RATE OF TAXATION IN OHIO
COUNTY.

We publish elsewhere very interest
ing communication from this county re-
lating to the burden of State taxation
put upon US. Our correspondent gives
official figures showing that the four
counties of Brooke, Hancock, Ohio and
Marshall, in the year 1874, paid about
one-siIth Of all the taxes collected in the
State, and Ohio county alone paid very
than one-ninth of the whole amount.
Now, when it is remembered that there
are ffty-four counties in West Virginia,
it will be readily imagined that such an
assessment is entirely out OF all
proportion. But it seems that even this
did not suit the ideas Of
tho commissioners appointed to revalue
the property of the different counties IN
1875, for they, instead of reducing our
taxation, increased the Ohio county as
sessment $2,577, ,5S925, making our bur-
den still more disproportiorate. Or
course we are aware that the wealthiest
and most eDterprising counties have to be
taxed the largest amount; but because
county is enterprising and therefore
wealthy, it is certainly unjust TO make it
bear more than its equitable share OF the
public burden, ard when it is considered
that we pay now about one eighth of all
the taxation in State of ffty-four
counties, 1t is prinaa taeie case OF injus-
tice. The great point to be ascertained
then is, whether the average assessment
of lands in this county is not excessive,
when compared with the actual market
value of lands in other counties. We
trust that the present Equalization
Board will giveth matter due consider
alton. and do by our property holiers
what is strictly right.

THE CABIN ET.



Pcr,mit Him 10 he Connected with ~.
From the N. Y. Hcraldl
Il is n question whether the whole
Cabinet should not resign. The Admin
istrntion IL rotten, and millions OF pco-
pie who did not believe s9.yesterday are
convinced Of IL to-day. The confession
of the guilty Secretary Of War Is n reve-
lation. Hc could not have been guilty
of the crimes he has confessed and re-
NAMED undiscovered In u Cabinet that
was pure. It Is day OF Judgment. The
political heavens are rolled together
like scroll and are consumed with fire !;
vainly the wicked call on the mountains
to overwhelm them and hide thom from
the wrath to come.
The terrible force OF Secretary Bel
knap's confession, the horrible meaning
that is embodied In his guilt, is unbrok-
en- by the fact that there are pure mon
in the Presidents Cabinet. He was
their associate, and they were jointly
with him the Presidents advisers.
Their Ia not entirely divided RESPONSE
bility In the Cabinet. Mr.. Fish, and
Mr.. Bristow, and Mr.. Jewell are not
merely officers charged with. the con-
duct Of affairs Of State, OF the Treas
ury and the PostofIlce. The Cabinet Is in
its highest capacity u unit. Every mem
Der az it has the honor Of the Govern
ment In his keeping, and that honor
cannot be lost by one without more or
less responsibility attaching to the
others. Were these men blind, that
they could not see, till q Democratic
Congress compelled them, that the head
OF the War Department was selling the
soul Of the Government? They were
blind for we do not believe them cor
49, <hn;r h1inIpaou hac Uivan the
nation eternal shame. Because OF the
indifference Of the President and the
Cabinet to the scandals which long ago
darkcned the War Department the
country is now humiliated In dust and
ashes.
The pure members Of corrupt ad.
ministration are like living men chained
to a CORPSE. We presume that the first
thought OF Mr.. Fish when he knew OF
this fearful fall Of his colleague was
whether he could in self-respect remain
a member of disgraced Cabinet. This
is not the first disgrace, but the culml-
nation Of a long series OF 1nfamles tnat
are part Of the history OF the Admin
istration. The corruptions OF the Gov
ernment are so numerous and notorious
that it ia a question whether the self
respect Of an honest and honorable man
will permit him to be connected with 1t.
We are more sorry to write this OF the
Government Of the United States than
any American citizen can be to read 1t
but we write simply what is the truth;
It is question, we. say, whether tne
whole Cabinet should not resign, and,
happily, we are not called upon to
answer it. Mr.. Fish and Mr.. Bristow
must Judge for themselves. But one
duty they have to perform is plain. IL
they remain in this rotten. disgraced
Administration, they must demand OF
the President the authority to reform it.
That is the only condition upon which
sejf-respect and a Cabinet office can now
be reconciled. If the President refuses
to concede this right, the sooner all
honest men leave him the better II
will be for themselves and for the
country.
