Great efforts have been made by persons of in- fluence, including certain Senators, it is said, to in- duce the administration to take notice offi- cially of Mr. Muruaga’s challenge to Mr. Corcoran. Up to the present time the government has wisely sbtained from interfering in the quarrel, remem- bering, probably, the recent case of a fast young American Secretary of Legation (Mr. Soulé) chal anging a grandee of Spain, the Duke of Alva. The Spanish goverument did not interfere, but the Duke fought the Secretary. Mr. Muraaga is Secretary of Legation, aud may any day, by the absence or death of Mr. Tassara, be Minisister, and is therefore en titled to some consideration though he may be a foreigner. The account of the affair, as first pub- lished in the Hera, is minutely correct.

The Dudley Observatory Quarrel, Axsayy, July 13, 1868. A meeting of those disapproving of the course o the majority of the trustees of the Dudley Observa- tory, was held here this evening. 1t was very large and entbusiastic. General Stephen Van Rensselaer presided, and B. P. Learned, Esq., was chosen Se- cretary. Professors Henry and Bache addressed the meet- ing, defending Professor Gould and the Scientific Council from the aspersions of the trustees, and were Porpmonpegg thy sone by the audience. At the close of Professor B.’s remarks, which occupied nearly two hours, Hon. D. D. Barnard brief; addressed the meeting, and stated that, disgracefu they aid'uot aduit of galtasy. The history given not admit 3 e ry given by " profeaneesElane and Bache was true—there could be no doubt of it in any one particular. Mr. Barnard then proceeded to speak of Professor Bache, and in most eloquent language al- juded to his services in the cause of science, and spoke of bim as a man who stands as an astronomer without a superior in the wide world. The motives of the trustees who ‘had deter- mined to dismiss Dr. Gonld are not known, neither will they be if the trustees can prevent it. He claimed that before Dr. Gould came to this city it was decided by the aforesaid majority that he should be removed, and after he came here they concluded to starve him out. He pronounced the statement prevented by Mr. Olcott, President of the Board, and published in the papers, to. be a most deli- berate attempt to strike down Dr. Gould and destroy his character and reputation. He bad never known such yer! to emanate from any man of respectability. It was disgraceful and disgusting, Could the trustees expect apycnenn man to come and take charge of the Observa' after the indignity and msult offered to Dr. Gould. No man would so dishonor himself. Mr. J. P. Pru» then moved the appointment of a committee of five to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, and Messrs. J. B. Plumb, Orlando Meads, Dr. Thomas Hun, James Edwards — Benjamin Tibbitts were appointed such com- mittee. ‘The committee retired, and after a brief delibera- = reported the following, which were unanimously adopted:— Broatved, That we feol compelled from « sense of pub- lie duty, to deciare ip this pubse mauner tbat we entirely Oweprrove apd condemn ihe proceedings and action of the majority of the trustees of Lae Dudiey Onservatory, ip reation both to the Director, Dr. Gould, and to the Scientific Council.

