Times have changed.
A brief spell in the past they said that to

as treason.
Times have changed.
A short period ago Andrew johnson was
proclaimed by these men one of the purest

A brief spell in the past we were told that
the Union was made to be perpetual, and
that 10 preserve it was worth any sacrifice
that could be made.
Times have changed.
A short period ago it was proclaimed that
the war was waged solely for the perpetua-
ton of the UGion, and when that was ac-
complished the States were to have all their
rights unimpaired.

A brief spell in the past the negro was
looked upon as an inferior race, unfit fol

A short period ago the Republican party
denied that its object was to force negro suf-
rage upon the people.
Times have changed.
A few years in the past we had no enor-
nous debt, the people were comparatively
free from taxation, and everybody was pros
porous.
Times have changed.
A few years ago our Constitution was re-
spected, our rulers were honest men ana
patriots, the laws were obeyed, gold and sll-

one another as brethren, we did not require
the services of a mighty army and navy, and
all the people lived in happiness together.

A few wears ago the abolition leaders were

Henry Clay ForeSaw It.

In the debates in the United States Senate
in 1885, Henry Clay said:
"There are two descriptions Of persons
constituting the Abolition movement of the
country. If those who disavow Abolitiouism
will, nevertheless, upon all questions which
arise in Congress or in the country, array
themselves on the side of the Abolitionists,
and cooperate with them and support meas
ures which they support, and If these men
are those whom alone the Abolitionists viii
support by their sufrages for ofiees-call
them as you please, the result-the newt
able result Of the association-unless it be
resisted by the potency of the law and the
power of public opiniOn-is dangerous to the
Union tselE"
This Abolition movement did, as Henry
Clay foresaw it would, endanger the Union.
By it the Union is yet endangered, and if a
majority of the people shall not vote that
party retirement the restoration OF the Union
viii be prolonged NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Model Patriots.

TIE Radical Congress voted its members
each 81 900 extra pay, and took good care to
see that they got it.
The Radical Congress voted the soldiers
from $50 to 500 each, extra bounty, but
took no care to see that they got it.
The Radical Congress voted the black SOL

The Radical Congress voted the white SOL
diers each only from $50 10 500, extra boun-

the blacks, and calls it equalzing the boun-
ties. Each time, the Congress managed so
that the white soldier cannot get the little
bounty voted him.

SAEE.-A New York paper says: " Those
who shudder at the perils of the 1000 miles
Of railway travel which the President is about
to undertake, may be interested to know that
when he passed through Philadelphia, Maj
Cyrus S. Haldemsn, the railway insurance
agent, made him the recipient OF policy Of
insurance against general accidents during his
trip to Chicago and back to Washington, in
the sum OF $4,000.
THE authorities OF Mobile, Alabama, have
conveyed, as a free gift three acres OF ground
within the corporate limits of the city for the
interment of the dead Of the Union army
Importance attaches to this incident not so
much on account of the value of the gift, as
it should have occurred IN a city where the

could not be displayed without insult

MOTTO FOR REPUBLICAN COUNTY CON-
MENTIONS:
"No Soldiers need Apply"
St. Mary's gazette., 1866-04-19

South side Of Baltimore street, IN Baltimore
rents from 335 to 50 per cent higher than
the North side; consequently the south side
IS valued at 81 900 per front foot. while
the opposite side is assessed at only from
$1,000 to $500 per front foot. Thus
rents and income constitute the basis of
valuation in the cities. Ought not the
same rule to be applied to land in the coun :
,ry? Production Of the soil gives TO the
farmer the income which rents. in the cit
les. give to the, landlord, and affords him
the only means for the payment Of his tax
es, aud of support for his family How
imrnrtant then is it, not only to the farmer
who has to pay the tax, bat also to the
Government and the community at large,
that this production should be kept at its
highest standard! Any cause which lessons
production, lessens the general wealth ofthe
country. and lessons the ability of tho people
to pay taxes. and should not be lost sight of
m 4 general assessment for taxation Land
that will NOT or cannot produce income, Is
comparatively valueless. Thus a gold
mine. without labor to dig the ore from Its
bowels. is of no value The coal and iron
Of our mountains lay dormant and valueless
until the hand of labor penetrated its dark
and hidden rccesses, and brought it forth
for the use of man. just SO with the
farm without labor to develop its resources
and raise productive crops, it cannot be
said to be valuable
Labor and the means and facilities for
transportation to market are questions OF
the first Importance to the farmer, and ne
ccssary and essential elements in fixing
value to the farm How far the present
scattered, unsettled and uncertain condl-
ton Of farm labor is to affect or has affected
the production of crops is question tor
the assessor to ascertain and determine. =
The greater ease, and consequently less
cost, at which many farms can be worked
than others, is. also, consideration not
to be overlooked in making such '.just and
csual'' valuation, as is declared by the Bill
of Rights to be the only mode in which the
burthcn of taxation ought to be laid upon
the people Other considerations will,
doubtless, present themselves to- Che minds
of the assessors of the county La making
up their valuations Of OFT property, and it
is hoped and believed tkat every consider
alton of merit tending to lessen tEcsc val
uations will be duly entertained and fairly
weighed by these officers

TIE Assessment Bill
The reyaluation and general assessment OF


the property of q State is, at all times says
. writer in a recent issue Of the Montgomery
County Sentinel, most important and
difficult task. The theory. of good gov
crnment, is to.distributc its hurthen. equal
" upon NIL classes of persons, and nli clas-
sec. of property. The Bill of Rights OF
MARYLAND declares. ''that all persons, ex-
cent paupcrs. ought to bear their just and
equal proportion eftaxa'ion. Practically
70 adjust the basis Of taxation, so as to
conform to this declaration is the difficult
rroblem. This adjustment is ut all times
difficult, but douhly so at n time when val
ucs arc unsettled aud the currency OF the
country. as at present, in an unSound and
unhealthy condition. In a valuation to
run for years. it would be manifestly un-
lust to fix n basis according to the present
deprecated condition of the currency, in
the face of the effort of the Government to
restore the currency to sound specie ba-
.is, the only true standard of value known
to our laws and country. To value prop
erty now, when it takes l21 cents to make
= real dollar of 100 cents. is to give tic-
titious value Of ~ cents to every dollar s
worth of property SO assessed. lfwejudge
the future by the past, another twelve
months will not roll around before the
present able Secretary of the Treasury will
entirely oblitcrate and destroy this fictitious
value which now So listurbs and vitiates
the true values Of the country. Hence
how unjust to the people would be to add
this fictitious ~ cents to the fixed valua
ton Of every 2loo's worth of property t,
be made at this time?
The true guide by which to fix n valua
ton, as Il basis Of taxation, is a question u
deep interest. In cities rents or incom
form the guide Thus. the North side o
Pennsylvania avenue, in ashinston
rents much higher than the South side
