A mnttec itiot Ims given great dlasatisfac
tion through the county Is the manner In
which the trlonnial neiments were made,
Tiie commUnioner started out by ordering
tlio aesws to value property at 40 per
cent of Its actual value, a direction which
was duly unauthorized by law, though it
had been the practice for some years. When
the returns were made they proceeded to go
through the boobs and to change the figures
as best suited their fancy. In Bloomsburg
fir instance, where they are unacquainted
with the location and value of many prop
erties, the wholo list was revised by the
commissioners alter having been carefully
made by competent assessors. In other
places the most unequal and unjust assess
ments were made, or changed by them, lots
lying contiguous and of equal value, being
put at very different figures, whether by mis
take or Intention and whether it was done
by the commissioners or assessors we aro un
able lo state, but we are informed that sucli
is the case by very good authority. The
power of the board to revise the assessments
and "if they believe any property or thing
made taxable has been assessed and valued
below its actual value, to raise tbo same to
the actual value thereof, or If the same ha
been assessed and valued above its actual
value to reduce the same thereto,'' is not
questioned; It is only, asserted that in the
exercise of this authority, unequal valuation
have In many cases betn made. Wo men
tion this matter now so that when another
assessment is made it will be done accord
ing to law.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington,. D. C. May. 25th ISSO.
Thero is rfo doubt about the duty ot Con
gress to adjourn on the 31st,but there is very
determined opposition to It, To remain in
session from Juno 2nd to June 22nd, would
be hko making a real estate trade inCen
tral America during an earthquake. The
laboring and producing and manufacturing
peoplo of the country will receive doubtful
benefit irom tariff legislation completed by
angry politicians who think it their first duty
to nominate or elect a President. So would
those patriotic people who seek new and extra
constitutional methods of counting the Elec'
toral vote. On this latter point Senator
Morgan's joint rule adopted by the Senate
yesterday Beetns to be all that is necessary
So in all cases. It is better for every inter
est to wait until the exciting Presidential
campaign is over than to push measures
through this summer. By all means, early
adjournment should be had.
Senator David Davis's letter to Hon. 0,
H. Browning, President Johnson's Secre
tary of the Interior, Is commented on
strangely enough, as a bid for tho Demo
cratlc nomination. I dont see that In tli
letter. The Senator wrote after Grant's
nomination was assured, and after he BUU'
posed a determined opposition inside the
Republican party would bo made to such a
nomination, and when, perhaps, ho thought
theie would be equal dissatisfaction at the
Democratic nomination. It is a "third party"
letter. It Is a re-statement of the sentiments
which led to the Philadelphia convention ol
187C, with additions to meet the changed
conditions of the times. The venerable Ben
atorwlll have no votes in tho Democratic
convention, and he don't expect any.
It will be safe to give slight credence to
regular telegraphic reports of the prcferen'
ces delegates to Cincinnati have. More con
tradlctions are received here by private tele'
grams than would be thought possible. The
false reports may be sent by conniyance of
the friends of candidates, or to influence the
Radical convention at Chicago, or for rea
sous unknown, but it is certain that in ev
ery convention, from Pennsylvania, two
months ago, to New Jersey, a week ago, the
most absurd reports bave been Bent in the
regular despatches. As a matterof fact, the
first vote ot the Fennsylvanians will proba
bly be for Hancock, and if ho has no appa
rent prospect, then the Bccond will show a
decided majority for Tildcn. On a second
ballot, also, no matter how the first
thrown, New Jersey will probably given
majority for Tilden. I speak of these States
as they are represented to me by people who
profess to know and whom I have always
found reliable.

KKAMXG'B BIO FAILURE.
The announcement of tho suspension of
tho Reading railroad company has canted a
profound sensation throughout the country,
artlculaily In business circles, and theio Is
a general desire to know the causes leading
to this tremendous result. Very few are
aware of the extent of the obligations of
the Company, and tho load It has had to
carry on account of the heavy lossos of tho
Coal and Iron company, which is part and
parcel of the railroad organization, officered
by the same men and conducted by tho samo
illrectlon. A brief condensation of its his
tory, capital Involved, lands owned, and
llabillll.il, cannot fail lo be of deep Interest
at this time, and it Is appended from the
most rellahln sou reel at command.
