THE ASSESSORS DEFENSE.
QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE TAX CoMMIs-
SIONERS

STATEMENT OF THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE BOARD
POPULAR PREJUDICE DEPRECATED-THE GROUNDS
FOR THE INCREASED ASSESSMENTS SIGNIFICANT
COMMENTS.
It will be remembered that at a meeting Of the
Supervisors several weeks ago, somewhat stormy
debate ended in the appointment of special com
mittee TO examine into alleged inequalities in assess
ments in the Twelfth, Nineteenth, and Twenty
second Wards This Committee organized soon after
its appointment, and began TO hear the complaints
which were presented in large numbers. HE IRIB-
UNE published at the outset of the investigation
summary Of comparative assessments, and pointed
out the general drift of the complaints. Yesterday
it gave a tabular statement of the more glazing
cases which the investigation had brought to light
Those who have read the reports Of the inyestiRa-
ton will be interested in the abstract gwen below
of the combined report aud defense of the Commits
sioners Of Taxes and Assessments which was made
public yesterday. The abstract is less comprehen-
sive than it would have been if the statistical in
formation and the substance Of many parts of it had
not been published in the TRIBUNE in advance.
The report is an elaborate reply TO the accusations
which have been brought against the Commits
sioners. The main line of defense may perhaps not
improperly be summarized under these heads: /. The
extreme difficulty of an assessors duties q The
claim that the increase in assessments has not ex-
ceeded the increase in the value Of real estate.
g. The claim that it has not exceeded the increased
value of new buildings. 4. The claim that the up
town wards have reaped the greatest benefit from
the great uptown improvements and should pay
well for them. 8. rehearsal of the burdens Of
downtown taxpayers. A TRIBUNE reporter visited
members of the Investigating Committee yesterday,
and found that they dissented from several of the
statements and differences of the report summary
of their statements will also be found below.

be Judged by arrivals tonight. There Is conspicuous
absence Of men who have made Democratic history and
the prospect is that there will be serious division in
the elaboration. The old school members Of the party
will insist upon straight-out nomination, while
large minority declare in favor of nomination, and
falling In that will try for the selection OF who
will declare at proper time in favor Of peoples

CARPETBAGGERS.

The Administration organ at Washing
ton il publishing statistics to show that Vir-
ginia furnished about as many carpet-bag
gers to other States as any commonwealth
in tho Union In the 40 large cities, 80,
600 of the population are Virginian born
and in the States $3.50, 1856 Of the inhabi-
tants were born in Virginia. Against these
figures Virginia can only show 46.912 citi-
Gems not born in the State. These statistics
are esteemed to be triumphant argument
against the cry of "carpet-baggers." The
outsiders don't seem to understand us at all.
We only wish all the carpet.bagging Vir'
ginians were back in the old State and
would bring double their number from other
States with them. Of course We don't want
those thousands Of negroes included in the
above figures who carpet.bagged to the
Southern States before the war under the
auctioneer's hammer, and are now making a
hell Of Louisiana, Arkansas. South Caro-
lima and the other Southern States, and
would make it here in Virginia if they had
the majority but if you have any white
men bring 'em along no matter what their
politics are. It 10 white men that make 9
State great. Negroes never did and neve,
will. If every negro were to leave this
State tomorrow and his place was supplied
by white man, the State would take sud.
den leap ahead that would jar every man in
il into now life.

An insurmountable obstacle to the Radi-
cal party in this State obtaining white votes
Is the fact that no man can try the expert.
ment Of voting with it. Such an argument
q "trying US this time" can't be used by
that party. Let it get in once and no fraud
or violence is too great fer them to use it in
holding on. The man they are running
now ID the very man, that il he were Cover
nor would have no seruples about getting
Federal authority to interfere to keep him in.
The man who advocated the test oath for
the members Of the Conservative legisla'
aure, and who, still later in his Lynchburg
speech. compliments the negroes for their for
bearaneo in not hauling up the whites be-
fore the Federal authorities, is just the man
70 follow the track of the Louisiana Radi.
Gals. If we tried to regain the State from
suinous negro legislation and succeeded they
would cry fraud, take it to the u S Court
and here is the way it is finished as told
by Judge Bonner, of Louisiana, to the cor
respondent of the Richmond Enquirer
last week: "Kellogg, his State officers, and
His Legislature were placed in power. as you
know, by an interlocutory order Of Judge
Durell, an inferior United States judge, sup
ported and assisted by the bayonets o.
United States soldiers, under the direction
Of President Grant. Judge Durell, on hi'
own motion, in his own private house, a
the hour Of midnight Of the 9Th Of Deem
Der, 1872, issued private order, unsigned
and unsealed by the clerk Of his court, tt
the United States marshal to take posses
sion of the State-houss. This illegal ano
monstrous order, issued in this illegal aDt
unauthorized m amer was promptly executed
by the United States marshal and the State
house was seized at 2 o'clock A. NJ. on th,
9th Of December by the United States sol
diers and held until tho Kellogg Legisla.
ture was organized" This is the way al
experiment" would result in Virginia.
