The returna from tbe various Counties
were examined, first, by Committees,
who waded tbrongh various tremendous
columns of figures comparisons, aggre
gates, averages, per centages, and various
other Arabic contrivances to bother tba
brains of honest peoplo. Counties wbioh
neglected or refused to answer tbo inter
rogatories, which had been propounded at
basis upou which to arrive at conclusions,
were estimated at say ten per cent in
crease. It it well known t' ' one Assessor will
return property at muoa higher rates than
another man who Is equally honest.
Whole couutics, also, it bat been found,
approximate nearer tban others to actual
values. To arrive at uniform tod
equitable rule, inquiries were instituted,
for the purpose of ascertaining, during a
term of years, how atr lands were taxed
to the sums they brought at orphan' court
takt. Sheriffs' sales we think, would
have been a fairer platform. But orphana'
oourt tales were tsken as the basis. Tbe
results 100 being tbe standard were as
follows io a few counties :
Delaware (highest) 71-100ths
Union and Snyder 70 "
All tbe other oounties came down, eomo
as low as between 30 and 40 that is,
they were taxed 30 to 70 per cent, below
what they told for at orphana' oourt tale
assuming tbe returns to be eorreet, and
the test to be a fair one. So the good
Id Republican counties of Delaware,
Union and Snyder stand A. No. 1 io
making honest and up-to the-mark returns.
Tbe agyrrgate increase made by the
Board to tbe taxable valuation of Penn
ey lvania, is about Twenty Millions of
Dollars, making, it it taid, an addition
cf $60,000 per year to the aggregate of
taxes.
Union, Snyder, and a few other toon
ties were not increased in valuation, it
being evident that they were already rated
the highest, proportionally, of any. Geo.
Kase, of Northumberland, did move to
add $179,000 to Union's 3 per eent. list,
but (with our eounly map before tbem)
Mr. Gudykuost waa able to show that in
tax-paying we were already "high enough
up io tbo world." Our people are esti
mated at more rfvm one third per head
over those of our adjoining counties
and although our average wealth is very
probable some creator, there is not so
wide a difference as that. But it it bard
work to reduce the fi
urct a county putt
down for itaelf. and
to tbe Board
seems to have paid us a high compliment :
they made Delaware, Union and Snyder
TUB 6TANDARD, and brought the other
Counties L P TO THiM, at least measurably.
Thus, practically, while oora are not io-
created, the noV counties are icereased,
some very largv..
I give, in a table, tbe valuation estab
lished for our own and adjoining counties.

The Board adjourned, last week,after
nearly a months session, for which tbey
reeeived S6 ter dav and "station erv."
They appeared to be intelligent, sharp
business men, and have dons a good work.
Were it Dot for the war, tbeir additions of
taxable property would warrant a tax
release of another balf mill on real estate,
and perhaps that will be done as it is.
We do not know as they took any adion
on tbe Report of tbe CumnissioDerstorsviso (
the Reveove Code that it Legislation
proper, and this Board's duties are de
fined wnder existing laws. There teems
to be no disposition in the Legislature to
lake np that able, well-digested report of
the Commissioners, which teemi likely to
prove an abortion.
HAKRISBURIr CORRESPONDENCE.
Monday, March 23.
The election for Mayor still attraots at
tention in Harriaburg. Uoumfort't tnj.
is, I believe, 43 aud it it intended by
some to oonitist his eleotion oo the ground
of fraudulent voting. Tbe State Librar
ian, School Superintendent, and other
Officers ia power under Lincoln and Cur
tin, it is stated, eoold easily have eleoted
the Union candidate, and thus given a
mighty impetus towards National success,
from tbe Capital of the State. It it
acknowledged by all that bad our party
began to work a few days earlier, they
eould have awept tbe city. He must work,
and ortjanhe. so as to reach eiery man, to
carry the Free States and save the Na
tion. Our friends in Lebsnnn and Easton
report that they carried those boroughs,
(ususlly against us,) and that wherever tbey
worked intelligently and manfully :hey
are encouraged by the result.
