• JOIIN BROWN'S - ANNIVERSARY.
is ten years to-day since panic-stricken
'Virginia hung that brave-hearted, misguided.
old man, John BrOwn, and set his spirit
.0 -ntarehing on" upon that wonderful path
..-which spread its widening track across this
'country, year.by year, until the great armies of
'the Republic, swayed by a resistless destiny,
Jpoured themselves along it, chanting, with
ai knapsacks strapped upon their backs," the
immortal war-song whose simple burden is
that
"Jelin Brown's body lies mouldering in the
ground;
His soul is mardhing on."
-John - Brown was a !fanatic, and died according
to law. Virginia and her half-crazed Governor
were terrified out 'of every attribute Of mercy
And tolerance, and old .John Brown's magic
influence, since exerted', upon the world, is
• largely due to the extravagant sensation which
Virginia made out -of his mad raid upon Hai
per's Ferry. That raid was the act of a single
enthusiastic, 11d Irian, driven from a just
mental balance by his personal wrongs, and it
is no longer needful to defend the Republican
party from . the oft-repeated charge of com
plicity in or responsibility for his crime.
Abraham Lincoln, with his • instinctive clear
discrimination, put John Brown in his. right
position, in his famous Cooper Instititte speech,
February 27, .1860. He said: 4 ' John Brown's
effort was peculiar. It was not a slave insur-'
rection. It was •an Attempt by white men to
get, up a revolt • among slaves, in which the
slaves refused toipartielpate., .In fact, it was so
absurd that the-slaves, with all their ignorance,
saw plainly enough it could not succeed. That.
affair, in its philosophy, corresponds with many
attempts, related n>, history, at the assassina
tion of kings and emperors. An enthusiast
broods Over oppression of a people till he
fancies himself Commissioned by Heaven to
liberate them. Ile ventures the attempt, which
ends in little else than in his own execution.
Orsini's attempt on. Louis Napoleon, and John
Brown's attealipt at Harper's Ferry .were, in
their Philosophy, precisely the same. The
eagerness to cast blame on Old England in the
one case, and on New England in the other,
does not disprove the sameness of the two
things."
11611 , 1'INANCE REPORT.
The Finance Committee of comic& lots
been diligently • engaged, through a sub-cona-
mitten' of wZiich GeneraltWagner is chairman,
in its annual- investigation of the condition of
the municipaLlinances, with the view of estab
lishing the tax rate for IBA and of a clear tin
, derstanding of the present liahilities and asisets
of the city. .the report of the committee is
. long ; minute.and interesting, and evinces labo
dons and patiott research, into the necessarily
implicated accounts of the City Controller..
There rue ,many details in this hizkresting
c•report which•deserre notice and comment; but
:the main, central fact which will arrest and
-engross public attention, and which must elial7 I
lenge the prompt and energetic action of
,Councils, is the enormous defect in the collec-
Mon of. taxes. It will amaze most of our
readers to learn that on_ the first of January
4E69, there were outstanding taxes due.the
, city, amounting to $4,256,808 24! Of this, the
tinge sum of '51,507,021 36 bad been outstand
Mg-since 1362, and, we . presume, is now con
sidered a hopeless •. debt. Of this whole back
debt to the city, about three-quarters of one
per cent - have been collected during the pres-•
eta year, leaving still nearly - four neilliom of
taties due .to the city at the beginning of the
present year.
Here is, :undoubtedly, the great leak
in the city treasury,
,and to stop it be
tomes the great duty of Councils. The
peopleof Philadelphia are willing to he taxed
for the ',necessary expenseS of their govern
ment ; but they are most r unwilling
to hive the burden .of taxation so un
equally distributed that millions of unpaid
taxes are piled up by one.half of the
community at the expense of others.
$1,924,152 SO is the sum of taxes for 1860,
1507 and IS6B, yet uncollected, and.it is hope
less to tan: about reduced tax-rates, with such
a frightful leak as this, continually draining
away the resources of the city.
'1 he Finance Committee has done a good
public service hi laying their lucid statement of
the condition of affairs before the people. But
we trust that it is not intended to stop here.
There has been some terrible neglect of official
duty in this matter, running back through
successive administrations for many years, and
the Finance Committee should boldly and
honestly probe it to-the bottom,-and- when this
has been 'done, Councils should apply the
'remedy of a radical reform in the whole
system of tax-collection. The sub-cent- ,
mace's report suggests two plans. The first
of these proposes to transfer the collection
all taxes outstanding on the first of March suc
ceeding the year for which they are levied, to
the City Solicitor, with power to lien the pro
perty, arid to sell it iu ninety days after filing
the lien: The second plan is said to be in suc
cessful gperatiou in some parts of New Jersey,
and consists in selling out the unpaid tax: list to
, the highest „bidder, he being clothed with all
1 , th e powers raow vested in the city for the en
' for(Aricnt . of tgay it len t.
Of these two plats, we would like to see the
bluer tried first. The objection suggested by
the Committee that it is only transferring the
duty from the solicitor of the Receiver of Taxes
to the City Solicitor, is scarcely , a sufficient
. one. There is a dittereot sort of, accounta
bility atnnit the ottiee, of the City Solicitor,
MMM
from , that ,which 'attaches to the pri
vate solicitor of the. 'Rece.iver of Taloa,
and his official duties come merfidireedY
un
}ider tha i6ti)44ud edntrot of Councils and of
the public. The , second plan seems more
,susceptible of being made the means of the
'sawn sort of corrupt jugglery' that so often
:connects Itself With 'the letting of large con
tracts. To farm out the four millions of now
uncollected taxes to the highest bidder world :
.be' a very large • operation, arid,' the 'public'
ranch would feel ieas disp osition to pay up
arrears to a private speCulater in their debts
