BEnsior or TUE TAX LAWS. Under an ordinance of Councils of November 26, 1884, Mews. Ell E., Price, Joseph A. Clay, Andrew D. Cash, James U. Hand and William Buoknell were appointed a commiss ion to revise the laws re lating to taxation. The commissioners have made their report to mayor Henry, and It tans yesterday presented to Councils. The commissioners say : The groundwork of our investigations Is contained in the 32d section of the act of 28th of ,April, 1844, which Is In the words fol lowing : and whereas, it is necessary that provision be made for the payment of :he interest upon the State debt; therefore, be It further enacted, that from and after the peelings of this act, all real estate, to wit: houses, lands, lute of ground and ground rents, mills and, maturamoties of kinds , farnaces, forges, bloomerles, dlotl terlee. sugar houses, malt-houses, breweries. lanyards, flatteries and ferries, wharves. and all other real estate not exempt by law from tags. tion; also, all _prreunal estate, to wit: home. mares. Initiate, mule% ' and neat cattle over the age of four years; also, all mortgagee, money owing by solvent debtors, whether by promissory note, penal or Magri bill, bond or Judgment; also all articles of agreement ane accounts b , ttring inter,t, owned or poesessed by any person or persons whateoeve r. except LOMA or bills for work and labor done, owl bank notes; also all shares of stock in any bank, iastilotioD, or company now or hereafter incorporated by or in pursuance of any law of this Commonwealln, or of any other awe or Government; and on all states of stock or weekly deposits In any unincorporated moving fend institntion. and all public loans or stock, whatsoever, except those issued by this COLOruolltt earth, and all money loaned or invested on ieterest in any other State; also all houesto!d furniture Including gold and silver plate, owned by any person or persons, corporation or corpo rations, when the value thereof shall exceed the slam of three hundred collars; also all. pleasure carriage s, both of two and four wheals ; salaries and emoluments of cfboe, all emcee aid posts of profit, prates/tone, trades and estop/alone. except the occupation of farm. ere, together with all other twinge now taxable by the laws of this Commonwealth, shall be valued and as sessed, And subject to taantim fur the purposes in tale act meutloned, and fur alt buttes and comity purposes whatsoever This section, to which the city is referred as the source of pester tO inetettit her revenue, is, in itself, in some particulars, °Mime ; and, in some of its ob. jeans, not such as to bear much further pressure, without driving away capital, to theinjary of the commercial business of the city, and consequently to Impair its growth and the general prosperity. Its inefficient, execution has, heretofore, been relied' upon to diminish its power of evil, in seeming for getfulness of the evil of keeping in existence a law which the people are constantly asked to respond to, but are never expected or required to obey. There are obvious difficulties in attempting to en force the section in question, without further legis lation. The drat to be noticed Is the fact that for twenty years the people have been educated to slight and dLsiegard Its provisions ; and without further stringent enactments to entorce compliance with it, we cannot expect the officials or the people to volunteer to amend their delinquencies. If we had proceeded at once to frame an ordi nance under the sot of 25th of August, 1884, based upon the few general words contained in lt, we could not but apprehend that we had too narrow a basis for many provisions and sanctions demanded by a " system for the assessment " of the city taxes. It appeared to ue that the "system" should have the potency of law directly from the lawmaking power—the Legislature of the Commonwealth.. There are reasons of policy, as well as that which regards the efficient execution of the law, why capi tal Invested otherwise than in real estate should be subjected to but a limited rate of taxation.' It with a facility oranges its place in the pursuit of profit. The Federal Government can, with much greater impunity, tax capital not heed in reality, because her pressure is uniform over the States, and her Pressure can only be ehosped by transfer to a foreign country. If a city, county, or State taxes fagitive Capital unequally with others, It must glee some countervailing benefit to Stay tee Sight of capital. This Now York has done, with the addition of one per cent. interest allowed on moneys at