The latter can only be accomplished
through the instrumentality of state
board, while the former is already provided
for by the law, to be done by the boards of
supervisors in counties, and the councils of
the several municipalities should be clothed
with like powers, and such provisions made
as will secure its thorough execution in
both cities and couaties. | have already,
in my last two annual messages, called the
attention of the General Assembly to this
subject, and cannot now too strongly urge
its great Importance upon your immediate
attention. In my judgment no effort
should be spared to rectify the errors
of our present assessments so that every
dollars worth OF property may bear its
equal and just proportion OF the
public burthen, and no more. 1t is right,
it is just, land it is demanded by the high
est consideration OF private interest and
public policy, and when, if ever, this shall
be accomplished, it will be found that the
assessed valuation of the personal and real
property in the state exceeds $500, 000, 900.
Why, the assessments on which the taxes
of 1866 were levied, were nearly as large
as they are now, and yet these assessments
were made very soon after the war, and
before the state had scarcely begun to re-
cover from its terrible devastations-when
our lands were comparatively barren of
improvements and nearly all the personal
property of our citizens had been
swept away. Beyond question tho
personal property in the state has increased
three-fold since the war, nor can it be
doubted that there has been very consid-
cradle increase in the value of lands in at
least one-half of the state. In the cities of
the commonwealth alone the personal and
real property according to city assessments,
has increased since 1866 over $25, 900, 900.
Apply even the standard of valuation used
in 1866, and our present assessments would
probably reach $40O, 100000. While this
sum is far below the amount which an as
assessment according to the constitu-
tional standard would make it, let us
take this as the basis of our calcula-
tons. At the present rate Of taxation
100000 would be realized from this
source alone, from which deduct onc-fifth
for school purposes, and balance of
81 600, 900 is left to be appropriated to the
purposes of paying the interest and defray-
ing the expense Of the government, To
this sum should be added the taxes from
incomes, licenses and other sources. Under
the present tax bill the auditor estimated
that the receipts from these sources will
reach the following amounts

HartS, che iilusionist, INTENDS beginning tomorrow
evening season which will last only two weeks.
During his six years. retirement Mr. Hartz has
sought TO perfect new series OF Illusions and his
former successes warrant the belief that he has
not misapplied his time. His great card during
the pending season will be his "Aerostat Sprltuer
at which he mas been laboring for twelve years. the
title OF which he has copyrighted. Upon wednes-
day, October %, there will be matinee Tor the
benefit or the Shreveport sufferers, an act OF grace
and humanity which will probably find many
imitatOrs among Mr.. Hartzs professional brethren.
Mr.. Barney Williams mas quite recovered the use
OF his eye, which was so seriously affected some
time ago as to compel him to cancel all his engage
ments. 1t is not likely, however, that he will return
to the stage for the present.
The pupils and teachers Of the New York Deal
and Dumb Institution, Washington Heights, have
accepted an invitation from the magician Hartz to
attend a matinee entertainment,at Ferrero's As

OF society are enabled to partake OF the varied
pleasures OF the hour and the promised oppor-

In grea6 measure upon stopping the recruiting.

were doing In which vagrants and youiafni crllli-
nais received secular and religious education. He
gave to France the honor OF initiating the best
system or reformatlon--aterwards introduced into
Great Britain-Dy which the ,outAful criminals
were separated from the young vagrants and
these, in turn separated from each other, as tneir
faults deserved. Want OF education was the great
cause OF crime. Within ten years past France
had suffered much from this. but now better state
ol things had set IN and SCHOOLS were springing up
abundantly.
Mr.. HENRY BERGH was next announced, and,
after ascending the platform, he expressed his
unworthness to stand in such a place; but ne

then entered into a glowing description OF the
