Tne New York Times Coming Out Against the Corporation Ring. {From the New York Times, July 31.] TAX PAYERS, HAVING DANCED, WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY THE PIPER. Just befora the people of this city indulged in the tux. ury of mailie Fernando Wood nae best a the santo taxation for all purposes—city, county an up $4,845,386. This was in 1854. About that time, mainly in order to securo the election of the aforesaid Mayor and certain of his henchmen as aldermen, there was formed the infamous secret society, since known as “Tha Ring.” This society, following the illustrious ex- ample of the Mozart Napoleon, jobbed out the laws and franohiges of the city to the highest bidders, and sold their votes for and against affairs of public concern with equal facility to political friend or foe, except in cases of great party moment. That ring is as perfect to-day as ever. It seems to be tho veritable serpent with his tail in his mouth by which the ancients symbolized eternity. ‘The Mogul isin a foreign land, but his ‘moral effect” still guides and controls the oath gang of thieves whe prey upon the long suffering taxpayers and tax- earners of this city. * In 1864, the year preceding that in which the ring got into full operation, our taxes were lees than $4,850,000 on a valuation of $462,000,000, Noxt year thoy increased the tax a million of dollars, or twonty-two per cont; the next year they raised it $1,200,000; in 1857 they pushed it up nearly another twelve hundred thousand; in 1868 tome of their big jobs failed in consequence of disson- sions among themselves, and they let us up with an in- crease of only half a million. ut this leniency was atoned for in 1859 by putting on nearly thirteen hundred thousand dollars, making the amonnt of tax $9,860,926, an increase in five years of $5,015,546, or more than ono hundred per cent. “In the meantime, as a part of the scheme, they had done their utmost to cover this glaring robbery’ by increasing the valuation of taxable property in similar proportion; but that defied even their almost inexhaustible wgenuity; they could only raise it from four hundred and sixty-two millions to five hundred and fifty-one millions, or less than twenty per cent, But the clamor in 1859 became uproarious; Wood was again a candidate for Mayor, and in order to stand a chance there must be at least a show of retrenchment; and so the ring let up a little, and in the estimates for 1860, made up bofore the vote for Mayor, 80 as to be available as an electioneering document, they actually reduced the amount of the tax from the current year (1859). To be sure thoy did not take off much, only a trifle over one hundred thousand dollars; but it was enough to show a good disposition, and they could safely tay that no such event had occurred since the yery year that Wood was first elected. So the taxes in 1860 were nine million seven hundred and fifty-ning thousand dol- lars, on a valuation of five hundred and seventy-seven millions, But in 1861, the ring being fully restored to power in the party as well as in the Common Council, they mado us sweat under a tax bill of eleven million six hundred and twenty-seven thousand six hundred and thirty-two dollars, and that on a valuation of five hundred and eightystwo millions, only five millions more than that of the previous year. Of course the war was the excuse; but the ring was the cauze—the war brought grist to their mill, they readily saw more frequent occasions for plunder, and found, inthe absorp- tion ot public interest in the national struggle, the very time when they could steal with impunity. So from year to year they have rushed up the grand total, until, for 1865, they come down upon us, after deducting every dollar they can hope for in the shape of income, for $17,246,809—neor four times as much as in 1854. The most they can make their taxable basis is six hundred and nine millions, only one hundred and twenty-two millions, or twenty-five per cent, more than ten years ago. The rate of tax this year will be two dollars and eighty cents on overy hundred dollara, or nearly threo percent., not on incomes and profits of trade only, but Be So, goods, &c.