The administration newspapers
are busily engaged in denouncing
Horatio Seymour as a brutal, coarse
grained loafer, and denouncing Gratz
Brown as a drunkard. General
Grant had been not only Ga con
frmed sot all his life," but that she
came near losing his commission in
tie army for being a gambler OF the
lowest order" That General Grant
has been a drunkard as We charge, is
a notorious fact. He lost his COM
mission in the army for that reason,
and Afterwards kept a billiard saloon
in California. MajorJ J. W. Paddock,
Ct. H. and J. S. Collins, and scores
Of others, in and out of the Army,
know the truth about it, if they Will
tell it. Captain P. T. Turnkey of
Chicago, and of the old Army was
a classmate of Grants and served
with him longin the military service.
He declares that a more beastly
Grunkard never lived than Grant
was. If the s'drunk" issue is to be
made in the contest, General Grant
must stand or fall on the notorious
record of his career.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN uH1oxv1LLr.

By private letter to j. J. Linn,
State Librarian, from Knoxville,
We learn of q destructive fire that
occurred in that town on Tuesday
morning last. The fire originated in
the drugstore of DR.. Luther. extend
ing to Davis shoe store and Critten-
den Thornton's law Office on the
west, and Chris Lark's building on
the east, in which was Wells, Fargo
& Cos Express and County Treas
urer's offices, burning the roof of
of the County Recorder'sa and Sheriff" s
Offices. The letter states that DIR.
Luther lost all the goods in his store,
aconslderable amount OF money (gold
notes and greenbacks) and himself
and wife barely escaped being
burned to death. Had there been
any wind at the time of the fire, the
entire business part of town would
have been destroyed, as no means is
provided by which to battle with the
fiery element, save bucket service.
This is the first fire that has occurred
in Unionville, to any extent, since
its settlement. The entire loss will
aggregate about SIS, 000.

The West Point cadets are now in
camp; no holiday camping, but the
real thing: They sleep on the tent
ho0r; on the softest side of q board
they can find. The strictest discipline
OF the camp is observed. No noise,
no talking. no fancy signs or adorn-
ments are permitted. The s~entinels
are regularly stationed, and pace
their rounds as fin ahostile country.
Even the commandant of the post
could not pass the lines at night
without the countersign. Every
half hour; between ten at night and
four in the morning, the sentinels
shoutto each other the hour-'Half-
past twelve o'clock and Ais
W-e-ll!" The ''swells" doubtless
think such discipline is a bore, but
they must remember that others have
lived through it, and have benefited
by it; consequently they should not
grumble.-[N. Y. Express.

Yesterday morning quite a large
number of people arrived in this
city in country wagons, having come
as far as Haycock shoals on board
the steamer Yosemite. Among them
was a strong-minded delegation from
San Francisco. 1t is such a regular
thing for the steamer to get stuck
on the shoals there now that it
is said the farmers have their
teams all ready hitched up and
waiting on the bank for the steamer
to get aground. when they call out
for passengers like the hackmen at a
railway depot.-[Sac. Record.

that the total damages awarded tc

when asked by friends to day asto the
truth of the above, denied it most un-

the least foundation for the story, and
that he has never made any remark
which can be so understood.

TRIBUTE OF AN OPPONENT.

Of all the tributes paid the late Horace Gree
ley. by the press, not one that we have seen
excels in appropriateness that of the Atlanta
Sun, paper which opposed Mr.. Greeley with
great bitterness. After announcing the death
of Mr.. Greeley, the Sun edited by Hon. A. Fl.
Stephens. says:
America has never given birth to one who
has attained more extended eminence than Mr..
Greeley not by the occupancy of high political
statlous. but by the commanding influence he
obtained in the political aud civil world, and
which he has exercised over public affairs. 1t
has been said of him that he has come mora
nearly fashioning American Ius,ituhons after
bis own ideas than any man of the present or
past. tie was 10 every sense self made mao:
In many regards Mr.. Greeley was charac-
ter worthy to be set up as model. He was
bold, origioalan independent thinker. He was
man OF uncompromising integrity of charac-
ter. Whatever cause he espoused he believed
sincerely that 1t was just one. There ia no
questioning the fact that, in his Opposition to
slavery, he believed that he was doing woman
service for civilization and Christianity. His
errors were never errors of the heart He was.
10 spite of many personal eccentricities, warm
and generous hearted. and an earnest friend.
He was devoted husband and father, bestow-
ing much of his time, and means, to rendering
his family pleasure aud happiness.
In the death OF Greeley, civilization and the
arts and sciences. have lost an efficient advocate:
journalism has lost one of the ablest Editors
that has ever lived; the world is deprived of
| one OF Its abest minds, aud humanity of q
| friend"

The Re-assessment in the County of An
gusta--The Present Taxation.

