It has always been necessary to bring workmen
from Philadelphia, if a handsome jab was wanted,
but Mr.. Tice hue made such a spleurild piece of
work. In Mr. Dresher's house that satisfies every
body of his rare skill. Ile has averaged three
hundred bricks a day, while the laying of from
seventy-five to a hundred is considered a pretty
good day's work. Considering the extra amount
of work and the superior mariner In which 'it was
done, Mr. Tice is deserving of great praise and we
believe that next year be will have his hands fall.
He has at least shown that the cost of putting up
pressed brick fronts In this city can be considera

nearly all to solid Grant men, which besides the

doubt very seriously whether the last clause will
be complied with In one case out of a hundred ;
because we know that where a man Is mean

WIIAT DOES IT MEAN 4—There never Was
a State tax Imposed on occupations whereof the
value was less than $2OO. An act approved April
20, 1544, imposed a State tax of one per cent. on
occupations valued over $2OO.
But besides the one per eLbt. State tax the Com
missioners of Lehigh Co., through their Assessors
have assessed every year, for many years past a
State tax of 3 mills on the dollar, on every man's
profession, trade, or occupation, no mutter what
the value thereof is. And th Is year the three
State tax on occupation° has been again as
sessed. The one per Lent. State tax on occupa.
Linos was repealed by an act approved June 2nd
1871. A State tax of three mills on the dollar on
occupations was never Imposed as will be found
stated In Gen.. llartran fts letter below. Immedi
ately after the approval of the act of June 2od
1871,the commissioners were notified not to collect
the one per cent. State tux on occupations for 1871,
and to refund whatever of this tax had been col
lected.
CHAS. D11:111, EN. j car dlr: Yours of the

1844, sec. 34 (P. 8., p 499) taxing "trades, occu
pations and professions," Imposes a tax of "one
per emu: upon every dollar of the value thereof
above two hundred dollars.. There has never
been a State tax Unposed when the value thereof
was less than two hundred dollars. The Act of
June 2, 1871,repeals the tax of one percent. above
referred to. Since the passage of the last men
tioned Act there is uu State tax whatever on

of political larceny, for wtileCthey will be con
victed before the people and compelled to pay the
cost. Horace Greeley was not the choice of the
leaders of the Cincinnati Convention, but be was

Convention endorsed Lim because they hoped by
this means to gain the power they bad lost, al
though It was a bitter pill for them to swallow.
II Greeley should be elected, with a Democratic
Congress, the rebel soldiers will be pensioned and
perhaps the South indemnified for the loss of the

b'er of the Cabinet, as there Is reason to believe ho

performed the duties of his office faithfully, and
we can trust him four years longer. The people
of this country are not going to trust that ,. party

the Republican party are at unto ity with the South
—that they are oppsed to amnesty and recon

AUDITOR GENERAL'S OFFICE,
I lARIIINItURO, PA., July 23, 102.
PERsoNAL.—Lunt week we land the pleas
ore of meeting our friend Mr. Joseph M cKee,
formerly of Catasauqua, but for the past inalfyeat
engaged la the management of an iron furnace h.
Alabama. After the experience he has had in
tut State, Mr. McKee gives it as his opinion that
within ten or fifteen years Alabama will be the
neat of the most extensive Iron manufacture this
country has ever known, the abundance and extra
quality of the ore, the case with which It Is mincd,
and the various proposed railway routes now In
cour-e of being built, conducing with a certainty
that la Inevitable to that result. The quality 01
ore which the furnaces In Lehigh county are using
as a superior article lies untouched In Alabama
because there Is so much better at hand that li
does not pay to pick it up; and although char
coal is of necessity used almost exclusively now in
making Iron there, the completion of railway lines
o seaport and market towns will obviate that ,iii
deulty by rendering available heavy dedoslts al
coal In other and now distant sections of the Stat..
If our friend's prediction Is as sound as it 13oks,
the Lehigh Valley roust ke. p on banding furnaces,
or the banner of leadership in the manufacture of
pig Iron will be unfurled elsewhere.
As to the terror supposed to attmd a present
ry sideace In the South, Gen. Grant's admlnistra
thou has so entirely corrected that evil in Ala
bama that equal safety is enjoyed there with any
of the Northern States; and the people so appre
elate the condition of things that has been pro
vided through proper and discreet management,
so soon after the confusion and demoral 'cation in
a great war, that they are fully d.itermined to do
all they can to continue the administration in
power that has done. so well by them. If Gen.
Grant is reelected Alabama, under the benevoleio
and progressive policy held towards her, will be
enabled shortly to attain a development of her ex
haustless resources that will make her the ricite:t.
State In th: Union.
We aro glad to bear to good a report of South
ern affairs from one who has had so unusual y
good opportunb les of observation, arid hope Owl
Mr. MeKee's visit north will be fraught with the
pleasantest Incidents.

