The JErmnferr nsks tlie Benlor tditer Of tllfl ISTBLtlOKNCEIl tO till It BOtllO- tliinR nbeut tlie assessment nt SSOO per aero of land en sewn vucen uirem, Joining tlie Woodward Hill cemetery, of wliteh it Bays he lias sold a part at S2.000 per ncre and values tlie remainder at $1,000 per ncre. As tlie Examiner la evidently sadly Ignorant upon the mat. ters relating te city assessments, which It has lately undertaken te discuss, it Rlvca us pleasure te Instruct It. It is In error, In the first Place, In Its statement as te the sale nt $2,000, and valuation at $1,000 of tlie land assessed at $800 per aero, te which It refers. Hut that Is an error net of any conse cense conse quence te the point It seeks te make that the Benlor editor of the IXTraueuN'. CEnewns land which Is worth consider ably mero than Its assessment. That Is a fact. It consists of several acres of unimproved land within the city limits, used for fanning purposes for the hun dred years it has been In the owner's fam ily, and yielding light revenue. Yet Bheuld It be cut up in city lets It ceu'.J probably be sold at several thousand dollars per acre. The question as te the proper rate of assessment for this land is as te whether it should be valued us though it was Improved, which it is net ; or as though it was divided Inte city lets, which it is net ; or as farm land, which It is. The assessor seems te have com premised the matter by assessing it at the value of cheap city lets for certain ly it is net worth SSOO per aero as farm land. His assessment has been made upon his own Judgment, uninfluenced by any request or solicitation of the owner, in whose employ he is as pressman of the Intellieekccu ; and the assessment is the same new that It has been for many years and is the sauie for city as for county purposes. And new let us eive the Examiner some Information as te Mr. Evans' farm land In the outskirts of the city, which is assessed at $104 per aero for county purposes and at one-half et that sum for city purposes. The same rule of taxa tien governs it that governs Mr. Stein man's land, and yet it is assessed at les3 than one fourth the sum by the county and nt less than one eighth by the city Population Is advancing towards it and has spread beyond It and no cemetery lies adjacent te it te bar the opening through it of city streets. It is net worth as much for farming land per acre as Mr. Stelnman's, because it does net lie se nicely and part of it along the creek is rough. Xer is it wertii as much per acre for city lets for a like reason, and because a greater percentage of Mr. Stcluman's laud lies along a main avenue. The city lights, however, illu minate Mr. Evans' approach te his farm house, and tlie rity water is ready for him whenever he wants it. Tlie flee de partmeut is at his service, and has already been called out en it ; and Mr. Evans' land is valued even for county purposes at less than its value as farm land. But its assessment, at whatever rale, would net be a fair matter of criticism against him, If It bad been made with out his procurement. Ne citizeti is bound te correct an assessor's judgment when he valuta his property tee low. Such excessive degree of virtue is net ex pected of him ; aud should he be runnin? for councilman would net be a just reason for defeating his uspiratiets. But Mr. Evans net only secured the low city valuation of his property by his en n solicitation, but he did it by his own vote and Influence as chairman of the finance committee, of councils. The .Examiner hrs net stated the truth when it declared that the reduction from the county valuation was made by the fluance committee in 18S1 and 1SS2, when thocemmltteo was Democratic and Mr Zecher was chairman. The reduction of the city below the county assessment en Mr. Evans' land was mnde long be tore iawj, ami wnen Mr. J. vans was chairman of the finance committee and it was done at Ids request. The matter started by the assessor asking an exoneration of a part of the city lux upon the farm opposite Woodward cemetery, across tlie creek, tlie bridge ever which had just been damaged. That was a just abatement, us the farm, being cut off by the creek from the city, had no advantage whatever from it, either of light, water, fire apparatus, police, or possibility of building lets. Mr. Evans took occasion te maintain that his pieperty was en llke footing ; and in tlie scramble for abatement of assessment almlt dozen property holders, with friends at hand, Becured an abate mentet one thiulet the city tax, which was afterwards Increased te one-half ; but none of them save Mr. Evans was en the finance committee which made the abatement. He was the only man who wa3juclgennd Jurer in this case against the city, which was his