PAY Your TAxEs.-It is the duty
of every citizen to pay his county
tax 1t is by means of the county tax
that the county government is kept
up; and every man who properly esti-
mates the value Of local laws securing
to him all the rights which high civil
lied society bestows feels himself in
duty bound to pay his tax. The col
lsctors in some of the Hundreds, as is
shown by the last monthly statement
of county Treasurer Herbert, are very
largely due the county. Many of them
have not paid as much as the Treas
urer thinks they should have collected
he is annoyed at the delay. We hope
that citizens will see the necessity of
assisting the county collectors in this
matter, and go forward and pay their
taxes at their earliest convenience.
The county needs money, and this is
the only resource it has to which to
look for it.

A Political SCHEME.-There are
rumors in Washington that the Re-
publican Senators are devising a plan
for strengthening their numbers in
the Senate. The proposition is to
introduce bill and pass it at the
next session to admit Dakota, or a
part of the Territory, as State. BY
this means they hope to secure two
new Senators to their party. 1t is pos.
sible that they might succeed in this.
But it Is very doubtful whether the
Democratic Senators would allow it to
be done. The Territory has not the
necessary population.

Mr.. Parnell, the Land League chief.
swns some house property in Dublin,
which the tenants complain of very high
rents, but he fairly states that the ten.
ants are Of the landlord class, and that
such property is not to be regarded in
The same category with agricultural. His
agricultural property consists Of 4,e7s
acres in the County of Wicklow, estl-
mated By Grifith's valuation at Fl PAS
per annum. The farms are let at the
Poor law valuation, which In some parts
of Ireland is higher, In others less than
Grifiith's. Rents are regularly paid.

Frednck Douglass said at the
Middlesex Club, Boston, that the
best thing that he had discovered in

CASHIER BALDWIN, Of the broken
Mechanics National Bank OF Newark,
n. j., is said by one who knows HIM 10
be ga well fed man physically, full OF
life and vigor, but devoid either of in
tellectuality or sensibility. He never
read a book, be had no education, no
social qualities he was not tinancier
in the usual acceptation Of that term"
That language in reference to Mr..
Baldwin comes from one MIR. Grover,
who had been a director in the defunct
bank, and is charged with being an
enemy of Baldwin. What he says may
be all true, and il so only shows bow
utterly wrong the president and direc-
tors were TO put faith IN the statements
OF the villalnous cashier. Mr.. Grover
also says that lie wrote letters to Comp
troller Knox at Washington Two years
ago, informing him that there was
something wrong in the bank, but that
the Comptroller did not seek out the
wrong where and when he should, but
lntrusted the letters 10 government,
bank examiner, who permitted Baldwin
to read them, and was deceived aad
misled by the cashier telling him that
Grover was an enemy
Here again is cause to complain of
the government bank Examiners.
Some of them may be relied upon
but in nearly every case where the mis-.
fortune of having rogue for cashier
befalls bank, it turns out that the
government Examiner was negligent
and lacking in his peculiar duties.
1t is said that some Of the depositors
in this broken bank talk of bringing
an action against the government Of
appealing to Congress for redress, be
cause Of the false statements made
under the authority of the govern
ment Examiner. They charge tina
they were misled by his statements
1t is not likely that they can recover
The government Examiner does no
append his signature to the published
statements. They appear over th
signatures of the officers Of the bank
The Bank Examiner is bird of pas
sage. He comes when least expecte,
and holds supreme control of the ban
and its contents while in it. But
lazy man will often prefer to spend a
hour in smoking cigar and take tn
word of cashier, rather than abar
don his cigar and faithfully labor {
his duty to secure the information b
should get personally.
The arrest yesterday Of Henry !
Marshbank, the former Correspondent
Clerk, of this bank, charged vii
embezzling $4,000, and the fac
made known since lead to the impre
sion in Newark that others are al
implicated in the robbery of the ban

The sharp decline in Confederate
Aoonds in London seems to betoken the
kclose of one stage in very curious
Operation. A Charleston paper called
the movement lucky lunacy for the
people of the South, and it is probable
that those persons who have taken the
opportunity to unload a few thousand
or million dollars of these securities
which had appeared chiefly useful as
lamplighters or something of the kind
will now congratulate themselves on
the cash they received for them.

From the N Y. Herald,
What They Thought Of One An
other.
1t is iather entertaining as well as
instructive to know how the directors
of the collapsed Newark bank felt to-
ward the cashier during the many
years that he was running up the
amount Of his robbery to two million
dollars and what the cashier thought
of the directors all this while. When
asked how 1T happened that Baldwin
was able to hoodwink tho directors SO
completely as to deficit so gigantic
one of these officers said -
because we had so much conf
dence in him that when he said the
money was there we never thought of
doubling him. Even when examining
committees have been appointed by
the Board we have had too much con-
fidence in him to doubt what he said.
| know this because l have been on
these committees.
This was noble feeling. But how
did the trusted cashier look upon the
directors duriBg this time : When
asked how he contrived to escape de-
lection when his accounts were exam
ined by the directors Baldwin frankly
replies -
ooh, you know what those exami-
nations are. They mean well enough,
but they don't know. If they see a
roll of one-dollar bills marked $50 they
will carefully count the roll and see
that it is all right or If there is boz
OF gold com they will jingle them all
over and count them with the greatest
accuracy. But when they come to
balances in the books they take every.
thiLg they see in black and white AZ
Gospel truth. SO, you see, il you have
$50 in cash correctly labelled you may
have difference of $4,000, 900 on the
books and they will never discover
| it,"
In how many other money concern
do the directors put a like unboundec
trust in their subordinates and the lat
ter reiprocate after the manner o
Baldwin?
