COUNTY TAxEs.-A few days. ago We
noticed the official report Of the Terri
tolial Treasurer in which King County
is charged with a delinquency of S1,4S2
50, exclusive of the assessment of 1872,
which is Sc, $40 so. The Haieiii9elcer
presents figures to show that this coun-
ty is not indebted to the Territory at all.
as stated. No doubt the Treasurer S
books show there is balance due as
yet, when settlement is
had between tile county and Territory.
it will then be found that that balance
which now appears against us will be
by the following credits, etc.
etc.
We are willing to accept this expiana-
ton as official coming as it does through
the official organ. But VIC are still ct
loss to comprehend how "this county is
not indebted to the Territory at all, as
stated" and that 1.-THE Treasurer books
show there is balance due, as mention-
ed" We certainly stated no more than
was mentioned. and for stating what
was mentioned, we are accused of IMAM
facts.' If the county has a
legal offset to the amount with which it
stands charged, Why has settlement
been delayed for year, making false
showing both in the county and Terri
torlal Treasury ? When our county is
published as delinquent. the taxpayers
have a right to know the reason; though
our county officials resent as Il personal
affront every inquiry into their official
acts.

HAVING Coop TIME.--The last time
we met Mr.. Greeley, he remarked that
from the time we had parted in New
York, more than thirty years before, he
had not had one whole day of relaxation
from labor, and that he could II imaSS-
inc any greater enjoyment in life than
day free from care and toll, lying upon
sofa and reading a novel. The super
fetal idler who affects to ridicule what
Mr.. Greeley knows would be utter
ly incapable of maintaining for IL month
the intellectual labor which he has i'll
cessantly kept up Tor more tkan half Il
century, and the wisest as well as the
most simple have protited by his labois.
He is now enjoying the first relaxation
OF his life, and r'nny .wonld think his
present labors "A very onerous tax upon
mind and body, but We can understand
that he regards it as having a good time
and enjoys it with keen zest.

A recent number of Appleton's jour
nal containes an amusing article on the
subject Of horseback riding among la
dies, in which the writer advocates the
entire abolition of the side saddle and
the adoption, by ladies', of the custom
of riding astride. Anne of Bohemia,
corsort of King Richard II, of England,
is said to have first introduced the GUS
tom of ladies riding sideways III Europe,
which since her time has been almost
universally followed. In Sicily, howev-
er, it appears that even in moddern
INES the ladies adhere to the ancient
mode Of riding astride, and among the
Tartar women, and also those of Peru
the practice is maintained. The Bloom
Ell costume is recommended by the writer
as the most appropriate dress for ladies
who desire to venture upon the new
mode of riding.

EElToR DISPATCH:
Dear Sir:-I am glad to find, in your
paper of last Thursday, an expose OF the
transactions of the ring of official plum
derers in your county, rs l am myself
one of the victims of the school tax op-
eratiou. Ii seems strange that these
things can be carrie on so unllushlnS
~ and the perpetrators not receive the
summary punishment they SO richly de-
serve.
What is true about it in King County is
equally applicable to taxes in jefferson
conntv, where like combination seem
to exist ard where every opportunity is
taken to get the extra amount; thus in
one case where the taxes amounted to
50 80 the charges for advertising it
amounted to $5,42 and where the des-
cription OF the land did not amount to
more than one line. l hope your laud
able efforts may put stop to these ras-
cally transactions. SUBSCRIBER.

MI. Greeley's Nomination.

