THE TAX LEvY.-From the table laid before
The Aldermen on Monday night, IL appears that
the valuation of personal and real property in
thi. city, for the present year, is 1882,
which is about seven and a half millions over the
valuation Of 1856. The increase, strange TO say,
il wholly in the value Of real property; accord
ing to the published tables, the personal proper
ty has actually declined four millions and half
since last year. How IL comes about in great
city like this, which is manifestly steadily in
creasing in trade prosperity and afIluence, that
the valuation of personal property can decline, we
cannot we'll understand: no doubt there is good

Mr.. THACKERAY's DEFEAT.-The last steamer
brought us the news that Mr. Thackeray's Par
liamentary aspirations had been defeated, aud
that bis opponent had been returned for Oxford
by small majority. We perceive that several
Of our contemporaries have discharged eloquent
articles upon this subject, on the ground that Mr.
Thackeray was defeated because he was lite
rary man. This is all a mistake. Mr.. Cardwell
who was preferred by the electors of Oxford to
the author Of " Pendennis, has previously sat in
Parliament for that city. He was known as one
of the best working members Of the House.
thoroughly acquainted with the practical details Of
legislation, and eminently popular. Mr.. Thacke-
ray is exceedingly unpopular even among his
own class, and it was represented during the
canvass tha he favored the abolition of the
Sabbath. The truth Of the matter Is that Mr.
Thackeray favored the opening of the picture
galleries and British Museum on the Sabbath.
aud the old fogies Of Oxford thought him dan
gerous man. His speeches were likewise very in
judicious, and altogether II was surprising that
be made so good fight. He was defeated, not
because be was on author; but, not withstandng
that fact, literary men rarely make successful
dt6us at st. Stephens. Disraeli is leader of
the opposition, and one of the few orators that
can command the ear Of the House, bat be
failed as Chancellor Of the Exchequer. Bulwer
made terrible break down at the first, and even
now makesno great figure in the House. The very
greatest boon to an author is success as an
utbor. If the world rewards him by reading
his books, he may look down upon Kings, Par
liaments, Lords, Commons Prime Ministers,
stars garters and all the machinery Of govern
ment. The press and the people keep ii in order,
and can destroy it at any moment Let Mr..
Thackeray and other aspiring laeratur, remem-
Der the good old maxim, ne swar ultra crepidam.

reason for II, Other than any supposed decline in
the amount actually possessed in personal pro-
pertJ.
The increase Of tasa'io is about ten per cent
ofthe increase of taxable property; or to give the
exact figures, the increase of property is to the
increase of taxes as 81, 4s5 972 are to s64O,34l
Consequently, the tax levy this year must be
something like SIS on the thousand pleasant
prospect for rate payers. We thought II was
awful, in 1853, when We had to pay SIP in the
thousand; what will our people say this year to
SIS?
If this money procured for US good govern
ment if our police was efficient, our streets
cleared and kept in order, our laws carried out,
and our rowdies kept down, one might reconcile
it to ones conscience to pay this money; but
really to pay SIS for no government no cleanli-
ness, no law, no order, nothing that is worth pay
ing for, is rather trying to peoples feelings.

HON. II. p. RuCKLANp.