than if the claim was presented by the City
Solicitor, backed by notice of a prompt sale of
the property , as 'the penalty for nonpayment.
The committee very' sensibly *suggests that
no plan could well produce less than the pre
sent,,one, tie that It is perhaps safe to try almost
any experiment. Councils cannot permit this
dreadful waste of the city's resources to go on,
and the subject should meet their immediate
and earnest attention and action. If legislation
is needed for such a purpose, there cart be no
difficulty in obtaining it., and the paying half
of the community will be more than gratified
to see a stop put to the habitual neglect or dis
honesty of the non-paying half of our taxables.
THE RICHARDSON CASE.
Albert D. Richardson died this morning,
If he could be quietly put under ground,without
any further sensational scenes among the New
York apologists for adultery, it would be a good
thing. But this is not likely to be the case, and
decent journals out of New York have, there
fore, a duty to perform in repeating their con
demnation of the adulterer, and of the journal
ists and ministers of the gospel who have .been
making a hero and a martyr of him for the past
few days: It is gratifying to find that a few of
the New York papers have began to take a
proper view•of the case, and now join' us in
condemning Richardson and .his• literary and
clerical supporters.
The pretended marriage between Richard Son
and the partner of his guilt, Which took place
night before lax - at the Astor House, was the
grand sensation scene in this tragi-comedy. It is
shocking to read the prayer. uttered by Rev. 0.
B. Frothingham by the dying bed .of the
adulterer; shocking to read the words of Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher invoking: the divine
blessing upon the two guilty people. When it
is reMembered that Mrs. McFarland got her
divorce in Indiana, without the knowledge of
her husband, ' the, legality of .such divorce
will be denied by every right-minded person.
The marriage pronounced by lll...Beecher was,
therefore, no marriage at all. It was an out
rage upon the sacred institution, and an insult
to all virtuous men and women. Mr. Horace
Greeley has been regarded as a pure and
honorable man ; but he has forfeited his right
to such consideration by the conspicuous part
taken by him at the bed-side of his wicked
associate, and by the 'blazonry in his
paper of the laudations bestowed by
unthinking people upon the two chief
actors in this drama of sin. Hon. Schuyler
Colfax, Vice-President of the United States, is
a gentlemen who, although belonging to Indi
ana, has always respected the obligations of
.marriage, and it is impossible that he can have
known all the circumstances of Richard
son's conduct, when he telegraphed his tender
message of sympathy and solicitude. That
George Francis 'Frain should have done. the
same thing was quite natural and proper; but
the other prominent men, whoao telegrams and
letters the Tribune has spread before its
readers, acted thoughtlessly and from a wrong
impulse, when they pres6ted themselves as
comibrters to a man who had no right to the
&sped of men who believe in the" sacredness
of the marriage tie.
But, Richardson is dead, and it would be
well if the story of his guilty life and wretched
death could die with him. This, however, ,
will not be allowed. He will have a pompous
and solemn funeral ; his pretended wife will be
made a pet and a heroine; the man who shot
him in a frenzy cruised by the news that the
wrongs done' him had been aggravated by a
decree of divorce from the mother of his chil
dren, will be tried for his life, and the whole
of the vicious and morbid influence of the
journalists and ministers that,haVe surrounded
the dying adulterer, will be used to secure his
punishment. McFarland is conderimed al
ready, by the papers and preachers that have
been sustaining Richardson. .It • does
not appear that any of these par
ties; literary or clerical, endeavored to bring
Rielardson to a condition of repentance before
his death. This, at least, should have been an
object with the ministers of the gospel that at
tended him. Not one of them seems to have
tried to obtain front him au acknowledgment
that he had sinned.. So far as the death-bed
scenes have been described, he appears to have
been treated.as the most immaculate of saints
might Lave been. Nothing was done to pre
pale him for meeting the great Judge of the
deeds done in the body. The whole affair, in
its progresi and its finale, has been shocking
and demoralizing; and the actors in it deserve
the emphatk condemnation of all honorable
and viituous Men and women.
.1 WO DEMANDS EOM LEGISLATION.
Among the many subjects that will come up
for early consideration in the next session of
the Legislatme, there are two which, from
their peculiar but widely differtint character,
will require instant attention. We refer to the
3letropolitau Police bill and the necessity for
providing such legislation for the mining dis
tricts as will prevent a second Avondale dis
aster. The need of these legislative enact
ments acquires its urgency from the fact thai
in both cases adequate protection ffir human
life and property is not obtained under the ex
isting systems. Upon the question of the ne
cessityfor a:MetropolitwPolice,apppiffie4 and
controlled by a body of pure and just and wise
men, there is no difference of opin
ion among intelligent citiiefiS --- who
are not blinded by bitter partisan
ship: LaSt Winter, when the subject was dis
cussed, there was a very general expression of
unfavorable opinion; for, at' that time we had
as police force which, with all its faults, - was at
least composed of respectable men, who tried ,
Ito preserve order and to enforce the laws. We
need not speak at length of the character of
the present force. The Mayor has been the
tool of the cotrupt and lawless persons who
placed him in office, and he has filled the ranks
of his force with incompetent men, with the
lowest class of Democratic politicianB, and
in many instances with ruffians who
abuse their authority in the most shame
less manner. The: brutal conduct of the
police during the recent political campaign,
their wretched incompetency then and since,

