way of prolonging a charter. The original

the franchise may become void. The Company

We present on another page the liist of
a series of articles which Professor J. 8.
Newlierry wilj eontributc to Tiik TurMTXM
upon the present eondnion and outlook of
the mining industry. Prodssnr New
lierry is uu expert of the hiebest
authority upon tbo subject of mines in the
United Mates, and a man whose judgment
mine-owners everywhere seek and accept im?
plicitly in nil disputed points. Tliis series of
articles will embody not only the regalia of
his long experience aud close study, but
also the fruits of his latest ob-eyvat- tjjj
made duiinir a reoent trip to the mining
region. The paper printed to-day is introduc?
tory aud general in its nature, MflowlSJJT the
history of mining fever.?, in the past, and ex?
pressing t li * - ho/e, at least, that we may now
c.-cape an epidemic of reckless spi- illation
Professor New berry Rhows that the busi?
ness of mining must be managed on
business-like principles, and that when so
conducted it is extn-nie)}- protitalde and
at the same time safe, instead of being, as it
is commonly supposed, wildly hazardous and
uncertain. His suggestions on these points
will attract the attention not only of the
largo class who are interested in mines, but
of the Mill larger class who are eoutemplal
int? such investments.
The dispatches from Maine to-day suggest
the curious contingency that the fr aud plot
may fail because Governor GaiveUni and his
eolle-igucs did not go tjuite fai cnotiJi i:i iheir
wicked work. According to t'e election
which was had in the Council Chamber, seventy
eight Fusion members were chosen BO the HaW
out of a total of 151. ts'hould only time ajof
these sevciiiy-eight men revolt at the crime
in which they are expected to participate, the
Fusion majority would disappear, and it would
lie possible for the Republicans, by with?
drawing, to leave the House without a quo?
rum. The possibility that some of these aatni
may have consciences has suddenly suggested
itself to the Fusionist leaders, who are -an.
to be watching their men "closely.'' To one
of them they are piobably listening closely,
inasmuch as he has published over his own
name a denunciation of the fraud in un?
measured terms. It there are two more stiel,
just men iu Sodom, the Maine fraud will be
in a fair way to bo de'>uted. The dispatches
also indicate that the 1 rief whirl of talk about
a forcible resistance has subsided, ami
that the efforts of the Republicans
will be concentrated upon an attempt to
prevent the organisation of the House. Tbej
are steadily at work, however, keeping the
nature of the crime vividly before the moral
st use of the country. Ex-Setmlo- Mmiill'-, let
ter to Governor Garc.t-.lou, asking him to list
Mm msi :tutional power to call, on solemn oc
? ,.>n>i.?., u poi ? the. judges of the highest com
of the State for legal decisions, am
to submit the whole cape to them, is c
rlank movement. It proves the williDgncss
of the Republicans to submit their claims to
an impartial tribunal. It is likely1* to be
evaded or rejected, anil either evasion or re?
jection will show that the fraud party fear an
honest decision.
THU CHILD ASD CUlLhHtS.
Yestciday the streets of New-York were full
of dramatic hints of the home lite of tbe
people, and one of the ino^t significant and
pathetic was the number of shabby women
and laborers going home from their work
who crowded in the evening into the s-f.
wistfully fingering some pretty toy or Oil of
finery for the baby at home. They could not
affoid to buy it?that was plain enough on their
fai.-; but tin v alw.vs bought it, and went
home the hapuier. Baby is King In theccllai ?<
aud tenement-houses. See him when he is
i.ikeu out from them to walk. On Sunday
afternoon, no matter how worn and patched
is his father's co;?t or mother's gown, he wears
a feather or a scrap of lace. It is-the rerneni
luaiiee of his little red face tliat gives his
mother strength tlirough the long, hungry week,
and kee|w his ijruornut, bnttisli father sie.id v
at bis work and out of the dram-shop. He
is the oue gleam of iunoccDcc, of hojie, of
pure ambition iu their sordid live-. It ||
for him that they deny themselves, or try to
struggle up out of the level of the sluugh in
which they were bora.
Take the town at difh-put levels and you
will find tbe sunn- story a million times redu?
plicated. Tht re is a little morsel of laafe
-.i\;it!icd iu costly luce, aroiiud whose cradle a
worldly fashionable lauuly gal her to-day and
grow human and tender and forget money and
fashion. It is for bis boy that old gi;,y haired
Croesus toils over his ledger or gambles iu
stocks. It is to give "the child'' a bellet
chance than tliej have ever had for happiness
and toituue that bundled* and thousands of
over-worked mid ilc-class men are drudging
to-day, and will go on drudging to th, end ami

