lJoAKH OK A I.PKrtM KX. The Hoard
of Aldermen met iu regular session on
Friday evening 17th insU The Mayor
mode a brief statement in regard to the
collection of laxes dtte the city which
he stated was not paid as promptly as
heretofore, on account ol the tightness
f mouey. The following recommen
dations were submitted to the Hoard by
the Mayor, which were adopted :
Owing to tho great depression iu
business and the manner in which the
tax-paywrs were pressed for money to
pay their necessary expenses, the Hoard
of Aldermen, in January last, while
levying the taxes for theturrcnt year,
reduced the taxes on the merchants ol
our city $J0,KH). The Hoard of Asses
sors reduced tho assessment on real
estate in tho city 400 ,000, making a
reduction in taxes of $S,000, and the
tax on merchants' sales, known as the
license tax, has fallen oil" over o,000,
making a total reduction from the
amount received last year, and less than
the amount collected iu either of Iho
past tour years, or f.i.J.tW. llie lact
of such a large reduction in tho revenue
of Ihe city is to be very much deplored.
Owing to the hard times it becamo the
duty of the city government to footer
business and relieve the hard-w. irked
merchants as much as it was iu their
jiowcT to do. This, I um glad to say,
the Hoard cheerfully did. Now it le
(Miuoa our further duty to rt-duce the
expendiluresof llie city correspondingly
or as near a possible ; and I know that
tho Hoard of AldermeJ, being, as you
are, well aware of tho urgent ncccasity
of making all procr reductions in the
city cxiieuscs, will cheerfully sup port
such measures as will result, it is to be
hoped, satisfactory. Tlicrclorc I re
ipecllully recerumend thai the salaries
of the oifieinLs and .employe of the
cily bu reduced icslollows .

The above compariso!i shows t!iat

the city of Wilmington iu the current
expenses this year under the present
administration, as compared with the

iresidenl iu 1R71, the sani; of thirty-six
thousaiul seven buinfrtd; and ninetv-
fotir dollars and eight1) t Wo cents (foi,-

We are of the opiaioti that the w hole
matter is a put up job by some one to
make money at the expense of our al
ready heavily taxed iiii-ns. They
will in the end have the whole burden
to make tip in the way of increased
taxes, while some few may increase
their already well filled f pur-os. We
advise all of our citi.- iH who can do so
to pay up their taxes promptly, and
leave the dis.iir". ted few to shoulder
llie responsibility that they are e idi-av-oring
to create.

my race accept and act upon luoaciitt
ment of the Savior of mankind,, not
only, with regard to tho statcsmau and1
scholar whom you eulogize, but atl
those who directly, or otherwise brought
upon us untold, uncrauicated miseries.
Mr. 1 resident, when the ' brave aud
courageous liobt. E. Lee, presented to
that great soldier and great citizen, U.
S. Grant his sword, the war was ended.
peace was proclaimed, citizenship and
larlial citizens rights were guarauteeu
ty the grandest and most sublimo in
strument ever written or amended by
men on this dfltbybther continent.
Those whom I in part represent at
hist became what vou were and are
citizens; became, what the honored W.
A. Graham was, till the brittlo thread
was broken, till the Damoclcau sword
lei H each one of us an American citizen
As citizens of a common country we,
mingled our tears and share our regrets
with the white men of Icrth Carolina
and the United States, in view of this
great calamity which is no less one to
North Carolinians than to all American
citi.eifs. His virtues, his learning, his
excellence as a citizen, his national re
cord made him ho property of the
whole people. I honor hiui as au illus
trious American, who in other times,
among other peoples will be revered not
so much because of his birth place,
Carolina, but as a great American. :
His rise, his progress, his not un
timely fall, for ttie ripo matured fruit
ever falls to earth before the unripe the
unmatured, have become familiar lo
me since his death. 1 forbear to allude
again to those after hearing the concise,
full, graphic words of eulogy pronounc
ed by the gentleman who presented the
resolutions.
Hon. W. A. (Jraliam is especially la
mented by the gentlemen of this Con
vention, because,-he was a personal
friend of many, because he was fain) liar
with the Constitutions of tho State and
the amendments thereto, because he
knew his State and appreciated its
needs.
Let mo say to the gentlemen of this
Convention, his immediate colleagues,
that I shall be, and those whom I re
rescnt on this lloor, most happy to iu-
dulge the hope that the excellences of
(irahani will be emulated by us all and
them, aiui that they shall forget in the
presenceof the illustrious dead, politi
cal party ties, oelitical pledges, iKiliti-
cal affiliations in doing the work they
have determined on with no higher,
broader and other consideration in
view than tho conservation of tho best
interests of the whole regardless of
race, color, or previous condition of
servitude. -Mr. l'rcsideut, I placo a

It seems a little siugular,what an ac-

they are afraid unlcvi they pitch head

and extreme measures, lhat they w ill be
lsked upon w ith suspicion and doubt.
And they seem to forget that the Dem
ocrats are laughing in their slcovcaat
