MacVeaglps Finally, Butler, Farewell
q Brief Pen Picture Of the Leper OF
E American Politics.

Mr. Wayne MacYeagh furnished the
following letter, in reply to Butler, to the
press last evening
PHILADELPHIA, June o.
General B. n. Butter, Washington D. c.!
I fear YOU have overworked your inyen.
tive faculties, for your long and labored
letter ofto.day shows signs offailingpow-
ers, and will go far to destroy that repu'
tation for effective scuirllity which you
have so sedulously fostered.
The issue between you and me was OF
your own seeking, and is so plain that
YOU cannot obscure it by any amount Of
Misrepresentation however irrelevant or
vulgar. ,., d,
You deliberately wrote and published
concerningme four sheer falsehoods, with
out a particle of foundation for any one
oftheIn. Fhereupon promptlyput you
on the national pillory, with very leg
ibe statement of your ofenses upon your
forehead.
As you have endured your punishment
for an entire week and now virtually
confess that every statement made by
YOU was untrue. ! have no objection to
your getting down; utyou must notsup-
pose thatI placed you there in resentment
only.
My chief purpose was to exhibit you
as a warning to younger men by showing
them that in spite Of great ability and
energy you had become the leper Of our
politics by reason ofthe general conyic-
tion that you habitually disregard the
eighth and ninth commandments,
That purpose has been fully answered
by the comments of the country upon
your character, and | have 10 further in
terest in the matter. | will not even
take the trouble to deny any new false
hoods you may think 1t to your advan'
tage to invent about me, for those who
know me will not believe anything you
say against me, and those who know you
of course, will not believe anything you
say against anybody.

BARNUN AFTER CHARLIE ROSS.

Mr. Barhum is advertising himself
again, and seeking new attraction for
the greatest show on earth" Christian
k. Ross father Of kidnapped Charlie,
has been in Bridgeport consulting with
the Snowman. From evidence recently
obtained, Messrs. Ross and Barnum are
convinced that Charlie is still alive, aud
Mr. Barnpm has therefore determined
to make personal offer of $4,000 for
his restoration, that he may exhibit the
boy, giving at the same time the strong
est guarantee Of Immunity to the kidnap.
pers BY letters in Mr.. Ross's possession
it is considered established that kidnap.
ping as profession was adopted by a
band Of desperadoes, Charlie being their
first victim. The death of Moshier de-
prived the gang ofits leader, and their
organization has therefore been neces-
sarily abandoned. In now treating for
the re eoVery Of THE boy it is not consider
ed that Justice will suffer as it would
have done when upon the success of the
frstattack depended the continuedpros-
ecution Of this nefarious business The
chain ofeYidence is said TO seem toiusti-
fythe almost absolute confidence OF the

SHRLNKAGE or VALUES.
The Depreciation in Real Estate in Cities.

Philadelphia, like all other places, is
undergoing shrinkage of property val
ues that must tell in very large reduc-
ton of the tax assessments for the COM
ing year; and this, in turn, means one or
other of two things-eithera correspond
ingly large reduction Of the amount of
money to be collected from taxation, or
else higher tax.rate. Whatever mem
ber Of Councils has given attention to re-
cent sales of real estate, must have OBJ
served shrnkage in prices varying from
Is to 80 per cent. There may be exCep
tional instances in which it has been
lower, as there are some in which it has
been greater, but the figures given are
about the true range. We are referring
now to the shrinkage in Philadelphia
In New York it is much greater, extend
ing there from 30 to 50 per cent. The
most precise indication of this universal
depreciation we have yet seen is in the
recent report of the tax commissioners of
Allegheny county, in our own State. In
that county, including the two cities of
Pittsburgh and Allegheny, the tax vafa-
ton of 1875 was 1926, ,74l, but in 1877,
as just ascertained by til commissioners,
it is but $244, ,5Sl ,262-a decrease Of $Sl
65S,479 in a single year. Here 25 and
3'10Chs per cent are cut off in the tax val
uation at one swoop. The decrease is
far greater in the city ofPittsburgh alone
for there it amounts nearly 80 per cent,
thus reducing the tax resources of that
city $300,0 out Of every ST. 100000, un-
less the rates of taxation are put up, and
that is not any more feasible there than
here.
We do not think our values have
shrunk quite so much, taking the whole
city over, but the reduction is not less
than 20 per cent as an average for all the
wards. This implies a reduction in the
aggregate of our assessments from about
to about $400.000,00O, and
corresponding decrease in the city's an
nual income from taxation of more than
unless the rates be raised

no rhyme for Timbuctoo-to say nothing OF the
liberty taken with the habits and habitat OF that

noodestly offers the following nothing prophetic
or personal intended-which might be entitled
REFORM IN TMBUoToo.
There was black chief in Timbuctoo,
Well born and Of excellent pluck, too
He fought with such vigor
That, though but a Niger,
He rose to be King Of Timbuctoo
But alas for the King of Timbuctoo
He drank, aud lost head and good luck too;
so was taken and slain,
And that ended his reign
Poor Incorporate King of Timbuctool
Thereupon there was Joy In TimbuctOo:
Royal dues were reduced-usufruct too;
The taxes we're lowered,
Civil service restored,
And prosperity reigned in Timbuctoo.

In the Custom House investigation at
New York on Thursday. Henry Hem
ley, sugar merchant, testified that 1t was
quite a common thing for custom house
officers to take bribes when they pass
baggage containing dutiable goods with
ont examining then, and to plainly ask
for money for 80 doing. On one occasion
when witness was coming from Europe,
an inspector said TO him, "What is com.
ipg to me out Of this il / let il 90 right
through without examining it?" Inspec-
tors have chung around" his baggage
and asked for money and if money was
not given them they ransacked the bag
gage and turned everything up side down.
The next witness was H. ]. Meyers,
proprietor of the bonded warehouse. He
testified that there used TO be only one
sorekeeper at his warehouse, and he
had to pay him twenty dollars month,
but three months ago they put second
storekeeper in his store, and he had to
pay him twenty dollars a month also.
This money is demanded as fee. Wit
ness had to pay political assessment, and
every year Russell, superintendent ofthe
warehouse department, collected the
money. When he refused to pay any
more money for political purposes they
put on the second storekeeper. Wit.
ness paid Russell $500 at one time to have
one of his stores bonded. The law dis
tinctly forbds the paying of money for
getting stores either into or out of bond,
The political assessment paid by witness
amounted to about $500 year,
