AUSTIN PROPERTY.

The assessment roll of Austin, ac-
cordinS to the Reveille, shows city
property to the value of 1851, S74.
Commenting on this hal paper re-
marks that ga family residence of
ordinary finish and dimensions can
not be erected here for much less
than $4,000; yet if the owner should
offer it for sale Immediately after its
completion, he would not be offered
to exceed $500. We know no reason
why this should be so, for there are
no empty houses in the town. A
family arriving here now would find
it impossible to secure acomfortable
dwelling. for there are none such to
let. Were Austin in its infancy We
might readily conclude that the fear
of a collapse was the cause ; but no
one doubts the p~ermanency of the
place. 1t has lived on its own merits
for several years and the prospects
to-day are as good as ever, and GER
tainly much better than when mere
empty lots commanded high prices.
Yet so it IS, and it is this which
makes the duties Of the Assessor EN-
Darrassing. The marketable value
Of property has generally been taken
as a basis. Had the original cost
been taken the city roll would ex-
coed II million dollars"

THE WAYS OF POLITICIANS.

The editor of the Colusa Sun evil
IDENTIFY "knows how it is himself
There is much political philosophy
in his remarks on the difficulty be-
tween Gen. Bidwell and the editor
of the new Chico paper. The Sun
says: Chalmers doubtless thinks
Sargent will win the Senatorehip,
and then he will reward all the mar
tyrs to his cause? Politicians don't
remember martyrs. They never go
to the bottom to hunt for friends,
but always take those who are on top.
They reward the prosperous men
those who are able to lend them a
hand in the fatVre-nOt those who
hare helped them. If IRE wanted to
win favor with this class we would
make ourselves powerful for t"t"'e
good or evil, and make them do the
counting instead of fawning to them
They are as apt TO take up a man
who has been against them as one
who has been for them. The crowd
of sickly, sentimental, fawning lick
spittles lever have any influence,
and therefore never get anything.
Then they whine around about the
ingratitude of this one, and become
a tool for another. only to getanother
kick. The editor must be no mans

GRANT AND THE G. A. R.


Grants office holders are not slow
at doing their masters work. While
his opponents are sleeping they are
busy. One of the evidences of their
craft has come under our observation
in the shape of two nicely-printed
circulars, evidently printed on the
government press. One of these,
neatly adorned with emblematic il
l~ustrations of commercial and agri-
cultural progress, contains the fol-
lowing: National Standard-the
Representative of the G.. \. R.-The
Soldiers friend-Gen. [. $. Grant
for 1872. Lieut.. WILDER f. Cogs-
well General Agent, Z. O. Box 80,
Washington, d. c.. Decrease of
Public Debt since March LIST. 1869,
TO Oct. LIST, 1871, S264, 799 800.
Union and Grant" The other cir
cular consists of laudations of Gen.
Grant, declaringhim the only man
in the Republican party that can
with safety be nominated to the
Presidency for the next term"-and
much Of the same sort.
We have been frequently assured
that the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie is not a political organization ;
but these documents do not confirm
it. Gen. Grants denomination is
urgedas he is the representative" of
that widespread body. and the sup
port Of its members is pledged to
that denomination. The existence
of such an organization BODIES no
/ good to the Republican party, and
still less to the country. There are
thousands of honest and independent
Republicans who Will not care to
figure on the outside merely as in
struments in the hands of a secret
society. to work and vote for nomi-
nations which they have no hand in
making. If the Republican party is
to be an immense machine run by
and in the interest of a select few-a
sort of political aristocracy behind
the scenes-the mass Of Republican
voters have but little real interest in
it, They become merely political
serfs, to spend their money, and &c
the dirty work of a cabal with whom
they are not adiudged worthy Of
personal association. Worse than
this, a country which is ruled by the
DEGREES Of a secret military organiza-
ton must soon become a Republic

EUROPEAN FINANCES.-A New York
Ijspatch of October 30th says:

Late mail advices from England
show that there is great fear OF a imam
clal crisis. Bismarck is demanding
gold for the English subscription OF
part of the French war loan. The bills
on the Bank of England are being pre-
sented; and, says the London Court
Journal, the only safety for the
amount is to decline TO discount the
bills eff Bismarck in gold, and give
him back notes of England. Nemu>t

Prussian invader who undertakes II
overthrow through the finances.
There is no such amount OF buliioh As
that which Prussia demand>of France.

public and private, in Eufope and
America, Is less than 200, 00O,0aO >ier-

The Panama Sta and Herald says:
As many of our readers will remember
q line of French steamers has long
been talked of to run along the Pacific
Coast, from Panama south. The oc-
currence of the war between France
and Germany prevented any attempts
to carry it out. We now understand
that the subject has again been reviv-
ed, and that four can are DIES
tined to begin the line in earnest,
commencing on or about the l>t of
January next. The steamers selected
are the Vile de ST. Nazaire, the Vile
de Brest. the Pacific, and the Vile de
Bordeaux.

[FRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE :.
FLORENCE, 8. O., February q.
Our town was visited last night by q severe
storm Of wind, followed by q considerable fall OF
water. The new Methodist Churca was blown
down. This was handsome edince in progress
OF construction, to which the zeal OF our .Metho-
dist friends has been fer some time devoted, and
which they would soon have completed, despite
the scarcity Of money. The community not only
feel this as public misfortune, but they keenly
sympathize with those more intimately identified
with this commendable undertaking.. But even
while contemplating this disaster, coupled WITH
the reduced condition Of our people, we can but
feel that the indomitable Chrisi ian zeal and
energy of our Methodist friends will yet rear q
house Of worship upon the spot where now their
church lies In ruins. Several small buildings
were unroofsd snd:s great deal, of fencing was
blown down.
Our community Is quiet and business very dull
The planters are 'busily preparing for another
crop. Most Of them seem now convinced that
three millions OF bales OF cotton will yield as
much money as five millions, and that the labor
expended IN making the improbable surplus Of
two Millions would be better expended in max:
ing. more provisions, thus by decreasing
their demands, enabling them to com.
mand more money. Whether they will act upon
this remains to be seen.
We have had some robberies and incendiary
fires in our vicinity as r other parts Of the State
too free use Of cheap and poisonous liquor has
much to do with all our troubles in the opinion
Of the most observant.
The Northeastern Railroad shops are the main
centre of life and activity, at present, Of our town.
From the machine shops, under Captain Dan'l. W.
Haines, msster.machinist, are sent out the hand
