John Luba vs. me Mayor, Ac.?The plaintiff * ' this action is tne assignee of one John J. Ruste, who claims to have been an enr loytS of the city in tne months of September and October, 1809, as second cierk in the Surrogate's ofTlce. at the rate oi $!00 per inontu. On the 23d of July, 1867, the fol lowing resolution, introduced by Mr. Tweed, was p*ssed by the Board of Supervisors? "Resolved, 'lhat the Surrogate be and he is hereoy author ized and directed to employ such aid, not to ex. j ceca nine pers ns, as may be necessary to place the records ol hia office In a safe and useful form " j Mr. Tuckar, tne tnen Surrogate, testified that nmier this resolution ::e appointed the plaitutir, ! and th^t tie periormed Bis duties; but whether his name appeared on the payrolls ol tno month in question ho could not remember. : Neither cu d Mr. Ruste, who was examined, 1 testify to mat fact, and on a suggesnou beinir mule as to tnctr production, the codus?l ior the ! city tep.ied that thev were imoBi! tne records which h td disappeared from the Comptroller's Oiacc under the natids of Ha*ierty. Tho point upon w;ncn tne case turne i was as to the appoint ment of rtie officer in the writing and the iilitikt of that appointment in the County Clerk's oQlco as required by a statute passed in 1S47 relating to tne surrogate's, county clerk's and otner office*. Mr. luck>;rwas uuder tae impression that Mr. Ruste was appointed in writing, but cou.d nor say positively, neither could he testiry to the filing. On Hie argument for a dismissal defendant's coun sel tilted a recent case decided ov Judve Kootnson, of the Common Hlea?. where the same question came up. Pia ntiff's counsel contended that tne impression of the surrogate as to tne writing was sufficient to take the case to tne Jurv, nnd tna< the tiling was not a prerequisite.

It is contended on betialt 01 the appellant* that this section provide* lor tlie whole subject of tne taxation of the road, that it exempts the road from all taxes except State taxes, and furnishes the only rule and authority by which these taxes'an bo ascertained and collected, it was held by thin court, in the case 01 tlio Pacific Kuil road vs. Maguire iaot yet reporedi, that th'S section created a contract between tlie .Mate aim the railroad Company exempting the road from taxation until it was completed, and tor t"o years thereaiter it it dnl not pay a dividend before the expiration nl these two years. The inqniry is whether this contract goes urthcr and exempts the roan, ali'-r it has been completed tor two years, (mm all other than state taxation and whether the State ii pro luded iroin providing an o. her mode ot valuation tor .Suie taxes* it is manliest lliailegislation, which It is claimed relieves any species of property troin its due proportion ot the general burth en- ot government, should he so cle ir that there can be neither reasonable doubt nor controversy about its terms. The Power to mi rests upon nece*.-ity ami is in bercift in every sovereignty, and there can be no pre sumption in favor 01 its relinquishment. While it were better lor the interest ot the community that th|. power should, 011 no occasion, he surrendered. This Court has slwtt>s ueld that the legislature of a State, unrestrained by constitutional limitation, has lull control over the subject and can mase a contract with * corporation to exempt its prop erf trorn i? Kiiilon, cither in perpetuity or lor a limited period oi time, il, however, on any fair construc tion ol th" legislation there is a reasonable doubt whether the contract is msdo out this doubt must I if. solved in favor of the state, in other words, the language used must be ot such a character as, lair.y interpreted, leaves no room ior controversy. Ihe present claim is ot perpetual exemp tion ir...i county and municipal taxation, (juite as es sential to toe wants ol the puopie us taxation ior .state purposes, it I* conceded that this exemption is not granted in extne.-s terms : but It is argued lh:u, taking the whole section together, it arises hy necessary impli cation Wo do not think so. immunity troui all taxation was given until the road was built and in oporjtioti two veafs, l>ut alter tins ii is i!< clared "that the road bed buildings machinery,* unities. ears and other prop erly"! Me li completed road, at the actual cash value thereof, smtli tie subject to taxation at the rate assessed in the State on other real and personal property of lice value." 1 his Is a declaration thai the luxation imposed upon the property ot tltts company shall uoi he diftcrcut from the luxutioii imposed upon oilier similar prop er!., which conforms to the constitutional reouire merit, * th.it all property subject to ta.-.ation .shad be taxed in proportion to its value." li other property i? etiarged with the payment of county. school anil municipal taxes, why not the prop erty ot this company ? in no other wav can the princi ple of equality 111 taxation, so essential to good goveril raeBt. be secured. I! tlie legislature intended,to apply ? different rule iu this ease It were easy to have said ih.it the property 01 tins company shall be subject to taxation "tor Slate purposes." Instead of this It is declared to be ".-object to taxation." 1 his obviously means general Mxation?sucll taxaii n rs other property of like value is subjected 10. No words ot limitation are useJ. and none can he implied against lbs interests ot the state. It I- never tor the interest ol tlie Mate to sur rendcr 1I10 power of taxation, and tin intention to do so will not be imputed to it unless the language employed loves no o her alternative. Tne motive for temporary exemption is apparent enough, because until the road was aide to earn -oiuctuiug taxation miuht bear neaviiy upon it. I ui witn the completion of the road the reuson for the exemption ceased, a-id it is dn flcu:t to ?ee nhst inducement there was for the State to grant perpetual immunity from local taxa tion. In the original charter of the company, ! ?ranted in I9tf. there was 110 exemption from taxation. ! Jt i- true the government of IMI altered this so mat the ; road w?s relieved ol any pahlic charge or tax lor tlie po- ! riol ot live venrs; but this privilege exmred 111 irM, and ' the provisions of the act ot H'i2 on this subject were more | favi raid" to the company. Besides receiving under this net a large body of l.nd donated by Congress 10 the ; Slate toaid in the construction ot railroads, it was en abl< d to complete Its entire road and run it lor two veors without paying any tax whatever. By tins means It secured immunity from taxation titittl lS"tfi, and ouv lurt'ier immunity iu tin* direc ion, if conceded bv the staie, would have been a mere gratuity. In view ol u 11 tlie legislation on this subject It would seem quite clear thai ihe Ueneral Assembly of Missouri, while rec ognizing, In behalf of ibis roan, tlie pr ipriety ot teiupor ai r exemption from taxation, ha t no purpose to con tinue these exemptions ttidclliiltelv. nut If is said the secu.'ii covers the whole sublect of taxa tion, and as It provides for .-date taxes otilr r excludes any other. If 111 th" declaratory ; art of It the road had been sublsct lo ' -tale taxation, there woui i have been plaiislollltv 111 the argum ut. to sav the least. that the legislature intended to wnlvc otfiei taxation. Hut the provision is, that after the temporary exemption from all titration ceases by it* own -imitation the property of the road shall lie sub ject "to ta.ia .p n" ui the same rste as other property in the Mate, riiero Is no restriction in this language, nor : is there anv rule ot law by which a word can t,c imported to llinil Its lneanitiL'. Lt is tiue .-icctal p.oviston is only made far the atcer tin iii-r.t atiJ payment ot 1 state tax, and nothing i< s.u 1 about the manner of s-eertaiimig and paying other taxes. But this does not prove an linen t onal abandonment ol nil but >tnte taxes. It proves noiliing more than th tt the l^sgisiaiute thought proper, in the particular01 .-tste taxes, to moiitv the general rcvi tme law tar as this corporation Is concerned, leaving the provisions of tills general law '.perative upon local taxation. It would be n hard rule to apply to the legislation ot a state to hold that tne circnms ance ? t' musing in the am ndmcnt I > a charter of a railroad corporation special provision fot ascertaining - ibc lax' due the -tatc, n-dblng being said about the manner of aacertalniM other taxes), works au exemii tion 01 tlie prop rn of the corporation from all tax ation not levied lor tMai# purposes Si'ence upon such a subieci cannot be construed a* a waiver of tn." right of the Mat* 111 this regard. ih're must be something ?aid which is broad eii.>u -h to show clearly that the legislature Intended Jo relieve the corporation from a part ot tlie burden- born? bv other real and personal 1 ropertv. 1 his was not done in flu* cn?c. and the i luitn of exemption trom local taxation cauiiot oe sustained.