The Avondale disaster has been almost for

lulled the' country with horror, and story ;sleet
up for legislation.which wanld Maio_ another
such tragedy impossible. There are dozens of
mines in this State, each ervihith istoristructed
as the Avondale mine was—with a single shaft,
with an inflammable wooden edifice over the
shaft, and with no possible, avenue.of escape if
the month of the pit should be 'closed by fire.
The miners, and the people of the 'etninunity
who contributed generously to the ' relief of
the families of the. Avondale victims, have a
right to demand of the Legislature
a complete investigation of the present
,careless system of raining, and the
passage of careful, intelligent and inape,ri
tive laws which will compel mine-owners to
make life in the mines as nearly safe as it
can be made by human ingenuity. We doubt
not that immense influence will be brought to
bear upon the Legislature by wealthy mining
companies to prevent.the institution of expen
sive reforms; but we hope and expect: that
these will not avail in the presence of a demand
in which nearly the entire constituency of tha
Legislature joins.
State Treasurer Mackey is entitled to much
credit for his management of the' 'finances of
Pennsylvania. An article on the Subject,which
ire copy elsewhere from the liarrisbarg Tele
graph; sets forth some of the advantages re
sulting from his management. The article
would have hadA better appearance if it bad
been free from the flings at former manage
ment;-for it will be construed as a LW for
another term for Mr. Mackey, and a hit at his
predecessor, who is understood to be a candi
date for the office again. But, under any cir
cumstances, it is gratifying to know that the
Treasury is full to overflowing, and that the
reduction of the State ‘ debt and of the taxes is
likely to go on more rapidly than ever. ,

