Chief of the Bureau of Statistics is
preparing a synopsis of a monthly
report for August, in which is given
full statement of imports, exports

increase of $54 800. 600 over the fiscal

sSFeellng his Oats -

The Councilman from the Second
Ward is evidently in the condition of
a young colt who feels his oats, and
rejoiceth in the prospect of yet richer
public pastures and waters ever flow
ing. Yea, verify, like Jobs war
horse. he paweth in the valley, and
rejoiceth in his strenth; he mocketh
at fear, and is not affrighted; he swal
loweth the ground with iarceness and
rage; neither believeth he that it is
the sound of the trumpet; He saith
among the trumpets, Ha! hal and he
smelleth the battle sfar off, the thun.
ders of the captains and the shout
ings." In no other way can we sat
isfactorily account for the supercili.
business with which he treated re.
spectful remonstrance, signed By men
of all parties, which was presented to
his Council on Monday evening. We
copy the remonstrance again, this
morning, that our readers may clearly
comprehend its import and meaning:
To the Common Council Of the City of Ev-
ansville:
The undersigned, owners of real estate In
the city, remonstrate against the unjust
and exorbitant re-appraissment of said
real estate by your body, under the name
of an equalization of the ASSESSOR value OF
the same.
And in doing SO, we feel constrained to
say, that while we desire to pay all just
and proper taxes, we cannot AFFORD to pay
on such appraisements as these; in fact,
that we cannot afford to own real estate
in the city upon such q basis for taxation.
We respectfully petition your honorable
body to reduce said appraisements to "the
fair cash value" required by law. Failing
In this, we shall be driven to resort to
other means OF obtaining redress.

The County Convention.

We are highly gratlted to witness

jority. The Hartlein Convention has
not given satisfaction to many of the
Democratic workers. who have here
tofore been the staff and stay of that
party. They have been showed aside
to make way for eleventh hour "
Democrats, who opposed that par
ty in its days Of darkness and
hung around Republican officers to
gather the crumbs which fell from
their tables. These late accessions,
in full accordance with the pro-
gramme marked out by the Courier,
are given front seats, and the chief
honors of the party they have SO re-
Gently adopted. Besides, there is
nothing in the candidates themselves
or their antecedents to arouse any en-.
thusiasm on the part of the rank and
file. 1t is our hope that the Republi-
cans will commit no such blunders in
their Convention on Thursday They
have, no doubt, already discovered
the anxiety of their opponents, and
the weak Inventions to which they
seem disposed to resort to breed dis
sensions in the Republican ranks.
But this ought only to inspire conf
dence and enthusiasm, and lead to
increased effort. It will also teach
Republicans clution, and how to profit
by the blunders of their adversaries.
The Convention. as indicated in the
call, will be mass Convention of the
Republican voters of the county. II
will be well. therefore, for each pre-
cinct and township to be on the look
out for bogus republicans, who will
endeavor to sneak In for the express
purpose Of creating confusion and
fomenting dissensions. Every Re-
publican in the county will be entitled
10 a voice in the Convention. and |
should be present to make his wishes
known.
At the close of the Convention
Senator Morton will be present to
furnish good and substantial reasons

tinue in the ascendency the party |

debt, having already extiUguished the

When this remonstrancs, respect
I full in language, was read. Mr.. Var
Riper-most of the remOnstrants be,
ing his own immediate constituents
moved summarily to lay it on the ia
Bile, not 50 much as giving il diGni
| fed consideration. Not content with
this, he deliberately insulted the re.
mons;rants by insinuatiDg that they
didn't know what they were about,
and had been duped BY designing men.
The sagacious Mr.. Carpenter-Who, we
believe, never pays the taxes
assessed against him. until he
can secure large reductions by
way of oompromise-also gave it
as his opinion that the petition was
gotten up for political effect. just
what political effect a petition, signed
by men of all parties could have. the
sagacious Councilman failed to ex-
plain. We ask the readers of the
JOURNAL to look over the list of
names appended to the remonstrance,
and see who it is that the young aris-
tocratic sprig from the Second Ward
so deliberately and Extensively snubs.
Is it not time for taxpayers to inquire
into the condition of things, when
respectable remonstrance against
an unlawful proceeding is treated SO
shabbily.
We have already demonstrated
that the principle of assessing real
estate beyond its cash value. for the
purpose of decreasing the rate of tax
alton, is unjust aud vicious. Such
appraisements are, to all intents and
purpose. exemptiug personal property
from its fair share of taxation. The
friends Of the present Council have
not dared to deny the correctness OF
our conclusions, while they refuse
to correct the inequality. The
gentlemen who signed the re-
monstrance, took this view of the
matter, and asked the Council, as
matter of justice to the owners of real
estate, not to insist upon its proposed
injustice. But Mr.. Van Ripper wishes
them to understand, that in the mu-
nicipality 10 which he reigns supreme.
the right of petition is not guaran
tced to his constituents. They are
to accept his DEGREES aud his actions.
as both financially and politically in
fallible. He is Sir Oracle, and when
he speaks let no dog bark.
Such, at least, is the spirit of the
proceedings of the Council on Mon
day night. We much mistake the
men who object to the summary man
ner in which they have been treated,
if they do not make Mr.. Van Ripper
hear from them in a way that will be
calculated to take some of the conceit
out of him. If they co not. they
will only demonstrate that they alto
gether deserved the treatment they
have received at his hands.

