e,i in goods, lists it at their average
meathly value, and the man whose
means are locked up in real estate
should do no less. The farmers in
veatment in lands for tillage, is like
the merchants investment in goods
both are made q source of profit
from which competency and wealth
are derived, by the manipulatiops Of
either. If lands are purchased "on
speculation" or as a "safe invest
ment," they are in reality no differ
ent from the Bankers stocks, bought
on expectation of rise" and re
quired to be listed. Then why the
diserimination2 Even if listed ut
or near its present value, long ere
the ten years occurring before a new
appraisement will take place, it will
have increased in value many fold,
and scarce bear an iota of its real
portion of the expenses of State.
Much of this property, too, is of the
most productive kind, consisting Of
business houses, stores, etc, which
during the past decade have, in many
instances, been taxed on basis
scarcely equal to the yearly rental
derived from the investments. 1t
has been so in this city, and if we
are correctly informed it viii be but
little different during the next de-
cade. The property along Front
street has been reduced one kaRdred
fifty thousand dollars, from the as
sessment returned-an average of
over $4,000 upon each separate store
building between State and Garrison
streets-and on property too, which
a half million would not purchase.
Is it any wonder that those whose
property consists la personals should
sometimes scheme to avoid paying
taxes on the full amount of their
personal property, when they see
their neighbor's property taxed at
less than half-many times less than
-third-its money value, as sale
able property runs. And now under
the new appraisment, when there is
an opportunity Of obtaining neerly
an equal share of taxes from that
species of property, not only are To-
cal bonds of equalization influenced
to reduce assessments on real pro-
perty-and especially the kind
above referred to-but the Legisla-
ture steps in to instruct the State
Board of Equalization to reduce the
assessment $2O0,OOO,OOO, that real
property may escape and personal
still bear its greater proportion of
taxation. But it is urged that the
tax duplicate viii be too heavy. Not
at all. You cannot make its weight
so heavy that you cannot, by redue-
ing the per cent Of levy, raise just
the amount of taxes necessary for
the expenses of government, and no
more. We trust our Representatives
will give this matter their attention
if not too late, and endeavor to have
equal and exact justice done to all
citizens, while they see that fayorit-
ism is not accorded to any.

This morning the remains of Col,
Young we're conveyed to the depot,
accompanied by the Governor, Off
GERS of the State, and both Houses
of the General Assembly, in process
sion, with citizens and strangers.
For this purpose the Assembly adj
journed until Tuesday next.
No legislation of general import
ance has been completed this week.
Many bills have been introduced and
referred to appropriate Committees,
where they are under consideration.
OF these bills it may be said ''many
are called but few are chosen" The
death of Col. Young leaves the
House a tie on political issues.
Good sleighing abounds in Colum-
bus, and the merry sleighingl bells
night and day, and the white robed
earth, gives notice that winter reigns
in his cold and icy splendor.

THE WAR
PARIS CAPITULATES
OFFICIAL DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, January 29.-Secretary Fish
has received the following telegram from Mr..
Moran, Charge d'Affairs at London, dated Lon
don, Sunday morning, January Goth.
"The German Embassador here has official
ly informed me that the capitulation OF all the
Paris forts, and that an armistice of three
weeks by land and sea was signed about eight
o'clock last evening at Versailles, by Count
Bismarck and Jules Favre. The army of Par
is will remain prisoners of war in the CITY,
it is not known whether they are to be disarni-
ed or not. No details have yet been received
Count Bernstoff thinks it an important fact
that the armistice extends ovJr the sea, and
that it should be made known as widely as
possible"
VERSAILLES, Sunday, January 29th.-The
Germans occupied the forts around Paris at
ten o'clock this morning The entire garrison
of Paris, except the national guard, surrender
cd their arms. The armistice expires on the
10Th of February.
The oapitulation and arInistioe settles moth
ing politically, nor do they assure an end of
war All depends on the assembly. Tonight
there is an intense excitement among the
French in London.
VERSAILLES, January 2j.-The terms of
peace offered by Bismarck to the French na-
lion, are as follows;

PARIS FALLEN.-Thenews brought
by the cable on Sunday announced
the fall of the city of Paris, the sur
render of its forts and of the army
under General Trochu. An armis-
tice ofthree weeks over land and sea,
has been agreed upon, during which
time each party viii retain its present
positions, except that the Prussians
occupy the forts about Paris, which
is to be re-victualed at once. The
people are said to have been reduced
to pitiable plight, and to have been
suffering much from famine. An E.
lection was to take place and a meet
ing ofthe deputies at Bordeaux to
decide upon the question of war or
peace. The. fall Of Paris is regarded
generally as the last act in the dread
drama, and that peace viii succeed,
although it is not improbable bad
counsel may prevail,and the"dance of
blood'' be resumed.

Tl6itoriai Convention for le7l

There seems 80 be . somewhat general agl-
tation OF the question as to where the Editorial
Convention for 1871 shall be held. The only
place yet named, 90 far as we have observed, Is
Akron, the "Twin City" of Springfield, where
the editors OF Ohio had such glorious time a
year ago. In response to this general verdict
Of aLet's 20 to Akron" we say "Come on"
aAkron Is adequate for the occasion" In the
report of the proceedings Of our city council,
last evening, which we pabhah in another
column, it will be seen that our good City
Fathers, have extended an official invitation
20 the fraternity to hold the convention in ehis
city. This means that all proper means will
be taken for both the ''enterialnment" and the
Gprotection" of any number Of the brethren
that may honor the city with their presence,
OF in other words, that We VIII use our best
endeavors to demonstrate to the assembled
wisdom Of Ohio, that Akron is indeed
'live city" What say you brethren, will you
come to Akron Beacon.
If there is to be a reunion of
the craft this year, there is no place
in Ohio where they would meet a
warmer or more cordial reception, we
know, than at Akron. It is a live
town, full Of live people, and like all
such towns is willing TO entertain
strangers without taking them in"
And what is more, they have a live
"Daily," there, whose editors will
spare no pains to see that the invita-
tion Of the city fathers is carried out
IN The liberal spirit in which 1t is ex-
tended. We vote for Akron.