It is not definitely settled when tie will leave there. The dolay comes. nut ln>m anr or toe authorities but irorn the prisoner'* own counsel, who are not yet ready to have bim liberated.

CUSTOM HOUSE AFFAIRS. Tne seizure wn reported yeaterday by Inspec tors Judd and Cockburu of C,000 clgara and 3,000 packages of cigarettes. This last contribution to the seizure Department of the custom Home was made from the steamship City of Vera Cruz, of the Havana line. The prortts on cigar smuggling must, be immense when the contrabandists can afford to take such constant risks. Tncre IB scaicely a vessel arriving ol tne Havana line Irom which there Is not a seizure of greater or less magnitude. Some idea, therefore, may be formed of the illicit ttunic and the immense profits ac cruing from it. Before tlio revenue officers were spurred to Increased vigilance oy tne boldness of the smu gters there was scarcely a notel or cigar store in ttio metropolis that did mi count in it* stock a greater or lean numoer of ciuars and cigarettes on wmcu no uur.r had ever boeu paid to 1 tie government. THK TREASURY CIKCULAR. declaring the resources oi tne revenue appropri ation exhausted, states, in effect, thai "no remit tances lor smaries or inciuentui expenses !or the ejection of itie revenue will be met, us the ap propriation f r the flscal year Had been exhausted, and that no t>ll>s will be paid until alter July 1." This particular circular Is signed by the Secretary oi the treasury and diiected to Cencral C. A. Arthur, Collector oi the 1'ortoi Aew York, although it is directed us well to the surveyors of custom-, and is intended to lie sent a* a general circular to all the custom houses oi toe United States at all ports or entry. That tnls causes some dissatls taction and discussion among the employda is un questionable; but there really seem* to be no rea son why government clerks snould suffer tneir salaries to be discounted oy unscrupulous money lenders, when ihe period oi then embarrassment is limited to onlv one month, and tnolr position in the service, at once responsive and honorable, should itisure them a reasonable credit. It is to ne hoped tne officials *uilerlug from this tem porary derangement will not become victims to the huri les who always naag around government oitlces to prey upon tnose whofe temporary ne cessities are apt to make them easy victims.

THE PALETTE CLUE. SUMMER SIGHT'S FESTIVAL ON THE HUDSON.

Favored bv all tbe eminent* that could possibly contribute to Its suc cess, the affair afforded much gratification and was highly creditable to the club. The steamer Plymouth Rock was the 7e?sel selected lor the occasion: but even tbe spacious limits of that ele gant craft hardly sufficed, so dense was the gathering. She was handsomely decorated with bunting and banners, both outside and within, and when she hauled alongside the wharf at tbe foot of Twenty-third atreer, North River, shortly after eight o'clock, the Inspiriting strains of the baud at oui-e put the guesrs la waiting in the best of humor, owing to the admirable arrangements, which. i>y the way, seem 10 be a specialty with Commodore look-r In all his ventures, there was iio confusion whatever, and the subsequent DleaMires were not a ilttie financed by the order ami decorum wnlch prevailed.
