On Tuesday ten lots in aixty-fourth and Sixty-fifth streets, be? tween Eighth and Ninth Avenues, were sold at private hands for $205,000. The Eighth avenue fron,t of ;the .Park, between Seventy second and Seventy-third streets, has been purchased by August Belmont, Esq. , -Dr. Joseph Buchser, of New York, contri1 butes to the last Medical Record a circumstan? tial account of a case of "transfusion," in which three ounces of blood were transferred from a young man in robuat health to a female patient, aged seventeen, who lay at the point of vital exhaustion. Six weeks afterwards, the patient resumed service* in the family where sue was employed. .* -The trial of Dr. Evans, the abortionist, was concluded in New, York on Thursday by a verdict against the accused of attempted man? slaughter in,the secoud degree. District At? torney Sullivan called for the lull penalty on Evans as a man who for years had led a life of inlamous criminality. Judge Bedford express? ed astonishment at twelve men, supposed to be intelligent, remaining out all night after -such clear evidence. From eight years' ex? perience in that court he believed Evans to be the most consummate villain ever convicted there. He hoped that all professional abor .tionlsts would take heed, for neither their ill gotten cains nor alleged great influence would avail them In that court. He then sentenced Evans to three years and six months in the ' -State prison at hard labor, the full penalty. -All advices lrom France Indicate a revival o? sympathy with the Bonaparte dynasty. A few months ago no Frenchman could be brought to discuss seriously the possibility of Napoleon III ever coming back to the Tuiler? ies. But they now own that such a thing is, if not probable, at least possible. This is the statement of the New York Tribune's Paris correspondent, who further speaks of the tem? per of tho people in that distracted communi? ty. He says that many people in Paris hate the Commune with all their soul and all their strength, but they hate M. Thiers and the Ver . sallies Assembly rather worse. Of course it ls plain that M. Thiers might separate many who _QOjrV-Ki?h-Ht?U Ui COM joans ii. oil Ow tQtiiuiuuo. or rather wno detest tho Assembly and lia monarchical tendencies, by passlug a law which would guarantee municipal liberties to Paris, ana by proclaiming formally the Repub? lic. But these are Just the* two things which M. Thiers will not do. He has seen fit to nom? inate generals who owe all their past lo Na? poleon HI, and supposing them to have brought him and his government into Paris through rivers of blood, there ls no question which they would proclaim, che Republic or the Empire. -The discussion of thc oill Incorporating the Provinces of Alsace and Lorralue with Ger? many waa the occasion of an Important speech by Prince Bismarck in the German Parliament. He opened by declaring that, ten moutlis ago, Germany desired peace, and lhat, aller the war waa forced upon them, the Gormans were determined to secure guarantees of a more peaceful fm ur e. These guarantees must be territorial,, tor the guarantees of foreign pow? ers cannot help Germany. It was first pro? posed lo make Alsace and Loi raine neutral territory, by which Germany and France would ba separated from the North Sea to the Swiss Alps. In this way, said Bismarck, there was no possibility that Germany would attack France, for Germany respects treaties of neu trali y; but that would not prevent France from.sending a fleet to attack t?ermany, and as the naval power o? the latter ls not equal to that of its adversary, Germany would be pro? tected only so long as these provinces observ? ed their neutrality, which would not be long 1 in the case of Alsace. Therefore their absorp- 1 lion oy Germany was required. Bismarck 1 closed by promising Alsace und Lorraine the ? power of self ad minist ration, and hoped to < overcome the aversion of the Inhabitants'my means of Teutonic patience and love." . -The splendid column in Place Vendome, Puris, which the fanatical Communists destroy? ed on Tuesday last, was one of the. principal ornaments of the city. It was erected by the first Napoleon, on the site previously occu- , pied by a statue of Louis XIV, and was in? tended to commemorate tho French cam? paigns of 18?5. It was begun iu 180G, and finished in 1810, in imitation ol the columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius in Rome. The shaft was of stone, " cased on the outside with bronze from the mend of 1200 pieces of captured Austrian and Russian caa non, aud embellished with a series of bas reliefs representing the victories of the French arms. The figures were eight feet high, and the length of the