al 500. SO that according 10 his own
estimate he lost the enormous sum of $500
Ia most terrible calamity truly for a rich
man, and one calling loudly upon the poos
widow 10 contribute her mite TO relieve
his distress. But further, few months
after the fire, he sold the vacant lot for
$1,000, precisely the sum at which he had,
under oath, valued the whole house and
lot. Now according TO these facts, he did
not lose any thing, and could have put in
no claim for any portion Of the Fund.
Bot perhaps he may say, that he did not
give in his Store and Lot at their full value
We shall not dispute this plea. He GER
taiHly did not. The House and Lot we're
probably worth from $1,000 TO $1,000
What does this prove! Why that whilst
q conscientious man gave in his property
al its value, or IFS cost, and thus contribute
ed his due proportion to the burdens Of
taxation, Mr.. Henry give in his at half its
worth, and thus paid but half his proper
tax. Who made up the deficiency to-
wards the support of government! Why
every honest man who gave in his proper
ty at u fair valuation, and among others
the Banks, those manufactures of rogueS
and swiadlers " in this town, who, il is well
known, always gave in their properly at u
very high valuation, Improving, that though
" corporations have no SOULS" they some
times have little more than some indi.
yiduals.
To show the extent 10 which Mr.. Henry
practised this mode of "saylng a penny"
by throwing the burdens Of taxation off his
own shoulders upon the dear people,, we
have ascertained, that before the passage
Of the Assessment Law, by which proper
~ became subject to valuation, not by the
owner, but by Board Of Assessors, Mr..
Henry gave in real estate in this town and
county at 3,l30, which the Board valued
al S7,7732. So that for years before tho
Legislature of 1886 passed that most Just
and necessary law, Mr.. Henry had not
paid half as much taxes on his real estate
as he ought TO have done, and this too,
Notwithstanding the bulk of his wealth was
50 invested in Bonds, Ohio Stocks, &c. as
to pay 10 taxes--to contribute nothing to
support government or relieve the public
buiihens. And now he asks the people,
rich and poor, who have been paying
portion Of his taxes, TO make him Govern.
or Of the State
The records Of the town and county
show the truth of the facts we have sta
ted. We should not have known some Of
them, but for the gratuitous reflection up
on the Wings made by Mr.. Henry in his
speech. If he is satisfied with the effects
Of that reflection, SO are wc.-Fdyetterille

Mr.. Hoitoa: DEAR SIR: According
10 previous arrangement, large portion
of the Wealth, Beauty aud Talent, Of
Providence, assembled at 4 Mile Creek,
on Friday the 10th inst. for the purpose Of
spending the evening in the destruction of
the finny inhabitants of the deep. The
day was unusually fine, and the bright eyes
and smiling faces Of the Ladies, gave ten
fold interest to the scene. The Gents,
also, summoning their whole powers, of
FASCINATION 10 their aid, related their va
rious amusing tales and sketches, discussed
the principal ON DTS of the neighborhood,
displayed their PUNGENT wit By sundry
tests and wrrrIcIsNs, in fact, used all ex-
ertions TO please and amuse the Ladies'
The evening passed on until an advanced
hour, when The company adjourned, to
splendid entertainment prepared expressly
for them. The appctlles of the Ladies
(as uSua) were very delicate, but the
Gents ! OH! Gemini had you but seen
the goodly portions Of Cake, which disap-
peared as if BY magic, YOU would have con-
cludcd they were HUNGRY, : and no mis-.
take. After supper the company repaired
to their respective homes, full of the pleas
ing an,icipations incident TO such occasions.
A word TO the GENTS. Your appathy
Gentlemen, with regard TO this, as well as
every other occasion, IN which, attention
10 the Ladies is involved, is truly astonish-
ing instead of taking the lead in such ai-
fairs YOU generally await the word Of
COMMAND, as il were, and not until YOU
are actually CHALLENGED-wiIi YOU
ever more in such matters. No doubt
YOU will shortly believe II TO be the duty Of
The Ladies 10 pop THE QUESTION
Shame on such ungallant squires. Such
diilidencc on this IMPORTANT subject, is al
WAYS looked upon by the Ladies as Indica-
tive of cold heart, aud very PARTIALLY

therefore TO be more attentive, anticipate
every scheme of pleasure or amusement
which is calculated to crafty the fair sex,

The Wings, since they have obtained the

meat may be tested by looking at the CT

of the foregoing dates, in the Acts Of Con.

the several Counties. Those who saw
nothing wrong in these expenditures of

an insult TO The understanding of our peo-

the least regard for the land of his birth,

personal TO himself. Let the people mark
the authors oflhis attempt TO deceive, and
distrust them for the future.

IRON TEXAS.-1MPORTANT.

The New Orleans Picayune, 4th inst.
SAYS: News was received in town last
evening to the effect that President Hous-
ton has convened a special sitting of Con-
gress for the 27th June.
Judge Terrell, the Attorney General
has been sent to the East TO concentrate
the troops in that section.
Two MeXicans were recently captured
on the ether side Of Corpus Christi and
brought to Galveston. They were well
treated and Immediately liberated by Gen.
Houston. This is as it should be-for
whatever indignities may have been heap
ed upon Texian prisoners Of late in por-
tons Of Mexico, there is little to be gained
and no satisfaction TO be obtained by re-
taliating upon persons who had no hand in
those outrages.
The special call for an extraordinary
session Of Congress in Texas undoubtedly
has reference to the much talked of inya-
sion of Mexico, and the present state of at.
fairs in The slngIe-star republic.
The above items are facts. There were
and important ones, in town last

Repairs Of the Governors Hvuse.--Tho
L9colocos amazed at the spectacle Of II
public officer returning the larger portion
o an appropriation back to the Treasury,
have assaiied Gov. Morehead for not max
1g the repairs contemplated when the
$1,000 we're appropriated. They have as
serted IN their papers and in private, that
ho did not put new roof on the house,
and ,ha. is the reason he expended but
$1,000 of the $4,000. They said that the
rcoI was rotten, aud leaked at every joint,
aad that The building was suffering for want
q lepair in this particular.
Oac Of the party, we learn, made this
charge 10 Gov. Morehcad at Shepherds on
friday last, and the Governor, armed al all
POINTS, made simple statement of facts
Which left no room for cavil. He OK
PANIED, that owing 10 defect in the orig
ini construction of the house, tho roof
mad settled, which caused the leaks. ln-
aoad of taking of the roof, which was
PERFECTLY sound, and putting on new one,

nc leak;;--the settling of the roof. This
~ ELECTED by constructing some pillars,

,as way, by an expenditure of 5000, he
naa made the roof perfectly tight lit did
ooa leak drop, and being perfectly sound,
,aere was not the slightest reason for put
uug on new one. So i,appears the Gov

1t might have been permitted to pass for
what i; was worih-as the exception to the
general rule--if he had not INDUCED in an
lnsinuation that the Wings had distributed
the Fund among themselves. We GER
tainly never heard of any party rieip of
this subject before. But the insinuaton
tempted us to look into the subject, and
we now give the result Of our discoveries.
We find that there were about 270 re-

politics, and 85 women, &c. and persons
who, having removed or died, were of un-
