VnlorR Trrporty Token lor Pub'ic Use. Ali. qucfUoTi th:tt concern the people all public questions, whether na'iao&l or miilei pal ehould be discussed ly tKo pros3 with fjiecial regard to truth. We wifh to observe th's rule iu what we now propose to sa with respect to tlio dispute which liaj arisen as to the value of the property that waa selected and appropriated by the City Councils, under their ordinance of June 23, 1301, wlih aviw to enlaige the FairuQOont Park, and to pre serve the purity of the water supplied from the Fairmount Works. At the meetiug of Councils on the 25th ultimo, Mr. Kixu, of , tHe Select Clumber, proposed to "repeal tho ordinance providing tor pajinz damages lor taking the property at Landing avenue lor pul lic purpoues." In support ol hU motion Mr. King presented a statement which showed that certain properties, which had been as sessed for taxation at a value of $30,030, were afterwards valued at $4SG,10l) by the jury ap pointed to assess the damages which the owners of the pioj crty sustained by reason of ita solection and appropriation by the city. This, certainly, on its face, and at tbe first blush, was a startling revelation, fitted to arouse, in no ordinary decree, the jealousy and mdigna'ion of every Uxpavcr who is not accusiouicd to look below the sur face of affairs. There can be no doubt that the enormous discrepancy be! ween the diflerent valuations of tho same properties is surprising. And yet it would not be safe to nay, in advauce of further investigation, which of the several ap praisements is most exact and re table. Mr. BuitWSTEB, the City Solicitor, has deter mined to brii.g the whole mattci before the proper court for careful revision ; aud there can be no doubt that the in erests of the city and its taxpayers will be l'aithlullv protected by him in the course of tho examination. If the award is not rleht in its details, he will csk the Court to condemn it partially or alto gether; and if the award should not be Judi cially conllimed, a new ass-essnient will be ordered, and justice between all parties con cerned eventually seemed. In a matter of this character, however, groat discretion should bo exercised. Possdoa and ignorance should be allowed no influence. Political prejudice una animosity, above all things, should be excluded. The people are only inteiesteJ to have the truth ascertained. The law authorizss the City Government to take private property for public use on the condition that the owners of the property shall be paid a fair price for it. But how is that condition to be determined? Who saalj decide what tho just valuation of n certaiu property or properties, taken for public use, really ia? We shall noi pretend to answer this question just now. But there is one tact as to which every citizen may feel quite clear ond positive in bis mind, and that is, that the assessments of properties in this city for the purpose of taxation afford no reliable measure of tLeir true value. It has long been notorious that the assessed value of real estate in Phila delphia, with a view to tax It for State and municipal purposes, is not its real value. It is not necessary just now to inquire why a property should be appraised below its cctual value when it is to be taxed, and appraised above that figure when ic is to be sold to the City Government for public use. It is enough tor the presou t to know that this variation in valuation actually takes place, and that a piece of ground, Improved or not improved, flint la aaaocaf. fl fnl lorna at nna iito may, in fact, be worth one hundred, three hundred, or even ten hundred per cent more than that price. We know that this is so. There are familiar Instances within our own knowledge, and the knowledge, also, of many of our readers, that will fully bear out the fact. Hence it follows that tho assessment of real estate for taxation is not the just standard by wb'ch to ascertain its real value. Nor can those whose property is valued for the purpose of taxation be required to correct the assessment made by tho offldora elected by the people to perform that duty. Nor Is any citizen likely to sell his property at the valuation put on it by the public assessor. If, then, tho city wish to buy a particular tract of ground for public use, it need not be amazed if a jury of intelli gent and honest men appraise it far above tho valuation at which it was assessed for taxes. But there is another fact worth considera tion in this connection. Whpn a property is asK-Bsed for taxation, its own intrinsic value only is counted. When it is tak n for public use, the business ol the piopiietor, who is turned out of occupation, must be embraced in tho estimate. A barren lot, open and unused, jray be wirth so much afoot. But the Bnme spi ce of earth occupied by the owner In the prosecution of a profitable busi ness, tfan only be fairly valued, when it Is to be. turned into a public