interest. The result Iris been magnificent, in making her chief city the great money-centre of the Country, and in a generally diffused enterprise and prospe rity. We recommend a permission to contract for an additional one per cent. Interest, or that the bor rower may oontraot to pay the tax on the loan, This he will not do unless ho perceives it to by his interest to do 80. Real estate owners, who will consider the whole Subject in all its bearings, will not find in the views we ate expressing any tuing unfriendly to their true interests. They know well, as do we, that while money may lawfully command six per cent , large amounts have been placed out at live per cent., payable at a distentilay. At other times, when the demand is in excess the supply, capital wilt sash a higher interest in New Tore, or In corporations authorized to pay an interest greater than six per cent. on loans. According to its own law, the value Of capital will fall or rise with the opposing pres sures of demand and supply. By Its abundance or scarcity the prices of ail things fluctuate, Moira sive of that of real estate. Real estate alone Is fixed and immovable, and must bear the ulti mate pressure of the local taxation. The question for Its owners to consider and solve is, how much taxation will capital bear without yielding to the pressure and passing away, and what will counter veil that preseurel If capital Is driven away, popu lation goes with it, and is gathered round distant en terprises. Without capital houses, warehouses, and manufactories cannot be built; and without popu lation these cannot be occupied, nor produce rent or taxes, nor can markets for the produce of the farmers be sustained. Capital must be retained to be the life of all business and enterprise, and to maintain the growth of cities, and the price ails real estate. To be retained It must have he fair profit, and not be unduly taxed. There exists great inequality In the valuations of real estate, both as to different properties In the same wards, and as between wards compared with each other; and not unfrequent ly properties have been wholly omitted „- and then again the same valuations have been bontinned against the former owners of large lots, in the pro cess of sale for building lots, while the purehasere of these have paid a second tax on the same ground, Or have paha none. What oat-lots are meant to be taxed is sometimes unascertainable, and in this un certainty one must pay the tax of another, or incur the risk of having his property sold, though deed roue to find out and pay hie tax. It is a matter of surprise that we have "endured this Imperfeotand dangerous System so long, it system that may be Called which is so rife in error, apprehension of danger, and often erections lose to innocent owners, who have never had any notice of the charge made against their property, nor of the judgment, nor of the Sheriff's sale of it, until the time of redemption has' passed. The bills herewith presented will give in more de tail, and with greater accaracy, our views upon the Important subjects committed to our consideration. if our work should meet with sufficient favor, we would suggest that It be presented to the Loggisla ture In time for its actionat its prevent seseldn. The Commission report an act to be passed by the Senate and Rouse of Representatives. The first Section ptovidea that the Court of Com mon Pleas of Philadelphia county shall, once in every three years, before the time of the revision of the taxes for the succeeding year, and as often as vacancies shall occur, appoint two persons, deemed the most competent, who, with the senior City com missioner for the time being, shall compose the Board of Revision of Taxes of the county, a ma jority of whom shall be a quorum, who shall have the power to revise and equalize the assessments by raising or lowering the valuations, either in Indi vidual cases -or by wards, to rectify all errors, to make valuations where they have been omitted, and to require the attendance of the assessors, or other citizens, before them for examination on oath, or a Liirmation, either singly or together, with power to forfeit tile pay of assessors, rate ably to their annual Compensation, for each Cap's absence when their attendance le re quired ; and the said Board of Revision shall hear all the appeals and applications of the tax-payers, subject to an appeal from their decision to the Conn of Common Pleas of the county, whose decision Wall be final ; and if the appeal to the court shall be groundless, the appellant shall pay the costs of court.

