City Assessments and the Assessment Law.

We are informed by D. G. Gaskill
Esq, our city assessor. that the amount
Of personal property assessed in this
city, will reach the sum of $3.50, 900
Last year the amount of personal prop.
erty assessed was only $ll9,585., max
ing an excess of personal property as
sessed this year over last, of over $780,
600.
Whatever opinions may be entertain
ed in respect to the merits Of the new as
sessment law, it is evident that many re-
al estate owners, both in the city and
country, have been under a misappre-
hension as to its effect on real estate.
The laboring classes in this city, who
are only in moderate circumstances, pos
sessing homesteads, will find the bur-
dens Of taxation lessened full one half by
the new assessment law. The effect
on the mass of real estate owners in the
country, will be a reduction of their tax
es. The amount Of personal property
subject to taxation, will be treble that
Of last year. Some Of our farming pop
ulation seem to have entertained the
idea, that the new assessment law. was
gotten up for the benefit of cities; its OPP
Grafton will be, we think, to increase
taxation in the cities, and lessen them in
the country towns. The increase of per-
sonal property assessments will be the
same very nearly in other cities, as in
this. We take the following from the
Madison Journal of August 5th:-
"The assessment so far completed in
the city Of Madison, gives over six hun
dred thousand dollars Of personal prop
erty, against only about $4,000 last
year. This will reduce taxes on real es-
tate one-half as compared with last year.
Farmers and laborers, do You hear that?
when mere partizans talk to you about
the 'odious assessment law of last win
ter, just point to them the fact that it
will reduce the taxes on yourhomesteads
and farms, full one half"
We have never attempted to Justify
the new assessment law; it is manitestly
imperfect in some of its provisions. But
that its effect will be to tax therich more,
and the poor less, will be seen, when the
tax list makes its appearance next win
ter. There is no kind of legislation so
as the framing of an assess
ment law, which shall properly equalize
taxation; so that its burthens shall fall
where they justly belong. An equitable
system of taxation is a matter in which
all are interested, and the effort which
some are seeking to make, to turn the as
sessment law into political question, is
absurd and ridiculous. To suppose that
any political party, desires an assess
ment law on any other than fair basis,
is the height of folly.

The ARMY WoRM.-The army worm
has been the terror to agricultmalists in
some of the older States in past years,
but we believe its presence in this State
has been comparatively recent. Our at
tention was called few days since, to q
field Of oats, of twelve acres, on the farm
of Mr.. j.. Fox, in the town of Somers
which had been entirely stripped by the
army worm within few days. In an
other field of oats belonging to Mr.. Fox
the worm commenced the work of de
struction little later, but with such ra
pidity as to compete with man era
ding in the feld--the worms cut the
oats about as fast as the GRADER.

SHOCKING HOMICIDE IN MISSISSIPPI.
The Choctaw (MississippD Herald
gives an account Of terrible homicide
that occurred last week in that vicinity.
1t appears that Mr.. A. V. Brown had
killed man by the name of James Pick
ems, installing him for his brother, John
son Pickens, against whom he had a
grudge, and whose life he sought to
take. Brown fled after the murder, but
subsequently came back and gave him
self up and was bailed. Last week,
while Brown was with his lawyer, John
son Pickens came to the house, and as
soon as Brown saw the approach of
Pickens, he became agitated and fled.
Pickens pursued him and shot him with
a double-barreled shot gun, inficting a
mortal wound in his back, and he fell.
Mr.. Pickens then went to where Mr.. B.
had fallen, took BIS pistol and knife,
shot him four times with his own pistol,
and with Mr.. BIS own knife cut his
throat, stabbed him in the breast four
teen times, and left the knife in his
breast. Pickens gave himself up, and
was acquitted.
