Ifsueh ts the case why is it they do not collect the license tax according to the old law, and maze ali that did not p fore the 12th of July pay now, as they pre no More ¢xempt from the ist to the 12th of Jo! than those that paid. Do the Commission- €rs intend to make fish of one and flesh of Another by such adecision? Have we that Paid the license got to pay the personal tax On the same property? TAX-PAYER AND SURSCRIBER. THE EXPLANATION. ‘We would state for the toformation of “Tax-Payer and Subseriber” and others who may bave paid for their Mcense and now bave to pay their personal tax that the yearly licenses for carts, wagons, drays, &c., expired on the Seth of June, and, as has been the usual custom, the police notified the own- €rs to renew the same.

The question of refunding to those who had already paid for their jicenses arose be- tween the parties interested aud the coliec- tor, by whom it was submitted to the Dis- trict Commissioners, who at onc? recognized its equity, in which view of the case the attorney for the Distriet concurred, but when the claims for drawback reached the Audltor be ceciiped to recognize ail which bad been paid between the Ist and 12ib of July on the grounds that the money hai been legally coliected. and that no provisioa id been made In the law for refunding sach monies.

Open the Capitol on Sunday to Oar Centen i Visitors. itor Star: In view of the large number of visitors in our city, going to and returaing from the Centennial Exposition, and as many of them remain over here during San- day, it occurred to me this morning that it would be a good ides to open the Capitol on that day, and thereby give them an op- portunity of viewing one of the noblest structures on earth. Perhaps tne larger Portion of those who are now visiting us caily from all sections of our country may never again have achance to repeat thelr visit; hence nothing should be left un- done to afford them every opportunity to see the points of interest in ‘ashington. Tae ®riter has seen many of the strangers, on Sundays, trying to obtain admittance: to the Capitol, but owing to the order requiring It to be closed on that day they, of course, could not be admitted. This matter may have escaped the attention of the Hon. J. R. French, rgeant-at-Arms of the Senate, ps, 18 the only one in the city t in the matter. From what I have seen of his kind efforts in behalf of Strangers and others visiting the Capitol. I feel assured that he will give his attention to this subject. Again, I ask, can not the Capitol be opened on Sundays uatil the Cen- tcunial Exposition 1s closed? ie en TITIVE TRIAL OF FIRE ENGINES f CENTENNIAL.—The general pro gramme for the trial of competing fire en- fit es and apparatus at the Centennial exbi-. bition at Philadelphia, on Monday nex shows that !t will be a very interesting oce. on.

On the fourth day the engines Wiil be tested by three runs over a course o: at least @ mile, to be fixed by the judges each run to be followed by a play of not less then thirty minutes, in which, with the ex cepUon of leading hose, nothing shallhe used that hes not been earried over the course Engineers and assistants must maze the tripa op the engines, —— List OF PATENTS !ssued to residents of the Distriet of Columbia, Maryland acd Vir- ginia for the week ending August 29th, 1576: District of Columbia.— George F.
