The UNIVERSITY BOAT RAcE.-The great
boat race between the Oxford and Cambridge
crews came off in the Thames on Saturday
morning. The race course was the same as
that which has been used for the purpose in
former years. Early in tie morning, almost
before daybreak, the banks of the river were
alive with spectators, and every available foot
of space was occupied The surface of the
river was dotted for miles with variety of
craft, both sail boats and steamers, packed with
sight seers and sporting men. During the past
week the betting among sporting circles has
been heavy in favor of Cambridge, and this
feeling was in nowise lessened that morning
The race came off earlier in the day than usual
owing to the condition of the tide, which
was at its highest point during the forenoon
AS the boats swept past the spectators all
along the course from Putney to MOrtlake,
they were cheered with the most intense and
eager excitement. The scene on the river it.
self was beyond description. Closing up on
the rear of tie University boats as they passed,
the numerous craft kept up general race to
the end of the course The Cambridge men
came in winners by short distance. AS they
rowed up to the winning point simultaneous
and deafening cheer arose from both sides of
the river. The Oxfords we've also cheered for
the spirit they had shown throughout the con-
test. Cambridge won the race last year, the
first time since 1860.

That all property owned or held
for pecuniary profit should bear Il
fair and, as nearly rs practicable, an
equitable share of the burdens of tax
alton, is q proposition 50 inaniiestIy
correct and just, that it may he re-
garded as an axiom Of political econ
omy. Both political parties in this
State, in their latest platforms, have
affirmed this principle as clearly and
unquestionably applicable to the
property Of railroad corporations.
And there can he little, If any, doubt
that the public sentiment OF the peo-
pie Of the State endorses this express
sion of their party platforms, and ex-
poets the General Assembly to en-
body it in general law.
But while there is practical unan-
unity i'm regard to the principle
which should govern the taxation OF
railroad property, there is quite di-
versity OF opinion as to the mode OF
taxation. Notwithstanding our
present Constitutions adopted, by
the way, before there were scarcely
an hundred miles Of railway track in
the State,-providestbat the property
of corporations for pecuniary profit
shall be taxed the same AS that OF IN.
dividuals, the railroads have always
been taxed upon their gross receipts,
and not upon the value OF the prop
crty. Until 1870 the tax was nearly
nominal, being only one per cent. on
gross receipts. Tho law now in force
is more reasonable. The scale OF
taxation is sliding one, and intend
ed TO discriminate In favor Of the
newer and weaker roads. The tax
now levied on the gross receipts is
one Der cent. on the first $1,000 or
under per mile; two per cent. on the
amount between $1,000 and $1,000
per mile, and three per cent. on the
excess over 5000 per mile.
This law, with the recent decision
Of the Supreme Court, which virtu-
ally authorizes the taxation Of rail-
road property within city limits for
municipal purposes, Is not 50. bad as

wears. The deceased was an iilegiti-
mate child OF Old Hickory Democra-
cy. The mother was a harIot Of the
Southern States, and the father was
n DoughEace Of the North. The bas-
tard clung to the family name with a
death-like grip, and received caress-
es and support from thousands, for
many long years, on account OF its
name, and who were deceived by ita
persistent claims Of being a regular
descendant from Old Hickory. Its
first work was the passage Of the
Fugitive Slave Law, by which ev-
cry Northern freeman was converted
into asIave catcher. Itssecond grand
achievement was the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise line. Its third
exploit was the Organization of a
Border Ruflian Band, whose mission
it was to force slavery on Kansas.
Its fourth degree was taken when IT
refused TO submit to the will Of the
majority consti tutionally expressed
at the ballot-box in 1860, and its Or
ganization Of armed rebellion, with
all the barbarities Of a four years
bloody war. It's fifth step was the

was its organization of Kuklux
band in the South for the purpose OF
gaining by terrorism what it lost By
rebellion. And its eighth and last
crime was it's wholesale and
unheard-of robbery in the city Of
New York. This poor creature, du-
ring its lifetime, worked irreparable
injury to the Union, the Constitution
and the Laws. BY means of its i'll
gotten gains it was enabled to pro-
long its existence for n number Of
years. 1t was seriously sickened In
1860, and many thought it would
then die; but its mother still kept
life in It's debauched carcass by means
of large doses Of an article called
Prejudice, manufactured out of aho-
litionism and social equality, Gun
ningly and adroitly administered.
However, it got terrible blow at
an engagement at AppomatoS Court
House, in Virginia, in 1865, and
would have expired shortly there
after, had not new doctor risen up,
who administered dose of "My
Policy" to it. That kept the sickly
creature alive until the 4th Of March,
1859. Since that date it has been
gradually sinking, and in fact, has
been growing more and more otlens-
i've every day, until at last its very
presence created ALARM for public
safety. Its very breath was pollu-
ton and its touch became political
death. 1t was taken under the care
of a new set of doctors last spring, IN
the hope that change Of treatment
knight perchauce save itslife. How
ever, il was not long thereafter until
the bantiing was found to be IN

with lock jaw, and in less than three
months it was found that 1t was
