THE REGISTRY BUREAU.

Some Points an nfayor Of its Retention and
aqafnst the Proposition for ITS AJol-
ashment.
The Registry Bureau, the establish.
ment OF which was authorized by tile
last Ssate Legislature, has been in
operation for some time, and about A.
600 properties are now plotted on the
Bureau books, 1t is designed TO get
every property in the city plotted on
these books, with the size, description,
and name of owner attached to each.
The main object of the Bureau is 10
enable city and county assessors to OBJ
tain complete property assessment,
and to facilitate the sale and transfer
of real estate by giving to all interes-
ted persons a clearer and more com
prehensive idea of the description and
location of city properties than can be
obtained from the records at New
Castle.
Many citizens, however, believe that
the continuance of the Registry Blu
reau is an annoyance and useless ex-
pense, and have circulated petitions
urging the present Legislature to re-
peal the law authorizing its establish
ment. The officers of the Surveying
Department have therefore prepared
the following points referring to the
usefulness. of the Registry Bureau and
the necessity for its continuance:
First-It will be when finished,
complete and exact plot of property
owned in the city, as per description.
Second-It will assist the city Off
GERS in assessing for curbing and paw
ing and laying water pipe, etc, by
giving the exact number Of feet, and
the ownership.
Thlrd-It will enable the city and
county assessors to give the ownership
and exact location OF property, and
prevent errors in assessments.
Fourth--It will assist the Board OF
Rovision in correcting assessments.
Fifth-It will point ont errors in
lines already existing, thereby enal-
ling property owners to have them
correct, and prevent recurrance OF
such errors in future.
Sixth-It will secure tie assessment
of all property in the city, and prevent
the animal loss to the city of the taxa
tion on at least 500, 900 worth of pro-
perty, not assessed from the inability
of the assessors to find owners and
location, and thereby eqnaliZe the as
sessment.
Seventh-It will be the only correct
and reliable reference in the city, and
will be invaluable to all purchasers of
property and the Investments of bonds
and mortgages.
Eighth-'Eo repeal the law would en-
tail a direct loss of the cost and labor
already incurred (as all the expenses
of books necessary to the completion
of the work have already been paid
and lose to the city and county annu-
ally the tax on all property not assess
ed. The total cost of the books and
blanks is SG2320. There have been
four months of labor expended already
in laying out the city, and drafting in
about 4 600 descriptions by the four
craftsmen in the Surveying Depart
ment, at no additional cost to the
city.

= Tsyenfysayc Cents Tax.
Union and American.

The lowest rate of State tax yet propos.
ed by eny member Of the present LegiS
lature is twenty-five cents, As the object
! is to relieve the people as much as pos 81
! bic, let us see the amount of relief that
would be afforded by the amount named.
Let us be practical. The amount of re-
duction would be fifteen cents on the one
hundred dollars. Apply this to various
grades OF taxpayers, from the lowest up
ward:
Take the negro who has bought and
fenced H. Yith brush two or three acres
of raw clay hillside, Oh which lie strings
together cabin partly Of wood and can
vas aud bark. The whole rig is worth
less than hundred dollars, but if he pays
taxes on that amount he saves exactly
fifteen Gems N the course of twelve
months-one cent and a quarter per
month. How much will that relieve him?
To what extent will it better his condi
tom vii. it make the pot boil faster or
his family more thrifty However much
or little it might be, one drink less of
Christmas cEgnog would relieve his tinan>
ces lust as much.
Ascending higher in the scale, let US
take the poor but provident mechanic,
who owns a little home assessed at 81 900.
How much relief you'd twenty-five
cents State tax afford him7 Exactly one
dollar and fifty cents in the course of
year-not quite three cents a week
What additional comforts dare he venture
to indulge, on this small margin? The
loss o. hGif a days work in the whole
year would eounterpa,eac2 all the relief
thus generously afforded him by the State
at the cost of repudiated pledges of but
two years standing. Is not this selling
honor too cheap? Is there one mechanic
or workingman in the State who would
ask such a pitii4l az such a costly sacr-
fee? No, the bone and slnew of Tennes-
see are not of those who would trihe with
our credit, driving capital from our Dor
ders. 1t is men who do not labor with
their hands that are engaged in these
Jimfskiau neutrality-suspicious., politi-
CLANS, demagogues.
Ascending higher in the scale Of wealth
let US take Taxpayer 2ssessad at $1,000
and learn what surcease from eorro5' LIZ
could extract out of twenty-five cents
tax. The amount of his reduction would
be SIS, or about twenty-nine cents "a week,
the price of two drinks. So much for the
$40 goo men. They are in Il decided mi
nority, but both law and morals decree |
that they should pay in proportion to |
their less Formulate neighbors, whose ag |
gregate taxes protect their $4,000 in |
peaca, and whose bodies and lives protect
it in war,
After thus dispassionately reyieuiEg
The amount of relief that State tax Of
twenty-five cents would afford to all class
IS, and considering on the other hand
hat such & rate il calcElated, if not de-
signed, to prevent the payment OF inter
,st pledged only two Years ago by Dem
,cratic Legislature elected as freely by
he people as was the present body,
We can reach but one conclusion: The !
lcgrce of relief offered is frightfully small

There has been nothing as yet SO trag-
ic as the contemplation Of TiIton by
Beecher. When his enemy rose to take
the vacant chair, Beechcr was whisper
ing earnestly to Judge Porter. The cleo
trio shock which startled the audience
violently broke short that conversation
Looking up to see the cause OF it, Beech
er found himself face to lace with Titon
For moment the fascination siupefed
him. He grew paler and paIer, until he
was winter than he will be when he lies
dead. The change from his usual red
ness to worse than mortal pallor was in
describabie. He looked as if, with one
huge gulp, his heart had swallowed every
drop of Blood in his body and then had
stopped, His face wore an expression
Of horror, as it he were peeriug in a
looking glass and found Death grinning
over his shoulder. The apparition of his
accuser was a stupeudous surprise, and for
an instant, it petrIfed him. His recovery
was slow. The shock unnerved him, and
he could not escape Tilton'8 haunting
eyes unless he closed his own Innocent
or guilty, with those relentless orbs blister
ing his heart, any man would have been in
agony. Iilton did not look at Beecher
He looked into him, as if his body were
nebulous, with one tOrturable spot in the
centre which the moon-freezing crystal
of his sight could pierce like an internal
panr
