Assessed VALUATIONS FOR 1S65.--Ihe Com
missioners of Taxes for this city, MessIs. Alien,
Purser and Woodruff, have just completed their
labors, and we arc able to report the assessed
valuation OF taxable property as follows:--
Real estate. .....s ~. 5.o,,-
Personal estice. .................. loo "o,,sL
Total. ...................... .S5s1,63i,bl2
The precise rate Of taxation cannot of course,
be positively determined just now, but in al,
probabilityit will amount to three per cent
atsxation in the aggregate of nearly nineteen
millions. With such sum at the disposal of
the municipal authorities one would suppose
that we should have city government OF the
most perfect kind, and yet so notorious is tho
corruption of our public officials That Tie people
have almost ceased to expect good govern
ment no mattcr how heavy tho taxation
may be.
1t will be remembered that the deciaion o.
the Supreme Court, in the case of the Bank OF
the Commonwealth. has lib Grated rom taxation
in this city scventy-iy millions OF dollars of COR
porate capital which, at the probable rate OF
taxation, deprives the Treasury Of about two
millions three hundred thousand dollars. This
is a subject, however, 70 which we may refer at
another time For the present it is enough TO
know that we have TO raise nearly nineteen
millions in taxes Oh the property Of the city
for tho curren. year.

The Enquirer says it can furnish good grounds
to show that the Gazefte's notions of the poor
whites of the South were mythology. 1t can
bring no such grounds from the Southern plant
We will give an extract from Mrs. Fanny
kemble Buffers description of this class, from
what she saw in Georgia. and from what she learn
ed of their character from their slaveholding
neighbors
"Thcy arc. suppose" she says, "the most de-
graded race of human beings claiming Anglo
Saxon origin, that can be found the face of the
earth-flthy, lazy, ignorant, brutal proud, penn-
less savages, without of the p0bler attributes
that have been found occasionally allied to the
vices of savage nature. They own no slaves, for
they are. almost without exception, abectly poor
they will not work. for that, they conceive.
would reduce them to an equality with the abhor-
red negroes: they squat and steal and starve on
the outskirts of this lowest of all civilized socie
ties, and their countenances bear witness to the
squalor of their condition and the utter degreda-
tion of their natures. .'-Jownai, p. LAG.
That is the class who, under the lead of the
slaveholding chiefs of the rebellion, are to
control the destinies Of this nation at the bal
lot-box. Most cordially do we endorse the
sentiment of the Soldiers Convention at
Charleston, that negro suffrage is the antidote
for that evil. Negroes are not only more 10y
al, but they are more intelligent and moral
than the mass of whites in the planting States
of the South.
And let us add that there are very many
colored men in the North and we have mum.
bers Of them in our own town, superior in the
qualifications of good citizenship to the mass
of Copperhcad voters of the MAHoNEy and
MASON persuasion.

SLAVERY EBBING OUT.-But few embers of
slavery are seen gimmering in the land.
Delaware and Kentucky are the only States
where slavery is now legalized. Missouri and
Maryland have amended their Constitutions
30 as to wipe out slavery. The four States
named are all that were excepted from the
Emancipation Proclamation.
In Delaware there were only eighteen hun
dred slaves at the commencement of the war
the last decennial census reports the slaves in
Kentucky at about two hundred thousand.
The probability is that this number has been
reduced full one-half. Delaware, too, cannot
have now one thousand slaves, and may be
called practically free.
kentucky clings to her idol She has
twice considered and rejected propositions
for amending he constitution. The subject
is again being discussed, with Gov. Bran.
lette, Geo. ID. Prentice, and other leading
men throwing their influence in favor of the
proposition. If such shall be the result in
kentucky, and Delaware shall follow in q
like action, then the necessity for the sNew
Constitutional amendment" may be super.
seded, as the remaining States are free by the
fate of war.
Thus the South will have plunged the fata
dagger to the heart of an institution it sought
TO preserve. The right to deal in slaves wa:
the supposed lost right the shareholders wen
in search of on the war path. four years
hunt have not enabled them to find it. 1t j.
''lost ball never to "turn up" again on thu
American continent. So let it be, for it takel
away the only element of discord in the coun
txb. and plants ON a more substantial basis fo
per1nanence and progress.

