ASSESSMENT OF TAXES.
We are glad to notice that our
County Commissioners are taking a
step in the right dircction,;by giving
assessors peremptory' orders to assess
money. It was undoubtedly the design
of the law
. regulating taxation that
:money should bear its just propor:
tions of the burthen of supporting
the government, but practice has.not
fulfilled the design of the law. Here
tofore in this county but a very small
portion of the money at interest has
been returned by the assessor. The
injustice and inequality of such a
course will readily be admitted. Mr.
A purchases a farm, • and borrows
$5,000 from B to:pay for it; :;the as
sessor returns the farm as the prop• 7
erty Of 11,. and Mr. A, who .actually .
owns it, not only' evades paying any
,tax, but gets interest on his money,
whereas A is made to pay both inter
est and taxp4. No candid man will
for a moment claim that such a sys
tem is just. There is undoubtedly
over $300,000 at interest in this
county untaxed. Should this be so ?
We answer, emphatically, No! The
Commissioners should be. commended
for their efforts to relieve real estate
of the taXes which should rightfully
be paid by those who enjoy the ben
efits afforded by the laws of the COM
monwealth and whose property con
sists in money,—too often employed
to oppress those who pay the taxes.
TUE LATE MPEAKEE 'JEWEL
• The. House on Saturday last spent
most of the day in the delivery of
eulogies on the late Speaker KERR.
Appropriate speeches were made- by
Messrs. hAMILTON, lIAY3IOND, Cats.,

Mr. KERR as a whole-heaWd and
courageous man, who never practiced
but loathed the arts of the deuia-
COx stated that, when
( 7 0crUe
by Mr. KERICS• death-bed, he- asked
whether he was ready to meet the
terrors of death, the answer was that
death had . no terrors for him. lie
believed (Mr. Cox said] that a just
`life on earth would give him his re,
ward. What, he asked, did Mr. Kim:
believe, irliregard to the great future?
Ms faith was in his works; his re
ligion was to be lionest ;
.he believed
that his integrity and conscience
were the sum of pure, undefiled re
ligion..jle did not-accept the dogmas
of the Church, or any Chuich ; he
did not accept all that was written
or' said about tile Saviour ; but he
did make the teachings of Christ a
model for his own life. lie believed in
"ThAt•t;hl crecd of creeds,
, The loveliness of I,n - rect deeds.'
With him laborare was orare : Work
was his orison. And when he left to
pass gently through the portals to
the other seethed as if noth

was a devotee of the peculiar class of
'philosophers known as' Positivists.

A FAITHFUL OFFICER ENDWISE%
_ ,
Hon. JOHN At.,' U. S., Marshall
for the Western District of this State,
has just been reappointed for another
term. Col. HALLI richly, merits the
confidence reposel in himfby the Ad

integrity.withNi•hieh he has discharg
ed the responsible and intricate du
ties of his office, has won for him the
admiratidn of alllparties, and at the
same time merited the approbation
Gen. Ga.tsr. We extend our
hearty . congratulations. A Pitts
burgh daily thus refers to the matter:
"We are pleasl to notice ' , the re
appointment of ohn Hall, Esq., as
United States 314rshal for the West
ern District of l'ennsylvania. Mr.
Hall has • occupied this position for
several years al has so discharged
the duties pertah ing to it ag.to give
completd satisfaction. AmOng the
many of our public officers who of
late years has given proof top 'Flips
ble.of their unworthiness, Mr. Hall.
stands prominently up as 'a, most
honorable exception. He has proved
himself to be lionest i attentiva - , ca
pable, and besides—which implies a
virtue still rarer among our public
servants—has always shown himself,
in his deportmeat toward those he
had to deal with, a gentleman. To
keep men of Mr. Hall's stamp in
place, is just Where the civil-service
reform,idea wou . d come in with such
excellent effect."
SPEAKER HA4DALL is Oh record
against the doc9rine i urged in MIL
TILDEN'S interest—that votes cast
for an : ineligible' candid4tei - are null,
and void, and that his opponent is
elected. In the I 4 ort3 - -first Congress,
the case of W.ku.AcE Spii , soN
.came up from tic Eight South Caro
lina district. :Spirsox, a Democrat,
received a majority of the votes
polled, but coubl not take his seat
because his pollical disabilities had
not been removdd. WALLACE claim

grounds to those•urged by CRONIN
of Oregon. Tl 4 case went to a sq
' committee of the House Committee
on .Elections, consisting of Messrs.
CESSNA and itikND'ALI. of Pennsyl

