Result OF the Re-Assessmont.

The results of the re.assessments otthe
lands Of the Commonwealth has now bcen
ascertained and it scatters to the winds
the hackneyed reproaches Of decay and
dilapidation with which Northern Adolf.
tionism and unworthy spirit OF iisparage.
ment in the ultra South, have been in the
habit of assailing Virginia. s..
The assessment of 1850 made the ag>
gregate Value ofthe real estate ofYirgin.
ia 1874. $50, 226, The assessment Of
1856 makes this value 1878. AGA. o95; and
shows an increase OF $98. 743. 869. This
last assessment has been made too. under
the influence of double taxes. when a
combination of circumstances conspired
to induce low valuation as possible.
We know single instance where farm
was assessed under the last assessment at
$25 the acre; and was sold within three
months afterwards at $3.50 the acre. The
tendency, in 1850 was to assess at full
market values. The tendency in 1856 has
been TO assess at the very lowest valu-
alton, and we verify believe the real
estate Of Virginia to be worth nearer
$3.50, 600. 900 than 1915. 100000.
Butthe official figures show $373. 5oo,.
oOO, and a gain OF $98, 100000 in six
years; the greater portion of the increase
being due to the new railroads Of the State.
1t is greatly to be regretted that this
Springs campaign will arrest the progress
OF the incomplete works of Virginia for
several years. The clsmor Of the oppo-

Letter from Utah Territory. ----Late
Mormon Outnages.

Mormon OufhaSes.
A correspondent OF the New York
Times, writing Salt Lake City under date
Of March 9th, details the recent outrnges
at that city, where band OF armed Dan
lies entered the United States court room
while the court was IN session and by
threats of personal violence compelled
Judge Stiles to adjourn the court, sine
die. The Judge. previous to submitting.
appealed 10 Brigham Young for protec.
ton. but that functionary replied that he
would not interfere. but let the boys
have theirsown way, forAthe court had all
ready given him too much. trouble. The
correspondent says: aaai 81
All the members of the bar are Nor
mons except Mr.; David n. Burr, United
States surveyor general s. Williams
and DR.. Hurt. an officer of the United
States Indian Department IL is contend
ed by the Mormons that the United States
court has no cognizance of !any but United
States cases, and that ali offences COM
mitted in the Territory and all territorial
suits must be tried before the territorial
courts and by the territorial laws. Start
ing upon this pretext. while the courtwas
in progress on the 12th .ult., the Mormon
members 3of, the bar and others of the
DANTE band inveighled Judge Stiles into a
private room, locked the door, barred the
windows, and then with reyolyers at his
head and knives at his throat. forced him
to promise to uphold them in whatever
they did and to ' sustain the laws OF
Utah !" This overpowered, threatened
and inundated Judge Stiles yielded. dis
missed the jury and adjourned the court.
The writer goes on to state that the
Mormons then informed the 81. s. Mar
shall that his services were no longer re-
,quired, as they had marshal of their
own. On the 18th Judge Stiles again
opened the court for territorial business.
when Mormon lawyer commenced y is
rade of abuse against the court and
Messrs. Williams and Burr. When she
latter got up to reply the territorial mar
shall ordered them premptorially &c, stop {;
and Immediately the whole audience
sprang to their feet. and the DANTE muir
derers. who filed the court. threw of
their coats, brandished their knives and
revolyers, aud created great confusion
that the judge was obliged TO adjourn
the court at once. Hlil
The next morning. which was satur-
day, the court opened amid iatense e1.
element. The whole Mormon populace
were armed. and had been inaamed to
such q degree by the incendisry speeches
of Ferguson. Stout and others. that the
least pretence would have been ayailed of
to massacre every Gentle in the place
The names of Messrs. Burr and Williams
were stricken from the list OF attorneys.
and the court Immediately adjourned sine
die. Thus closed the last term Of the
United States court that can ever be held
in this territory until the government es.
tablishes its supremacy By vigorous ex'
ertion of physical force.

For the Register.
Consistency thon art a Jewel.

ait u o0"ole
Think of it, and look at it you Know
Nothings. Two years ago the loyal mem>
bers of the dark lantern party were so
Americanized in their feelings and pro-
clivities that none but Americans should
rule America, or be elected to any post OF
honon or profit. The idea that a for
eigner should hold Office in this country
was horrible, shocking to their nerves,
and an insult to their national pride.
Now, that we have to elect a clerk OF
our County Court. it is proposed by many
of these midnight gentry, that William
Roy. Esq. is suitable person. and should
be elected. Rumor says he is member of
that party and is a Canadian by birth
aud has only been nasuralized in this coun-
ty within few years. II this is true. they
must have changed their views, or intend
ed to make him an exception to the gener-
al rule--either augurs we'll for them.
Query:
If he has been naturalised. would it
not be advisable that he should be civilized
before he is installed into office .?

A FAMINE PAN1o.-From various parts
OF the country reports are received OF a
great scarcity of grain. but the Chicago
Democrat of the 9Th ult., journal pub
lished at the great grain depot of the
West. intimates that the talk about a
scarcity of grain is mere device to raise
the price. The transactions in bread
stufs are making in that city. The day
previous an order for the purchase OF goo,
600 bushels OF corn was received from a
Boston dealer while on the other hand
heavy purchases of -four and wheat are
being made for st. Louis and tho south.
western markets. The whole of the wheat.
-four and corn sold on the 30th ult.. would
require about $780, 900 to purchase. ~

WEALTH IN BosroN.-The Boston tax
for 1857, just published, shows about s.
874 names taxed over $4,000. The
greatest proportion of these are taxed on
several times $4,000. No religious soci.
ely in Boston has large amount of pro-
perty except the Old South, which pays
tax on 1897, 900. We observe pastors
that pay severally taxes on property
amounting to $4,000, S23, 900, SAL
600. $46.ooo and $4,000. OF those
who have retired from the University,
one is taxed for $4,000. So that the
Boston clergy. as whole are pretty we'll

Galilee. and are hardly representatives OF

A MAN OF THE OLDEN T1ME.-Among

esteem OF thousands OF the early settlers,
is Judge Joseph Williams, of Iowa, now
stopping at Browns Hotel. The Judges

many summers, but he seems as fresh

ticular friend and comrade of earlier
years. Judge Black (now the Attorney