Canadian Annexation-Mexico


The Herald Toronto correspondent saws
the feeling of the Canadians if favor of an
nexation Of their provinces to this country is
gradually growing and strenthening, nowith-
standing some drawbacks with which it met
in the late commercial convention, at De-
troit =
1t is said that the contract formed by the
business activity on one side of the border and
the observance of it ON the other, is Just now
even more marked than at any former time
1t is believed that unless the provincial parlia.
ment does something at its next session, Civ.
ing promise of improvement to the Canadians
the annexation storm will break ont with great
fury.
The Times Mexico correspondent says
Gwinn is now in Texas or at Matamoras
swearing the downfall of the Emperor and o.
the empire. His first step in that direction
will be to take the oath of allegiance to the
United States government
Gen. Stone is also going from Mexico. HI
did not accomplish anything as far as l an
aware. He may thank his keeping company
with Gwinn for his want of success. Howev
er, in justice to the General, let me say tina,
of my own knowledge know that he still
loves the old flag and has always, while il
Mexico, abstained from political illusions.

hALEIGH, N. G., July 25.
The Raleigh Progress continues to denounce
the reckless use of the pardoning power in
North Carolina. This mistaken leniency 4
making the leading rebels of the State, who
are daily receiving pardons, still more defiant
and disloyal than before. Comprising the
public men of the State, they have all been
designated as delegates to the coming State
Convention, which body, it is known, they
will control. The negroes and Union men
are the special objects of their hatred, whose
protection depends entirely upon the enforce
ment of the confseation law, which disarms
the disloyal, and who will be beyond the
reach Of the federal authorities till the new
State government 10 inaugurated. 1t is un-
derstood that this element who sold State Sc
curities for upwards Of forty millions of dol
lars contracted since the rebellion for war
purposes, will make strong effort to have
the same assumed by not providing against it
IN the new constitution, but leaving it for fu-
ture legislation. Owing to the expected ex-
hibition of disloyai and vindictive arrogance,
the Union men are endeavoring to have
the call for State Convention delayed until
after Congress meets, which will save time as
well as great expense, as the proposed con-
stitution is destined to be repudiated by the
people. 1t is very apparent it will be of an
obnoxious character, judging from the mate
rial designated to compose that body.
Treacherous leaders, who have been par
doned through Gov. Holden's recommenda
ton, are now organizing in every county and
openly assert that their party is strong enough
to defeat Mr.. Holden or any other candidate
for Governor who fails to identify himself
with them.
Gov. Holden drafted call for Conven-
ton some time since, and sent it to President
johnson for his ratification. Since then the
opposition to an early Convention has as
sumed formidable proportions and is daily
gaining strength.

Shall il be the 18th or the 10th
Century.

The London Times sees in the results of
the overthrow of the rebellion new era of
national glory for the United States. True
our Union armies have carved the material
for fame and renown in the history of the fu
ture, but the leaders of the united Demo
cratic party will find it political necessity of
harmony between traitors and Copperheads
to consign all these grand victories and these
glorious battle-felds upon which the rebellion
was overthrown, and the South subjugated, to
the silence of oblivion, and such must be the
case should the party succeed in getting con-
troll of the Government And then this prog
nostication of the London Times will not be
realized:
The subiugation of the South is as much fat
accoD,pii the Declaration of Independence itself
and new chapter has thereby been opened in the
history of the United States Henceferward other
battles, sieges and capituatons wilftske the place
of Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown. Corn
wallis and Burgoyne will be dwarfed by Jackson
and Lee. and it will not surprise us if Lnconln
cupies pedestal Of equal hight with that of Wash
ington. IT, indeed the importance of occurrences
be determined bytheirscale theWar ofTndependence
hardly admits of comparisonwith that which has
just terminated The forces collected on either
side the distances traversed the lists Of killed and
wounded, and the ruin wrought in the former are
as nothing by the side of the records of the late
civil war.
The tales Of outrage and havoc inflicted by the
British troops which have horriied three genera
tions Of Americans are already being superseded
by more recent and vivid memories. and the hero
age of America will soon be transferred from ii q

TO noveIists will lay their plots in This
lutionary period, and orators will draw their most
exciting materials from the source. Nor car
il be denied that the issues at stake in pro-
portion in the magnitude and desperation of the
contest. Whether not thereshould be a balance o.
power ON the Nerth American Continent. and
whether slavery should he accepted by modern
civilization. questions inevitably involved in
il though thrust out of sight by more obtrusive
motives. Upon these questions. and upon the
further question whether the sudden abolition OF
slavery to be desired for the sake of the ne
groes themselves, opinions may still differ, bu
that tbs settlement of them will be the effect if il
was not the object, of the war, admits Of no rea-
sonable doubts.