HALE and HIANDALL dissented.
When the matter came before the,
House. May, 20j IS7O,'Mr. ItANTALT.
said:— i•
‘ As has beef truthfully said : by
my associate one the committee, Mr.

of the Confederate friends of TrLDEN
seem to go upon the principle 'that a

A PATRIOTIC ADDRESS.
Our • Democratic friends who are
just now attempting to ferment civil
war because they have been defeated

SOLDIERS OF THE ARMIES OF

:votion to your country in the hour of
danger and alarm, Your magnificent fight

maintained the supremacy of the Union
and the Constitution, overthrown.all arm

laws and of the proclamation forever
abolishing slavery, the cause and pretext
of the rebellion,and opened the way to the
rightful authorities to restore order and
inaugurate peace on a permanent and en
during basis on every foot Of American
soil. Your marches, and sieges, and bat
tles, in distance, duration, and resolution,
and brilliancy of result, dim the lustre of
the world's past military, achievements,
and will he the patriot's precedent in de
fence of Liberty and Right in all time
eqine. In obedience to your country's
call, you left your homes and families,
and volunteered in its defence. Victory
has crowned your valor and secured the
purpose of your patriot hearts ; and ith
the gratitude of ybur countrymen and the
highest honors a greai'and free nation
can accord you will soon 'be permitted' to
return to your homes and familieS, con
scious of having discharged the highest
duty of American citizens. To achieve
these glorious triumphs, and to secure to
yourselves, your fellow-countrymen, and
posterity the bleskingsof free institutions,
tens of tht:usaud of your gallant comrades

with their lives.. The graves of these a
gratefUl nation bedows with tears, honors
their memories, and will ever, cherish and
support their stricken families.
L. S. GnANT,
Lieutenant General.
Gen. GRANT is as true to his obli
gations as Executive of the nation
as he was in his allegiance as a sol
dier, and it Pi the very height of im
pudence for those who aided treason
and rebellion to.aecuse the President
of 'wanting patriotism. The country
has the same eause .forthankfulness
now. in the fact . ' that Gen. GRANT is
President, that had in the darkest
period of the rebellion that he was
at the head of the army. Their,faitb
and confidence in him are unshaken,
and will never be disappointed. •
A NEW STATE.i
The Elmira Advertiser proposes a
new State, to be organized out of the
Southern'tier of New York and the
northern tier of this State. Here is
the way it talks about the matter :
" Talk about new States, how'4.
this? Take the counties of Chau - tan-.
qua, Cattaraugua. Alregany, Steuben,
Schuyler, Cheuning,, Tompkins, Tioga
and Broome, in this State ; and the
counties of Wayne, .Wyoming,Sus
quehanna, portions . of Columbia,
Montour and Northumberland,Union,
Lycoming,Sullivan,d3radford, Tioga,
Clinton, Cameron, ,Potter; Elk, Mc-
Kean, Forest, Warren,. Venango,
Crawford and Erie, , and , see what a
stin ,, State that would be, with El-.
mira for its Capital ! U; would be
much more- naturally divided from
both Pennsylvania and New York,
than those two States are now divid
ed from each other, and then those
now living in Pennsylvania wouldn't
have to go out of their own State to
get to their capital. This is some
thing worth thinking,about, 'and our
neighbors over the border would be
the ,tast to object to th'e prOposition."

