EDITOR: The r?solutions adopted at the meeting of citizens held on yester? day, must commend themselves to the good sense of every tax-payer. They state the* grievance clearly and truthful? ly-they suggest the proper and author? ized remedy. That the taxes assessed, and now sought to be collected, are un? just and oppressive, is a question about which there oan be no difference of opi? nion. To be forced to pay for that which you do not own, is to bo taxed unjustly; to be forced to pay more than is sufficient to conduct tho Government economically, is oppression. To rebist either injustice or oppression, by all lawful means, is a right which cannot be denied, however practically it may be frustrated. Because we may fail in obtain? ing redress, is no reason why we should not at least make tho attempt. Besort to the oourts, which the resolutions re comEind, is not only a legitimate and constitutional mode of seeking relief from oppression ?nd unjust laws, but seems to be one of the methods antioi flated by the tax Act itself, by which ro ief may be had. Section 92 provides but three canses which may bo assigned by the Treasurer for not collecting taxes. Thc 3d causo is: "That suohjtaxes, assess? ments or penalties wore enjoined by a competent court." Inferentially this is as strong language ns though tho Act had expressly said, "Taxes, &c, may be enjoined by a competent court." So much, then, as to the propriety of seek? ing redress in the mode recommended by the resolutions. That the mode by which the assess? ment of taxes hos been made is illegal, there can be little doubt, and that the courts will so declare, is confidently be? lieved. Here, again, the position is sus? tained by the "Act for the assessment and taxation of property." Section 48 provides that "all real and personal pro? perty shall be valued for taxation at its true value in money; which, in all cases not otherwise specially provided for in this Act, shall be held to be the usual selling price of similar property at the place where the return is to be made; and if there be no usual selling price, then at what it is honestly believed could be obtained for the same at a fair sale at the place aforesaid." This is the law. This is the declaration of the legislative will. This the guide for Assessor, Coun? ty Auditor, State Auditor, and the Boards of Equalization, County and State. Any assessment of property mode on any other basis than that pre? scribed is, in the language of the resolu? tions, "illegal." Proof that this plain, reasonable and positive rule of action has been disregarded or departed from in any one instance, will compel any court to pronounce the assessment un? warranted. In our own immediate city and District, proof is plain, and plenti? ful, and incontestable. Here, there is a "selling price for property," and every sale-day for the lost six months witnesses the fact that property has brought its true and fnll value. And yet the very same or similar property has been assess? ed at 50 or 100 per cent, higher than it either actually Bold tor, or could have been sold for. If stronger evidence were needed, it may be found in tho admis? sions of the Assessors themselves. "We know it is more than the property is worth, but a certain amount of taxes mast be raised, and we can only assess 75 per cent, for State, and 30 per cent, for County taxes;" therefore, we raise the value of the property. Look, too, at the inequality of tho taxation ss re? gards real and personal property. A sells to B his boase and lot for &5,0u0-its full value. B gives his bonds. They each make their return-A of his bonds, B of his house. When they oome to pay their taxes, A is assessed upon his $5,000 bonds, but B finds that he mast pay npof>$7,500 of real estate. This is only one of a thousand instances. Why with equol proprioty should not a premium be added to the bonds held by A? And, to reduce the argument to an absurdity, why not assess the man who hos nothing n thousand or moro dollars, and make him pay taxes on what he ought to have? The object of this communication, however, is not to discuss the tax bill, or tho proceedings of the officers appointed to carry it into effect. It is intended simply to express satisfaction with tho aotion proposed by the resolutions, and to venturo the prediction that, under the able management of tho eminent coun? sel to whom has been committed tho conduct of Ihe cause, oppression will bo averted and justice attained. SPES. A French doctor has discovered that turpentine is a sure antidote to phospho? rus, and he oommonds this discovery most especially to parents whose children have been sucking lucifer matches. It appears that in more than twenty cases of this kind he bas employed turpentine (one tea spoon-fnl nent) successfully, and his report on the subject of these cures has been favorably received by the Aca? demy of Medicine.