park, by taking into the appraitf ment the "good-will" of the posi tion, and its peculiar advantecres lor the private utea for which it has been employed. Considerations of this kind are not reearded by tbe men who ussess real estate for taxation. But tbey must bo respected by a jury Appointed to estimate damages which the THE DAILY EV ENiNG TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 18CG. owners of properties will sustain when they are taken for public use. It is, nevertheless, certain, that all real estate in the city should be taxed at its actual value that is to say, at tbe value for which l: owners would sell It, either to private pur chasers or to the Government. The proprie tors should be mado to pay a tax on their property proportionate to tho price which they would demand for it if r Id privately and at their own option. TJ ls should bo tho criterion of tho assessment for taxation, whenever the fact ran bo discovered. It is not, however, possible, in a majority of Ciwes. to find out what pr else value a man puts on bis properly, or what he would freely nell it for. Yet, we are not quite suro that when the owner of the real ceUte wilfully allows it to be assessed for years at a certain pries, for taxes. h3 should not be held to that prlot) whenever tho public chooses to take tho ground at the valuation on which ho has con tented to have it appraised for taxation. In the particular case under consideration, the proper court will determine whether tho property in question was or was not rightly valued by the jurors appolnt-d to essebs the damages sustained by the ownets in having it taken from them for public uso. In tbe meanwhile, the tax-payors of tho city can suffer no harm, and tho Councils may &af:ly deter all action in the matter. raillaincntniy Politeness -The Nccw.sitr ol Consrrchsioiin' Courtesy. From time Immemorial a ccriain Deferential usage has prevailed iaall deliberative bodies a mutual courtesy has been ostentatiously displayed, which has npver been abandoned, even when personal and -party leeling ran highest. At the time of the framers of our Constitution, a spirit of party rancor was as strong as it is to-daj ; but that Inherent good breeding, that natural sense of what is due by a gentleman to himself, prevented an exhibi tion of that scurrilous personality which has of late yeais, from time to time, appeared In tbe House ol Representatives. The bitteroat invectives of John Randolph were always clothed w th all the official titles of th03e who were writhing under his sarcastic lash. Ibioughout the whole of ibo stormy sessions In the earliest portion of tho century, when the Federalists were called Monarchists, and tbe Democrats Jacobins, when Hamilton, Buck, and Jeff mison measured swords la wordy conflict, 'hero will not be found ap plied to each other o:ie terra half so disrespect ful, one epithet hall so ungentlemanly, as those which were used by Mr. Tiiaddecs Stevens in his remarks on his Excellency the Presi dent of the United states. Then it was a recognized maxim that cour tesy did not detract from argument, and that vituperation would neither strengthen a weak nor make forcible a pointless oration. The tone and language adopted by the leader of tbe House of Representatives towards tho President of the United States, must in uric the peverest condemnation of every riurht mJuded citizen. We care not what may have been Mr, Johnson's views what might bo his principles, or how radically wronij might have been his policy, he Is nevertheless the Chief Executive ot the nation, the official superior ot all Americans, the head and repre sentative ot the land. It matters not whether we agree with him or disagree ; whether Mr. Sthvenb believed him a traitor, or worship ped him as a denv-god; under all circum stances, he is entitled by right of his position to the resprct'ul attention and courteous deference ot every man, whether foreign or native-Lcrn. Did it strike Mr. Stevens that he added force to his style when he termed tbe President "that man at tho end of the avenue?" Did he think that he refuted all the doctrines of bis Excellency when he remniked that Mr. Johnson " had spoken when unasked," and that he "was doubly grateful for an opinion when it was not needed?" We behove tuat all Americans will loia us in considering that, had Mr. Stkvexs shown a courtesy, an even ultra deference, his remarks would have been much more effective, and his character much more elevated, than when be descended into the pit of ribaldry and abused his Excellency with a vim that would have done honor to a fishmonger of Billingsgate. A gentleman holiiug the high official post of Mr. Stevens should weigh well his words, end think of the eirect they will have upon the cars of lortign powers. How will it sound for such an address as his to go abroad and bo real by the enemies of our land on tho Continent? With what scorn will they