The chief Executive officers of the two
greatest States of the Union have regis
tered their emphatic protests against the
Administration policy of employing fed
eral troops to regulate and control cleo
tons. Said Gov. Hoffman, speaking for
the people of New York: ''To surren-
'der elections to the control of the Presi-
"dent, supported by an armed force, Is to
surrender liberty and to abandon Re
"public."
This expression of Gov. Hoffman was
answered by the organs of the Admins
tration, its lacqueys and pensioners, with
derision, and scofed as the outcroppings
of the spirit of copperheadism which gave
aid and countenance to the South in her
struggle for independence.
But the protest from Pennsylvania has
piled the echoes of the Administration
with amazement. 1t emanates from
Gov. Geary member of the political
household of Grant. 1t looks like tear
ing down the very pillars on which the
Administration rests. If Geary cannot
consent to its usurpations of authority,
who can? The following is an extract
from his message of January 4:
The employment OF United
States Troops at elections, with,
out the consent of the local and
State Governments, has recently received
| considerable attention and apprehension
| 1t is regarded as AN interference with the
| sovereign rights of the States which was
not contemplated by the founders of the
General Government and if persisted in
must lead to results disastrous TO peace an0
/ harmony. The practice is one SO serious ia
! its character and so injurious in its tenden-
eies as to merit prompt consideration ano
decisive action, not only by the General
Assembly but by Congress. One OF the
complaints of the colonists against the Brit
/ ish king was the oppression growing out o.
/ the assumption of this power. They saiC
that he kept among us in times OF peace
I standing armies without the consent of oul
Legislatures, and what Is especially peril
nent TO the case in point he has affected Il
render the military independent of, anc
superior to, the civil power.
At the last October elections, United
| States troops were stationed in Philadel
| phia, for the avowed purpose OF enforcing
the election laws. This was done without
the consent or even the knowledge, of thC
civil authorities of either the city or th'
State, and without any expressed desire or
the part of the citizens, and as far as can be-
! aseertained, without existing necessity
From a conscientious conviction OF Its ln-
portance | have called your attention t.
this subject A neglect TO have done il
| might have been construed as an indorse-
ment of measure that meets my unquali-
| fled diSapprOval.

The Revenue ton of
Property.

The Senatobia Times asks eff the Board
E'of Supervisors have a right to put
''what valuation. they please ON land" for
the collection of taxes. 1t states that in
many instances in that (DeSoto) county,
it has raised the valuation fixed by the
owners, and intimates that fabulous
values are assumed for personal gain.
We are not surprised by this statement
The Board of Supervisors were general
ly appointed, not with reference to their
standing in the communities in which
they lived, nor their capacity, but to
political considerations and the entire
Republican party is ring organized for
the purpose of collecting the largest sums
possible from the people, and dividing
them among its leading members who
are in possession of the various offices,
many of which were created especially
for the benefit of the ravenous spoilsmen.
The Revenue law is a wicked invention
to facilitate this leading purpose of the
usurpers.
The third section requires the Assessor
''to interrugate each taxpayer under
"oath concerning the character, quality
"and value of his property" and pre-
scribes a penalty for refusal to answer
such interrogations. 1t further provides
that the Supervisors shall constitute a
board Ito equalize the valuation of the
real and personal property of the
County" And adds:
First. They shall add to the aggregate
valuation of the real estate and personal
property of each tax payer in the county,
which they shall believe to be valued below
its proper valuation, such per centum in
each case. as will raise the same to its pro-
per valuation.
Second. They shall deduct from the ag-
gregate valuation of the real estate and per-
sOnal property of each taxpayer in the
county, " hich they shall believe TO be valued
above its proper valuation. such per centum
in each case as will reduce the same to its
proper valuation. And any parsOn who
may feel aagrieved at anything in the as
eessmsnt Of his property. may appear be- |
fore the Board Of Equalization, either in |
persom or by agent, and have the same cer-
rected in such manner IS 10 said Board shall |
appear just and equitable, and from the de-
cision OF the Board there shah be no appeal. |
! The law opens the door to extor-

ton and fraud. Under these clauses
the action complained Of BY the SEN
atobia Times, has been taken 1t viii
be seen that the clause authorizing
the Assessor to require the owner to value
his property under oath, and affixing a
penalty for his refusal to comply, is
mockery. The power Is lodged with the
Supervisors to set aside the valuation of
the taxpayer, who is presumed to have
better knowledge than others of the
worth of his land, and is liable to DANA
ges If he mis-states it; and from their de-
cision, no matter how arbitrary and
oppressive, there "shall be no appeal
No penalties are prescribed for their
wrong-dorng, and the innocent and out
ragged taxpayer is left without a remedy.
Such are the beauties of Radical legis-
-lation,

indeed, TO a great extent, (some at least
may,) taking part in the struggle of life,

open profession, or the not less intense
pursuit Of some worthy object Of study.
But by what seems to be a Just and whole

Gen. Flournoy asks us to state candid

their course generally, we would decide
that both are wrong, except in the judg-
