8 ‘HE COURTS. Duties and Emoluments of United States Commissioners. Interference with Scows Remov- ing City Garbage. JOBBERY IN STREET REGULATING. Injunction Against President Grant. The opening of the fall term in the United States Circuit and District courts gave promise of busy times for the United States Commuszioners, Of these oflicials there are five, with offices in the Post Office Building, three of whom are connected with the Cireuit Court branch —Jobu 1, Davenport, John A. Sbields and J. W. Deuell; and two in the District Court—George M. Betts and Jobn A. Osborn, A large part of the business transacted by theeo Commissioners consists of exam|- Rations in criminal cases. The government ullows $5 for each examination, which, together with other fees arising out of these cases, creates a considerable rov- euue for these Commissioners, and, 1t 18 now alleged, there is an influence quietly at work to divert this source of revenue out of ita regular chaunel that it may enrich a favored fow. ‘The Comrnissioners have power to issue warrants for the urrest of alleged criminals without notifying the District Attorney or receiving hig sanction, but it hus becowe almost the rule of practice to lodge information with the United States Attorney or one of his subordinates, alfidavits being subsequently made and latd hefore the Commissioner, who thereupon issues his warrant It wasiormerly the practice to distribute these cases among the’ different Commissioners, equalizing the labor as well as the fees, Latterly, however, it ts al- leged that nearly all of the cases bave been sent to the Circuit Court branch, a fact which called forth a pro- test from one of the district Commissioners, of which, however, no proper notice was taken by District At- tornoy Bliss. Other consurable practices it 18 also al- leged bave been resorted to in furtherance of this sys- tem of favoritism, deputy marshals and others being Auduced to intercept complainants secking redress at the hande of the Commis: ers, and to bring them defore u particular Commissioner, GARBAGE IN THE BAY. The matter of disposing of the eity garbage by the Street Cloaning Buroau of this city through its convey- face in scows A the harbor and consigning it to the waves in the neighborhood of Coaoy Island, still con- Uinues the subject of serious attention in the courts, All the preliminary stages of the litigation have alroady deen fully given in the Humanp, 1t finally came be- fore Judge Donohue, of the Supreme Court, in a suit brought by the city of New York against Winchoster Britton, District Attorney of Kings — county; Cornelius Ferguson, Shore Luspector, aud other Kings county oliciuls, tv restrain them from interfering with the garbay: oWs OL their passage through the Nar- rows, The principal question raised was that the act of 1875 creating the oilice of Shore Inspector was un- constitutional, Judge Donohue gave his decision in the case yesicrday, denying the injunction asked for. He holds that the act seems to be unconstitational, in- asmuch as it undertakes directly to regulate commerce, but while so bolding he thinks the question of consti tutionatity is not to be decided on injunction proceed- Jugs, and that the parties arrested by the Brooklya piticers inust be tried in the ordiwary way, STREET REGULATING JOBBERY. A rather singular case, developing rather quoer job- bery in the matter of street rogulating, came up yes- lerday, before Judge Westbrook, in Supreme Court, Chambers, on an order to show causo why Commis- sioner Campbell should not execute two contracts, one to Isane Loonoy for regulating Ninety-ninth streot, and the other to Jobn Salisbury for regulating Ninety- third street. In the latter case the statement was made that Edward Roberts, who owns property on both sides of Ninety-third stroet, obtained some time Binco a permit to Mill in, regulate, curb and flag the Street in front of his lots; that he proceeded tu do x0, expending some $4,000 00 the work, aud that unaer the contract with Sulisbury it is sought to pay the later somo $30,000 tor the same work und assess Mr. Koverts in the bargain, a course of proceedure to Which, under the circumstances, Mr. Xoberts decidedly objects. Atter a brief argument the case was laid over lor a woek, when it will propabiy be thoroughly silted, ENJOINING PRESIDENT GRANT. ‘The caso of Leopold Vettel, against whom extradition Proceedings have been peading fur somo time in the Bupreme Court, with a view of sending him to Austria to auswer a charge of forgery, has called forth « rather Bingular order trom Judge Westbrook, boing no less than an injunction order against President Grant, Sixty days ouviug clapsod since an extradition commit- Ment was grauted by a United States Commissioner, and the extradition not yet baving taken piace under buch decizion, it 18 now Claimed shat he 1s entitied to bis discharge.’ Judge Westorook yesterday, ou applt- sation grauted an order giving Vettel pormission 10 ap- ply, on the 25th inst, for his discharge, on the ground Btated above. It was also iurther ordered that Presi- dent Grant be stayed meanwhile from granting 8 man- date tor bis surrender; that the Secretary of State Should not issue such mandate, and that no United States Marshal or other oiticial should execute such Mandate until the hearing upon this application. © In Marine Court, Chambers, yesterday, a motion was made before Judge Sinnot that an order of arrest granted against Lazarus Barnard at the suit of Marks Stowlisk, be either executed or vacated. The srder of arrest, us appeared by the papers submitted by Mr, Charies J. Schampain on behait of the motion, was granted ou tho 7th of the present month, on an affidavit setting forth that the plainiif Was about io Sommence, in connection therewith, a suit against defendant tor assault and battery. Sineo then, coun- acl further alleged, no suit had been commenced, vur had the order of arrest been placed in the bands of the Sherif, and, trom intormation he had received, he be- heved it to be the intention, on the part of the plaimtif, Jo keep ihe order ot arrest until the advent of an im: portant Jewish holiday, on the 15th and 19th inst, aud then execute it on his client, who isaJew, Tne attor- hey for piaintit giving no satisfactory explanation why the suit bad nos Leon commenced OF the order of ar- fest oxeculed, directed that the order be given to tho Bheritl betore three o'clock ot yestor or tbat it be vacated, Defendant's counsel said his clent was all prepared with his bail, aud would be at the Sheriffs vilice at the hour named, so that be might thus be pro- b ted ip the peacotul observance of the coming holl- Jay's. THE WIDOW BARRY TRIUMPHS. The suit of the Woed Sewing Machine Company against Bridgot Barry, to determine ttle to a sewing Machine Which the company took away from ber after she had paid within $10 of its price aud tendered them that, was to have been continued betore Judge Shert- @an and ajury in the Marine Court yesterday, having been partially tried on the previous day, When tho ready to proceed, however, it was found that the parties had come to an amicable arrangem aud at the request of Mr, Robert Sewail, plaints’ a juror wag permitted to be withdrawn and ¢ discontinued, Mr. Henry C. Dennison, counsel, for Mrs. Barry, maxing no objuction to this course, The terms of ihe settiemont were subsequenuy ander- Blood to be the payment by the company ot the vaiue of the machine to Mrs. Barry and a fee to her couusel, Thus Las euded a caso whieh has awakened pabiic at- tention to a commercial system in this city which has been too olten abused to the disadvantage and oppres- Sion of the poor.

The action was one of the mos: brilliant exploits of the Revolutionary War. In a close conflict tho most celebrated of the British regiments, after an unsuocesstul effort to break the Amorican lines, were repulsed and driven in con- fusion by the Continental troops. The repuise restored confidence to the patriot forces demoralized by the re~ treat from Long Island and the suvsequent lauding of tho British at Kip’s Bay, Such an incident should not pass unnoticed in this year of historic commemora- tion, and it is fitting that this society should tormally celebrate the occasion in an appropriate manner. A special committee on celebrations having recently beén appointed by the Executive Committee, authority is asked of the society to carry out the proposed pro- gramme’? Mr James W. Beekman, second vico president, after some remarks, submitted a resolution whicb was adopted, that the above communication be referred back to the same committee with power to act.

Interesting Recollections of Its Workings. WHAT THE OLD ASSESSORS SAY. Some Results of Publishing the Income Returns, BOTH SIDES OF THE TILDEN MATTER, PETES AP ee a! At a period whon the safoty of the country was im- perilled tho Congress of the United States, not deem- ing the usual revenue of the government adequate to grapple with and put down the rebellion, commenced on the 4th of July, 1861, to mitiate proceedings toward legislation on the subject of Internal revenue, From that period until July, 1862, the subject was continually under consideration of the House. On the Ist of that month Congress almost unanimously enacted the jxcise,” or “Internal Revenue,” for the purpose of providing increased revenue to pay the interest on the public debt, to support the government and for other purposes, . By joint resolution, passed July 17, 1¢ was provided that certain matters, required to be done on or before tho Ist days of July or August should be postponed to such time as might be fixed and deter- mined by the Seeretary of the Treasury. This provision confided 1mmense power in an individual, but any one familiar with the workings of the system wiil see what w berculean task it was to arrange such a vast and ox- tensive system over a country in which such a law was never known before. Under this resolution the Secre- tary gave notico that tho law would take effect Septem- ber 1, 1862, THE INCOME TAX The internal revenue tax upon incomes as 1mposed by the act of 1862 was one of the most important sources of revenue. For the year ending June 30, 1863 (only including actual collections for ten months), it amounted to $455,741; in the following year, $14,919,279 (together with $28,929,312 imposed under the Joint resolution of July 4, 1864), while in the year ending June 30, 1865, It produced, as