the nailp Morning post PHILLIPS t WK. H. SHITH:HOrfoRs PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2,1845 RIEFORT OF Tag BOLRD OF RAVEN 17Z COMMlS lacurnts.—The great length of this document, and the crawled state of our columns render it impossilile fur totoblieh it entire. We therefore mike a bri e f iimpihor it, embracing its leading , features. The Board : At out by showing the great emberraseaterit attoodie' It upon the proper discharge of their duties— thoebea no ple4.dents, in the proceedings of any aim. Bar body, and no( returns but such as were detective. To illustrate the loose manner in which valuations assessmen t s have heretofore been made, the board that they detected an error of $70,000 in the • of the valuation of a single township. The board sent interrogatories to the several coun ties, and subpsensed witnesses to.elieit 'facts in rela tion to the objects of their labors; they also sent to the various-counties for lists of orphans' court and -iher iff's sales, 'together with the present assessed valua tion of the same fends. In consequence, however, of not being able to obtain these lists in time from all the counties, the Board would not use those they did obtain• The other testimony they had, they think-very unsatis factory and very dangerous to be followed. In some counties the property was vonsidertibly un dervalued. In others, the county commissioners struck off one-third of the whole valuation returned hrtheeupsessors, who were sworn to the just and bon-, " est performance of their duty—thus violating or eva ding the law—for they were neither authorised to eel ne'l►roperty nor to alter the value fixed by the as sessors. The valuations in many of the counties far the presets, year, are, the board seem to think, too low— but they bad no proof that they were so, and Telt obli ged to let them stand unaltered. They were much embarrassed by.the refusal of witnesses to attend, and few persons would answer the written interrogatories motto them. To remove these difficulties, the follow ing suggestion is made: !!The board might perhaps be permitted here es' eampest, Motif proper authority were given to the Au ditor Generale:. State Treasurer, nearly all the fore gulag, difficulties might be overcome. It seems to the board that the commissioners cf every county ought to be required to adept the same form in the returns made by them. Authoritative instructions should be issued by the Auditor General, requiring very specific returns from the commissioners cf the whole amount of each of of taxation, in each township in their re spective 'counties; or at least the classifications of ob jects should be as numerous as is at all consistent with accuracy an/ convenience,. This would be of great use to the Auditor General, and any subsequent board of revenue commissioners, in testing the accuracy of the returns. But nothing of this kind can be of tiny use made proper forms are prepared at Ha rriaburgh, and sent to all the county commissioners." 'the board found groat discrepancies in the returns of the amounts of trades and occupations, and salaries onset of office ever $2OO. In this way the incomes of individuals have been almost entirely exempt from taxation, and the public burdens ore almost exclusive ly thrown upon the land. The board think it unfair to make the fanner pay tax for his land, nod also for the profits he derives from it, and strongly recommend that some measures be taken to secure a more just as sessment. The board believe :Jenne income under $2OO, shofar' be taxa. As they are in doubt whether incomes are tobe taxed according to the act of June 1444, at cos Mill on the dollar; or, according to the arse '4l, at one per cent on every dollar above $2OO —dasy ask the legislature to pass an act to determine dot quistioti. It bas been found impossible to get at any thing like the real amount of stocks. foreign or domestic, which are subject to taxation. In order to remedy this evil, sofar as relates to &emetic stock, the board recom mend that corporations be taxed directly, and not the stockholders. Great difficulty has been met with, in ascertaining the amount of household ftuniture, liable to taxation --there bag also been a deficiency in the returns of money at interest due to individuals. To remedy these things, iris proposed to authorize assessors to require of each individual, even on oath, answers as to the a memo of money on interest due to him. The board enter into a sort of defence df this project, which, it fears, will beliable to strong opposition. The opinion is expressed that the mode of valuing lands by a nominal standard, falls fat short of the real standard, and the board think it almost fair to infer that in no county in the state has property been valu ed tip to the cash selling standard. Although the re turns of raoney at interest, salaries, occupations, car riages, &c. are manifestly unequal, the board has ed. hexed to them, because, in guessing a t their proper amount, they ran the tisk of doing serious injustice. The next triennial assessment should, in the opini on of the board, take place in the fall of '46, and the neat Revenue Beare sh3old meet in '47. We are glad the "board seem favorable to the proposed tax en Stats•stocks; the follo:ring p.uagraphs from the re port,-en -that and other subjects, will be foand into. resting: "This board have not eonsitiered it within their province to enter into a general enumeration of objects of taxation than might