Silt : JL-have the' honor of informing
tho City Gounod, through yon, that tho
liability'of tho Central Nutioual Hunk,
of Columbia, to bousaossedforcity tuxes,
was this morning, by appointment, tho
subject of a conference betweou tho So?
licitor of that'.13ank" Colonel F. j W. Mo
Master, and myself, as City Attorney,
which resulted- in the bonoession that it
is BO 1 fable, through its share-holders or
ia its corporate capacity, for tho uso of
its oapital, although United Stutea bonds
or securities within the city for banking
purposes. The. tax demanded by the
?ity of Columbia will, tbereforo, bo paid
by the corporation without longer delay.
Knowing the liberality of the City Coun?
cil towards the tux-pay ern, I agreed to
recommend't o them to receive the proper
tax from.the corporation, ia place of re?
quiring the; individual share-holders to
pay the tax ph their investments in it ae
individual personal property ; und, on
the pay mont of the full tax by it, to re?
fund to-such share-holders HS have paid
the amounts thus paid; in this way
avoiding tho unjust exaction of a doabk
tax. I trust that I will not be consid?
ered -as having gone beyond my just pro
vince, and, therefore, that roy recom
m'endation will be accepted.'
There are some very important quos
tiona as to taxation which your 'JL'rea
sorer has asked my opinion on; but
after th? action of Council on tho las
section of an Ordinance just passed, il
relation to his duties, I think it conform
able to your wiehos to await tho instrno

olin, in- his speech before thu National
Assembly of Franco, narrating the events
which lod to tho-.ovoi throw of tho Em?
peror Napole?n", speaks iii high terms of
tho firmness, courage and'ability of tim
Empress Eugenie. Had it net been for,
brr tho Emperor would have gone tb
Paris nf 1er he hud surrendered the o'jin
mand of the. army to Marshal Bax, due,
and would probably have loet bis lifo in
the catastrophe whu-h ensued, and vi li ich
his preseuce could not have preven bul,
but might have hastened. Tho Empress,
upon being notified pf her husband's iu
tention to return to Paris, said: "Gen
'cral, only tho Emperor's enemies could
have urged on him this return to Paris.
Ho would not reach the Tu?llvries ulive.
No, General, tho Emperor, shall not
come to Pari*; he Khali remain at
Chalons." At Chalons he did romain
until there happened the crushing blow
nt Sedan. There is no doubt that iii this
matter I he Empress waa tho trued coun?