—indeed, everything that a man ath. We need no better proof of the agency of the ring in this fearful increase than the divisions of the total, whence it aj rs that the ‘‘city’’ demands $10,186,968; the county, $4,624,200; the State only $3,000,000, ' ‘Tho ring are unable to manage the State account at all; they have but inferential power in county affatra; but over the city figures they reign supreme. fence, while the Stato shows no rapid increase, and that of the county is very moderate, the city has swept up from less than $2,000,000 in 1854 to more than $10,000,000 in 1865. It is needless to ask how long we can stand such bur- dens—that period is only limited by tho almost inex- haustible resources of our elastic business men; but how long should we stand them? Will voters, both taxpay- ers and taxearners, lay the subject to heart? The Charges Against the Officers of the United States District Court of Northern Florida. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Naw Yore, July 31, 1865. In the letter of your correspondent at Jacksonville, Fla., published in the Hsraxp of yesterday, I notice some very severe and unjust reflections upon the Judge and the Marshal of tho United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida, which, though having no poasible interest in the matter except that of common justice, I cannot see go uncorrected. Thavo been living in Jacksonville most of the time since that place was occupid by our troops, and have known every step taken by the Judge and the Marshal regarding property in that place. There has been no property condemned by the Court since the downfall of the rebellion, and I know that no property was con- demned before that time, except that of persons who were outside of our lines and were proved to have been actively engaged in promoting the rebellion. Some of the property, however, which was condemned before is being sold since the war ended. The District Attorney is now proceeding against the estates of those who come under the excepted classes in the prociamation of am- nesty. This is as it should be. The cases have not been Drought to trial, however. Nor has the Judge been in the State at all since these proceedings were commenced. Tam acquainted with the case of the property owner referred to by your correspondent as “holding a high position under the United States government,” whose estate, he says, has been condemned. The property was condemned while the said owner was stiil in Lee's army; it was condemned under the law of August 6, 1861, for having been used for rebei purposes with the knowledge and consent of the owner, The positicn he now holds is that of an employe of the Treasury Agent, to semst in bunting up the rebel government cot- ton throughout the country—he being peculiarly fitted for that work from the fact of his having acted ss agent of the rebel government in collecting it The steamer Silver Spring was ccrtainly a most legiti- mate subject for confiscation under the law, as it had been used extensively by the rebels in conveying block- ade goods and rebel supplies. Tho owner, H. L. Hart—one of the most worthy citizens of Florida—had to submit to its being thus weed, as it was pressed into the rebel service. le, therefore, deserves the greatest loniency on the part of the government, and, no doubt, will receive it. ‘The Judge allows for advertising all that the law pre- ibes. This sum did not meet the expectations of the publisher of an exceedingly small paper in Jacksonville, and he has thought best to lend himeelf to the disaf- fected, newly reclaimed rebels to peddle their slanders. The character and loyalty of Jndge Fraser stand abso- lutely above reproach wiih every good and tree man of the country who knows him. And since this rebellion he has shown himself to_be a patriot of the first order. The government should expect, and, no doubt, does expect, that these sore-headed rebels will use om 4 means possible within their power and ingenuity, bot! reputable and disreputable, to bring the action of its courts into contempt and to reverse their decisions. The positions of these courts will therefore be most unplea- sant ones, and they should receive the fall support and sympathy of the government and of all true and loyal men of the country. I notice that the complaint of your correspondent is made altogether against the Judge and the Marshal, Why cr is this? ip" { one should know that they are not the originators of these suits.

