Thio cigara he carried in bis arms, but the liquor o put where Le -thought it "would do the most good.—that s to say, in his stomach. Thence tho fames sped to his Lead, and when he was firat scen by officer Barry, who arrested him, he was - veinly endesvoring--to- balance the pile of cigar-boxes which the eccentric motiona of: his body finally threw upon_tho sidewall. At this moment Barry arrested him-and took him to the station, The saloon-keeper recognized the articles stolon, and tho Justice heid. tho prisoner to tho Griminal Court in ‘boads of $1,000.

The rivalry of 'bus and car drivers ia some- thing which enlivens the great psasenger- thoroughfares in & manner which the passen- gers can bardly consider picasant. The corner, of Madizon and State stréets is all day long made hideous by the discordant screams of those op- osition fare-gatherers, ** Yero's yer stage to Vi i the way to Western avingnue for 6 cents;” ehonts the ’bus-driver, whils the hoarse voice of the -conductor, - aided Dy that of his discordant driver, and -the gong which he tugs at inéessanily, remind the long- suffering public that “ there'is alwaya room for one more ingide" in the car. It is‘at the mo-' ment of starting, howevyer, that the pandemo- ninm is at its height in tais favored locality. At 6 in tho evening it is common:to ses two West Madison streev cars, two West Madison streot stages, n gimilar number of Blue Ieland avenuoe cars and stages, and a'couple of Ogden avenue 'buses crammed on the corner, and wait- ing for patronage. At the moment of starting, the Madieon sireeb car-conductor finds that the hind wheel of tho Plue Island avenue stage ox- tends over the sacred track of tho West Bide Car Company. This caunses xvnilhufv of oaths from the car-conductors, and the wi nngi:lg of all the car-gongs combined. Tho Blua-laland ’pup-driver explsins {hat Le cannot budge an inch until - the West 8ide bus-driver moves his 'bus out of the way. - This the latter will not do until he has collected "at least four moro fares. Then, oamid the swexring - and ong-ringing, the car-conductcr .steps own, and takea the 'bus-driver's number, and threatens to pull him off the top of his old “* bread cart,” which cansea the latter to indulge in the Percival Kcene Masonic sign of hand to nose and fingors extended. At last the jam is removed, and, beyond the profana chaff which is bandied between " driver and driver as either ve- hicle passes the other, the journey is condncted in peaco. As tho resultof an unpleasantness which he bad ‘bad with a car-conductor, Jahn Thersin, a ’bus-driver, wes yosterday brought before Justice Beully. Tke charge against him was _of obstructing street-cars, but the Justice took a good, common-sense view of the case, and discharged the prisoner. == it S Ehamen ::fx.l er spending & Dight in ‘thé jury-room and deiborsting np%n the :guilt or innocence of James R.

AIBCELLANEOUS. In United States Commissioner Hoyne's office the only business of importance done was the remsnding of C. 0. Perrine, the Loney-man, to the dsy when the Grand Jury might be able to decide upon the allegations of Ar. Spada. Officer ‘Gillard, of the First Precinct, found some boys in an alley at the rear of No. 512 ‘Wabash avenue, acting in & suspicions manner, and carrying an apparently heavy bundle. He chased_the boys, who dropped their load snd escapod. The bundle contained about 100 pounds of printers’ type, and awaits & claimant at the station on Son:h Clark street.

Joseph O: Glover sppearing .for ‘the Unitod States, and Mr. Glassner for. the defendant. Tho evidence adduced was insufficiont to suatain the charges, and the accused was thereforo dis- charged by the Commissioner. A young man named Paul Koch, in the em- E}oy of Beliott & Kessler, druggists, at No. 219 orth avenue, committed suicide some time Wednesday night, by taking a doso of morohine. He was discovered in his room at an early hour yeeterday morning, and all efforts to revive him proved unavailing.

THE BURDEN OF TAXATION. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : 3 The above heading is the univorsal wail at the present time, and the oppression frot that causs s enncting more discontent in the State than anything that has happened for half-a-century. Instances are not rare in this vicinity whers one- fourth, and even one third, of a man's eatire in- come, is required to meet the demands of the Tax-Collector. -Astate of things perhaps un- paralloled in any otber nation upon the face of the earth ; and which forces the conciusion apon thé°people that sélf-government is a costly ex- poriment, and alao ‘excites their fears that tha taper of Communism is- lighted here at both ends, from _which a division of property will soon be had. The following remarks to the writer by one of our oldeat and mosi respected citizens indicate tho feeling now prevalent un- Ger the opprassions to which they are subjocted. - After reciing with what devotion he had npheld the = principles .of .Bepublican government throughont & long life, ho said that he was re- luctantly compelied to confess that popnlar gov- omment was a delusion. An utterance which he would have regarded 24 worsq than treason twentyyearaago. - -t s In there no remedy for such a stata of things ? Or shall we, like Ben Butler with the Bepublican party, **be forced to abandon the ship and take to the boats™? _Cannot the American - people devise some plan whereby to raise arevenue leas obuoxions to the taxpayers and not s inquisi- torial as the present system ? Thoss who have read the interesting letters In TrE TRIBUNE from the Hon. J. Medill, while in England, upon tho subject of taxation, cannot bt contrast the difference of the two countries in their .todes 6f sssessing property. In En- gland, all property .is ‘ass ‘upon its produc- tive value, or from the income derived there- from, which surely is the correct basia of' all taxation, Our system of sssessment and equali- zation, both county and Btato, is far from being eatisfactory to the people, as the values of prop- erty in the the samo-township are often notori- ously unequal after.esid Boards bave passed upon them.
