The amendment above quoted offered by Massachusetts was designed to limit this power, and a similar amendment was proposed by eight or nine of the Chief States including the States of New York, Virginia, South Carolina and Massachusetts as above shown. That the ratification of the Constitution by these States, was regarded as in some senson conditional one, is shown by the fact that in the first session of tho first Congress held under the Constitution, the chief amendments suggested by the States named were adopted, and among these amendments were CHANGE OF FIRM, Owing to the recent dissolution and ro of onr Firm, wo dosiro to roal'zo ot onoe upon our SUPERB STOCK of MEN'S AND BOYS' CLOTUINR AND FURNISHING GOODS.

A great musical danger is impending. Tho opora a la subscription is upon us, and tho Heights, with its already filled quota, is In a high stato of excitement Last evening, at tho Assombly room of tho Acid emy, about 05 gentlomon of C5 and under, congregated to indulge in a rafflo for oholeo seats for the opora season in Lowbor's Lyrlo Lottery. The Interesting sorviees ad vertiBcd to begin at seven o'clock, wero inaugurated at tho exact mlnuto by E. J. Lowbor, Esq who called "time" and immediotely logon to read the list of sub.

scribers, 161 in nuhibor. Tttls occuplol ten minutes, and when it had boon ooncludod, the starillng discovery was made that no tickota had beon prepared for tho wheel, Tbero stood the whoel that droadod instrument which has tortured our nerves for about two years under the administrations of Provost Marshals Grogory and Fowler of tho Third CongrosBionol district. But "no cards." Mr. A. Wior, tho copahlo Janitor of tho Academy, who subsequently actod as Assistant Master of Ceremonies, flew down stairs, and spoodlly roturnod with a sufficiency of cards which were quickly marked ond deposited in tho whoel.

Mr, E. J. Lowber thon onnounccd that whon tho last drawing took place many wero dissatisfied bocauso their names did not como out first. Ho had just conceived a plan which he thought would obviate all this if caoh gentleman present would moke up bis mind that his would bo tbo last namo out of tho wheel all but one would be pleasantly disappointed. A gentleman whose name comes early in tho alphabet moved that tho drawing proceed in alphabotlcal ordor.

Another who claims an initial among thoW'sorT's, protested that ho could not seo it much, Littlo Miss Emily A. Wier, aged twolvo ycats, then ap pearcd upon the Btand, having beon deputed to draw tho numbers from tho wheol. On boing askod if sho was blind, she replied, "no, not blind, but I don't ohe.it." The excitement began to incrcaso as tho 181 cards wore placed in tho wheel, Mr. L. B.

Wyman was appointed crier, to announco oudibly the numbers as drawn, when eonio individual with a dry throat suggested that tho owner of the flrBt drawn number treat. This appoared distasteful those present wero not as willing to "troat" as Abo Lincoln and JeffDavis aro reported to bo, ovon an the basis of a first drawn number. Mr. Wyman puta motion, that as Mr. Lowbor had boen very activo in getting up this operatic subscription enterprise, ho bo allowed to select his soatsprovlous to tho drawing.

Carried. Mr. Lowber modestly Belcotcd four of tho best balcony seats ho having occupied them at tho last opora. They wero announced an balcony 33, 21, 25 and 30. A further announcement that Marotzek had generously opened his heart to tho extent of throe Beats to tho entlro press delegation was made, and right hand seats balcony 415, 410 and 417 set opart for tho critics.

Tho last Bhako of the wheel then was given; all present, thoso who appeared In tho full dross of hats, overcoats, canes and Bcgara and othors, sitting breathless tho while. The first number, 181, Georgo Langdon, was selected by a friend, balcony 13 and 14. As tho lucky first out was not present tho "treat" did not como off. Tbo following numbors then woro drawn, and seats selected while a sort of and XX spotted fevor with greenback accompaniments, provailed tj tho extout of almost an epidemio in tho vicinity of Lowber's tablo. 89, E.

Tho littlo trap door In tho wheel, not being Bufiloicntly fastened when it reached tho nadir of its revolution, out rushed an avalanche of numbers, quite too largo for tho sonorous voiced Wyman to attempt to announco. Had Marotzek been there ho would probably havo bestowed a vigorous decato movement of his baton upou somo elovatod head.