FASHION IN FUNERALS,

The New York correspondent of
the Cincinnati Chronicle gives these
funeral items:
''There is a story told of the re-
nOwned Mr.. Brown, of Grace church,
which illustrates the state Of feeling
here with regard to burials among the
class he serves:
when the war first broke out a
young gentleman said to him:
What are we to do this winter, Mr..
Brown. there will be no parties?
" Well, sir, well, was the reply, as
he affectionately patted his protuber-
ant waistcoat, we will do the best we
can. We will make the funerals as
fashionable and attractive as possible.
'At a fashionable funeral in New
York there is as much show, and as
much to be seen, as at a fashionable
party. The flowers often cost quite
as much as they do at an evening
party. Cannot afford to die in New
York; it would ruin my family to
bury me there 1 heard gentleman
say. A handsome funeral is an
event, and is talked about and dress
ed for as is handsome party, and for
the same reason one meets ones
friends there. Not long since lady,
who had been two years married,
died. She was young, handsome and
and her friends loved her.
Her parents were in moderate circum-
stances, her husband a government
clerk and getting a good salary. The
funeral was show occasion. Her
bridal dress, with its rich lace over
skirt, was produced and remodled by
q fashionable mantua- maker; this
was forced upon her cold stiff form.
A hair-dresser was procured to dress
her hair and arrange the bridal veil
and orange blossoms. Then the
corpse was placed in a magnificent !
easket, the room was decorated with |
flowers, the eostliest blossoms were |
woven into urns and wreaths, and |
crosses and anchors, and dispersed |
ibout the walls the shutters were |
closed and the gas lighted. Then the
crowds who had heard Of these prepa-

and passed in to gaze upon 4

Funeral Of Charles Dickens.
LONDON, ENGLANp. Hume

LONDON ENGLAND, JUNE IA.
At six this morning the remains of
Chas. Dickens were conveyed from
his late residence at Gadeshiu by a
train to Charing Cross station. There
waited a plain hearse without the
usual English trappings, and three
low coaches. In the first coach were
placed the children of deceased,
Charles and Harry Dickens, Miss
Dickens and Mrs Charles Collins; in
the second were Miss HaybOrth,
slster-in-law, and Mrs. Austin, sister
of Mr.. Dickens, Miss Charles Dickens
Jr., and John Forster; in the third
eoaeh were Frank Brard, Charles
Colnns, Mr. Owery, Wilkie Collins
and Edmund Dickens. The entire
party were attired in deep but simple
mourning, without bands or scarfs.
There was no crowd at the Charing
Cross station, and the procession was
driven at once to Westminster Abbey,
where the remains were received by
Dean Stanley and other officials and
placed in the poets corner at the foot
of Handel at the head of Sheridan
with Macaulay and Cumbert on either
side. The usual flowers were strewn
upon the bier. Dean Stanley read the
burial service, the coffin was deposit
ed in its final resting place, and the
funeral of Mr.. Dickens was ended.
Upon the coffin plate were inscribed
the words: "Charles Dickens, borne
February Z, 1872, died June 8, 1870"
Thousands of citizens have crowded
to the Abby during the day to see the
spot where the great novelist lies.

THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST.

i will have mercy and not sacri-
nee" There is no more interesting
study than the private tastes of our
Lord. 1t was very plain that He was
OF most winning and affectiOnate
nature. Nothing is clearer than that
He had special friends. He did not
select them because of the magnetism
of their genius, the greatness of their
powers, but simply because, far above
the rest around Him, they were Iowa
bic. Neither did He go with strictly
religious people. In this critical age,
He would have been subject to the
charge Of seeking popularity by cur
rying favor with the masses. He ut
terly refused to be a seetarian or par
tizan leader. He mingled with the
people on friendly footing, not on
a pedagogical footing. He observed
the social customs of His age. At the
same time, it is evident that there
was something fearful about Him.
de had that look of the eye, that au-
gustness which awed men. And vet
there was somethingabout Him which
attracted bad men. They came near
to Him and He entered into such So
elal relations with them as to show
them that He still recognized them to
be men among men. On these vari-
GUS grounds Christ was assailed. This
freedom of His, the Pharisees assert
ed, would let down the bounds of re-
ligion. He challenged them on this
ground, that God administers by mer-
ey, rather than by stern justice. Sac
rlhee IS the equivalent of justice. al
Will have mercy and not sacrifice"
says Jesus. 81 will have true worship
rather than saerifieial worship" God
proposes to rule this world by love ra-
ther than vengeance. He does not by
this mean TO let down the bounds of
answering for offences. He would
save by mercy, and uses mercy as an
educator. 1t was fountain of mercy
that Christ came to open.