Now it is this imperial conqueror who is to live
forcTor, now that. Now it is a revolution iu
dynasties or in science which is lo work a
permanent change in all tilings. Yet, DM by
one, each drops into its proper place and be?
comes insignificant, but the Immortal Habe in

East bring their offerings to Hun, and fie1
poor Hebrew hot tiers are sent from their dreary
swatcfc on the hillside to find heaven iu his
face ; and as age follows age the world goes
with them to worship at Hi- feet, and there
find (MS and comfort.
This picture of the Mother and Child, so
dear |fl us a'!, is no jvoelie fancy. There is u
reality in the life and death of Jesus broad
and BOM onough to underlie the presi lit c ivi
lisation of the world and the needs of each
individual man. Hut it is His childhood to
which wo do bomasre to-day. And we,
btury modern New-Yorkers, l?ow to it
as did the Kings of Chaldea and
Tntshis!;, because we neogaln thut in
the birth of that Infant >n the stab!'

age, truth, and self-sucriHce unknown before.
The kinps und the poor Hebrews knew that
they needed these tilings; they gave their gifts
of gold und myrrh, in acknowledgment of
their need. So do we know it. When we go
about to-day with our hearts lull, giving our
litth' signs of lo\e to each OttMfi trying to
make some hungry woman or little child hap?
pier because Christmas bus come, we are only
in OUTDOtW way trying to show our recognition
and our need of that Divine Lou and un.scl