view this destruction of the wall of dc cency ; this overthrow of all the barriers o conventional politeness 1 Well may we bo subjected to ridicule when a leader in the land so far sacrifices his good sense, his pro priety, to bis passion, as to speak of th highest person In our country as though he were a miserable lobbyist, or an ignorant and sub servient pot-house politician. We regiet most keenly this disgraceful tone, this language so at vurlurce with the demands ot the common est amenities of life. For come what may, be the President guilty of the violation of every command in the Decalogue, it Is certainly In appropriate to address him with any other than his official title. It is the office, not the man; and when any Congressman so far de means himself as to permit his tongue to sieakinthe language of Mr. Stevens, he Ibrpeta what U due to his own self-respect. a3 much as he does that deference which is the right ot the Chief Executive of America. A moiibid bpiimt of epidem'c crime Is being cultivated among our community, and hundreds of our citizens are being fascinated by the hideous deed of the most atrocious of our murderers. We say fascinated charmed, opell bound with the horrible details. To see tbe crowds of young men who stand gazing and gloating over the trial ol this man Berqrb to see scores of younat women thronging round the doors and listening on tlptee to citch the recital of all the harrowing Incidents, Is to furn sh a clue for the detection of future murderers, to see a collecilon of can didates for criminal honors. It Is a fact, proved by the records of history, that when ever a great crime startles a community, a fort ot mauiacal epidumlc so ecs the people. The murder of Bolinobroke by Fletcher vaa fol'owed by an extraordinary period of homicides. The death of Villiam of Oansre was succeeded by a series of unprecedented crimes, while the additions to the insane asy lums testify that tte deloterlous e2?ct of tho assufsinatlon of Mr. Linc oln extended far beyond bis own death. So also we loar It will be with the W ait murder. And shoald such an evil befall our city as an epide nlc of crimes tbe cause can be found In the gaping crowds who look upon Dehors as a hero, hoinbie indeed, yet majestic in the m igni- tudc of bis crime. The Election of Hon. Hfiibctikl V. Joufor.'. A recent telegram from Georgia announces that the Legislature ot that State elected Ali xandeb II. 6tepiien9 United States Senator, that Mr. Stephens declined, end that Ueiicchfd V. Johnson has been elec cd lor the place. Likewise, that Mr. Johnson has sienifled his acceptance of the pct. We admire tbe soirit that dictated the iciusal ol Mr. Stephens One who ba been ns dccplv engaged in tho plot of treason as bo has, is surelj in the right in refusing to accept a position of trust and honor undor the Goveri.mcnt whosp existence he jeopard ized. Yet if there is one of the leaders of tho Rebellion .'or whom we have both a sympathy and a respect, that man is Ai exakdeb H. Stephens. We do not quote the fact that be was dragged into the vortex of treason against his conscience and his seme, as any cx enuation tor his fault, but tho honest, manly course he pursued previous to the wai, and the love ot Union which has continua'ly displayed itself while the struggle contiiHH d, shows ihat it there was a Southern leader who could with propriety reoccupy a United States office, that leader was Mr. Stepueks That he has declined adds but another evidence to secure for him the sym pathy ot those who were his bitter denouncers and ui e to-day his conquerors. We wihh as much could be said of Hers- C'uel V. Johnson, a defeated candidate for, tbe i oft of Vice President on the ticket with tbe lamented Douglas his record is Tirtt ft li i i Ana TT titia Vr on n nnajiTTA though not less willing tool in the hands of tho Southern chiefs. And now he comes back and asks readmission to the Senate as one of its equally honored members. One by one are the old name-, the names ot those who hue perjured themselves in the cause of treason, who have violated their oaths, and lett the Senate with scorn and curses, appear ing upon the roll ol members demanding admis sion. Miould this k.'ep on we will soon have the 6ame faces la the old seats, and tho gentle men from Georgia will a:ain fill the Cham ber with their invective aeainst the Senator from Massachusetts. Ihe very men who arose, and with scoff and contempt left the body, wi'l retu.n to it and be welcomed as brothers. The man who turned his back upon Anuri v Johnson in scorn, nnd termed him a traitor to ihe South, will soon reappear, and defeated Rebels will be rewarded as honored Senators of the ration. Would that we had a Ciceho to scourge these Catat.ines with h's philippics cut of the Capitol, and show to all how fcul a thing la an insolent, audacious, yet defeated traitor. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
