A NEW TAx.-The Republican pro-
poses to add new tax TO our already
heavy liabilities. 1t argues in favor Of
making the city responsible for the
property stolen from houses that are left
vacant by. citizens who remove to the
country, or 60 to the seashOre or noun
tains to enjoy the summer. OF course
this would require policeman to guard
every such vacant house and require the
number to be greatly augmented. This
1t argues would only be fair to tax-pay-
ers. In that case the matter might be
stated thus A gentleman Of limited
means desires to 60 to Saratoga, Cape
May, or Rehoboth. He pays tax Of $50.
He goes to spend the month Of July,
shuts his house up; and calls on the
Mayor to assign q policeman to guard IL
at $l2 week-four weeks $4S.OU. Thus
the matter is settled to the Republican .
satisfaction.

HARRY SHARPLEY, ESQ, is the only
Democrat who is reported as willing 10
serve as a candidate for President OF
the City Council. Mr.. Postles who ran
four years ago and number OF other
gentlemen have declined. MIR. Sharp
ley has not yet been nominated, but as
he has as vet no opposition it Is taken
for granted that he will be nominated
unanimously.
Mr.. Sharpley is regarded as young
man, and so he is; but he Is not so
young as he looks. He has served four
years Is State SENATOR, and is, therefore,
not without experience as legislator.
His legal attachments are also worthy OF
consideration, aud may serve to keep
the city out of costly litigation. In adj
dition to all this Mr.. Sharpley was
mainly instrumental in securing the pas
.ge of the law fer the removal OF the
Courts to Wilmington. IL, wa in fact
our Senator, although nominated and
elected from Brandywine Hundred, and