Agassis and the Book of Genesis.
A paragraph has been going the rounds of
the press that Prof. Louis Agassiz, iu a lee.
lure at Cambridge, denied the truth of the
Book of Genesis as recorded in the Bible.
Prof. Clark, of Scenery Hill, Washington
county, Pa., sent the paragraph to Prof. Agas
six, and received the following in reply :
DR. 13. CLARK, SCENERY :
Two or three Wctirs since I received a letter
from youinclosiug au extract from a newspa
per regarding a lecture delivered by. me in
ervard. lam little in the habit of noticing
things of this kind, being convinced that often
itis useless, and having become from long
habit somewhat callous to' misrepresentation.
Something iu the tone of your letter makes
me answer, unwilling to leave it unanswered,
and I write to say that the statement you sent
rue is falie.c „Di some opening remarks of a
course on geology, which I am now deli:eertng
. 4ty in the University I said that the "theological
interpretation of the' work of Genesis.tiving
six thou - MA-yars as the age ofthe world was
abindranceito the understanding of geological
evidence and no one who started • with this
idea, andallowed his researches to be influ
enced by it, could be a geologist."
I do not remember my exact words, thelec.
tare being extemporaneous; but this is the
substance, and I know I (lid not say what
your newspaper extract reports.

Pltalladelphis Rorie: Market.
Tily}teDAY, Dec. 1869.—The money market continues
moderately easy, and the tendency of the rates is de
cidedly downward, the supply being better proportioned
to the demand. The ranks of business borrowers are
thinning out daily, and the symptoms now favor un. easy
and steady market towards the close of the year. This
morning there was some demand for money on call, but
it does not appear to affect the tune of the market . to , any
appreciable degree. We quote at Sag per cent. on good
stuck collaterals, and discounts arc easy at Sala per cent.,
according to circum stancee.
Gold opened this morning strong at ITl'4 , advanced to
declining about noon to 122'4.
Governments are quiet but prices opened and continued
strong, at an advance of about )4 on closing prices of
yesterday. , •
There was an inaprovemeut In the tone and feeliagenf
the market this morning, and prices advanced. In Stute
securities there were sales of the first series at 10234, and
the second at 1063 e:. City sixes were quiet. Small sales
of the new at 99, and Lehigh gold loan Sold at 9534.
Reading Railroad was quiet but steady, advancing to
9032. Pennsylvania Itailro;ul WAS active; sales at 53. h ., and
b. o. Lehigh Valley Railroad was taken at 53. Uata
wive% Railroad preferred at 39111, and Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad at 28.4—au advance of.a.
In Conde we have no sale to report, and bids were
nominal at 3334 for Lehigh and 66 for Iderris preferred.
The balance of the list was steady, but there were no
transfers worth recording.

Mr. Blake supported his motion in a speech
of some length: He criticized the course taken
by the Goiernment on the former evening,

took place.

WatonNorow,Dec.2.—The Ways and Means

on metals, prepared by Judge Kelley, has not
yet been stibmitted, but it is awaiting the arri
val of Judge Blair, of Michigan, a member of
that stib-committee. It makes many changes,
and in the aggregate", 'reduces the tariff
slightly. Mr, Brooks. of . the Sub-Committee
on Chemicals, has gone . to New York for .a
conference with the manufactureraand others,
taking with him Judge Kelley's metal sched
ule, and also the amendments propo:ed I,y

RICHMOND, Dec. 2.—The Board met this
morning, and a committee was appointed to
invite Governor Walker to visit the sessions
of the Board. The committee found the Go
vernor just leaving the city, but were informed
that he would visit the Board on his return, in
a few days, with his thanks for the courtesy.

Board of Trade were registered.
The liminess programme was then taken
up. Tenth Proposition—" Uniformity in Cor
poration Laws." , Referred to the Executive
Council.
Eleventh Proposition—"A Government D
epartment of Cominerce."—A resolution was.
adopted that Congress be requested to estab
lish a new Department,.to be known as the
Department of Commerce, to- which shall be
referred, questions connected with our foreign
and domestic, trade and transportation
and a Committee be appointed to memorialize
Congress to that effect. The proposision ori
ginated with the Baltimore Board, and was
endorsed hi speeches by Messrs. Opdyke, of
New York; Wetherill, of Philadelphia; Hall,
of Chicago ; Raper, of Boston ; Cork, of Cin
cinnati, and others.

inept had its. bands too full toattend to mer
cantile questions. The oommunity wanted a
department on a footing with - other depart
ments of the Government, with some eminent
mercantile man' at its head. In Great Britain
this bad been done, and John Bright, Presi
dent of the Board of Trade, had, been put at
its head.
