TAXKS.
We have frequently shown how lucorgru
oui, unequal, and badly executed our tax
laws are. Ignbrant asse'sor?, and negligent
col'ectors make the matter worse l'enplo
never pay tuxes willingly, It Is true, hut
they have the tight to see that such burdens
are equitably distributed, faithfully collected
and the money honestly applied, To show
what a wretched system wo havo, and how
poorly even that Is executed we collato a few
facts from the Commlnsloner's Statement of
valuation and taxes for 1877. Conynghnin
towuhlp, with 3S7 taxables returns 10 dogs
and Sugarhinf with hut 200 taxables returns
122, lterwick has 318 taxables and only 711
men fit for military duty, and Scott about
nue in three. In the matter of money at
Interest the returns Irom Denton, HrinrcrreV,
Centralia, Centre, Conyngham, Hemlock,
Jackson, Locust, Mt. Pleasant, I'ine and
Snparloaf show not one dollar at Interest,
and Hshing Creek modestly reports $30 00,
The whole matter Is a transparent fraud on
its face. In Conyngham there is one pleas,
lire carriage valued at $$25 00,and in Sugar
loaf there are none 1 In Heaver there is
only ons watch, and in ilenton, Driarvreck,
Conyngham, Fishing Creek.Vranklln, Hem
lock, Jackson, Locust, Madion,Main, I'ine,
Itoaring Creek, and Sugarloaf there are
none returned I
The above statements givo a fair lllustra
tlon how other property is either not assessed
or else not fairly valued, The result is Hint
the assessor who makes a faithful return
subjects the lax-payers of his township to
an undue share of taxation, whilst the div
honest or negligent officer exonerates tboe
in his district to a largo extent. It may be
said that the fault is with Ihe people, who
should elect better men,but it is not in human
nature foi voters to voluntarily place add!
tlonal burdens on their own shoulders. The
remedy is to have competent and disinter
ested parties appointed by nn independent
tribunal.
As to the collection of taxes, all county
and local taxes should he collected by but
one person in a district, and thus avoid the
nuisance of being dunned by a dozen differ
ent men, with the risk of being made to pay
the same tax twice, or of having it returned
to the Treasurer. Not only this, but one
collector could afford to collect the whole
tax much cheaper, because the additional
duplicates would add but yery little to his
labors.
AIMUUKNKII C0UKTS.
By reference to the Court proceedings it
will be seen that an order has been made for
an adjourned court in March. During the
past year the time has been so much occu
pied with the trial of criminal cases that
the civil list has grown to large proportions
and Is still Increasing. Last February the
entire session was used up in the Ilea Horn
cide trial, and since then the first week of
every court has passed in disposing of the
numerous cases of petty larceny, assault
anti-battery, and the like. In consequence
of the large number of civil Buits that have
thus accumulated, a petition signed by all
the members of the Bar was presented to
the court last week, asking that an order
be made changing the terms to threo weeks
each, and giving the first week entirely to
the Quarter Sessions business, motions, ar
guments, &c. Tho Judg(s for good reasons
have not made the order for terms of three
weeks, but will hold adjourned courts from
time to time at seasons of the year most con
venient to farmers and others, until the list
is reduced to reasonable size. We are in
formed that a rule will be made that all
cases put on the trial list fur these adjourned
courts, will not be allowed to he continued
by consent of parties, except for good rea
sons. This arrangement, will bo a great saving.
Parties now come here the first week of
cou'twith witnessts prepared to try civil
c-auses, and after waiting the whole week
are obliged to go home without trial, their
expenses in many cases being hundreds of
dollars. The action on the part of the court
and lawyers is intended fo prevent such use
less expense.

HOOML'l) TO lit HON TIIR OAM.OW8.
NoRHiarow.v, December 10. This morn
ing tho sentenco of death was pronounced
upon Hcnrlch Wnlilen, convicted of tho inur-
ler of Max Hugo Decline, at Kim station, on
tho 17th of October, l87fi.
