COMMUNICATED.
Dr. Louis A FaIIsg ana and His
Sewer lob or Bill.

sewer y Cd or BILL
Personal abuse is not true argument, and
use the word 'job" because unless there
was one covered uD in the bill referred to,
by which in all probability the doctor and
those Of his Tx would derive pecuniary
benefit at the expense Of the public, he
would not have resorted to abuse Of myself
as an argument in support OF his measure.
It is always a suspicious circumstance when
the CT derant author OF such measure gets
into passion and loses his head at the ex-
perience Of we'll founded apprehension Of
danger to his pet scheme-danger OF
exposition is the danger alluded to. And
under such circumstances, would not
notice him or bis article, but for the optn-
ion expressed by some friends that silence
on my part mig1t be construed into an ad-
mission of the correctness OF that part OF
his illusions, which alone bears upon my
objections to his scheme. l will, however,
here say that | have never told him In con-
versatiOa anything in conflict with my pub
lished article. l have already published
nv reasons for opposing his scheme, and
see no use IN repeating them. The public
can Judge for itself whether they are well
founded or not.
At the same time / must say that taxation
ought to be based upon the principle Of
benefit conferred upon the tax payer by the
object for which he is taxed, and that in
this instance the object (confessedlv) Is the
public health of the city OF Savannah. I axe
any one street in the city where the build
ings vary in size and value, and you will find
a vast difference OF adjoining properties.
Under DR.. Falligsnt's pet, or pit, the
owner Of a house worth $4,000, and which
rents for 81 900 per annum, would pay only
as much for the benefit conferred upon that
$4,000 worth of property as the adjoining
lot holder whose house is worth only two
thousand dollars and which rents for two
hut dred dollars per year. 10 other words,
taxation would not be Gd UGlOrefn, or accord
ing to the value protected by the public,
but would be uDj let to the poor man, snd
would tend to protect the rich at the ex-
pense OF the poor. 1t is no reply to say
that the poor man may build a ten
thousand dollar house upon his lot,
for generally the poor have not the
money for such purpose, and II compelled
by such legislation to do so, would have to
sell out to the capitalists, as is usual In such
cases, at a sacrifice. AS well might DR..
Falligant claim that each lot according to
frontage, instead Of valuH, ought to pay for
the water used upon the premises. Yet we
know that the water works OF the city is
managed upon a different basis-according
to value and not by frontage. AS we'll might
he also claim that for general purposes of
taxation, frontage and not value should be
the basis of tax 4tion.
Such was not the argument used when ar
appropriation was obtained from the q enc
raj Assembly to drain Springfield Plantation
after the yellow fever epidemic Of 1876
and such an argument would not be used by
any informed man advocating public benefit.

Yesterday morning about half past nine
O'Clock q large mule attached to q drsy
loaded with kegs became frightened on
Bryan street, near Lincoln, and started off
on 8 gaTop. The driver managed to retain
his seat, but lost control Of the animal. In
front OF s residence on Bryan street, near
Abercorn, was standing the buggy OF DR..
Frank T. Lincoln, who was in the house at
tending a patient. The drsy in
passing struck one OF the wheels of
the buggy, completely demOsishing it,
frightening the horse and starting him OF.
TIE runaway mule kept on up Bryan street,
and the kegs were scattered around IN every
direction, whilst DR.. LincOln's horse, with
the damaged buggy, rushed around the
square and turned into Congress street, and
was stopped at the corner Of Aber-
corn, BY which time the buggy was
pretty Thoroughly used up. The festive
mule, the cause OF all this excitement
and damage, was finally hauled up on the
other side Of Drayton street, and the driver,
who was thoroughly disguised with the
situation, returned over the route, picking
up the kegs The double runaway created
quite sensation 10 the neighbOrhOOd, and
brought out a large crowd OF people.
