The Auditor of Illinols, in his roport, ox- plaing o possiblo complication from which certpin necounts have to bo extriented, but how it is to bo done he does not scem to understand. In making the levy for 1878, the rate nmeoded to produce tho required revenue wns 29 conts on tho $100. Tho Auditor found thet the nssessed valuo of taxables in certnin towns naud counties owing reilrogd-nid debt was §320,000,000 in excess of what it was in 18685 that under the tax grabbing law of 1869 the Stato tax on this oxcess was to bo applled to tho payment of Ilicso debis, thereby cansing n deficioncy in tho Stato revenue, Under these circum- stances lio ndded T ceuts on tho $100 to the lovy, making 86 eents per §100 tho rate for tbhat yoar. Tho Suprome Court, in tho ecase’ of Raweuy os Iorank, de- cided that so mmeh of tho act of 1800 ns required {his inmcreaso of ion to meob tho deficiency caused by tha diversion of tho State revenue to the pay- mont of loenl debis was void, This Qécision was filed June 19, 1874, prior to which timo a lnrgo part of the State tax had been colleet- «d, including the ndditional 7 conts per 100, In somo counties tho wholo was paid; in others, the full rate was paid only on s part; insomo countics the Collector paid over to {110 Stato what he had collected, and in others Lo was cnjoined from so paying, and the 10ney remains in the Collectors’ nands, This necount now stands Conts, conniasions, etc, Total.. 45 Loaerens S00,505.00 Now what ig to be dono with this $430,000 actunlly collected and in tho Stato Tressury, ond what is fo bo done with the $267,000 collected but in tho hands of the Collectors? The levy was clemly illegnl and void, but what is to bo done with tho money? It real- 1y belongs to the individuals who paid it. TIE WEST INDIANA STEEET RAILWAY, The fnn‘.[s in relation to the proposition to laya horse-raiiway track on Wost Indinua streok which has been vejected by tho Common Coun- oil, aro thoso : Tho peoplo Inhabiting tho largo triangular dwstrict bounded by Lake, Halated, and Miliwaukee nvenuo linve long folt the necersity for o borao-railway running through it, the lines now operated boing along the bouudaries. West YTudiana atreet bus beon agreed upon by common ronsent of tho citizons and tax-payerd us the most desirablo and coulral, nnd the West Chica- o Biilrond Company finally but reluctantly ngreod that, if tho privilega wero grantod them, thoy would Jay tho track. But not boing axiovs to do it, =8 thoy thivk tho’ invesi~ wment will bo unprofitable for a timo, they deolined to Bpend auy monoy to sccuro s franchise. ‘Tho roilrord compavy gavo notica £> tho proposty-holdors that thoy wwould nol pay ono dollar for an Alderman’s vote, and if tho house-holders wanted tho railroad they must got tho ordinanca passed without blackwmail, The action of {ho Council Monday night showa that it is doubtfal if this can over bo done. » Tho contrast between tho action of the Com- mon Council in regard to this proposed railway {8 in gloring contrast with that 1n regurd to tho Wabash Avenue Railway & week ago. In the Inttor caso thero wero several propositions, and the Council prompily gave the right-of-way to 1ho only company which did not offer the city any considoration for the franchise. In tho prosent case, however, tho citizons wantod tho horsg-railway, end the company was willing to build it if the Common Council wouid graut tho right-of-way.

All theso Aldormen, with ono or two excep- tions, do not resida anywhere near the proposod line of tho railroad, and do ‘not represent paoplo who can posibly be affected byt oue way or the other, Wo havono doubt that some of thoso who voted for tho proposition did so simply be- causo thoy wero ashamed to stultify thomuclves by opporing this woritorious ,schomo aflter sup- porting tho Wabash avenue job; aud It s dikely that somo of thoso who voted in tho nogative did #0 on account of the public indignation at their votes for tho Wabash road, Bat thoro aro grounds for tho suepicion thet others voted against it simply bocauso thoy bad not beon “geon,” nnd thelr support eocured for 1t by = valuablo consideration. It is timo for the pooplo to ascortain whether 1t ia impoasiblo to get auy meusure through tha Common Council on ita own merits. The lato experionce with tho Baltimoro & Ohio waiting- rooms iu the Exposition Building, with the Wa- bash Avenue Reilroad, snd now with tho West Indiana stroet propogition, would seom to indi- cate as much. But certain membors of the Conncil may tako notico in this case, ab loast, that there will bs no money forthcoming; so that, if thoy hated to ‘recommit the ordinanco with the Liopo that anybody would **whack up," tboy will discover thoir error, TPerhops, if thoy onco becanio gatisfied with this, thoy will gra- sionsly pormit tho housc-boldors of West Tu- dinna end the ndjoining atraats to have their own way. Tho simplo fack Is, that tho Wost Bido Company Lave agreed to lay a track in this atreet ag far ss Westorn avenue noxt spring,—a ilistance of tivo miles, if thoy got tho right-of- way, but that thoy aro not anxious enough for it 1o buy avy votos, 1t this considoration will {n- duco auy Aldermen to change their minds, well and good ; if not, it 8 consoling to Luow that thoy will got no money in this caso, Bpoaker Braine mado a great mistako in not being o cundidate for tho United States Sennto against Benator TIamuy, whose worn-oub in- iluonce faily to savo Lim from Lo opposition of ihe Republican pross of thoentira Stato, Astho Portlund Advertiser and meny of ko Republicsa papors of tho Stato hold, .
