Has the Doctor ever read the story of the adulter ous woman who was brought to Jesus? There is doubt that the punishment visited by society upon this class of offenders is in many cases far too severe' gives no room lor repentance to a woman has sinned though slie seek it Carefully with tears' "Certainly there is no that' anything 'should be said from the pulpit to strengthen' the barriers which have been erected against the return of such women from the ways of vice When Dr Boynton insists that they "shall not be permitted to return except through the' door df conversion and church membership what does he do butturtxthe Gospel into a flaming sword with which to stop the passage by which some wayward feet might return to of virtue? But whatever may be the condemnation visited upon adulterous women by society we insist that the men who are the partners of their guilt ought to share it It is not justice it is themost outrageous injustice (which turns the wo man out with a curse upon her and welcomes the man with smiles and flajtery to the best society In nine cases out of ten the man is the greater criminal The social5 judgment that makes her the scapegoat of his crimes is a relic of barbarism and we are ashamed that a Christian minister should be found defending it Genera!

September 13 The Examination of Treasury There has been a strange and remarkable cus tom introduced in the Treasury Departnitjnt that is an examination' for 'promotion of clerks from grade to gradeThis examination is a repetition of the same proceeding before the first appoint ment only more rigorous lengthy and more complicated in mathematics But this examina tion contains absolutely nothing which to the actual duties of the clerks on their desks I It must be borne in mind that only suchclerks who have proved to be very efficient are reconf mended tor promotion therefore this examina tion which is a mere school examination 'is not Justifiable as of middle age have mostly forgotten their school dav exercises and ought not to be subjected to so humiliating a repetition of a schoolmaster examination by more favored clerks who never passed themselves any examination The examination for the may be falsified as there is not a certain college certi ficate required as In European enlightened count tries but this repeated examination for each pro motion is no proof of the efficiency of the clerical qualifications of the individual in question On the contrary it has been asserted by chiefs of bu reaus and divisions that they prefer those clerks who were recommended for promotion but did not pass this school examination to any othenoledcs in the performance of their duties 'and if an exg amination is insisted upon it ought to refer only to a knowledge of the duties and regulations of 'the offices to which the clerks belong This is the opinion of many clerks who have the ex amination satisfactorily but feel sorely ated by this absurd and cruel process of A re peated school examination Clerici September 15 Tbe Working Bisterbood President Club: Dear Sister: or I can not content myself with a less familiar salutation since your work is so directly in the line and spirit of what I am alining to institute in the thought and purpose of Ameri can womanhood Mrs Severance read hs a of your letter at our last meeting and you may be assured we all rejoice in and wlth ybu and pray that your heart may be strengthened exceedingly I have dwelt much upon the darkness of mind and false modesty which repressed aspira tions and powers in ail directions when it is ne cessary she should be the instrument of light eousness and purity Your stcps are ln the direction of real purification I know And the first in our country strictly in the line of the example of Jusus the Christ The false logic and modesty of Christendom which make women appear to shut their eyes and ears and dwell in Ignorance of conditions which area pitfail and snare for husbands sons and brothers and a constant defilement 'to the mar riage bed" have defrauded society and human der velopment of that element which alone can save by making pure God grant rthat you and your coadjutors shall be kept by Divine strength firm in purpose and fearless in courage abounding in patience and faith and so carryforward into com pletion this work which will no doubt sooner of later be assailed in some manner bf the powers of darkness I hope I may meet you at no very dis tant date trusting that I may be in Washington the coming winter I am seeldng to arouse the motherhood first and feel that to a wiser and more consecrated power in that office is the fundamen tal hope of the world We have every reason to hope we shall have unanimity of effort and Affect ive work in Boston in the interests of a better edu cation for promoting higher morality and purer social state or righteousness yonr4B' Lucinda CHANDure Gloucester Mass September 11 1871 Offense to tbe Germans To the Editor of the Chronicle: Would it not be better tor the interests of tem perance if some of the advocates ot that issue would use more reasonable just and intelligent arguments than they have been in the habit of doing I The undersigned are prompted to'maka this suggestion by the inciting mean and disrespect i ful harangue delivered by a temperance preacher to an audience at the corner of Seventh and Pennsylvania avenue' on' Sunday last' Instead of confining himself to the task of ex plaining to his hearers the evils of intemperance (and to try to prevent them from indulging in! Intoxicating drinks in the future this (as he proved" himself to be) of intolerance and bieotry seemed to direct all his expressions so as to be a rigid abuse of the German population theeiiy and county In attempting to heap the respiffisibility of drunkenness on the Germans this man went all through the German and war which proved conclusively that a bitter hate of the German is at the bottom of all his pre tended temperance His perfect ignorance of foreign affairs was clearly demonstrated when he expressed his sorrow at seeing the German and' American flags hanging side by side Inasmuch as every school boy knows that not only there exists the most perfect relations' between the United States and Germany but that the Germans belong to the most respectable class of our free citizens In his partisan Spirit the lecturer was severe on the consumption of lager beer probably being lg i norant of the fact that rfot only is beer a healthy1 and harmless article but it is the most powerful antidote against that mighty poison whisky In short Mr Editor we ha ve heard enough of this long mouthed hypocrite to warrant us in demand ing that no American audience should again lis ten to such a biased lecturer The public know him If he wishes to indulge In abuse upon our most respectable citizens let him talk to the curb tone tor his expressions will only have the effect! of kindling a spirit of animosity to which we are strangers at present i Such ideas as his wlll at once undermine all our freedom and liberty and his attempts to enforce a strict Sunday law prohibiting all amusem*nts andi recreations will receive the most fierce opposl lion of German American Citizens September 1 'U': However much of Justice there may be in the above communication we certainly differ essen tially with the assertion that 18 a healthy and harmless article As a beverage we do ndt believe It to be wholesome or Ed ulford female seminary Sandy Springs Montgomery county Md The exercises of this school will be resumed on the 3d of October next but the pupils will be ex pected on the 2d or further particulars please apply for a circu lar JAMES 8 HALLOWELL se6 12t Proprietor and Principal NewYork September 18 The following cor respondence explains itself Mayor's Office September 18 1871 Sir: I am advised that your action in remitting absolutely during a specified term of several months to a deputy comptroller all and every power and duty of Comptroller is such a relin quishment of your office and so antagonistic to a legal construction of the spirit of the charter that your procedure is equivalent in law to a resignation of your office of Comptroller of the city of New York and I hereby accept such resignation I am also advised that when the power of ap pointment to office is given without restriction upon or without express statutory enactment re garding the power of removal the latter exists as an incident to the power of appointment and that the process of impeachment is a merely coordi nate but not conflicting power to remove in effect an impeached officer by procuring a va cancy Therefore to save all question I also hereby remove you from the head of the inance De partment Very truly yours A Oakey Hall Mayor of the city To Richard Connolly late Comptroller of tbe city of New York The Mayor offers the Comptrollership to General George McClellan Executive Department City Hall I New York September 16 1871 My Dear Sir: The action of Richard Con nolly in retiring from the discharge of his official duties for a term of five months has created a va cancy in the office of Comptroller of the city of New York as I am advised and believe the pub lic interests demand that it should be filled imme diately by some gentleman of acknowledged ability not directly connected with local politics and whose name commands the respect and con fidence of the people of the city State and coun try as well as of the financial centers of Europe I am confident that your acceptance of the Comptrollership will at once restore that pub lic confidence in the financial administration of the city which is absolutely necessary in my judgment' to preserve not alone the public credit but the public peace I ask therefore your prompt acceptance A Oakey Hall To General George McClellan tl New York Comptroller's Office September 18 A Eon A Oakey Hall Mayor: Sir: I have read in the morning papers only!

