the recently adopted Revised Statues
Of the United States, a notary public
has no authority to take afidavits TO
be used in the United States Courts,
except those relating to proofs Of debt
in bankruptcy, and dispositions de beHe

lowed to hare notca to the e1tent only Of 10

tion Of SAi9, 2a3, ,3C3, and a deposit Of honda
OF only $}7r, 731.5 500, which, on tho basis Of
100 OF bonds to no Of notes, shows seeming
deficiency in bonds Of $12,359,28s. One cx-
planation Of this seoming discrepancy is, that
during tho Inst yenr OF two numtor Of Ma
tionat Danka hive abandoned their circula-
tion. In ss1ch case they forward to tho scc-
retnry Of tho Treasury mn amount Of Broen-
backa equal to their outstanding notes, and

si1 months or D year may olapse before oil
tho notes Of particular National Dank reach

Tha obstruction Of Chicago streets by
building material is common occurrence,

A largo amount Of liberty in this regard is
permitted to builders, chiefly for lack OF the
proper enforcement Of the law, which, at the
utmost, allows tho occupancy Of one-third Of
tho roadway, mud only then by spocal
Permission Of the proper authorities. A case
has been decided recently by the nlinois ST.

that they are responsible for accidents to life,

the Library Directors to change tho hour Of
closing tho Library from 6 p. m. to 0 p. m
Willie the ideas Of tho Council might havo

loss true that tho vote in tho Council is re-
fox Of tho goneral feoling in tho community
in regnrd to the Library hours. Tho Dircc-

propriety Of reducing the hours, and they
will doubtless discover in the demand Of the

There has been M iucrease Of something
moro than $7,ooo,oo0 In the receipts ovor laat
year. A largo part Of this incroase ia due to
the revival Of trade during tho year, and
something to the Increased taxes on whisky
and tobacco, which were put on by Congress
near the close Of its session in the lattar part
of February. It viii DO noticed that there
was a most decided lncrcase In the receipts Of
February, 1875. over those Of February, 1874.
This waa tho month Just preceding tho pms.
sage OF the Tax bill and during tho tin,o Of
Its agitation. The distilleries wore running
Mt their full capacity in order to get ahead as
large stock as possible, ,thesto on hand being
exempt from tho increased tax. The In
creaso in this month alone was moro thnn
$4,o00, GOO, md considerably more than one
halt OF the entire increase Of the year. This ap-
parent increase, however, was really loss,

Of 20 conta gallon, which was the Increased

The difference between Englands old and
new Continental policy hos been sharply
marked by the House Of Commons debate On
the Turkish Anancea. The moat extreme ut
teranoe Was that Of Mr. BUr1xa-J oHHB7oxz,
who said Turkey "had incurred debt Of
Elb0, ,0o0, 600 in twenty years, and hadn't
90 much as an old pair Of gloves to show for
it, This sums UP the new po1ioy,-mild
talk. The old ono was decided action. Thus
PAL14zRaroN, In 1848, declared that he would
interfere with Turkish affairs In behalf Of
Ditiah bondholaers, and was about to do 50
when the "siek man" pad hia then ANAL
debts. And in 1852, Lord Ruaax1l tale
graphed to Constantinople twenty Words
~ insist on the instant transmission Of the
payment Of the Interest on tho loan Of 1885,"
which scared the Sultan into gpa4modio
honesty. The contrast between these two
methods ID apparently to the disadvantage Of
that now In vogue. but probably only appar-
emily. Interference always involves running
the risk Of . war and perhaps Of general
European struggle. When few hundred or
thousand men deliberately loan their money
to IN insolvent nation and think themselves
paid for the Eiak by tho high interest always
promised and sometimes paid, have they Q
right to plunge many millions Of men into 3
bloody struggle, which may cost more than
the whole sum at stake, and will infalAhly
bring ruin aud sorrow upon Thousands OF
homes ? There arc enough causes for waz

tion to the amount Of tho debts, and,
unless tho tobts be added to the mark ot
value Of tho etooks, tho latter would not
represent tho real vnluo Of tho whole proper
ty Of the Company. In othor worda, mn hon
oat assessment Of the property Of a company
should show an amount equivalent to tho
par valno Of ita capital stock and franchise;
and that Its debts should be computed norcly
as ata equivalent for the depreciation Of tho
sharcs consequent upon tho e,issonco OF tho
debts. All this il reasonable and clear; II is
exact Justice. Nothing is taxable but proper
ty, and the Hamo property cannot be taxed
twice under two namea. Capital stock rep
rosenta property Of some kind; it has no
valuo Of itset. To tax tho stock, and tho
property it represents, aud tho debts, which
are chnrgo nron tho property, ia MI abuse
Of authority which cannot DO tolerated.
The Supreme Court, however, by their
opinion in this case, also set aside tho theory
that tho action Of the State Board Of Equals
zatlon is a fnality,-a theory which has led
that Board into many extraordinary acts.
The Supreme Court declares tllat It's action in
tho case uudor roviaw wns not entitled to the
presumption that 1t was the result Of the
honest Judgment Of the majority Of tho MEM
bers Of the Board. Tlo State Doart1, there
fore, is no longer to DO considered court
unto itself, whose decisions cannot be re-
viewed and set aside by the Courts. Taking
this decision Of the Supreme Court Of tho
State and Of the United States Courts on this
subject, 1t mny be fairly assumed TINT the
business Of taxing capital atock aud dobts in
addition to the actual value of the property
Of corporations has reached its ond, and TINT
there will be- no more Of 1t.

ENGLAND AND THE Pc ACE OF EUROPE.
Some .lRya ngo VIC drew attention to All ar-
ticlo in tho Inst number OF tho London Fort
nightly Iaerteu, which made tho astounding
confession TINT, in case the neutrality Of BEL
gium hal been violated by the Ger1nan Em-
piro in tho Into discussions growing out Of
tho Ultrnmontano question, Great Britain
could not throw moro than 40 600 effective
soldiers into tho field to avert tho destruction
Of Belgian independence, though m attack
Oh Belgium would DO at the same timo a
menace nganst Great Britain. It seems that
this is not M exceptional or sensational view
OF the situation. An article in the current
number OF the Temple Bar magazine entitled
"Is tho National Spirit Dead?' makes mnteri-
aliy tho Same estimate Of England'a military
position. The decline Of England's fighting
prowesa Is traced to tho Crin,ean war.
Though it really ante-ilates that period by tho
forty years Of poace which preceded it for
the English, the WAT in tho Crimea served to
expose the real condition Of things, Of which
the british people were either ignorant or
careless. The war Of tho Crimea did net de-
velop high example Of military genius on
the part Of her Generals, but demonstrated
the fatal defects in the military system OF tho
Kingdom. Had this exposure aroused tho
sentiment Of tho nation to heroic enleavor
to regain the lost footing, the Englsh people
might now DO spared tho humiliation Of
these late confessions in their loading jour-
uals, md tho English Government would
not havo cause to tremble Of every wa11iko
demonstration on the Continent.
Tho military syhtom Of England is now the
object Of contempt Of nil Europe, freely ex-
pressed by tho Russian, French, German,
italian, and Belgian preas. An official Jour-
nal in Germany recently said that "En.
gland has eiFaced itsolf," and tho Dolgians
themselves recognize the worthlesanesa
Of Great Britain's guarantee OF tho
Independence Of Belgium, whom the force
Of electives Ia reduced to 10000 OF 10000
men. In Belgium tho number Is estimated at
tho first figure. There ia in England what
