As reckless as we knew the Observer to be, we
were really prepared for any thing like the fol-
lowing extract:
As to the assertion, that sc almost every
mans property was assessed by the Board,

we have not examined the record (for we had
nothing to do with the facts as regarded pri-
vate Individually but from information on
which we rely,we do not hesitate TO Prononnce
it a BAR EFACED F.4LSEH0OD.
The Observer, it will be seen, acknowledges that
he "did not examine the records, YET, con informa-
ton ppen which he can rely," he pronounces our
state enenf last W kek ia barefaced faisehood" and
that too, after we}had stated that we did examine
the records, and certainly would not, before the
world, publish SO base lie as the Observer says we
did.
To settle the matter we took fiiend to the Court
House on Thursday last, and examined the tax list'

and '37,) the value of his property given IN by

board of valuation in 1887 The resul. proved &c
whose property had been raised by the board;
Eli whose property had not been raised, and whose
property had been lowered by the board from the
valuation Of 1886. Many persons had their proper
ty raised double by the Board, some, half much
again, and SO on. The property on the northeast
Of Market square raised from ST. 900 to
1000!
We can get the certificate of the Clerk Of the
Court, if necessary, to prove that we made a
fair examination, and that state facts as they
appear the books; we therefore think that we are
justified in hurling back, do, the ''barefaced
falsehood into the face of the Editor Of the Obser
yer.
The large majority ofthe property holders were
dishonest, says the Observer. He will find some o
his relations among the dishonest ones. TIE Banks
says he, did not practice this dishonesty. That's a
"whapper;" for in 1886, the Cape Fear Bank gave
in piece of property at $4,000, and the board o
valuation put it up to S3,5Oo! So that in the same
breath that he Of ssfalsehoods, he is tell

we want the D ublic to know it.

To know what! Why, that the Editor Of the OBJ
publishes bareaced fa!sehoods in his paper
See the first one:
To the Hon. Mr. Fillmore: A few days
ago, you, as Chairman of The Committee of
Ways and Means for the House Of Repre-
sentatives, introduced bill which you called
e Revenue bill,' the object of which was,
by raising the Tariff to increase the rerenue.
1t is evident that when you introduced that
bill you had not seen Mr. Henry's defence
of hims elf on this Tariff question, contain
ed in his organ of Saturday last.
See the nert:
The defence set up by MIR Henry through
his organ in this town in justification Of his
evading the payment of three:ft1hs of the Tax
to which he was annually subject, is a
most remarkable one.
Docs the Editor Of the Observer know that the ar
tcles referred to by him written by Mr. Henry
If he does not know it, he has laid himself liable
the charge Of publishing 'barefaced alsehoods" and
take occasion here to say that the articles referxed
to above by the Editor OF the Observer were
written by the whose name is at the head ofthis
paper and who tells the Editor aforesaid that he
told most barcaced falsehood," when he said to
the contrary, for MIR Henry knew nothing of them,
directly or indirectly.
is w e have cause to be proud that our editor I
ials attributed to such a Mr. Henry, and
we only notice it to shew the public what sort OF a
the aforesaid Editor is that he makes positive
assertions for which he has other foundation than
a suspicion.
Now let him prove that speak false, or else
take the lie and make the best Of it.
1t is question that the Editor might very profit
ably with himself, whether he ever tells the
truth when astory would suit him better.

Another Veto.

John Tyler, the Accidental President OF the Uni
ted States, has again arrested the action of Con-
gress by refusing to sign the new Tariff Bill. The
Bill, with his reasons for not signing it, was re-
turned to the House of Representatives on We'd
nesday last, and referred to a committee of thir-
teen, Of which the Hon. ]. Q. Adams is Chairman,
for their consideration and report. Congress was
busiy engaged on this Bill for months, and had
brought it to high state of perfection. Its pas
sage would have spread gladness throughout the
land, and operated like charm in reviving busi-
ness and restoring confidence. But the ruthless
hand of envy has denied our people the blessings
of its provisions The division of the public lands
among the States, provision for which is con-
tanned in the Bill is made the pretex for the veto;
but it is obvious from the whole tenor of Mr.. Ty-
ler's reasoning that he would not have signed the
Bill, even if that had been omitted. 1t is uncer-
tain what course Congress will now see proper to
pursue. 1t is generally supposed that nothing can
be done consistent with the wants of the country
which will be approved of by the acting President
The House have passed Resolution to adjourn

it on Monday last.
