The Assessment Of Buchanan County
FOR 1871.

| EDITOR BULLETIN-The public will
doubtless be interested to hear something
about the assessment of the county for
the year 1871, especially as this is the
year for the assessment of real as we'll as
personal property. The valuation of
real property was left almost wholly to
the judgments of the Assessors Very
naturally, the opinions of seventeen As
SCISSORS diff red widely from the assessa-
bic value of realty in the several town
ships, and the Board of Supervisors at
their recent session found it necessary to
increase the valuation Of lands in eleven
townships and to decrease it in one
township, in order to so equalize the
basis of taxation that each township
should bear its equitable share of the
burden. The percentage of increase was
given in the proceedings of the Board,
published last week. The percentage in
Middlefield should have been given at
taoenty instead of thirty, and in Perry at
twenty-five instead of thirty.
As equalized by the Board, the valua-
ton of lands in the several townships
stands a O f,lIouo

EGGS AND BUTTER.-We took a look
through Palmer s. Holcomb's egg and
butter depot, under the Post Office, the
other day, and found their spacious
premises almost filed with the accumula-
tons of the spring. They inform us that
their receipts of butter and eggs for the
present season are already more than
during the whole of last season. Our
friends in the country would do well to
note that they are prepared to pay the
highest market price in cash for any
quantity of the above articles which may
be brought them.

A WORD TO REPUBLICANs-Our Re
publican readers are aware that upon the
next Legislature devolves the duty of
electing a United States Senator to sue
coed Mr. Harlan. They will also see that
in the selection of the members of the
Legislature, this Senatorial question will
necessarily have great bearing and influ-
ence We assume that nine tenths of the
Republicans of Buchanan county have a
decided preference for Mr.. Allison over
JAS. Harlan for U. S. Senator, and yet I'm.
less they are careful and vigilant their
wishes may be defeated, and their be-
hests disregarded 1t is possible, nay
probable that men will be presented fol
legislative positions, whose friends will
preserve discreet silence regarding thei
Senatorial preferences, hoping to tid'
them into Office without question of thei
position in this regard. What we hav'
to say to the Republicans of Buchanan
county is, not to take anything for grant
cd in the matter. TO all who may ap
proach you seeking your influence to sc
cure the nomination of this man or tina
for legislative office, make demand 70
the candidates status on the question G
L. S. Senator. and if his preferences d
not accord with yours, or if he evade
the ISSUE just evade him, and tie to tn
candidate who does represent you. SUI
fer no evasion to mislead you. Kno'
Just where men stand on this ana
other vital questions, and nominate on
such as will carry out your wishes