Tlio Reading coal and iron company is a
wheel within a wheel In tho Philadelphia
nud Reading railrrad company, and l1 rank'
lln B. Qowen is the president of both cor
porations, whllo tho directors who control
tho one have the same supervision over the
other. The coal and Iron company was or
canlied and chartored in 1871. Utfore that
time, Gowen as a trustee, had been buying
coal lands, and when he became president ot
the railroad company his mind at once
grasped the details of a stupendous enter
prise. This was nothing more nor less llian
to have the railroad company becomo the
owner of the entire authracite region of
Pennsylvania. The result was that money
by the millions was poured out from tho cof
fers of the railroad to buy the best coal land
in Mahanoy and Schuylkill basins, In the
Lehigh country adjoining the Leghlgh and
Sucquehanna railroads and Wyoming coal
basin. Mr. Gowen argued then that a com
papy which had built railroads to the ex'
tent of $30,000,000 and which was to de
rive Its principle revenue from carrying an
thracite coal and which, in addition to this
capital, had gurantced to leased lines rentals
representing a capital amounting to nearly
$15,000,000, depended for its futuro pros
perity on its ability to control the products
of the authracite coal regions of Fenn
svlvania.
To think with Franklin B. Gowen is to
act; to act is to direct every energy to the
accomplishment of the purpose in view.
This he did. There was no way of removing
the risk of having its coal traffic taken away
from It but for the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad to buy the coal lands. This was
done. The Pennsylvania railroad was buy
ing coal lands, the Lehigh road was buying
coal lands and the Philadelphia and Read
inc entered the market as a competitor. Not
only this, but it became necessary to gain
control of the sections where the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad and the
Central railroad of New Jersey were extend
ing their lines and connections so as to be'
come formidable competitors for1 th'e coal
carrying trade of the country. This buying
of lands resulted in an enormous expenditure
of money. It has taken bo far from the rail
road company the immense sum of nearly
fifty million of dollars. More than this, it
made the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
company the guarantor of an additional in
debtedness of from $1-1,000,000 to $15,000,000
due by the coal and iron company to some
of the people from whom lands where pur
chased. This expenditure represents an
annual interest charge of over $3,000,000,
which In the recent depressed condition of
the coal and iron trade was a tremendous
load for the rail road to carry. To give
some idea of the enormous extent of the ter
ritory and the great ramifications of tho two
corporations it may be stated that the com
panleo control area of nearly one third of
the 450 square miles ot the anthracite coal
lands of Pennsylvania. Few people havo
any idea of the extent of the country con
trolled by the Philadelphia and Reading
road. They have a railway of 800 miles in
length, or 1.551 miles of a single track. The
anthracite coal land owned, is 95,000 acres,
and on tbo direct line of traffic of the road
there are ninety-seven blast furnaces. Only
half of this number, however, were until
recently run, but numbers were being put in
blast monthly.
During the year 1872, in which the coal
and iron company was organized, it expend
ed the sum of $00,000,000 under the charter
in the Schuylkill region.and had a dominan1
interest over collieries producing 2,700,000
tons yearly. The company soon after pro
posed to the proprietors of the remaining
collieries, which were then producing in the
aggregate 3,242,000 tons, that they should
combine with them and receive a certain sum
per ton for their coal, the proposition was at
first resisted, but was ultimitely acquiesced
In before the end of the year, and it was
authoritively announced that hereafter there
would be monthly meetings of all the coal
producers of Pennsylvania, both corporate
and private, at which the price of coal was
to be fixed to salt their interests. In Jan
uary,1873, the first offical circular fixing the
price of coal for the month was issued by the
companies in the syndicate, and there was
an average Increase in the prices, over those
of the previous month, of about 32 cents a
ton, and the effect of the lato movement to
consolidate the interests of the large com
panies was becoming apparent in the in
creased rates obtained. The increase in the
price of coal under the combination during
the year 1873, was about 10 cents a ton,
The combination was continued with va
rying success from year to year. Early in
the present year the leading interests in the
anth racite trade apparently came to an un
derstanding in regard to the operations for
the season. The Reading company took tbe
initiative in a movement to restrict produc
tion in order to maintain prices. The pri
mary object was to get back some of tbe
money lost in the fierce fight last ycar,when
it is stated, the aggregato loss to the trade
approximated $30,000,000 and the next con
sideration was to get the trade again upon a
paying basis. In accordance with this agree
ment, a general suspension of mining was
ordered for three days in each week in
March. On tbe first of April operations
were resumed in full, but at the expiration
of a fortnight a return was ordered to the
half time policy, and this has been contin
ued ever since.
