THERE is a project on foot TO erect
monument to Mr.. Peabody in New York.
We would gladly see any honor paid TO
the great philanthropist, though monu-
mcntS, in modern times, have little to do
with the perpcluation Of fame. 1t lives

lions viii hear, while few will see his
statue The London Spectator in speak
ing of Mr. Peabody, says: Though
not a strikingly able man, he had the.
quality, whatever it he, that enables men
to make fortunes. 1t is, perhaps, kind
of prcscicncc in trade akin to The preset
cncc OF The sculptor who forcsecs the
lines his chiscl win make. His munifi-
ccncc-which might he called regal, if
royalty in these days ever gave attracted
the more attention because the English
miliionajr,s have, as Il rule, forgotten how
to give. Marvclnus as English
charities arc, there is want of grandeur
in the English notions about giving from
which the American seems free

FAILURE OF AN IMMIGRATION
TREATY.

TREATY.
Washington dispatches state that official
information is at hand showing that the
efforts of the government TO negotiate
treaty with foreign powers for the better
protection of immigrants have failed.
Inst before the close of President John
sons administration, Bismark wrote to
Secretary Seward proposing, in behalf of
the North German confederation, the ne
COLLATION. of such treaty with the United
States. The matter went over to the
hands of the present administration,
when Secretary Fish suggested that such
a treaty should be negotiated with all the
maratimc powers, and England was invit-
ed to participate, with other nations. But
for some reason or other, probably on &C
count of the large immigration from Ire
land, she declined the invitation, and the
whole question has thus fallen through.
The State Department, 50 far as learned,
does not seem inclined to accept the Origi-
nal offer made by Count Bismark

It should be borne in mind that these
aggregates are made up from the returns
of the assessors in each civil
district in each county of the
State. These tables clearly show the
business Of the Comptroller's complaint
rs 10 the underyalHation of at least real
estate by the assessors, and that there is
no regularity, no system as to the valua-
ton of real estate. We find in the re-
ports of the Comptroller before the war
some facts which are interesting in this
connection. The average value of land
per acre is thus set down by the Comp
trollpr for two vpars

ASsEssMENrs AND TAXES.


On the 9TH of December, 1868, the
Comptroller sent to Che Legislature re-
port in regard to the State finances and
the receipts and disbursements of the
treasury, from which we extract as fol
lows:
"The foregoing table shows that
=, 5S5, 0SS acres of land were listed in
1868 more than was in 1867, and that the
aggregate value of ssother property'i is
less in 1868 than in 1867 by $50, 15S, Of0,
and that the aggregate value of the real
estate and personal property for the year
1868 is less than in 1857 by SIT, Sn4,
1913 81. Also, that more polls were listed
in 1868 than in 1867 by 9, i0S; and. also,
that the State and school tax for 1868, in
the aggregate, only exceeds thatifor 1861
$l50, 991 0s, Notwithstanding the fact
that the taxes were higher on property by
j 8 cents to the 500 worth. ~ g e3si.Ili ~
'9Tlae proposition often announced that
the magistrates absolutely refuse to assess
property at anything like its real value
is reduced to a mathematical demonstra-
ton by the foregoing. ~
q l feel justified in stating, however,
that great improvement win be made in
the assessment of properly for the year
1869. /" - +. - -,
The Oomptroiler's report to the present
Legislature shows that the aggregate tax
able property of the State assessed for
this year exceeds that of lastyearby Sl5,-
sos, s74, but falls short of the aggregate
value assessed for 1867 by 81, 262, Ss7.
That the members of the Legislature and
others may the more readily appreciate
the Comptrolier's charge that the magis-
tTates win not "assess property at any
thing Ike It's real value, |" we herewith
present a table compiled from the reports
of the Comptroller, giving the average
value of lands per acre in each county in
the State for three wears
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-11-30

1t will thus be seen that lands apprecia-
ted in value in all the divisions of the
State before the war, but since then there
appears to have been a gradual deprecia-
ton. The facts we have submitted show
that there has been no fair valuation of
lands since the war for taxation. This
evil should be rcmedied, and it lies with
the Legislature to apply the remedy.
