ALEXANDRIA, VA.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER I, 1876.

THE CITY TAX RATE-If there has been
ono ,binp NOR. tllau another which has always,
from time whereof the memury OF man runneth
not to the contrary, provoked the anger anu
excited the resistance OF the anglo Saxon man
il is taxes. Magma charta was framed to settle
the principle of taxation. The American he
volution was begun TO resist an iligltlmate tax.
There we're few matters which the founders OF
our institutions subjected to severer scrutiny
than new tax, and 10 every scheme OF taxa
ton whicn they devised they were careful to
let the people see the exact purposes Tor which
the taxes were expended. When new cause
of general expenditure arose 1t Was met, as
far as possible, by taxes on the subjects most
likely to be benefited by the enterprise which
caused the expenditure. This principle cootrols
all the early bills for raising revenue in this
city. A most homely but familiar example Is
a tax of twenty-five cents on each COW Wltnlo
the town, the sum raised belug used tor the
purchase and maintenance Of the corporation
bulls. Take one specimen: To pay the ex
penses OF the city government, salaries, fuel,
&c, each male lithable paid one dollar and
fifty cents The watchmeu were paid by tax
on the various kinds of business; those PROBES
slons which were deemed to be more specially
in peril from fire, as bakers and brewers being
taxed at higher rate. The general commu'
nifty paid their share of the expenses OF the
watch by tax OF 66 cents on each story OF al
OCCUPIED house, levied on the tenant. For the
general expenses OF laying out new Streets put
ting down new pumps, &c., from ten to twenty
cents per huodred dollars Oh real estate were
levied, that ward of the town In which the
work was done carrying the heaviest share OF
the burden. For keeping the streets 10 order
q TAX was levied on horses, carriages carts aod
draws, while special tax was levied Oh tavern
keepers, which probably paid the policemen.
And when the towo was first lighted the lamps
were paid for by a tax OF SIX cents per
front foot on the squares where lamps were
erected. The expense of the oil and care
of the lamps was met By tax OF thirty
cents on each story of house, paid BY the
tenant. In this way the tax payer kneW
not only how much he paid but for what he
paid, and the community was enable 10 each
case to contrast tue burden With the beneht.
Beside this there was general tax OF from
to 40 cents, depending on the general enter
prises of the town during the year. We give
below statement of the combined ward and
general taxes for the years named:
La 1904 the tax was 1863 cents on each oHe
huodred pounds Virginia currency OF real es-
tate, and 50 cents per .sl00 of personal estate.
One pound OF Virginia currency was equal to
81 "a cents federal currency.

The wisdom of never halloong until you are
out OF the woods was never illustrated more
speedily nor TO more advantage than by the
returns from the Vermont election. Because
reports from some of the toWns 10 that State
those 10 which the radicals had excrted their
strongest efforts-ipdcated a slight increase 10
their maiorities, the newspapers OF that party
throughout the c,uatry, whose hopes we're
fathers to their thoughts, instantly announced
that they had made great and even unexpected
gains, aud that toe Stale was theirs by ma
iority of thirty thousand. Now that fuller and
more com plete returns have been received, 1t
appears that Instead Of gaining, the radicals
have lost for while their majnrlty 10 1874 was
tweaty five Thousand, their majority this year.
50 tar as yet announced, is only fifteen or SIX
teen thousand. The democrats only tried to
reduce the majority, and as their most sau
guiue expectations never Induced them to think
that that reduction would exceed Eve thousand,
their exultation over the result, is but natural,
and they say that similar increase 10 their
vote in all the other sections of the country will
leave Hayes and Wheeler with no other electo.
raj votes save those of the Green Mountain
boys. Some people 90 so far as to say that
yesterday 5 announcement of the great increase
in the radical vote of Vermont was premedl
tated attempt to deceive the public for party
etfect-those engaged 10 it hoping that many
who heard the first news would be influenced
=. l. T. 49, 4,
but such was doubtless not the case, for how
ever iuconsiderate some of the organs of that
party are, they must have known that such
tricks invariably react to the disadvantage OF
those concerned in them, and the newspapers
referred to are probably as much depressed by
the disappointment OF to days news as they
were cheered by that of yesterday.