Rhl-nnu THE TAX LAWS.
Out ol 350*656petaOPI residing in this city,
and engaged in some gain)ill occupation,
only 12.SU9 are assessed at all i n taxation on
; er.-onal property; <>,235 Of these made 110
excuse or return, .r?l?T> swore that they had
no personal property subject to taxation,
and only 1*859 persons admitted that they
had any such property. If may be- supposed,
pnrh'tps, that the women, the youths and the
aged men who are engaged in gainful DOCBh
put Jon a, have as a rule accumulated scarcely
uny property. Hut there remain 25-1.770
Malta, from 10 to 50 years of nge, *\ho are
( lining a livelihood 111 Some profitable em?
ployment, and yet there are only 1*859 per
mois of both sexes who admit that they
hive any personal property subject to taxa?
tion.
The bitter complaints which have lieen
?ado from time to time regarding the evasion
of taxation by individuals and corporations
known to be wcaltny have almost wholly
missed elli ct because they tinv?- boon based
uixm the assumption that the fault lay with
the individuals or corporation.*, anil not with
the laws under which they claim exemption.
Hut the investigation which The Tkibpnk has
commenced will show th.it the fanlt lies mainly
with Um law. The system of assessment
ami taxation is utterly unworthy of a civil?
ized community. It enables the very men to
escape taxation wholly, or almost wholly, who
are boat able to bear public burdens, who
have the largest property interests demanding
PMOtiOtiQB at tho hands of the Government,
and who, therefore, ought to contribute most
to the support of the Government. It is un?
just, us well n* a waste ol tiim , to blame these
men for refusing ti> pay taxes on property
which the law exempts. Nor is it passible to
discriminate accurately la-tween those who
wrongfully and those who rightfully claim
exemption, because the laws are so framed
that they open countless doors for eva?
sion : render it almost impossible im
many a man to detenu me, even by
the most conscientious scrutiny of his own
nffait s, what part of his properly should
legally be taxed ; and make it quite impossible
for officials to guard against fraud on the part
ol those who wish wrongfully to evade taxation.
Ifis the part of common sense and common jus
1. a to waste no more time in fruitless cen?
sure of individuals, but to arouse public opinion
to demand a thorough reform of the system of
assessment and taxation.
Facts already published have demonstrated
that this city pays its full shore of taxation
upon personal property, and its full share
of all taxatiou, but that the burden
which the people of the city bear
is not equitably distributed. In fact, the
tUatribotiou is outrageously unjust. The
1.859 residents who pay taxes on personal
property bear many times as great a burden
in the aggregate as they should bear, but
even among them the taxation is most un?
justly distributed. Some pay a gteat deal
less than they should, and in consequence
oihers have to pay a great deal more thou
they should. The assessed valuation of per
propei ty in 1878 was only 9197,532,075,
and the tat levied was $3.159*669 77, so
that the average rate, 2.76 per 0111,
wuh more than half the average interest or
profit on money invested. Hut had the same
1 ix la;en levied on the true value of all per?
sonal property without exemptiou or evasion,
the rate would not have been more Ihau
one-half of one per ceut. In eff. et,
mote than four-fifths of the personal
property is exempted, of by defective luws
enabled to evud' taxation, iiudjn consequence
the tux borne by the remaining prraftaall
property is at least live times as iu ivy mm it
should be. The fact that those \>h<> wrong?
fully swear off or swear down their taxes
really rob their neighbors is of small conse?
quence, compared with the other tact that
the laws th. niseivi s really rob the owner*, of
one-fifth of the personal property for the
ben-lit of the owners of the remaining four
fitths.
We publish to-ilav the list of those 11011
11 si.n uts who admit owning property subject
to taxation, but have sworn down the 1
assessments, und we shall follow it uf
the Brat convenient opportunity with the
list ol tboae .who have sworn** oil' the
tax altogether. It will Ix- found thai
main of the richest men 111 the city arc
included in the latter. It does not follow
that they have violated law 111 ulK or the
majority of case*. Ti.e laws which make uu
just, unreasonable, und iniquitous distinctions
between claaaM Ol personal property pjhich
ought lo b-j equally taxed, are responsible lor
a gi at part ol the unfairness .mil oppien-i\ 1
in ssof luxation, nod, in a certain sense also, loi
a g.eal part of the wrongful evasions which
Hi.) to much encourage. Until we have a
thorough reform of the system iL will Lav folly
to expect that taxes can be made reasonably
light or fairly adjusted.
VN9KA WOMTBTT SUITS.
A lew months ago there was an animated
ilatnilK 1 in the English papers over the
frequency of the sort of ocean disasters of
width the h>-s of fhe Borussia bus just fur?
nished an cxnmp!e. When a ship strikes upon
fhe coast, or runs into nn iceberg, or is in
collision with another vessel, or tukes fire,
th.*re has been almost always some fault of
MM crew, ami we cm show how the accidt nt
might have been avoided. But a lnrge pro
IKirtion of the ships lost nt sea wholly disap?
pear, having no record of their fate, and we
can only conjecture what happened to theui
und what was tin* cause of their destruction.
Few persons realize how common such dis?
aster's are. The ship sails away from port
and \n heard of no more. There is a
long period of anxiety before Lope is
abandoned; nod meauwhile, . unless the
