NEW YORK, Feb. 2S-The United
States mail steamship Valencia, on
her return trip from the Spanish
main to New York, was fired upon
by the Dutch garrison stationed at
the fort on the island of Curacao
The Valencia arrived yesterday.
Consul Beach took the affidavits of
all the officers and passengers ON the
Valencia, and will present them at
Washington. At the Office of the
company the story was ridiculed. 1t
was not believed that the cannon
was aimed intentionally at the ship.
Much indignation is expressed
among merchants and others doing
business in the West Indies at the
insult. A prominent Wall street
said: Ny business brings
me into contact with many persons,
and there seems to be deep dissatis-
faction with the government that it
csps0I make its flag respected among
other nations. No one that / have
heard bears any luminosity against
the Dutch, for we know them to be
neither bad tempered nor hasty. We
feel that our flag is not expected as
flags of other nations are, there is

The charter of our city
should be so framed as to per-
NIT the Common Council to
have more latitude. Such mat
tiers as taxing Chinese wash
houses and all that class of
business should come under
the head of town ordinances.
There seems to be an incon-
grulty some where that per-
mits the Common Council to
tax other business and lay ex-
traordinary tax on theatres,
etc, and yet does not give
them powor to tax a wash
house, for which purpose a bill
has been introduced in the
Legislature. We see but very
little use of charter at all if
it is necessary to go to the Leg
isIature with each of our little

By a note from the Hon. A. D

at the same fees he now receives fol
disbursing the funds Of county has
been so framed as not 10 take effect
until the expiration of the terms of
present incumbents, 1t was found
that it could not be, passed to take
effect at once, hence the modification
Which is all very proper at any rate,
for in seeking the Offices and accept
ing them the present officers sought
o and agree to fulfill certain con-
tracts with the people which con-
tract should remain inviolate both
on the part Of the officers and people.
The bill which we publish today
has been introduced to remedy the
defects temporarily or till the bill
mentioned shall come into force. a
bill has been introduced in the
Council from the Judiciary Com
mittee which makes a general re-
in the fees of all officials.