The forty-second annual report of this institution seta forte the following fame of general interest : The duplication of the shares of stook has been ropy vindicated as a measure of policy by Its prac tical operation, and the evil!' feared by many as likely to ensue from It, in consequence of the great number of applicants tor desirable books, have been averted by duplicating the popular works as far as the demand required. This matter has called tor much care and attention, and the time Of a special committee has been very much engrossed in revising the catalogue, watching the demand for books, and ascertaining how best to supply the wants of the library. We think that a satisfactory result has been arrived at, and that the condition of the library la better now than it nee ever been before. As, the result of the duplication of the stook of the company, which was authorized in the year 1863, the accessions of new members have been be. you all precedent of former years, The number of members added by duplication of shares of stock is 2,646; by the conversion of serip, 168 ; by the sale of original shares at par, 62; making a total of 2,776 new stockholders—whioh added to the number of stockholders on December 81, 1863, (2,883), makes an aggregate of 5,609 stockholders. if to this we add the number of subeoribers (286), we have the whole number of persons entitled to the use of the library, 6,864. The result of this movement to duplicate the stook has been far more favorable to the library in every bearing of it than was anticipated by Its most san guine friends. Beside the Increase of members, it will be seen by the treasurer's report that the re. venue from stockholders during the year was nearly fourteen thousand dollars, or more than three times the average amount of the two preceding years. This increased revenue has rendered It possible, notwithstanding the largely increased cost of books, to add to the library a greater number of volumes than in any previous year. Theta additions were, by donation, 168 volumes ; by the binding of pert edieals, 160 volumes; by purchase, 4,855 volumes; total, 5,183. Of these about 850 volumes were Im ported directly from London. This, owing to the high rate of !sterling exchange, has added very muoh to the cost of books purchased. But the supply of late English books on our shelves, while other im portations have been so generally suspended, has been one of the attractive and valuable features of our library. The number of volumes belonging to the library at present Is about thirty-two thousand. Daring the year 1864 the number of volumes loaned from the library was 161,440. It appears that while the expenses of managing the library, and especially the salaries, have been steadily increasing, that in crease has not been at all proportional to the in crease of receipts. On the contrary, the per tentage of. the greet, income which has been ab sorbed in current expense', has been continually diminishing, while the per oentage of grors income which has been put Into books has been Increasing from year to year. A member of the library, desirous of evincing his appreciation of the benefits he derived in early man hood from becoming associated with it as a share• holder, and with a view to perpetuating its objects and purposes to the advantage of others, has donated it United States Government bond for ono thousand dollars, the Interest of which is to be e.p. plied to the future purchase of books. Wealthy re tired merchants may be induced to follow this ex ample daring life, or remember our association by a liberal testamentary bequest. The books thus purchased will have the name of the donor labelled upon them. The treasurer's report - shows the receipts for the year amounted to $21,821.65, to which add the balance on hand from previous year, $627.77, makes a grand total of $22,549.42. The total expenditures daring the year were $22,204 67, leaving a balance in the treasury of $844.75. The amount of money on hand to the credit or the building fund is $9,023.25. The company contemplates the erection of a fire proof building to accommodate thepatrons of the institution, and to obtain more room for the library. awn SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT. The semi-annual commencement of the Central High School took. place yesterday morning at the A‘acemy of Music. The crowd that usually attend at . the commencement was considerably smaller, owing to the almost impassable condition of the Meets. The parquet, parquet circle, and balcony were full, and the upper tiers had some occupants. The stage, which was prettily arranged with a draw bprOom scene, was occupied by the Malty Of the school, the graduating alms, members of the Heard of School UontroHera, members of Conn°ils, and other invited guests. The music was by the Ger mania orchestra. The exorcises opened with prayer by the Rev. T. Da Witt Talmadge. The introductory address, which was to have been delivered by Mr. Frederick A.

