall provide
the necessary machinery.