ANOTHER MAN Kzt.Lnn.—Mr• Alfred Me
hus, was a highly respected citizen of Oita
sampan, and a flrst.class baker. Ills sud
den death and the unfortunate manner of It.
throws a gloom today over a wide clrele of friends
and relatives who are called upon to mourn tin•
loss of line whose influence In life was for good,
whose friendship was firm, and whose inda,try
and business qualities rendered him a valeta bit-
member of the community.
Tuesday morning, at about ten o'clock, Mr.
Mebus was driving In his baker wagon In Iloken
dauqua, from the top of the hill towards Price's
tavern. On the side hill are two railway cros
sings, about thirty yards apart, the upper over tile
track of the Thomas Iron Company's railway.and
the lower one the Hrikendaturia crossing over the
L. V. It. It. M r. Mebus Iti driving over the up
per crossing bad Just escaped a train and the de
scent to the lower crossing being quite steep and
the baker wagon heavy, the horse naturally
started on a trot and Just got on the lower cros
sing so meet a detachment of empty ore cars be
longing to a train of cars that was being pushed
Instead of pulled by the engine, and as it ran
along It switched oil' detachments of cars at dif.
ferent plal•es. At the time Mr. Mebus and the
first detachment of 'about twenty curs met on the
I crossing, the cars were moving at about the rate
of from five to seven miles an hour, and after the
cars struck the horse, n moment's stoppage . was
made by the collision, but Ilia second detachment
,of the train coming on struck arid Pushr d the first
detachment over the horse, wagon and man. All
the cars were running by themselves, the engine
having been detached 1111 d was about a quarter of
a mile above the crossing.
From the evidence produced at the Coroner's
inquest, which was held at half-past one at Price',
tavern,Mobus stopped his horse immediately upon
the track when the front brakesmin shouted at
Mtn, and tried to Jerk his horse hark, but falling
In that hr jumped out and caught the animal be
the head, hut as soon as his hand was at the bit
the car struck the horse and knocked It against
Mebus, who fell. Another witness says that Me
bus appeared to Jump up from the seat out of the
wagon on the track as soon as he landed upon
which the horse was struck without his catching
him by tlitt.head at all. The man, horSe and
wagon were dragged about forty yards down the
track from the crossing before the cars were
stopped, when Mr. Mebus was foUnd lying across
the track—dead, the wheels having crushed his
neck so that the hone connection between the
head and body was completely dissolved. Ills
ribs on the left side were badly smashed in and
b ekes, and seven bruises and cuts were sustained
about the arms and head.
Coroner Romig empanelled a Jury and the In
quest, after the body had been received, elicited
about the above facts. The jury after the exam
ination of witnesses'had been concluded, viewed
the crossing and found that a person driving from
the upper crossing could only see up the trick
about twenty yards before getting on the crossing,
rendering the crossing, If no watchman Is em
ployed, a very dangerous oue. It transpired In
evidence that no watchman was employed, and
that the only, protection to travelers was their
own watchfulness. The first and only signal to
Mebus was the shouting of the after hie
horse was on the track. R. Clay flamersly was
present and took down the evidence on behalf of
the family of dece . ased,and Robert R. Wright, Jr.,
appeared In the capacity of counsel for the com
pany. After the examination of some ten witnes
ses the Jury returned the following verditt :—That
deceased came to his death by being run over by
a train of cars on the Ilokendauqub crossing over
the L. V. R. R., at ten o'clock on the 13th day of
August, 1872, and that his death in In a large
mea are due to the gross negligence of the rail
way company in not having a proper slims' sys
tem at so Important and frequently traveled cross
ing.
The wagon was wrecked, but the horse, though
struck first and knocked down and pushed with
the man and wagon the considerable dktonce
above mentioned, sustained only flesh wounds
and was able to walk after It was extricated from
the wagon and cars. It 'would seem probable
from the facto f counsel representing the family
at the Inquest, that a snit for damages Is to be
Instituted..

