Whatever views Horace Greedy
may entertain of Jefferson Davis and
Of the propriety Of furnishing the
arch traitor according TO bis deserts,
it is certain that he is 10 friend OF
the reconstruction policy Of Andrew
Johnson, especially if the following
paragraph, from an editorial in tho
Tribune, commenting upon the Presi>
dents recent veto message, reflects
the real sentiments of its Editor in.
chief:
"ln any trial OF strength between
Andrew Johnson and the people,
Andrew Johnson will be overthrown.
OF that be may be sure. Yet if there
Is any man utterly blind to the
events Of the day and alienated from
the spirit and purposes Of his coun>
try, that man is the President of the
United States. He is as far remoy :
cd IRON sympathy with the nation
as the Khan Of Tartary, and further
than the Emperor Of Japan. In his
own lard he is as foreigner. lie
holds the highest Office in the Union
IN the interest Of the Rebellion, and
the whole aim Of his policy seems to
be to substitute the defeat Of the Tn
ion for the victory to which it is en-
titled
1t is an interesting coincidence
that the editorial Of which the above
is part, appeared in the Tribune
the same day on which the President
sent the name of Mr.. Greedy into tho
Senate for confirmation as minister
TO Austria.

New Potatoes.

The advantages to follow the adop-
ton Of new kinds of cereals and root
kinds, are so we'll understood among
all well read people that it appears
unnecessary to even alludo to them
As to the few ignorant farmers, they
cannot be reached by the ordinary
channels they do not even take the
Herald, and all wish to sell out and
leave the country.
Very much is being said Of new
kinds ofpotatoes, especially the "Ear-
Ia G0odrich." Hon. NJ. X. Young is
confessedly the big potato man OF
this county, and has had these and
other kinds on trial for several sea-
sons. With an advertisement offer.
ing small lots of these potatoes for
sale, he writes us as follows, the let

is considered the best of his late grow

Horse Thieves.

John Speth, near Belmont, had a
horse stolen on Saturday evening"
See advertised notice, reward, &c.
1t is time and orderly that people
should be up and doing in the matter
of disposing of the thieving vaga-
bonds rowing about the country
The horse thief fraternity, the burg,
lars, &C., cannotpossibly be mistaken.
Their faces as unerringly betray their
calling rs doth the nose of the tipler
tell of his weakness. Halfthe people
have a natural eyetor Judging wheth-
er stranger is a horse thief or other
night prowler. All such suspected
char acters should be arrested under
the vagrant law and be made to ren>
der account or go to Jail. Such should
be photographed, measured and des>
cribed, and their several particular
parts essentia. to their being known
should be sent to the sheriff. As to
those caught with stolen horses or
known to be thieves it is not essen
tial that we know Of that the public
should be burthened with any great
expense for their trial and punish,
nlent. We think however the Coun.
- 20 ouperVisors would pay for all the

In the last number of the Boscobel
appeal there appeared contributed
article, name of writer unknown, des4
| ignated as criticism on the action
of the County Board of Supervisors
in equalizing the property assess
ments. The essential parts of said
criticism are noted and replied to in
the Herald by Esqr. Burr. The op-
lnion Of those who have read the ar
ticle in the appeal, SO far rs we have
heard any expression, is, that the
main intent and aim OF the writer
was an attack on the Supervisor of
that district, McNair, in view OF de-
feating his probable candidacy and
reelection this fall and securing his
own election as Supervisor, or of
some one in his interest. We should
not notice it but fer the fact that the
writer, we think, unfairly represents
the action and design Of the County
Board, especially in allowing some
advantage to Lancaster to the injury
of the other towns and especially
Boscobel. lie might have made out
his case just as well by affirming that
dozen other towns than Lancaster
were favored by the Board and Bos-
cobel abused. This shows perhaps
that he holds somthing of q grudge
toward Lancaster. Whoever he may
be, we venture the affirmation that
he is an habitual growlel and official
disappointed.
Persons present at the meeting of
the Board of Equalization say that,
when the question of equalizing Lan>
caster came up, Esquire Burr refused
to advise except as to one point, hold
ing that when al officer is personally
interested in any official result. he
ought not to advise or decide if it can
be avoided SO the entire action in
the matter of equalizing the assess
ments for Lancaster was taken by
the other members of the Board
The only point which he me- toned
was this: PlatteviIle, having less per.
sonal property reported than Ian
caster, when upon just report there
should be more, because Platteville
is richer and more populous without
question, he thought the Board ought
to see to it that justice was done by
att hon, 1sniS Dta ffnuilfn
Lancaster. He advised that the two
towns be made at least equal, but
the Board proceeded to add $40, 900
to Platteville and reduce Lancaster
$4,000. Mr.. Hodges of Platteville
was present and said he could not in
justice to himself as man and citi>
zen object to the action. The Hon.
c.. X. Dean, the Boscobel assessor for
last year, and one Of the ablest in the
county, reported about $4,000 less
than the present assessor, especially
advised that it stand. But the Board
upon comparison reduced it 10 per
cent. That Boscobcl has since gains
ed equal TO the increased report we
have no manner of doubt, being by
far the most fiourishing town in the
county. Why, in most other towns,
as in Lancaster even, the personal as.
sessments of this year are returned
much larger than the year before
Lancaster we believe $4,000 above !!
So the grumbling ought to be the
other way, the boot on the other leg

The Herald says jeff Davis recent
ly said in conversation that the Ten
essee election will probably inangur-
ate war of races, and for the whites
in that state then to discharge the
radical blacks from their employ
ment. As to the proposition that it
would be well TO put a few negroes
in Office for the purpose Of creating
a reactionary feeling against them,
it might do as matter Of spite, but
it would be bad precedent.