be resorted to in relief of real estate, already burdened as much as it should pro portionally be ar. It is proper, however, to state that it has been testified before them in a atannento indi cate that a tax on the loans of the state would not be onseeeptable to the holders thereof, by way-of aqie ductiois.from the interest, when accompanied with-the announce that there will be no future failure in the paymentithereof with punctuality, and that the assess ment will be maintained et the same rate of taxation as other similar investments. The board also invite the attention of the Legislatuse to the consideration of the subject, whether all inheritances might not be made the objects of taxation. Many have also suggested that it would greatly increase the income of the state, orgreatly decrease the labors and expenses of degisla tion, if a fee bill were adopted to impose a tax upon all private acts of Assembly. "Difficulties in the collection of t trees appear to have feu from that provision in the law, which makes the idles:tors' warrants good for three years. Negligent collectors frequently put off the collection of the taxes acme year, or at least a great part of them, until the next year; and thus a great pert of the taxes of two years are collected in one, to the great annoyance of the people. It may well be questioned whether it wiski not be better to make the warrant void in the collector's hands, unless executed within the year. This might secure the necessary promptness. 1"h is matter of regret to the board that the complaint V universally found, that there is great inequality sod injustice in the valuation of unseated lands. In certain districts . where large tracts are held by nen residenu, the unseated lands are assessed far beyond their actual value. The principal benefit of Ibis unjust proceeding, is realized by the township officers. A large road fax is raised, which goes into the hands of supervisors, whose accounts are rarely subjected to rigorous supervision. The money in some manner disappears without the public being sensibly benefitted, the abject of law being mainly disregarded. and the him itself made art instrumental" oppression and plun der. While it must be acknowledged that there can be no worse monopoly than • monopoly of lands bought and held fur speculation,atal retarding the set tlement of the country, yet surely this unjust mode of vaivarion is OJ proper way of overcoming the evil. The bunt(' trust and believe that this serious evil now ally pointed out, may find its just and sufficient or 1!!MIIIII=MI rective by appenl to the board of revision, if re-consti tuted as heretofore recommended." The great remissness of some of the counties iii paying their share of the State tax, is justly censured, abd the neglect of collectors and treasurers, to coiled and pay - over public money, is spoken of ati a serious evil. We do not like the plan mentioned in the Re port, of making a redaction of i per -cent. to those who pay their taxes promptly. mate compelling-those who are tardy from any cense, to pay 5 per cent. addl. ' tional--of this, and of the scheme of sending the Treasurer to the townships. to collect, we have before expressed our opinion. A more rigid course, however, towards delinquent collectors and treasurers, seems absolutely necessary. The board recommend* reduction in the expenses of courts, by summoning a smaller number of jury men, each term, increasing the jury fee, and providing that, with consent of parties, -certain cases might be hied without a jury The board is of opinion that the inequality of tax ation is by no means so great as has been generally sup posed, and that under-valuations of property have been general all over the State. The report concludes with a decided expression of the conviction that Pennsylvania can and will meet all her engagements; and strongly insists that to have more quality in taxation, those whose wealth is not in lands, should be made to bear a fair share of the public burdens. • RzvartuE Brta..—The St Johns (N B) Chronicle says.:—lt is reported that a strong disposition per vades the House to equalize the duties on all impor ted goods, whether from England or the United States, placing them at sor 7 1-2 per cent. We can scarcely believe that the Assembly would adopt such a ruinous policy towards our infant manufactures; and placing American manufactures on the same footing as British, may, at no distantaay, bring about an equalization of the timber duties—a circumstance which it belmoves us by all means to avoid bringing on ourselves. THEATRICALS seem to have taken a sudden rise in New York. At the -Park, Mns MONATT'S new play, Fashiox, has been played five nights to over flowing audiences, and seems destined to have its suc cessful a •'run" as its namesake of the Turf.

It appears that a few Creeks were out on the prairies hunting, when they were way laid and one of their num ber dangerously wounded by the Pawnee Mahas. The Creeks returned their fire with success, killing one of their enemies. They then cut off his arm at the el bow, and again at t wrist; eating the flesh off the arm and sending the and to their chief, General Mc- Intosh. These facts have been communicated to Gen eral Arbuckle, and we understand be hes also been re quested to station some troops in the Creak nation in order to stop the visits of there hostile Indians who have threatened to attack the Creeks when the grass is high enough to subsist their horses.