Trirll REBEL 18 81/11T TO TIIII BLOCICLIIY AL3I.BHOP3II. ' There la a 0181311 of people in South Carolina who live among the sand hills like beasts. They are re garded as "poor white trash" by the lords, dukes, and nobles Of that section of the country ; even the negro slaves treat them with Contempt. This they are taught to du by the "lords of the manor." It is very seldom that a "sand-hiller" reaches so far north as Philadelphia. Therefore swell an article Is a rarity In this city, and, as an event, possesses even more than local intoned at the present time. One of this class of animated nature, which approached to [something like a human being, made his entree at the Central Station, during the very inolement storm on Wednesday night. Yesterday morning early he was foundoolled around the floor-heater, in one corner of the room, near the door of entrance, and was likely to be struck every time the door was opened. Ito was filthy, ragged, wet and lousy, and a deep, hollow cough gave unm istakable evidence that consumption bad a mortgage on him. He was aroused from his recumbent position; and snob a. picture as he presented cannot very well be portray: ed on paper. in speaking of this man as we found him, we may say that he had long, sandy-look ing hair, and an enormous hirsute appendage tts match. His face was as umoh a stranger to a razor, and Ida hair to a tomb, as a Louisiana Topsy to her father or mother. in this superabun dance of whiskers and hair, matted together, his deep sunken,. glassy or whitish-blue eyes were placed. They had no expression, excepting as an index to the reality that they would soon be olosed In death's long sleep. His tattered garments be, epoke.likt poverty. He was an outcast from society. He felt himself such, and he deserved it all. He said his name was Mooney, but did not know how to spell it. He could neither read nor write, nor could be tell his name if he should see it writ ten. This fellow, now far gone into consump tion, volunteered early in MI in the rebel army, and was in active duty until October last, when he Sought refuge in the Union HIM confronting Petersburg, Virginia. He complained of the hardships In,the rebel army, because of the overbearing behavior of the officers thereof. This part of his statement may be all comprehended in the simple word " bosh." In the vigor of his man hood he shot down Union soldiers. He was on raids ; he kept. guard ; he lurked about seeking to murder those who had gone forth to battle for law and order ; be laid in ambush to perpetrate deeds of blood; to shoot down and rob the fathers, sons, husbands and brothers of the people of the North; he gloried in levelling his murderous Attie at the flag of the Union, and to shoot down Its gallant bearers ; but now the hand of death is upon him, and he Is mean and contemptible enough to seek refuge among those he has so foully wronged. Sympathy for seek a being Could not well be aroused, even among the most warm hearted. But it would not do to have the miserable being publicly exposed to view, and therefore, for decency sake, he was sent to the Biockly lmshouse although his presence there may detract from the superior dignity of the 'pee pers.

A regular stated meeting of both branches of City Councils was held yesterday afternoon. SELECT BRANCH. Mr. LYNI), president, in the chair. Mr MIN (O.) asked leave to read a resolution. The resolutioe was in regard to a bill introdeoed into the Legislature for the vacation of Montgomery street, be low Beach street, Eighteenth ward. It reonests the Governor to withhold his signature from the bill, as it will deprive the city of an annual income of $llO. He said he learned that a bill of this character bad Passed the Legislators. This property is occupied by Persons who own the adjacent property on both sides of' the streets. The vacation of this ground gives them property worth to the city at least SM.OOO. This looked to him verr mach like a Job, and he hoped some action would be immediately taken. The resolution pasted unaniMottelY. The report of the commissioners appointed under an ordinance to revise the laws relating to taxation was submitted. Accompanying the report were two bills to be submitted to the Legislature, should the Connote recommend their enactment into laws. One of these bills is entitled `` an act to promote the more certain and equal assessment of taxes in Philadelphia," and the other "en act relative to the assessment and col lectlon of taxes " The Committee on Girard Estates submitted an-ordi nance consenting to the assignment of a certain lege° of the Girard Coal Lands 1n Columbia and Schuyl kill counties. upon the nemesia $lO, WO.

Referred to the Committee on Girard Estates. Mr. Makers (0.) introduced a supplement to the ordi nance for the payment of bounties to volunteers, in creasing the bounty paid to two year recruits from $4lO 10000. He said his reason for offering this was that the draft was at our doors and a delay was cangeroms The navy recruits men only for two years, and as Mew Jersey pays $61.0, they are seeming all the naval re cruits, whits Philadelphia is notgetting a single man. He, in this bill, proposed to raise the present bounty for two years service $lO, making it $6OO, the came as paid in Blew Jersey Mr. ARMSTRONG (0. ) thought that members are deter- mined that "the pitughshars of conscription shalt en-- ter the subsoil," that ie. that the poorer classes shall be drafted and compelled to tight for those who are rich and can afford to stay at home. Mr. limo (0.) thou ht the people had sa ted upon this subject of bounties. The people had said bounties," and as helrae a