It is clear that tho Democratic maj iosity Of
tho House Committee on Expenditures In
the Navy Department wero guilty Of gross
unfairness in the matter Of the report upon
tho RoDEsoN investigation. At tho eleventh
hour the Republican members Of the Com
mitteo Tero afforded the privilege Of listen
ing to the hasty reading Of tho majority ro-
port, document Of enormous length, which
would require several days for proper ex-
animation mud consideration, and then wore
givou two hours in which to present their
objections. Tho report itself is charac-
terized as a partisan presentnent Of but ono
side Of tho case, giving only the damaging
testimony Of witnesses, without regard to
tho rebutting evidence. With al! their un.
fairness tho Democrats Lad not tho courage

.. THE LOST TAXES.
We do not propose to offer loyal advice TO
the Law Department Of tho city, but We do
suggest that the recovery Of tho $3.50, 900
taxes for tho yoars 1874 and 1873 is worthy
OF evon more than ordinary e1ertion, espe-
oially in tho present condition Of tho city
fnanccs. We aro awnrs TINT tho Supreme
Court has boon asked to grant rehca1ing In
the case in which TINT Court pronounced
Bill 300 to be unconstitutional md void. 1t
iR possible that the Court, from courtesy 10
tho city, may grant relearing, and that tho
Court in due tirne will listen to rcargu-
ment Of tho case, Unfortunately the qucs-
ton is not to DO heard on tile merits or oqui-
ties Of the case. It will be useless to tell tho
Court that these taxes were levied for lawful
purposes, for tho indispensable requirements
Of tho city, authorized, and most Of them di-
rooted, by law, for support Of tho City Gov
ernment; that there las never been m OBJ
lection to tho power OF the city to make tho
expenditures to meet which these taxes were
iutonded, and no expenditure was authorized
except in the manner provided by
Inv by previous appropriations. Il
will be useless to toll tho Court
that in tho entire procecdincs thero ia n
total absence Of fraud or injustice, or Of
my suspicion that the property concerned
waa not lawfully tho subject Of taxation to
tho amount md for tho purpose specified.
It Will bo useless to tell tho Court that tho