But ho was not, so tho cards typical ot Boated fato for tho six operas, tho first of whioh occurs on Thursdoy ovening next, wero re deposited and tho drawing proceeded 64, Joseph M. Grconwoo'd, 01, 02, 03. 102, Otto Muller, balcony 7, 8. V28, CyruB P. Smith, 473, 474, 475.

Tho crowd cheered as tho great Union manager ferrlod himself across to tho buslnees portion of tho loim. "Ah," sold tho sorrowful crier of tho court, "wo kopt company in tbo wheol a long timo last season; now ycu'vo parted company." I know wo did, Wyman, but I didn't liko tie company." "Funny," whisporod a littlo ohap, who was vigorously struggling to catch up with tho fiery lend of a n'importe Havana from Connecticut, "let's give Smith a feiry ticket;" whoroat soveral laughed. Emily again plunged hor littlo baud in ani drew out: 27, William Barton, 323, 324. 30, Charles ChrlBtmas; not present; so Christmas was passed quietly. S3, L.

A case will come before the Supreme Court at its next tcim, whioh promises to give tho lovers of scandal in this goodly city and in all pious places like tho City of Churches (hero is a goodly number of thorn a view of domestic infelicity and inconceivable wickedness, rarely seen under similar clroumstanoes. The suit is brought by a gentleman woll known in this com a fair looking, robust and good naturod individual, whom we shall call Mr, being as the second letter in tbo olphabot, tho moBt available, tho Individual In queBtion being tho second horso in tho race, whioh is now about to fetch up in tho Supreme Court. Some twelvo years Binco, Mr. whilo on a visit to one of tho rural retreats on Long Island, where ohlld.

llko innocence reigns SHprome, "and vice nover showed his hideous form," ho became acquainted with the present Mrs. B. then, a charming girl, pure as tho air of her ccuulry homo, and innocent and fresh as the unplucked roEe. It is needless to say that Mr. was charmed with this lovely vision of youth, innocence and beauty, as sho appoared to him in contrast with the precocious beauties of tho city, and llko a sensible as he was, bo resolved to transplant tho beauteous flower to Brooklyn When Mr.

B. mado up hla mind to do a thing, it was' as good as done, and in about a month afterwards bo was a benedict and ho and his youthful brido removed to Brooklyn, where, up to last summer, they lived togother in a state of the most outwardly enviable felicity. Mr. B. follows a bUBjnees which keeps him about three fourths of his time away from home at regular intervals, but these in.

tervals of absence only lent additional zost to tho happi. nees of Mr. and Mrs. B. when thoy wore together, for on Mr.

periodical returns to bis domestic hoarth ho always found his loved Mrs. radiant and bright, and ever waiting to receive the absent ono with open arms, and no suspicion that there wsb ought amiss in his domestic temple ever crossed his mind. Mrs, had oiten expressed a wish to visit Europe, and in Sep. tember, last, Bomo friends of hers being aboui to cross tho Atlantic, she poreuadod Mr, B. to allow her to accompany them, and alter bidding Mr.

B. a mos affectionate farewoll oho left, and as Mr. B. turned towards his lonely home a melancholy presontiment evil crossed his mind which ho could not shako off, and a few days afterwards tho wholo fearful truth burst upon bim, Bomo of his friends, hearing of Mrs. B's departure, and thinking she had eloped, came to console Mr.

and toldhim a history of Mrs. B's conduct during his periodical absence, which mado that worthy man's hair Btand perpendicularly on his oranium. For a number of years, according to their story, tho puro gold of Mrs. B's innocence had vanished and nothing was left but tho glitter which covered tho dross of sin. Theso friends told Mr.

that Mrs. B. did not "miss him at homo" during his periodical absences, as muoh as she pietcnded to, but that, in fact, sho consoled hor self in hiJ absence by tho presence of a young dentist who resided in tho samo house, and who regularly, as Boon as the unsuspecting Mr, B. left, took possession of his apartments and his wifo until his return. In addition to the dentist, soveral other parties were mentioned to Mr.

with which Mrs. B. was on terms of more than proper Intimacy. Mr. B.mado enquiries and found afough to satisfy him that ho had Indeed for some years been living in a "fool's paradise," and ho immediately brought tho present action for divorce, Tho most curious part of tho story yet romalns, Mrs.