representative man, he did not desire to vote against the will of the community. Mr. Zsie (U.). after some remarks, moved to amend by insetting " for three year's volunteers the rum of' ssoo.'Te amendment was voted down. Mr. Os ERLY ) moved further to amend by making the sum *NV for three year's MOLL This was finally agreed to, and the whole blil as amended plumed A resolution granting the United States Telegraph Company rermission to erect poles in certain streets Was presented by Mr. Gray. Mr. Alsrunin (U presented a bill to take possession cf the Northern Liberty Gas Works, and to create a loan therefor. The bill tea finally referred to the Committee on 6as. Mr. ARMSTRONG (0.) presented the following: WHEREAS, Select Council, at its meeting on the 2d of February, 1866. Peened resolutions protesting against the passage of a bill now before the Legislature of Pennsylvania, for the pnron ase by the city of Philadel phia of a lame piece of land on the west bank of the Schuylkill river, above the Wire Bridge, to be used by • the city of Philadelphia as a public park; and Whereas, As Select Council' pissed, in connection with said tesolutlon. a resolution providing for the ap pointment of a special committee of five members to proceed to Harrisburg, to further the object of the reso lution; and whereas, it has been the custom In all cor rect parliamentary railing. to appoint a committee ex clusively ;tom among the members known to favor the spirit and intentgot the resolution; and whereas, upon the passage of. the resolution above mentioned, the Pre sident of the Chamber appointed two members who were known by him and the members of this Chamber to be oproted to the resolution; therefore, Resolved, By the Select Council of the city of ,Pkdist ds Iphla, that the president of this Chamber, in the ap pointment of the special committee alluded to, of mem be s known to be opposed to the resolution., did so in violation of alt previous custom and of the clearly ex pressed cease of this Chamber Mr. Armstrong said they were all aware that the facts let forth by him in his preamble and resolutions were true. The bill alluded to is now on third read ing in the House at Barriaburg, and there is danger to the tax - payers of Philadelphia that title but wilt pass eventually. He thought, therefore, that Coun cils should show In reality that they were opporied to the bill. and that It was against their wish that mem bers in lave; . of the proposition should , ifs appointed on a commi ttee to protest against it.' He further understood that one of these two members, who was in favor of the bill, had an interview with a member of the Legislature, and impressed upon him the neces sity of passing the bill. using as an argument that he was one of the committee who, although appointed to protest against its passage , was yet in favor of it. Several members here.urged the postponement of any action upon the preamble and resolutions, as the P. est d_ent of the Chamber bad retired, leaving Mr. Freeman ) In the chair. ro this Mr. ARMSTRONG assented. Me.

The bill 'ltem Common Council offering a reward for the incendiary who Iced the coal oil sheds in the Second ward, was concurred in. By resolution. Professor Saunders was introduced, and made a live minutes' address relative to the draft. The Professor stated to the members that on Wednes day one hundred and ten men. were enlisted and ore s ited to the city. It had been said by members of Con greets and good military authority that if the districts in the city would furnish about twenty-Aye men per day we would not be called on by draft for the number of our deficiencies. He conceived the idea to petition to the Government to withhold the enforcement of the drat In the districts that may not be able to enlist twenty-five men per due. He hadiembmitted the fol lowing letter to Mayor Henry, to which the tatter ge. fired his signature. It is addressed to the Secretary of War, arc reads as follows: • It is believed that from draftier, In all the districts of Philadelphia, the average number of daily reunite would' not exceed one hundred and twenty five men. The undersigned on behalf of the city of Po Itadelphla , reeipeelfally solicit the Government to delay drafting in. any of Its districts, so long, at least, ea the aggregate enlistments of the city shall average that number daily, believing that the public interest will thus be better subeerved than by forced additisns to the army.

ROSILNUARTEN, The Chamber approved of the above, and requested the President to add his signature The bill from Common Connell providing for the ringing of the State House and Church bells on the 224 of Febt us Ty In honor of the passage of the amendment to the Constitution. was read. Mr. HOPKINS (0 ) hoped that no such resolution would mass. Not one word is said In this resolution about Wm/deg - ton, the father of his country. Would you have a negro jollification on the birth-day of that-great man? These people are becoming unbearable. Not con tent eclat having separate passenger railway oars set apart for them they are endeavoring to occupy places with the whites. The bill from Common Council discharging the Com mittee on Finance from any further consideration of the bill limiting the debt of the city of Philadelphia to $46,- tOO,OOO was called up.

