The Assessment.

A paragraph under this head in the Jour
nal the other day, stated that the returns in
the appraisers Office, so far as made up, in
dictate that the present assessment would
show an increase OF IS to 100 per cent. in
the value Of the property of the county over
the appraiSement of 1851, adding doubt
less well deserved compliment to Mr.. Har-
din for the thorough manner in which
he is performing the arduousl duties of his
Office. ----
Mr. Harden, | am satisfied, is honestly
endeayoring to make fair and conscien-
tious appraisement, but there is reason to
fear that he has fallen into the same grave
error that was made, so much to our preju-
dice, by the appraisers of 1851. They
seemed ambitious, by putting up the prop
erty to the highest figure, to make the wealth
of Vanderburgh county, and of Evansville,
especially, compare favorably with the rest
of the State, while assessors elsewhere, bet
ter understanding the true interests of their
communities, acted upon directly contrary
principle; and the consequence has been,
as is notorious, that for eight years we lave
been paying much more than our pro rata
of taxes, for the support of the State Gov
ernment and of common schools outside of
our own county. This has worked much
IN the de.riment of our city
Now I have examined several lists of the
present assessment of property in the city and
in Pigeon township, and | know that the
valuations are in many instances much too
high under the law, if the law, as under
stand, requires the fair cash value to be
fixed. Those lists of property ] have seen,
with the value of which am acquainted
from recent sales and otherwise, are almost
invariably appraised at about the price the
owners are able, occasionally, under the
most favorable circumstances, to sell them
for at private sale, on credit; while, when
sold at auction for cash, they have not, at
any time, brought moro than two-thirds OF
the appraisement This is certainly wrong
principle of appraisement. The Intention
OF the law is that property shall be valued
at what it will command, in cash, to-day,
and not at what it may be held at By the
owner, or supposed to be worth, or may pos
sibly be sold for, or dickered off at, oncredt
hope there will be general scrutiny of
assessment lists, and if am found TO be
right in the above surmise as to the prin-
been made, that there will be united effort
to procure it to be reformed by the county
board, and that we may thus avoid repeti-
ton of the evils we have been suffering for
the last eight years. a TAXPAYER.

Ma. The public squares OF Philadelphia,
as is known to visitors to that beautiful city,
are full of squirrels, and the graceful crea-
lures climb the trees or skip over the grass
as in their native wildwood-fearless and
free. They are, to our view, one of the
greatest attractions of those pleasant spots,
but it is proposed by some of the vandals of
the Council to remove them. The Ledger
says:
1t is alleged that these little animals cost
the city great deal of money, in consc-
quence of the number of trees destroyed by
their barking prOpenSities.. Also that it
costs great deal to buy nuts for Them and
while they please the children with their
gambols, the feathered songsters, who would
delight both old and young with strains of
natures music, are entirely driven from the
squares. The committee, it is said, will at
their next meeting, if not sooner, discuss
the question of " Squirrels VS.. Birds +" with
all the gravity and wisdom such momen-
tous subject is worthy of. 1t has been ru-
mored that mass meeting of tue squirrel
tribe viii be held to denounce this attempt
to encroach upon their ancient rights, or
drive them from their nests and homes.