Tbo general balance sheet, as given in tho
last annual report fixes tbe value of tbe coal
lands at $40,941,579; timber lands, $540307
together with a variety of other items which
briogs tho total up to $59,099,799. Tho assets
aro stated at $3, 693,17, which together with
inctluo accounts, and profit and loss, brings
the total up to. $70,719,934. In the capital
account the purchase money mortgag
bonds amount to $12,095 ; bonds and mort
gage on real state, $898,898; bonds and
mortgages Ik Id by Reading railroad com
pany dated July 1, 1874, $29,737,905
bond and mortgage of December 28, 1870,
$10,000,000, all of which foots up a total of
$03,062,801.
In the great struggle of 1679 which it was
so often predicted, in the language of one of
the New jork presidents, must result In
"the survival of llio fittest," the losses as
elsewhere stated, have been estimated at
$30,000,000. Of course it cannot bedefi
nately learned just what was tho Reading's
share in this enormous inkago of profits,
but the btmo may, 'Jo & tneuure, bo in
timated.
President Gowen,in his report to the Block
older of the railroad company at thoir
nic-ling In January last, made tho follow

companies fall short from paying.

One of the directors says that the wholo
troublo grew out of tho floating indebted
ness ! that obligations came in too fast to bo
met. This debt lsbotween five and six mil

A Free anil Fair Election Not Wanted
The Republican leaders In congress con'
tlnue their opposition to the measures Intro
doced by Senator Bayard and other Demo
crats to aecifre a just and impartial adminls'
tration of the Federal election laws. They
have resisted at every Btep the passage of the
bill requiring election marshals to be ap
pointed by tho United States district courts
In equal numbers from the two principal
political parties, and on Monday the Rcpuh
lican senators resorted o dilatory motions
for tho purpose of preventing progress on
the bill which provides that federal supervi
sors of election shall be appointed by the
President by and with the advice nud con.
sent of the senate, What further proof is
needed that the Republican managers do not
desire n fair and honest administration of
the federal election laws?
Nor are these peculiar champions of free
and fair elections willing that congress snail
adopt a plan for the counting of the electo
ral vote. Senator Morgan's joint resolution
on that subject encountered the solid oppo
sition of the republican side of tbe senate
when put upon its passage on Monday. This
resolution provides that tbe electoral vote of
a state shall not be rejected unless both
bouses of congress shall concur in tbo rejeC'
tion. Senator Edmunds of Vermont argued
against the adoption of the joint resolution
on the ground that it would contravene the
reserved rights of the states. It is amazing
how ready these Republican politicians are
to invoke tho "heresy of states rights" when
they contemplate the theft of the presidency
through the operation of state returning
boards. Three hundred and sixty-four days
in the year they denounce the Democratic
party for its consistent adherence to tbe
stale rights doctrine and on tbe three hun
dred aud sixty-fifth day, preatol change,
they become the most pronounced advocates
of the dogma they affected to despise and
execrate.
It is plain enough that the best as well
as tho worst men in the republican party are
willing to sacrifice every principle they have
profess in order to secure the success'of
their party. The precept of Thaddeus Ste
vens, "Throw principle to the dogs," seems
to have rooted itself in the nature of tho Re
publican politician. When so reputable a
man as George F. Edmunds is capablo of
making so insincere a plea for party ad van
tage as that which fell from his lips in tbe
Senate on Monday, very little can be ex
pected from tbo Conklings.the Blaincs and
the Logans in any matter which involves
an issue between tbo interests of their party
on the one hand and decency, right and jus
tice on the other. When tbe whole body of
the republican membership of the senate ar
rays itself against a modification of tbe fed
eral election laws admitted by all fair
minded people to be just and necessary, and
against tbe adoption of a definite aud equit
able plan for the counting of the electoral
votc.lt may as well be accepted as a foregone
conclusion that the Republican leaders do
not want a fair election for President or an
honest count of tho electoral vote and do
not intend that either shall take place if
they can find means to prevent it. Pa
triot, Another Town Destroyed.
