Catholics everywhere. His frat official acts
seemed to bear out the Impression that he had
come to Spain with extreme views OF ortho-
doxy and intolerance. His Government was
guilty of frequent violations OF the existing law
in the interest of the Church, and the Uniyer-
sity of Madrid was deprived of its most en-
inent and valuable professors at the dictatlon
of clerical cOurtiers. But when the time came
for the formation Of the usual new constitution
which the Spaniards regard as necessary III
cident of change of government, 1t was
found that the power of the Church, oven
when reinforced by the supposed sympathies
of the Court, was not enough to procure tho
abolition of the principle of liberation.
A provision similar to that Of 1869 was re-
ported by the Commission. and all attempts to
amend it in the interest Of the ecclesias,lcs,
although they have been numerous and per-
sistent. have been unavailing If the Conven-
tion remains in the same mind which it has
tins far exhibited, the principle OF religious
federation may 10 said to be established IN
Spain. That unhappy country is far from the
end of its troubles but it seems to be saved
from the worst of misfortuncs, that OF sub
mission to clerical reaction, which threatened
il a few months ago.

have missions among the Indians that great
care has been exercised in tho appointment OF
agents; that although pcrhnps now ana then
one has become corrupt the Commissioners are
confident the Government was never SO hon
estly served rs at the present time; and that
much of the present clamOr is raised and pro-
NOTED by bad men who aim to destroy the
humane policy, even though 1t should ieau
TO the determination of the Indians. IL
closes with an appeal calling "carncst attcn-
"tion to the fact, that for several years the
"Indian service, rs a whole and in detail, has
"heen, and still il, virtually within the super
"yisiOn and control of the religious bodies OF
"the country; and upon them and the
"Christian community will rest to a large ex-
"tent the ultimate success or failure OF the
"policy of humanity and justice, in our deal
"ings with the remnants of this once powerful
"racer
Without meaning any dlsrespect to tho
gentlemen of the Commission, we venture TO
call their attention to q fact which seems 10
have escaped their notice: to wit, that charges,
distinct and explicit, of the most barefaced
and outrageous frauds and rohberles, nave
been made in connection with the admihis'ia-
ton of Indian affairs at Red Cloud Agency.
This il not "clamOr raised and prOmotcd
"by bad men, The charges come IRON
a responsible source and have thoroughly
responsible backing. They are the cause OF
"the present agitation upon Indian affairs
which moved the Commissioners to appeal 10
the Christian Public, and they are not aimed
at the destruction of the present Indian pOhcy
or anything else but rascality and fraud. IL
il idle TO talk about the Christian professions
of the men who have been caught cheating
and stealing; or to say that they were APP
nointed by Christian church or Mis-
sionary Society, or that the men who
appointed them represent nine Christian
communions, or to undertake to put the re-
spOnsibity for their acts upon the religious
bodies of the country. All that. gentlemen OF
the Commission, is very, very wide OF the
mark. Here's been stealing. 1t makes no
difference whether the thief is an EplscopallaIi'
Baptist, Methodist. or what not. No religious
denomination need take Oiiense if he is col
Jared and led away, and You may rest assured
the Christian religion will not suffer If ne Is
locked ND. That sort of nonsense has gone by.
We arc older than we were in the period OF
tbe Christian statesmen. When wo catch fell

And the Christian religion does MT seem TO
suffer much on account Of il. either.

ErONOUT AT THE SPIGOT.

Tn 1878, when the Board Of AppOrtiOnment,
through the efforts of Controller Green, fixed
the aggregate to he raised 10y taxes that year
per cent on the assessed valuation. we de-
nounced the step "a false economy and pre-
dicted that future taxes would be all the
heavier on account of lodging them
for the time being by the easy process OF add
ing portion of them to the funded debt.
The tax-dodging policy was continued and Is
still adhered to, yet the aggregate taxation
for 1874 and that fixed for 1875, have cx-
ceedcd $32 100000 in each year, thus going
four millions beyond the amount raised
two years ago The City Debt, which
was $lO7, S69,o13 on the LIST Of June,
1873, on the 1st of June, 1875, stood
at si27, 6ll.770. being an increase in round
numbers of tworty million dollars in twenty
four months, which stands for money expended
by Tho City over and above the $6O,000,OOO
raised by taxation in the two years. If these
facts 10 not spesN for themselves, our labor
would be lost in attempting to speak for
them
Yet Controller :lren begins his letter to the
public through Alderman Morris with tie fol
lowing statement in regard to the taxes:
Amount OF valuations in ls7i 90
Amount of taxes 32,3i2. SIC 92
Rate Of taxaiinn...-..-. $50 pr cert

Amount to he raised by tax ia j -.

vide for deficiencies in tho actual
product OF tn tai s................ 3@.l'l.i72 Il
The above tpdres are adroitly put together
to convey the impression that the amount of
the taxation this year is less than it was list,
whereas it is really greater, after all the doe
ioiing t. which she figures have been subjected
inside and outside of the Board of Aldermen

The case of Bishop Nottingham of the
Protestant Episcopal Church now under inves-
tigation in Baltimore is of interest as well be-
cause of the age and high standing of the
Bishop as on account of the interesting ques-
lions involved in the decision of the tribunal
before which he is arraigned. This decision,
however, will not bc final the able and dis
tinguished clergymcn who hear the cause at
present may be compared to court OF inquiry,
and it is their duty either to ignore the pre-
sentation under consideration, or cite the ac-
cused to appear for trial by his ecclesiastical
peers. The court now sitting was appointed
by the Presiding Bishop, the Right Rev. Ii. b.
Smith of Kentucky, while the real trial, in the
event that "A trial is deemed necessary, will
take place before seven bishops, to be chosen
in the manner prescribed by the canons of the
Church. 1t will be remembered that Bishop
Nottingham is presented for alleged violation
of n canon in not bringing clergyman OF
Mt. Calvary Church, Baltimore, to trial, when
he was presented by the Stlndng Committee
of the Diocese, upon charges of using uncanoni-
cal prayers for the dead. 1t is held 10y the
Bishop and his friends that it is discretionary
with him to bring the accused to trial under
such circumstances.

The investigation by the Assembly Commit
tee, which is looking into police methods in
this city, tooh wide range yesterday. Very
unpleasant reading for taxpayers is the testi-
mony as to the way in which police
mems services have been used for
the personal advantage of officials,
and as to the support on Department supplies
of the horses of Police Inspector, Captain
and other persons connected with the Depart
ment. Three men yesterday swore to having
been brutally dubbed without cause in sta
tion-house a former patrolmon gave MARIA
tive of the manner in which he was cut short
in following up some promising clews which he
had obtained in regard to the Nathan murder,
and a merchant described what he considered
very culpable neglect in arresting and punish
ing burglars who had robbed bis store. Citi-
zens will have an opportunity to digest the
revelations already made concerning the police
and they are sufficient to give food for sober
thought for considerable tiue-durins the
next month without being startled by any new
disclosures before this Committee. for the In
vestlgation is now adjourned until September

The problem Of providing comfortable dwell
ings for the large number of people in New
York who are neither rich nor poor has found
partial solution, at least. in the building OF
apartment houses, more or less on the Freuch
plan. The popularity of this class of resi-
d,nces is increasing so rapidly that the
fear of the Landlords that the Flat bust
"ness will be overdoner does not seem
well founded. Comfortable fats at moderate
rents will always be in fair demand and prove
moro rcmunrrative than almost any other
property of the kind. A good deal OF inter
estipg information on this subject is given in
an article printed this morning on our third