Re-chartcrinij Btuhs. In the Senate,
tbe evening session was prolonged until
10 o'clock, upon a general discussion of
the poliey of re-chartering banks. Sever
al of the very best banks in the State,
with charters yet covering two or three
yean, are asking for a re-charter of their
banks for terms of 15 to 20 years. Tbe
Senate Committee report them for fioe
years only. Tbe poliey is to bring all
Banks to banking upon the U. S. stock
in other words, to make our national in
debtedness tbe basis of our currency for
many years to come.
This evening, Mr. Lowry, (Rep.,) of
Erie said bit oonvictiont of our impolitic
system of banking, and of the necessity of
our saving tbe Natiooal credit, and tbut sus
taining our National arms, compelled him
to vote against every extension of a Bank
ebarter on tbe old plan : and boped tbe
Governor would veto every such bill,
Mr. Kinsey (Dem.) of Bucks, argued
that tbe Banks bad stood by the Govern
ment, with most material aid, in her hour
of peril, and that the people the most
loyal of tbe people while petitioning for
rt-obartsrs, bad never sent one remon
strance against tbem.
Mr- Wilson (Rep.) of Tioga said no one
bad petitioned the Legislature in favor of
the immigration of negroes, yet thousands
bad remonstrated against it. Tbe petitions
for these Banks were mostly from those
who bad some sort of interest in tbem.
Here were 20 it 25 Senators, each of
whom bad feelings for particular banks,
who would unite tbeir votes for re-charter
ing all : whereas, were all these banks in
one district, but few outside of that dis
trict would rote for them. If called to
speak npon the point bis diatriot would
almost unanimojfily remonstrate against
any exeept the Free Banking or the
Natiooal Banking system. He also
hoped the Governor would rise to the
oceasion, and stop this mode of banking,
which eonld not be done too soon.
Mr. M'Sherry (Dcm.) of Adams defen
ded, the Bank of Chambersburg which bad
the entire confidence of all tbe community.
It was argued (by the same one) that tbe
too sudden changing of the banking sys
tem, would create much confusion, and
rather embarrass tbe Government, by the
banks calling in all their dues and in that
way be disadvantageous.
Mr. Turroll (Rep.) of Susquehanna
stated, that while be felt disinclinod to
vote against friends who represented good
Banks, yet he thought two or tbree years
tuffioient time for any or all of them to
settle np their affairs, and to prepare for
that system of National Banking, wbioh
be deemed best, io all respects.
Oo the final vote, the four Philadel
phians, and five other Members voted
against tbe Bank, and 19 or 20 io its
favor. Only too Democrats Donovan of
Pbilad. and Wallace of Clearfield (where
ia a Free Bank) voted acainst the Bill.
So the Democracy is now totally reversed
from its ancient poliey, and is tbe Bank
party 1 How ebaoged is the Democracy I
formerly foremost for Liberty, for War,
and aeainit Banks now foremost for
0
Slavery, for Peaee, and for Banks ! Jeff
erson and Jackson would n't own suoh a
party, if alive in tbia great day.
The bill donating tba interest of tbe
National appropriation for Agrioulture, to
the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania,
near Bellefonte, passed finally.
Tuesday, March 24,
A petition wm to-day pr. sen ted, from
a eitisen of Philadelphia, ia favor of pre
iin the immigration of parsons with
red bair on aooount of tbeir known pugna
! C
cious and disagreeable qualities.
Shinplastert. Certaio evil-disposed par-
ties in Senator Wilson's district hsving
commenced tails against honest men who
in the reeeot emergency issued illegal
notes for curreoey, in accordance with a
supposed necessity and general desire of
the people, be introduced a bill relieving
tbem of all legal liabilities in tbe ease.
As this would settle every petty persecu
tion that might be got up by personal
enemies all over tbe State and in tbe
Legislature have, for two years in success
ion, almost unanimously, excused the
Banks for violations of laws in noo-pay-uenl
of specie, and bave relieved tbem
from tbe penalty thereby incurred it
might have been supposed tbis lesser
offenoe could bave also been overlooked
in tbe circumstances of the case. Men
who honestly redeem Ihie paper money,
bave committed no moral offjoce ; they
have simply disregarded a regulation
respecting a point of currency, prohibited
by a statute. Yet Mr. Kiosey, and tbe
majority of tbe Senate, eould not find it
consistent with tbeir views of duty as
sworn Senators to remove this liability.