Zrror to District Court of Philadelphia county. ()PINION BY bTRONO, J. —The plaintiff sued for an in jury to himeelf and property, sensed, as he alleged, by the negligence of the defendants It was the result of a collision. The accident occurred at the intersection of the defendants' railroad with Dauphin street, along whichthe plaintiff, at the time, was driving a horse, attached to a covered wagon. At the crossing a regular passenger train on the railroad same into contact with the horse and wagon, in consequence, as Sias averred, of the carelessness of the defendants' agents. Whether tt one was each carelessness was sub mitted to the jury, and of the mode of submission there la no complaint. But the contest in the court below in volved also-the inquire how far. if at all, the negligent conduct of the platutill had contributed to the hart sus tained by him There was evidence that as be ap- Preached the crossing of the railroad he was seated far back in his covered wagon, with the curtains down (mixed); that the curtains were tight, though there was a small glass window on each side, and that a per son com.ng down Dauphin street, in the direction in Which be came, could here seen the railroad track, had he looked out, for from seventy t, seventy-Ave yards from its interiew.ion with Dauphin street. Each evi dence justified the defendants In proposing their points to the cent t, the lint of which wt.lsl l4 . i s follows: That " duty it hs the of a traveller ap king a railroad creasing to look along the line o the railroad and see if any train is coming; and if the jury believe the plaintiff failed to take such aprecaution he was guilty of negligence, and cannot recover in this suit. " This point the court answered by saying: " Tale is.one of the reasonable precautions a man is bound to use, and its absence is evidence of neglect."- Tule was not a full answer to the point. The court conceded that looking out for the approach of a train is a duty, when a tra veller is about to cross a railroad track, but instead of charging the Day that failure to look out is negligence. instructed them that it was evident* of negligence. This was not all the defendants asked, nor all they were entitled to have. Absence of such a precaution was more than evidence of negligence; it was negligence it self and ihwas such as may have contributed directly Willie injury, for the uncontradicted evidence was that the plaintiff drove hie horse and wagon slowly upon the track in front of the passing locomotive. If he did this without looking along tie track, te.tteted without any precaution against a known danger, and he was not em titled to recover if his want of precaution contributed to his hurt. That what constitutes negligence In a particular case is generally a question for the Jury and not for the court, is undoubtedly tine, and this b ecause negligence is want of ordinary care. To determine whether there has been any involves, therefore, two inquiries,: First, whet would have been ordinary care under the Minim stances ; and second, whether the conduct of the person Merged with negligence came up to that standard. In mint cases the standard Is variable, and. it tenet be found by a jury. lint when the standard Ia Axed. where the measure of duty is defined by the law, entire emission to perform it in negligence. In sack a case the jury have bat one of these Inquiries to make. They have only to find whether he upon whom the duty rests has performed it. If he has not, the law Axes the sha racier of his failure, and pronounces it negligence. Of this there are many illustration". Now that It le the duty of a traveller when approach ing the Intersection of a railroad with a common high way to look cut for approaching trains or engines, the court below asserted more than once, and correctly. Thai standard of duty is Axed by the saw At the place of intersection there are concurrent rights. Neither the traveller on the common high Way nor the railroad com pany has an exclusive right of passage. Even on a common toad travellers must look out for the approach of other vehicles passing. And this le the more neces sary at a railroad crossing, because movement upon inch a road is more speedy, and because the conse quences of a collision are nettally so disastrous. Pre caution, looking out for danger, is, therefore, a duty. It was well said In Reeves vs. The Delawa re and Lack ay at a Railroad Company. 6 Cesey. 46h: ' . The travel ler has the bligation of prudence npon him ; he is bound to stop and look out for trains, and may not rush need lessly, or remain unnecessarily in a snit over which the law allows engines of fearful power to be propelled." Rot looking for a coming train is not merely ao imperfeot performance of duty; It la an entire fainter of perform. once. Had the court been asked to declare fatittre to look on; until the plaintiff was within a certain dis tance of the intersection to be negligence. the case would have been different. That was the state of facts In 'Pennsylvania Railroad Company vs Ogler, U Ca sey, 611 Then It would necessarily have beenlor the Jury to determine what degree of vigilanse he should have exercised. But not looking at all is an entire ab • sense of vigilance. We think, therefore, the court should have 'regraded the r cry that it was negligence itself, and not merely evidence of it from which they might or might not find it This would have left to them to find whether the plaintiff had lookedfor a train, and if he had not, whether hisneglect to look had been a contributing carve of the injury he had received.
