The nineteenth century is fast discovering
all popular opinions to be Illusions. sometimes
pleasant, but generally otherwise. Having
done away with the place where, i'm benighted
ages. criminals after leaving this world were
supposed to be confined, the destruction of
geneTaIyreceiyed notions concerning their
present condition, is next in order. The latest
attempt IN this line is an attack on the idea
that habitual criminals are mainly the product
OF great cities. Statistics, the great source OF
modern argument. published on this subject
10y the London Times, seem To- show that while
the aggregate mass Of crime in cities is, of
course, large. the proportion of criminals to
population is, if anything. smaller than in
towns and rural districts. I'm London the pro
portion is 4 i'll 10000: in Liverpool II in
ln.cC0: in Taunton. an incOnSiderable
village l. in 10000: but we suspect
that Taunton is an exceptionally wicked little
place. The favorable showing that London is
enabled to make is aScribed TO the vigilance of
tie police and to the great number and vari-
ETY. OF careers open to the Inhabitants 1t is
asserted that crimes Of malignity and all
crimes OF violence not dictated by a wish to
obtain property flourish chiefly in small towns
and rural districts. great many more sta
tisticS- however. will be required to bring the
question to decisive settlement. 1t would
I've sad blow for the debating societies if they
should be cut of ut last, by memorable stats
ties. from all rhetorical alluSioH to the purity
Of the country as compared with the crime
and corruption of the city For their Sakes
no haSty decision should be made.

Virginia is bankrupt, according to the re
port of the Auditor of Public Accounts. No
money is received for taxes, all payments
being made in coupons. which are at - per
cent discount: there is but Sl03 in the treas
ury: no money can be borrowed. as there is
SlI3,v~ now due To banks and they refuse fur
ther loans: and finally. there is not even money
10 pay the per diem OF the members of the
legislature. This last fact will probably bring
the members to a realizing sense of the de
plOrabl financial condition OF the state. The
fact that money cannot be borrowed from any
quarter will admOniSh them further of the
folly of legislation calculated to cripple the
credit OF the state. such as they have been in
dulging in during the session

I'm view of the exceptionally hard times. and
the exceptional weight of the burdens resting
upon District taxpayers, it is suggested that
Congress, i'll legiSlating upon District taxes
should provide that all general taxes. which
are now in arrears to the District of Co
Iumhia. Shall be paid on or before the first
DAY of July. ISIS, and that all taxes SO paid
shall be entitled TO a remission of all penalties
tines. and fOTfeitUTeS except interest ut the
rate of six per cent. per amman on the tax
from the date of its maturing. At the same
time it should be provided that those who have
paid such penalties should have the amounts
so paid credited in the way of rebate on their
next taxes. To a very large class of impover
I,hed taxpayers the penalty Of two per cent
PermOnth on delinquent taxes simply amounts
to cOnfscation OF their property. They speed
lily abandon all hope of saving il from the raw
enOuS mawS of a tax that eats il up 1T the rate
OF twenty-fOur per cent per year. The result
IS shown in the APPALLING fact that more than
tTo.FtttS of the entire real estate belonging TO
citizens is now held by the District of Column
bla under purchase at tax sales.

The action OF the House yesterday in push
ing aside the District bill, shows how grudg-
lngly any time is given to District matters.
This is probably natural, in view of the I'M
portant national subjects OF legislation press
ing upon the attention of Congress: but it
serves to remind us of the danger that, in the
little time the House can give to District egis-
lati0n, any prOtracted or heated debate upon
the District bill will serve to defeat it, 1t is to
De hoped. therefore, that members friendly to
the Dlstrlct VIII bear IN mind that the people
here are comparatively Indifferent as to the
shape the bill passes. if only the provision es-
tahlishing the mOneyed equities between the
District and the government is adopted. Con
gTeSs can suit itself as to the form of District
government il will prescribe, or whether there
