SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Three hundred and sixty-six failures
were reported In New York city In the six
months ending on June 30, in which the
aggregate liabilitiea amounted to $1 1,582,(156,
and the assets were valued at $5,990,346.
Compared with thucorrcspoudingslx mouths
of tho year 1878, the above figuies present a
very howful exhibit, as there were then re
ported 514 failures, with gross liabilities foot
ing up $39,030,195; assets, $14,012,002.
Pri r to 1872 the Erie Railway paid au
nually or new rails, and lepairs to rail!,
$2,639 a mile. Slncethen the road lias been
laid with steel rails, and the repairs theicby
so reduced that the annual expenso on that
account amounts now to but $253 per mile.
On the entire road this nllbrds a saving of
$1,600,000. The Railroad Gazette estimates
that the substitution of steel rails eflects a
clear saving to the railroads of this country
of $19,000,000. The extensive use of steel
rails began in 1872, at which time nearly
eleven per cent, of the rails wcro replaced
yearly, while in 1878 only 51 per cent, had
to be rclaid.
The new tax law of this State compels
railroad and transportation companies, be
tides their dividend tax, to pay a tax on
gross receipts, and companies mining coal to
my a special tax on that. Homo insurance
companies are taxed on their premiums, for
eign insurance companies, banks, and all
corporate aud unincorporated fiscal agencies,
on their net earnings, aud a fixed tax of
four mills on the dollar is levied on all evi
dences of debt, public or private. Corpora
tions in general are taxed three mills 011 the
dollar on the ur value of their stock, if a
6 per cent, dividend is declared, and less or
more as the dividends are larger or smaller.
A tax of three mills on the dollar on that
valuation is levied if no dividends are de
clared, all profits kept by the company be
ing treated as dividends. The tax on trans
portation companies is eight-tenths of 1 per
cent on gross receipts. The specifications
under the tax of four mills on tho dollar on
the evidences of debts bonds, mortgages and
the like, cover every form under which a
debt is recorded, and are so drawn as to con
tiuue the practice under which public cor
porations, cities, and towns deduct the local
tax from tbe coupons on their bonds pre
sented for payment by the owners outside o!
tbe Bute. Mortgages given in tho purchase
of real estate are exempted from all but
State taxation.

ncPLV TO I,INAl-OllE'S' "lJI
PAHXIAL Os'lIMlON."
Tbe very abusive communication which
appeared in the lastnumberofthe Advocate
under tbe caption "Raising Church Funds,"
and which was written by a person sufficient
ly shrewd and cowardly to hide behind the
ever available ambush of a nom deplume,
lor the purpose of victimizing a party whom
he bad not the courage to assail in a "lair
and square" way, would not bo considered
worthy of an answer if it were not for tho
mean, misleading and slanderous misrep
resentations, and personal denominational
thrusts which it contains. It is evident
from the extremely illogical und ungram
matical construction of "Pinafore's" article
that he needs "literary" development more
than a"literary entertainment" where"somo
walk cowti'cui" (comically) and some "dress
arnica" (comically). But we shall pass his
imperfections by and in self-defense answer
his contemptible sectarian "flings." In the
first place, Mr. "Pinafore" sets up a man of
straw. By a stretch of his fruitful imagina
tion he conceives and assumes the idea that
a most cruel war has been declared by tho
Evangelical church against the M.K. church,
and he feels himself called uion, by means
of hit non-church (I) and unsettarian (7)
weapons, to "slash all around" and "show
up" tbe former. Let mo rcscctfullr inform
General "Pinafore" that his services aro not
needed 1 The Evangelical church never de
clared war against the M. E. Church, nor
against their cake walk cither.
The article which appeared in tho Sabbath
School Visitor, (which seems to be the bone
of contention) was written as a word ofcoun
tel for Evangelical members, for an Evan
gellcal paper, advocating Evangelical prin
ciples.aud circulating in Evangelical Sunday
schools; without any director indirect, or
' even Implied reference to the M. E. church
Hate we not the unquestionable right to
take care of our own people 1 I should be
sorry .indeed ,if "Pinafore's" jniscnustructions
and misrepresentations would engender
etrifi between these two denominations, for
we are bretbern. 1 au!,uowovcr,!iappy to be
able to believe, that our M. E. brelhorn flic
not willing to enlist under the "infidcP'colors
oitreneral "J'inalorel" . us havepcace.
(Secondly, Mr. "Pinafore" grossly aud
maliciously misrepresents the "jutriotie"
and consistently christian lecture held iu the
Evangelical church. Does a patriot in lecture
"desecrate" a pulpit 7 Should not the fires
of patriotism1 burn- upon every Christian mil-
Iiil 7 Is not every Christian pulpit the fear
ess exponent of truth? and is it not tho
acknowledged duty of ministers of the gospel
to educato the people on all moral subjects?
Or is there no morality connected with
"Pinafore's" patriotism aud politics? What
ia"Piiiufore'sunio(uttcaud"iiniiartialopin-

