Any man desirous of evading the pay ment of taxes has full opportunity to. do so successftilly, provided he can keep the collector of outstanding taxes of his ward in good hu, nor, and provided he has no occasion to sell the propertynpon which the. taxed are due. The. result is" that the taxPayet who pays readily and willingly not only pays his own fair proportion of the expedseS Of the city gov erritnent, but from ten to twenty or twenty five per cent. additional, by reason of the dis honesty of his fellow,eitizens. To remedy this the committee ;recommend the repeal of the act authorizing the Receiver of Taxes to enforce the collection of outstand, ing taxes, and the 'transfer of this whole busi ness to the - City . Solicitor, with power and direction to lien property upon which taxes , are unpaid on or before the first day of March, of the year succeeding that in which they were levied, and the sale of the property liened within ninety days from the date of the filing Of the lien. A second plan recommends that immedi ately after the re g istering of the unpaid taxes in January 15 of eachyear, schedules of the amounts outstanding, including' personal tax, , shall be made, and public notice given that within thirty days front date of notice, the total amount so outstanding will be sold at public outcry to the highest bidder, lie to pay into the city treastuY thirty, sixty, ninety, and one hundred and twenty days, with sufficient se mirky for the balance unpaid, the whole ' amount' at which he or she has purchased the schedule sold f the purchasers, to have all the powers now 'vested in the 'city' to enforce the collection of outstanding taxes by suit or otherwise. • This plan would at once assure to the city a certain definite sum for the -tax levy uncol lected at the end of the year, the whole of which sum would reach the City Treasury by the Ist day - of July next succeeding. Councils are urged to immediate action. Looking to the collection of taxes is impera tive, as it is the height of folly to levy a tax only sufficient for the expenses of the city, and , then to be forced to report .at the close of the year that from $750,000 to $1,200,000 of the amount levied is still due, and the great por tion thereof uncollectable. Measures must lie adopted to secure the col lection of the amounts now outstanding and the amount to be levied, or else the levy about to be made must be made with sufficient margin to cover the posSible non-collection of $1,250,- ot,o of the' taxes of 1870. If neither' the one nor the other of these plans is adopted, we will be compelled to fund at the rate of more than 81.000.00 u per annum for current expenses, the inevitable result of which is utter bankruptcy, and that in no very distant future. CASTE. " —ME. SOLNER AT THE ACAp . — Els!Y LAST lczoirr.—At the Academy of Mu sic, last evening; Senator Charles Stunner de livered to an immense audience his lecture upon " Caste." He was introduced by Robert Purvis, Esq. Mn Sumner began his lecture by saying that in the question of Caste he opened a subject of immediate practical interest. Happily slavery, no longer exists to obstruct the peace of our Republic ; but it is not yet dead iu Other lands, while among us the impious pretension of this great wrong still survives against the' African because he is black, and against the Chinese because he is yellow. This is a claim of he reditary power from color, all of which is in- consistent with that sublime truth, being a part of God's law for the government of the , world, 1 which is for the unity of the human family,and -- its final on earth.. A 'Government has for centuries been a device, an expedient—at most. an art. It ',mist become, a scieneei subject to laWs as fixedas astronetny and clituistry. This will be the science, of justice on earth. To this end there must be knowledge. The laws 'must be understood. Every human soul testifies to the law of right; and under the safeguard of this law I note, said Mr. Sumner, place the rights of all man kind—hoping to contribute sozpethin o that . , .. . .. ~, , . , ::.411.:i:!oi: 1 .:,...,.:;:i0p.,,;,., . , - $2,500,000 • 00 - 854,843 90 - _288,596 00 - . 592,462 50 - 434,769 00 - *227,356 00 144,801. 49, - 23;100 - 00` - 82,725 00 - 82,500 00 - 435,400 00 - •36,75100 - *35,200 Off .'41.239. 00. 19;06, 00 - 113,250`00 - 457,290 00 - 1,433,607 83 - 138,039 00 - ' 34,800 00 - *21,500 00 - 550,330 00 - *B,BOO 00 " K 650 00 •49,025 00 3,000 00 28,925 25 ASSETS 286;952 50 1,564,345 .00 000,000 00 370,500 00 400,000 00 $4,299,237 35 - 8,684,662 12 $12,983,900 12 2,866,668 15 :150,000 00 1,000,000 00 15,-130 00 100,000 00 THE DAILY VuLIitTIN—PIII.I,AbELPMA, THUKS IAY, .1/40EMBill, 2, 1869., jed,gment which blasts the:offronrY OflPaS te' 4B ! dettiq offensive, first to, tlieideaof 4eptiblic, and secondly :to human nature • He then presented a picture of Caste in , India, exhibiting the contrast between the' Brahmin, child of rank and privilege; and the: Sudra, child of degradation and disability, The; sacred Hindoo• book says, " When rt BrahininspringsAo the light ho' above the Worki." flisini.anelerit India to our, republic, the caste claiming • hereditary rank and privilege is white,,aud the caste deemed to; hereditary degradation and disability , is black and this pretension is vindicated by an alleged. difference of capacity, and it is said that al men do not proceed from a common stock. Here