estimated, over $58,000,000. When tho law was first introduced it was feared it would meot with pubhe discontent, and its officers cot with the same reception they did in Eng- land iu 1797 on the inauguration of the lirst ‘Assessed Taxes bill,” but in this there was a great mistako in tho estimate of the patriotism of our citizens. PUBLICATION OF INCOMK RETURNS. In tho first days of the law the assessors objected to allowing any persons to sce the income returns, deem- ing thein made truthful only under tho expectation that they were to be kept strictly private. Oue of the Com- missionera, however, decided that the books snould be accessible, and from that decision arose tho practice of publishing the returns, Some men ot good business qualities, active, sharp and strictly honorable in their dealings, might on the possession of these qualities procure crodit and stock from which in time a fortune might be made. Opponents to them in trade could visit the assossor’s offico and find out their income. This they would publish among their croditors to their damage, and among their customors who wouldn’t care to deal with such a poor firm. On tho other hand, as an instance of the evil resulting theretrom, take the case of a Cincinnati frm who were reprosented as having paid a tax on $300,000 profits in one yoar. Their credit ran up and they availed them- selves of it and failed a few months later for $500,000. INTERVIEW WITH GOVERNOR TILDEN’S ASSESSOR. Mr. 0, G. Hillard was an assistant assessor of the Eighth district in 1862, where Mr. Tilden resided at that time. Tho district was divided into some twenty- six divisiona, eaeh in charge of an assistant under the Chief Assessor, Mr. A. J. Bleeck: Mr. Tilden resided in the division in charge of Mr. Hillard. A reporter called on Mr. Hillard, when the foliowing interview took place:— : “You received Mr, Tilden’s incomo return for 1863, dia you not, Mr. Hillard?” “Yow, sir.” “Do you remember the manncr in whien it was made ?’” “I do not remember his case in particular, but I be- Hove, like many others, the calculation was made on litte slips of paper and the gross amount ontored on the blanks provided, in the column shqwing the rate of taxation to which it was subject.” “Did nos the law require a detailed return of qvery, person’s income and the sources irom which it was derived!” “It did; but it was anew thing, and very few por- sons were at all familiar with its requirements, Thero were many dificuitios in the way of carrying it out. ‘We wero compelled to make our returns by a certain dato, and when the persons in the division did not hand in their statoments in time I was compelled to assess thom to the best of my knowledge. Printed circulars were left at the residences notifying the occupants to make thetr returns in time and notifying them of the ponaity 1m case of default. The law was looked upon with disfavor, and half the notices were destroyed by servants, WhO regarded the inen who lett them tn the light of land agents in Ireland.” “How did you proceed to ussess those who made no espouse to the totice t”” “Shortly alter May 1 in each year it was the custom to make a thorough canvass, and then on the bost in- formation we could get to assess all who bad not made their returns 1t was a difficult task, but we gen- erally placed the figures high cnoogh to reach t amount.” Were you compelled to do this frequently or in ex- ceptional cases t"’ f “It was done very frequently, and oven with those who camo in response to the notices,” “How was that?” “A yreat many profeseional men and speculators would cail and say they kept a0 exact account of their incomes and could not sweur to the ainouat.”” What was done in such cases ?”” A “We had no other course but to usseaa them accord- ing to our best knowleage and add on the penalty. “Did you regard such action us an effort to escape paying tho full tax!” “No, I believed most of them were honest about It, for such men never do keep a close record of their ac- counts, and. think they preferred to leave the matter to the assessor rather than swear to & statement not absoiuiely correct."” “Dui Mr. Tilden ever neglect to call on yout”? “No, he came regularly every year, and 1 believe 1 remember he said to me he could nut conscientiously swear to the amount of his income.” What did you do io the matter?” ‘he same us in numbers of other cases. I con- sulted with Chict Asseesur Bleecker, and we fixed the amount according to our judgment.” in What was your judgment based—on previous ; ” it was generally on the statements of the men themselves when they were known to be roliable, and they were, as a rule, willing to subject to the ity per cent penalty rather thau venture a sworn state- ment, Besides, though it 1s rather sipgular, the mon who know least about the law were gouerally lawyers and profession sl men. It was very intricate and arbi- trary, but merchauis and busiuess men had a much cleurer conception of it, T are men of regu‘ar habits and accounts, and know precisely what weir business yielded aud to what amount of tx they were lable, Iwas very bard on them, too, For instance, if the profits of a copartnerslip amounted Ww $50,000 in a your, aud the terms of their agreement only allowed thom to draw out $10,000, they were obliged to pay tax on $50,000, just the sane.” oo the peoplo asa rule respond cheerfully to the tax?” “aAgarulo they did, but a namber of wealthy men lived ® sort of carpet-bag lite, aud moved from pia to place_to keep out of reach. Whenever we caught up with them, as we sometimes did after two or threo Voars, We called tor thetr returns, and when not forth. coming We assessed them heavily.” ‘How did you regard Mr Tilden in submitting to be assessed ju prelereuce to swearing to his income!” “Just the same as | did many other gentiomen of hign character. 