Tho difienity of tho situntiou was fn- creased by tho orabarrassments of private indl- viduals, arlsing from logsos by the firo and the do- struction of valuos, avd of industries cnused by the paulc of 1873, aud the uuwiso action, or non-action, of Congroks respecting the currency. All thego causes combined hiave delayed the col- lection of & considerable part of tha city rove- nuos of tho past two years. We have aver $1,250,000 of ths taxos suspend- od in tho Supromo’ Court.

This samo case had given the investigator possoesion of the papyrus scrolls which woro ENTOYDED WITR TITE MUMNAIES, and had thus proserved the important records of facts which wouold otherwise have passed away catiraly.
