DEATH OF JOHN FOX,

! It is with sincere regret that we hear O.
the death of our old time friend, Mr.. Johr
Fox, which took place in New York, on Tues
day, the 10th inst Mr.. Fox was native o.
Charleston, s. c.; came here in 1847, when
he became employed as clerk in the we'll
known house of James Conoly & Co.. Of
which he soon after became partner. When
that house stopped business in New Orleans,
Mr. Fox removed to New York and soon took
the position of chief member and manager OF
the extensive Steamship Agency Company Of
Livingston, Fox & Co.
At the time Of his death Mr.. Fox was one
of the firm of Fox, Flash & Co., commission
merchants in New York.
Mr.. John Fox's first wife was Miss Watts,
Of Fayette, North Carolina, by whom he had
two sons-both Of whom died. His second
wife was Miss Bouligny, daughter of that old
time and highly respected citizen, Mr. Gus
tave Bouligny. He leaves wife and four
children to mourn over the loss of an affsc-
tionate husband and an indulgent father.
Mr.. John Fox was most accomplished mer-
chant, was strictly and scrupulously honest
in his dealings with his fellow men, and came
as near being a perfect man, professionally
and socially, as any person we ever knew here
or elsewhere There are many of us, belong
ing to the anciea regime, who will take pleas
ure and pride in cherishing the memory of
that honest merchant, genial companion and
true friend, John Fox.

A WORD ABOUT THE ASSESSORS.

| We have it upon very excellent authorlt,
that some-nearly all-of the assessors O
this parish are increasing the valuation on
property from 20 to so per cent.
Communications come to US very otter
making complaints, but usually complaining
is regarded by the assessors Gas the idle
wind" The higher the assessments the more
the money for the assessor under the present
Ubiquitous law, and hence when property.
owner walks into the Office and enters q
complaint Mr.. Assessor, as a rule, elevates
his eyebrows, shrugs his shoulders, and init
mates that the figures are like the laws Of the
Medes and Persians-un changeable. 1t is
or SIS, 900 500, 600, and the commission give
per cent?, you know, is not to be sneezed at.
There is no reason why property should be
assessed one dollar more this year than it was
last year; indeed, there are great many very
cogent reasons why amounts should be re-
duced, and if the assessors were not blind to
everything but their own commissions, they
would see the business depression, and make
their figures more in accordance with facts
There is no little feeling manifesting itself
about this matter and if the board does not
mend its ways promptly and make their
assessments more reasonable and just We
shall be compelled to pay our respects to them
often and in no very agreeable way.
1t is but fair in this connection to say that
We have no complaint from owners of real
estate in the First District, where the assess
ment seems to be made with much more fair
ness than in the others, and in which proper
reductions are obtained without unnecessary
circumlocufion.
Perhaps the examination which commences
on Monday in regard to the charge made by
Mr.. Wahl, may lead to some disclosures
which will rebound to the public good. Mr.
JOS F. Herwig, the President of the Board,
assures us that every opportunity will be given
to have the matter thoroughly looked into,
with the view of detecting any improper
practices on the part of any member of the
board.
Let a thorough examination be made by all
means, for it is due to the decent members !
that their dishonest confreres (if any should
be pointed out and punished.

BUTLER AS A DEMAGOGUE.

professional politician and desponden
strange means to increase his stock in trade
and to borrow a working amount of conf
dence from the easily duped among the popu
lace. Starting out in his career with a goo6
supply of requisites for power and position
he needs but to announce his purpose, anG
reason out the justice of his claims; gradu
| ally, however, he finds it necessary to resor
to new and, generally, less powerful or honor
able means to further his ambitious aims.
| Finally, there appears to be no limit to the
| cringing or dishonorable means he is ready tc
seize upon, if thereby he may obtain the
least ray of hope to shadow forth the posi-
bility of his success. In proportion as he
yields to what he deems the necessities of the
case, he seems to grow in the belief that the
people are more easily convinced of his great
ability and fitness for power, and therefore he
does not hesitate to indulge in the most pa
tent absurdities, or to adopt the most transpa-
rent efforts to gull the popular mind.
At the O'Oonnell celebration, in Boston,
Gen. Butler addressed the assemblage, and
suddenly developed into full-fedged Irish.
man. He expressed the hope that Ireland
would soon rule New England, and that New
England would rule the rest of the United
States, and this for the reason that he was
himself remote son of Ireland. If it had
once occurred to Benjamin that he was
making himself supremely ridiculous, he
might have been saved the full measure of
contempt which has undoubtedly been melted
out to him by every honest, nay, every rea-
sonable man who heard or read of his remark.
The great reflection cast by him in this re-
mark upon the Intelligence Of his Irish audi
tors, could not have been so CLOSED over as to
prevent its being clear to the mind of every
thinking man among his listeners. He was in
vited to address them on topics relating to the
man whose memory they had resolved that
day to honor, but he seized the opportunity
to make political investment, basing his
hope for successful issue on his belief IN the
gullibility of his patriotic audience.
The very idea of the hint given to marshal
Americans, to battle in the coming campaign,
should have been received with expressed de-
rision at the moment of its utterance, and
that it was not, is doubtless owing to the fact
that as they had invited the orator to address
them, they felt compelled to listen with re-
spect no matter what judgment they may
have formed of the fitness of his remarks
1t is hardly the true character Of Irishmen
to bs led by any political vulture who may
profess love for their country or their insti-
buttons, and it is not to be credited that they
have ever thought of forming political league
IN any section of this country with the in ent Of
massing together all their countrymen to up
hold that section in power against all others.
However eloquent or appropriate may have
been the rest of Buffers Grafton, that sentence
alone should damn him in the estimation of
Ill honest and faithful Irishmen IN this coun-
.ry.

1t is said that Judah P. Benjamin, formerly
Secretary of State of the Nouthern Confederacy,
who is now "plesding law in the courts Of
Guildhan and Westminster IN London, is making
money 80 fast that in order to find time to count
it he has to get up every morning five or ten
hours before day. No, they don't say exactly
that, either; but they do say that he makes
flO 900 year by his practice, which is an extra
ordinary sum for blarsted American to make at

In Scotland they have narrow, open
bitches, which they call sheep drains. A
man was riding donkey across sheep pas
ture, but when the animal came to a sheep
drain he would not go over it. So the man
rode him back shert distance, turned him
round and applied the whip, thinking, of
course, that the donkey when going at the
top of his speed, would jump the drain before
he knew it. But not SO. When the donkey
got to the drain he stopped all of a sudden
and the man went over Mr.. Nsddy's head,
No soonerhad he touched the ground than he
got up, and looking the beast straight in the
face, he said, "Verra weel pitched; but then

of anecdotes. His bride at the same time re-

Which strips the defiance of it's phantasies,

Making the cold reality too real.
Perhaps, as he sits there cross-legged on
the Canada side," he is thinking that his
thread of life WAKES short, or that he has made
q goose Of himself in his younger days. He
may mediate upon the sheer luck which
other men have enjoyed and the success with
which they have cabbaged fortunes, while his
own life is mere waste-poor stuff scarcely
worth cutting and trimming. Everything
based on hope seems him to sad irony. Life
passes, stitch by stitch, and the board is grow

been so gored by misfortune that life does
not seem worth set of buttons. His thoughts
are in twist, and his skein is tangled. He
is unsuited to the time and finds everything a

may be told of him, but he will soon be fin
