Interesting Conversation Between two
House.
How are you, BIZ You have just been
to the Treasuiar's Office, Been paying
your lax, SUI, pose. w
Mr. b. Yes, l have been paying an
amount of taxes which might be con-
sidered a COED rent on my little place.
Last year i W, rked hard, and as the re-
suit of my labor my wheat turned out
failure, and what corn and pork bad,
fell so in prize, that it hardly paid me
for The Labor bestowed upon it; and
then had to pay the Government per
cent. per bush for the privilege of rails
ing the corn, and a per cent per head
for the privilege of killing my hogs
And now, after paying my taxes, / will
not realize any thing for my years labor.
Your are a very wealthy man, Mr.. A.. /;
have heard our wealth estimated at
one hundred thousand dollars. Your
taxes must b. enormous. You must
have difficulty in the scarcity Of money
TO raise funds 10 pay them.
Mr.. A. Oh! no; my taxes are light
They only ans mt to fifteen dollars per
year.
Mr.. B. How is thatl am not worth
one tenth the mount that you are, and
yet my taxes are over one hundred dol
lars per year TttB0
Mr.. A. You see | had foresight. 1
knew that the enormous cost of the war
would entail ssrievous burdens of taxa
ton npon the l%sople, and as soon as the
Government l.Tt its bonds upon the
market promising to exempt them from
State, county and township as we'll as
National taxat on, and to Fay an interest
in gold equal - what my income was in
green backs, | Immediately sold my two
farms, my town lots, collected in what was
owing to me, And even sold my family
residence, and invested every dollar of
it in Government securities am
worth $4,000. upon which receive an
interest which is equivalent to eight
per cent. in currency and / don't pay a
cent of tax for any purpose, except
about fifteen dollars on the furniture in

Mere Disfranehisemen' an prospect
The complaints of the Radicals with re-
gard to the imperfect execution OF the
registration ACT, seem to foreshadow
revision of the enrolment lists through
ont the entire State,-a course rendered
necessary by the obstinacy of the regis
tered voters in condemning the frauds
and iniquities of the disunion party. In
deed, a certain official was heard to de-
clare. since the last election, that the
Board of Registration of which he was a
member, would soon take into consider
alton about two hundred cases of illegal
enrolment to which they could not at
tend in May last. Since by the success
of the Amendment outrage, by numerous
illegal erasures from the registration
books, by mobbing, ballot-stuffing, and
malicious prosecutions, the Radicals
have not obtained a secure and perpetual
lease of power, they are forced to submit
IQ6 TOH VI NOLClo 70 S9hOoASA SNN~S~
defamation, in order that all the disaf-
footed may he cast ont into the darkness
of political nonentity and forever de-
prived of the power to thwart the de-
signs of those who run the machine. >
Should this plan. be pursued, we can
only commend to the injured parties the
action of gentleman of Upshur county,
whose opposition to the amendment was
the only act of his life by which the Reg
istrars ever sOucht tojustify his disfran-
chisement. He has sued the Board OF
Registration for damages to the amouns
of twenty thousand dollars: He will be
very apt to vote at the next elesblon
When fanaticism becomes caNous to
reason, justice and honor. it will always
be found extremely sensitive On financial
questions, and the heart which nothing
else can move will invariably vibrate to
a single touch of the pocket nerve. .,.

MIR. valleys speech. /.

Our recent remarks concerning Sena.
tor WILEY's late speech were by no
means exhaustive. Indeed we were able
to refer to but very few of the gems OF
wisdom contained in that precious de.
liverance. Notwithstanding this, we
would not again call attention to it,
were it not for it's representative char.
acter. Viewed as an. exponent of West
Virginia Radicalism, lit is a delightful
production, profitable fordoctrine" and
wellworthy the frequent consideration of
the thoughtful and appreciative. What
spirited logic is contained in the few sen
fences with which the chameleon states
man brushes the weaker brethren; who
discern some connection between negro
suffrage and negro equality. Hear him ::
"And if he (the negro were really and
truly our equal, what would are have to

IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
During the month Of July there were issued
out OF the Building Inspectors Office permits
for the erection of 337 buildings, and for the
alteration and extension of 1870, making total
of 467. OF the structures to be erected 254 were
for dwellings, 3 lor churches; school houses 81;
factories, 8; stores, l3; shops l6; wash'houses
3; stables, l9a and each OF the following named:-
boiler house, engine house. dve house, green
house, brewery, and station house. The we'll.
ings were, 2 tourstory 10 three-story, and 50
tWo-story. Last month the permits numbered,
1ornew buildings, 800, for alterations and addi-
tions 223 There has been very little If any,
decrease in the price Of building materials as
was anticipated early in the spring. The hest
pressed brick sell tor S25. The prices OF last
wear are kept up, and in some materials there
has been q slight advance.
Notwithstanding eight hundred dwelling.
have been erected since the opening of spring,
it is as difficult to obtain dwelling-house no y
as at any time in the last twelve months.
1t will be seen, by a comparison between the
Building Inspectors report OF July, 1865, and
that of last month, that there was o considera
BILE increase in the number of dwellings foI
which permits were taken out-ll2 IN July
1866, and 254 in the month lust passed. Some
of the dwellings now erected are rented before
the cellars are dug, and generally before they
are finished