client. That Is what we object te. That is the reason why we say Mr. Evans should net be returned te the select council. We want men theru who, when tliey are personally Interested in any matter, will abstain from voting en It. That is the legislative rule and these who de net obey It are net fit te ha loslalatera. Mr. Evans is a very respectable, intelligent and gODd citizen, for whom we have a hltrh esteem, and whose uervlces te the city have been vnhmble bocause of the zeal, energy nnd sagacity which he has brought te thelr dlsclmrge. We have no fault te find with him bave thnt he is net te be trusted In any Issue of the city vb. Evans. We trust the Examiner is prop erly delighted with the cxplicituess of the information we have given it. It is quite welcome te it. The Vhlladelphia rrm has been on en gaged for several weeks in the attempt te demonstrate that Mayer King has given that city a partlsau police force. After the most elaborate efforts its statistics are punctured and its exhibits knocked entirely endwise by the presen tation of Mr. l'hlllp (J. Garrett that when Mayer King took his seat he reappointed Stekely'a entlre police force, about 1,200, Republicans almost te a I .... . II.... !.. .,.....-.1... ii.l I1Q (if Vf.-itrn1l?4 T "nubs," nearly all Republicans, tee, ns regular elllcers -, that he has retained all et them, excepting 175 romevivl for geed cause, (net for political re isens), 10 who have died and 130 who have re signed voluntarily; that the present force is mere than three fourths Repiin llc.iu, the chief Is a Republican, of the four captains two are Republicans and two Democrats, twenty lieutenants are Republicans nnd and seven Democrats, forty flve sergeants are Republicans and ten Democrats, firty-cne house sergeants are Republicans and eight Democrats, e'ght detectives, all, are Republicans. Till simple statement of facts utterly refutes nil the eflerts of the JVm te preve the contrary. It is tcldem that even a wind big is se easily exploded. The;7V4 has simply covered Itself with ditch water, and has done discredit te decent journalism by its vain efforts te establish a lie. Copper llottemcd, Steel dart Partisan ship. The Xein Era Is giving te Rosenmil Resenmil ler the same kind of a support which it gave te Bering ; and after his defeat it will be just as ready as It was in the ether case te disclaim ever having fa. vered him and te express its disgust at its party for having nominated an un worthy candidate. Professing te rite above partisan considerations in muni cipal matters, and pretending te believe that " copper bottomed, steel clad par tisansliip is repulsive te thoughtful men when inter jected into a municipal election which is simply a business transaction, that should be conducted en business principles," it can make no argument whatever for Reseumiller's election, as it could make none for Bering's, except that he is a Republican aud Mr. Me- Mullen a Democrat. When it sup ported McMullen for district attorney agaaist the Repablican nemiuee it bit terly resented the Examiner's raillery against McMullen's " copper bottomed partisanship," and declared that his De mecracy was no disqualific.it ion for the eillce of district attorney. either is it new for the mayoralty. As long as Mr. MacGenigle w.is a can did.ite r mayor the Xea Era assailed him en partisan grounds, and only new renders him just praise for his methods of administration. It professes te be lieve that McMullen aud Resenmilier.ire both untried iu public office. It knows the reverse te be true. It knows that Mr. McMullen has served in councils and w.i3 tried just as Mr. MacGenigle, befere his election te the mayoralty ; it knows, tee, that Mr. Resen miller was tried in the oilL-e of district attorney, which was well adapted te test his qualifications for tin mayoralty. It knew?, tee, that Mr. Reseumiller's behavior iu that eillce was a shame te himself, a dishonor te his profession, a discredit te iiis party and a scandal te the administration of the law. It is a painful subject te refer te and it is unnecessary te go iiite details, but it is a pirt of the familiar history of this community that never befere nor since has the exercise of the olllceef dis trict attorney in this county b-eu se pre fligate and shameless. The idea of en trusting the headship of the police du pirtment, the management of the finances and the dignity and duties of tlie chief magistracy of this city of 30. 