Cur Mother.

Round the idea Of ones mother, the
mind of man clings with fond aiicc-
ton. it is the first deep thought
stamped upon our infant hearts when
yet soft and capable Of receiving the
most profound Impressions, and the
.ftcr feelings Of the world are more or
less light in comparisoi. Even in
our old age we look back - that feel
ing as the sweetest we have through
life. Our passions and our willful-
ness may lead Us far from the object
of our Iilial love; we learn even to
pain her heart, to oppose her " ishcs,
to violate her Ilnmands; we may be-
come wild, hcads,rong and angry at
her counscls O. opposition hut when
death has stilcd her monitorv voice,
and nothing but still memory remains
to recapitulatc her virtues and good
deeds, affection, ike a flower beaten
to the ground by past storm, raises
up her head and smiles among her
tcars.-Round that idea, as we have
said, the mind clings with fond aiiec-
ton; and even when the early period
of our loss, forces memory to be silent,
fancy takes the place of remembrance,
and twines the image Of our dead par
ent with a garland of graccs and
beauties, and virtues, which we doubt
not she possessed.

Assessment and Taxation.

The trustees ofthe several townships
in Doniphan county met at Troy, the
county seat Of that county. on the 10Th
of April, and agreed to assess land from
$500 to $500 per acre.
The trustees of Greenwood county
met on the same day, at Eureka. and
agreed to assess Greenwood county
lands from 500 to $500 per acre.
The trustees of Butler county met at
Eldorado OH the ODD of April and agreed
to assess our bottom lands, unimprOv-
ed, from $500 to $500 per acre-im-
proved, 81 so in addition. Upland, un-
| improved, from $l.25 to $500 per acre
improved, $l.50 in addition.
| The state of Kansas must have a
sweet-scented assessment law, that
will allow lands in Doniphan county
| to be assessed at an average of 800
per acre, while lands in our county are
assessed at all average of $500 per acre.
DOniphan is one of the oldest, best
improved, most pOpulOus and wealthy
counties in the state. It.has railroads,
cities, manufactures and wealth, and
vet it's lands are to be assessed at half
the price of Butler county lands. Why
is this thus!
But, says one, the state board of
equalization will remedy this.
But, say we. the state board of equal
izatiOn are set of block-heads.
Last year they raised our valuation
on lands nearly quarter of million
dollars. The state board Of equaliza-
| ton knows no more about the value
of land in Kansas than does a govern
ment mule: and besides this they don't
want to know.
Now something ought to be done to
make this assessment somewhere equal.
We, who live in new and not very
well improved country, do not wish to
pay twice as much tax on our land as
DOniphan or any other county. We
love our country, the star spangled
banner and the goddess of liberty, but
then we do not wish to pay several
thousand dollars more than our pro-
pOrtionate share, to support the avari-
cious otiice-hOlder.
We think it is high time that some
thing was done to equalize taxation.-
Walnut Valley Times, May 8.
The Newton Kansaa of May 14th, re-
ferring to article in Walnut valley
Times of May 8, says:
We think this is one of the frauds
perpetrated by those older settle coun-
ties which should be put a stop to, and
the attention of the state board ofcqual-
iZatiou should be called to the matter.
Nearly all the land in this part of the
state was assessed last year at not less
than this, and generally more--whcre
land is not valued by the owners at
one-fourth:w they are in those older
portions of the state. They should be
assessed somewhere near what they
are worth. and not be allowed to shirk
their rightful proportion of taxation
and helping to keep the state machinery
| in mott on.

A good deal of opposition is d

A good deal of opposition is devel-
oping, in southern quarters, TO the
civil rights bill, which still remains on
the speakers table in the house. Rev.
DIR. Peter, of Richmond, at the late
meeting of the Baptist home missiona-
ry at Washington, expressed the opin-
ion that its passage would be ruinous
to the educational interests of the
south: and Rev. DIR. Sears, one of the
trustees of the Peabody educational
fund, is accredited with similar views.
Senator Brownlow, of Tennessee, talk
in the same way. The complaint Is
based on the assumption that the meas
ure requires black and white children
to be educated together: but we do
not Understand that it prevents vol
,usAry separation, with equal privi-
feges to both classes.

Dispatches from the Texas frontier
state that perfect reign of terror pre-,
walls on the Rio Grande, owing TO the
lawless condition Of affairs there. Rob
berries and murders by Mexicans and
Indians are of frequent occurrence, and
threats have been made by the former
to burn the town of Corpus Christie.
1t is about time that General Nckinzie
was led loose on that crowd again. A
few more effective cavalry raids would
be more salutary than whole years
diplomatic correspondence.

