STATE TAx.-From table published
in the Madison Argus j; appears that
that the taxable property in tha State is
put down at $50, 700, 900, and the tax to
be raised 100000.
OF this amount Iowa County pays
$4,000; La Fayette, $500; Grant.
S12, 700, and Rirhland, S4,100.
The equalized valuation for these coun-
ties is as follows: Iowa. 81, 100000 );
La Fayette, So, 900,0 900; Grant, $780,
900, and Richland, $1,000, 900. There
, are twelve counties in the STATE whose
valuation exceeds, and forty whose valu-
alton is less than that of Iowa.
ES5 The election returns from Kan
sas are incomplete, bufiicient are known
to leave no doubt of the election of MAR
Gus j. PARRorr, Republican, to Congress,
and probably a majority in the Legislature
of the same stripe.
WHAT They DID IN OHIo.-The re-
cent investigation Of the Treasury of Ohio,
caused by the discovery of a large deficit
in the accounts of Breslin, the Democratic
Treasurer, shows that since that party
went into power in ISIS, they had
received from surplus revenue repaid by
the counties, and from Railroad loans re-
paid, the sum of 5750,0O0, and there
was cash in the Treasury TO the amount
| of S3l2 900. - Frauds, peculations, Jobs,
and wanton expenditures TO the amount
of $500 600 have already been discovered
in their accounts, besides the ''half a mil
! lion" which Breslin, the Democratic Urea
surer, made way with.

recently been adjusted, the authorized