1 believe he was a conscientious and patriouc citizen, and though we diiler in politics think he always mtended to be just toward the govern- ment. If his returns were short of bis uctusl in 1d) not think it was the result of any wiihog in Fesentation on bis part, His case was one, and some of tue sworn returns we: stance Where « wealthy ian Wanted to swear to a smail return aud I refused amount he represented, for | knew sometht: aflairs. ‘ovstucle in getting at the truth ‘was Where inopey Was invested in government bonds, of which we could get no record.” A DIFYKRENT STORY, Mr. Sheridan Shook, who was the Collector in the Thirty-second district lo this cy in 1862, in answer to questions put to him by the reporter, stated as tol- jJows:—"Protite arising Irom all sources of business jable to taxation, and moneys realized from 4) of property, etocks, &¢., were of coarse include the case of stocks the Owner puid a certain per- Profit by the transaction, just as the tax on his commission for Rogotiatiug Teceipts during any one yeur jormed a ing returns, aud not the carnings, This 5 HOF | per lb, weig' jcularly to professional men, It a lawyer or doctor had oarned during the course of the year say $20,000, and only’ collected $10,000, that sum was all | stance, @ merch on the year’s business he was taxed on the fullamount of it, “Then during the following year, if his protite were diminished or entirely wiped out by ae through the last year’s debtors, he could deduct thé amount from bis next retarng. There way no estimal- juga man’s taxes, F Forms were provided and thé assessments mnade on the sworn statements of citizent subject to the tax. The great majority of the people responded cheerfully aod willingly, and cases of re- fusal to.dv so were rare. The only object any one could have in neglecung to comply Was to conceal the actual amount of bis iwcome in the hope of being as sessed for a smaller sum than he ought to, As @ rule * the assessors broke up tbat game by piling It om heavily, in addition to the penalty of Ofy per cent, Tilden’s case there was u neglect 0 m his part and on the part assistant assessor iu his division of the district. Mr. Tildew, I believe, mado Cy} returos and ufter that stopped und was assessed by chief assessor of bis district. It was the avsistant as sessor’s duty to assess Mr. Tilden, but it does not ap- pear that he did so, In 4 opinion the chiof assessor and Mr. ‘Tilden were in collusion and fixed matters be- tween them. Mr, Tilden had no excuse for not making his returns the sawe as I or any other citizen did.” MK. BLEKCKER'S RECOLLECTIONS. Mr. A. J. Bleecker was appointed assessor of the Eighth district in 1862 aud heid the offi until 1868, Mr. Vildeu resided in big district, as did alao Hamilton Fish and many other prominent and wealthy mi ‘The income returns trom the district were larger thi apy other in the United States, The reporter called on Mr. Bleecker and questioued bim coucerminx the prac tice of failing or relusing to make income returns his district, Mr. Bicecker said it was by no means the exception to do so, There were many instances of it, especially among lawyers and professioual men, who were pot systematic in their accounts and with whom it was ost’ impossible to make accurate returns. there wore bun- dreds of such cases,” ed Mr. Bleecker’ son, who was present at the conversation and wi formerly assisted bis father in bis duties ag assessor. “It 13 eight years,” continued Mr. Bleecker, 3r., “since L was in charge of the district, and the books have passed out of my hauds. There were about twenty-six divisions tn the district and 4s wany as sistant assessors. 1 do not remember having anything todo with Mr. Tilden’s uffaira If he failed to make his returns it was my assistant’s business to assess him. He generally consulted me, as they all did, tu such cases, bdtd do not recall Mr. Tildpn’s case. It ia very likely I was consulted in his case, We them all alike, and generally made the assessment large enough to remedy the trouble the next time, I would gladly give 7 further mformation if I could, but the details of the ousinesa wore attended to by my chiet clerk.” AN/OPIMION THAT 18 LAW. Mr. Willian Orton, Prosident of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was ameng the firat of the col- loctors of interual revenue appointed, und served ip that capacity iu the Sixth digtrict im this city. He afterward went to Wasbington and was sepcmad Comuissiouer of the revenue. A reporter culled on him with a series of questions coucernimy the Inter- pretation of the law as enacted in 1862 and his experi- ence