JUDICIAL "MIsTAKFs AND MfsCALcULATIoNs."
The evidence before the Wallace lnvesti-
eating Committee yesterday showed that the
Democrats of this city not only manufactured
thousands of bogus naturalization papers, but
that money had been raised by selling
them. Senator Blair wished to call a number
of witnesses who, in 1868, were engaged III
this illegal traffic, but the Democratic mem
bers of the Committee had heard enough. EX-
Judge Jones, by whom a number of these fraudu-
lent naturalization papers were apparently Is
sued. testified that they must be the
result of mistakes" or miscalcula-
tons" on his part. Senator Melon
aid was placed in an embarass-
ing position by Mr.. Davenport's assertions
about the part which Tammany Hall has
taken in these proceedings.

the present their real property SHAH De taxed where
situated that their personal property and capital stock
shall be assessed except as prescribed IN tue act and
that the act itself requires that such assessment shall
be made by the State Controller instead Of by the City
Tax Commissioners They ask therefore, for Wits OF
certio ar to such assessments by tho Commis
sioners.
The most importint OF yesterdays were those
of the elevated railroad companies. The New-York
Elevated Railroad Company claims that the Tax Com
missonecs in making out the assessment rolls DID IN
lawfully exclude deduction or loss upon Tie sale
OF DO nds that they did make deduction for the
cost real estate but in making said deduction they
made an error IN figures, deduction by hem being
