Chronicle... 5,008 * Intelligencer... 3,552 * —_—__+<0e->-—___ THE SANITABY ChgprTION OF WASHING- The Repudlichn—for some reason not exactly | Apparent on the surface but to be guessed at— has a panicky article upon the sanitary condi- tion of the city, which is most unfounded, and is calculated to do the city serious prejudice, | We believe that too great vigilance cannot be urged upon both officials and citizens in re- moving every possible cause of disease, but at the same time it is deing great injustice to our city officials, our Board of Health, and our Sanitary Police. toso completely ignore their Iabors and to assert so recklessly that the city “was never in a more filthy condition since it ‘Was incorporated.” The very reverse of this is true, as is knewn to every person at all fa- miliar with the history of this city. The Board of Health has recently been reorganized, it is well known, with earnest efficient workers as its members, who have been zealously en- gaged in ferreting out and causing the remeval of all deleterious substances. The Sanitary Police. 8 feature of the new Metropolitan Po- lice, bave been aetive in enforcing health regu- iatiogs. and the municipal authorities, it is also well known, bave been moving so effi- ciently in the same direction as to call down upon them the objurgations of numerous in- dignant householders who have fancied them- rfully insulted and abused by the monious visits of inquisitorial health er= wpon their premises. The introduc. tion ef the Potomac water has also proved an auxiliary im cleaning the city. With cies at work. under the spur of ap- nded disease, the city—it may safely be asserted—is now im & cleaner condition than ever before in its history, although, of course, much remains to be done to make its sanitary condition all that could be desired. IMPORTANT DECISION. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has recently made the following decision with reference to the deduction of real estate taxes from ineome «That such taxes are deductible from in- come only, when they are assessed ratably that is, where each person subject to the tax is » proportion to the ralue of his property. where the expense of improve- assessed at a certain sum per front foot, or upon any other basis than the ralwe of the tax-payers property, the assessment cannot be aliowed as a deduction from mcome.” Tse Cnorer, tN New York York Herald, of yesterday, says Various rumers were in circulation yester- aay re veto the increase of cholera, but, with three exceptions, there was no founda. tion for the reports.

The Superintendent of Freedmen’s Affairs in Montgomery County, Md., informs the As- sistant Commissioner that he was notified by the teacher of a colored school at Rockville, shat she would be obliged to close the school on the 22d instant, owing to th@ inability of the people to support it. The Assistant Commis- sioner has directed a school to be established at Rockville, at the commencement of the Sep- tember term, under the auspices of some one of the benevolent freedmen’s aid societies act- ing in connection with the Freedmen’s Ba- Teau. POPLAB GROVE CEMETERY The National Cemetery recently begun on the Vaughn road, four miles from Petersburg, Va., and in the rear of Fort McKeene, which is to be called the Poplar Grove Cemetery, Will, it is stated, contain the remains of about fifteen thousand men, and will possess some highly interesting features.

We are glad to state that the illness of Secre- tary Stanton is not so serious as was at first supposed to be from the indications. Since Saturday last he has continued to improve, and to-day was sufficiently recovered to spend a few hours at his official dudes.

Adopted Mr. ‘oop pr ae & petition from men ofthe igt Michigan cavalry, who sta! that they were mustered out of the service in Utab, and bad to return home at their own ex. pense. They ask to be reimbursed for the cost Of chis transportation. Referred to the Uom- mittee on Military Affairs Mr. Poland called up the bill pending tor some time to allow claims for $500 and less for stores furnished to the army to be settled by the quartermaster without bemmg taken to the Court of Claums. The pending question was upon the amend- ment of Mr. Hendricks to provide for payment for stores taken by others than officers baying written authority to take them Mr. Hendricks, after discussion, withdrew his amendment, remarking he would offer something of like purport at the next session of Cor Mr. Sprague moved to so amend the bill as to make the Secretary of War and not zhe quartermaster or commissary general the accounting officer in the claims referred to Mr. Howard said the bill was very sweep- ing and would ee od aon outlay. Heasked it the Committeeon the Jndicx: bad inquired how much money would would be taken out of the Treasury under this bill. Mr. Poland said the committee had not made the inquiry. No matter what the amount was, he thought the Government ought to pay it. It only contemplated the payment o; loyal men. Mr Howard hoped the bill would not pass. The seizure of y in the South was one of the necessities of the war, und the laws of war and the laws of nations compelled rebel communi ies as well as rebels to pocket their losses. It was vain to expect that the loyal people of the Wnited States would bear any part of such losses. Mr. Trumbull said be would oppose as strongly as Mr. Howard the payment of rebels, but he would not oppose the payment of loyal men, and only such were proposed to be paid by this bill. Mr. Howard said he was opposed to paying anybody in the rebel States, loyal or disloyal. Mr. Trumbull thought # Joyal man in the South ought to be paid even more promptly than a Joyal man in the North. - Mr. Howard said that by solemn acts of Congress the eleven Sintes of the South had been declared enemies of the United States. There was no case in history im which a suc- cessful invading party had paid for stores taken from an enemy. Mr. Trumbull said he had never heard be- fore of a statute of the United States declaring the people of the South public enemies. He had never voted for Such a bill. He had yoted for s bill declaring certaim States to be in in- surrection, but not declaring the inhabitants of those States, one and all, to be public ene- mies. Mr. Wilson said that under the pending bill every man in the South would prove his loy- ality. and the effect would be to take a great many million dollars out of the Treasury.
