Liquor Toctet. Tbe Comptroller hM addressed a circu lar letter to the Receivers of Tax Returna in the State, stating that tbe great num ber of lettem received, asking explana tions about tax on “Intoxicating Bittern’’ and “liquor Dealers," necessitates this oiroutar. “All dealers in intoxicating bittern or any other artiole of like kind,” should pay a $25 tax both for 1876 and 1877. For nothing else, exoept bittern, mentioned in said circular (of 20th Maroh), do you oollect a tax for 1876. ‘Every dealer in Spirituous or Malt Liquor,' pays a $25 tax for 1877.’ " There wm no tax on such dealers in 1876.

City Light (turret At a meeting of this company lMt eve ning, it wm decided to accept the invita tion of the ladies to join in the oelebra- tion on the 26th instant. The company will parade on Memorial Day in black frock eoata, white pants and felt bats. The reason for not appearing in uni form is that the new uniform has not been received and the present one is con. trolled by a few individual members, only about twenty uniforms being in posses sion of the members who can use them. The oompany voted to abandon the pres ent uniform. Hike is a judicial decision whioh will give comfort to customers of tailors. A ms wm sued in New York for the price of suit of clothes, which he refused to pay for because it didn’t suit and didn’t fit him. The tailor maintained that the olothes were a good fit, but the defend ant pat them on, and the jury promptly decided that he needn't pay for them. Tho price of the suit wm $75, and the oosts of the suit were over $100, whioh the plaintiff had to pay. So long as there is justice for a man whose clothes don' fit him, we shall not despair of tbe ulti mate triumph of right. CHEAPER THAN EVER!!

Oondeorad from the Register.] —For the tax year 1876 Boykin Jones, tax collector, hM collected and paid over the Connty Treasurer $9,199 89 for oounty taxes. This amount is appropri ated and made np as follows: Special county tax, $3,000; bridge fund, $1,- 549 97; contingent fund, $774 99; gen eral county taxes, $874 93. The Treas urer hM paid oat for special county tax $3,449 19, for bonds and interest tbereon the compromise by finance board. This amount is $449 19 more than wm in hands of the Treasurer, but which will be provided for by fntnra appropriations from money to be paid over to the Treu- nrer. Of tbe contingent fund $699 25 hM been paid oat, leaving balanoe on band, $75 74. This contingent fund is set apart by the Commissioners' Court to meet tbe payment of each claim* M in their judg ment should be first paid, bat which arc not made preferred claims by the tews. We understand thst the entire amonnt of the bridge fund, $1,549 97, collected for 1876 is still on band, and of tha bridge fund collected in 1875 there ia a balance of $62 05 (till in tbe banda of the Connty Treasurer. The Tax Collector hM not made hia final settlement with tbe Connty Treasurer bnt will do so some time next month. He next will advertise another sale of tends for delinquent taxes of 1876, to be had about tbe middle of May proximo. This rale will be had to make the delin quent taxes of those Msessments which were left out of the advertisement and sale had on the first Monday in April instant, and m to which the beat deputies of the collector were confidently BMured by tbe tax-payers that they wonld be paid. Some twenty-fonr thousand dollars of the original indebtedneM of the oonnty been compromteed at fifty per cent, deduction in county bonds, leaving still outstanding Some three thousand dollars— and about twenty-one bnndred in connty scrip. For tbe compromteed claims be tween eleven and twelve thousand dollars bonds have been issned to the credi tors. The first payment of one-sixth of the bonded debt hM been made, aggre gating about thirty-four hundred dollars and interest for one year on the entire bonded debt bM been piid. The bonded debt, principal and interest, is to be met annually on the first of February, when one-sixth of tbe principal is to be paid according to age and precedence on the registering book of tbe Connty Treas- urer and all tha interest at aight per cent, per annum. To meet such payment the Commissioners’ Court is levy s speoial tax of tweoty -five per cent on the State tax on all taxable prop erty and business in tbe connty, to be col lected as the general State and county taxes are. Last year no special tax wm imposed upon the licensed business be cause when the compeomise wm agreed on by tbe parties and ratified by tbe Court of Commissioners ( which was in August last) all or nearly all lieenses had already been taken ont and paid for. Bat this year tbe tax is demanded and imposed, and the fnnd will be thus increased. Tbe board calculates that with discreet and economical disposition and management of tbe funds realized from the general county tax some part of the bonded debt can be liquidated and it is thought that probably that oan be done this year. At any rate the hope is still entertained that the whole amount can be paid up within the six yearn from February, 1876, from which date tbe compromise embracM interest and commences to ran.

Pryor to deliver the annnsl address on May 30th, wm read. On motion of Corporal J. A. Tanner a re ply reminding Barbara Freitohie Post that tbe Memorial Committee wm in no way responsible to it for any aotion it sees fit to take wm adopted. Tbe reply adds: We would furthermore state to them that we invited Gen. Roger A. Pryor to deliver an address in the Academy of Music on the night of Decoration Day for the ressoD thst he fonght against us in the war for thg preservation of the Un ion; that he is an able man, and that we believe such action calculated to prove to the country that tha men who fonght its battles do not desire to see it forever di vided by sectional animosities growing out of the war. Further, Gen. Pryor hav ing accepted tbe invitation “in the fall spirit in which it wm tendered," and the probabilities being that a distinguished ex-Union General will apeak on the same occasion, we shall have cause, when the affair is consummated, to congratulate ail ooDcerned,and would respectfully request tbe members of Barbara Freitohie Post to attend. Mr. Tanner raid that he had received the following: Deab Sib—As yon know, I aecepted tbe invitation to deliver the address on the ossorsnoe that it wm nnanimonsly ten dered, and thst by fulfilling the offioe I should contribute somewhat to the prev slence of good feeling between the sur viving soldiers of the war. It seems thst wm a misapprehension.

Pbyob. 147 Willow street, Brooklyn, April 15, 1877. The oommittee then nnanimonsly de clined to acoept Gen. Pryor's declination of tbs invitation, believing the declina tion to have been written nnder a misap prehension of the sentiments actuating the oommittee. When Corporal Tanner, Gen. H. W Slocum, and ex-Alderman Trowbridge, l oommittee who wm Bent to Gen. Pryor with the reeolutipn, returned they report ed that Gen, Pryor bad reoonsidored hia declination, and wonld serve m he had at first agreed.

Sea island was in limited demand and quotat on* were unchanged. Sales were made at a slight conce>sion. Futures opegod rather fl t with limited business. The decline until Monday evening, however, only amounted to about 3-32d, but on Tuesday, under the influence of threatering pjlltics and a local failure, the market was very depressed, and in some posi tions sold at a decline ot 7-321, since then the market has rallied, and the last trancsactlons were only 1-161 below the eurrent rates ot last Thursday.