The Philailelphia Press attaches
great importance to the commercial
relations, between - this country and
Mexico. The Press sass i
Theiuture of what may be the mag
nitude of the commerce between Mex
ico and Uniqd States seems almOst
to defy sober calculation. Take but; a
few articles Of tropical prodnetion
coffee, sugar, molasses. ' Now they
are the prOduct almost exclusively Of
the ' labor o' slaves in Cuba and
Brazil, and imported, thence to the
United States, and in 18:4 amount-
ed to nearlf $143,000,000. These
two first - nag ed articles of daily and
necessary ednsumption, as well .as
the third, pay be furnished to the
United- States from:: Mexico. The
quality of Mexican coffee is unsur
passed by any oth4 in the world.
The coffee-growin!* regions can in
due time stqlply all required in lhe
United States, and, with railroads,
our geographical position would se
cure a mdnopoly of the Mcxicb
coffee, with >Jt.t additional advanta i gii
of avoiding he dteterioration =flied
by a long voyage by =sea. The ra
'pidly increasing importance of the
coffee trade Will be seen by reports
of the 13uniatt of 'St'atistics, which
show the vilue'of importations Hof
coffee into the United States in 181;3
to have beeti ten millions dollars, and.
in 1874 fifty / -five millions. In 1873
no less than $93,000,000 worth of
su7ar was bionght to our shores, pr
fully one-fifth of all importations, ex
cluding bullion. ,MC sugar prodae
tion of mex , ;eo may easily be made
sufficient to I supply all our demand,
and_ of that 'trade -.re should also
necessarily iliave a monopoly. So
the cotton, the hides, the products of
the magudi, and a thousand other
articles, will 'enter into the valuable
commerce f
rom Mexico. The tropi
cal . fruits a One, produced in such
marvetous xuberance, will require
special. trains daily. The total, value
of imports (from Cuba and d'orto
Rico in 187 were".sS9,ooo, while our
-c
exports to t t lose two island were only
$22,000,000. The, population ; of Cuba
is about one and a half million, and
Porta Rico about a half million while
'Mexico is oVer ten millions. Aver
age population of Mexico is twelve
to the square mile ; of the United
States eleve 1. to the square mile.
,In
many of the States of Mexico it is
seventy-nine to the
; square mile,.
.„_
while:in Olio it is oily sixty-six,
and in Pc rnsylvania seventy-six.
Many of het cities have a population
of 78,000 and 100,000 and upwards
The little State of Mexico, embrac
ing the city of Mexico, has a popula
tion of 700,',00. We will allude again
to the prodtiction of bullion. In re
turn for importations from Mexico
the product 4 and manufactures ot:the
United Sta es would , probably be
consumed in that country to an.l!x
-tent, quite equal to the amount'of the
inmorts froM that Republic to the
United Sta'es. With railroads be
tween the two countries it doe 4 not
seem an exaFgerationtO'hope for an