THE FATHER OF &e., &e., Our Savannah Correspondence, ‘Savannan, Ga., July 27, 1866. AN IMPORTANT ADDRESS. On Tueaday evening last Rev. Goorge G. Smith deliv- ered an address in Trinity church on the “Duty of the Young Men of Georgia at the Present Hour." Itisa noticeable fact that no public address here by a Northern man, or entertainment of any kind under Northern auspices, has ever been attended to any extent by old residents of Savannah. The announcement of this lec- ture called out a large audience, largely composed of original residents, most of whom remained through the address, Mr. Smith has been four years a chaplain of the Phillips legion, in the rebel army, serving all the time undor General Lee, whom he very much admires andesteems. At the battle of South Mountain he re- ceived a wound, from which he is still acripple. He fs a man much respected for bravery, integrity and devotion to the interests of the South, so that his opinions have much weight. The speaker came out fairly and squarely in favor of complote submission to the United States government, and from the fact that he urged such a course as a duty growing out of necessity and policy alone, the advice will go much further with the class it is really desirable to reach. As this is the first voico speaking directly to the point, and untrammolled on the great issues of the hour, in this city, I will give somo ox- tracts from the discourse. They indicate very clearly, I think, public sentiment in this section. He commenced with an epitomized version of the events which led to the recent crisis:— You will remember four years ago a convention was called In Georgia, composed of her ablest and best chil- dren, Cobb was there, Toombs was there, Stephens was there, Hill was there, Johnson was there. Men occupy- ing different stand points, entertaining different views, but are actuated by the same motives, and aiming at the same end. The result of this convention was that the State of Georgia decided to resume her sovereignty, and enter into another confederacy. The result was war. You were called by ber command to the field, and you responded right gallantly. The tide of war oscillated now victory, now defeat. Great qualities were developed on both sides, The war has ended and in our defeat. He then advocated compliance with all requirements of the government, in the following terms:— Tho United States government proposes, asa price we are to pay for citizenship, that we subscribe to an oath. This oath requires;—st. That we promise to may. Be constitution of the United States and the Union the under; 2d. That we emancipate our slaves. The alternative is presented of ing to this oath or leaving the land; of subscribing to this oath or shutting ourselves out o/ the pale of citizenship. Shall we ac- cept the aliernative? Unhesitatingly lanswer, No. Wo cannot forsake the feeble, the maimed, the aged, the dofonccless, The nobiost heroism is thai which lends a man to sacrifice himeelf; and, whatever, might be my personal fodions, I could not forsake ‘these, Again, your interest will be secured by subscribing. In all the world you will find no sphere in which you can act to sch advantage as here, What! forsake the homes your fathers won from forest and foe, the graves of your loved, because of a feel'ng of pride? No, never. le scorned the idea that any of his auditors would take the oath with any mental reservation, and nounced any who would go insinuate, Their fault never time serving treachery. But, at the same time, he dc nounced radicals, and showed that he was not one. Thore are those who would have you bow servilely at the feet of the conqueror, denounce President Davis as a traitor, call imprecations upon the gray head of our dear jcader, R. E. Lee, and with your own hand brand yourselves with infamy. But, gentlemen, they are not the galiant members of the army which Conquered us, not the government, but ignobie souls, who can under. stand no principle of nobility or magnaminity. As a distingu‘shed brigadier general of the United States said to me to-day, we are not roquired to think, but to act, Let us take the oath, heartily keep it, and set to work bravely to reorganize our State. He praised the United States troops, said they showed every disposition to be kind, atid must be treated cour- teously. These men had one into the fight with pure motives, and he who insults the strong, presuming upon his forbearance, is as cowardly as he who treats with in- sult the weakness of the fallen. He adjured all Southern men to remember the maimed and suflering of the'r Confederate comrades, their widows ‘and orphans. He spoke thus of the freedmen and n-gro suffra Your duty to the freedmen deserves mention. y were born under our own roof, they were our playmates in infancy, they have becn our friends in manhood, They nursed us in sickness, and when we went to the