The Township Assessment.

EDITOR ARGUS, Dear Sir Il discovered
in the daily Union of the 18th inst. charges
of gross errors in assessing the property of
this town, for the current year, and referring
its readers to few cases which l shall no.
tice merely to show the falsity Of the charg
es and leave it to the people to judge of the
probable motive and spirit that prompted
such an understandable lattack upon me.
The case of inequality cited in the charge
is that of Major Beardsley's pic mic acre, as
sessed at $500. The same acre has been
bought and sold repeatedly for $1,000 and
probably could not be bought to-day for
less.
In answer to the comparison with MIR.
Davenport's land adjoining, l would say
that all the land of Mr.. Davenport and his
mother, in this town, was assessed upon
an aggregate valuation of the whole tract,
some of which is not worth the assessed val
ne and some more.
The next case is that of John l.. Bean, on
Orleans street, who owns one-half a block,
with six or seven good tenant houses, all
rented at round prices. The entire property
would probably bring, in the market, at least
$S00O Isl
VIM. Shearer has one lot and a fraction,
and at the time of assessment 1.-THE lst OF
April his building was demolished to re-
model.
In every case mentioned in the Union the
charges are SO palpably erroneous, and SO
evidently made for political purposes, that
deem it unnecessary specially to refute them
l would say that, have the assurance oil
most of the property-owners of this town
| that my assessment, upon the whole, is to
them entirely satisfactory. k
| A. WAGNER.

Beausie. Of the Radical Liquor Law

Bosros. August 1.-THE difficulties aris-
ing from the enforcement of the prohibitory
liauor law IN the town of Ghicopee, still con-
tinue. Deputy Chaplin and the chief consta-
BILE of Hampden county got out warrants to
make seizures in the place. The operatives
hearing Of it, vowed the seizures should not
be made. They expected the constables
Friday might, but were disappointed. A
number of people, supposed to be identified
with the unruly crowd, were seen near the
premises. Deputy Bliss, who resided in
town, had his barn set on fire by them and,
with the contents, totally consumed. Depu-
ty Chaplin sent to Boston for achievements
and twenty-five men were Immediately sent
him. This morning he visited the town
with strong force and made a dozen o,
more seizures at a very early hour, and thus
outwitted the operatives. He remained il
the place and when the news was cir
culated among the inhabitants the excite
ment was intense. So many warlike dem
constructions were manifest that he autographed
for more reinforcements, and twenty-five
more men, some from Boston, were sen
to his relief. All officers were well armet
and capable of exercising vigorous measures
to restore peace. At late hour this even
ing the operatives made demonstration ant
were comforting together in loud tones in tn
streets and riot is anticipated tonight o
| tomorrow night.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-08-19

The first official act of General Grant,
as secretary of war, was an order setting
aside two of General Sickles' thoroughly
Jacobin edicts in the Carolinas. This is
the first instance since the passage of the
military despotism act when an order by a
district commander has been disapproved
through the channel of the war-office. Fol-
lowing SO speedily upon the removal of STAN
ton, ii is regarded as significant of a more
liberal policy, to be inaugurated by General
Grant, in the disagreeable task of executing
the congressional despotism in the southern
states. OF course it is an act which will Gre
ate coldness in Jacobin bosoms toward the
distinguished individual to whom many of
them have looked as an eligible candidate
for the presidency. The public need not be
surprised to hear Jacobin howl 60 up
shortly against Grant so loud that its howl
against Johnson will be silence by compar'
isOn.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-08-19

The work of taking down the impudence
of the military satraps whom congress i'm
posed on the southern states, has begun in
earnest, and in such straightforward and
legal manner thatneither radical organs nor
radical congress can, without qualification,
object in the least. A telegram from Wash
ilgton the 18th, says. at is understood that
the President has assigned Maj. Gen. Geo.
H. Thomas to the command of the Fifth
Military District in place of Gen. Sheridan,
who has been assigned to the command of
the Department of Missouri, from which
Gen. Hancock has been transferred to the
Department of the Cumberland, in place of
Gen. Thomas. 1t is expected that the order
carrying these assignments into effect will
be issued from the war department early
this week."

Why Eve Didn't Want a Hired Girl.

Somebody woman of course--inquires
why, when Eve was manufactured from the

Because Adam never came whining to

: A writer from the Paris Exposition has a
few words to say on the women who are seen
at the great FAIR He'says:
England sends us several misses, whose
specially consists in letting themselves be
courted by all the world, then finishing by
marrying some rich and idiotic nobleman.
Russia sends princesses, created and sent
into this world for the express purpose OF
marrying artists. Spain sends guitar women,

ton. Here the eye rests upon an Italian,
with black eyes and purple black hair, and
coiffed with this graceful mezzao, which is
one of the most ravishing head-dresses ever
invented by coquette. There is Swede'