B. had a companion, a young lady, who accompanied her in many of her oioursions; a well known and prominent member of a certain church in this city, and eBteemod as a model of piety and religion, Mr. always felt safe when Mis. was in company with this pions youDg person. Judge then of his astonishment when Mrs.

lawyer bad been served with tho summons and complaint iu the case, he received a few days sinco a copy of tho answer to tho complaint, in which Mrs. boldly charges Mr. and tho pious young person aforesaid with tho commission of numerous acts of adultery during her absence in Europe; in fact, Mr. is charged with tho samo effenco with which ho charges Mrs, that of taking this fom inlne pillar ot the church to bis bed and board during tho temporary absence of Mrs. B.

Tho details of the case when brought before tho court promise to involvo a large number of "seemingly virtuous porsons" who now revel in tho odor of Binotity.

The recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States referred to at the meeting of taipayora in tho Eleventh Ward last ovoning will result in Now York City having to refund about throe millions of dollars to the various Banks and Insurance Companies, which amount must be added to the tax levy for the present year. It will bo remombored that on tho 23th of Fobruary, 1862, an act was passed by Congross exempting United States Bonds from taxation, and, availing themselves of the provisions of this law, tho city banks and insuraneo companies refused to pay tho demands of the Tax Commissioners for the assessment on such portion of thoir capital as was invested in theso securities. In tho meantime, tho Board of Supervisors applied to the Legislature for an act specially empowering them to lovy tax on tho capital of Banks and Insur.

ance Companies, and a bill to that effect having been passed by tho Legislature, a number of the Banks and Insurance Companies camo forward and paid tho Tax Commissioner's demands. Twenty Banks howover, and fifteen Insurance CompaniOB porsistod in roluslng payment, and carried thoir case to tho Court of Appoals. Tho other City Banks and Insurance Companies had iu the meantime settlod tho Tax Commissioner's claims against them, some of them doing so under protest, and ehortly afterward tho Court of Appeals rendorod a decis Blon in favor of tho Tax Commissioners. Last year no forcible levies wero made, the Banks and Insnranco Companies paying up promptly, but many of them handing in protests at the samo time. Tho wholo amount oi taxes thus collected during 1803 64 was about 2,600,000.

By a recent decision of tho Supremo Court of tho United States tho decision of tho SUto Courts are set aside. The consequence is that tho olty will havo to return all amounts assessed on United Slates bonds, whether belonging to Banks, Insurance Companies or individuals. In the cobs of tho Bsnks and Insuraneo Companies, interest will no doubt bo demanded and thoso on phom forcible levies were mado, will probably bring in heavy bills of cosfs. The Turkish Bath. It is not generally known perhaps that wo now havo in our city the flrBt and only Turkish Bath established in this country.

Within the past six years, through tho efforts of the well known Dr. Bartor of Ireland, tho Turkish Bath has beon extensively introduced into Great Britain, not only as a great luxury, but for its valuablo remedial advantages in disoaso, especially In all diseases of tho skin and tho lungs. The Bystem of tho Turkish bath la not a new one, but a cleansing process which has been in vogue in tho nations of the East for thousands of years. It is only of late years that it has been practically demonstrated to bo one of tho most valuable and effective remedial agents at presont known to exist. With all all our boasted advantages of education, we, as a people, are lamentably Ignorant on the Eubject of Physiology, and tho application of ita rules to the preservation of health; and especially Is this ignorance apparent In regard to tho vital (unctions of tho skin, and tho important influence it exerts on the general condition of the body.