To THe Honoranix Tax Common Councii— Gxarixwen—fne resolutions which apenas re. ‘bonog able body, one remitting the tax of William H. ash, for teventy-dollars and fifty-three centa, for the year 1866; enother remitting persoval tax for the year )57, agaivet Hasbrouck, Lynes & Case, and the other reducing tho valuation on property of the New York and New Orieans Steamsbip Company, for the year 1866, from three bun- dred and sixty thousand to two hundred thousand doliars, are berewnh returned, with my objections. I: appears, from ap examivation of the pape matter cf the tax of William H. Ash, that the bills for taxes of 1856 have been pald; one inst him, individa ally. amounting to $34 57, and the for $69 15 against the firm of Richarde, Kingsland & Co, of which he was @ mewber. Mr. Aeb, at the time the tax was imposed, was 8 non-resicent of thin city. He paid bis tox, however, not being aware at the ime, thatone hed been laid on the above pamed firm. Under tnese circumstances it would, po doubt, be proper and just that the amount paid by him should be refunded; but your resolution, instead 0! pro. vieing for this, directa the amount of the tax paid by the firm, $69 15, and interest added, making $79 63, be re- paid to bim. Mr. Asb only asks that his individual tax, paid by himself, be |. I would, therefore, recom- 0 that your resolution be accordingly amended. Te the case of Messrs. Hasbrouck, Lynes & Case the cnly reaeon alleged is that they are ipsoivent. [ cannot see why the Corporation should pot be entitled to the tame ‘of payment on their debts as their other creaitors, or even why any portion of the tax should be rem The New York and New Orleaus Steamship Company claim areduction of the valuation of their property on the ground of an evers'ght at the time the amount of their | stock wes returned to the Tax Commierionors. On referring to @ copy of the pripted statement, filled ia Dy the secretary of this company, and upon which state. ment tl were assessed, it that ite Loe item capital stock of the raid company, the sum of three hundred and sixty thourand dollars is placed; thet no. thing thereof was paid for rea! estate, none of it held by the or by any other incorporated company, and that there were Do sur? lus profits or roservea funds exceed- ing ten per cent of the enid capital. ‘be ninth rection of the ect of July 21, 1853, in relation to the asversment of texes on com) and the ccmmutation cr coltection thereof, and which has par- | ticular bearing ip this case, is 08 foliows:— | Section 9. If the president, or other cfficer, of any incor- persted compepy named in the aseessvent roll, shail thew to the gatiafaction of the Board of Supervisors, at their epnual meetng, within two days from the com- mencemert thereof, by the affidavit of such officer, to be | filed wi.b the Clerk of the Board, that each comeany hes not been, during the preceding year, in the receipt of not anpval profits, 1 clear income, equal to five per cont on the capital stock of any such company, paid in, or secured to be paid ir, after deducting from the amount of their cat stcck the asscared value ef their Peal estate; such ccmpany shall be eotitied to commute for their taxes vo such capital stock by paying directly to tbe treasnrer of the county in whici 6 buninees of such company is transacted. a sum equal to five por cent on such pet appual profite or clear income, and aleo such further eam as eball | bave been asgonsed on said roll as the taxes on their real | eetate; and tbe areeesment of every moneyed or sicrk | corpersticn, autborized to make dividends ow its capital, | from which no such affidavit shal! be received, as afore- | said, shall be conclusive evidence that such corporation | was liable to taxation, and was duly assessed. Tt wilt thue be seen, that if this boos og A deemed that thetr asgesrment was too high, it should have mate ap- plication to the Board of Supervisors of i86¢, in the man- | ner mentioned in the rection above quoted The igoo. | Trance of ita cfficerr, cf this provision of the law, or their Degieci to comply therewith. is not, either of them, in my opinion, a rufictent excuse for the Common Council tm terfere, even if the power exists so to do. This, how. | ever, way well be doubted, an the failure of tho company to seek their relief from the Reerd of Supervisors renae:s | the assersment conclusive, in accordance with the raid | section, The power of the Common Council to either 8 tax, or reduoe the valuation or assessment of pro- ty, is qvertiored by mapy,and [am of opinion that carpot propery be exercised , unless ip we of error or mateke. There was po erroror mistake in the sesern | ment inthis case, Tia the compeny do not claim; but, that, a2 their prefits did pot equal five per cent, and were « ceived in regard to the exact meaning of the pricted statement which they were furnished, they are entitled | to relief. ‘The section of the law under which they could have obtained this relief from the Bosrd of Supervisors bas tirce been repenied, ar ita provisions were so extremely hderal to those incorporated companies, and #o many ap | plications were made to the several Boards of Sapervieors that the Legislature, at the seesion of 1867, eubatitated in its place a nection giving the power to the ‘Aseonsore to fx the valuation, without ery power io the Board of Super visors to comunute for the tax thereon.
