Hoat & few days since, praying fur the repeal of the act exempting churea ant school property in the District of Uolumbia trom taxation, and which was referred to th: District Committee, was referred to a sab-com mittee consisting ot Messrs. Heud.e, Leach, ant Lotiand. This pe c 23 many thousan | signatures of persous in «Il parts of the Uulou, includ'ng the District of Columbia. It repre sents that the act exempting church and scuo property trom taxation ts at variance with th piri, if not the let w the coustitation of the United States, whic vides that “Congress sali make no’ law r- pectng an establishment or religion; tha ais ce the exemption from taxation ot churcho- parsonages, ecclrsiastical houses and sectarla schools in the District of Columbia is precise + equiya’ent in effect to a direct appropriation vy Congress for their support, the petitioners conceive this measure to violate what all the ex; ounders of the constitution declare to ba been its manitest intent aud design: viz., tosey: 4)! religious organizations from any connection with or dependence upon the clyil govern- tment, except for equal and impartia! protection They further represent that the tax is anjast ard that the non-taxation of church property is tending to the same results here as elsewhere, since, while the number of churches in the United States was not doubled between 1350 anit 1s70, the value of church property during the seme peried was qaadrupled, advancing from $87,325,801 to $354,583,551. At the same rate its value in 1800 will be over 81.413,000,003; and such rapid accumulation of wealth in eoclest astical bands ls most perilous to civiland re- ligious liberty. The committee have also ad- dressed a communication to Gov. Shepher! asking information (1) as to the extent of prop- erty held by churches and public schools in the District; (2) the value thereof; (3) the amoant of tax which will be derived from this property if taxed—stuting the two kinds of propsrty sep- arately, (4) Low much church property not ac- tually occupied by churches and school houses, but which is neverthelsss exempt; (5) any geu- eral views on the subject which his experiences may suggest.