FELLOW CITIZENS:
By an act of January 24.h, 1872 any person
fef ling himself aggreved by the assessment of
1870, had the right to apply to the County or
Corporation Court for a reduction of any assess
ment. made in pursuance OF act CT 1870, provid-
ed the application was made within six terms
OF said Court, next ensuing, after the passage
of said act.
By subsequent act taking effect February,
Ist 1872, it was provided that upon petition OF
mai ,rlty Of land holders In any county or cor
poratlun, or upon the petition OF the Board of
Supervisors of any county, or upon the petition
OF majority of land holders In any township
of any county, it should be the duty of the
Court of such county or corporation, at the
March term of said Court, 10 the year, 1872,
to appoint and associate two tree holders oi
said coua'y or corporation, Of experience and
judgment, with the assessor for said G ,uuty or
cJrpnia,ion, who should constitute a B ,ard of
re- assessment, and who should proceed 10 as
sess ihe vaiue lands aud lots, wilh improve
ments thereon, Ia their respective cyunuies,
corporations and townships. as the same we're
arranged and established by law.
But the people of Augusta by failure to
comply with the provisions of the acts referred
to above, before their expiration. have derived
little or no relief from an onerous and uucon-
stltutional assessment.
The assessment OF 1870 was upj 1st to many
counties In the State, out particularly SO to Au-
gusta: For proof. illustrative OF the enormous
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1872-12-10

and disproportioDable revenue wh'ch Augusts
county, under the present uncorrected assess
men', Is compelled to pay. you will not have to
travel further than the adjoining county oi
Rockingham.
In that county the assessment of 1870 was a
decrease of $6l3, 909 90 on the assessment OF
1856, and subsequently bv availiug herself of
the act of February lSt 1872 -he made still
further reduction of 1890, III 0G so that her
reduction upon the two assessments amounts to
81 603 $50 00-which is equivalent to q reduc-
tiou OF nearly one fifth or 20 per cent. of the
assessment Of 1856
Now, applying this per centage of reduction
to Augusta county, assessed in 1856. at $40 :
2ll GA 90. ycu have reduction of 81 U42 :
322. w., and If 10 this the increase over the as
-essment of 1870. amounting TO 81 437 600 90
be added, it shows that Augusta county Is I'M
properly assessed with three and half millions
of dollars OF really, and consequently is paying
thereon, at the present rate of taxation an
nuaily, SIT 500 every dollar OF which is 10 ex-
cess of fair assessment. as is shown by the
comparison with Rockingham county.
Other counties could be cited, which would
show in still more aggravated form. the enor
nous excess of taxes paid by the people of Au-
gusta county, and therefore the comparison
made between her and Rockingham is by no
counties OF the State. rather than above it,
have never heard that there is any special
local enhancement in the values of Augusta
lands, ss compared with Rockingham or other
portions of the State, that will account tor the
disproportionately enlarged revenue, drawn
from her people.
1t has been suggested, however, that the mar
ket price of property 10 Staunton has contribu-
ted greatly to the enhanced assessment; bnt the
records show low assessment of real estate is
Staunton, and hence the disproportion paid BY
the entire couety tails upon the people OF the
county and not upon those OF the city.
do not presume that our people desire to
pay this unjust and unconstitutional excess, and
[ therefore suggest aud advise that they for
ward petitions from every portion of the couu-
ty to the Legislature, setting forth their griev
aoces 10 this regard, and asking relief from the
same.
1t is By no means certain, in fact doubtful,
whether the Legislature, having provided a
mode for your reilef uuavaiied of by your local
will take ac ion again in your spe-
cial behalf. particularly as the Augusta dele
cation is divided upon the propriety of the mea-
sure, unless they are beset by long and camor-
Gus petitions from the people themselves
This is matter Of such serious concern to
the people of this community, that have felt
it to be my representative duty to bring it to
their attention, and to urge upon them the i'm
portance Of moving 10 the matter at once.
If the people uphold the hands Of their re-
relief may yet be obtained.-
Without their active cooperation, their repre-
are powerless, and their cause hope
less.