The experiments made by tho medical faculty in the English Colleges havo reoently shown thai in tho healthy aotion of tho funotlons of tho skin lays the foundation of the general health of the body, and that to grossly neglect the skin is to subject us to the fertile cause of half the diseases which now swell tho bills of mortality to suoh an extent. Tho subject of the Turkish Baths, and their advantages ob a means of preserving health and removing dlseaso.ls ono thatrequlres more space th an wo can at present devote to it; Buffloe l' to say that the tlmo will come whon a oity or town in the Union would far better bo iritho ot Its physician or minister than without Its Turkish Bath, cleanliness being as necessary to good morals as it Is to health. Moke Blundering. New York is not the only State that Fry has blundered with. The peoplo of Bhode Island are disgusted.

Gov. Smith has issuod his proclamation, declaring the quota of tho State to bo filled, and tho Legislature formally thanked him for hla efforts, whereupon it appears that there is a deflcioncy alter all, and a large one at that, Tho Eastern Dis'rtct is short SM, and tho Western 555, according to tho Provost Marshal General's mysterious figurinj. Now suppose the bookkeeper ol any woll regulated establishment should make out his bill and toko a receipt in full from half a dozen individuals, and a month or more after find several items not inoludod in tho bill, how long do you suppose his employers would keep him? Just as long as they would be in finding a man to take his plaee. The President should act llko a business man and let this Fry go beforo the country gets Into a worso stew. Gbound Hoo Dai.

TIIDBSDAY EVENING. FEB This Taper has the Larscst Circulation of any Evening Paper published ia tUo CnitcdStntes. Its valne as an Advertising Medium, is thcrctore apparent. The Debate on the Constitutional Amendment. We publish on the first pngo of to (tay's is tiio Mr.

Knlbfleisch's speech on the proposition, to amend the Constitution of the United States, so as to provide for tho abolition of slavery the States in which the institution of negro slavery is still retained. Mr. Kalb fleisch gives at length his rSasons forvoting against the amendment among theso reasons not one wo think will bo found incompatible with an earnest desire for tho wolfare of his country. Keeping before him the reunion of the States as the first of political blessings, believing that object once secured every other reform which good men may hope for will follow in good time Mr. KalbQoisch cast his vote against Iho amendment, mainly because in his opinion it may stand in tho way of the accomplishment of tho purpose nearest to the heart of the vast majority of tho people.

Tho eardinaLpHMiples of the great poHtiaL Sttics into which tho people of tho aro divided, were directly at issuo in tho question which has just boon decided. The radicals who now control the councils and shopo tho policy of tho Republican party, set before themselves tho abolition of slavery in the States as the aim and end of their organization for political purposes. To secure tho fulfillment of their wishes they were willing nt any time within the past twenty years to sacrifice the Union. No effort was spared by the anti slavery party of tho country, to woakon the attachment of tho people for the Union. To this end the peoplo of the South were denounced in language which would be considered discourteous and insulting towards peoplo of foreign nations, and which was entirely incompatible with any idea of a common citizenship betwoon tho peoplo of tho two sections.

The value of the South to the Union was constantly belittled. Mr. Greeley proved to his own satisfaction that while it was, morally, disgrace to be associated under common government with slave holding States, the connection between tho two sections was, materially, a positive disadvantage to the North. Ono gentleman, high in the councils of the Republican party, was prepared, under this or that circumstance, "to let the Union slide." Other influential men, on the same side, echoed this sentiment, but thoy were not sure that they would be able "to kick tho South out of tho Union." Instead of following the advice of Washington in cherishing "a cordial, habitual, and unswerve able attachment to the Union," and "indig "nantly frowning upon tho first dawning of "every attempt to alienate any portion of our "eountiy from the rest, or to enfeeble tho sacred "ties which liuk together tho various parts," all the efforts of the anti slavery loaders were directed to proving how advantageously the Union might bo dispensed with. With the Democratic party it was otherwise; party interest and enlightouod patriotism combinod to ronder its attachment to tho Union immutable.

All its principles, all its great measuros of public policy, contemplated a united country. Fashioned for tho Union, its policy could never be made to fit a section. With the one party, the abolition of slavery was tho main purpose; with the other, tho maintenance of the Union. The one party achieves full and complete victory in the abolition of slavery; the other holds the question of Blavory subordinate to the restoration of the Union. The abolition of slavery is not denied to be a good thing in itself, said the Democrats in Congress, with a solitary exception; but, desirable as it is, to attempt to abolish slavery, even the possibility of restoring the union is worth more to us? In the debate upon this important question in Congress thore seems to have been no agreement between tho party in the minority.