Mr: Stimner:;iplcited from Genesis the Creation of man, and also the words of SC Paul, that all are of "one blood." He their said that the apologists for caste hurry from: these tests to science, 'and these he followed. He then sketched the varieties of the human,' family, as indicated by color,, skull and lan guage,- showing 4bat, people:differ widely in color, skull' ~ .and Ainiguage, *Lich philosophy. traced to a common origin. Here he quoted the.testimOny4of Humboldt, in his "cosmos," to the unity of the human family and against caste. • The unquestionable unity appeared in the common organization, common nature and? common destiny, being at once physical, moral and prophetic. By these tokens is he known everywhere to be man, and by' these tokens is he:'evefyWhere:'`eiltitlia td :the'; rights of man. The dog Is cosmopolitan as man, and makes no discrimination of . condition or com plexion his fidelity. EVery Whole is unity. this is the laW. Of creationjrom theautt in the • heavens to the soul of man; not one law for one group of stars, and one law for one group of men ; but one , lasi for'all stars, and one law for all men. Only when we consider the uni versality of the moral law, do we,appreciate the goodness of this unity. :Religion takes hp the cross, and the daily prayer, "Our Father, who art in heaven," is the daily witness f the brotherhood of man. If not children of Adam, we are all children of God. Sunnier then' Considered' the Common- Destiny of Humanity, and the promise of a common universal civilization. , Why this corn- Mon •; humanity-why this Common brother hootlL—if the inheritance is for Brahmins only? He was not disturbed that this result had not been reached already.' It ,wouldcome under the law .of pro,greSs. Already our European civilization leads the way. But there is no section of. Europe which • has not , risen :from Well attested degradation. Here he dwelt on England as described by Julius Ciesari . whose people *ere painted lava - ges, and whose conjugal system was an inces tuous conebbinage. These were our progeni tors. The - Seine, report might be 'made of France. Nothing worse is now said of Africa,. But progress here prefigures progress every where; nay,•it is the first stage in the World— progress., To the • inquiry how is this 'destiny to be accomplished, he, said . 'simply* recog nizing the law's of unity and acting accordingly. The law is plain; obey it. Drive caste from this Republic and it would be like Cain, a vagabond. , • Bountiful agencies of civilizaticin are now at Work. Time and space—ancient tyrants— keeping people apart--are now overcome. There is nothing of aspiration for universal man which is not within the reach of well directed effort. By the printing press and steam engine civilization is extended and se cured. These two agencies are more than Greece and Rome contributed to man. The question "How?" is followed by the 'question "When?" Not at once; not iu any way which does not recog,nize nature as Co-worker. To help in the work it is not necessary to be em peror or king. EverYbody can do something. Not a thing done, not a thing said, which does not help in part the beautiful consummation. In conclusion, Xr. Sumner said that he was impressed anew With the grandeur of the ques tion. Let caste prevail and civilization is threatened. Let caste be trampled out and there will be a triumph which will male the Republic more than ever an example. In the large interest beyond, said he, I have not lost sight of the practical interest at hothe. This question must be settled ; and again I repeat, nothing is settled which is not right. Here, as always, justice :is' practical, politic—the best practice,the best policy. Hospitality of citizen ship is the law• of oar. .national: life. If the Chi nese come for• labor, we have the.. advantage of their wonderful and docile industry; if for citizenship, then' do they offer the pledged in corporation in our RepUblic. Nor is there peril in the gifts they bring. As all rivers are lost in the sea, so will all peoples be lost in our . Republic. —At, the tT. S. Mint a handsome gold medal in honor of, the opening of the Pacific Railway has been struck, and is intended as a testimo nial from the officers of the Mint to President Grant. This med4l measures nearly two inches in diameter. On the obverse is a raised bust of the recipient. Over hiS headforming a circle, are the words : "Presidency of U. S. Grant." Immediately beneath is the following "The Oceans United By the Pacific Railway, May 10, 1.860." The reVerse of the medal presents the most striking. characteristiCs of the road; also the most prominent featitre§ of the great. internal plateau through which the road passes. The peaks incident-to the Mountain ranges of the plateau form the most conspiduous feature in the medal, and in the foreground, to the left, is a rugged column of rock. A train of cars pass ing around these elevntions occupiei the middle ~,M 2nd-oftle Medal. In the immediate fore ground is the great Canon system. In a scroll over the picture we have described are the words : "Evifry mountain shall be made low." Underneath is the following: "Medal series of the U. S. Mint. "JAMES Poi.LocK, Director." Silver and bronze copies of this medal are now being struck, and are for sale at the Mint. —Tbe:Grand Lodge A. Y. M. of Pennsyl vania yesterday elected the following officers : IL W. G. M.—Robert A.

