The recommendation wus udopted.

The 'Commissiouers are loth to say what will be done, but it is strongly inferred that ono or two of the three will go, and perhaps all.

Sowe of the Natlonal baonks are zrumbling about their persupal-property taxes, althougn Assessor Drake wa very kind to them. Under the luw, the realty of a bank should be assessed against it, aud tha capital stock assessed against the individuul bolders. As the lauer, bowever, cannot be reached. it is the custom to require the banks to pay the takes on the shares, the oSicors deducting tho smount from the dividends. Mr. Drake, in making the South- Town nssessment, did not enter up ngainst 1no banks all of their property, but_based his tigure3s matnly on the capital siock. Hence the bubbub.

Thisis the case in Philadelpbia, Pittsburg, Alle- gheny City, Hurrisburg, Reading, Chester, and others. In Philadelphia three general oiticers areto be gh-c:ed.—me Alayor, Solictor, and Receiver ot Taxes,—and, besides, nine members of Select Council, forty-eight mnem- bers of Common Council, and a large part of the Boards of Dircctors, The contest for the thiree general offices ‘is now defined, thero being only two candi- daty for each in the field.

But, at the same time, a AMayor who has served three terms has nee- essarily exhausted the patience of other as- pirants for the place, has made enewmies of huudreds of dismissed policemen, and of- fends now against that unwritten out well- defined rule of *turn-ubout” whieh lies deep in the heart of the Awerican voter.
