EQUALIZATION OF TAXES.

somewhat german to the subject Of immi-
grafton. He says we have not now cor
rect assessment, neither is the assessment in
conformity with the constitution, which
SAYS that "taxation shall be equal and
uniform, and all property, both real and
personal, shall be taxed in proportion to its
value.0 He recommends the organization
of board of equalization of taxes. Ii
such board be promptly organized, it can
complete its labors and report to the audi
tor in ample time to prevent any delay in
the levy and collection of taxes upon real
estate for the coming year."
CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.
The institutions for the deaf, dumb and
blind are in most satisfactory condition.
The Governor recommends an appropria-
ton to provide heating apparatus for one of
these institutions, and that no appropria-
ton be made for further enlargements.
PENITENTIARY.
The Governor indorses the recommenda-
ton of the prison board and superintendent
for the extension of the prison accommoda-
tions. He recommends the abolition of
the office of general agent of the peniten-
tiary, and the degolving of his duties upon
the superintendent, who, instead of sala-
ry Of s2 900 year, as at present, shall re-
| ceive five per centum commission upon all
sales of articles manufactured in his de-
partment, and no other compensation.
EDUCATION, &C.
| The Governor recommends the amend
ment of the constitution so as to impose a
capitation tax of 50, in lieu of the present
per capita tax Of 81 and the property tax,
to be devoted exclusively to the support
and maintenance of our present school sys.
tenn, and prohibit any and every citizen
from voting at any election who does not
pay this tax.
In connection with the subject of educa
ton. he recommends that.the Congressional
land scrip held by the State be converted
into State bonds or other six per cent. in.
terest paying securities, and the division o
the fund between one of oul
present institutions of learning, and col
iege or high school for the education of ou
coiered people. He deprecates mixet
schools. and SAYS the interests of the colore(
people themselves demand that they SHOULD

The Lost Cause Repudiated by the De-

The Democratic Resident Committee assembled
here to-day. The only members present were Con.
gresham Randall, OF Pennsylvania, Chairman
Slocum, OF New York; Eldridge, OF Wisconsin, and
eX-member Of Congress Bixby Smith, OF Virginia.
The balance OF the committee are expected here in
a few days, but the gathering at this time OF the
representative members Is entirely attributed to the
publication In the HERALD OF the document en-
Titled Concession; or how the Independence Of
the South was Lost and Might be WOn." The
members OF that committee were exceedingly
wroth that such o publication should have been
made, and finding that 1t had gained general crcu.
lation through the HERALD. The Recording Secre-
tary here notified the committee that something
must be done 10 cOunteract the influence OF the
partisan dispatches 1t appears, however, that the
document In que stion which has FASTENED the as
semblage OF the Democratic Committee, was o deep
plotted scheme on their part to give currency to the
idea that the cOnspirators In the rebellion were
foremost in the effort to defeat the republican
nominee OF the next National Republican Conven.
ton. Without doubt the democrats feel that they
have been sorely aggrieved, but the National Com.
mitee are puzzled TO give their reasons. Hoping
TO counteract the effects OF the publication or this
manifesto by the Southern Association, tho CON-
mittee nave issued the following card:-

to denOunCe the same as fraud and the sentt-
ments therein expressed as antag0nlstic to the
principles and purposes OF the democratic party.
Further, this committee are OF the unanimous
opinion that the same originated from u radical
source, with the intention TO deceive the people and
prejudice them against the only party which can
