In the construction of this table, when tho
merations and valuations not given from oEoiaI
State returns it is assumed that the population onS
property OF the country have increased in the sama
ratio since the general census of 1850 in which thU
increased during the decennial period from 1870 to
1850 The increase has, without doubt, been nronor
tonably greater.
In some States the latest official valuations hava
been given These are of various dates, and are, il
is believed, much TOO low. The valuation for Mas.
sachusetts is for the year 1850; for MARYLAND and
Michigan, for 1853; for Connecticut New York and
Missouri, for 1854; and for other States, for 1855
With respect to some of The States the official VAL
uaton Is so very low, that it has been deemed me-
cessary 10 add 10 it considerably, in order to reure
sent fairly the true valuation of the properly in those
States. Thus, to Pennsylvania $500, 900 900 have
been added; TO Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri
500, 600, 900 each.

The official valuation of the property in The Terri.

The State valuations of property are for assessment

Supposng the whole population of the United
Stat s to be 27,0OO,000, then, taking the State Of
Maine as a criterion with respect to the value Of
property, the amount for all the States and Terrific
RES Will be, IN round numbers, about S. 100 0
Taking the State of New York as a criterion the
amount will be, in round numbers, about $l06ll,-
100000
Taking the State of kentucky, then il will be
about $4,000, 100000,
Taking the State of illinois it will be about ST.,
100000, 900
Taking the State of Arkansas, it will be about &c.
750,OOO0OO.
Taking the State of Georgia, it will be about S4'
43O 900 900.
Taking the two extremes, the maximum and the
minimum, Georgia and Maine united, it will be
about $l0000,0 100000.
Taking Ohio and Kentucky, which will make, pei
a a To khno wilt
100000.
Taking these seven States as a criterion. the
amount will be about SO ,233 900 900. This is too
low, however, for the official valuation is too low IN
them all, unless it be Georgia.
The 81, 500, 100000 added for under valuations O'
property not valued and for the increase in value
since 1850, is not an excessive allowance.
