The Finance Committee OF tho Common
Council have agreed upon plan for the
collection Of tho delinquent taxes Of 1873
and 1874, the payment Of which hos besn
for tho time Delayed. but not escaped, by tho
decision Of The Supreme Court that Bill 9Qea Is
unconstitutional, The Committee, following
out tho argumcntand suggeations put tforthin
The TRIBUNE, have reached substantially tho
same conclusion. viz: that tho Revenue
law Of the state provides method whereby
these taxes can be levied aud collected In
full, and The ta1-hghters compelled to pay
their just proportion Of the expenses Of tho
City Government. Tho plnn proposed Ia
for tho County Clerk, after having
boon furnished with certified copies
of the ordinances levying and assessing
tho amount Of appropriation for each
ycar, to proceed will, the collection of tho
tax in the same manner as he would pro-
ceed under the General law it no attempt
haa been 1nade to collect these taxes. :, 1t is
believed That no act Of the Legislature will
be necessary to legalizo this method Of COL
lection, but II such Legislation should be
found requisite, It can be eacured in time to
permit the collection Of tho delinquent taxes
along with tho tax Of 1876.

Tho Democratic County Convention wna
remarkable gathering,-n curious mixture of
silk-stockings and Dirty Shirts, of Swallow
Tails aud ShortHairs. Gen. JoHs F. FAnxs-

and made Democratic speech s. CORNING

'and, quoting from book which might have
been Mother Gooss or the Taluaud for all the
greater part Of his auditors knew, said to the
Democracy: "Thy people shallbs my people,
and thy God shall be my God" Tho crowd,
suppoaing that tho Chancellor alluded to
Slippery SAM" applauded vigorously, aud
thereupon proceeded to engage In most
disgracefn1 row, in tho course Of which Judge
R1rb1En, the stately and dignihod Chairman,
was flatly accused Of putting up q job, and
one Of tie shining lights OF the Convention
WAS forcib1y reminded Of record Of infamy
written against him in the Court files. Then
there wore yells and howls and curses mud
abusive epithets, and the beautiful fitness Of
Chancellor JuDp's Bible quotation was mora
md more apparent.

IT hroyity, while at the same time 1t treats
with sufficient comprohensivoness the ina-
poEtant queations OF tho hour,-tha protoo-
lion Of tho city'a credit, tho necessity for
'esrenchment and economy in municipal nf-
airs, and the collection Of the public rcye-
lues. Tho duty Of thorough and searching
'etrenchmcnt is earnestly urged upon the
Council as tho only road out Of cur difficult
lies, and tho salc Of tho city's unproductive
real estate, including the laAc:front property,
Is strongly recommended. The Mayor is nd.
vised by the Law Department that the
$l,8o0,000 Of uncollected taxes Of 1873 aud
1874 can DO collected undor tho General law,
but in the meantime relief must first como
through reduction Of expenses below tho

Mayor HEATH undoubtedly reflects the
views and wishes Of the greater part Of tho
community in his notion vetoing tie ordi-
nance providing for lighting but one-half Of
tho streetlnmps. Two excellent roasons are
given for tho voto,-hrat, that the ordinance
is in violation Of tho contracts now in force
with tho gas companies; second, thnt it
would be manifestly unjust to supply Light
for but ono-half of the streets whilo all the
people nre taxed to pay. for the gus and oil
have already been assessed for lamp-posts
It ia possible for the Common Council to do
viso some plan OF reducing the city's gus

4 NEW DEPARTURE IN THE COURTS.

NEW DEPARTURE IN THE COURTS.
at last comes judicial utterAnce from
which 1t would seem TINT It may como to bo
recognized by our Courts that witness may
have rights which a cross-examining lawyer
is bound to respect Hitherto, practically,
tho Courts have assumed that witnesses lind
none such. Tho Judges for tho most part
have distinguished themselves by the alacrity
with which they have delivered tho ]uck1css
witness, bound laud and foot by technical
rulings, over to counsel to be wanton1y tor
tured, and to have tho good fame earned by
lifetime Of probfty and honorable dealing
destroyed by diabolical innuendo. The
orotically, In this land Of freedom, no
person, in tho language Of tbs bill Of
rights, shall be hold to answer for capitnl or
otherwise infamous otfensc, unless on pre-
sentmont Or indictment Of Grand Jury.
But. as matter Of fact, whoever was caied
as a witness has beon by cross-exanining
attorneys charged with the most infa1uous
oEenses, put on trial therefor, and, after be-
ing subjected to tho most terrific lenuncia-
ton, convicted, while denied the right Of de-
fenso OF Of appeal. Tho business OF the
cross-cxamining counsel has been tho nssas-
sination Of witnesses character, and lucky
indeed has been tho witness who laa not
descended from the boz to tho immoasnrab1e
depths Of infamyto to which his cross-examiner
has consigned him.
But now comcs His Honor Judge EMMoxB,
Of tho United States Circuit Court, aud in o
decision reported In onr law colu,nns to-day,
actually rules, reversing all the established
practice, that the Inv docs not license Inv
yers to assassinate tho character Of wit
ncsses, and TINT upon The trial Of CAUSE the
trial should bo confined to that Of the person
accused, and that the tria1 of tho Witnesses
upon nozo charges made by counsel should
not bo tolerated.
In the caso in which Ills Honor 30 ruled
he even went so far as to protect witnesses
against the infamous assaults OF distin-
guiahed counsel, and to publicly warn tho
jury that tho "tor1i2o utteraucea" aud
screaming violence" Of the distinguished
counsel wero simply so much wind. and
wero indecent besides. In the course OF hia
defense Of a perseouted witness, Judge
EMMoNs, indeed, went further, md
made an attaok upon distinguished
counsel that was return redoubled Of the
fro to which the witness bud been subjected,
aud in which 1t ia suggested that tho pro-
fessionnl assassin Of witnesaes' character was
indeed an nccomplice after the fact Of ths
criminal he defended, aud not to be hold loss
guilty.
Judge EMMoNs' ruling works now dc.
parturo in tho administration of Justice,
