The Personal Tax.

II will be seen from the correspondence BE-
tween the District Commissioners and the
Assessors, which we publish to-day. that the
time for making the assessment of personal
property has expired, and IL has been i'm
possible to make the assessment. The tax
levied by the act of Congress of March 3D.
1875, is levied a. respects both real and
personal property on an assessment required
10 be made before the first day of May. BY
unusual exertions, working day aud night
the Assessors have been able to complete the
assessment Of real estate I'm a manner credit
able TO them. and the tax on real estate will
therefore be levied.
The property holders can pay ii I'm two in
stalments one-half on October LIST, 1875, and
The other half on April LIST, 1876. The asses
sors found such inequalities, inaccuracy
and incompleteness in the old assessment
on real estate that they were required to do
what, indeed, the act of Congress contem-
plated, namely: To make an entire new as
sessment of real estate in the District of Co.
iumbia. This required careful personal ex-
animation of all the property in the District
and the improvements upon it, and careful
comparisons and consultation, together with
other labor incident To such a task.
Probably the assessors were embarrassed
rather than aided by the old assessment
This work had TO be done between March
10th, the time when the assessors entered
upon their duties, and the first day of Nav.
The time was so short that the whole tax
levied ny the act of March 81, 1875, would
have failed if the assessors had not given ex-
elusive attention TO one (ani the more i'm
pOrtant) branch OF their duties, and applied
themselves to il with unusual fidelity and
energy. extending their labors into the night.
At the same time feeling their responsibility
as executive officers to faithfully carry out
all the provisions OF the law, the Com
missiOneTs up to the last moment left
nothing undone that could be done
towards the assessment of personal prop
erty also The schedules for return OF
personal property were distributed by assis-
tants furnished to the assessors for that DUR
pose, and they were distributed with as much
promptitUde as the case admitted Of A no.
fary public was also delegated to take the
affidavit OF persons making the returns; but
the tax on personal property has failed SIM
ply because the law could not be carried out
within the prescribed period. 1t has been
executed as far as ii could be under existing
laws We understand that the facts will be
reported by the Commissioners to Congress
for such legislation as that body may deem
advisable, and that the schedules which have
been returned by taxpayers will be protected
from publicity.

Perhaps the worst sign, as regards the
guilt OF Beecher. is the declination of his
lawyers to put Mrs Tilton upon the stand
after the counsel for Tilton had offered to
waive any legal objection they might have
Interpo>ed against her testimony. The only
conclusion To be drawn is that Mr.. Beecher
does not dare to have her go upon the stand
lest her testimony should be invalidated by
the testimony of Miss Susan b. Anthony
Florence Tilton. and the half dozen other
persons 10 whom, according to uncomfortable
ted report, she confessed her guilt.