Bank directors are all pardoned, over and
over again : but honest merchants and
they whose moral or legal offence is less
heinous and illegal, are left exposed to
every sharper, malignant foe, or merci
less speeulator, who may seek their ruin.
Oo examination and reflection, I see not
bow any Senator could say Nay to a gen
eral bill upon tbis subject, even If they
voted against a local bill ef the same sort.
In tbe prcperation of tbe Appropriation
Bill in tbe House. Mr. Laporte (Rep ) of
Bradford mo7ed to reduce the pay of the
Members and Senators from $700 to $500
for the session. Mr. Beck (Dem.) of
Lycoming moved to increase tbe pay from
700 to $1000, which was carried. But
on voting for that proposition as amended,
it was voted down.
Wednesday, March 25.
Tbe Senate reconsidered Ibe vote
releasing from Goes those who have issued
illegal notes for change. It also, in the
case of the Bank at Bristol, refused to
recbarter for a larger term than five years.
The General Bill legalising taxes, ic ,
by county, borough, and township author
ities.'was passed in the Senate at last. As
it was somewhat amended, I will loot
attempt to give its provisions, and the
vote npon it, until it appears officially.
Tba House held an afternoon session
devoted to tbe passage of tbe Black Bill.
Hopkins of Washington, aa if be saw the
enTeet of certain inhuman features of tbe
bill, tried to soften them down, but the
majority of hie party voted against any
amelioration of it. The bill fioally passed
by 60 votes to 40 4 Democrats sod 6
Republicans absent all the former voting
for, and tba latter against, the barbarous,
unchristiao, and unconstitutional partizan
dodge, unworthy of the Dark Ages, and
appealing to the lowest and meanest pas
sions and pjudices of the most of our
people. Two men voted Yea who, occas
ionally pretend to preach tbe Gospel of
tbe God of love, and take tbe name of tbe
Savior of men upon their lips in the form
of publio prayer. Tbey are Nelson of
Wayne and Wakefield of Westmorland,
men, who, if in tbe sacred desk instead
of slaves to Party, would have shuddered
at such an assault upon the rights of hu.
manity, There is no danger that the
Senate will disgrace Pennsylvania by the
passage of sueb a law, and tbe 50 who
voted for it do not expect it to pass
they only want it to play "Nigger" on
another year.
Patriotic Songstress. As if athamed
of their refusal to grant the use of the Hall
of tbe House to Gov.Johoson and Ex.Gov.
Wright, tbe same Hall was unanimously
granted to Miae Kate Dean, of Tbomkios
Co., N. Y, to give Union songs. I am
told she has been among tbe armies and
hospitals, for the past year, doing what
abe conld to encourage and animate the
soldiers by patriotio and sentimental songs.
She ia a stout hearty lookiog lady, and
wears shoulder straps, and the buttons in
dicative of soma tank in tbe army.
Speaker Cessna presided. She bad a
grand audience, who eheered her heartily,
exeept that "Father Abraham" and few
others failed to touch the echoing hearts
of somo scowling chaps who looked as if
tbey might be Copperheads.
Quite a rain last oight, sad warm this
morning. Butter in tbe Harriaburg
market was 40 cents ; chickens sold fur
$1 a pair, and a pair of turkevs brouehi 3.
1 know of no place where marketing is so
bigb, in a rich farmiogoommuoity, as it is
in Harriaburg neither can 1 account for
it. But I am satisfied thai -there ia a
careless, improvident, hand-to-mouth way
of living, that allows extortion, and pro
motes poverty. Hundreds of families
never lay by a bushel of potatoes or a
quarter of meat in tbeir season : tbey buy
Irom day to day, and arc therefore, from
the cravings of an existing appetite, at the
mercy of Ibe seller : every market morn
ing yon may tee poor, weak women lugging
home every morsel 'of provision for tbe
eomioc days, instead of bovine more or
less by tbe quantity and saving thereby
money, lime and labor.
