They have disregarded all platforms
and promises of economy and reform, ut
terly ignored the expressed wishes of the
people in official appointments robbed
the peoples treasury 10 enrich themselves,
while promising that The actual revenues,
after paying the current debts, should fur
nish moderate balance for the reduction
of the principal. By the fairest promises,
by craft, and sometimes almost by force
they have worked themselves into the
highest osition of trust and power, cast
ing out all who would not obey them.
Hence the present disquiet in the nation
''Peaceable men, who will not fight, re-
tire. Honest men, who will not counter
ance tricks, leave. Well-bred men, who
will not be insulted, depart Independent
men, who will not be domineered over,
turn away. Discerning men, like George
William Curtis, who see through shams,
are Disguised Blind men follow their
leaders. Timid men fear to resist Weak
men are fattered, and corrupt men are
bribed. Thus they. are sacrificing and
running the work they profess to direct.
THE question arises, How can we most
speedily and effectually remedy these
evils :?
1--WE know the ties Of party are some
times very difficult to sever, but slight
should be held that sacrifice by any patriot
who, loving his party much, will always
! love the interest of his country more
Small indeed will be our sacrifice compared
with that of the hundreds Of thousands Of
all parties who give their lives for the life
of the nation.
1--WE have one remedy which is within
ourselves, therefore we strongly recon
mend and urgently request that mass
meeting Of all honest men, OF whateye

now in favor of political reform IN thi
country, be held at Bridgewater, on Thurs

FAYETTE COUNTY ASSESSMENT
REpRRTS
FROM De somerYile Falcon, July 81

From the SOmeryille Falcon, July 81.
r. w. Irwin, Assessor for district eight,
has furnished us statement of the assess
m"nt for 1873 as compared with 1872. In
the latter year there were assessed 81, 935
acres of land, averaging $40 90 per acre
and making total value OF $324, 32S. In
1873 the number Cf acres assessed was
33,2I6 at an average value of $14.27 per
acre, and total value Of SAFE, ASS. This
Is gain over last year of 1911 acres and
OF Sl0l, ITO. There is also gain in this
district of 164 polls.
la district eleven j. NJ. Alexander, As
SCISSOR, has furnished US the following COM
parative statement for 1872 and 1873. For
the latter year there were assessed %, SCI
acres averaging $ t per acre, and with q
total value of S362,0SG. Ia the former
year the average value of land was SS21
per acre. Tbs assessment this year shows
total increase over last year OF Sl63, I28.
We are glad to know that there has been
such marked Increase in the valuation Of
property 10 these districts. It is an evil
dence OF great prosperity than most people
thought was in existence. We hope there
VIII be an increase in all the counties
IN the State, for under the blessed funding
law the State will be required to raise in
cash the round sum Of Sl,900,000 every
year for the next forty years. Perhaps if
every district in the entire State could in
crease in the same ratio with the two
named above this $I,900,O00 could be
raised, provided rigid system of collection
we've enforced. But we hear Of some coun-
ties that sre falling behind the assessment
of 1872, while in others there is but little
change. In any event we viii need all the
revenue that can be raised even by assess
ing real estate two or three times, is
done under the present assessment law in
great many cases, and we presume thai an
ordinary train OF cars, running down grade,
could carry all the surplus funds that will
remain in the treasury st the end of each
year after all State demands have been liqui-
d ted. Although we have opposed The two
laws just named, ard although we do think
we will never support any OF the men for
public positions who were instrumental in
their passage, we are in favor of bearing
the ills they have BROUGHT upon US as best
we can until better laws can be framed.
So soon rs we can assist in retiring them to
the obscurity they so much deserve we will
enter into the work with great satisfaction.
Funding will be the main issue ia the next
canvass, and upon that we expect to stake
our hopes of success.

IURE,
From the New York Tribune.

FROM Tue NEW 1Ork IIlDuut'
We have before mentioned with pleasure
and appreciation the Club of young ladies
in Boston which gives its winters to the
weekly hearing of wisdom from the lips Of
poets aud philosophers. Pretty is the picture
of all these far disciples sitting at the feet
of such Gamaliel as Mr.. Emerson: but
we submit hat far prettier one is that
which we now get of tsem in the kitchen.
For there they are. Dropping books for
buns, philosophy for the frying pan, meta
physics for mutton, art for applepie, they
are ON the high road to such accomplish
ments as the widest dreams of the most
unmitigated cd bachelor could not have
foreiold- Every week each gentle member
of the Club contributes something to 8
feast, breakfast, dinner, or supper given at
the house of one of them, many and merry
are the rivalries in the pre"aration OF that
ambrosial food. So successful have been
the efforts of these charming amateur cooks
that one of them is about to gather and
publish the recipes, embodying the most
delicious results of their experiments. A
