The N. Y World says of the de-
structlon of property at Pittsburg -
ut is probably y moderate estimate
to put the total of these losses at
$4,500,00O. TIE assessed valuation
of Pittsburg is S172,OCO,0OO, and it
contains population Of 100000 per-
sons, many of whom, of course, have
been thrown out of employment or
subjected to losses and inconvenience
by these scandalous events. The city
therefore will have to submit to
levy on its valuation roll of $2.G1 IN
500 of taxable property, or rather
more than one tortieth of the total
amount. This is equivalent to fine
of S32,l5 laid upon every man, wo-
man and child in the city to compen-
safe the injured parties, or to an an.
nual impost Of 1925 per capita to
meet the interest at I per cent of
bonds issued to clear the indebted
ness"
Every |place cannot afford to in.
dulge in the luxury of wantonly de-
stroying private property. Every
dollar of it has to be paid in taxes
by the people so indulging.

An Interesting Historical Fact.

After the argument upon the Flon-
Ga case before the late Electoral Com
mission in Washington, Judge Brad
ley wrote out his opinion and his de-
cision in full. lie completed 1t at
about 6 O'Clock in the evening on the
day before the Judgment of the Com
mission was TO be announced, and
read it to Judge Clifford and Judge
Field, who were likewise members of
the Commission. 1t contained first,
an argument, and secondly, conclu,
sion. The argument was precisely
the same as that which appears in the
published document; but Judge Brad
ley's conclusion was tina, the votes of
the Tilden electors in Florida were
the only votes which ought to be
counted rs coming from that State
This was the character of the paper
when Judge Bradley finished it, and
when he communicated it to his col
leagues. During the whole Of that
night Judge Bradley's house in Wash.
ington was surrounded by the carri-
ages of visitors who came to see him
about the decision of the
Electoral Commission, which, as we
have said, was to be announced tho
next day. These visitors included
leading Republicans as well as persons
deeply interested in the Texas Pacific
Railroad scheme
When the Commission assembled
he next morning, and when the judy
nent was declared, Judge Bradley
gave his voice in favor of counting
he votes of the Hayes electors in
Florida /! The argument he did not
lcllver at the time but when it came
o be printed subsequently 1t was
ound to be precisely the same as the
rgument which he had originally
lrawn up, and on which he had based
lis first conclusion in favor of the Til
len electors.-Ne'c YORK; Sun, dug. 4.