The prisoner was brought into tho cojitt
room shortly before ton o'clock, pinioned as
usual, and in tho custody of two officers of tho
court. Tho court room was very thinly at
tended, from tho fact that Judge Koss, in or
der to avoid tho prscnco of n large audience,
tad not given out publicly that ho intended
to pronounco sentenco this morning.
Wahlen looked very well and was especial
ly improved in nppcaranco by a pair of sido
whiskers, which hohas been cultivating sinco
his conviction. T. Warren O'Neill, esq., tho
junior cnuticl for tho prisoner, was present
in court, but Oeorgo N. Corson, esq , his col
league, whom tho court sent for before pro
nouncing sentence, returned tho answer that
ho did not desire to bo present, and request
ed tho court to proceed without him.
"May it please tho court," said District
ttorney Gotwaltz, rising, "John Keller, ali
as lleinricli Walilen, alias .Max Hugo
Hoehnc, was indicted by a grand jury at tho
September sessions of 187, upou a bill charg
ing him with the murder of Max Hugo
lloehiie, on tlio 17th of October, 187(1, and
on (no lUtli oi September, 18ii, ho was nr
raigncd for trial in open court. A jury was
selected by himself, and after being ably do
fended by talented counsel appointed by tho
court, after t careful hearing of his case, and
when this court had thrown around tho pris
oner, by its rulings, every protection possible,
tho jury returned with a verdict of murder in
tho first degrco. ith that verdict the com
monwcallli is well satisfied, and believe the
prisoner is guilty of the murder of which he
has been convicted. Some fifty or more rea-
sons aro filed for a new trial j the prisoner's
counsel by ablo argument endeavored to sup
port theso reasons, but the court refused to
grant tho motion. That being tho case it be
comcN my duty as representing tho common
wealth of Pennsylvania to movo this court
that tho judgment of the law bo pronounced
upon tho prisoner."
Judge Boss then asked Wahlen if he had
anything to say why the judgment of tho law
should not bo pronounced against him,
The prisoner who had more than onco re
ferred to souio notes ho had in his possession,
asked his honor if ho could see Dr. Haupt,
tho prison physician, before he said anything,
as ho was in a very nervous condition. His
request was granted and Dr. Haupt was sent
for, ami after a brief conversation with the
prisoner, tho latter manifested a desire to
proceed. Tho court room was silenced and
all eyes were turned upon Wahlen, who be
gan a statement which bore evidence of care
fill preparation and was spoken in clear Eng
lish, although at times the unfortunato man
failed to make intelligent connections.
"Your honor, tho judge," said Wahlcu.be'
ginuiug in a tremulous tone, "I will mako a
few remarks on my unhappy condition both
oi uouy ami mmu, ino terrible crime at Win
Station, of which I was brought in guilty has
not been shown to a court and jury in its truo
light, and it is necessary that it should bo ex
plained, so that tho court and people can dis
tinguish between right and wtoug. This ter-
riblo affair has been simply declared by a fel
low named Strepolski, who stood before a
court and jury and produced a story for his
own protection and for my condcmnat.on. In
tho uamo of humanity and justice I ask you
to hear me and believe what I say. Strepol
ski is the murderer in my opinion. Tho chain
of circumstances put around me failed in its
connection. How can the commonwealth
perfect a chain of evidence when the links are
missing?
"I declaro I am not guilty of said crime,
continued wahlen, anu innocence is my
cheerful companion ; in innocence I seek re
lief and in innocenco I shall stand as firm as a
rock until the day of my death. In connec
tion with tho great error in my trial I can form
a very particular point. By this letter," said
tho prisoner producing an envelope from his
pocket containing a communication which tho
court had previously learned had been manu
factured by souio one of friendly inclination
to Wahlen, "Detective Abrams has for gain
ot gold, committed perjury, which is hero on
tirely proven. I can further prove that Kar
nest Liebich, whom perhaps your honor will
recollect, and who testified on my trial that I
had given to him at his homo on Callowhill
street my name as Max Hugo Hoehno I can
provo what ho said was entirely false. If
your honor shall not believo my words, per
haps in tho current ot lite tho truth may come
out, and the guilty brought to confession.
