THERE seems to be little room to doubt
that some American bishop will be elected
Cardinal. The contest is said to be between
McCluskey, Spalding, Purcell, and Kenrick.
with the chances in favor of Archbishop
Spalding. Archbishop Kenrick, of St. Louis,
is said to have "laid himself out" in regular
Western stump-oratory style, with an eye on

AUGUSTA ITEMs.-Our Augusta correspon-
dent "Nolo," writes that the Cumberland del
egation has been appealed to by gentlemen
from this vicinity to have the salary of the
Cumberland County Commissioners raised
from $500 to $1,000. ........
The same correspondent adds:
In my last gave some of the different
methods OF valuation in York and Cumber-
land. In PeDobscot one town returns horses
at s2l661; oxen, $129s6; cows, 500. Anoth-
er on cash value for making taxes, returns
horses, 1892; oxen, SPAS; cows, SIS. To
equalize the property of the State with such
valuation, it will be perceived, requires long
and patient investigation and comparison. To
get at this matter the committee average all
the stock in the State, make standard, and
bring up or down, as the case may be, with
such variations as locality or difference in
quality may indicate. The same principle is
being applied, to all other property where it
can be. un ierstand the report of the COM
missioner is expected the last of this month
or first of March.