Vhile the advantage in the debato was so clearly with them, that tho Republican journals complained of their representatives for not pressing a vote without debate, much of the strength of the minority was lost in contentions with one another. Fernando Wood, of New York, for instance, attomptod to justify slavery per se, and every one of his associates took issue with him; while Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, claimed that the proposition was not an amendment but an oveiturning of her constitution, his colleague, Mr. Cox, spent two hours in proving tliat Mr. Pendleton was altogether in the wrong, while holding that it was inexpedient to make a change at this time.

Mr. Kalbfieisoh, while apparently agreeing with Mr Pendleton, but briefly touchos on tho point of the power under tho Constitution to make the amendment, and argues against it mainly on tho ground of expediency. In abondoning the position taken by Mr. Pendleton and endorsed by Mr. Kalbfleisch, the minority, in our opinion, gave up the only ground they eould havo f.ucccssfully held against the assaults of a majority who had a right to differ on tho question of expediency, and who had made up thoir minds on that point.

It is well known that, in tho Cenvention which adopted the Constitution, it was feared that the clause which provided for amendments of tho Constitution might bo used for tho subversion of rights which the States supposed thoy were reserving to themselves. Gonoral Pinckney, of South Carolina, "reminded the "Convention that if tho Committee "should fail to insert some seourity "to tho Southern States against an "emancipation of slaves and taxes on imports, "he should be bound by his duty to his State to vote against it." Mr. Sherman, of Connecticut, was opposed to tho clause as it Btands, providing lor amendments to the Constitution, because three fourths of tho States might do things inimical to tho rights of particlar States, or deprive them altogether of their equality within the Union. Mr, Sherman, in the Convention, moved that no State under this amendment "shall, without its consent, be affected in its internal policy, or bo deprived of its equal suffrage in tho Sonate." Failing in securing this provision, Mr. Sherman moved to stnko out altogether tho clause providing for amending tho Constitution.

In this ho also failed, Mr. Madison contending that imperfections might bo found in the workings of the Constitution which it would be desirable to remedy. But the uneasiness which the clause providing for tho amendment of tho Constitution created, did not subside here. When tho subject went back to the States, it again came up In the convention which ratifiod tho Constitution in Massachusetts, thoro was much opposition, and at first a majority against ratification. Tho Constitution wa3 finally ratified, but tho convention declared that in its opinion, "certain amendments and "alterations wore necessary to remove tho'fears "and quiet the apprehensions of many of tho "good peoplo of that Common wealth." Tho first amendment commnded by Massachusetts, reads as follows: "That it bo deolared tuat all powers not oipresely delegated by tho Constitution, should bo rcsorrea to too Kjenl Bitten to bo by them exorcised," Iq.

New York, Virginia, South Carolina, Maryland and indeed in nearly every one of the Western States there was great opposition to the adoption of tho Constitution and mainly the following restrictions upon the powers of tho general government; "Art, 9. Tho enumeration, in the Constitution, of certain rights Bhall not bo construed to disparage others retained by tho people; "Art. 10. The powers not delegated to tho united States by tho Constitution, nor prohibited by it to tho States, aro reserved to tho States respectively or to tho people." That tho powor over the institution of Slavery was reserved to tho States, no fair man questions. At the time the Constitution was formed any prevarication in conceding this point would haVe loftus no Union either to preserve or to destroy.

The amendments which wo have quotod, and which Massachusetts and South Carolina alike deemed essential for their safety, was designed to protect the States individually, Ironi just such interference as is now proposed. Mr. Kalbfleisch in his sryroeirputs this point very forcibly Wbilo I have argued, sir, against this measure as if it were in truth on "amendment" to tho Constitution, I regard it as sabvorsivo of the entire spirit of that instrument. Wo havo been warned by tho "Father of his Vmntrv" to discountenance irrecular opposition to the Constitution, "and at the same timo, to mist with care "the jpin'f of innovation upon its principles, "howcur specious the pretexts." Ono method "of assault ho lelis us, sir, may ba to "effect in the forma of tho Constitution, altera "UonB which will impair the energy of tho system, and "thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown." These, sir, aro words of prophetic warning, undor "specious pretexts" of amending the Constitution, you desiro to make it tho instrument of depriving men of vested righto and to lento behind you a precedentwhich, if followed, will leavo overy right, civil or religious, which the minority possesses at tho will of tho mijorlty. When tho Constitution went into oporation there were twelvo slave States, and but ono free State.