The near approach of the convening of the Legislature may have something to do with it, fOr, unless the new charter is passed by that body. the City Council will have no power to raise money for that purpose. It Was once proposed to levy a tax of two mills on all taxable propertyper dollar towards a fund to be applied towards building it, yet they have 'not even authority for that. There is a great 'necessity for a new hall,' but it ought not to be erected on the site the old one Occupies. A square of ground should be secured in some 'eligible position, which could be used for a public park. • Jews in Russia A correspondent at St. Petersburg • Says, writing on the ;id of NoVember "The Jews here have at length, after much negotiation with the Government, obtained permission to erect a synagogiie. This will be the first building of the kind that has ever existed in Russia. Hitherto the Jews have legally had DO right to reside in the empire, and were consequently obliged to account for their pre sence under various pretexts, for the 'admission of which by the authorities they had to pay large sums; and as they were regarded as tem porary residents ply, they were not allowed to build any permanent houses of prayer. A Committee, consisting of the wealthiest Jews of St. Petersburg, has now been formed to collect funds for the new building, which is to be got up on a scale of great magnificence. The Coloss, ever ready to suspect separatist ten dencies in the empire, takes this opportunity Of lecturing the Jews on their attachment to their religion and customs, and recommending such of them as may wish to remain in Russia to become Russians. This mania, for Russi fying all the foreign elements in the empire is manifesting itself in a very extravagant way in the Baltic provinces. M. Galkin, the Governor of Esthoma, haS ordered all the German offi cials in that province, who are Protestants, to go on holidays to the Russian church in order to liSten to the Russian :hymn, ' God save the Czar.' The officials protested against this Order, on the ground that they have hitherto always prayed for the Emperor in their own Churches, and that they cannot conscientiously attend the services of-another religion. The Governor, however, remained obdurate, and the officials have now appealed to St. Peters.; burg; but the Ministry here is so attached to the policy of Ruisification that the appeal will probably be unsuccessful." Plain Common Eiepniie in Architeetnre There is a passage :in Fergusson's "History of Modern Architecture" which, speaking of Dance's designs for Newgate prison: refers to "the design for the prison of Newgate, which, though only a prison, and pretending,,to ho nothing else, Is still one of the best public buildings of the metropolis. It attained this eminence .by a process which amounts as much to a. discovery on the part of its architect as Coumbus's celebrated in vention of making an egg stand on its end 13Y simply .setting his Mind to. think of The purposes to which his building , was appro- ' piloted; without turning aside to think of Ore-; elan temples or Gothic castles, a very second rale areltit,eopjildneqdn'YerY Perfdet There is nothing in it but two great, window less blocks, each ninety feet square, and be tweekt th'ftanizi Very nOmilOnplithe,„ gitoler'si reit dence, five windows wide and five stories high, and two simple entrances.