000 souls te a man who made sucli a record as District Attor ney Reseiimilier only ten years age, is one that only the most degraded and reckless pirtlsanship could entertain. In unmistakable terms bjth the Yu- Era and Examiner warned their party against the felly of such a preposition when it was first breached ; trey b ah knew that the nomination was only reluctantly conceded te him after a dez-n fitter men had refused te take it. That the Examiner should nevertheless affect te support him is net te be won dered nt, but the Xew Era's recommen dation of him is convincing proof that it is only when selfish motives control the policy of th.it I apr that it can rise above " copper bottomed, steel Had partisan hhip." Au Unteuiidcd Complaint. Xetliinij could be mero unreasonable than the complaints of aoine of the Re publican newspapers of Gov. I'.ittison'e partisanship because he lecently appoint ed four Democrats te succeed four Republicans whose tetras liad expired, as trustees of the state lunatic hospital at llarnsburu;. It was, te say the least of It, no mere of partisanship than must have been the original appointment of tlie four Republicans by a Republican Roverner. If, as is stated, the beard will hereafter stand five Democrats te four Republicans, It must have heretofore Btoed eight Republicans te one Demo Deme crat, a grossly partisan comphxieu that needed radical modification. The expe rience of the trustees whose terms had expired was net, as tue acic Em sug gests, uny special recommendation for their retention, Inasmuch as the gov ernor recently discovered by a personal visit te and inspection of the state lunatic hospital, many defects in its manage ment which a mero efficient beard of trustees should have remedied. In tlie personnel of the new trustees we recog nize equal, It net mipsrler, merit te theso whom they have succeeded net "dls placed." Theso who knew the men will , concede that . Penn husk, of Harris- burg, is quite as fit for the place as Cel. W. W. Jennings was ; Mr. D. A. Orr, of Cliambersburg, is better qualified thun Jehn M. l'omerey, Dr. A. II. Light, of Lebanon, Is altogether the peer of Hiram Corsen, and F. Asbury Awl is as geed a man as D itilel II. Eppluy. Govorner Pattlsen cannot be accused of partisanship In his appointments te the trusts that bave relation te the elee mosynary institutions of the slate. His recognition of such distinguished Reptib. Henna as Gov. Heyt, 1'hllip C. Garret, Geerge L. Harrison and ethors, effectu ally disproves any such idle chnrge. Tlie state lunatic hospital is very largely controlled by Republicans -, the miners' hospital at Ashland, which draws patients almost entirely from Democratic counties of the state, ha?, we helleve, net a single Democrat in its 7X- beard of management, the only ene of that, faith formerly among the number, having recently been displaced by (Je?. Pattlsen and a Republican appointed in his place. We doubt if the Democrat have utt) ttiing llke a majority in the management of the ether state avium and of the penitentiaries. The fact that by accident one cleoiuos cleeiuos cleoiues yimry Institution has finally coiue te have a slender majority of Democrats Hi its beard Is no proof whatever of the governor's partisanship ; but tlie excite ment and comment it has caused en ttie pait of the Republicans preve that that patty wants te keep partisan control of every public Interest In tlie common wealth. B.ur nil en hi be bounced. Tun old lllnt mill can never grind again with the water that i p.wsed. Attkmi the grand dual eltizen-i' rally nt .Mronnereher hall te-night iu favor of honest, effijieut and oeeuomioil city government.

Such vast pewer placed in the bauds of oue niau in a menacs t-j a republican fenn of govern govern meet. Tr.xyeirs age the editor of the Exam iner was the Democratic candidate- for district attorney te succeed Reseumiller, aud the best argumeut for bis election was the shameful abuse or the otlice by the present Republic id candidate for nnyer. If, as the Ex vainer says, the fi.vne committee his the otitrel of the c .king fnud, hew does it explaiu that m two years of Couneilmiu Evans' ehairmmship of the finance committee the fund wis net even increased by the amount of the inter est ou the bjndi alreidy in it. Demeckatic a 'ministration of the mayor's etflje irisix years and a half re duced the city debt $90,000 ; a Repubii can administratieu iu four years had increased the city debt $200,000. A vo'e for MeMullen is a vote te keep en in the geed way ; :i vo'e for Rjseumillcr is a vote te return te the old ami cv.l wa s.

Hi.NcnAMTON, N.

Six years and a half of Democratic adminn tratien in this city has reduced the eity debt 3110,000 aud added ell8,-100 te the sinking fund. Keep up the geed work. Vote for McMullen. Tin- AVi Era, in an cditeral, Feb. 19, 1833,saul : "Experienca has shown that the host care is exercised in tlie administration of municipal affairs when the executive nnd legislative departments aru iu the bauds of opposing parties, ai at present.