A DESIRABLE CuANoE,-rhe reliable
Washington correspondent Of the Boston
1dcuiiser announces an important move
ment on the part of the President, which,
from its startling innovation upon the pres
emit mode of distributing the patronage of
the government, we should look upon with
incredulity coming from almost any other
source lie says it has been found that
under the practice of the Senate ench Re
publican member of that body is allowed to
have absolute control of the patronage in his
section, so that the President is obliged TO
make such nominations for al local offices
as are demanded by Senators. In several
southern states the whole patronage has
thus been thrown by the Senate into the
hands of a single man, there being but one
Republican from the state. The effect of
this has now been found to he that nearly
all branches of the public service in some of
these states are in the hands Of men totally
unfit to hold government positions. The
whole ground is being closely examined and
numerous changes may be looked Tor soon.
In one or two states il is the present purpose
to remove nearly every federal oifice-holder,
and in their places put men known at the
various departments to be fitted fof the po-
sitions, and to do this whether the various
Senators interested agree to it or not, and
throw the responsibility of the rejection
of suitable men upon sbe Senate. Many of
the complaints which reach the departments
from various parts Of the South IN regard to
these federal otice-holders, are known at the
DEPARTMENTS TO be well founded, and the IN
tention is to remedy the evil wherever it ex-
lists, IN the manner indicated

New Departure In business.

From the returns made to the agricultural
department at Washington, it is safe to
draw the conclusion that never before, in
the history Of the country were there so
many dollars in value in the hands of the
producing class as to-day. This unprece-
lentcd amount of produce the world needs,
and it must be distributed wherever the de
mand exists and, in the process of shipping
it to the required point, and converting it
into money consists the hope Of a restored
condition Of trade. Since the great panic OF
last year, and the almost universal distrust
which succeeded, there has been little op-
portunity or inclination for the putting out
Of money into general circulation. The
great depression Of railway interests, result
ing from impractcable schemes and wild
expansions, suddenly checked investments
on this account while all other expenditures,
especially for general manufacturing and
building purposes, or anything Of perna-
nent character, almost entirely ceased
Money, therefore, accumulated at the fnan
cial centres. During all this time the great
cities have been overlooking with money
locked up by reason Of a lack of confidence
while in almost all country localities it has
been scarce ia the extreme The producer
has found slow and poor market for his
crops; the merchant u duh and restricted
trade and of course the blow has in the end
fallen heavily on the importer aud manuiac-
turer. But if relief was ever promised from
any pressure, it is now. The abundance
that the earth has produced is not only GER
tainly secured, but it is so universally diff
| fused-willnee 10 be gathered from 50 many
| hands, and from such varied sections of the
country. that literal streams Of currency will
be set in motion all over the land, which
ought soon to give ease in money, and re-
store business in merchandise to its normal
condition.
While there are numerous interests that
will feel the influence Of this free circulation
Of money, there are many departments of
commerce that it will take longer time and
more favoring circumstances to revive. FIX
cesses of all kinds must be atoned for,
whether in the construction of railways, the
building of warehouses aud dwellings, the
production and manufacture Of iron, lumber,
or any other symptom of over-trading. 1t
will take more than year and that Of re-
stricted trade more than one crop, abundant
though it may be, to restore the equilibrium
of supply and demand for things that the
people can and will do without. But for the
revival of legitimate trade and profit IN
merchandise for the filling Of the want,
of consumers, great faith may reasonably
be placed in the movement of the crops.
1t will take some months to accomplish al
that is hoped for in this movement for the
very abundance OF the product may retarC
the realization. Lower prices than have
been paid for some time may prevail, an'
farmers and planters are slow to sell in a de
l clining market But whether it takes week
or months, whether the deliveries are earl.
or late, the wealth is in the country, an,
+ Ipust be realized.

A Big HAuL.-A North Truro (Mass.)
telegram says much excitement exists there
over tremendous catch of blackfsh, a large
school of which were driven ashore, Thurs
day. The school comprised thirty fish.
When they were discovered everything in
the shape Of a boat was started to get be-
hind them, and the loudest shouts and noises
made to drive them toward the shore. As
soon as the depth of water would allow, the
men jumped in and lanced every one OF
them, and the wind and the tide soon drifted
them on to the beach, where the work OF
stripping off the blubber Immediately com
menced in the surf. The fish were mostly
large, weighing from two to four thousand
pounds. There were three or four little kit
tens, weighing from one hundred and fift,
TO four hundred pounds.

PooR Snow.--The United States did not

twelve hundred, and France with nine hun.
dred and twenty. Our list comprised eighty,

But as this does not include probably all
tlloae u foreign varieties which are surrep-
titiously but successfully manufactured in
this country we may rest satisfied Indeed
If we only made forty kinds, perhaps, quality
and morals both considered, we ought to be
all tho prODder of our record.
