Here then, are twelve companies Of tho av

as the result Of their twenty years work, av

amounting to S52, 0Oo, O00 Now this is GER
tainly deserving of eulogy. Talk of enter

any other institution in the same line of bust

The other features of the Eqritable's state

s.GsAE THE BOSTON POST AND
HE HICAGO TRIBU n E
EiEc A THIRD TERM.

The Boston Post says, with refer
ence to the early nomination Of Grant
for third term, the Chicago Tribune
recalls the fact that this is only part of
the famous Rawlins-Forney bargain,
made before his first election. The
demand on the part of Grant was, that
he should be continued President long
enough to compensate him for the loss
of his salary as General of the~Armies
of the United States. To be sure, by
doubling lis salary for his second
term the parties of the second part in
this contract have in a manner dis
counted his claim to third election
but the Chicago Tribune is doubtless
right i'll its statement tEat the Presi-
dent is mot the sort of man to give
release deed, if he can help it, when
double that amount is to be had by
holding on to it," The Tribune shows
also that Grant deserves another term
as the best living embodiment Of the
remaining principles of his party.
This assertion is sIppafted by the
statement, in reference to the salary
advance, that he ''grabbed more than
anybody else," that he "believed in
the grab, lobbied for the grab, signed
the grab-biIl, and is now engaged in
pocketing the grab" His devotion to
other principles of his party is shown
by the Tribune by references to his
endorsement of Colfax his appoint
ment of Bingham as Minister to Japan
after his constituents had censured
that Congressman his alliance with
Butler in Massachusetts his support
Of Kellogg and Duren in Louisiana
and his disbelief in Civil Service re-
form. The Tribune certainly makes
out & strong case for the President !;
and the reply Of Congressman Hawley,
through his newspaper, that this would
''put the party i'll position to secure
its defeat in the next Presidential cleo
tion,' has no bearing upon the fact
that Grant deserves the Republican
in view both of his con-
tract with Forney and his conduct to-
ward his party.

CKAN,r,S rxssRDTEHN.

A Special Dispatch from Washing
ton to the Boston Post says: 1t ap-
pears that the movement of the office
holders to secure the denomination of
Gen. Grant for third term has al
ready commenced. 1t is stated that
the preliminaries were arranged at
Long Branch several daysa ago, and it is
not denied that the President is cog
infant of it. Those having the mat
ter in charge seem to count very large
Iy upon the divisions supposed to
exist in the ranks of the opposition,
and upon their ability to rally the
moneyed interests of the country to
the support of their scheme. Under
the head of "moneyed interests, they
include the National Banks, the Rail
Road Corporations, and large Capital
lists. These, they allege, are for Grant,
because under his Administration it is
not likely that any Legislation will be
enacted hostile to these institutions.
Another argument used is that there is
no man in the Republican party, who
has developed greater popular strength
than Grant, and it is hardly probable
that within the next three years ne
will have dangerous rival OF course
the official patronage will be used in
manipulating Conventions, and in
securing delegates. Some of the
Presidents friends think it is too soon
to agitate the question of succession,
but the matter has been kept very
quiet, and it was not expected to be
made public until at least a year hence
eff Grant should fail to get the NOM
nation" his friends assert that he will
at least, be able to name his successor.

ESGELHARD 6 SAUEDEGS,
Wilmington, n. G..

The Legislature of North Carolina
costs the people nine hundred and
forty dollars each day of its sessions

war, so that the Legislature shall meet
only once in every tero years.
Do you wish to save over thou
sand dollars day every other winter
to your heavily taxed pocket books

Fl, III the Newhern journal OF Commerce
Indignation Meeting.

Wednesday night there assembled
IN the Court room a large number OF
the property holders of the city and
county, for the purpose Of expressing
III fitting terms, their just indignation
against the enormous tax levied by the
County Commissioners upon their
property.
On motion of W. II. Pearca, ESQ.
the meeting was called to order by
calling III. II. Bryan, Esq, to the
Chair VIM. Whitford was requested
to act as Secretary.
Mr.. Bryan on taking the Chair, ex-
planned the object Of the meeting in a
few well-timed and eloquent remarks.
Col. Guion moved that q committee
hltions and present other business to
the meeting. The following gentle
men were appointed:
IL. L. Guion, w. Ell. Pearce, Thos
Will ans, Alex. Mitchell and Ed. II.
Meadows.
During the absence of the commit
tee, Mr.. Justice. on motion, addressed
the meeting. His remarks found at
teutivc listeners and were loudly ap-
plauded by all present.
Mr.. Haughton being next called
upon, addressed the meeting in q few
direct and telling remarks. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Haughton's remarks,
the foil l,wine preambles and resolu-
tons were read and unanimously
adopted.
WHEREAS, Among the few rights still
reserved to the people, is the one of
assembling together for the redressing
of grievances, and,
WHEREAS, The enormous rates of
taxation, and the fraudulent and unjust
system of assessing the value of prop
erty established by the present Board
of Commissioners, is calculated to
alarm, and rouse us to seek safety in
common cause, therefore,
Re$ofced, That we view with scorl
and Indignation the action of the Board
in doubling the assessments of prop
erty, over the action of the Township
assessors constituting themselves
sole judges of the value of property,
with which they are unacquainted; and
refusing to receive ample
testimony in regard to The assessments
being uni just and excessive.
ResOlred, That they have illegally
construed the act allowing them to re-
wise, into o atyrannicala abuse, of increas-
ing or diminishing assessments accord
ing to their whims and prejudices, as
to whether the party is inimical to their
views, or favofites and supporters Of
their cause.
ResOlced, That we have seen with
shame and indignation the property of
Wilmington journal., 1873-07-18

their members, either totally exempted
or at least relieved from the excess of
which We Justly complain. IL
Resolretl, That it is the duty ofevery
tax payer to make a common cause
against the unjust and tyrannical abuse
of power exercised by the present
Board of Commissioners, who seek by
inequality of assessment to effect a
purpose which in n direct way would
startle the whole people of the State
by its enormity amounting to not
less than s per cent. upon the real val
lie of our property.
ReSOlced, That committee of ten
be appointed by the Chair from the
city and county, to investigate the in
equalities of assessments as compared
with the last list of the Township as
SCISSORS. as also with the old list of
1860; and to compile and make copies
of the same for publication, or other
use deemed by them necessary. That
this committee be fully empowered to
act for this meeting, by bringing suit
or otherwise by them deemed requisite
for redressing the grievances herein
set forth and that we pledge our
honor to maintain their action by mo-
ney and every other means in our
power.
Col. Guion's remarks, after reading
| each resolution, were received with
great applause, and the bold manner
| i'll which he handled the Commission
ers gave general satisfaction.
Col. j. d. Whitford being nexi
called upon, made few remarks ap-
plicable to the subject of taxation.
Mr.. Justice moved that the proceed
ings of this meeting be published il
the city papers, and the Wilmington
JOURNAL, Raleigh Sentinel, NctOs
Era and the Goldsboro Messenger bt
requested to copy. Carried.
