THE HARRIS INQUEsr.-CosO1er Chas'
tant yesterday held an inquest in the case
of Robert Harris, who was killed last
Wednesday at the corner Of Caron delet
and Common streete, for which Mr.. Thomas
Devereaux was arrested. Several Wit
nessee had been summoned, and the first
one sworn was c. NJ. Byrnes, who vas net
many yards off when he heard the pistol
shot: he saw a man fall, but did not see
who fred, although nobody was between
him and the PROSTATE man.
Peter NJ. Woodlief was near the scene'
heard the explosion, saw q man fal'; sa"
another person. with whom he was unac-
quaiRted, walk away.
Jehn d. Smith heard the shot and no.
ticed smoke, but fleeing ladies prevented
him seeing anything more.
DIR. Drew stated that after the body was
deposited in the yard at police headquar-
ters he had examined the wound, and
found that a bullet had penetrated the
skull, cutting the brain.
Henry Mourer testified that he was stand
ing near the scene and heard pistol shot:
saw Harris fall; saw man dressed In
light cosored clothing walk off, holding a
revolver in his hand; that individual walked
down Common street.
This was all the evidence obtained, when
the Jury returned verdict that Rob
ert Harris had come to his death at the
hands of an unknown person, therefore DR..
Chastant could not make charge against
any oHe.
Judge Adams was informed OF the posi-
ton of affairs, but he declined to release
Mr.. Deyereaux on that showing. Mr..
Deyereaux' friends then applied to Judge
Steele, Superior Criminal Court, for writ
of habeas corpus, but that tribunal declined
to take action, whereupon accused was re-
mande6 Tn DrieOu.

fey TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDuHE.i
AB.SY, March 23.-Thc Assembly ordered to a
third reading tonight both Mr.. Strahans ana sen
ator Morrsseys bill designed TO relieve citizens VINO
have been delinquent in the payment oi taxes ana
assessments. Mr.. Strahans bill reduces tue
penalties on unpaid taxes from II per cent 10 I, II
they are paid within one year; and Senator MOTIFS
sew, bill AS now amended, reduces the penalty Oh
unpaid assessments from Ii per cent to 5, and pro-
ydes for their payment IN three annual instamen's.
The friends of these bills admit that their action
will eventually produce deficit but urge that they
viii result i'm an immediate gain 10 the Treasury,
and relieve much distress
Controller Green il strongly opposed to the pas
SAGE of either bill and tomorrow A memorial al
dressed by him TO the Legislature Will be presented
i'm hone of preventing their final passage. The Con
troller takes the ground that these measures merely
compel citizens who have pad their taxes or ASSESS
ments. with or without penalties, to make
no for the deficiency of taxpayers who ha
been Delinquent, and often purposely lie states al
considerable length the laws under which the pres
cnt penalties for delay eXaced, and insists to
destroy this penalty is to destroy one OF The vlta
features of the sy stem. lie shows that the taxes
remaining unpaid Jan. l, 1876, amounted to S2l,-
800 600 while the assessment bonds outstanding
amount to 81 322 GOO the annual interest on which
GOO The loss which would result to the city
from the adoption Of these measures the Controller
estimates at 81 300, ,000 which would necessarily
be included in the next tax budget Senator Nor
rissey's bill would require the opening of 10000
new accounts and more than half 4 million entries
and result in an increased expenditure for clerk hire
The Controller also states that the introduction OF
these bills has already checked the payment OF back
taxes and assessments.