in a moderate period of time, of not
less than $100,000,000 or $100,000,-

MORTON'S TIASTV Tall' WEST.
Senator Morton's sudden departure for
Indiana last Thursday &ening caused no
little commotion anions;; Washington poll.
ticians. A dozen diflbrent theories of the
object of his visit have been advanced.
The public meeting which he was to ad
dress last evening was undoubtedly ar
ranged after his purpose to visit Indiana
polis became known, fur it is hardly pos
sible that he would have left his place in
the Senate at such a critical timF, simply
to fill an engagement of that kind: The
generally accepted theory of his visit has
been that the Administration believes it
important that he should personally as-.
certain the real object and extent of thcl,l
Democratic movement in his State, and
whether' its purpose is simply to arouse
public opinion in favor of the inaugura
tion of Gov. Tilden, or is in reality nub
tare in its character. If the latter should
be found tube the fact, it has been sup
.posed that the Administration wouldeen.
bider it desirable to provide for 3 count
er organization strong enough to meet it
on its own. ground.
Another theory has gained credence to
day, and seems to have originated in .high
Administration - circles. It is said that
the collection of munitious of war fourth
in size in the country is stored at Indiana
polis and in view of the mass meetings
Which the Democrats haVe called at that
time and other points in the State, and
the suspicion that they may not be en—
tirely peaceable id their purpose, it was
deemed by the President awl his Cabinet
highly important that measures should be'
taken to protect them iu case any emer
gency should arise. -
In this connection it may be said that
the Chairman of the National Democratic
Committee denies having any knowledge
of a military organization by the Demo
cratic party either in Indiana, Ohio, or
any of the Western States. The Mass
meetings which have been called are nut
to be held, so members of that commit
tee a: sett with its saection. / i The ques
tion Of issuing amaddress to! the people
asking them to assemble in mass meet
ings and give expression to their feelin
has been repeatedly raised in the meet
ings of the Democratic National rommit
tee, and on , every occasion it has been do
feated. At the last meeting of the com
mittee a resolution was submitted provi
ding for 'a call for mass meetings to be
held on the Sat of January,
,but it was
uut adopted.
A large number of nominations were
sent to the Senate to-day. many of them
being ye-appOintments of postmasters and
a number of promotions of naval officers;
among them those of Confinedores Don
aldson, Preble amid Middleton to be War
Admirals, and Captains • Shufcldt and
Mind to beyommodores.
The Senate sub-committee on Privileges
and Elections, acting under the Militia's
resolution, examined Benjamin William
son, the alleged ineligible Presidential
elector of New Jersey. Williamson tes
tilled that twenty-five years ago he was
appointed a United' States Commissioner.
lie had during that time made use.ef
right as a comi4ssioner but twice, aud
had never reccivtid any money 'through
tile office. lie had served seven yearS as
Chancellor of New Jersey. Since his ap
pointment as U. S. Commissioner be bad
no idea that he was until after
.he.hail been chosen an elector, and as
soon as he found the question of his eleg
ibility was raised, lie sent his resignation
to Gov. Belle. Geis. Beill i and Secre
tary of State . lielmiey of New Jersey are
yet to give testinpmy in this case This
-committee will to-morrow take the testi
mony of Charles Stifel, G. 11. Shields and
Thomas ' . fhoroughman, of Missouri, in
the ease of Gen. D. M. Frost, an alleged
ineligible elector of Missouri.
The-House Judiciary, Commit tee - held a
special meeting to-day to consider the
communication froM Chairman Morrison,
of the Leuisianaluvestigating Commit
tee, which was referred to them by the
Mouse last. Saturday with instruction to
repOrt what action the llouse should take
in the premises: to enforce its authority.
The committee, after sonic discussion,
agreed that their report should deal not
only with this special -case of the refusal
of the Western Union Company to pro
duce private telegrams called for by a
I louse investigating commit teti,lint should
also, if possible, recommend fir adoption
sonic general rule l appliesble to all such
cases, in order to determine xv:hat kind of
a showing is sufficient to justify such de
mands. Messrs. Herd, of, thlio, Lynde,
of 11',isconsin, and McCrary, of loiva,
were appointed a sub-coMmittee to re
port On the subject to the full committee
to-morrow. It is understood that in an
ticipation of calls of this kind all politictil
correspondence: has been compiled and
verified In the confidential ollica of the
Western Uuion. Telegraph. Company, and
is ready for pinduct ion should the demand
be pressed to compulsion.

SECRET ORGANIZATION.
The information received here by va
rions leading i llepublicans leaves no doubt
that the attempt has been made among
the DemocraCy in several localities to
form secret organization. It is not be
lieved, however, that any such stift:ess
had hem achieved as to make the attempt
a cause
i ts
f serious appreheusior. Some
Democr have undoubtedly tAideayored
quietly o extend the inr?ression that
large or anizations had b , !en. formed, on
the supposition tlmt i;,' would, create a
a panic among Repe,blicau !politicians.
So far as Indiana is concerned, a gentle
man from that State expresses , the confi
dent belief that the mganization will not
be more exten••;ive than that of the Sons
of Liberty during the war, and he also
makes l'oe prediction that when the truth
is di..:overed the pettonnel and character
V,' the tuembersnip will be about the .
'same. It seems to he certain that the ex
citement over the political thituati-Ju is
considerably ;treater in three or four of
the IVestern States than iu any part of
the !saast.' The sentiment of the Southern