AT the Republican meeting at the Court
House few weeks since held for the pur-
posc of appointing delegates to the State
and Senatorial Conventions, among others,
the following resolution was unanimously
passed:
ResOlred That this meeting endorse and approve the
policy Of Hon. r. Buckland member Of the Sen
ate of 0hio that in opinion the independence ability
and strict integrity he has displayed in the discharge of
his duties prove him worthy Of the continued confidence
Of the people of this district"
We know that tho great mass of the
people of Sandusky county are prepared to
say that every word of the above is true,
and that they will endorse it at the polls
next October. We know that during the
whole time Mr.. B. was in the Ohio Senate,
every intelligent, reading, business man
watched his conduct and action with admi-
ration and pride, and always pointed to his
course with delight, as they said Mr. Buck
LAND is citizen of Sandusky county. Even
the Messenger during tic last few weeks
could not stoop so low as to speak disrespect-
fully of him; for Botefdr was away, and de-
cent man was in his place, but now truth and
dccency are not thought Of, for Botefur has
returned, and true to nature tho Messenge,
has again commenced its abuses. But R. P
BUcKLAND, is too well known in Sandusky
county and through tho whole State, fol-
any thing which the unprincipled writer in
the Messenger can do or say to injure him.
The voters of this county will have an op-
portunity Of seeing Mr.. B. and listening To
him bcfote election day: AS ono Of the
menbcfs Of the Senate committee of the
last Legislature, TO investigate the loeofoco
frauds of the few years past, Mr.. B: showed
the ability and determination to bring The
whole of their iniquity to light, SHOW

Nothing But False statements.

1t is indeed surprising that party feelings
will, lead men to assert, rc-assert, and then
swear 10 the falsehood SO often printed by
the locoSoco press Of Ohio, that Governor,
Chase is in favor Of placing the negro in
all respects, upon the same level with white
men. But it IS utterly untrue that Coy.
Chase over declared that negroes black as
the aco of spades, werc better qualified 10
vote than nine-tenths Of the white citizens. y
There are no such sentiments expressed OF
entertained by the Republican party Of
Ohio. II is also false that the Republican
party is in favor of negro suffrage. It is
not contained in our platform, and a reso-
luton, offered in tho Legislature last win
Ter, BY Mr.. Brown, to strike out the word
white from the Constitution, did not rsceive
single vois. Tho only hope Of this coup-
teneit democracy is to deceive the voters
Of the State in regard TO the true issue now
before them, by crying ''negro suffrage and
"nsgro equslity." 1t will avail them
nothing. 49,.

REsIexATIoN OF JUDGE CURTIS. The
report of tho resignation by Judge Curtis Of
his seat on the bonch Of the United States
Court is confirmed He rotires at a good
time for himself; and VIC learn from The
Boston Courier that it is exclusively pri-
vate and not at all public or political reasons
that have led to his resignation. The cloud
in which he had involved himself BY the
circumstances under which he accepted Of
fee, generally understood to have been Civ
en- to him as d reward for his zeal for the
Fugitive Save Law, has been to consider
ablc degree dissipated by the stand which
he took against slaveholding aggrcssicns in
his opinion in tho Dred Scott case.
Mr.. Buchanan will no doubt appoint as
liissuccessor some unhcsitating Dough Face,
perhaps Caleb Gushing, though he is a man
Of too much talent to be very acceptable to
the shareholders. They greatly prefer your
small nien--mcn Of the Pierce and Buchan-
an stamp-and such ono probably We
shall have. Judge Mclean is old; and il
would not be surprising if Mr. Buchanan's
administration should be signalized by q
Supreme Court of tho United States made
up exclusively by shareholders and Dough
Faces.

The National Tair--Thc sReservc' Ahead.
The horse, cattle, swine and sheep dis
play was the, feature of the third day of the
Fair of tho National Agricultural Society
at Louisville, and the enterprising exhibitors
from the Western Reserve carried off their
| full share of the premiums, Lorain standing
foremost of the Counties. The Hercfords
of Mr.. Aston and Mr.. Humphreys of Lo-
rain, and Mr.. Sotham, of New York, took
the elegant prizes for the best specimens of
that breed. Mr.. Humphreys Prince of
Wales took the first for three year old bull;
and Mr.. Aston's Fair Boy the first for two
years and under three. Thos. Aston, Of
Lorain county, took the first premium for
Duchess, the bcst Hereford COW three years
old and over; and the first premium for
Beauty, one year and under two. Mr.. John
Humphreys, of Lorain, the first premium
for Prince Royal, two years old and under
three. Mr.. Sotham took several second
premiums, and the first for best herd of
Horefords, one bull and four cows.
Mr.. Aston, of Lorain, was also awarded
first premium on grade cows, and on Jersey
COWS, one year and under two.
The Ohio Valley is great for "hogs and
hominy," and yet Mcssrs E. d B. Bassett's
bore, Suffolk, of Milan, Ohio, took the first

