! the rate OF taxation to 21.25 on the S10O!
considering that such reduction would tend
to invite capital into the many channels OF
manufacture m thHt might be profsably con-
Quoted here &. y. ss.ss 5i,fs
A low rate Of taxation materially en-
hances the credit OF the city and the value
OF its bonds. Is there another city south
OF the Potomac whose rnte of taxation Is
SO low and whose bonds are so high
The increase OF ten cents tax on the.
hundred dollars would probably not affect
the credit OF the city; but there can be no
doubt but that a considerable increase
would materially affect the value Of her
bonds.
The price OF gas is now lower than in any
city in the South, and about the same price
rs in.the largest cities al. the North. Why,
then. complain
A reduction will not be in the interest of
property elders, but will enure mainly to
the benefit OF large class OF consumers
whose chief tax contribution is in the small
profit made on gas.
Among those who would derive benefit
from reduction may be mentioned the
bar-rooms, bilIiard-rooms, hotels, banks,
insurance companies, railroads, theatres
and other places OF amusement, leaving
out the post-office and custom-hoIse.
It may be said that the thirty thousand
dollars Of lost revenue can be made up by
economy. III it can be done, no doubt the
Council will endeaYor to effect it, and re-
commend reduction in the rate OF taxa
tion instead OF in the price Of gas.
In conclusion, while would rather see,
the price raised than lowered, it would pro-
badly be better to

A QUESTION FOR THE Court OF APPEALS
TO DECIDE.-General johnson stated in the
Senate on Saturday that inasmuch as Sena-
tors Phlegar, Fulkerson, and Brooke, to-
gether with gentlemen on his side. wanted
the questiorPas to school tax settled by the
Court Of Appeals at once, petition would
be filed to-day in the Supreme Court Of Ap-
peals in behalf OF Sergeant James NJ. Tyler,
OF Richmond, for mdndamhs to compel
Auditor. Taylor to receive $500 IN coupons
paid to Tyler by d. G. Mayo for tine OF
that amount. 1t will be recollected that last
summer Mayo was fined $500 by Judge
Guigon for an assault. He rendered cou-
pons to the City Sergeant in payment OF it,
and the Sergeant refused to receive il.
Therefore Mayo sued out habeas corpus
before Judge Minor, who discharged him
from custody on the ground that the Ser
eeant ought to have received the coupons.
Tyler then took the coupons and offered
to pay them into the Treasury, but the Au-
ditor refused to receive them on the ground
tina. fines, having been dedicated by the
Constitution TO public schools, could only
be paid in money. This niandamuS, there
fore, will raise the very question which the
Senate has been debating for the last ten
days-that is, whether Mr.. Massey's bill de-
claring that coupons shall not be received
in payment OF taxes due the public schools
is constitutional. The question will be
pressed to speedy decislon-probably be-
lore the 1st Of February.

Gas,

A reduction in the price OF gas being
under consideration, / beg to say word or
two on the subject. 1t is estimated that
reduction OF tifty cents per 1000 cubic
feet involves loss OF revenue Of 100000,
and that it VIII be necessary to increase the
rate OF taxation on property ten cents on
the 500 OF valuation, or from Sl.ao TO
S15D per 500.
The estimate OF ten cents increase OF taxa
tion for every fifty cents reduction IN the
price OF gas is probably an oyerestimate,
and seven and q half cents would perhaps
be more nearly correct. But even on tals
basis would it not be better TO increase the
price Of gus TO $3.50 per 1000 and reduce

LAWRENCE BAgRETT.-Mr. Lawrence Bar
rett. the eminent tragedian, will on We'd
nesday evening commence an engagement,
when Richclieu will be presented. In the
past, says contemporary, we have taken
Mr.. Barret, ta tusk for allowing his youth
to escape at times into the character. but
this tendency has been brought into sub
lection, and il his Richelieu is not absolutely
faulte$s, it is head and shoulders above the
Richelicu OF any other actor on The Ameri-
can boards. His reading is ineomparably
tine. and since the days Of Edwin Forrest,
the text has been rendered luminous by no
such master. In the clearness Of his ex.
positions lies one OF Mr.. Barrett's great
charnls-perhaps his greatest merits; and
this implies very much that we cannot stop
to analyze, The elaborateness OF his Richie
lieu is positively amazing, and yet never u
touch OF pcdantry, never an intimation that
these finishing touches are his own-the
strokes OF genius that go to make the char
acter complete one.