Tho *nation in South Carolina, and

the questiorts of law that are raised will
come before the Senate when Mr. CrOnin
presents his eredent als at the beginning
of the next session, and there will bo.of
necessity a Senatorial investigation and a
decision in that body which will practi
cally determine the legality of the Chain,:
berlain Legislature. It is stated among
Republicans from South Carolina that
Senator Robertson's recent course was
dictated by a Ituowledge that he stood , no
chance of re-election 'by the Republicans
of the Legislature, and they think that he

Of this country is its dry and healthy cli.

it has the lengthened season of a southern,

this country offers unusual inducements.

En. IlePotatm. --Dear Sir: There being
no new developments in the political sit
uation,' and as one of the people, 'I regard
it a duty of good citizenship to give ex
pression to opinions formed upon the
crisis which has befallen the co.,ntry.
But as there is nothing of great moment
in the sophistry and technical quibbling
connected with the result of the Presiden
'tial contest to redeem the Democrntie
`twists in favorof that party of "Reform,"
there is but little satisfaction derived by
; Here, as elsewhere,Detweer ,ts
invent excuses f* "terrorism," and man
ufacture palliations ifor political abuses
I o f the ballot-box,—their potent agencies
and activities in trying to defeat the soy
' ereign of the i peciple. It is a great rnis
kortutie tb the country that the, Prenden
tiarelection snoniti hale been so chze,
and especially to have the result depend
upon a few of the Stat.lS south of Mason's
and Dixon's line, where it was possible
for disputes to arise such' as Las excited
the public mind since the 7th of Novem
ber. It is net a gaol thing for a people
to remain so long in doubt and suspense.
I with the result undetermined, The busi
ness of the whole land labors iindv.a de
pression, at a time when confidence is
most heeded to establish a revival of and
activity httratle. Southern Democrats in
Congressfare entitled to praise and adnii
ration for their behavior; the example set
by them Northern Democrats would do
well to follow, instead of returning to the
same argument:sand threats use .1 by them
I sixteen years ago. Democrats request to
be let alone ; ~.that past issues of their,
t party's history- should be by-genes, anti
therefore blotted out; yet felony'. murder,
mutilation, threats of war, and bull-dozing
(systematized under the 'elastic head of
intimidat bm) are tolerated Within their
patriotic organization, and by' these milans
they purpose to foist into the Executive
chair a President who as S-rarely ./-ustitied
3-reason. as did the arch-traitor Jeff Da
vis himself. The notoliety of Orep•on's
son Cronin, in the Electoral College of
that State, shows conclusively to what
extreme measures these dignified Consti
tution huggers resort to carry the cher
ished plans of their armor-bearers to ma
turity. Admitting that Cronin was', an
elector as far as Governor Grover's cer.iti-•
cote could make him, his action alone
defeated the treachery and created - a
vacancy which the other two bad a right
to fill. Recognizing this fact to be rea
sonable and sup - ported by law, the Repub
licans can give no reason why they should
accept any proposal for a compromise.
The only proper way to obviate a dilemma
is to inaugurate that Candidate who has
received a' majority of the electoral votes
as they have been returned. Democrats
should remember that the vapularanajoie
it y, of which they nit e so loud a noise,
is composed of voters who were- formerly
Republicans, anti should there be la'
:wined resistance to law and authority,
there would unquestionably be an upris
ing of the loyal people as suddenly as
followed Fort Sumpter. TIM Southern
members have already taken a practical
view of the situation. awl they do ntit,
seem to be inclined to t adopt an experi
ment which proved disastrous on the trial'
trip. SlEt.t.Lw.
