ilDoes the IT, to be levied on the city for the
Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Rail-
road apply to real and personal estate, or
isit real estate alone tn It is to be taxed?
On this question depends many votes
Can you give any light on this subject in
your issue for Monday?
The above was handed US on Satur-
day by prominent citizen, with the
request that we state the facts in this
mornings issue.
There are two ways, under the pro-
visions of the City Charter and the
State laws, by which the Common
{ Council is authorized to take stock in
railroads; 1st, by the petition of two
thirds of the owners of real estate;
and End, by vote of the majority of
the qualified voters of the city. When
the stock is taken upon the petition
of the owners of real estate, the tax to
pay the interest and principal of the
bonds is levied on real property only.
When the stock. is taken upon asvote
of the people, the tao as leuied upon
all kinds Of property, both real and
personal If the majority Of the voters
to-day decide that the city shall take
stock in the E., III. & NJ Railroad,
the tax to be levied as a consequence
of it will be imposed upon all kinds of
property. All classes of citizens will
share equally in the burdens. and in
proportion to their estate, of whatever
character it may be, will contribute to
pay the interest and principal of the
bonds issued by the city.

Crop Reports.

WHEAT PRosPEoTs.-Wheat is
ripening very rapidly. Many farmers
began harvesting the first of the week.
The prospect is good. In some local
tiles it is slightly affected by rust, but,
altogether, the evidence of a large
yield were never more reliable Du-
ring this and next week the most of
the wheat in this county will be har-
vested.
The corn, notwithstanding the late
ness of the season, bids fair to do
we'll. Farmers bring in the most en-
couraging reports of this crop from
all parts of the county.
Some hay is already being har-
vested. The prospect for a large
yield is encouraging.
The agricultural prospects of the
whole country were scarcely ever
more encouraging. We confidently
predict a return to the old prices of
produce after the present harvest.
Wdrrick Herald, &c.
Col. 1. n. Eastman is now cutting
his wheat, on the farm below the

quality unusually fine. Perhaps a
better lot or wheat Will not De mar
vested in this section V'ncenaes
San, %.
WE hear serious complaints from
our farmers, since the commencement
of harvest, that the yield of wheat will
fall far short of their expectations
the deficiency being caused by rust"
and spot" As yet it is impossible
to arrive at any correct estimate of
the quantity so injured, but we are
inclined to the belief that the dam
age is greatly over estimated. The
weather during the past week has
been very favorable for harvesting,
but the continued hot, dry weather is
beginning to tell seriously on the corn
crop. Rain is sadly needed in our vi
cinity.-Neao HARMONY Register, 29th.
THE WHEAT. = This crop so far
promises we'll in this county. Con-
siderable alarm was manifested by
some of our farmers in regard to the
appearance of the weevi. From all
that we can learn, it is not half as
bad as it has been represented.

~ The Courier man has style Of
argument peculiarly his own in dis
posing of an opponent. Some time
ago, in an article on Louisiana politics,
we published current news item
about murder alleged to have been
committed in that State. It appears
the Courier, after an unnecessary
lapse of time, has found, in some re-
liable Democratic sheet, a denial of
the fact; whereupon it devotes
half column of not very
polite editorial to prove the
JOURNALS studied efforts at false
hood. With the ferver and elegance
of diction of Nasty, it cries out: Is
the penchant for falsehood so great
in their 6rest that the JOURNAL edi-
tors can't resist the temptation?' 1t
says it does not expect an answer,
after its crushing attack. We are
glad it has mercifully excused US.
How could we reply?
