v.Chap,. we nnd among the property enumerated
not being subject to taxation, the following, in
q line by itself:
acknowledgements on land.
From the best information we can obtain the
revenue derived from the improvements amounts to
more than one half of the taxable real estate in
this city. The exemption alluded to above would
sweep away at one swoop this portion Of the reve-
nue.. five need what is now assessed, where
will il come fromp Evidently from an additional
tax on every mans lot, without regard to the int
provements. Will such a law lie acceptahle9-
We opine not. The rich man can derive laI &c
personal revenue from his extensive block Of
buildings and ray no more tax than the honest
poor man. who lives in his own Shanty aonss ide Of
this block. This certainly calls for amendment
How can we have another school house, unter this
exemption especially as the maximum tax is put
down to ono mill and a halfon h0aoilat'

THE NEW CODE.

Thar seems to be much diversity Of ofan'oh ;"
1A;a Mace in relation 70 the report Of the commit

h,a been printed. No rart oft has yet see"red'he
attention Of the press TO such an tha'tef-
s.,n;ns 70 the change in county "fhcers' Inc
change contemplated is radical. The present eo"h-
e. eommissioners end Probate courts are to be
sm,,samated end have one Judge preside over o''n
den,rtm.nts. This is to be called the County
Court. The Office Of Commissioners clerk Is 10
~ d;snensed with and the Clerk OF the district

III. salaries OF the Judge and Clerk are to be grad
u.ted by the amount of population in their respec'
tive counties, but neither is to receives n'Shef
salary than eight hundred dollars.
We did not intend TO enlist in this controversy.

,,issioners were appointed TO harmon'se ana rem

mendstions have doubtless been made, not are'-
trarily, but from desire and design TO meet the
wants of the people. We are therefore in favor Of

resuonsibili,y where it should be-on the shoul-
Aers OF the commissioners. II on fair tris' the
