The $4,000 Assessment EXtOr-
ton.

Now, will the Pilot give a specimen of its
pleading in explanation OF the fact that on
apropeIty valuation OF $lS0,0OO,00O the COM
mission Tor assessing is put down AT $110,-
100, (See Musgrove's report) whereas on a
property valuation of $600,00OOO0, before
the war the commissions for assessing did
not exceed 100000. (See Auditors sundFy
reports for the years lS4S TO lS6l.-Clarion.
Is, we can answer why it is so. Under
the ola regime the counties paid the assessors
except tritilng part of their compensation
which was chargeabie to the State.-Pilot
Now, behold how the carpet-baggers'

mulated load of the crimes of its party,

self deeper in the mire.
EXTRACT FROM CODE OF 81, P. Il.
Every Assessor shall be entitled to receive
rem the State Treasury as compensation for
ms services, five per cent. on the amount of
the State tax contained in his assessment.
payable when duly certified copy of his
assessment roll shall have been deposited in
the Office of the Auditor; provided such
compensation shall not be less than 500, nor
more than $500 in any year.
The question, then, propounded in our
inquiry remains unanswered. The facts
are irrefutable and conclusive of the
Wholesale system of plundering by the
party in power. The case cited is simply
one example among many others.

We extract the above from a communion

(which is the nom. de plume of a scholar and

The extract to which the Times refers
is as follows. 1t is worthy of place on
all the Conservative banners in the pres

usurpers who, again relying on the agen-

are ruling and running with high hand

rescue the State from the plunderers now in

every man may strive with good cheer to
improve his condition and accumulate with
confidence.

CLIMBING CREASED PoLE.-The clos

lars in silver, and three others worth ten
dollars each. Competitors will draw for

I'm peace prepare for war; :" so, in summer
it is well to prepare for winter. Such was
the evident desire and intent of one of the
wards of the Nation, Dan. Adams by name,
who last Monday morning stole q gentle
mans valise from the baggage-rOOm at the
depot, or perhaps Daniel desired TO make a
good appearance in the coming canvass, in
which he is prospective candidate for the
Legislature; or yet, possibly he was not in
funds to purchase clothes to make a respect
able appearance as presiding officer of the
Jackson Republican club, of which be is LIST
Vice President and which Club meets to-
morrow evening. The race has now narrow
ed down to the Legislature and State Prison,
and bets are offered, two TO one, that the
State prison gets him. The testimony OF
two very intelligent eolored men, Fields
Foster and Andrew Hall, who saw Dan take
the valise, followed him and brought it back
from where he hid it, was so very pointed
that Dan offered no word of defense.

Or. Compton, the editor of the Leader