THOMAS 0 attitEsTaA COMING.—We are glad
to he able to-day to announce to the people of Al
lentown and vicinity that an engagement has been
completed with the 'I humus Orchestra, of New
yo,t,t, to give ;mower of their incomptr.hle con
verts In this city, on the 0001 of October next.
This orchestra, us is well-known and, indeed, can
not b e forgotten, has already appeared before our
publiv twice and the Interest created upon those
occasions, among the Ilivers or true art in music,
Was such As to amply just iry'another engagement;
for it Is certain that ;ill whin lirtened to their ren
ditiptis before will not fail for any consideration
to attend again. We take pride In asserting that
in Allentown a better appreciation Is shown of
cultivated music than in any of our sister cities lu
Eastern Pennsylvania.
TAKING TIME nv THE FoREIMCK.—We have
not Iced on several occasions, and especially nearly
eery day last wrek,unusu dly large receipts of rub
her boots and shoes at the boot anti shoe estah'ish
ment of Me inns. John E. Lentz Az Co., at Hamil
ton and Sixth streets, and as our curiosity Was cis
cited In regard to the matter, thinking a local
might be made of it, we went into the store and
asked for information why so heavy a stock of
this class of goods was laid in so early in the Bea
son. We were politely received by the proprietors
and told that the goods had been bought thus early
to secure them previous to the advance lu price
which has' Just taken place.
Our admiration of this business foresight and
sagacity was of course excited, and we further
suppose that hovers will share in the adventsges
of the speculation, as this firm having bought
cheaper, will also be enabled to sell cheaper than
their competitors.
Trot employees of the Catasauqua Manufnc•
taring Company express the highest gratification
with the management and conduct of their plc-sic,
held on Saturday last, between A Reunite and Trex

an uncomfortably high degree of temperature but •
the thick shade of the woods and thd cool breezes
that sprung up In the afternoon, rendered the
occasion, with either features to make It enjoy elite,
one that the participators In Itsiestlvitlca will long
remember with gratitude mid a due appreciation
of the generous business policy which can Sod
thee In the manufacture of Iron to give away a
day to recreation. One lesson of experience that
Is seldom learned, Is that days . devoted, at discreet
Intervals, to the pleasure of Its employees by a cor
poratlon, and properly rood ucted,arenot lost time,
but In the end, and by that Intangible Infltience
that we cannot see work, always redound to the
ernoluinent of ,both the giver and theyeclpleut—
to the former In the ability nnd'wlllingness to do
more work, and to the latter In the profits of the
extra labor. We are glad the Catasauqua Man
arm tiering Company, has thus set am example to
the other corporations of the Valley.

Bethlehem Correspondence
SOUTH BETHLEHEM, PA., August 19, 1872
Ed. Chronicle: Political news Is rather scarce in
this town, excepting that very many wise gent!,
men of the Greeley persuasion say that there arc
27 or 30 Greeley Republicans sure- In Bethlehem
proper, but that they do not wish to have it known
publicly. This Is whistling to keep up courage.
Having nominated a candidate they claim his
electon until the votes are counted,—for the se
ri ,e 1 ride North Carolina, lately.
The Republicans of South Bethlehem . held a
quiet, but very respectable meeting in their club
room, on Saturday, August '.7. Addresses were
delivered by Mr. E. Philips ,superintendent of the
blast furnace, and by Thos. Kidd, Esq. It is for
tunate that the Grant •e Wilson party have such
energetic men akthelrhead,as they have In a place
where by the confession and sworn testimony of
their own men, the Democrati polled 25 votes
more last spring than the whole number of enters
in the %Val' I, and at a delegate election lua more.
At the same time and place, though not lu the
same room, met the "unterritled newly black
legged" as th y are now called, to listen to a
bombastic peroration of that Irrepressible modern
Demosthenes, Mr. Kidder, editor of the Progress.
Prior to this, the Massa Greeley Club paraded the
town with drum and life and a Bag silk the union
upside down —a reliable fact—characteristic:of the
'guide clown condition of the whole farce, inelud.
ing party, orator, oration and all. It was an af
fair exactly In keeplog,for, while Mr. Kidder was
lsping his account of historic dates, a drunken
ditntuycrat Insisted on having his say. Another
patriot knocked patriot No. 1 down. •'No. 1 being
quieted, was seat home ; when a Teuton wanted
to have "Demoeratisli" explained oaf Deutsch..
It le not without weight that Jas. MeNlithou and
Andrew Dieter, the latter a Belgian, both chief
bosses at the Zinc Works, and formerly Demo
cray3,are out fur Grant; and the Greeleyites fear
such precedents from men who hate so much In
fluence, hdsvever much they may pooh-pooh In
their asseverations of Insignificance. The better
men of Irish birth are also true to their love of
liberty and will vote for Grant and Wilson. -
Lo! what a number of patriots we have to serve
the country ! candidates as plenty as blackberries
In July. South Bethlehem has five, If not six,
sure; Bethlehem two, making eight right here

