Increase Of 1852,

Increase Of 1852, 6E3 l5S.532
From the above table it will be seen that
the increase Of personal property brought on
the duplicate this yeas is l58,532. The in
crease for the year 1850 10 1852 was 7O,493.
The increase this year, therefore, over and
above the average increase by improvement
in value of this kind Of property, is Sc, ,039.
The State levy being fixed, this increase
enurcs to the benefit of real estate in the
county, by transferring the tax on this am t.
from X 10 the personal property, thereby
proving directly The falsity olihe statements
made against the law by wings in this coun-
ty, and also establishing beyond all cayil the
Justice OF law that places all,on an equals
ty--exempis the 5000 of the poor and rich
alike, and STILL eases The burdens heretofore
borne by real estate.
Ii should be remembered also that the in
crease ia this country is not derived from
bank or corporation stock brought on the du,
plicate by the provisions OF this law, as
there is very little, if any, owed in the
county. In Jefferson county, where there is
considerable Of that kind OF property, the
increase is "a quarter of a million. In Lick
irg over u HUNDRED THOUSAND, and SO on.
So that il is seyilent, thai instead OF the val
uylioa Of personal property in the State
falling short 4O,000,000, as stated by the
whig press, is more likely 70 be increased
by That amount. The surplus of revenue
thus raiscd going towards.paying State
,,eht fastened ON us by whig legislation.
The above figures we trust will be sufti-
cient answer 10 the question put lis In The
Republicl last week (waivingits discourtesy
in alluding to us in any way save that o.
our connection with our paper,) and com
plete rerntution of its statement that ths
Valuation would be reduced $4,000 1000 il

wouldbe increased accordingly. The figure

Attention has been drawn to the SINGULAR
fact, that no law exists here for the punishment
of any person who may purloIn, or muli'ate, OF
destroy the public archives, even for fraudulent
purposes. The President has recommended t.
Congress the passage of such law, in conse
qucnce Of the recent occurrence which he
relates in his Message.
The documents and records of the late Board
Of Mexican Commissioners were catalogued
sealed up, and deposited in the State Depart.
ment, by order Of the President, with view to
the protection oft!e good from spurious claims
that might be brought under he Mexican treaty
and which the Board had rejected, upon eyi
dence before them. A few days ago, one Of
these claimants, Dr.. VIM Baldwin distracted
some Of the documents that were interesting to
him. The President consulted the law officers
of the Government on the subject, and found
that il was not a penal offence.
Dr.. Baldwin obtained an award Of eipbtv
one Thousand ,llars from the late Boad. and
not content with that, alleges that injustice was
done him by the Board, and has, with MANY
others, appealed to Congress for an additional
allowance.
1t will, in the ordinary course Of legislation,
take Congress some months to mature and pa IS
law on the subject and, in the meantime. as
the claimants have found their way to the ar
chves of the Commissioners, they may abstract
the whole Of them. They will then be able to
make out any they have before the Sci ct
Committee Of the Senate, to which the conduct
of the late Board has been referred
The Criminal Court have still under consid
Grafton the motion Of the u S District Attor-

has been long detained, and has earnestly

whether the prosecution is entitled to the benefit
