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. The
fair :tabor was gratified with a benefit on the third
night,of its representation, which was both flattering
and profitable.

manager.
DREADFUL MURDER.—JonasI. Parker, Tax Col
lector of the town of Manchester, N. H., was murdered
on the evening of the 26th. He was decoyed from
his house by a pretended message from a neighboring
village, and murdered on the road. He wasTound the
next morning with two stabs on his right thigh, and
a dreadful wound on the back of his neck, crossing
the jugularvein and severing it. There were appear.
areas of a hard struggle, and it is supposed that The
murderer was wounded in the right hand in the PM
cowl?, as blood was found-for the space of 200 rods
from the body and numerous indications of his having
dipped his hand in the snow to wash it off. A wallet,
containing $1635 was found on the body, but a pocket
book filled with a large lot of bills, which he bad been
seen to have during the day, is missing.

INDIAOr DIFFICULTIES.—We find the following in
the Van Buren (Ark.) whip of the 11th instant:
We regret to learn that much excitement still prevails
in the Creek nation, arising out of another small skir
mish between ssme Creeks and Pawnee Mahas. 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. Genet al Mc-
Intosh has called a general council of all the Indians
of the prairies and the whole West and Southwest,
to be held in May next at the Creek council ground

river Gambia, was stormed by a column of about 200
baboons, who assailed the natives with great ferocity,
biting and pelting with sticks and stones in their dar

find in the village. The inhabitants made a stout coun

weapons than the monkeys could command. In a run

Most Distressing Areitlent—On the 17th instants
Inantnamed Maxon of Ceres, P t., some twelve miles
abase . Olean, was killed and had his legs boast off UP
to the knees, while at work alone in his sugar bush; a
short distance from his dwelling house. He had been
boiling sap at the foot of a rise of ground, when his
fire getting low; he cut off a large oak log a abort dis
tance above the fire, and fearing that it might roll
against his kettles, thrust a handspike umler one end
of the log to direct its course away from the fire.—
The end of the log rolled on tothehandspika with such
; force as to crush Maxon under it—and crowding his
legs into the fire—they wore burned off to the knees!
Not returning to his home, his family surmised that he
could not leave his kettles with safety—mut about 12
o'clock at night they'became so much alarmed on ac
count of his safety, that they went to the bush in pur
