Hoes IN PosEY CONFECTIONERY
ent at Poseyville informs us. that the num-
Der of hogs in that vicinity for slaughter
this season, win not be more than one third
the number killed last year, and the falling
off in the crop in the county will be in that
proportion. Mr.. j. L. Walters, of Posey-
vile, who is the largest packer in that vicin-
ity, killed $50 hogs last week that aver
aged 22o pounds. Mr. John Pullam, sue
cessful farmer in that neighborhood had
twelve hogs that averaged 303 pounds, and
Mr.. George F. Endicott, another neighbor
raised thirty four hogs the average weight
of which was 270 pounds. This indicates
good feeding on a short corn crop. 1t is es-
timated that the amount of pork in Gibson
and Posey, this year will not amount to one
half the quantity killed in the same coun-
ties last year.

Legislative Proceedings.

In the Senate, the bill to punish the is
sue of shinplasters as money, was debated,
and bill was introduced to enable the
holders of unauthorized paper currency to
institute proceedings for the recovery of
damages. During the debate two of the
members declared their readiness to vote for
the repeal of the State Bank charter when
it came up. Ge
A bill was read second time and refer
red, which takes the power of the appoint
ment of Swamp Land Commissioners from
the Government and gives it to the County
Commissioners, and makes the Commission
ers directly responsible for the expenditures
of the swamp lands. 1t prevents the pro-
ceeds of the sales of these lands from being
made a corruption fund, and compels a
proper expenditure of the same.

Election of state Officers.

1t is reported from Indianapolis that the
Legislature will, this week, proceed to elect
all the officers who hold places by choice of
the Legislature, including two United States
Senators. 1t is stated that the Republican
candidates have been agreed upon in caucus;
there names have not yet been disclosed. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Harper, the defeated
candidate for State Treasurer, has been Sc
lected by his party for Canal Trustee. The
place is to be given to him as sinecure to
remunerate him for his expenditures and la
bors in the recent canvas He is to be taken
to nurse by his party as one of the wounded,
in imitation of President BuchaHan's policy
towards his unfortunate adherents. Mr..
Harper resides in region remote ffom the
canal, where he, and the people about him,
cannot have any local or personal interests
to stimulate him to an exertion to reform
the accumulated abuses and habitual indo-
lence, which is destroying this important
public work. He has no especial quali6ca-
tons for the trust; he is unacquainted with
the business of the canal and its present con-
ditio6, and is lacking in the local knowledge
and wants of thepeople along the line, which
are necessary to qualify the States Trustee
to discharge his duty. His election will re-
suit in a virtual abandonment of the South
ern section of the canal. As the revenues
of the canal have declined below the expens-
es of maintaining it, the amounts received
from the lands and tolls will hereafter be
expended on that portion which needs the
least repairs, and yields the largest revenue
this will be, of course, the Northern sec
TONS 1t is now the avowed policy of the
Trustees, holding their appointments from
the bondholders, to appropriate the proceeds
of the lands on the Southern sections, to the
maintenance of the Northern canal, while
the former is to be abandoned. If the South
has not an efficient, energetic representative
in the board, to insist upon its rights, it will
see the land given to build and support its
own section, taken from it and appropriated
for the benefit of communities in which
Messrs. Butler and Bowling have an interest.

The Appraisement Bill.