army they remained, and they were humble and true and stood by us in trial. By the fiat of the Un.ted States President they are free. They did not seek, ask for it, or demand it. If, under the in- gave excitement of this new transaction, influenced by the conneels of others, they act extravagantly, forgive them, nor let the ties of affection which bound them to you be broken. When labor and capital come in con: ilict, ws ii will, a strong temptation will be presented to wrong aud oppress them. There will be danger of re- enact ng the vc of Manchester and Glasgow, of the coal mines of glend and great manufacturing estab- lishments everywhere. Resist the temptation, be kind, be just, be true. Co-operate with every effort made to advance them, With schools, with churches. Unlike thore of another section we are not willing to cast them off, but Jet us stand by them and Jabor with them. I as- sert fearlessly here that, young as I am, I have done more for tie solvation Of the soul of the negro and for bis moral elevation than Henry Ward Beecher ever cared to do, and am to-day propared for greater sacrifices and —_labors for his welfare than are those shrekers, who call me slavedriver—so have you, 20 will you. But, gentlemen, an effort will be made to give them the right of suffrage. Demagogues and fanatics will second it, We must resist it. The right of suffrace, like Sinbad’s old man of the sy to get on and hard to get rid of. We refuse we refuse it to minors, as the Californian oman, the Western man to Indian, aud ig ntil they have been here five years. 1 am glad to see that President Johnson has bad the courage to resist this movement. Let him be firm, and forgetting the past, we will siand by him and support him in every just measure. When they shall be ele, ated suiliciently for this right, we will yield it, and not till thon, We are aware, gentlemen, that we can control this power. We are aware that with it, we can injure those who clamor for ft. Bat we would not, for party or per- sonal purposes, open such a flood gate of corrupton, offer such a premium for rascality. for those, who, for party aims, clamor for it, remember that there is such a thing 4s digging a pit for another, and falling themselves into it. He enjoined his auditors to avoid vice, and among other vices that of avarice, which will sacrifice nobility for profit, He extolled labor as noble, and advised the 7ecns mea of Georgia to off with their coats ,asstme the Jacksmith’s hammer, the implements of mechanics and the field, The following was his tribute to the ladies of Savannah :— Tn this hour willingly will our noble countrywomen stand by you. They have excited our highest admiration as during these four terrible years they have watched and waited, tolled and wept, but never did they appear so lovely us now. My admiration for you, my young coun- trywomen, was never 80 great as now, when bereft of all, you so Willingly, so unmurmuringly go through the menial labors of the kiteben and the washroom. I am sure you will not kiss the cheek loss fondly because it is tanned, nor clasp the hand less warmly because it is rough—nor will you in the eyes of those who are your defenders lose a gieam of your transcendant loveliness, because of your toil The diadem of industry which you wear shines brighter than that of diamonds on Eu- Genie’s regal brow. He closed by describing the boundless resources of Georgia, and urging every hearer to devote himself to the work of developing thom. ‘THR WRATOER—ARALTH.

The Jowlsh F ITS ORIGIN AND MODE OF IN THE SYNAGOGUES. At sundown, Monday evening, the Jewish penitential Feast of Ab was inaugurated by solemn services in the different city synagogues. All these temples were well filled by Psraclitish devotees, and tho ceremonies per- formed with unusual impressiveness. ORIGIN OF THE FEAST. The holy day celebrated on the ninth day of the He- brew month of Ab was instituted in commemoration of the destruction of the second temple by Titus. It is one of the most important of the many Jewish festivals reli- giously observed throughout the year, and held at such by a people which, strange to gay, honors with ay Priate rites the anniversaries of Hoth taiumphs and re- verses. The holyday which was ushered in at sundown is, besides, more peculiarly recalled to the recollection of the J lows than most oth- ers. On the ninth of the month of Ab the first temple was Nebuoh: , a8 wasthe vy adnoszar, second, after a lapse of several centuries, by Titus. On the same anniversary, in the 8 Of ‘the Ji a Me and scattered throughout the length and breadth of the And again, by a singuler coincidence, on the same date Columbus set sail from Genoa to discover a land wherein men of religious and political faith were destined, in future ages, to be equal. No doubt the strange succes- —- of Cg ony which their ancestors played so promi- nent a