This will then put the seal of truth on what I
am to-day saying. Tho only protection I
havo received in my trial for this murder
came from your honor and from my counsel,
especially tho younger. His earnestness in
my behalf I shall never forget, and may God
bless him in his business and in everything
ho undertakes."
After saying 'a kind word for Dr. Haupt,
whom, he said, had with his medical advice,
helped him through serious illness, Wahlen
concluding, said : "I would speak more in
detail in reference to my condition and to my
trial, but as my health has been in a very
nervous condition that is most impossible."
'The court has heard your statement and
denial of tho crime of which you stand con
victed," said Judge lloss in pronouncing sen
tence. "This is neither tho timo nor tho
plaeo for tho court to discuss that question,
for a jury of this county, after a patient and
careful jieariug, havo declared you guilty in
tho first degTec. If you be not guilty it would
seem that all logical connection of facts, ev
ery sequence of circumstances havo by souio
terrible mi"take been turned against you.
The court feels that you havo had a fair
trial, and that every construction of tho law
has been made in your favor. This crime,
which is a mcmorablo one, has been gradu
ally revealed, and to-day in this last, finish
ing act justice is vindicated. Necessarily, I
think the judgment of this court will be car
ried out. I do not believo thcro is hopo on
earth for you, cither from the law or tho ex
ecutive, therefore I trust you will proparo for
a better life, and it is to bo hoped that the
spirit which you manifest in your remarks
this morning will continue to guide your course
until your death. Nothing now remains for
me but to pronounco sentence upon you ; and
the sentenco is that you Hienrich Wahlen,
tho prisoner at tho bar, bo taken to tho
Montgomery county prisou, and kept there
until taken to. tlio plaeo of excoutlon, and
thcro bo hanged by tho neck until you are
dead, and may tho ever-living God havo mer
cy on your soul."
Wahlen sat down apparently unnerved,
without giving evidence of tho slightest ctao
tion, and was shortly afterwards taken back
to his cell.
The ltepubllcans who denounced Patter-
ton and Conover in such terrible lauguage a
short time slnco, calling them "thieves" and
"penitentiary birds," have calmed down
gince they voted to admit Kellogg, another
carpet-bag thief and rogue, and have re.
elected them to the Chairmanship of I in
portant committees. "Politics makes strange
bed-fellows."

When the t'me arrived tho court houo was
filled with spectator, together with ninny
members of the bar, The answer, as already
printed in tho Gatcllit nml Jlulldin, was rend to
thecourt by Mr. II. W. Watson, together Willi
the separate statement of Messrs. Tlieodoro f X ill
and H. M, l'orsman, showing that a majority
of councils had endeavored to defeat all action
to obey the mandate, and that they could not
sign the anwer became some of the allegations
cnntilnul there were rot true.
Mr. Wnton alo tarlol that two members of
the select council Mcsr. Billies and Otto-
had not signed the nniver lecnuc they were
confined In llieir roonn by Illness. Mr. W. II.
Taylor hid in the meantime removed from

Mr. Wat -on then entered Into an argument

UKMAISK.S OF Jtti. 1'AIIKEIt.
Mr. Parker, of counsel lor the bondliLldtr
addressed the court. He staled that (here had
been remarkable energy displayed by tha coun
cils for the last few days, anil those who know
their history had expressed surprlso. In their
answer councils havo failed to give dates. Up
to the 3d of December hardly a step had been
taken to obey the mandates of the court. He
read his affidavit fallowing the action of councils
sinco the mandamus was issued, reciting tho
dates, Ac. And then remarked : "Is It nny
wonder that they were not ready to answer on
the 3 1 of December?" Duo diligence, w.ts not
taken to answer the decree of court. Councils
would hardly attempt to issue more bonds when
it is remembered that they had already attempt
ed repudiation. Members of councils have said
that they only voted for tho bond ordinance to
purge therasclvts of contempt, knowing it to be
void. This is rntorlous in Willi imsport. As
sessors havo not vet been appointed, and coun
cils, according to their records, are in contempt
of die. court. Is it not time that thdso who sit
as lawmakers, no matter how subordinate,
should he taught lhat they must not bo law
breakers? lie concluded by asking that all the
members, excepting those who are ill, be
brought before the court for contempt.
