Trouble Among Tailors.

In the Superior Court, yesterday, Thomas P.
Egan began suit for settlement against Edward
G. Egan and Atwater j. Treat. He states that
he was in their employ as cutter in their tailor
ing establishment from Feb. II, 1854, to like
date this year A verbal agreement existed
to the effect that the plaintiff should be sup
piled with shop room and conveniences, as well
as all material while he gave in re-
turn his skill and experience as q
cutter They were to pay him, he alleges, %
per cent. of the net profits, and on this account
he claims $1,000 as balance due. Thomas
Eean says he mas often requested defendants to
settle, but they refused, and would not allow
him to inspect the books, which are under their
control. He asks the court to order them to
produce in court the books and accounts, and to
appoint an expert to examine them. He suggests
in his complaint William H. Harrison for that
work: and also asks that he, or whoever may be
appointed shall report the result of his examina-
ton or before the trial.

ScANT TINE FOR EQUALIzING.
Need Of a New Law-Aggregate Valuations in
the Different Townships.

The county board of equalization has already
utilized eleven days of the fifteen allowed it by
law, and there is doubt if its being able to get
through the great amount of business awaiting
its attention However, there is question of
whether the board cannot extend its time le-
gally fifteen days more But attorneys
differ on this point those deny
ing it holding that If the eoualizers
do SO there is danger of any act performed by
them in such special session going for naught
The eleven days have been entirely devoted to
the lists of corporations and large property
holders. This work they have not completed,
although the schedule has been gone through.
1t is the purpose to look into these valuations
again, and revise some additions to the valua-
tons. If the board pays as strict attention to
the second examination of these lists as it
did to the first, it will require more than four
days to finish it. While it is doing
this, if the fifteen days sitting
is the only one that can be legally maintained,
complaints must also be heard from realestate
owners. This body with grievances is numer-
Gus, for it is only here and there that one APP
pears satisfied with the reappraised values. Even
then the satisfied persons may have a matter of
minor detail 10 correct which the Board of
equalization alone can DO. In ADDITION to TINS
work, the thousands Of the ordinary personal
lists wait attention. There is enough work to
keep the board active, with or without pay, for
half year or more This difficulty suggests
new law relating to equalization.
Yesterday the board had short session. But
little attention was paid to anything except get
ting the aggregate valuations of all the town
ships in proper order for consideration on Tues
day. AS some of the assessors failed to make
their footings, and as the Center township values
outside of the city could only be had

Panorama Of the Battle of Gettvsburp,

The large panorama of the battle of Gettys-

good deal of attention, and has merited more, as
it really is q work that will repay visit and
close inspection. The effect is very good, and
an accurate idea is given of that celebrated bat
tie field, one of the most sanguinary of the late
war. The spectator is placed right in the center
of the field, and is afforded view of it's princi-
pal points for distance of ten miles 10 every
direction. The effect is startingly realistic and
no one should fail to go and see it Il represents
the conflict just as it appeared, and the sight
once seen will not soon be forgotten. It is shown

receipts go to the benefit of the local Grand

Small DR. Frazer says: This is sort Of work
that was sorely needed, and no ono who appre-
ciates the value and difficulty of il will be dis
posed to pass q severe censure on the Salvation
Army for any eccenircities or vuiearisms Of Ian
guage and manner which may have been induced
By this glowing zeal to save the very outcas.s of
society" In commenting still further, he says
that 1.-THE swing Of English opinion is rather
more favorable to the Salvation Army than it
was few years ago Yet these people who
think more of propriety than of heaven and
hell, cannot sufficiently indicate their contempt
for fanatics who drag religion through the streets
and announce il by tuck of drum while wicked
people hate the plain-speaking about sin, and
some religious people themselves held under
spirit of bondage, are shocked at the presump-
ton which makes fun Of salvation" This is all
true, but at the sane time DIR. Frazer does not
forget to point out the failings and faults of the
'Salyationists.p And, even So while we cannot
but admire the zeal, and earnestness, and devo-
ton OF Messrs Jones and Small, it does seem
pity that men of such marked ability should re-
sort to the use of language which is simply in
defensible. They are at times coarse harsh,
shocking, and even vulgar. They don't know
this; they think otherwise They even go so far
as to quote the words and example of Jesus
Christ in defense of their use of slang. This is
Sam Jones's chief defect in the eyes of his best
friends. They can see it. though he is blind to
It, and, while 1t is not an objectionable offense,
the sooner Sam Jones abandons it the better
