Parliament after an interview by the
mover with the French Emperor, OF a res

The popular feeling in England was so

that the minority in Parliament and in the
Cabinet, but for the conviction that their
course was tacitly approved by their
sovereign, would have found
themselves unable t successfully
resist these hostile measures. When the

The Cry TAX LEvY.-The City coun-
Gil held meeting yesterday afternoon, for
the purpose Of levying the tax for 1875. A
proposition of Mr.. Burke to rescind the
order by which one fourth of the real es-
tate escaped taxation, was taken up. Col.
J. II. Skinner, by permission OF the Coun-
ell. addressed it. He showed clearly, by a
clause in the Constitution that the exemp-
ton of the one-fourth was uncOnStltutlon-
al and unjust to the holders OF personal
property; and also damaging to the town by
exempting real estate, which made the tax
Oh capital employed in manufactures
heavier. The council refused to adopt
Nj. Burke's resolution by the following
vote: Ayes, Messrs. Burke, Hcge and
Witt; noes, Messrs. Ably, Bagby, Bickle,
Evans, Funkhouser and German.
TIE tax bill was then taken up. The finance
committee had reported a tax of ST in the
hundred on real and 81 in the hundred on
personal property, which was adopted.
The estimate for 1876 was made for receipts
$40 200, and for expenses $47 200. All
license taxes were raised 25 per cent over
hast year. except that the liquor merchants
tax which WAS raised 30 per cent, and the
bill WAS then passed.

THE COLD SNAP IN AUGUsTA.-The
Spring weather suddenly changed Friday
to bitter cold, and with the exception OF
an hour On Saturday the mercury was be-
low freezing point from Friday evening
until Sunday midnight. There was just
such spell in 1911, when the steamship
President was lost, and still later Il change
nearly as violent April 18th, 1861. Many
of our readers remember the latte: from the
fart that on that day the West Augusta
Guard, carrying the flower of our young
men, left for the seat Of war. AS far as
we have been able to learn, all the early
fruit, peaches, plums, cherries and apples
are probably killed. Tie forward wheat is
injured, but TO what extent cannot be esti-
