subjects have been generally anticipated by
the public. 1t contains large amount Of
details incorporated from the department

it will be found straightforward business
like document and gives an encouraging
view of our public affairs. We trust many
Of its valuable suggestions will be favorably
acted on BY Congress. There Is no narrow

ceded as sensible, and Of a practical nature.

July, 1865, on the subject of claims. have
unfortunately been checked by an obstacle.
, for the removal of which measures have been
taken by the two Governments, which it i
believed Will prove successful.
The Commissioners appointed pursuant To-
the joint resolution of Congress Of the 9TH of
May last, to inquire into depredations on
the Texas frontier, have diligently made in
designations in that quarter. Their report
upon the subject will be communicated 10
you. Their researches were necessarily in
terrapted, partly on account Of the limited
appropriation made by Congress Mexico.
on the part ofthat' Government, has appoint
ed similar commission to investigate the
outrages. it is not announced officially
but the press of that country states the full
est investigation is desired, and that the CO.
operation of all parties concerned is invited
to secure that end. therefore recommend
that special appropriation be made at the
earliest day practicable, to enable the COM
missionerS, on the part of the United States
to return to their laborS without delay.

The "oulpUuenulaI Valuation. g"

We have given to our readers pretty
full report of the debate in the House on the
Quinquennial Valuation bill" the object
ofwhich was 10 secure relieffor the counties
Of Chittenden and Franklin. from the ex-
cessive and outrageous valuation Of their
real estate. under the sham-squalization Of
$50. Some additional facts remain to be
added, in order to a full history Of the case.
The bill, it viii be remembered, passed
the Senate Ply a vote Of over three to one.
T1eaty-ttro Senators. men Of ability and
good Judgment. and who, being mainly
from other csuutie- than those asking relief,
were certainly not prejudiced in favor ofthe
bill. declared by their votes that they con
~ide-el the valuation of real estate in those
counties excessive. and that the Legislature
should apply a remedy by reducing thar
valuation 10 the extent provided for in the
bill. This fact alone, entitled the bill TO
fall, fair and unpreiudiced consideration Ia
the HOUSE. What sort of treatment did it
receive there Il was referred By the
Speaker 10 a select committee appointed by
D. s-- Cd. g.