IIOns W. NJ nuthtuNNs
As already announced, says tho Register,
this gentleman has been re-nomlnated by
the Republicans Of this District for The State
Senate. This expression of continued con-
fidencc on the part Of the constituency
whom he has so ably represented during the
past two years, was we'll meritld and worth
ily bestowed. Mr.. BucKLAED has been
earnest and consistent in his efforts to ex-
pose all manner Of schemes for robbing the
State, from the mammoth canal plumbers,
down TO tho State House, Penitentiary and
Asylum stealings. He has been fearless
in action, prompt and decided in the OK
preston of his opinions on all questions re-
lating to retrenchmcnt Of State expcndi-
lures, and to the detection and punishment
of frauds. He has, moreover, been true
and faithful representative Of the great ma
tional Republican doctrines, and is worthy
of confidence of every friend of freedom
Mr.. BUcnAND's speech in tho Conven'
ton, in response to his nomination, was q
frank and manly effort, without any attempt
at rhetorical establishment but concise and
clear in its statements, which were mainly
devoted to an exposition of the course o.
the late Legislature, and to an examination
of the present position of affairs in the
State.
Messrs. PARISH and SCHUYLER, whow
called upon for speeches after Mr. B. had
concluded, did themselves great honor, II
the manner Of their responses. They hear
tily and cordially endorsed the action of the
Convention, and bespoke an earnest ant
united effort throughout the District for the
election of the nominee. We doubt not
he will bo triumphantly elected to the sta
ton ho has so ably filled.
The Toledo Blade of the 4tll, says "Thc
Republican Convention for tho Senatorial
District composed of the counties of Huron
Erie, Sandusky and Ottowa, met at Clyde
yesterday, and on the fifth ballot nominated
r. P, BuckLAND, Esq, Of Fremont for re
election. The vote stood: BUcKLANp, 36
F. d. PARISH, of Sandu sky, 80, and N. P
SCHUYLER, of Norwalk, 2. We are graft
fed at this result, as it is an endorsement
of the firm and straight forward course pur
sued by Mr.. BUcKLAND in our last Stat,
Legislature, in exposing the corruptions o
State officers. Mr.. PARISH his principa
competitor, is a gentleman every way worth,
the confidence indicated by the handsome
vote given to him.
The Milan Free Press says, Mr.. Buck
LAND, being declared nominated, ''the par
ticular friends of tho other candidates cheer
fully bowed to the will of the majority, ant
seemed satisfied to be fairly and honorabl,
defeated. Mr.. BUcKLAND has shown him
Iself to be man of no ordinary capacity
and worthy of tho position he occupies
We like him.
"The Chairman sent committee of thre,
to inform Mr.. BucKLAND of his renomina
ton, and he Immediately appeared in th
Hall, returned thanks to tho Conventio
for the kindness which had been show
him, briefly reviewed his official career an
then took his seat amid much applause"

The LIAR BRANDED.-Henry B. Payne,
in his speech at Columbus, accepting the
Gubernatorial nomination, said to this eff
feet: "Chase and his Black Republican as
sociates have stolen the money from the
Treasury, and to throw suspicion upon the
Democrats, with portion of the stolen
money have hired Breslin to leave the coun-
try"
Such was the craven, lying charge of this
most craven, selfish, lying demagoguc. But
it was not left for the Republicans to put
the branding iron upon the liars forehead.
Tkomas Sparrow, Chairman Of the Demo
cratic Central Committee of Franklin Coun-
ty and Commissioner to investigate the
Treasury Frauds, says in his report now be-
fore the people:
