| Iltical atmosphere Is fast passing away.
| and the skies are again becoming clear.
| The thunder and lighting that terrified
| the nervous and made even cool heads
anxious, served to purify the air that had
become too sultry for the political health.
A few distracted individuals continue to
/ rush about, shrieking that the storm is
still raging with fury, the Union edifiee

general destruction is at hand, but their
shrieks create more amusement or indig-
nation than alarm The storm is over.
the Union edifce stands mistaken, and
none are hurt except in their reputation
for political sagacity.
We speak for the Union masses of
Ohio, and especially for those of the
Northern portion Of the State, when we
say that the incendiary course of those
who attempt the disruption of the Union
party by creating and widening a breach
between the President and Congress.
does not meet their approval However
some Of them may have been led astray
by the impulse Of the moment, their So
Der second thought has convinced them
that a permanent quarrel between the
Congress and the President must neces-
sarily lead to the disruption and destruc-
ton OF the Union party, the surrender of
the Government into the hands of the
Copperheads and the disloyaI element of
the South, and the consequent undoing
of all that has been accomplished By the
war. Whatever mistakes have been
made by eithor the President or the lead !
ers of the party that elevated him to DOW
er, whatever difference may exist in their
views as to the right course to beypursued, /.
the people cannot believe that either side |
is dishonest or disloyal and they are
anxious that the mistake should be reoti- .
fed and the difference compromised. /
We have gratifying assurances of the

WOOL GROWERS SOCIETIES From
notices that we meet with in our exchan-
ges, we should judge that In a very large
majority of the counties in Ohio, Wool
Growers Associations have been formed
composed of Farmers interested in the
raising Of sheep and the production of
wool. The object of these societies is
self protection against sharpers and Eas-
tern dealers and manufacturers, and of
home interests. In addition to this, in
many sections ofthe State, large Wooden
Factories are being erected, and others
are enlarging their capacities for manu-
featuring the wool into cloths, &c. This
IS truly gratifying. There is no earthly
reason why Ohio wool can not be manu-
featured at home just as we'll and as
eheaply as in the New England mills.
We see now. the right spirit manifested,
and that 1t will succeed does not admit Of
a doubt.
The erection of woolen factories in the
west is not confined to our own State. as
will be seen from the following paragraph.

INTERESTING TO TAX PAYERS AND IS
SCISSORS.

SCISSORS
The State Auditor has sent to the sew
eral County Auditors the following i'm
portant Circular, which is worthy the Sc
rious attention of Township Assessors,
as well as tax payers, who are now en-
gagged In making out their annual lists.
A remedy should be found for the gross
inequality in the valuation of property
and if those making the returns. or the
Assessors receiving them, fail to discharge
their duty, the Board Of Equalization
should see to it that Justice is done and
the people Of one township do not pay
more than those of another on the same
kinds Of property
OFFIcB OF THE AUDITOR OF STATE,
COLUMBUS, o.. April II, 1896.
SIR Inquiries are so frequently made
at this office on the following subjects,
and as they are Of peculiar significance at
this particular period in the year, I adopt
this method of communicating instruc-
tions in regard to them.
1. VALUATIONS OF PROPERTY FOR
TAXATION.-Our Constitution and laws
require that all property shall be appraised
for taxation at It's usual selling price of
market value yet every intelligent man,
familiar with the subject, knows and ad-
mits that our official values do not rep
resent more than half the market value |
Of the property Of the State. I am also |
assured that the values of property for |
taxation In the various wards in cities and |
towns, townships and districts in coun- /
ties are very unequal. And although I
these syils cannot be entirely remedied /
without a general revelation of real es-
tate, yet much may be done to mitigate |
some Of their worst features, BY the local !
boards Of equalization. The 18th section |
Of the Tax law I'D Swan & Critch. D.
1,457) authorizes these boards to add to
or diminish the value of real estate in
any district town or township. And as
the vaiHatiOn is too low In all, let the
Board select the ward in the city, or
township IN a county, or less district, in
which valuations are the highest, and
add such per centUm to the valuations
in each and all Of the others as will bring
the lower, relatively, to an equality Of
value with the highest, and add to OF. di-
mlnish the valuations Of oPparticular tracts
or lots, as justice may require. The
course should be pursued in reference to
the valuations of personal property. The
people of one township should not es-
cape their just proportion Of taxes BY ap-
pralsilag their property lower than simi-
lar property in other townships. The
Board should bring the lower up to a !
fair equality with the highest, and the

Special Dispatch TO the Cincinnati Gazette.
THE PRESIDENTS PR0GL AMATIOE EXPLAINED

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Presi-
dent, IN a conversation with General
Howard respecting the Freedman's Bu-
reaU, has said something of importance
BY way of Interpretation of his recent
peace proclamation. He says 1t has only
such scope with reference to the States
named therein as his former proclama-
ton had with reference to them. He
regards 1t as only another step in the
policy Of reconstruction beingspursued by
the Government. It does not suspend
the operation of military law In any of
the States, and the Freedman s Bureau
viii continue to exercise It's accustomed
functions throughout the South Army
officers viii remain on duty as its agents.
aud justice will continue to be admins
tered between the freedmen and the
whites by the existing semi military
Courts, till the various States give the
former the right to be heard In the civil
Courts IN the same manner that the latter
are. The President referred to the fact
that military power was exercised In
Tennessee as well as elsewhere in the
South, and spoke particularly of Gen
Fisk s administration of the affairs of the
Bureau IN that State. He would remain
there, and the proclamation would not
curtail his powers, nor the powers of any
other agent of the Bureau.
The rebels of Kentucky the President
regards as of worse spirit than sthose of
any other State. Gen. Fisk had not been
too severe with them, and the freedmen
Of that State, as well as those of Mary
land, would still be protected by the
military. The scope of the proclamation
with respect to military trials by courts
martials and commissions, does not seem
well understood even by officers high IN
here and elsewhere. The de-
partment commanders of Georgia and
Alabama have telgraphed here for infor-
nation on the subject, and it Is under
stood that the matter was brought before
the Cabinet to-day. What; action was
taken is not knogn, but there are good
reasons for believing that the War De-
Dartment viii soon issue a circular or
general order of instructions.

The Democracy of Madison, Wiscon-
sin, notwithstanding the holy horror
with which their party has been afflicted
for years, lest they should become the
equal Of the negro, placed a negro at the
head of their ticket for Mayor of Madi-
son. The negro did not feel fattered, as
the following from his card in the Wis
cOnsin State journal will show
While I can understand their unfor-
tunate plight in not being able to find a
man willing to head their ticket, they
ought not to expect me, or any man Of
my color, to soil his fair fame, and his
new birth into the rights of citizenship,
by voluntarily lending himself to their.
base purposes.
In conclusion permit me to say that I
am Union man, and have to-day voted
the straight Union ticket If any Dem
oerat wishes to compliment me let him
go and do likewise"

REIGN OF TERROR AT BOISE CITY.-A
terrible state of society exists at Idaho.
where genuine reign of terror appears to
have been inaugurated. By the following
from the World of April 2lst. it would seem
that Vigilance Committees are not always
particular:
The body of D. c. Upayke. late Sheriff of
Ada county, and late Captain of the Ada
county Volunteers, was found hanging to a
tree on the Rocky Bar road The body of
Jacob Dixen, formerly of Saltwater Creek.
Shasta county. California, was also found
within a short distance. A paper was at
tached to the person of Updyke, accusing
him of being cognizant of the Port Neuf
robbery, of bogus gold dust operations.
horse stealing. etc. asserting, also. that he
had confessed his crimes and given the
names of his accomplices, an. winding up
with these words ''The roll is being call
ed" The paper attached to the body of
Dixen accused him of being the tool OF Up
dyke 1t is said that Updyke was paid
81 900 Just before leaving Boise City, and
that at the time of his . taking OFF, he had a
considerable sum in greenbacks on his per
son. We hear nothing of the money since
his death, and probably never shall. A
reign of terror prevails at Boise City and no
man feels safe. or dare denounce these pro
ceedngs. 1t is an easy matter to strangle
the best man in the community, and pin a
paper on the dead body, accusing him of the
worst of crimes Dead men tell no tales.

THE REASON WnY.-The Syracuse Jour
nal explains the vote of Senator Morgan,
which was Unexpectedly given for the Civil
Rights bill over the Presidents veto. The
journal says:
1t was generally expected here that Sena'
tor Morgan would vote to sustain the veto,
ana that the Collector would be named to
suit hlm The vote of the Senator Tor the
bill and against the President, was sur
prise. But 1t is now accounted for. and not
unreasonably. We hear the facts stated as
fol'ows On Monday, April 3D. the Pres-
dent promised Senator Morgan that on the
next day Mr.. Depew should De appointed
But the nomination was not made on that
day, and on Wednesday the Senator sent an
inquiry to the President regarding the mat
ter, which Was answered to the effect that
the nomination could not be made tiil after
the vote on the veto, for the reason that II
made sooner Senator Lane. of Kansas, would
not stand by the veto. This is explained
by the well known fact that the Kansas
Senator wants Henry E. Davies for Collec-
tori The President course in the natter,
involving "A breach of faith on his part, was
not at all to the mind Of the New York
Senator (Morgar), who had agreed with
his colleague Harr s) on IA candidate for
Collector (Depew), and be therefore felt
himself at liberty to vote on The Clvl
Rights bill according TO the convictions and
the wishes of the people of his State. We
are certain this statement IF facts is substan-
TALLY correct.
As the President has since appointed Mr..
Smytbe both Senator Morgan and Lane
were disapponted-th latter badly sold.