IRONTON, August 10, 1872
.I.fr Editor :—The Democrats held a Muss
Meeting at this place on Saturday evening, to
raise a pole for Greeley, Brown and Buckalew.
George H. Rupp and Adam Woolever, Esq., were
hero to address the few, bat for want of men they
could not raise the pole until alter twelve o'clJek.
There were only 27 Democrats, 32 Republicans
and 40 boys and women present. The Demo.
soon had so much benzine aboard that they could
not pull at all, so their kind hearted Republicans
11851fituti aad the pole was raised, but the speakers
being disgusted by this time, went home without
having made a speech. This is another evidence
of the unpopularity of the Democratic notninees.
The Ring men have made great boasts of what
they would do In the present canvass, but the
more they go out the more they are convinced that
the laboring men are solid for Grant.

Mauch Chunk .Correspondence
litAvcn CHUNK, August 17th,a1872
Editor Lehigh Register :—Tho non-appearance
for quite a time of Mauch Chunk Items In your
paper, prompts me to the 'writing of this. Al
though Mauch Chunk Is situated amongst the
mountains, It neveatheless does not escape the hot
spells of the suinmefaeason. We have bad very
warm weather up here for the last two weeks, h•
fact " hot" would be the correct term for it, ana
of late several very heavy showers which have
moderated the heat to some extent.
The Mansion House, which has already gained
a wide reputation as a summer resort, Is at pres
ent crowded with city folks, and Is the most lively
place In town. Mr. Booth, the enterprising pro
prietor, allows the house to lack In nothing which
will add to the comfort and pleasure of his man)
guests. The famous Switch-back route brings tt
this town excursions almost every day. Last
Thursday a large excursion from Philadelphia
passed over the route, requiring sixteen L. dc,
passenger coaches to curry them all.
The Republicans of this town are now fully or
gablzed for the campaign and are pushing on lb.
noble work. We can boast of one of the strong
est Grant, Wilson and Hartrauft Clubs outside at
the city of Philadelphia. The club meets regu
larly every Saturday evening in the Town Hall.
where :addres:cs are delivered by the foremost
speakers of the State. Last Sitturday evening the
Club was addressed by Col. Fitzgerald, of the
Philadelphia lily Item. The Colonel delivered a
stirring address, carrying with him his entire au
dience, who evidenced their approval by repeatca
applause.
The "L•beral Republicans" In this section ore
few and far between. Dan Kalbfus, Esq., is th.
chief amongst them, but as far as I know be has
very little ilifluence. Last week a meeting was
called for Liberal Republicans only, and all they
could muster at that meeting were five. Of these
A. Robeson was chosen President, and R. F.
Brown Secretary, and they dared not choose more
officers, for their audience was then only three.
So you see that up here the Liberals are very
scarce—say six In all, and we have more that,
that number of Democrats who will vote for Grant
and Wilson.
Rest assured that Little Carbon will do her duty
this 1011. She will give the regular Republican
vets for Gen. Ilattrauft and more than that tot
Grant ar.d Wilson. Gen. Albright, of this place,
one of the candidates for Congress at large,stand,
very high amongst the working class of people
around here, and will nn doubt receive a majorit)
In Carbon county. W ill let you know from time
to time how we are progressing In the campaign.
Yours truly.