Coudersport, tbo CountyljBeat of Potter
county was visited by a disastrous conflagra
tion last week,Tuesday, The firo broke out
In Stebbins Bros.' storeroom at the corner of
Second and Main streets. The fire extended
from those two streets to East, West and
Third Btreets, destroying every business
place with the exception of tbe Baker
House, A. B. Mann's Insurance building and
the Journal printing building. Nothing is
left on tho north side. From First to the
south Bide of Third street and from tbe east
side of West street to the west side of East
street, except tbe Court House and one
dwelling, everything was swept away. The
loss is estimated at $200,000 and tbe insur
ance at $75,000. The fire continued one
and a half hours. Ail the wooden build
logs with tbe exception of W. B. Godlner's
block, on Second street, were burned, The
town has no water supply, no fire apparatus,
and no effort could be made to resist the
flames until everything in Its way was con
sumed. Coudersport Is a beautiful town
of fourteen hundred inhabitants, on tbe
west bank of the Allegheny river, near its
headquarters, It contained a large portion
of the wealth arfd Intelligence of Potter
county. Shaded streets extend from the riv
er westward to the hill, skirting tbe western
boundary of the town, and on the north and
south are long fertileyalleys. The Court
Houso Is located on tbe publicsquare, be
tween East and Main streets, in the mid
dle of the burnt district, but being so iso
lated was not destroyed with surrounding
buildings. Tbe grounds and the handsome
residence of tbe Hon, A. G, Olmstead, chair?
man of one of tbe recent State conventions
of the Republicans, stands just beyond the
wctern termination ot tbe fire, on Main
street. The academy buildings on the hill
side were not destroyed. Only two dwell
ings were burned. Most of the residences
cluster about tbe town and are separated by
shady plots of ground, which prevented the
flamti from cxttBdisg.
DUTIES 01' CENSUS ENUMERATORS.
The pamphlet of Instructions to enumera
tors has Just been Issued. By accepting their
commissions enumerators bind themselves
to carry their work on to completion unless
prevented by reasonable causes from doing
so. They cannot throw up tho wort from
dlwatWactlon or indolence. Upon taking
the oath of office the enumerators aro fur
nished with an eighteen page pamphlet of
instructions and the printed forms and sched
ules necessary to carry on the work. It Is
the duly of the enumerators in tho excerclso
of their authority to use groat courtesy aud
consideration. On tho other hand It Is not
wllhin thccholco of any Inhabitant whether
he shall or shall not communicate tho infor
mation required by tho census law. Any
permit more than twenty years or age who
shall willfully fall or refuse tit glvo the Infor
mation required of them by any enumerator
renders himself liable to a fine not less than
S100
Five regular schedules aro created by law
for the enumeration of the several' subjects
of Inquiry, as follows s Population, agricul
ture, manufactures.soclat statlstlcs.mortnllly
Regarding the schedulo for social statiticsl
General Walker has withdrawn it from tho
enumerators and placed it in the hands of
special agents.
Under the h ead of population no child
born between the first day of June and tho
day of the enumerator's visit, be it the 5th
15th or 25tb,is to be entered upon the sched
ule. On the other hand every person who
was a resident of tbe district upon June 1,
but between that day and tho day of the
enumerator's viit shall have died, should be
entered on the tch edul? precisely ns if still
living. The object of the schedule la to ob
tain a list of the inhabitants on tho 1st of
June, 18S0, and all changes after that date,
whether in the nature of gain or loss, are to
be disregarded in the enumeration. Tho
word 'famlly,'for tho purposes of the census,
includes persons living alone equally with
families In the ordinary sensoof that term.and
alio all larger aggregations of people only
having the tie of a common roof and table,
A hotel, with all Us inmates, constitutes but
one fimlly wlthlu the meaning of this term
A hospital, a prison, an asylum, the solitary
ininato of a cabin is equally a family for the
purposes of the census.