The committee appoin ted by the Balti-
more Convention to announce to Mr..
Greeley his nomination, assembled at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, yester-
day, every member being present. Soon
after twelve o'clock the committee pro-
ceeded to the Lincoln Club Room to meet
Mr.. Greeley, who was present with two
or three friends to receive them. Senator
Dooli.tle addressing Mr. Greeley said:-
The National Democratic Convent ion
had devolved upon the committee now
present the pleasing duty to wait upon
him in person to notify him of his upani-
nous nomination for the Presidency by
that Convention, the official notification
of which he now presented to him. The
published report Of the proceedings show
ed that there was great unanimity but on
ly those who took part in them had any
idea of the enthusiasm with which it was
determined to sustain the Liberal Re
publican movement, and to support the
principles contained in the Cincinnati
platform, and they felt that the surest
means of doing 30 was to nominate and
elect the same candidates.
Tho Senator then introduce each
member of the committee to Mr.. Greeley
and after cordial greeting he replied to
the announcement.
Reply Of M. Greezey:-Mr. Greeley
said that perhaps it needed more time
and consideration before replying to such
an important Communication It may
be that he should have replied in writing
but iuasmuch as he had addressed letter
to the committee of another Convention
which had been extensively published,
| perhaps twas not necessary that at this
/ time. be Should make a formal and full
reply. He accepted the nomination, he
said. and with the more pleasure from
the gratifying spirit with which it was
presented. His position was proud one
and it was nevertheless an embarrassing
one, but she trusted this embarrassment
was only temporary. It subjected him to
demonstration on the part of valued
and life long friends, but be was assured
that time only was necessary to vindicate
his motives and the disintercsted and
paerlotlc course he had determined to
pursue before he received such hearty CO.
operation.
While you, said Mr.. Greeley, in max
ing this nomination arc not the less
Democratic, but even more so than bad
you taken the opposite course, l in
accepting it, was as much Republican
as l ever was. Applause.E He was
not much accustomed, he said to receive
the nomination for President or be probab-
ly could have responded moro fitly. TIL is
was all be had to say, except to invite
the members Of the committee, or as
many of them as could make it convenient
70 visit him at his farm at Chappaqua.-
He could assure them of a warm welcome
He should be there tomorrow, and they
could then consult and center more freely
than at that time.

Liary loss or gain TO the public were in
volved-l might be willing to take no
part ia the presidential contest. but allow
the 1dcmoralizing course pursued by Grant
aud lis administration to be continued
tour years longer trusting that the very
extent and fiagitious nature'of the noto-.
Siohs abuse wsald in themselves so in
struct the people that they would recoil
from placing further trust in such hands.
The natural capacities of the soil and
climates of onr country, together with the
industries aud energies Of our people,
render the production of wealth (mere
wealthy almo $. sboundless, and we eau
almost afford to bear the results Of 6uan-
cial blunders, and so long as they are
confined TO official circles, of public
robberies and populations, provided we
can in the end buy our experience
through the usual methods of loss and
suffering. But, severe anu painful
though these abuses and their conse-
quenccs may be, they weigh to me light
ly, compared to the d istruction Of all
the limitations upon power which. our
written constitution of government was
designed to create, and which General
Grant and those who assist him in ad
ministering the government, including
the radical majori,ics in both houses OF
Congress. seem either to totally disregard
or, as 1 have some time thought, to take
a scornful pleasure in tran,ping ufder
foot.
1t is utterly impossible for me, with
the scenes which | have witnessed in the
Senate of the United States rising before
my eyes, not to feel the gravest APP
prehensions and alarm OF any prospect
or suggestion of allowing the policy of
Grant and his administration toward the
Southern States aud their white inhabi-
tants longer to continue, if any honora-
BILE act Of mine can tend to avert so
great calamity.
Now, whether I approve Mr.. Greeley
personally or no, whether he had or had
not been she. steady and violent opponent
Of the political principles and measures
which goa and have been unfolding
all our lives, yet if he has become, with
or against our action or wishes, the most
likely.or. practical means of restoring a
better condition Of feeling in the North
toward'the South, and restoring security
and justice to that oppressed region,
should feel myself as an American, with
out regard to the name of party, but
without the sacrifice of any convict ion
no relation to my political principles,
compelled to assist IN placing him in
power.
y
I hope our State convention will prompt.
ly and decidedly nominate an elector-
al ticket in opposition to Grant and w IL
son, and in favor of the only candidates
who, as matters now stand, Q II be hop,f;' :
