cafes. It was in furthcrauce Of this scheme
tina! Mr.. Mason pressed the creation Of q
Tax Commission. The ISrgLLtGEScEE,
having knowledge Of MIR. Mason'B object,
favored tho Commission; because 1t is
notorious that much property is escaping
its aharc OF taxation, and because We did
not appieheni that Nj. Mason would be
able to hand over this State to Virginia's
creditors on terms to suit him and them.
There il now no reason Tor disquietudo on
this score. Mr.. Mason had tho good Tor
tune TO BIO made the head Of the Tax Com
mission. Tho 1NrgLLluEScEn did not favor
this appointment, and, to be- frank, was
not consulted about it by the appointing
poser.
1t was Mr. Masons intention to use the
Tax Commission fo- the purposes Of the
certificate syndicate. and that is what he
is doing now. His pamphle! Ia part Of his
general campaign, and whoever reaGsi it mist

securities and are DESTROYS Of realizing on

cause and trying to get both legs into the
jury box. ..
The interstate debt question ought to
be settled. What We owe, if anything,
ought to be asceItained, 80 that we may
arrange to pay it. But it has been impoasi.
bic to force Virginia to an accounting, and
30 tie matter has stood. To-day We hear
no voice from Virginia. She does not ask
us to meet her in m effort to settle. We
hear ONLY from her creditors.

THE LATE CAPTAIN JERRY RoBB.-The
death of Captain Jerry Kobb, which oc.
cured Monday in Jacksons Creek, about
seventy miles down the river, was men-
toned in yesterdays GAZETTE. His deaf II
was caused by iDhammatory rheumatism,
superinduced By exposure in watching h'@
oyster beds which had been raided several
times by negro thieves. The deceased was
one of the best known watermen IN TINS
vicinity, having been engaged 10 hshins'
cunning. and oystering on the Potomac Tor
wears. In the early part of the year OF
1866 Captain Robb performed daring
feat in saving small boy from drown
inc which gave him a notoriety which
lasted throug the remainder OF ms
life and will ever be associated with
HIS memory. A tremendous current was
in the river, sweeping everything along
in ito course, and in the vicinity of the
Long Bridge the waters rushed with mad
danipp force. The deceased happened TO be
on that structure at the time with scores OF
others watching the havoc which was DelnS
wrought, when u youth made lnlssttp,
and was hurled in he twinkling Of an eye,
into the see;Ling cauldron. shrek went
M from the bSslander>, but none Venttlfeo
to attempt to rescue the unfortunate hoy,
until CAPT. Robb, who witnessed his predlc-
ament, almost in the face OF what seemed
tn he certain death cast skin through the
draw into the water, and unhesltatlpSly
leaned into the same, while those VINO LOOK
cd on waited every second to see both boat
and occupant engulphed and destroyed.
After considerable difficulty and with immi-
nent danger to his own life, he succeeded
in crashing the boy before the latter had
sunk for the last time. A sum of money
was subscribed for Capt. Robb as testimo-
NAL for this courageous act, which he, how
ever, refused to accept. One OF those little
incidents which so often prove to be turn
inc points in our lives is recorded OF the
deceased On one occasion, about ten years
ago, Capt. Robb, who had been for several
DAYS having a convivial time with some
friends. found himself out of funds and ap.
plied to the keeper of a restaurant, one
whom he had often befriended, for the loan
often dollars. The barkeeper, judging that
it was about time the captain was bringing
his frolic to close, through the best oi
motives. refused TO make the loan. Rohb,
who was Of sensitive disposition, 1elt SO
hurt at this refusal, that he registered a
vow to abstain from the use OF stlmulan's
during the remainder of his life, which
there is every reason to believe he kept. HIS
remains were brought to this city on the
tug boat Comet last night, and his funeral
will take Lace from his late residence on
Friday afternoon He leaves a widow, but
no children, and his estate is valued at be-
tween 500, 900 and $4,000.

The WEATHER AND THE RlYER.-Snow

continued for stme hours, again covering
the face Of the earth with mantle OF white.
The temperature rose, however, and though
cloudy the day was not so disagreeable as
yesterday. There is hardly any change IL
tie condition of the ice in the river since
yesterday, and navigation is but little inter-
fered with. An oyster vessel sailed up as
far as Fora Foote this morning and from
there was towet to this city by tug. The
iower river steamers and the Washington
ferry boats are making their regular trips
without difficulty. The Philadel phia steam

benefit of one days rest from their business

houses will be closed; ehere will ne no no

not meet the banks will all be closed the