Dead. Monday night or Toesdsy
morning, a sick man eomiog to Harriaburg
from Baltimore, asked to lean npon the
shoulder of a passenger, who granted bim
leave. Tbo sick man gave bis name aa
Charles L. Noll said be was from
Lewisburg was sick with disease of lungs
bad. been in tba army as adagoarotype-

the llairoad, kindly eared for, and Col.
Slifer was sent for, who seenred ibe atten
tion of Dr. Rutherford, but tbe poor man
died before noon. Notice waa telegraphed
to Lewisburg, before bis death of bis
eondition.
He was nearly 21 yeara of age, a son
of Henry Noll of Buffaloe township, who
brought hie remains boms for interment,
yesterday. Ed.
Small very small lusintns. On con
firming the nomination of Mr. Forney for
State Librarian, the Democrata all voted
Nay. I doubt whether ona of our party
voted against Dr. De Witt's confirmation,
when a Republican Governor bad the
weakness to continue bim : bat DeWitt is
vo more competent than Forney. Let the
majority, or those in power, bave what
belongs to them. Those Sonators would
doubtlesa vote Yea on tbe nomination of
Burrows? They always staod by their
men, and our officials would do well by
doing the same.
Thursday, March 26.
Both houses have agreed to adjourn on
Wednesday the bth day of April, making
a session of one hundred days in all. Of
course tbe "scribes" will henceforth be
kept busy, day and night
In Senate, tbis afternoon, on motion of
Mr. Lamberton of Clarion tbe assessed
vsloation of that eouoty waa virtually
altered to its former figure on the alliga
tion that that county waa not "properly
represented" in tbe Board of Revenue
Commissioners, tbe first man ippoioted lo
tbe Board having died, and the eeeond (I
suppose) being from some other eounty in
this district. Every eounty cannot bave a
member, and that eounty was respectably
represented. If every county beeauae it
was raised in value bad no "proper repre
sentative," over sixty will bava to be
reduced 1 Better let it alone I W.
Great Robbery. Oo Wednesday
night of last week, as the Norlhero Cen
tral Railway train was passing near Cock
eysville, Md., tbe safe of lbs Adama
Express Company was thrown out of its ear.
It contained a great amount of treasure,
for which a reward of $5,000 wm offered.
On Sunday, the aafe was found io a mill
racethere being io it still a large amount
of Government bonds, certificates and
checks, well soaked with water but some
$50,000 of Treasury notes and gold eoin
were gone, and no track is yet had of
them. It waa a grand bauL and tbe
Company will probably lota a largo aum,
through the absence of tba Agent Irom

CoMnaiaoiis. li is useless to deny that
the masses of the the people have a deep
seated and settled confidence in "Sarsaparit
la," as an.alternative remedy. Notwithstand.
ing this confidence has of late years been
abused by many preparations claiminr, to pos
sess its virtues but really with none at all.siiil
the people believe in its intrinsic valua as a
remedy, because tbey have known its cures.
Tbe ra;e fur large bottles al luw prices, has
called into market many compounds of Sarsa
parilla, which contain scarcely any uf it, or
even any medical virtues whatever. Yet
everybody knows ibatSarsaparillaisihe great
staple antidote (or Scrofula, Eruptions and cu
taneous diseases, and the purification of the
blood, when they can gat the real article, or
an actual eitrael of it. Such we are now
able to inform they can obtain. Dr. J. C
Ayrr & Co., the celrbrated chemists of tbe
East, whole reputation assures us they do
well whatever tbey undertake, are selling a
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, which,
although the bottles do not eonlain quarts ,lur
a dollar, do contain more of actual curative
power than whole gallons of the stuff which
bare been in use. it is asserted thai one
bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla contains more
than double the amount of medicinal virtue,
which is afforded by any other. This fact is
not only apparcnt'to the taste, but its stfects
and cures afford incontestible proof that it is
true. Such a remedy has been long soarrht
for, and is everywhere needed by ail classes
of onr community. ".t', Cynthiana, Ky.
