The FRATERNITY DANCE.-The fourth
dance of the Fraternity course will take place
at City Hall this evening. These dances con-
tinue to increase in popularity on each sue
cessive evening, and at the last one given on
Christmas evening very large and eujoyable
party was present. Jack Frost has at last
fairly taken strong hold on all of us, and now
is the season when the great world OF pleasure
makes up for the biting winter weather, the
gloom and cheerfalness of out door life, By i'm.
proving to the utmost the opportunities for
winter festivities 1t is the very height OF the
social season, when balls and parties are most
numerous, and when the minor gsyeties Of So
ciety, the sociables and the dinner party, are
also to have their full share of attention. We
fear that world without entertainments of
this kind would be voted very slow, not only by
the young girls, who have just come out in
whatsseems to them fairy land of social en-
joyment, but to good many older and more
experienced people who have not lost with ad-
vancing years, their relish for the pleasures of
society.
Bat three more Of these delightful entertain
ments will take place this season and
all who ATE interested should improve the op.
portunilies that are now offered to them. We
are requested to say that the dancing will COM
mence promptly at 8 o'clock.

feel it my duty to return to the Common
Council, 10 which it originated, without my ap,
proval, the order passed by the City Council at
its last regular meeting, directing in substance
the Committee on Finance TO cause the asses
sors, or such other persons as may be appeiRted
by that committee, to make arevaluation of the
real estate in the city. not Of the real and per-
sonal estate
l think there exists more or less misappre-
hension on the subject Of the valuation of prop
erty for the purposes of taxation. AS far as the
Board of Assessors are concerned, they are
sworn officers appointed in the manner pre-
scribed by law, and their duties are clearly de-
fined by statute and the city ordinances. They
are not under the direction or control of any
committee or any department of the city gov
eminent. One of their duties unquestionably
is in the assessment of taxes, to make year oy
year, and every year. as true and equal vaua.
ton as is practicable, not only Of real estate in
the city, but also OF all taxable property therein.
No Just assessment can be made without doing
this. Indeed the word assessment as applied to
taxes means, the determining tbs value of taxa
BILE property and apportioning accordingly the
levy equally among the owners thereof. They
are sworn to the faithful and impartial dis
charge of this, one of their principal duties, as
we'll as of all others, and they are held person
ally liable by the statute for any want Of faith
fuluess or integrity Their valuati ou lists yeri-
fed by oath and transmitted to the State au-
thori ties form the basis sub ect equaliZatioD
of the appOrtionment of the State tax every
decade among the towns and cities, pursuant to
the constitution. BY our city charter they have
seven assistant assessors, QUE from each ward,
to aid them in the performance of their duties.
Thus it would seem that machinery enough has
been provided by law, through its regular, re-
sponsible officers to perform the required work
Of valuation, without calling in extra help with
its attendant extra expenses.
Still, have no doubt, as matter of expedi
ency and discretion, for the purpose of affordng
inf md nF nil limo

silver dollars heretofore coined BY the
United States, Of like weight and fine
ness, shall be legal tender at their
nominal value. for all debts and dues

erwise expressed or stipulated in the
contract; and the secretary Of the
Treasury is authorized and directed to
purchase from time to time silver bull
ion at the market price thereof, not
less than $4,000. eco worth per month
nor more than S4,000.000 per moth,
and cause the same to be coined
monthly as fast as SO purchased, into
such dollars, and a sum sufficient to
carry out the foregoing provisions of
this act is hereby appropriated out of
any money in the Treasury not other
wise appropriated; and any gain or
segniorage arising from this coinage,
shall be accounted for and paid into
the Treasury as provided under exist
ing laws relative to subsiding coinage:
pr oUided, the amount Of money at any
one tune invested in snch silver bull
ion, exclusive of such resulting coin,
shall not exceed IS, 000,00 and pro-
vided further that nothing in this act
shall be construed to authorize the
payment in silver Of certificates of de-
post issued under the provisions of
section 254 Of the revised statutes.
Section two repeats all acts inconsis-
tent with this act.
Section three provides three COM
missioners, to be appointed by the
President, to confer with representa-
tives of other nations, in order to
adopt a common ratio between gold
and silver and for the purpose of es-
tablishing uniformity in their use.
Section f. That any holder of the
coin authorized by this act may deposit
the same with the Treasurer of the U.
States, or any Assistant Treasursr Of
the United States, in sums not less
than ten dollars, and receive therefore
certificates OF not less than ten dollars
each corresponding with denominations
Of United St8tes notes. The coin de-
posted for, or representing the certi-
ficates, shall be retained in the Treasury
for payment of the same on demand.
Said certificates shall be receivable for
customs, taxes and all public dues,
and when so received may be reissued.
The vote stood, 48 for and 21
against, giving more than two-t thirds
vote in its favor. Messrs. Howe and
Cameron of this State voted in the
affirmative.
The passage Of this bill through the
Senate did not have the effect on gold
or Government bonds that had been
predicted by its opponents. On the
contrary, the effect was quite the re
verse. for instead of gold going up, it
actually declined, and the bonds ad-
vanccd instead Of declining. It must
be remembered in this connection.
however, that the original Bland Bill
was shorn Of what the anti-silyer men
called its most obiectional features,
before it got through. One of these
was the free coinage clause, by which
was claimed holders OF bullion would
make about s per cent. in getting it
colned-a profit which under the pres
ent bill accrues to the Government.
The 4th Section was also added, and
is certainly very desirable provision.