spiral 8*J0 leet. Rising to an elevation of M3 feet, and surmouuted by au Imperial figure, the column was for sixty years a prominent object in Paris, and its ar? tistic beauties were the suuject ol'general ad? miration. The number ol'figures represented in the baVrellett was 2000, averaging three feet in height, and the mass of metal weighed about 360.?0U puuad8. Its total cost was 1.500 000 francs, nol ot course including the value ol the mewl empioyed. This amount was just the same ns wu? offered for Its preservation by a number of wealthy Parisians' on the eve of Its destruction The railings around its base have long been covered with wreaths of im? mortelle?, in honor ol Napoleon, usually the offerings of old soldiere. ,-The Versailles government secured the funds in the public offices in Paris by an in? genious 'stratagem. These fuuds. which amounted to $15,000.000 in specie, bonds and bank bills, -'ere placed in a wacon used for 'Conveying bread and potatoes lrom the Chari? ty Hospital to the Almshouse at Is?y. The even i ne bet?re ul tempting to pass the vehicle through the Issy gate, a similar one was sent by the hospital manager ?by way ot trial and to disarm siispicio'Q. the guard allowed it to pass, while at the same time the driver secured a pass for the jjEext d%y, written in the usual unoujelal styM?/of- th?" commune: --Opon'the gate$ even.-V. there, are orders to keep it cloted." Nest day the wagon, containing the treasure hidden under sacks o? potatoes and. loaves ol bread, arrived at the same gate, and was stopped despite the written order. The guard who gave the pass was away, and his successor would not respect lt. In virtue ot hiS'rig it of inspection, he proceeded to open the door ef the wagon, 'and having overturned some of his sacks, was about to remove those which covered the treasure, when a lieutenant who commanded the post arrived and called out, W know all about that cart, let it pass." The guard let go the sacks, closed the door, and the vehicle passed out. In an hour and a ?alf Ia er the $15,000,000 were safe in Versailles. The same evening the Commune learned all. and ptoclalmed that they were robbed. They sent orders to Issy to arrest the manager of the hospice, but he had followed the millions which he had helped to secure. How to Tax. The requisites of a wise system of taxa? tion are : first; that it should secare equality of assessment; Becond, that itshouldbe certain and economical in the collection; third, that it should not trouble and annoy the tax? payer . and, fourth, that it should not affect production. The facts set forth in previous articles show that the system of levying a direct tax on articles of personal property possesses none of these requisites. It is in? quisitorial, and under the most favorable circumstances thirty or forty per cent, of the personal property in any giv m community .escapes its operation. Oaths are powerless to prevent evasions of it. The consequence, is that some are taxed and others are not It is this inequality that constitutes the burden of taxation, and it hos been found that taxpayers complain not so much of their awn burden in that respect, but of the fact ?at their neighbors escape altogether. Just an minute animals of delicate structure are fountj to exist under enormous pressure ut greta depths in the ocean, because the pressure is equally distributed on all points of Lhebr surface, BO taxation is not felt where a like equilibrium is maintained. Moderate? ly prosperous communities will bear very heavy luxation where it is felt to be jost and equal. . Fully recognizing thes*- facts, all the lead? ing civilized and commercial nations of the world, indeed all nations civilized and un I civilize 1 ? ?vcept the United States, have j abandoned the attempt to levy direct taxes on personal property ia the pos? session of individuals, as something that no governnent which rules through laws can do with equality, while the civilized world" is further agreed that the attempt to enforce such laws are prejudicial tu the morals and material progress of a conntry. It 13 said that od operators find that one well sank in the right spot will drain the whole basin better and with ress disturbance to the surrounding country than many. So it is with taxes. The less diffused they are, the more efficient they prove them selves, distributing themselves with wonderfoi uni? formity over all the property of the country. Every person nosseas of personal prop-, erty, uuf?ss he ooh vert IL into money and re? frain from, all useofi.., afords some sign or in? dex of i ts possession. In England, France, Senjltnn; Holland aua SJofJaM, in all or which countries oar system once prevailed, experience gained through years of practice, and assisted by despotic administration, has led to tie conclusion that the rental value of houses or other occupied buildings is the most cer+sio index of the value of the per? sonal cuate of the owners or occupants, und is the best meusure of the individual's income and ability to pay taxes. Mr. Wells's reeommsndutiou9 aro as follows: 1. Tax real estate at a uniform valuation. 