part, the holiday most deeply on the memory of the modern Israelites, who, moreover, are strictly enjoined to the occasion as one second only to the three great - vals of the year. The fall of the Temple was to tho Jewish sages and bards as the fall of Troy to the Greek poet and the drama- tists of old; and the unnumbered Talmudical sayings, Jegendy and’ parables, conjointly with the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah, are still alluded to on this ticular occasion by the posterity of the patriarchs. a singular contrast to the penitential keeping of the Feast Sabbath is devoted to chants of joy of Ab, the ensuii and gratitude, and is known as the Day of Consolation, whereupon to render thanks to God for the good that has sprung from the evil. THE MODE OF OBSERVANCE. Like all Jewish holy days, the feast of Ab, commenc- ing at eventide, comes to a conclusion ateundown on the day following. The synagogues are thrown open on the first night and on tho next morning, and are draped in black, the sombre w sbrouding henge but- of — day, and the quaintest test fancies of the artist Into the shadow of one grand and gloomy sepul- chre. The usual modcsof illumination are di led, and small wax tapers, a a flickering and reddish glare, are substituted for the brilliancy of gas, and affixed to thd pendants and brackets in the direct vicinity of the faithful. The echol, or ark, containing She books of the law, which are usually concealed by sliding panels and a veil of the gaudiest ‘hue, is also hung with the dark draperies of mourniog, the scrolls of the law within, divested of their eatin casings and robbed of the gold and silver turrets surmounting them, are wrapped in the unfailing crape. The doors of the ark are not thrown open, nor is the veil lifted during the services, but the books of the law are drawn forth from behind the cur- tain with every indication of humility on the part of the ofiictating minister. ‘The prayers, which are usually read aloud from an elevated platform in the very centre of the nave, are offered up from a small table, placed on a level with the assemblage of devotees. The form of worship differs shghtly, as the synagogue may chance to follow the German or the Portnguego ritual. Atal the temples, however, the Israclites are strictly required to abstain from all manner of fc “from even- tide unto eventide.” The members of the con- gregation, as on occasions of mourning in a private tamily, do not occupy the seats usually assigned to them, but are scattered throughout the building, and locate themvelves as they best may, while in Germany the most pious invariably seat themselves upon the floor, and re- main in that posture until called vpon to offer up such prayers as may demand a general uprising of the congre- getion. Itis expressly commanded that leather shoes shall be set aside; and, though many of the worehippers appear in felt slippers, specially donned for the occasion, not a few enter and leave the eynagogns barefooted, All while participating in the ceremonies are attired in the moet egombre and valueless clothing they may chance to possess, The services proper compriee the recital of a certain portion of prayers, the chanting of the Lamenta- tions of the Prophet Jeremiah deploring the fall of the great city, and the reading of those elegies of the sages who were inspired by the destruction of the Temple and the dispersion of their feliow Israclites. In all these ex- ercises the members of the congregation take an active part, the most truly orthodox synagogues refusing to accede to the use of organs, and objecting to admit as singers in their choir any but corehgionists, following the same ritual as thoy themselves, On Sabbaths and on ordinary festivals, certain members of the congregation are called apon by the minister to attend to the reading of a portion of the Scriptures; on this occasion, none but two representatives from thie tribe of pricets, and a third from the remaining tribes, can be electod to be honord with a soat beside the officiating minister, ‘THY CITY SYNAGOGURS. As stated above, the sy! es were tolerably well yy nagoRU attended, all the orthodox institutions being thrown open to sheir Conaregetions. The reform noe the princl- pal of whic situated in Kast Twelfth street, were closed, the Israelites adhering to the principles of re form not recognizing the minor holydays so reverently observed by the ultra-orthodox coreligionists, At the Nineteenth street ¢, the ceremonies were per- formed by the ‘minioter: ev’ J.J. Lyons. Atthe Trad way synagogue, the exercises were conducted by the Reverond 8. M. Isaacs, who has been minister to that congregation for the past five and twenty years. At the Twenty-ninth street, Ludlow street, Greene street and Henry street synagogues, the regular oMfc'aiing ministers performed the impressive ceremonies iacident to the occasio!