vtssei is well known and tbe pas?
sen gl r list la lire, tin: general public for?
gets all about tbe case?perhaps does not
even hear M it. We have before us a li-t of
al -n-hips only which have sunk on the voy
ftfce bei ween Europe and Ann riea wtiliin len
years. It does not include wrecks on the
coast or losses by burning or collision;
im ivly the -d< aun ts which have foundered, or
have been abandoned sinking, or are missing
with all ou board. The number am.Mints to
BO loBfl Until t h iri y - foil i, nnd it is certainly
not complete. During a tit i le more than two
months of the Winter of 1872-!73 one traus
atlantic steamei was capsized, two foundered,
tme was abandoned at sen, anil five were re?
ported mi-sing?a total of nine during a
single season-befides which the year lh7
wns signalized by ten European steamers
"wrecked." The year IS7H was also
very dwistroiis, ami ?MJ list of missing
or abandoned transatlantic steamships iu
JS7'.? amounts so far to no fewer than
seven. Sixteen have gone down within
three years.
Most of the missing vessels were freight
boats carrying few passengers, and the
aggregate lost of life is not known,
though it certainly range*) in tbe thou?
sands. It has been remarked that these
steamers were, nenrlv all of DHtish build;
but it doe- not appear that the intio to the
total number of British ships in the American
trade was unduly large. It is also noticed
that a considerable majority of them were
employed iu carrying wheat, ami it is sug?
gested that the swelling of grain improperly
stowed may have caused them to spring,
a leak. To this it may be nnswered that
most of the disaster* occur in the stormy
season of Winter, aud tliat neaily all the out?
ward bound freight-boats at that lime of
the year nre loaded with breadstuff-. The
great number of mi-sina steamers however,
ami the fact that they are almost invariably
vessels of one particular class, may well
prompt a ( loser inquiry into the causes of
these losses, than any otlicial authority has
yet thought of making. They seem hardly to
belong to the calc-rory of unavoidable ac?
cidents. .
As a rule WO Isdieve it will be found that
missiue Hteauti is :ir<- cither vessels which have
been degraded fn in the flr-t-cl.s-* passenger
service on account of age or other defect,
or else boats too small nnd too weakly built
for the danger- of the wintry Atlantic, or
boats with m-uffiei. nt engine power. Veiy
many of the StGOBten sent out of this port
with grain nre small and low in the wafer,
and not only is their lnuchiuery weak but thej
nre obliged to economize too much in the con?
sumption of fuel. Seas over which the better
elass of ships ride easily will sweep them
from stem to stern. The staunch and
full-pow< red pass' tiger steamers of the New
York and Liverpool, Glasgow, lbcmen, Ham?
borg, aud Havre line- are hardly impeded by
tbe m< -t tempestnoBB weather. They make
their trips, Winter after Winter, with regular?
ity, and it is extremely rare for them to sus?
tain any serious injury from the utmost vio?
lence of the elements. It, nevertheless, while
these ships pass safely through the worst
storms, there is not a season in whi<*h four or
live or more freight steamers are not swal?
lowed up by the angry deep, it is almost im
jMissible to retrial tbe conviction that the own?
ers of the missing craft conduct their business
'with a criminal disregard of Human life, hold?
ing it cheaper IB the long ran to drown a few
hundred sailors than to pay for ships tliat
will float.
.1 WANT TEA r HAS LONG BEEN WELT.
The inability of the private citizen and the
average public Journal st to express in
adequate language the tumultuous emotions
excited by the fraud in Maine has been during
the past fortnight a general and distressing
grievance. Indignation meetings have been
held; speeches have been made; severe lead?
ing articles have appeared in the lit publican
press; spiteful and contemptuous paragraphs
have been written by DetBoeratic editors who
foresee the ulterior consequences of the
rascality; yet still it is felt that jus?
tice has not been done to "the con?
spiracy of force and fraud which, after
"short incubation, chipped shell on the
"morrow of the election of" Sepieinlx-r. Is7l>.
" Forasmuch as the plot to filch" the Governor?
ship and the Legislatuie, " from the elect of the
" people, besides its two qu ilities of fraud and
" fotce, bad two periods aud parts," to wit,
namely, thai, is to say, the primary par* and
fraudulent irroundwork of the conspiracy which
consisted in the stealing ot the Stute, and the
final enormity which looked to the heaping
up aud cementing of the crime in de
bauchmeot and di-honor by the stealing of
the electoral vote, it is obvious that the venal
infamy ought to be denounced in a kind ot
English entirely differcut from that em
ployt d on commonplace subject-, and by
some personage raised sonslilcrably above the
level ot ordinary Amencan citizens. The
whole country in fact is suffering fm the want
ot a sufficiently stylish denouncer.
Iu tin- difficulty we turn in-tinetively to

aenta all the characteristics of crime
which most violently stir the gorge of
Moses. The " falstflcntion of the vote ami
" voice of the people at the ballot-box," the
" premeditated reversal of the actual returns,'*
the "subornation of deputized go-betweens,"
the hypocrisy of " arch-primates of treason,"
?all these denotements are found in connec
tion with the Maine sensation. What a boon
it would lie to the country if "an inflexible
"Mose*, always standing fast iu ihe dual
"citadel of power, the keen bright sunlight of
"publicity, would shrivel and consume the
" conspiracy root and branch " in the llatue of