2. As the equivalent for all taxation ou persona!, property, tax the occupant, be he owner or tenant, of'any building or of any portiou of any building used ris a dwelling or for any other purpose, on a valuation of throe titres the rental or rental value of the premiseu occupied. Tenement houses occu? pied by more than one family or having a rental value not in excess of a fixed sum, to be taxed to the owner or occupant. 3. Tu:; corporations created . by the State which are in the nature ot a monopoly, such us railroad companies, gas companies, banks, private bankers, (by way of license,) insur? ance conpanies and savings banks, on their surplus. Manufacturing firms and corpora? tions would not come under the rule. Such Laxes are easy to collect, and distribute them? selves over the whole community. The tax should ba levied on the aggregate value of the stock of the corporation and its debtless sash ou land. It ia thought that io the State of Kew York snch a plan at the present rate of luxation would produce moro than the tax upon the whole personal property of the State 4. Exompt all otheyiersonal property en? tirely. It is objected to the second of these rules that it offers a premium on cheap structures. Thc anster is that wealth instinctively seeks to display itself ia ornamentation of person and esta.e. Ai;ain. it may be urged that under this rule ? person having uo real estate and large personal properly, and living in a hotel or cheap apartments, will escape taxation. Now, in the first place, if his property is iu stocks, i.e., he will ne taxed under the third rule. If in Uoited States or exempted stocks, he would escape under any system ol the di;ect lax, but uuder this system the Ux on lund roaches him as a consumer. If be owns only bonds, uotes, &c it may be observed, first,' that there cannot be m.iay such persons; and, secondly, that a person deieruiiied to escape direct taxation can do so equal y well. It L> contended for the new system that it removes the temptation to fraud; tho tnx gattiers will be scarcely seen; disclosure of property and the making of oaths will be avoided; production of every kiud, shipping, trade und commerce will be untrammelled; the various legal questions ari3in<r out of tue present system will be spared; United States bonds* and the surplus funds of saving? banks will feel the taxation and the money put away IQ them will be returned to other investments; and the citizen, seeing in a consolidated form tbe inevitable barden he bas to bear, will more'powerfully direct ilia 1 attention to the disbursement of the reve? nuer. THE NATION commends the apMjflBjft in favor MmuT?rity representativa whrci have recently found, so emphatic at? utterance in .'South fcarolifca,'as fensofing Simd profitable reading for tte D?mocrate o? Connecticut, who have just been so. ctoningly-^coltiited out" of their" victory in the contest for Gov? ernor. The notoriously even division of par? ties in Connecticut certainly renden* the adoption of the principle of cumulative voting a thing much to be desired by men of all political vi?ws in that thrifty little Com? monwealth. OKE of the queerest objectioos which have been raised on this side of the Atlantic to the ratification of the new "Treaty of. Wash? ington" with Great Britain, is its omission to exclude, by express provision, any claims that may hereafter be set up by the English holders of the Confederate cotton bonds. We, of the demnct Confederacy, had sup? posed that those bonds, in common with all the other obligations of the Confederate Government, had been cancelled to the sat? isfaction of everybody under the Appomat? tox apple-tree. TUE GEORGETOWN TIMES treats the Ku Klux warnings which have so sorely fright? ened Congressman Baioey as a mere joke. This confirms our own impression; but, whether in inn or in earnest, there can be no question that the authors of these warn? ings have done a serious injury to the people of the State. It is by just such jokes, silly nnd reprehensible enough in themselves, that we of the South are tying the hands of our political allies of the North, and furnishing to the unscrupulous Radicals who manipu? late Grant the very excuse they want for giving another turn to the Southern screw. ?Hacrieo.