It was within tho power of tho twelvo slave States to force slavery on Massachusetts in tho same way as you pro poso to force abolition on the South. Would Massachusetts, think you, have Bubmltted to so gross a perversion of tho compact sho had just ontcrod into? Did she fight against England for seron years for the right to manago her own affairs only to transfer that right to another authority against which sho bad no legal safeguard. Sir, Massachusetts might have been left a wilderness, but this right could not htve been wrested from her peoplo. Do you propose to forco from South Caiolina, men of Massachusetts, what you would have yielded only with your lives? For good or evil, this question is beyond discussion. Those who behove that the existence of the Democratic party was bound up in slavery will now see thoir mistake.

While the rights of the States are essential to tho maintenance of our Government, while individual liberty is deemed to be worth maintaining, and whilo Republican and centralized, consolidated powor shall remain antagonastio systems, the principles of the Demooratic party will find defenders, and its mission end only with the lifo of our Republican system of Government. The Draft. Governor Fenton has published an address to the people of the State of New York in relation to his efforts to have the quota of this State more equitably apportioned, The Governor states that, believing the first apportionment to have been made on an erroneous basis, ho despatched one of his military aids to Washington. This mission was not only unsuccessful in obtaining any reduction, but was immediately followed by an addition of fifteen thousand to our quota. Then Governor Fenton went to Washington himself, but was not able to change the determination of the authorities.

The Governor, however, has a faint hope that some relief may come before the draft is onforced, The Governor winds up his address by calling on everybody to try and induce everybody else to enlist. The Governor confesses his helplessness; the authorities at Washington feel at liberty to disregard the protest of tho Governor of the State of Now York. A petition has been drawn up at Albany, and signed by every member of tho Senate, asking tho President to remove Provost Marshal General Fry, whose vacillating coarse has done so much to irritate popular feeling. Fry's mode of doing business meets with tho condemnation of all parties, and his retention in offioe is an injury to the government. Gon, Hayes, we understand, has already boan removed.

Locally the enlistment business is at a standstill. There is no money to pay bounties, no principals seeking substitutes, and men ready to enlist if they can get the bounty, or to go as substitutes, are turned away daily. Tho prospect is anything but cheerful. Street Cleaning. We have before us tho prospectus of the New York Sanitary and Chemical Compost Manufacturing Company, who propose to revolutionise the business of street cleaning, Ihey have already made a proposition to take charge of this business in New York, and are about to make a similar proposition to tho Brooklyn authorities.

The Company proposes First A thorough cleansing of the highways of our cities at frequent and regular intervals upou a well organized plan of operation, and by the aid of Smith's Street Cleansing Machines. Second The removal of all BweoptaBS, offal, garbage, ashes and night soil in proper water tight and covered carts, designed exprcrely for such work. Third The manufacture and introduction of portablo water closets, into public buildings, ofllooB, work shops and factories. Fourth Tho manufacture, and sale of chemical compounds and manures from tho waste and refuse of citios. Fifth Tho establishment of obbatiors.

Sixth Improvements in tho construction of streots, wharves, and sewers. This comprises tho work of tho stroet cleaners, tho offal contractor and other sanitary measures, now irregularly attended to; to grade and pave streots, lay sidewalks, and build sewers, all on contract with public authorities or pnvate parties. In London and other largo cities, parties remove ashes, garbage and offal, without charge, making a handsome compensation out of the refuse, which is turned to account in various ways. all the fertilising material produced in largo cities was saved for agricultural uses, we should have no need for importations of guano. It has been the practice in our large cities to dump the street sweepings, ashes and garbage in the river, paying contractors extravagantly for throwing away what might under operations of an intelligent enterprise, be made to pay all the expenses of keeping the city clean.

