How the Parties Stand.

The Philadelphia Press, speaking
of the spring elections and the politi
cal outlook, says:
Parties asthey exist last fallIbave
not changed there not having been
any causes to change them. Their
dissolution may be in progress, but
it is very gradual, and awaits some
more extraordinary event than any
recent one can develop. However
many uncIean bands were displayed
during the winter, they were pretty
nearly evenly distributed Neither
party were free from any of the scan
daIs that filed the air.-the Credit
lMosilier stock, according TO Mr.
Ames, having been placed where it
would do most good, and without re.
gard to the political opinions of the
recipient. As for the increase of con-
gressional salaries, although Butler
was its author, the Democrats were
hungrier for it than the Repu bIicans,
as it is shown by the larger percent

presented in the vole in its favor"

Assessment of Moneys and Securities

A wise act Of the late Legislature
was tho passage Of the law providing
Cor the assessment Of moneys, bonds,
rotes, mortgages and other securi-
ties. Under the new law the aver
age amount Of moneys, notes, secur-
tiles, &C., held by the person during
the year, determines the amount OF
assessment, instead OF, rs heretofore,
the active amount on hand en- the Isl
day Of May. The old law was evaded
to such an extent by holders of this
class Of property that probably not
one-fiftieth part of it was ever as
sessed. This was usually by sham
transfer Of the property to some per
son residing in another State just
before the assessment, and thus tax
alton was escaped The following is
the new law, which, it appears to usi
will pu. an end to much of the tax
lodging:
'In determining the account Of moneys
notes, mortgages, or other securities owned
or held by any person, and the amount OF in-
debtedness which any perons may be entitled
70 deduct from credits, such person shall b.
required to make a statement thereof under
oath, giving the average amount Of such mon
eys, notes, bonds, mortgages, or other securi
ties owned or held by him or her, and the Az
srage amount Of indebtedness which he or sh'
nav be entitled by law TO deduct from sucl
credit for each and every month during III,
year ending on the first day OF May, IN which
The assessment was made, and the averag'
amount OF such moneys, notes, bonds, an'
mortgages, or other securities for such year
determined as aforesaid, shall be assessed fo
taxation -

good thing in passing the joint reso-

exceeding 5 per cent. of the value of

is TO be submitted to a vote of the
people next fall, and will be ratified
