the quotas which have been fixed for the
police and schools, and meet the demands
of the public creditor.
If this act be carried into effect, and the
tax be not voted, it will entail an expendi-
ture upon the city to no purpose, and which
will not be reimbursed by the parties in in
terest. If the tax be voted, it is probable.
that it can not be collected until the courts
shall have passed upon the constituti0nality
of the law. The great number of suits
which will thus be caused will entail heavy
expenses upon the city, if the tax shall be
declared illegal, or heavy, costs upon the tax
payers should the tax be declared legal:
As these costs will fall most heavily upon
the smaller taxpayers, it seems Ito me
proper that some measures should be taken
to test the legality of this act in such
manner as to save any unnecessary ex-
pense.
submit, therefore, to your considera-
ton, whether your refusal to carry into
effect this act on the ground of it's
unconstitutionality, leaving to the parties
interested their remedy 1T law, will
matter. Should the legality of the act be
once established the tax, if levied under it,
would probably not be resisted, unless by
those who are unable to pay.
regard the imposition of this tax, par
ticulariy at this time, as likely to produce
the most disastrous consequences. Our
citizens have been struggling for years
with an excessive taxation which has ex.
hausted their resources-a burden of un-
paid taxes lies upon . large proportion OF
their property, and mass Of bonded and
floating debt beyond their present ability
to pay, has destroyed, in great degree, the
marketable value of property. Capital has
| fled, and unemployed labor and paratyz ed
trade arc the consequences. impressed
! with these facts, it has been the aim Of this
administEatioa to reduce the burdens Of the
people, restore tho broken credit of tho
city and tho value Of property, hoping that
BY this means conAdeaOo night return,

Truth Against Error.
To the Editor of The HERALD:

To the Editor of The HERALD:
As the public has a great awakening on
the subject of improved legislation on the
liquor traffic, and some of the churches are
at a loss to know what stand to take on
this subject, or a disposition to be quies-
cent. I send to you for publication the
action of the General Conference of the
NJ. E. Church, Brooklyn, N. Y, in 1872.
II may be found on page 357 of the Disci-
pline, as follows:
Resolved, That we are more than ever
convinced Of the absolute need of total legal
prohibition as a condition of the removal
and cure of the evils of intemperance, and
we here pledge our utmost endeavors to
inaugurate so wise and salutary dispens'
ton.
Resolved, That we should make special
effort to secure the nomination and election
to office of strictly temperance men.
The action of the Wilmington Conference
at it's last session, held in this city in March
1876, is confirmitory Of the above and il
possible in stronger language.
According to our best recollection the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, at one of it's recent session, passed
similar resolutions.
The late request for the assistance Of
ministers and whomsoeyer they appoint is
no more than what the aforesaid action
authorizes. If any minister needs high
ecclesiastical sanction to strengthen right
convictions here 1t is, and more might be
added. x. w.

At large temperance meeting, held in

able address was delivered by Rev. Pepnell
Coombe, upon the past, present and future.
The lecturer displayed his usual powerful

his subject this evening, and make it upon
"Local Option" a subject which had been
set down for the third week Of his visit The
object of this change is for the effect that it
will have upon the temperance movement

A Dream about Cold Water.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD IL
dreamed that dwelt in peace Of a coun-
try, where nobody ever took Q nip In the
morning or in the evening. Few people
knew the taste of that which the Indians
have most appropriately termed fire water.
Every body took their water without an
introduction to stranger, It liked to keep
It's own company and whenever 1t did mix
with anything else, it got tangled, and re-
minded the drinker that there was sort of
miniature He'll Gate going on inside of him.
There was but one man In this land of my
dreams whoever did mix these properties
on the sly, and be received the nomination
for Congress on Temperance ticket. He
was man of remarkable piety, never
chewed, never smoked, and wore a standing
collar and a white necktie. He sat in the
Amen corner and wiped his eyeglasses with
q red bandana. Everybody promised to
vote for him. He carried glass of water
In one hand and wee drop Of the creature
in the other hand. When he came to
crowd that seemed pretty lively and knew
W hat good thing was, he told them that a
little for the stomach's sake was all right,
and that 1t was the abuse of good thing
and not the use of 1t that spoiled 1t.
He told of where the Bible spoke about eat,
drink and be merry, but the scene changed
when he came across crowd that never
"took stick in them;" his face was as
calm then as an Italian lake In sunset, his
countenance looked as though It had never
been shaken by smile, he produced the
hand with glass of water In It, while he
held the other hand and Its contents under
his coat tails. The faces all looked up to
time and said "age, verify, num-" and
while they were looking so closely on the
orator the water turned to ice and the man
froxe to death. awoke and found that I
was In Wilmington.

Further Damage Done-TAe Rais Road
Trains Running.
The severity of the rain storm which
showered down water In such large Quanti-
ties Saturday night and Sunday, awakened
among the superstitious, lively impressions
that there had been contradiction in the
predictions, and the end of the world would
be marked by an event similartto that near
the beginning. A representative of the
HERALD, had talk with an old colored
man living over Third street bridge, and he
declared that "while he didn't want to have
no hard feelings ag:n de work of dis food,
he thought 1t was pretty hard, dat such
scrimination should be made agin us hard
working colored pussons." The water SUBJ
sided great deal yesterday, and all un-
easiness that was felt in the flooded dis
trcts has abated.
In White Clay Greek the water was higher
than it has been known for years. The
Wilmington and Christiana turnpike was
impossible between Stanton depot and
Stanton village. The water rose SO rapidly
that workmen In Tatnall 81 Richardson =
mill. were unable to remove all the fou,'
before the water reached 1t, and In const
quence of this one hundred or more barrels
were damaged to considerable extent.
Cooch's county bridge, near Newark was
washed away and a large dam at Dyotts,
half mile from the bridge was broken.
Another large dam at Smalley's mills was
broken, and all of these contributing large
forces to the Chrlstiana, swclled that stream
10 proportions that 1t has not known for
some time. The flood was so great in the
Cnristiaua that it washed over the planks
Of the bridge, and in many of the houses
the occupants were taken out of second
story windows.
A large culvert between Christiana and
New Castle on the farm of John Ludden
was washed away, and travel impeded go
much by road that corn fields have to be
used.
The hay scales at Christiana erected by
Mr.. Webber which were three feet above
the surface were washed away, as waa
nearly everything in his store. The water
was three feet higher than ever before.

Propertv O,vners Lament.

Sometime ago the property owners on
each side of the New City Market House
on East Second Street, petitioned City
Council to have the bed of Second, between
Market and King streets, repaved. We un-
derstand the property owners are willing to
pay the difference between the cost of cubi-
cal blocks and the ordinary stone paying.
This matter certainly deserves the prompt
attention of the Street Committee and the
Council, as the present condition of the
street is pei feet nuisance.