Her. Bowman's lecture was a-very good

many Democrats from the same state do not
deny that Davis will bo a candidate. They
bay it all rests with him, aud that if bo is n

Tlio Democrats in Congress have shown
one thing, at least, that ought to be scored
up to their credit, No matter how violent
thcopiositiou to them has been they have
always been courteous, gentlemanly and
considerate. Even in tho heat of debate no
insult has boon uttered towards an opponent,
and no apology for words spoken in debate
has been required of any of them. No mat

strained their passions and btaud before the

bably agree to this adjournment resolution,

and so many aro deserting that, unless Con

that It may Icao the power to adjourn at all.
It Is tho present week, and there Is no longer
any doubt In the legal lnt, tint a flmil ad
journment Is Impossible without a quorum of
tho two Iranscs voting for tho same. It Is also
certain that should sn extra session be culled,
which somo now think probable, a quorum
would not be here, and It would be a very dif
ficult tnsk to-secure one. A number of Demo
crats leave for their homes to-night and to
morrow, and say that under no circumstances
will they retut n, eren If another extra session
should be called. The closing debate In the
Houso was notes animated as had been ex
pected. The two parties settled their wrang.
tlnx by granting to each side a half an hour.
General Garfield consumed the time for the
Republicans, and Frank Hnrd most of It for
tho Democrats. Garfield tummarlied the ex
traordinary doctrines which have been laid
down by tho Democrats at this session ; show-
tho alarming; return of the old douraa ol
states sovereignty andcontluded wlththescn
tlracnt, which met with enthusiastic approval
tho Republican side of the House, that the
nly tf'ound of union fur the two parties In
this country Is that tho war for the Union and
the salvation of the Republic was right, ever
lastingly right, and that the war against the
Union was forever wrung. Frank Hurd's con
clusion was better suited to the stump than
the forum, and was for the most part a resumo
the specu delivered by htm earlier lu the
session.
By no means the least of the pleasures and
perquisites of a scat In Congress Is that of be

can only bo conducted at Cape May, Long
Branch or Atlantic City ; a third decides that
Its duties necessitate a trip across the contl
nent or up to the St. Lawrence, anil so goes on
the merry farce. This year tho Senate has
lipped very extensively Inio this sort ol pro-
ceedlnn somo sixty of Its monitors having al
ready looked for such os'.cnslblo committee

Asllcy, I unanimously vote yeu a nuisance,
reconsider the vote, and lay t lie motion to re
consider upon the tablo and ty every parlia
mentary rulo you ought to subside ! Wedon't
want your sp indled goat skin. It has already
done moro to demoralise New York than any
other yard-and-a-quarler or leather that ever
was tanned. It cost us over sixty thousand
dollars hard earned money; It emptied great
lakes or whiskey and whole ttullsof beer down
our people's throats i It has already ruined
several splendidly made men, and cut off ten
years from the life ornearly every contestant I
It made nlhl rowdies out or respectable hus
bands aud fathers; It engendered extravagant
hopes In the breast or the Foolklller concern
lint the ultliuute disposition of thousands or
our young mon, aud well, what has
America ever done to you, anyhow t You are n

him to the penltentlaylf he won't go to Par

him anything, but don't let him bring that

But If tbe worst must come, then I submit
that New York has bad Its share. You take
