BY the commissioners, which will effect, to
some extent. the aggregate in those town.
ships as shown above. Il will be seen that
the valuation in most of the townships has
faIleE short Of last year. The greatest diff
erence is in Greene. which shows q falling
of of S912, q9l. In that township she COM
missiohers added to the value OF horses, as
returned by the Assessor, SO per cent; TO
the value of sheep 40 per cent; to the value
of cattle 100 per cent; to the value Of hogs

these townships $6,4lO. In Freeport town
ship 10 percent was deducted from the val

and in Moore6eld 10 per cent. On the
same species Of property 10 percent was ad.
ded in y otingham; and 5 percent in Rum.
ley, which will decrease the aggregate val

moneys and credits nearly $4,000 less
The total decrease in the valuation Of per-
sonal property IN the county. compared with
last year, is S75, 976 dollars.
The above facts are gathered from the
abstracts in the Auditors oblee for the use
of which we sre under obligations to Mr..
Granfell.
We were told when know nothingism first
started, hat they intended to elect to office
none but the best men, and those that were
capable of filling the Offices 10 which they
we're elected. Out of the Is Assessors in
this county all were members of the order,
except those in German, Rumley and Arch.
er townships, SO we have understood. In
those three townships it will be seen tina,
there has been but a small falling OFF com.
pared with last year. But the greatest fall
ing odsas our neighborremarks. is in Green
township. There property was valued in
the real genuine Sam style. IL Greere
both Of the old parties had their candidates
for assessor nominated some days before
the election, while the followers OF Sam me
On the Saturday night or Sunday morning
previous to the election, and nominated the
chap who done mp the assessing SO beauti
fully IN that township. The way he done
il was after this fashion: He would 20 to thu
farmers houses and take in nearly every
thing that had notlife in it, and put it dqwr
for the City dollars exemption. Cows that
were worth Is and $50 he would value
them at six. II was in this manner tina
Green township was assessed. Whether 4
was ignorance or knayery or both, that eau
sed Mr.. Allison, the assessor, to make sucl
a bungling cut Of it, W leave the reader L
Judge.
And yet we are told that this new organ.
~ization intend to elect noue but the best mel
to office, and that they always do il. Now
whenever they make such an assertion a
gain. just ask them how they done in Greer
township.
In fact, out ofthe whole Ie know moth.
ing assessors in this county not one of then
was elected for his capabllity. but because
they were willing to do the most dirty worl
for the order. BY accident in two or three
townships, Freeport. Shortoreek and Wash.
ingtod townsh PSI they got pretty good
men for the office; but it was all accidental
In thoye townships where they had good
assessors. and were willing to lis. all 81
their property, they will have TO foot The
bill. But in Greene and some other town.
ships their taxes will be light in oompari
son with the others.
This is Sans first movement in ekctins
men to Office in this county, and every hon
est man in the county should wish to Coz
that it may be his laet.
