Retaliation Of the CITY.

There is unquestionably a general desire
on the part of property-holders and tax-pay-
ers for a re-valuation of the city of Portland.
As ten years or more have passed since such a
valuation as that term implies has been made,
there is every reason, in view of the important
changes that have taken place in that ime,
for thorough and systematic revision. But
while all agree as to the Importance Of a re-
valuation, there will doubtless be consider
able diversity of opinion as to the best policy
to be pursued to secure such an appraisement
Of Property as shall be most equitable.
: One Of the plans suggested is to secure the
services of a competent commission selected
from other localities. At first thought this
might appear to be the wiser course as such
commission would be supposed to be most
impartial and beyond the influence of local
prejudice. On the other hand this system
would be open to the very serious objection
that being wholly unacquainted with the rel
alive value Of property in different localities,
growing out Of score of circumstances that
none but those who have resided in the city
can properly understand, the commissioners
must rely upon the statements of property
holders or consult the present assessors as to
relative values. In the former case the party
who had the best advocate would be quite
likely to get the best favorable valuation, while
in the second, if the assessors are to be con-
stantly consulted and their Judgment ac.
cepted, it would appear that foreign commits
Sio, vo,,l6 ba cuparhu hua,,o a- x,oil au avnop-
sive.
Another plan has been suggested and will,
we understand, be submitted by Mayor Wes-
colt to the city council as a basis for the con-
sideration Of the whole subject. Briefly stat
ed, this proposition is to have careful valua-
ton made by the city assessors. In connec-
tion with it, and as basis Of operations, the
city engineer is to maize complete chart of
the city in sections which, when completed,
will comprise one hundred and fifty sheets,
about twenty inches square, so as to be easi-
ly referred to. In connection with this plan
the assessors are to re-number the streets,
both the lots upon which there are buildings
and those unoccupied, giving each frontage
Of twenty feet on street a number, as far
as practicable, according to the existing ordi-
nance of the city. In making the valuation
this proposition looks to a careful examina-
tion into the value of the property in all parts
ofthe city with due allowance for location
and other matters that should enter into a
correct and equitable valuation of the real es-
tate thereof Several reasons are urged in
oetI Jo To oJr
say that it will be much less expensive, and,
judging fom the valuation once made by
commissioners, more equitable to property
holders, and can be more carefully and thor
oughly performed. 4.

An Aut0cratic Mayor.

1t appears from the Portsmouth Chronicle
that that city is blessed with mayor who not
only dares to take responsibilities, but as
sunes to revoke the will of majorities, and if
allowed to go on is in fair way to ignore the
city charter. Not long since Mayor Marvin
while presiding over the Board of Aldermen,
refused to put motion to proceed to elect
committees, claiming for himself full power in
the matter. One bold alderman appealed
from the decision of the Mayor, and the vote
on the appeal stood two in favor of sustaining
the decision of the Mayor and four against it,
but ''His Worship declared three against
him and two in his favor, and then added his
own vote in favor of his own decision declar-
ing it sustained. If this ruling cf Mayor Mar
vim oil Portsmouth is to be hereafter acknowl-
edged as precedent, and SO quoted we are
on the eve of a revolution the result of which
no one would dare to pred ct. But we rather
think that this novel achievement will end
with its not over modest authors first year.
This action of Marvin reminds us ofa scene
that occurred once in the Senate of this State
where the parties were equally divided The
tion being made for adjournment the vote
stood eight to eight, the President himself
constituting one OF the eight that voted for
adjournment. The vote being equal the neg
atives had it, but the President said it was a
tie vote and he should vote in the affirmative.
which he did and declared the Senate adjourn
ed. The Democratic members-among whom
was the late ex Gov. Dunlap, saw the ilegali-
ty of the vote and upon protest from Senator
Kingsberry, declined to leave their seats. AZ
ter some fifteen or twenty minutes sparring
between the members another motion was Of
fered by one of ie opposition Senators to
iourn. This motion the President put, al
though he had previously declared the Senate
adjourned, and it was adopted mem con. and
the members left their seats. This occurred
when the Legislature met in Portland in
$780, i >ai3
As on tie vote the negatives have it, the
first appeal made from the decision Of the
PRESIDENT was sustained, the vote standing
eisnS to eight. The next day another appeal
was made from his decision, but the worthy
ires.oeht had got his lesson, and instead of
pNs'.ne 'nc question of appeal in the paFlia-
'i,oiy |n way, Shall the decision of the chair
s'ala as. as Inc Judgment of the senate,'' he put

OUR Portland (Me.) exchanges bring us a
lengthy and glowing account of the public
reception rendered to Hon. John Lynch
Representative from that district, on his re-
turn home. An ovation so hearty and sponta-
neous must have been exceedingly gratifying
to the recipient, demonstr sting as it did the
high public estimation in which his Congress
sional services were held. Mr.. Lynch's rare
practical sagacty, his wide information upon
CONNER ial, industrial, and financial ques-
tions, his clearness and force as speaker,
and his indefatisable industry made him one
both on the floor and in the committee room.
His Congressional career has throughout been
eminently honorable and successful, and the
hearty tribute just paid him by his con-
sttuents is very appropriate testimonial to
the ability and fidelity with which he has
served them Washington Chronicle.

In one of our commercial cities NOT many
months since wealthy merchant died and the
pastor o. his church paid him glowing eulo-
gy, portraying him in such sanity hues that
one was driven to the conclusion that the
good man was snatched away from this
wicked world to preserve him from contami-
nation. The profane reader of the newspa-
pers was greatly astonished tol learn that this
conspicuously good man unfortunately bore
theisame name that had long appeared in an
alleged suit as defendant, charged with naak-
ing fraudulent custom house entries thereby
defrauding the government of cool quarter,
of million--a charge that was fully estab-
lished in court. 1t is curious coincidence.