ItEJOINDKIl OK Mil. WATSON.
In reply Mr. Watson referred to the minutes
of common and select councils to show what
had been done. The speaker would not admi t
that any of the members intended tu act in dis
respect of court, except Mr. Ciagj, who lias not
signed the answer or filed any explanation of
his conduct. lie defended the councils and
staled that the introduction nf the ordinance
showed that there was no intent to act in con
tempt. The assessment act was then cited in
proof of what he said. As a body councils had
endeavored to comply with iho mandates, not
withstanding a few members may have opposed
the ordinance and talked against its passage on
tho streets.
BESIVI1K3 Of Mil. HENTLKY.
Mr. lientley said that he occupied tho unfor
tunate po-ition of beins a member of tho com
mon conncll of Williamsport, while at the same
time he was nneof cotin-el for the bindholders.
No excuse of councils showing their inability
to comply with the mandamus has been filiil.
Many members aro anxious to comply with the
rule, but there are others who are determined
to put in every ob-truction against raising the
mow until they are ready to act, and some of
them declare lhat there is no court that can
compel them to act until they are ready. The
very vole of councils in opxsUion to the op
pointment of assizors showed lhat they were
not disposed lo comply. It seems like perjury
to file such an answer to the rule. Ilo asked lhat
the court mako the rule absolute and call the
coi-n-ils before it. Unless this was done, he
believed that the bondholders might whistle
for their money. And if he was not able to
purge himself he was willing to tako the con
sequences.
HIE C1TV TlillASlillEIt.
On the sic nd branch of the case, relating to
the po-ition of the city treasurer, Mr. Watson
called attention to the various appropriations
for limning the city government, and cited au
thorities lo show that executions did not have
priority. Tho present revenue is not more than
sufficient to carry on the various branches of
the cily government, and be therefore argued
that the money in tlio hands nf the treasurer
could not be attached to the detriment of the
corporation. Councils have no right to levy
more tax than is required. The debt mu-t be
paid out of unappropriated funds. The only
course to pursue, therefore, is to lay n social
tax, and creditors must wait until the money is
raised. Questions also arise as to how the mon
ey shall be paid out. Kit is Insisted that the
money in the hands of the treasurer shall be
attached tho city will be in irpetual darkness,
and at the mercy of all the tramps that infest
the country,
DOSS 1UM UETS ON EASY.
At this point Boss Ham and J. Wulker Hays,
who evidently wished to return home by the
train which would bo due in n few minutes
showed great uneasiness, and as they made a
motion to retire, the judge asked them to re
main a few minutes as be had a f.-w words to
say the president of common council and Mr.
Hays then settled down in their seats and the
court spoke as follows:
The decree ot the court must be enforced nnd
will be j and those who are eutru-ted with rais
ing the money will consult together as to the
best means of doing it. Itesistsnce baa been
made by councils, but the law is stronger than
llieir will. They have beeu dilatory and
thought they could batlle the decree. The de
gree if punishment will depend on thiir furth
er action on ibis decree. The rule will ho con
tinued till Friday, January, -4, 1S78, and It is
hoped at lhat lime thero will be no cuiso for
further procedure.
The countenance of tho Boss then Lightened
up, be heaved a sigh of relief, and, with Mr,
Hays, hurriedly left tho court room, dashed for
the tralir and rolled away In the direction of
Wllliaiusport as fast as steam could carry
them,
UKTimi luacusvTs.
The argument in rel ition to the money In
the hands of the treasurer was continued at
some lenglh by .lissrs. Bentley, Walson and
Packer. It was ol annul by the solicitor lhat
there must be sufficient funds reserved tu carry
on the cily government, Mr. Bentley argued
lhat as there was $15,000 In the treasury set
aald'e to meet the Interest it should be applied
at once,
At the conclusion of the argument Iho court
promised to gire a decision early In reference
to the money now held by the city treasurer,
which he had been peremptorily ordered lo re
tain for the purpose of applying lo the payment
of the overdue indebtedness.