Tbe inquiry "profession," "occupation,"
or "trade" is one oftlie most Important
questions in the schedule. The occupation
of every man is to be given definitely, no
general terms being allowed. For instanco
no man Is to be classed as a "factory hand
or a "mill operative." Tho better form of
expression suggested is "works in a cotton
mill," "works in a paper mill," etc. When
clerks aro returned they are to be described
as a "clerk in a store," "railroad clerk,"
"bank clerk," etc, Firenndllfe insurance
agents will be specified. The use of tbe word
"glover," "hatter," and furrier," will bo
confined to those who actually mauu
facture or make up in their own estab-
incuts all or a part of the gloves and hats
or furs which they Bell. Those who only
sell these articles will be characterized as
'Jglove dealer," "hat and cap dealer," "fur
d ealer.".
"Judges" whether State or Federal,
whether probate, police or otherwise, may bo
assumed to be lawyers and that lulilitlon.there
forc,will not bo given; but all other officials
will have their profession designated, if they
have any,as "Paper manufacturer," "Retired
merchant," "Governor of Pennsylvania,"
Representative in Legislature,"ctc. A man
Ms not to be called "shoemaker" or a "boot
maker" unless he makes the entire boot or
shoo in a small shop, If ho works in a boot
and shoe factory ho i to be designated ac
cordingly. The word "jeweler," will not
designate tboso who make watches, watch
chains or jewelry in large manufacturing
establishments, but those who are jewelers
to the ordinary understanding of the term,
No man is to be called a contractor, a pro
fessor, an overseer, an agent, a collector, a
treasurer, an artist, a speculator or a com
missioner without more definite explana
tion. When a man has retired from busi
ness the fact will be entered thus: "Retired
lawyer," "retired merchant," etc. Stoue ma
sons are to be distinguished from biick ma
sons. No man is to be described as a me
chanic if it is possible to describe him more
accurately. Apprentices are to be enumerat
ed thus: "Apprenticed to carpenter," "ap
prenticed to painter,""apprenticed to apoth
ecary." The distinguishing lino will be
drawn between farmers and farm laborers.
The term manufacturer will be reserved for
proprietors of establishments, thus: "(Jot
ton manufacturer," "woolen manufacturer."
Persons who make lace, bonnets, chocolate,
etc., are not to bo designated as manufactu
rers, but entered as lace makers, bonnet
makers, etc
Under tbo bead of "agriculture" no farm
will be reported of less than three acres un
less $500 worth of produce has actually been
sold offit during the year. A farmin'the
meaning of the census instructions, is what
is owned or leased by one man, cultivated
under his care. The amounts of the various
crops will be estimated according to the best
judgment of the proprietor where no exact
amount is kept. For the collection of statis
tics regarding manufactures, General Walk
er has appointed special agents. Upon the
subject of Iron and Eteel James M. Swank,
of Philadelphia has been appointed.
Each enumerator will be required to make
a daily report to the supervisor of his dis
trict, and to the Superintendent of Census
at Washington. For this purpose
postal cards, with a printed form on tbe
back will bo furnished each enumerator,and
it will be his duty to fill up the blank space
thereon with a statement of his work for
each day.
It U Well
It Is well that Urantshonld be nominated,
That great journal, the New York Timet,
for once In the lamentable condition of ad
vocating the wrong side, deems his.nomlna
tion a moral certainty. And for our own
part we 4tavo been very much Inclined to
think that in spite of all tho ciphering which
figured him out of tho race, the immense
amount of money put up in his behalf would
make him the Republican candidate.
There aro many reasons why he should be
nominated, It will put the tbjrd term and
imperialism thoroughly to a test. The de
feat ol Urant which, wo regard as morally
certain will put "n end to thlrd-lermism
for n century to come.
Then nomlnato Grant!
Let him bo put up and knocked downl
Tho country will breatho more freely nf-
