Que woud sappose thaceven @ modicum of common sense, withou! the slightest legal acumen, would have sufficed to interpret that passage, whea real by | 48 famuiar as the District attorney wit execrable assessment frauds, as the ex- pression of the peed not ouly of legislation, ut also of administrative relief from those illegal excesses of taxation which have well nigh impoverished this people. Recent dis- coveries by the Commissiouers of the gross- | est frauds, as wellas most glaring errors in | of the old special assessments for im ements in this District, show conelasive- ly the need of such legislation as will not only afford relief, bat wil! reader sact ex | cessive and fraadulentassessments no longer possible. Iam not “opposed to the enforce. ment of the tax laws of the District,” I am uncompromisingly oppo ei to aoy tem that will render uals people, and also to some extent tue United States Weasury, the by |pless prey of unscrupulous cormorants. our malcontents under Mr. Birney’s leadership seem to unite asin a refrain, 1s to the effec that I bave ‘removed faithfal and compete men trom office, because they were unl rea! jy to Jona’han Taylor.” Tae 7s of this charge (as of ail mentioned in the sy bi fore me) happen to be the discharge themselves. and can searesly be regirde | as lmpartial judges of their own fidel ty cotpetency. Tne alleged mysierious ence is so eptirely new to my co'leagues, as well as to myself, that we are utterly ata loss to know where the silly sugg-stio 1 em s- DALES, AS DOE Of Us Ever Spoke to Taylor, or he to us, respecting the removal of any 0128 in the service of the District, nor dil any thought of him ever enter my brain, how- ever 1! may have been a fizmeat of sh? brain of these a dented in this d publicly sustained those Tees. As an illastratios of ihe facts Ua at cite the following respecting Wm. Biraes My information is that his appointment as Astisiant District Alorney was on the 7a July, 74, and that only two days thereat the 9h @ July, 184, ae became the altorn for the Wa- ington market company, waica bas ever since been one of the pariies having constant business relations with the Distr er government, and being indeed one of its chief litigants; Wm. Birney, as he admits having received besides the salary of himself and lately of his son (in the District Attor- nty’s office) two thousand dollars (#2 000) each as a retainer from the market compa vy. Lam not now desiguing any criticism of the market heey org but simply mes the dual relatious beld by the attorney, an the re arkeb y significant coincidence of th» almost simultaneous date of the twoappoint mints. It seems also that when consulted by citizens concerning their affairs witn the District, he would occasionally, and without the kvowledge of the Cow missioners, ask and receive fees from citizens so applying. Among those who have had occasion to know experimentally of such un) fession al conduct, I may refer to Dr. itehie, of Georgetown; to the Analostan Bow Club, and to Mr. George Cumberland. By state Ment and affidavit, itappears that bota the latter parties applied to the District aathori- ties (as such) for the privilege of using a Space on the water frout. The boat ciubd committee was referred by the Commission- ers to the assistant attoroey, Wm.

He is a poor man, and, at the suggestion of one of oar prominent citi- zens, called only a few months siuce on the same District Attorney to ob'ain a perailt to oceppy a very small space ou the river fron’ for a boat-house, in which he might hire ou. boats.
