The New Assessment Law.


The Comptroller has decided that sew
ing machines Ia the hands Of those who
work them by hand, in household manu-.
features, are exempt from assessment and
taxation under the law, being the work.
ing tools Of household manufacturers.
This does not apply to sewing machines
kept on sale as an article Of trade and
and merchandise. He has also decided
that where person is well known to the
assessors not to possess property to the
amount of one hundred dollars in value,
such person is not Liable to taxation under
chapter 260, of 1876, and need not be en-
tered on the assessment books. In all
cases where the amount is uncertain the
person must be assessed, in order to as
certain whether his property amounts to
one hundred dollars in value or not. The
Comptroller is in constant receipt of appli-
cations for his opinion upon the construc-
tion OF the assessment law.
Gold and silver watches are not includ-
ed in the new assessment law, but the
Comptroller has instructed the assessors
that they must be returned to the Board
Of ControlAnd Review, for final judicial
determination of tho question whether
they are taxable or not.

portion of the law in regard to taxing
church property to mean that churches

The Government Printing Office.

The report of the committee which has
been investigating the management of the
government printing Office discloses a
seandalous story of jobbery and corruption.
The evidence taken by it shows that Mr.
Clapp has been charging for work upwards
of one hundred and twenty five per cent.
more than private establishments, and
that his office in every department has
been conducted in the most reckless and
extravagant manner. In the House reso-
lutions were introduced instructing the
Speaker to certify the testimony to the
district attorney Of Washington to the end
that MIR. Clapp may be indicted and pro-
secuted, and directing the judiciary CON-
mittee to inquire whether he is an officer
who comes within the impeachment cate

been for years the most gigantic kind of

New England Repablcanisln.

The Republicans o. Massachusetts met
in State Convention, last week, at Boston.
Hon. John Il. Sapferd speaker Of the
Massachusetts, House of Representatives
presided In his address to the Conyen-
ton he handed over the Administration
Of President Grant to perdition, His
words sound like malediction. He said:
''No, the protest is not against the record
or creed, but against methods of administra-
ton; against dominant influences and tenden.
cies that have debased the character and tone
Of the public service; against leadership
that has welded power and patronage for its
own ends and not for the public good; against
a partisanship narrow, intense and violent,
that has usurped the place Of broad aad en-
lightened craftsmanship and repealed Access
sions Of recognized character and ability as
an element too repugnant to be tolerated;
corrupted the standards of official honesty
and turned places Of public trust into oppor-
tnnities ofprivate gain or public plunder.h
One would suppose that an Administn-
ton so derelict as this, would be very
unlikely quarter in which to look for the
political reformer who is destined to sweep
away its abomination. And yet, in the
eyes Of the Massachusetts Republicans, it
would appear that the very infamy Of
Grants administration is to be used as a
foil for the singular purpose of setting of
the virtue ascribed to President Grants
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Bristow, q
part and parcel of the very Administration
which they SO loudly and justly denOunce
This, however, is the consistency of New
England Republicanism.

The ONO CoNvENTIoN.-Thi body
assembled on Wednesday. The imitation.

the outset, put Mr.. Pendleton in the chair,
endorsed ex-Gov. Allen for President, and
by the decisive vote of 1856 to 266 adopted
a platform containing all the worst here.
sizes of the 'grecnback" party stated in
the most offensive way. They demand
the immediate repeal Of the Resumption
act, and declare perpetual war against all
schemes for resumption that involve con.
traction Of the currency or an increase of
the Understanding debt. Mr., Thurman
was effectually snubbed, and may be con-
sidercd out of the Presidential race.
The testimony at Washington is not
calculated, on the whole, to strengthen the
confidence of the country in Mr.. Blaine.
Director Harrison's testimony was fully
confirmed by unwilling witnesses, but Tom
Scott explained the mysterious and sus-
picious transactions in way that Mr..
Blaines friends will probably claim is
quite satisfactory. Col Tom Scott is
good deal of man, but we don't believe
the country wants to be indebted to him
for President, nor To have President

The Lexington (Ky.) Press says that
Senator Bayard's course, during seven

BattIo Of long Island.


Tho New York IRorh wants ecntcn-
nial eoumcmoration Of tho battle of Long
Island, the anniversary Of which will be
on the 10Th Of next August. Speaking Of
the engagement, the World says
The most desperate fighting was in the
neighborhood Of Greenwood. There u
gallant southern regiment, the very flower
Of the youth aud chivalry Of Maryland,
who had come here to help their northern
brethren, were cut to pieces, not fourth
Of their number escaping Over the
fields, now crossed and recrossod by broad
avenues, and where Prospect park is laid
out, the battle ragged. At nightfall 1t was
evident to Washington that Brooklyn
could not be held. Then during the dark.
ness he withdrew his whole army march
ing it, by regiments aud battalions, down
the winding country road, which is now
Fulton street, to the ferry, where he stood
all night long experimenting its embarka-
ton. At sunrise the American army
with the larger part Of its munitions Of
warfare, was securely on this side Of the
river, and the escape was not until then
discovered by the advance guard of the
invaders, who had been sleeping within a
few yards Of the American outworks.
And again A BETTING feature Of this
celebration would be military parade in
which troops from the states that were
represented in the battle of Long Island
should be invited to take part. Under
that call the States Of Maryland, Dela-
ware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connec-
ticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts
would be summoned Let US help along
the era Of good feeling which this year is
evoking by determination of our national
guard with that splendid Maryland rcgi
ment which visited Bunker Hill last year,
on the spot within musket shot of Pros
pect park where northern and southern
valor one hundred years ago disputed the
advance of Dc Holsters Hessians and
Howe's grenadiers.
The idea is an excellent one, and If.
New York will set the ball in motion we
shall have centennial celebration that
will throw Bunker Hill in the shade.

The question of opening the Centennial
Exposition on Sunday is still agitated in
Philadelphia, and there is talk Of town
meeting to protest against the closing.
The opposition to the closing was revived
by the fact that the day has not been re-
garded in making preparations for the
opening. Sunday last was an especially
busy day inside the enclosure, and sharp
criticisms were made upon what was called
egregious Inconsistency in utterances and
action. Ii was argued that these were
works of necessity, but the strict Saba
tarians replied with yigor that it would be
better to delay the opening day than that
jot or title of 'the American Sabbath"
should be abused
