Thomas j. Creamer's sharp Answer 20 Com
mOtnre Wander hilt.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN.-iSLr: In
your Sunday edition appeared statement made
BY Commodore Vanderbilt in which that gen.
tleman saws that the movement inauguratsd To
compel corporations organized under the laws
OF this state to pay taxes on their personal prop
erty oreauized by stock SPECTATORS for
selfish purposes. This statement In about q
true az tho one he makes to the Tax Commits
soners of this city when no asserts that indie
pendent Of all his debts and obligations, his
personal property Is worth but million and a
quarter Of dollars. He says that the New York
Central corporation pays In every county
through witch II runs but he does not toll us
how much that amounts to. or how much should
be deducted from tho stock capital OF ninety
millions paving eight per cent dividends that
does not pay one dollar tax. He claims that tho
banded debt IA to he deducted from the capital,
bht he does not tell us how much of this debt
that Yields seven per cent. per annum.b he owns
himself, or whether n dollar OF the entire bond
ed debt pays any tax VIII tever.
VIII no explain why IL In necessary for his at
torneys tn make rfiidavits In this city that the
eadquarters OF his COMPANY WIS IN Albany
county-which we all know to be sham-while
his superintendent and one of hts ATTORNEYS
make statement before the Board Of Assessors
of Albany county that the returns made ut
their headquarters IN the city OF New York (;
the fact being that this aigantic corporation,
with a canitfl Of &l30WfeO 600 that taxes com
merce for It's own benefit in this State s3OOOO,0O
annually, makes no returns whatever IN com
pliance with the lnws of the State.
notice further that one of lnh SUNS Albany
correspondents states that one Of the attorneys
for Mr.. Vanderbilt asked MIN why It was that
did not discover this state OF things while was
Tax Commissioner. NV answer Is that when
that gentleman appeared at the tax ONCE In this
city and swore tina; the returns Of the New YorH
Central corporation was made at Albany then
believed him oath.
l want the public to understand that there IL
nothing that say ABOUT the abuve corporation
that does not appl with equal force tn nearly
all the principal corporations Of our state.
There Ia nothing personal In thus move about

Mr. VIM. II. Vanderbilt and several OF the
directors OF the corporation above mentioned,
with whom I am personally acquainted are gen.
uomen for whom have the highest respect, but
they have very little to say bout these matters
What real estate owners. landlords, aud tenants
OF this city ark Is that all property IN this city
aud state shall be Justly taxed. We have n right

A Female Husband.

Extract of a letter from a gentlem an
in Scotland to his friend in Virginia:
" will now tell you of two young wom-
en- who had been disappointed in mar
riage, and being intimate they revealed
their minds to each other, and resolved
to live as man and wife in some place
where they were not known. They
drew lots to decide which should be the
man. The one on whom it fell assumed
the name of James Han. They then
set out on their journey, and at last
came to Epping, leased a house there,
and kept an inn. They had a servant,
but each performed the duties belong
ing to his or her station. They traded
honestly, gained a good deal of money,
were well respected, and lived together
81 years, until at last the wife died,
when the discovery was made. James
Han served in all the offices of the place
except constable, and had been often
foreman of juries, and was to have been
churchwarden if the discovery Of her
sex had not been made,'
