City Tax-BilIs for Is76--NOte from the
City Attorney.
Editors Of the Dispatch:
The recent corrections Of city assessment
made by the Hastings Court do not affect
the levy for the present year. The act OF AS
sembly is, indeed, silent on this subject, but
the character of the proceedings makes this
plain. The Court does not inquire whether
the assessment was just when made, Or at
any time antecedent to the inquiry the
question invariably is, What is the present
value of the property? As.the Court does
not decide that there was error when the
tax-bllls for this year were made out, those
bills are not impeached. Moreover, the
taxes for the current year have been for
the most part collected and expended; and
the Court is without power to order re-
turn of the same, or any part thereof, to the
TAXPAYER. A. NJ. KELLEY,
City Attorney.

LOCAL MATTERS.

REPLY OF THE SECOND AUDITOR TO THE
House REsoLUTIoN.-General Asa Rogers,
Second Auditor Of the State, has responded
to the resolution of the House OF Delegates
for ga statement of the condition Of the
Second Auditors office, its history and ope-
rations, with q view to q proper under
standing OF the subject" In closing his
statement, which seems to afford all the in,
formation asked for, he says: .-...
The Governor tells you that s'as the re-
suit OF nearly three years of daily and close
observation he is of opinion that several
of these offices can be abolished" &C., and
among them that Of Second Auditor.
My experience during public service
here running through a period OF more
than forty years OF "close observation"
though not 4" daily" except for the last ten
years, is exactly the reverse. have studied
carefully the system OF checks and balances
referred to, with the vast and varied con-
Germs Of this office, and it is my deliberate
Judgment that while your public debt exists,
and as long as the hali-million OF dollars a
year land steadily increasingly Of the free
school funds now passing through this office
shall be received and disbursed by some
safer agency, the office of Second Auditor
cannot be abolished without mischief to the
country.
For these reasons, and many more which
might be adduced, cannot doubt that the
General Assembly Of Virginia will decline
to abolish this ng-established department
OF the government, never more esSentlal 10
the public interest than now.
I will be pardoned, trust, for adding, i'm
respect to the duties and responsibilities OF
this department, that since my appointment
more than one hunded million dollars in
money, warrants, stocks, and bonds have
passed through my official hands, and under
my signature, without the loss OF one dollar
to the Commonwealth, so far as know.
I am aware that this statement may be at
tributed, more OF less, to my own personal
interest. can only appeal to those who
know me best to sustain me in the declara-
tion that would despise myself if, in the
evening OF long and active public life, l
should desire to cling to a position as pen
sioner upon my country, holding ''sine-
cure Office and not rendering adequate
service TO the Commonwealth.

THE Mosaic ENTERTAINMENT.-Th Mo-
sale entertainment last evening was de-
cided success, both as regards the dramatic
performance and the pleasure derived by
its participants from the dance.
The play was "Faint Heart Never Won
Fair Lady," and the admirable manner in
which it was given does great credit to all
concerned, and most especially to Miss Ma
toaca Gay, under whose direction it was
gotten up. When all did SO we'll it were
hard to discriminate.
Miss Gay as the Duchess, and Miss Vir-
ginia Peasants as Donna Leonora, played
their roles beautifully. while Dir. John
Purcell as Ruy Gomez, and DIR. James P.
Cowardin as the Marquis, did their parts
admirably. The latter gentleman had an
entirely new and striking conception Of his
character. a.s2e
Mr.. Elicit as Charles IL, Mr.. Dunn as
Guzman, Mr.. Charles Early as Lopez, and
the pages, Masters q. A. Caskie and @. Ro-
binson, all did their parts well.
The appointments of the stage were
beautifully gotten up, and the entire sue
cess of this entertainment should be very
Gathering to the lady managers, and st1mu-
