Taken altogether the rate of in
Grease is over one hundred per cent.
Taken separately, while some Of the
townships show an increase Of con-
siderably over 100. per cent. the
aggregate increase in the townships
is only about 80 per cent. We con
clude therefore that the result reach
ed was as nearly equitable as might
he. The action Of the State Board
In increasing the appraisement of the
county y per cent, may result in an
increase of the city appraiscment.
I. Neither ofthe towns named are
properly comparable. Massillon al
though on an east and west thorough
fare, is not the center of the busi-
ness Of the county. Neither Mt.
Vernon or Tifin, have an eastern
outlet, and both are in counties
which have lost population during
the past decade. A declining mar
ket has depressing effect upon pri-
ces. The State Bosrd has added Is
per cent to the Mt. Vernon valuation
and will no doubt add as heavy per
cent TO Tifin, when it comes before
them.
2. The above table win give an ap-
prOximate idea.
3&4. We referred to Front street
alone, and not to the entire business
property. Where property was
found appraised above its saleable
value, the Board did its duty in re
dueing with a view to equalization
The general reductions It now ap-
pears we're made by the Assessor,
before tie work ofthe Board com
menced.
.. The pnOduetiveness of property
ueually determines its cash value.
10. The valuation of Clyde has
been increased about 500 per cent.
Bellevue 800 per cent, Neither the
population of Clyde of Bellevue has
increased in the same ratio with the
increase in valuation, and either
might enter the same plea.
There are other circumstances
aside from population which aid
in determining values. If that
were the rule alone, we fear our city
would be mere heavily affected. The
census shows an increase, in the last
decade, 4,4O3. Ofthis increase our
city hiss obtained about one half. It
would not do to say, therefore, that
our city should show as much in
crease as the balance of the county.
Our opinion of the proposed $780,
0000o0 reduction has been express
ed before. Even a fictitious value is
not unjust SO long as it is equitable,
and the State Board, so far, have
proceeded with their work solely
with the view, to equalizatinn. We
object, hove yer, to placing a power
in their hands which may allow of
discrimination, and we are pleased TO
see that the matter is undergoing
more inquiry in the Senate than it
at first promised 10 receive.

Of both political parties, that no

creased about sixty per eent;-in the
same time our real estate valuation
has more than doubled. This shows
eonelusiuely that It is 10 high, for
we have edded no manufacturing or
other establishments to give as any
more increase Of value than the ma
tarRl advance creasing from the ad-
ded population. The State Board
are right when they say that real es-
tnte Is still valued at the fictitious
prices Of the war period; hence they
ask leave to reduce the value of real
estate $500, ,0e0, 600, in the State. If
any man thinks the present prices
ofreal estate are not too high, let
him try to sell q business building,

not, he will hear something drop.

In our article in relation 70 the

Tho Commission Btlls-suspIcious LEGISLATION.
Special Despatch to the Evening Telegraph.
HARRISBURG, March 14.-At the hour of ad-
journment Il o'clock, new feature has ap-
peared in the course of the Commission bills.
AS already telegraphed, they were ordered, by
unanimous vote OF the Committee on Municipal
Corporations, to be reported negatively.
After this action was taken the bills were dis
tributed among the different members of the
committee to be by them reported at the proper
time in accordance with the instructions of the
committee; but 1t must be understood that the
bills have not yet been absolutely reported. If
it should happen that either accident or design
prevents the bills from being reported, it will
be within the power of simple majority of the
House to take up the bills and pass them after
they have laid for ten days in committee. Under
this phase these bills are not yet absolutely
killed.
TIt is tolerably certain from the above that
our noble legislators are playing little game
with the public. The bills will undoubtedly
come before the House in regular shape, and
will as undoubtedly be passed if the citizens of
Philadelphia do not make themselves heard in
an Enthusiastically emphatic manner on the sub
ject. The Harrisburg dispatches of to-day will
furnish fruitful subject for the orators to dis
course upon at the indignation meeting this
evening. EVENING TELEGRAPH

WASHINGTON, March lathe Republican
Caucus Committee of the two houses held an
other meeting this morning for the purpose of
perfecting bill for the suppression of the Ku-
klux. The committee was not harmonious,
several members of it opposing that feature of
the proposed bill which gives the President
power to enforce the orders of the United States
Courts by employing the army and navy. 1t
was agreed by ajority to submit the bill to
the Republican caucus before reporting it to
either house for action. The Senate will adjourn
early this afternoon and go into caucus. The
House will hold caucus this evening.
The Main Feature of the Bill
is that all evasions of or offenses against the
fourteenth amendment are hereafter to be con-
sidered crimes against the laws of the United
States punishable by United States courts.
Where civil process is obstructed the President
is authorized to enforce the mandate of the
court with the military and naval power of the
Government.
The Fourteenth Amendment
is construed as guaranteeing protection to life
and property to citizens of the United States in
the several States. This it is believed, will
cover the case of the Ku-klux and make them
amenable under the bill.
The Foreign Relations Committee
of the Senate organized to-day, and Mr.. Came
ron declared his intention not to resign at
present. With the exception of few treaties
there is nothing important before the committee
requiring action at the present session.

met this morning and directed Mr.. Sherman to
report several bills which failed at the last
session. Among them is a bill authorizing the
national banks to issue new notes for mutilated
notes.
