IMPROVEMENT OF PROPERTY BY RAILROADS.
The Railroad Recorder, published in Cincinnati
states that carefully examining the valuation of
property in large number of counties in Ohio, it
double the increase in those having railroads;
thus proving that large amount of the in

THE NORTH CAROLINA FISHERIES The N.
c. fisheries promise to be better this season than
they have been for years correspondent of the
Petersburg Express writing from Murfreesboro',
says:
''From the prices that fishermen were offered
last week at Gates court one would think that
they anticipated good springs work. From s25
to $50 per month was about the range. One of
the propretors of the Albemarle steamers told me
few days since that the steamers were so laden
down with shad taken from the Sound that they
were unable to take bale of cotton on board"

THE NATIONAL CONVENTiON--Thei ndca-
mocratc party, to be held in Charleston on the
23d of A pr will be one of the largest assemblies
of the kind ever held. The Hotel-keepers are
making extensive arrangements to accommodate
the visitors and it appears that said visitors will
have pay at the rates of S. per day. Four years
ago. when the Convention was held at Cincinnati,
there was general complaint against the people of
that city for exorbitant charges and fear there
will be the same cause of complaint at Charleston.
For the credit of n southern cty-one for which
all southerners feel an nterest-we hope that such
may not be the case. Let her citizens strive to
make arrangements to avoid any just grounds for
censure.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
papers state that every section OF the country is
complaining of the threatened extortions. Fifty
dollars per day will be charged for the of par
lors aud everything else in proportion. The Ma
tional Committee agreed to pay $3.50 per day for
the use ola public hall.
The talk about moving the Convention is all
moonshne. 1t will not be done.
The Convention will vote by States each State
casting many votes in the Electoral College;
but the Convention will be composed of twice as
many delegates as voters. Classified into free and
slave States, the former will send 500 against 24O
from the latter Besides these, the members of
the National Democratic Executive Committee
have seats. They are thirty three in number.
1t is understood that the Convention will assemble
in the spacious hall of the Mechanics Institute,
on Meeting near Queen street

ES~ The Wilmington Herald is mistaken in its asser
ton that the Charleston Mercury is the organ of the
democratic party of South Carolina. Mr. Miles, the
representative in Congress from Charleston long
acknowledged that the Mercury not considered the
organ of the democratic party though he said he
Mercury man. For number of years the Charleston
Mercury has been denouncing the democratic party
generally because it would act according to its the
Mercury dsunion notions. Yet the opposition papers
in this State continue quote against the democratic
party We suggest to respected contemporary that
SUCH course is exactly fair.

Bsg-We hardly think it is right for our oppon-

Register says that our platform proposes to tax
equally all interests and classes of property ETC.
The platform proposes so to adjust taxation as to
bear as equally practicable within the limits of
the Constitution, upon the various interests and
classes of property in all sections ofthe State. We
do not think that any unbending uniform rate
would bear equally. AS in adjusting national
tariff upon imports, in levying State taxes, some
classes of property will bear easily rate which
could not be borne by other classes IFilmington