Tho Company referred to, like all private speculations, will naturally try to make all the money it can but if it inaugurates a new and bettor system of management in street cleaning, it will bo a sanitary and economical benofit to our large cities. The MiLLsrATjoH Yebdiox. Mr. Mille paugh who obtained a verdict against Mr. Seth Adams for $10,000 for tho loss ot his wifo, doos not appear to stand much chance of getting the money, Adams was brought up before Judge Ingraham, yesterday, on an ordor of discovery, he having failed to satisfy a judgment of four hundred and thirteen dollars, which was obtained against him by Philip 0.

Aubin. Upon being examined as to his pro perty, he swore that he possessed nothing save a few articles of jowelry. A receiver was appointed to take possession of the estate. We publish on our first page Mr.Kalbflsioh's speech on the question of amending the Constitution. We believo that even thoso of his constituents who may differ from Mr.

Kalb fleiBch.will concede that his argument reflects credit on the ability of their representative. Pboobess. A negro named John H.

A meeting of the tax payers of the Eleventh Ward wos convened, last evening, by Supervisor Hiiks, at Grenada Hall, Myrtle avenue, for the purposo of considering tho proposal brought up before tho Board of Supervisors for levying a Special War Tax upon real and pcrscnal estate in Kings County, Thoro wero Bomo forty or fifty (ox payers presont Mr.

S. M. Griswold was elected Chairman, and Mr. John F. Hennessey, Secretary.

The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock by Supervisor Hicks, who explained tho object of his ualling them together. He said that thero was a proposition beforo tho Board of Supervisors to lovy a Spocial War Tax in thiB County of about 1 20th per cent, a moa suro of such importance that bo had dcemod it his duty to call a meeting of his constituents, to consult with thero and bo guided by thom in any dcolsion they might arrivo at. Ho did not proposo to tako any part, pro or con, but left tho matter entirely in their bands to act as they thought fit. Mr. John Altken said that in ordor to arrivo at tho Eense of tho meeting, ho should proposo that tho Supervisor of tho Ilth ward be requested to ubo his best efforts against the passage of tho Special War Tax resolution by the Board of Supervisors.

Mr. E. L. Ssndorson, in seconding the motion, said that ho did not know how it might bo with tho other citizenB of tho ward, but it would be a great htrdshtp to him to pay a tax of $500 or $000 in addition to the taxes he had JuBt paid. If tho tax wero levied it would result in many instances in the necessity of surrendering whatever property tho tax payer may bo already iu possession of.

Ho had seen that it wis tho unanimous opinion of the residents of tho 20th ward that they should oppose this measure, and ho thought It would be woll for the 11th ward to oppose it likcwiso. As many of tho property owners had paid at the time of purchaso only $1,000 or $1,500 down, the tax proposed would, in fact, amount in such rases to a total absorption of thoir property. Ho believed that tho general fooling upon the sabject was ono of strong opposition to any Special War Tax at the present time. Mr, John F. Hennessoy sold that tho proposed tax was of a most Berious character if they boro in mind how much larger the number of owners of ouo house was in tho 11th Ward than tho owners of largor property.

If a man buys a houso for $4,600, and pays, as is often the caso, $600, mortgaging tho proporty for tho balance, ho is assessed on that property Just tho same as if It wero unencumbered. Probably of the ownors of single houses, five eighths wero in this condition. Thero was another thing in thiB connexion which would probably raise the taxeB in Kings county to 0 or 7 per cent. By a decision of tho Supreme Court of tho United States, incorporated companies having investments iu United States Stocks are not liable to taxation. Tho moniod institutions and InBuronco Companies of this county having paid thoir local taxes under protest, and this docision being in thoir favor, tho whole of the money will havo to be returned to them, and the deflcioncy must bo met in next year's taxation.

Ho ceitainly thought that undor thoso circumstances tho Board of Supervisors should not put on any special war tax. The Chairman invited a further expression of opinion, but there was no response, Mr. Aitken's resolution on being put to tho vote wis carried without dissent. The Chairman Baid it had been suggested that a publlo meoling should bo called to tako the subjeot into consideration.
