A Letter from Hon. Oden Bowie.

Ex-Gov. Bowie has written for publication
the following letter on the subject OF the pro-
posed change in tie tax law:
Baltimore, Feb. 5rd, 1874
Dear Sir
regret that you doubt 'the wisdom OF 'he
amendment to she County rreisurer'S La"
offered in lie Senate by Senator Bowie.
81 think mere III ature ref ection Will SATISFY
YOU that the proposed change Is good one
You will admit that all laws--especlaliy TAX
laws-should be made as little onerous as
possible to the people.
II was favorably impressed with the advisa-
biliy Of the change Of date by the advertise
me ITS Of sales of property for noli-payhehI Vi
t txes in the very issue of the paper IN "hieh
YOU '.harcly see the wisdom OF this ameiiu-
ment.' Oue gentleman for instance 1rlehd
of mine whose taxes were nearly Sloo, couiu
aud ou!d, l know, have paid on the ISL OF
Sat mber from then recent sales OF produce
aud fruit, but could not raise the money ~
the time now fixed by the law, not having
since been called upon he carelessly allowed
MS taxes u run uHpdiu UNI uC "oo S''.>
by the advertis ment of his property.
sThe present. d t. for the payment OF the
county t ,xes is one of the most lnconVehleh'
for farmers as few have marketed their t0bac-
co. September I,t woul be much more coll
venient. as ri owing more time for the sales OF
tobacco; and the wheat crop can easily be got
ten into market by that date to supply the
where with all for the payment of taxes.
II am informed by some commission agents
in Baltimore, that many who have complied
with the law, and paid their taxes, have only
been al /, to do so by advances made to them
by their agents, and at very great fnconve-
nience sometimes, as comparatively very little
produce has been marketed, and the demand
for advances conse quen'ly quite general.
The law is certainly good one, except as
regards the period for payment. Because Of
The dale of payment a number Of our taxpay-
ers urge its repeal, and especial because Of
the high rate of interest charged after default
in pay menl; aud which some claim to be lille
gal, because of the usurious rate
OF one per cent. per month. Had mol
the date better be changed for the convenience
of taxpayers than to have the repeal of the
law-if good one-even agitated.
"Another reason for the September date is
that the State tax is then payable with a dis
count, and the two paymei IS could be made
at tie same time with greater convenience to
the Treasurer and taxpayers"
sit may be added further that, in some of
raj ing are extensively carried on, tax payers
wonld find it more convenient after the sale
of their flu t. and vegetables in August to
meet their OIL gations."
Yours Trnly,
ODEN BOWIE.

sha~-'.Mikado, Tonight.
The charming opera. ..Said Pasha,-
was given its first presentation by
the Houck Opera company at Har-
per's theatre last evening. The
opera has been heard in Rock Island
before. but on the whole, never bet
ter. The choruses, with the compa-
ny's own orchestral accompaniment,
we're rich and given with splendid
precision and volume. The costumes
were tasty and elegant throughout,
having the appearance OF newness
and brightness. Individually, the
composition Of the company is not
strong. Miss Mertie Houck is not a
glittering star in the operate firma-
ment. Her Balah Sojoh was ideal in
appearance, but we will not do her
the unkindness OF further comment.
F.. l.. Graves Said Pasha was typic al
in all respects. Frank Ridsdole's
Hassen Bey was faultless, but Alonzo
Hatch's Terano was painful. In
stead of the brusk Mexican, Mr..
Hatch's Interpretation was exceeding
ly etrcminate. His voice had been
left in Moline and he was unable TO
bring it this side of Brooks crossing,
and the audience was given the i'm
preston of photographic transmits
sion rather than the clear impetuous
tone that should attach to the role.
Dan Packard as Hadad and his insep-
arabic Hockey in the person of John
Henderson, looked after the comedy
characters and did them we'll.
{. W. Philips Rajah was listlcss.
Miss Goldie Rinehart as Alti, was the
ideal queen of Altara, indeed. She
is possessed of rare genius. a sweet
modulated voice, which is indeed a
feature of the company's entertain
ments. Marion Chester's Serena was
fair. and the others in the cast were
fully up to the average. Scott Law

whistling solos. The company gave