We are indebted to Mr.. Stinson for copy
of the Appraisement Bill which has passed
both the Senate and the House of Repre-
sentatives, and waits only the Governors
approval to become a law. Itproyides that
an appraiser shall be appointed in each
county by the Board of Commissioners to
appraise real estate, to serve for the term of
FIVE years, or until the October election in
1863, when an appraiser shall be elected for
each county by the people, who shall, on
the succeeding first day of January, proceed
to discharge his duties. The appraiser APP
pointed by the Commissioners or elected
by the people, must qualify himself by
giving bond, and taking his official oath
within ten days after his appointment or
election, or his Office shall be considered va
can't Within ten days after his appoint
ment by the commissioners, he must pro-
coed to appraise all the real estate in the
country upon actual view, and affix thereto
Just value, such as he would appraise it,
in payment of a just debt from a solvent
debtor, taking into view all the circum-
stances that may affect its value. He shall
call upon every resident for a list of his
lands, which shall contain a minute descrip-
ton of its quantity, location and bounda-
ries. All persons refusing to give in a list
shall be subject to a penalty of fifty per
cent to be added to the amount of his taxes.
The appraiser shall, at the time of making
the appraisement and taking the list requir-
ed by the preceding section of this act, in
form the owner or owners, his, her, or their
agent or representative, if residing within
the county, or shall leave memorandum
Containing description and value of each
tract, lot, or parcel of laHd), at his, her, or
their place of residence, containing the
amount at which his, her, or their real estate
has been appraised respectively, and of the
time when the board of equalization of the
county will meet for the purpose of hearing
and determining grievances, and to equalize
taxes within the same.
The appraiser is to be allowed two dollars
per day for the time employed, and the ap-
praisement made by him and revised by the
board of county commissioners is to consti-
tute the basis for taxation for the ensuing
FIVE years. There appears to be no provis-
ion for equalizing the valuation of property
in Congressional districts, and throughout
the State, by boards of Revision.
The appraiser is constituted the only
judge of property, with an appeal to the
Board of Equalization. The people are not
asked to afix value to their estates, but to
give a correct and minute description OF
them. The act was passed by almostunani-
nous votes in both branches of the Legisla-
ture As the first assessment will fix the
basis of taxation for five years, it will be q
matter of deep concern to the tax payers
that it be fairly and accurately made. The
act has an emergency clause, and will &c
into effect ON its approval by the Governor
and publication in the newspapers.

The Canal Trustee.
nays 3

In our structures upon the administration
of the affairs of the canal, we have spoken
of the Trustees as board and it is but Justice
to the State Trustee, DIR. Barton, to except
him, in part, at least, from the general CEN
sure. He has been active and accomplished
more for the Southern Division than has been
done before. He was unacquaiuted with
his duties and the men with whom he was
to be associated when elected eighteen
months ago; he has now become familiar
with both, and is better qualified to dis
charge his duties efficiently, in the fulfill
ment of which he has not lacked good will
nor been remiss in his exertions. If no
one more acceptable to the people of South
ern Indiana can be found, the Representa-
tives of this section of the State, regardless
of political preferences, should unite in the
vote for Barton. He has not been our choice,
yet we are sure he will never consent to an
abandonment of the Southern part of the ca
nal, and the appropriations of its lands to the
Northern Division. He will see that the
South has its equal share in the appropria-
tions and attentions from the Board, and he
will continue to exert himself, as heretofore,
to relieve the work from the drones who
have fattened on its resources and evince a
determination to feed upon them as long
as dollar can be got from the lands or tolls.

FRAUD UPON THE REvENUE.-John Lloyd,
an importing merchant at Providence, Rhode
Island, was arrested in New York, on Fri
day, charged with having defrauded the re-
venue of fifty thousand dollars, by import
ing goods at New York at an undervalua-
ton, and imprisoned in default of $4,000
bail.

A TERRIBLE AcoIDENT.-On the eth inst,
at Charlestown, in this State, Miss Emma
Bower, an intelligent and esteemed young

loaded with heavy saw log, and when
near it, her horse became frightened and
threw her under the wagon. One Of the
wheels passed over her neck, breaking it,
and killing her instantly. -ras

The President and Secretary Cobb at
Issue.
Col. Forney in letter from Washington

says:
The first thing that will arrest the atten-
ton of Pennsylvanians is the marked differ
ence between the President of the United
States and the Secretary of the Treasury on
the proper mode of raising revenue sufficient
to conduct the Government. The President
boldly re-asserts his well-known opinions in
favor of specific and against ad valorem du-
tics; declares the first to be essential to the
protection of certain articles of domestic
production, and charges the latter, in strong
terms, as the leading cause of frauds in the
revenue. He almost directly attacks tho
tariff of 1857, as one under which our great
interests cannot be adequately protected.
On the other hand, the Secretary of the
Treasury denies, if he does answer, these
important propositions of his Chief. He ar
CUES against home valuations, and in favor
of ad valorems tries to make out case
against the manufacturers, and places himself
in direct antagonism to the statement of the
President, that 81 the present system the
tariff of 1857 is sliding scale to his the
manufacturers disadvantage" To this the
Secretary replies in at least two parts of his
report; in one, where he says that he has
"insuperable objections to "the repeal of
the tariff of 1857" and in the other, in
which he proposes only such changes in
that tariff as will recognize the true prin-
cipIes governing the imposition of duties for
revenue which, in his opinion, are a rig
id adherence to the ad valorem system, and
no less rigid resistance of the plan pro-
posed by the President.
| believe this is the first time that any
such difference has ever taken place on so
important question, between the President
and his Chancellor of the Exchequer, with
out producing rupture at once.