on Saturday last Two parties claimed a tract of forty acres at He lena Montana on which a mill was erected The Commissioner decided that neither party was en titled to enter the claim under the preemption law as the land was used for purposes of trade and not agriculture and neither claimant used the land for agricultural purposes nor did either claim any Interest in the mill Tax on Spirits About 30 per cent of all the spirits produced during the existence of the bonded system oper ated under the internal revenue laws yielded a tax of 82 yer gallon while 40 percent remained in bonded warehouses after the 20th day of July 1868 and realized to the Government a tax of 60 cents a gallon The remaining 30 per cent is ac counted for by the amount exported and allowed for breakage These figures would indicate that the Government has received upon eaeh gal lon of spirits shippedan aniount not exceeding 81 cents per gallon Evasion of the Revenue Laws Supervisor Perry of North and South Carolina district is in the city' and was informed yester day by letter from the assessor of the 6th North Carolina district that in Tadkin county two illicit stills which were in full running order had been seized also 130 gallons of brandy and twenty! six hogs Mr Perry deputy a few days ago no him that he had seized four large tobacco factories in this district for re using revenue stamps and other fraudulent practices The owners have been turned over to the courts The Extra Duty Pay i 1 It has been ascertained that the appropriation out of which the hospital stewards were expected to receive their extra duty pay (as recently allowed them by the decision of the Second Comptroller will cover only a small portion of the claims al lowed The question now is what claims shall be paid first? It seems that the great majority of these claims were filed by the same attorney at one time and none can have priority for payment It is suggested by Comptroller Brodhead that they cast lots for the amount on hand The New Internal Bevenue Stamps The Glen Mills Paper Company in Pennsylva nia have fulfilled their contract with the Govern ment and furnished about 15000000 sheets of the new style of paper on which are to be printed the new revenue stamps The contractors in New York who are to print the borders have received the paper from the mills and the paper with that portion of the work upon it is expected at the In ternal Revenue Bureau next week The filling in is to be done at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and it is expected that by the first of November a large supply will be on hand ready for issue Old Accounts Disposed Of The reorganization of the Third Office recently made by General Rutherford greatly facilitates the business of that office and by the end of the present fiscal year it is expected to have all of the property accounts of army offi cers during the war closed up and finally settled This is to be brought about by the discontinuance of the useless and unwarranted system which has been carried on for a few years past in settling this class of accounts and the official statsment as furnished at the Third Office shows that the cost of collecting the money due for lost property in charge of officers has five times ex ceeded the aggregate value of such property Under the present system the account ability are gone over in a systematic order and where there is an entry showing that Officer John Smith owes the Government 32 for stationery while doing duty on the frontier the item is can celed and the Government saves 85 which would be the cost of collecting the claim Although this new mode of transacting business hastens the work of a bureau and consequently alarms some clerks who always object to any depar ture it is believed that the disposition of petty cases in a manner mentioned above will be econom ical to the people and consequentlyjmeet their ap'r proval Ttie Clear and Tobacco Tax i The tobacco manafacturers are expected here soon to revive and agitate the old question of the reduction of the tobacco tax Commissioner Douglass has not as yet laid out his line of policy as to what he will recommend in connection with this matter and as there is such a diversity of opinion between Congress the tobacco manufac turers and internal revenue officials it is ex tremely doubtful if anything whatever is done in the matter and in all probability it will be deemed expedient to let the matter stand just as it is at present The manufacturers complain that the tax of sixteen cents per pound on the poorer qual ity of tobacco and thirty two cents for the best grades is a grievous one and it should be made more uniform But their idea of uniformity is to fix the rate of taxation at sixteen cents per pound for all classes of just what the Govern ment receives for the poorer grade of tobacco at the present time The manufacturers oppose every proposition to fix the rate ata figure slightly above sixteen cents and although the commit tees of Congress have stood ready to reduce the tax and make it more uniform the idea has never met with favor among the manufacturers except it is fixed at their rate Which if allowed would take 810 000 000 per annum from the revenue of the Government and the efforts made in this behalf have always very properly met with dis favor before the committees of Congress The cigar tax which is only a half a cent on each cigar (domestic no matter what the price is bringing in a revenue of about 36000000 a year This tax of a half cent has been in vogue for four years past and although there are some opportunities to evade the law which are in a great many instances taken advantage of it is believed that as much revenue can be collected from cigars with the rate as at present fixed as by any other system and from present indications it is not expected that any change in this tax will be recommended i The twelfth annual ses sion of Mrs 8 A Select School for Boys
