A Significant Change.

Our readers have seen some notice of ar
anniversary dinner gwen recently by tbs
proprietors of the New York Tribune on the
day when that excellent newspaper was
twenty-five years old. 1t was, beyond ques.
ton, a generous and costly entertainment,
such as powerful and wealthy association
might be expected to give; but what pecu-
LARRY impresses the mind in connection with
this feast is fact vouched for by the indie
pendent, which informs as that wine was not
wanting among the material and spiritual
refreshments provided in abundance on this
interesting occasion.
We can we'll imagine that many readers
will note this fact with a sigh over the lost
virtue of o most prominent and powerful ad-
vncate of temperance. It is not many years
since the Tribune was wont to contend snal

The Difference.

For the four years past democratic editors
have been arrested and their papers suppress

the tables are turned. Postofices are taken
from radical editors by the president at the
request of democratic editors and given to
true Union msn-at least our experience Jus
titles such conclusions. We called the ~other
day upon President johnson and request
ed the removal from the postoffce in this city

The following paragraph is from a small
volume published thirty years ago in London.
Without this explanation, our readers might
be led to suppose that it was written in view
of the animated discussion carried on at the
present time in our own county. We give it
uerbattm, italics and all:
This universal suffrage is impossible
There must be line drawn somewhere
Hunt says: Every man twenty one years
old, ought to have a vote. But why should
those that are twenty years and eleven
months. as we'll as women be excluded. Be
cause ii is necessary to draso line some,chAre.
AL that pay tdres ought to uOte. Then every
urchin ought to vote, tor taxation takes part
of their penny. Turn the matter as we will,
il 10 clear that a line must be drawn. Blu,
whers3 Aye, that's the rub. That must
ever remain matter of different opinion"

EQUALIZING TAAES'

The lava Of this stats require assessor. "
assess all property at ito acsuai '''A ~ ,h.,
and REQUIRE them to take an 0a'n 'aa'
they win do 90. and after they have 00mp'e'
cd their .,,e,.ment they must return 1t on'
der oath tba, thew have done so. If this was
actually done if tho property in every 0oan-
tv vas assessed at its actual cash value 'nen
the n.onls of zach county would pay 'neif
inst nropor.ion of state taxes, As ia'
countv tara, ar. concerned it would MAKE no
difference whether the property was assessed
=, one-fourth it's value or four times i'' 's'ue'
excen. in the amount which would be ra'seo'
A high assessment would raise more "on'S'
but each man would pay his proportion p,o-
yided the assessments were MADE 0" 'n'
same basis in each town.
But in order to avoid paying an unous
proportion of the state tax it has ooon 'no
practice in various counties to make 10" as
ssssments. and that practice has inof'a'0u
and so grown into custom that assessors now
meet and resolre to commit perjury, an" p'o-
1ish the. fact to the oorld'
The assessors in our county met In sne so'
pervisors' room, in this city, on the -o'n ui'',
every town represented, except prury' AND
resolved to assess all real and personal prop
erty at one,fourth ,ts cash vatae; to assess
hogs at 81 per hundred pounds; sheep at 81
head, and to omit sucking colts, calves and
pigs from the assessment. Nothing was SAID
about lambs.
Here is q body of men who swear TO exc
cute the laws of the state; swear tna' tney
will and have assessed all property at It's &C
tual cash value, and who get together and &C
tually resolve that they will commit perJnr
and assess property at one-quartsr It's acsua
cash value! This is no new thing, ana We
do not speak of it as anything new-but w
call public attention to the fact IN ORDER q
show that the practice is wrong. we ar
told, in reply, that other counties make low
assessments and we must DO so or pay NOR
than our share Of state tax. This is all true
and it shows that some change IS necessar.
in our revenue laws in order to ensure equa
taxation. 1t is very likely that our assessor
are as smart as in the balance of the counties
and if there is any false swearing TO DO the.
can probably out-swear the lot. But wha
we object to is that they have to swear to ex
ecute the law and then get together and re
solve that they won't do any such thing.
There are other wrongs and inequalities
such as assessing cattle, watches, pisnoes
carriages, &C., &C., at so much EACH Tit
right way is to assess each animal, each pi
ano, each watch, each carriage, &C., &C., a
its v,lue, and thus require each person in
community to pay his proportion of taxes
and no moro than his proportion. But whsl
we add, to these Irregularities, the fact tina
men of wealth place their funds in Unite
States bonds and almost wholly escape taxa
ton, the inequalities are SO great as to ren
der the whole thing farce. VIII it ever b
remedied?

in all the interests and departments OF mater
ial, moral and social development and prog
gress.- Chicago Journal LIST.
According TO the Buffalo Courier the stories
told about the immense advantages derived to
the United States revenue from the increased
force of male and female inspectors and de-
tectives on the frontier, and the periodical
dispatches from Washington that an eifectual
check had been given to smuggling by the
activity of local officials, are all CANNON
The Rochester UaiOn also SAYS;
'.The quantity OF spirits Struggled into the eoun-
try from Canada is enormous, probably third
of all that is consumed. All the stuff telegraphed
from Washington will not gainsay this. One half
the whisky sold in this city, Buffalo, and ether
points al ong the frontier is the product of Canadi
an RpirIts.'
Thus, by the foolish action of congress in
keeping up the tax. farmers are compelled
to sell their corn for almost nothing.
The presidents annual message was read
u China forty-taree days after i. was read
in Washington. 1t was telegraphed from
Washington 20 San Francisco. and carried
thence TO China by a sailing vessel, tina,
made the remarkably quick passage Of forty
days.
1t has been developed that if MIR. Commits
sioner Isaac Newton cannot run the agricul.
turaI department, he is an adept In the fnan
cial department If he hasn't ready brains
he has nimble fingers. 1t is alleged that he
has been guilty of fraud and misappropria
ton of public moneys; of keeping fictitious
names on the pay rolls Of his bureau o.
putting the money paid out for them int
his own pockets; of renting needless build
ings at government expense, and re-rentin 9
them for his own benefit.
Add TO this the fact that intelligent agri
culturists throughout the country regard bin

for his removal. 1t is reported that Presi