Councils now breathe freer since Judge El,
well bu given them till the -lib nf January lo
.qlt-fiirlnrilv restwiml hi th i-iiIa rpro-ntlv t.uii,l
j to show cause why they should not be attached
for contempt. In granting this extension tin
court firmly reminded them lhat the decree
must he cnlorccd, and that the law was superior
lo their mere dictum. It was evident from
the remarks of tho' ecu it lhat our lo
cal lawmakers wero regarded as occupying a
contemptuous: position, and Ihcy were gently
reminded lhat such n course could not bi pur
sued much longer with Impunity. Since Iho
court has shown such leniency It Is hoped that
Iho cuunells will cease their bickerings and
proceed with all dllignco to satisfy iho decree.

Tho annual report nftbe Commissioners of
Agriculture, just issued and ready for distri
bution, contains many thlugs of Interest to
tlio general readers. Tho volume is unusu
ally compact nnd well arranged, nnd thero
aro several new subjects treated, In looking
through the book I notico an article con
rning "A Successful Insect Destroyer,"
accompanied with a drawing or cut of tlio
invention. It is a new thing, patented dur
ing tlio year,and promises to bo n great ben
efit to the farming nnd fruit growing com
munity. Tho annual destruction of crops of
fruit, cotton, corn, tobarco and vegetables
by the curcullo, cotton-ball, nrmy, cut and
tobacco worm amounts to millions of dollars.
Of all the numerous remedies tried, nono
have so far proved successful. Tho "Little
Turk" as tho curcullo is called, has almost
driven plum culture from tho country, whilo
the ravages nf the other species named are
immense. Tho worms aro all hatched from
eggs laid by miller nnd beetle Insects that
lly at night, and aro easily caught by
properly arranged light. It is estimated that
these Insects deposit from 10,000 to 1,000,000
eggs each, according to the species," in tho
seventeen days nf their averago life. If,
therefore, tho insects can bo destroyed before
appearing in the worm stago of existence,
tfiis will proyo tho most successful point of
attack. Tho device referred to by tho Com
missioner was patented by a firm in Kussell
villc, Arkansas, Pattern & Duke, I believe,
and consists of a peculiarly uonstructd lamp
which is to bo lighted and set on a pan filled
with water, tho bottom of which receives it
stick or other support,so as to raiso the light
to tho desired height for the crop or tree to
bo protected. Kveryhody knows the prone
ncss of insects to go for a light. It is one
of the curious facts connected with insect
life that their eggs nro always deposited at
night. The miller species never lly by day.
On'a warm dark night, when thero is no
rain or wind, they are, in season, almost
numberless and can readily bo destroyed by
this device. The Commissioner says : "The
moths being attracted by tho light, dart
against it and fall into tho pan, nnd are de
stroyed before depositing their eggs upon the
tender leaves of the growing plants." Tho
patentees, I learn, ou inquiring, havo jut
started a factory at llussellvillo and are man
ufacturing tho lamp &c., in great quantities,
and selling rights of territory.
There aro continual tumors of peace ne
gotiations between Mr. Hayes and Senator
Coukling, but so far nothing has been de
veloped that shows either f them willing to
compromise. On tho contrary, iho indica
tions aro that hostilities will become more
active.
Tho bill giving a sum of money to survi
vors of the Huron disaster, and a year's pay
to tho heirs of thoso lost, has passed both
Houses, and will at onco bo approved by Mr.
Hayes, The only precedent is in tho case of
the Oneida, lost some ten years ago. There
has been no opposition in cither House. Al
ready a proposition is on foot to erect at An
napolis by private subscription, a monument
in commemoration of tho lost. Tho investi
gation into tho causes of the disaster is still
in progress at tho Navy Department, and all
testimony to far elicited goes to confirm tho
now very general opinion that tho responsi
bility of tho loss and tho sacrifice of over a
hundred lives, mut rest upon tho officer or
officers charged witli navigating her away
from n stretch of coast previously beset with
bars, shoals, spits, currents, counter-currents
and miles upon miles of breakers, dangerous
even in tho mild weather of mid-summer.

A great many here and elsewhere who be
