THE TAXATION TILDEN DID NOT
REDUCE.

The claim has been made in behalf
of Governor Tilden that he had effect
ed a great reduction ia the taxation of
the State of New York during his term
as Governor. The New York Eceni,.0
Post. which has been very friendly to
Governor Tilden, disposes of that claim
in careful review of the course of the
State debt and taxation.
The Post, in the course Of its review.
shows that, although the debt of the
State was very heavy, large appropTi-
ations for seetarian charities were
made in the years 1868, 1870. and 1871,
when the Democrats had full control;
that the Sinking funds set apart for
the payment of the debt were depleted
Tor other purposes. that under the Ad-
funds had been fully restored and the
requirements of the debt completely
met; that Comptroller Hopkins am
nounced IN his report for 1873 that IA
tax of two mills would provide the
means to pay all the bounty debt on
its maturity, in April, 1876, and that
this was so nearly exact that the tax
to finish the payment of this debt is
this year only one-third of mill" 1t
asserts that the tax to meet the current
expenditures of the Government is
precisely the same this year as last
year; that there has been DO saving in
expense, and that the people of New
York pay so much less in taxes because
the debt having been wiped out, they
pay so much less to meet its demands
The Post says: ''The tax for 1875.
calculated on the valuation of 1874 and
levied on the valuation of 1875, pro
duced surplus of 81. $50, S33 So, which
had only to be applied to the reduction
of the taxes of 1876. To the existence
of this surplus and 10 the payment of
the bounty debt the reduction of our
taxes this year is principally dne."
Friendly as it has been, and is, to Gov
ernor Tilden, the Post adds, 1T is not
just to give to Governor Tilden the
credit for large reduction with which
he has directly nothing to do"
The whole matter of the reduction
of taxation in the State of New York
is thus summarized: In 1875, over
s., 900, 900 of taxes were levied to meet
the requirements of the public debt
In 1876, only 800, 600 in taxes are
needed to meet the public debt require
mehts, the debt having been practical
ly paid off. The reduction CT taxes this
year comes from this reduction of debt.
This great reduction of the debt was
accomplished under n Republican adj
ministration, which, by its fidelity, pro-
vided for over S19, 900, 900 in four
years.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY BY RAIL.

The Missouri River at Platt's mouth
is nearly, if not quite, ole mile wide.
At the time we cross It the waters are
high and swift, caused by recent falls
of snow and rain. The waters are no.
ted for their muddy appearance at NIL
times. On the West siie, on which
Platt's mouth is situated, the bluffs
come very near to the river side, ex-
cept Just at the mouth of the Platte,
at which there is quite Il level plain.
At Oseopolis, some six miles from
the river, n road from Omaha. seven
teen miles distant, joins the Burlington
and Missouri river road, west of which
there is but one line of road. OseopO-
lis is purely paper town, as there is
not house yet built here, but there
is room enough to build town as
large as New York City. The line OF
the B. l. NJ. road for forty miles is up
the Platte river, much of the time
along the very shores. This is Q mag
nificent river, in size, but In conse-
auence of the shallowness of its waters,
and the immense quick sand beds and
islands, it is net Il beauty. There Is
much, however, that is interesting
about this river The change OF see
merry is frequent, and at times quite
imposing. Now We creep along its
banks. the road on one side Overhung
by rocky bluffs, and on the other
close on the verge of the river. Again
we cross an immense plain or valley,
whilst Oh the other side is clearly dis
cernable the bluffs, covered with wav
ing grass or forests OF cotton wood,
whilst the stream itself is :hickly stud
ded with islands, some covered with
cotton wood and box alder, Others
nothing but the bare sand III heaps, or
in long stretches of barren wastes
This is certainly a remarkable stream.
At the town of Ashland, a very pref
ty little village, forty-four miles from
the river, we leave the Platte, and for
the next twenty-five miles we pass
through a most beautiful country, al
ternating with hill and valley, and In
many places dotted over with fertile
farms. comfortable farm buildings, and
other evidences of agricultural pros
perity. After passing the pleasant

BARGAIN AND SALEM CONGRESS-.

1t is to be hoped that people who are
watching the conduct of the ''Teforn"
party now-n- days will not fail to make
n note of the result of the contested
election betYern Messrs. Flatt and
Goode, of the Second District of Vir-
ginia. The telegraph gave account of
the vote on the ease last Friday, but
there was one point that it did not rx-
plain. lt ought To be understood
Mr. Goode is hard money Democrat
from Virginia. He represents the See
ond District of that State, and is n
member of the House Committee ON
Banking and Currency. HIS seat was
contested by a Republican napIed Platt,
who WINS undoubtedly elected. lie
had majority of the votes east and of
those returned to the State eanvassers.
The House Committee on Elections
made a careful examination of the east.
and decided in favor of Platt, three OF
the Democrats on the Cofr,..:At..s ..,..,
tanned his claim But the House, with
its characteristic partisan injustice, re-
fused to accept the report of IFS com
mittee, but rode over it rough shod
ard seated GoOde la order to do this
il was necessary TO make summary
work with the election returns, and
this was accordingly done. In one of
the precincts, all votes for ioode were
counted, all those for Platt thrown
out. In another where Piatt had n
majority, the whole vote on both sices
was rejected. In this way the Demo
cratic managers succeeded in figuring
out Il majority of thirteen for Mr.
Goode, and he was declare Il elected
1t WAS one of the most high handed,
partisan outragrs ever perpetrated in
Congress Now for the motive behind
it.
IL MIR. GOode were unseated il would
take him out of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee, where Morrison,
working in the interest of Tilien, is
straining every nerve to prevent "A re
peal of the resumption act in accord
anee with the demand of the st. Louis
platform. The loss Of one vote in that
Committee would destroy MOrrison's
power To prevent n repeal bill from
being reported. Mr.. GOode must be
retained, therefore, at ali hazards,
and We have described the method by
which this was done Four DAYS ago
Wneh thlS was rtpOFteu. we were HI
clined to doubt whether the whole
Democratic majority in Congress could
be manipulated ia a partisan eOIsPir
acy of this kind. The evidence that
this was the motive of Mr. Platt's out
rageous and unjust defeat by a vote Oi
the House, is now so complete that 1t
is no longer denied at Washington

TEACHERS should see that their
school houses are supplied with all nee
essary appliances before the term be
gins. In most cases these will be pur-
chased cheerfully as soon as the matter
is presented. The blackboard surface
in most country school houses is en-
tirely inadequate, or of such quality
as to be almost unfit for Use. All the
the available wall space should toe
painted fer this purpose. 1t costs but
n trifle TO provide IL sufliciency, and
no live teacher can afford to have his
efforts crippled for the sake of saving
n few dollars, and no Board of Direc-
tors can afford to practice such short
sighted economy. Frequently, also,
some repairs may be needed that
should be attended to before the term
opens, and it is part of the teachers
duty to see that these are made III time.
Some school houses are also lily pro
vided with crayors, pointers, erasers,
buckets, shovels, &c; these little
things cost but n trifie, but for the
want of which much vexation is caused.
Every school house should also he
supplied with small globe, numcral
frame, primary reading charts, call
bell, set of cubs, root blocks, and Il good
dictionary; in fact l think a teacher
can better afford to buy these things
himself tlan to do without them.
