From the obey(' it would appear that the
election of Dr:J.4l. Stehman, at a previous

A i ire course of I;is opponents looks as if they'
were afraid of the result. As a measure of
'dictation 'to the bcard, the resignation of the

• TAX Arrnxt.—A communication will be
found in to-day's paper celTing fur a meet
lug to take proper steps towards opposing
the., arbitrary and unjust interference on the
-part of the County Cominisjidneis with the
assessment of" our borough property. We
-hope there will be a general expression of
the sentiments of our people on the occa
tion. This action must not in any manner
'be understood as opposition to just and ne
cestmary taxation. The people of Columbia
are suffieicntly patristic' to bear patiently
and cheerfiilly thir fair proportion of any
-tax which the di - m-eticies of Government in
- this unexnmpled crisis may exact. We will
support with all our means an energetic
'prosecution of the war against the' rebels, to
cr.d, and will never raise a clatimring
voice against the necessity. But it is quite
'a different affair to protest, no 'redo, against
an unfair app.ationment of valuation on
WhiCh is to lr based our State and County
Lies, (and against which, after the 2lth of
this month, ‘yo'reay 'at appeal) for the suc
ceeding three years. We ciaint that the
Bounty Commissioners Iptve unjustly a Idea
eleven per cent to the sworn valuation of
the Assessors; and we propose to take such
''mien as will be most effectual in reversing
this unjustiti.tble. action. Let every pro
perty-holder' attend.
FATAL RAILROAD ACLU/EST.-4AI last Sat
urday evening, near nine o'clock, as the

was impossible for 'the • brakesmen on the
train to see the Germain, or to stop the train
even had they discovered him.
Any one unacquainted with the manner
ofehifting the trains nt this point might
readily make the same fatal mistake as did
this unfortunate krenger. There is every
reason, therefore, to avoid passing through
the depot after night. 'rho track on the
outside (if it is neeessarY to walk on the
railroad at oil) is much safer, and entirely
free from anything like the shifting of
trains, in whicla'lies the great danger.

Ml 7. WrtlCllT:—Allow me through the me
dium of your columns, to correct an erro
neous impression, under which many par
sons labor, in regard to the duties and pow
ers of the Chief Burgess of this Corporation.
r ' It is thought by many that he hears the
?erne relation to the Borough that a Mayor
does to a City—tlt•tt the police force is sub
ject to Lis cortrol—that he can arrest or or
der the arri.sf. cf criminals—commit to pri
son. &c. All a mistake, sir!
Linder the "General Borough Law,"
passed some years ago by our State Legis
lature, (under which many boroughs are
cow workitm). wil'icb, at a public meeting
held at the Town Hall shortly after, was
almost unanimously rejected, this would
hare been the case to sonic extent; but un
der out...special charter, granted by thz L •-
gislaturz in 181-1, he has no such p Avers.
In all actions for or against the Corporation,
the Chief Burgess stands a.i the representm
tire of die borough. Ile is i:Iso the Eveett
tire of the Burtrugh ox:dim:pees, violations
of which must always be complained of to
him, before it is his 'duty: to . net; even then,
sir, he can do almost nothing, ezcept through
a. justice of the peace. These, sir, 1 believe
to be the sum and substance o? the duties
and powers of our Chief Burgess; other du
ties bury be imposed upcn him by special ac
tion of Test. Council.
In the :communication of "W" in last
week's issue, he hopes (as all other good
citizens du) that the proper authorities will
put down the "Calithutupian" nuisance.—
Let me say for the informatioo of the gen•
tleman that the respon.ible mmservators of
the public peace are Justkes Ilunter and
Bruner, and the Constabulary force under
their control; and that the gentleman, him
self, if he feels zealous for the public good
way act as ''the proper authorities" in
"crushing outZ,! the evil of which he com
plains. Let him gather up bis evidence and
make Lis complaint before either of our
justices; and upon conviction the delinquents
will be bound over to keep the peace; and
they may also be fined one dollar each, in
accordance with an 011 Borough Ordinance.
Culumbi.t, reb. 3, 110
Me.Weicn::—lt is stated that the Court
ty Commiesioners have added to the last
triennial asbessrnent for Columbia, eleven
per cent., thus making our taxes fur the
next three years not only high, but burden
soine. This is unjust and deserves consid
eration. It is. therefore proposed, that s
town meeting be held in the Town Hall on
the evenin. , 'of Saturday, the Bth inst.', to
adopt such measures as may be necessary
for relief, especially as this act of the Cdre: ,
missioners is
tax
for the purpose of de
creasing the taxon property in the iowships,
and thus giving rufaitiOnal evidence; Why it
is that the rural dislikes always oppOse the
selection of a resident in the towns as a
Commissioner. Tax-payers look to it. '

l‘lessns. EDITORS:—The subject of a Bank
ruptcy Act ia again before Congress. A
bill has been prepared which proposes the
full and unconditional discharge of the
debtor. except ns to certain fiduciary debts,
and this bill I hope will be opposed and de
feated. The Philadelphia Ledger has the
following sentiments about
"If the experiment of a universal bank
met system is to be tried fur the third time,
it is to be hoped it may be attended with
better success, su far ay the substantial in
terests of the country are concerned, than
Wes the case under the acts of HOU and 1841.
The great danger in regard to.all insolvent
raw.: is not so much in the theory on which
they I . .l'oceeti', as in their practical adminis
tratios Amorig the thousands who availed
themselcoii of the last bankrupt net, few es
caped with tope tations as fair as before they
entered' the Court. We, however, agree
with many of 61;:- merchants that any such
measure at this time is entirely unnecessary;
and we are not tulurget, either, that the
last General Bankrup;. act, passed by Con
gress in 1841, was thought by many of our
most eminent business trie . a'tc be of advan
taAe chiefly to dishonest slebh`ira. and before
it was repealed, in 1843, had becorpe obnox
ious to the business community. Congress
could riot new, without much difficulty,
agree upon any bankrupt act. however well
drawn; and even the advocates of the, mea
sure will admit that, to draw up an efficient
bill, which shall protect and aid the honest
debtor without offering opportunities to the
dishonest, will require more time than the
national Legislature can spare front the im
mediate exigent duties of the session.—
Moreover a General Bankrupt act would
include the staeding States as well as the
loyal, and wotrld 'benefit the rascally rebels
much more than it would honest insolvents.
The South owes hundreds of millions of
dollars. The pcstage of a General Bank
rupt law would blot out the greater part of
this indebtedness, and 'give the countenance
of law to the most shameful mot wholesale
dishonesty ever practiced. This alone
seems to us a entffieient reason for not enact
ing such a lire at the present time."
Repudiation al - indebtedness has had much
to do as an element of the Soufbc,rn rebel
lion, and alien that repudiation has caused
the ruin of misty of our .!':lurthern merchants,
it seems to be cutting it rather fat for Con
gress lb' pasatta'aci legalizing it and aiding
the ruin of ethers.
