AN ERROR REFUTED.

New Yonx. Dec. Is. 1870.
To THE Eprron THE HKRALp;--
In your reporters interview with Mr.. John
McClavc. In todsys issue. relative to foreclosure
sales, there two inaccuracies which are of
sufficient importance to merit contradiction, and
propose to set that gentleman right without making
any special reference to his at legislation
for the sake OF sclf-aggrandizement The Lcgisa-
ture passed bill which took effect about the LIST OF
June last making the auctoneers fco for foreclosure
sales $5 and the fee for the Exchange saesroom 81
and there certainly has becn, to my personal knowl
edge, instance where excess Of these charges
has been made the passage Of the act. II Mr..
McCave knows where overcharge has been made
he should furnish the Information. and thus enable
the victim to recover the amount of the excess. Mr..
McClave's recommendation that this class OF sales
should be confined to one auctionecr Is somewhat
arbitrary. JUSTICE.

TAXATION IN JERSEY.

WORK OF GOVERNOR M MCLELLAN's COMMISSION
TAXING CHURCH. COLLEGE AND BANK PROP
EUTY.
In view of the inequitable character of the tax
laws in New Jersey. and the mode of administering
them. the last Legislature passed q law authorizing
the Governor to appoint special tax commission.
the duties Of which were prescribed by the act as
follows:-
The said commission shall make full and thorough
Of property and various occupations Of
the Of aS ssS ~ ss,.
irregua in such laws The commission Is also
laws relating taxation them shall likely
promote the agricultural, commercis manufacturing
and other interests Of the people Of the State.
Under the act Governor Mcclellan appointed
commissioners the following gentlemen Professor
George w. Atherton. OF Now Brunswick; Councillor
John p. Jackson, OF Newark; ex-Congressmsn
Nathan T. Stratton. of Mullica Hill; ex-Assembly
Senator @ George Dayton. Of Rutherford. These gen.
tleInen organized last summer and have held meet
ings all over the State collecting information from
all sources. They have just completed their public
meetings and will now meet four times week in
New Brunswick. and. besides collecting the in
formation they have received, will prepare q
bill to be submitted the next Legislature. gen.
tleman connected with the commission stated yes
terday to q HERALD representative that now the
commission has entered upon its most delicate. diff
fcult and important labors-the formation OF gen.
eral tax law which would have to be satisfactory to
the people of the State with their diverse interests
and opinions. Thore is widespread and growing
feeling that church property should be taxed. ut
least part the argument being that the State has
right exempt churches from bearing their portion
OF taxation. because doing essential viola
tion Of the constitution of New Jersey. which pro-
hibited any union Of Church and state. The State
recognized religion. and it was wrong. therefore.
to give church property privileges denied to other
property. similar feeling prevails in regard
to college property. It is contended that
rich college Ike Princeton has fully
much right to pay taxes has poor
private school. the conductors Of which gener-
ally struggling women. Another difficult problem
before the commission Is how to get banks aud bank
stock to pay taxes? or $16000.000 worth OF bank
property in tho State only 900 pays taxes The
rest owing to too accommodating laws. goes free.
The mission will strive to provide for reform in
this direction. The debt of the State Is provided
for that practically there is debt but the cities
and counties have debts which aggregate from
$40 900 900 to $500O0 900. The only county in the
State actually free from debt Is Gloucester IN South
Jernev.

PLEASURES OF CANOEING.
II must not omit to notice the pleasure Of canoeing
these rivers. In no other kind Of boat is one so
larger and heavier boats the very soldity takes of
from the sensation; but sitting in canoe with
bark between one and the water. the mobility and
lQuidity, and the instability and the delicate
balancings of tho supporting medium. are all
transmitted directly to the nerves of sensation.
At first the feeling of instability is rather alarming.
but the admirable skill with which these besuti-
full little barks are managed by the haif-breed
Indians very soon gives one confidence. Up the
stream they are propelled by polling along the
banks-and wonderful it is to see and feel the way
in which they are showed up the sharper. rapids