of its workings. Mr. Orton reluctantly entered on the subject and did not wish to express hig opinion on matters which were not within bis jurisdiction, The lollowing is the substance of the intervie Revorter—Were not moneys realized by the sale of stocks, property, &c., considered as a part of a person’s income, though the same was intended for iinimediate romvestment? Mr. Onroy—It is now some years since I was con- necied with mattors relating to the revenue, and what- ever opinion I might express would only be my reco lection of the law then existing, tho exprossion of a fact which was Known and published at tbat tim Revorren—Did not the receipts of any one year, though not representing the curnings of that year, enter into its taxable mcomo? Mr. ORtox—Questions of that nature were, as I said before, subject to the law as interpreted by superiors in their instructions to subordi- nates, Tho inatitution of the law was a trouble- some inquisition {nto the private alfuirs of every pere son with an income exceeding $600, and to properly conform to it was a matter of great difficulty and one requiring a nicety of judgment. For instance, if a physician had charged during tho course of a’ yoar $10,000 for visits and only collected $6,000, it would be fair in him to return the latter amount as his income, provided if in the following year he added to his re- turns whatever of tho remaining $4,000 he subse- quently received; because if be returned the first amount and failed to collect the $4,000 he would be year, finds a profit of $10,000, He has samo time debtors to the umount of $40, Every prudent business man will classily such accounts ac- coraing to tho standing of those who owe hin. One class he will consider perfoctly sure, another doubt tully good and another doubtiully bad. | Thus he estab- lishes an approximately correct condition of bis bust- ness, and if in making his returns to the government he treats it as fairly as be does himself, I think no ex- ception abould be taken. ePORTKR—Did maoy persons pay taxes on their supposed incomes or upon actual returns? r. OnTON—My office was thut of collector, and I had nothing whatever to do with the assessments. The amounts payable by individuals were determined by the assessor, and came to me accepted by him. Reroxtgr—Where individuals negiected, declined or bn ga to make returns, what was tbe official infer- ence Mr. Ontox—I do not think it would be decorous for me now to express my opinions. Allegations of such & case aro made against Mr. Tilden, and it wou'd not be gracious in me to speak of the matter, espocially at wo are not in sympathy with the same political par- ties. The question ono of jaw, and if there has been any misinterprotation of it the courts can adjust the matter. The following conversation took place between @ Hxeatp reporter and Mr. Marshall B. Blake, the pres- ent collector of the Thirty-eccond district in this city :— ePoRTER—Did not all moneys arising trom sales of stocks, farms, houses, &c., though intendod for imme- jate reinvestment, euter into a person's income by de- cision of authority? Mr, Buaxx—Certuinly. The law did not consider tor ¢what purpose the money was realized—whether squaa- dored or invested 40 better advantage, Rxvorter—Did not the receipts of any one year, though not the earnings of that year, enter into the in- je all the same? ir. BLakk—Not always. Among merchants, bank- ers and traders that was the invariable rule, but among Protessional men in the habit of receiving fees it waa ‘optional, They were given their choice between their earnings and receipts as a basis for making their re turns, and having made the seiection, were not allowed to change their course, but were assessed accordingly. 1 dowot remember at present auy personal instances, but that was the manuer in which 1 was don Rerort ‘Were many io the habit of paying damage on Shete supposed incomes or did they return their in+ comes? Mr. Buaka—In the confusion which attended the in- troduction of an entirely new and tutricate system of taxation the returng at first were, uf course, not por- fect; but in a short time the business was thoroughly systematized, and the returns then were thorough and specific. ‘There was no supposition as to the amount of porson’s income. All the different sources of earn- ings were given separately, and whatever exemptions existed were allowed lor apd deducted, Rerortek—Was it common among the people to neglect to their returns for several yours, or to decline or reuse and accept tho penalty, and what was the official inference in such cases? Mr. Buakx—It hot a common thing either to de- cline, neglect or reiuse to make regular returus, Such cases were exceptional and eusily cured. In cases where returns were not made and the penalty accepted it was lett with the assessor to estimate the amount of the dolinquent’s income, and if the first attempt did not produce the desired effect the second assessment wat nough to bring out the required bject of refusing or declining to make them was the hope of a small assessment, but the few instances there Were avon disappeared under such treatmeut NEW XORK CATTLE MARKETS, Frpay, Sept. 15, 1878, RXORIPTS FOR TWO "Sen 24 ” Yar.
