The mystery of the case is to
know how the Grand il ry found the

The Concert Last Night.

The Opera House was more crowded
last night than it ever was Oh
any similar occasion, and the audience
was one of which Evansville may be
justly proud.
The exhibition was. as the JOURNAL
had repeatedly assured the public it
would be, splendid affair, meriting
all praise.
Where so many did well, it would
be difficult, in the room that can be
devoted to a review. to name each per-
former, but a report would be
incomplete without mentioning Miss
Schmid. Professors Matthias ard
Bukowitz and Mr.. Henry Schafer, whO
contributed SO much to the success of
the concert. while the singing of the
Liederkranz was. as it always is,splen-
did.
The part taken By the TayRverein
deserves especial mention, their per-
Torrance being something not often
seen outside of circus. Their pyra-
mid building. tumbling and turning
performances would do credit to pro-
fessional gymnasts, whereas they are
all young workingmen, who practice
turning for pastime. as others prac-
tice base ball.
If the German army is composed OF
such material, its success is not to be
wondered at.
We are happy to say that the con-
cert was a most brilliant success.

49, TAXEs.
A list Of Real Estate assessments.
How Van Ripper PepIemish-
es the City Treasury


The attention of the public having
been directed by the communication
of Sixth Ward Democrat" to the
exorbitant and unjust taxation OF
Lamasco real estate, we have thought
it matter of sufficient interest to our
readers to investigate the official
records to ascertain whether Lamasco
alone was likely to suffer by the reap
praisement just fixed By the Clty
Council. Accordingly we caused an
examination to be made yesterday, of
the Assessors books in the upper
part of the city, and the figures which
we publish below will show that La
masco is not the only section which
will be made to feel the burdens of
excessive appraisement,
We give below list of the owners
of lots on First Street, commencing
at the limit of the Upper Enlarge
ment and coming down in order to
Locust Street, annexing the assessed
value of the real estate, aoithsut I'M
prorements, in 1869, and the new APP
praisement just fixed by the Council
for 1870. The order in which the
names appear will indicate the part of
the city in which the lots are located.
It will be remembered that great
complaint was made last year at what
was alleged as an excessive assess
ment. An inspection of the figures
below will show that the present
Council propose to add from forty to
seventy JfUs per cent. to the as
sessed values of last year! We do not
have space in one column to give q
contrast of the values of improve
ments Of 1869, and the proposed as
sessments of 1870, nor the values fixed
by the Assessors. An examination OF
the Assessors books, however, will
show that the improvements. which
one would naturally suppose were de-
creasing in vGlue with each year, have
also been, in almost every instance
largely increased; even frame houses
which were built forty years ago. and
almost ready to fall down with age
and decay, have actually been increas-
ed from five hundred to one thousand
dollars. And almost invariably the
values fixed by the Assessors have
been increased, and in many cases over
fifty per cent. clearly showing that the
work of the Council has not been, as
the law requires it to be, an equalixa-
ton but a re assessment almost IN toto.
It will be borne in mind that the
prices fixed below. opposite the
names Of owners, are only the naked
values assessed on the real estate, ex
elusive of the improvements. The
Council has, in an obscure manner,
advertised that they will commence
this morning to receive and act upon
all complaints which may be made
against the assessment fixed by that
body. IF any of the tax payers nam
ed below. or others, feel agrieved, it
will be their duty to appear in per
son, or instrument in writing, against
the assessments, and ask for a reduc-
ton.

COUNCIL MATTERs.-In the session