In fact the poor old ladies have • a hard time of it; , ante' if we look at it in its right light, perhaps noth ing proves more thoroughly, the , coarse flavor of the world's esteem.respecting woinen'aian this disdain which they excite when they are old. And yet what charming old ladies one has knewn at times—women quite: as charming in their own way at seventy as their grand-daughters are at seventeen, and all the more so becatuze ; they •haVe' no , design. now to be charming ,' hecitukilhey have tgiVen% up.the attempt to please for the reaction of praise, and long since have consented to "be come physically old, though they have never drifted into unpersonableness or neglect. While retaining the intellectual vivacity and active sympathies of maturity, they have added the softness, the mellowness, the tempering got only, frosa experience aml advancing eitot; they are women who have seen and known and read a great deal, and who have suffered vouch, but whose sorrows have neither hard-, cued nor soured titem7—rather , have made ' them even more sympathetic with the sorrows of others, and pitiful for all the young.. They ; , have lived through and . live 3 doWn all their own trials, and have come out into peace on the other side ; but they remember the trials of the fiery passage, and they feel for those who have still to bear the pressure of the pain they have overcome. These are not women much met iVith'in society; they are of the kind which mostly stays at home, and lets the world come to them., Theyhave done. with the hurry and glitter of life, 'and they- no longer care to carry their gray , brim abroad;, they retain their hold on - the affections of their kind; they 'take , an , interest: In the history, the science, the progress of the day, but they rest tranquil and content by their own fireside, and they sit to' receive, but do not go out to gather. 'The fashionable old lady, , who haunts the theatres= and',`' drawing-rooms; bewigged, befiizzled„ painted, ghastly in her vain attemPts to' ppear yoting,fbideons . in her frenzied clutch at. the pleasures ,melting from her graspOlesperate her,wild hold .on a life' that is. passing away from her so rapidly, knows nothing of the quiet dignity and happiness of her ancient sister who ' has been wise enough to renounce before she lost. In her own-- house, where gather a small knot of men , of mind and women of character, where the young bring their perplexities and the ma ture their deeper theughts, the dear old lady of ripe experience and loving sympathies and cul tivated intellect holds a better court than is known to any of those miserable old creatures, who prowl about the gay places'ef the world; and 'wrestle with the young for their crowns and garlands—those wretched simulacra of womanhood who will not grow old and who cannot become wise. She is ;the best kindof old lady extant, answering to 'the Matron Of classic times—to the Mother In Israel before whom the tribes made obeisance in-,. token 'of . respect ;= the woman whose book of life has been well studied and closely read, and kept clean in all its pages. She has been no prude, - however, and no mere idealist. She must have' been wife, mother and widoW ; that is, she must bare known many things of joy and grief, and have had the fountains of life unseale4. How ever wise and good she May. be, as a spinster she has had only half a life ; and it is the best half which has been denied her. How can she tell others, when they come Ite. her in their troubles; what time and a healthy will have wrought with her, if. she has never passed through the same circumstances? Theoretic comfort- is all very well, but one word of expe rience goes beyond voltimes of counsel based on general principles and a lively imagination. One type of old- lady, growing yearly scatter, is the old lady of Radical' pithiest tendencies based on the doctrines of Voltaire and Paine's' Rights of Idan—the old lady who remembers Hunt and Thistlewobd and the nghatn riots, who talks of the French revolation as if it was yesterday, and who has heard so often of the Porteus mob from poor papa, that one would think she' bad assisted at the hanging herself. Sliels an infinitely old woman, for. the most part birdlike, chirrupy, and wonder fullyi alive. „ She has never gone far beyond her early teaching, but, is a fossil Radical of the old school, and sh 'thinks the'Gods departed when Hunt and his set died out.. She is an irreligious old creature, and scoffs with more eleveiliess than- grace 'at everything new or earnest; she would as lief see Romanism ram pant at once as this new-tangled . mummery they call Ritualism, and Hornanism is her ver sion of the unchaining of Satan. As for science =well, it is all very Wonderful; but more wonderful she thinks than true; and " she cannot quite make up her mind about the spectroscope or the protoplasm. Of the two, the protoplasm com mends! itself most to her imagination, foi• private reasons of her own connected with the Pentateuch ; bnt these things are not so much in her way as Voltaire and Diderot, Volney and Tom Paine, and she is content to abide by her ancient loves, and to leave the leaping-poles of science to younger and stronger hands. And this type of old lady is for the most part an an cient spinster, whose life has worn itself away in the arid deserts .Of mental dOubt and anio tiorial negation: If she ever loved it was in secret, some thin-lipped embodied idea long years ago ; but most likely she did not get even, to this-unsatisfactory length; but contented' her-: self with books and discussions only. If she has ever. honestly loved and been loved, per haps she would have gone beyond-doubt; and have learned something - holier than a scoff: The old lady of strong instinctive affections, who never reflectaanenever attempts to re strain, her kindly weakness, stands at the other end o the scale. She is the grandmother par excellence, and spends her life in spoilin g the little ones, crammingAlMM with sugar-phuns and rich cake whenever she has the chance, and nullifying mamma's punishments by sur- reptitious a fts atid , goodies. She is the dearly beloved of our childish recollections, and to the last days of our life we cherish the remem brance of the kind old lady with her beatnitig smile, taking out of her large black reticule, or the 'more mysterious recesses of her Unfathom able pocket, wonderful little screws of paper, which her withered hand§
