New York, April 9.-Inquiry into
the Jewets tragedy elicits few certain
ties. Az to important facts Charles
Jewest and Joseph A. Dean will not
say anything about the wrongs Of
which Orville d. Jcwett complained.
Yeu may rest assurcd," said coroner
Ellingsr yesterday, "that the theory
Of suicide i absurd. It's creation Of
men whose Imagination is greater
than their regard for truth. For in
atance take the porter, Thomas A.
Jsckson. He told me he wss sitting
q his breakfast when he heard An ex-
plosioo. Further than that he said
h knew nothing. He now comes
forward and says be saw George w.
Jewett and Orville D. Jewett in their
death grapple. ! asked him how he
could have seen that. He said, the
moment the explosion occurred |
rsahed down stairs, and saw smoke
coning from the Office Of Jewett &
Sons ran to the hall door which
leads into tho rear room. The glass
pancs Of the door were broken, and /
thrust my hesd through: saw Or
vile D. and George w. Jswett in =
deadly conflict.
Il said. you told me you knew
nothing Of the tragedy, but now. you
aay you saw these men just At the
time Of the explosion. Since then
have youb cen approached by any one
who offered money oyou TO give this
statement, Jackson in muttering
voice mid Aftihst hat t told told yyea the
day Of the occurrence was correct.
/ do not believe Orville Dewey Jewett
shOt himself.
The coroner later said: II would
place al these men under arrest, but
should | do 80, am afrsid they would
become more rctiocnt than they now
sre. That Orville D. Jevet commit
ted suicide is simply absurd. He
could not have fred the shots even il
- hsd an intention Of doing it. A
few days will develop this matter.
think I nm on the right track. :"
The coroner questioned Mr.. Dear
y his house to-dSy, concerning the re
cent explosion, but obtained substan
i tially Only rsiteration Of the state
msnt that his, Deans, recollection o
the affair was indistinct aud vague
Ths coroner also took tho stitemcn

OFFICE COMPTROLLER GENERAL,
COLUMBIA, July %, 1877.
The laws regulating tho assessment of real es-
tate and the provisions for attachments and cor
rections construed at this Office as follows:
1. The valuation Of oil real estate subject to
taxation is fixed once in five years. Those en-
trusted with the duty Of making this valuation
are to assess it at its then estimated "true value
in money! and until another five years have
elapsed, no reduction Of the aggregate assess
ment of the real property Of any county can be
made, whatever the decreased value Of the same
may be.
2. The annual County Board of Equalization
,may redistribute the valuations Of real proper
ty in their respective counties, subject to the
following restrictions:
First. They may raise values, when in their
opinion too low. to what they believe to be the
"true Values
Second. They may reduce values, when in
their opinion too high Gin comparison with the
average valuation OF the county" to that stand
ard. This rule does not authorize q reduction
Of the assessment Of any parcel of real proper
worth less than tho assessed value, but only
when the assessed value is higher relatively
than the average valuation Of the county.
Third. They shall not reduce the value of the
real property in any county below the aggregate
assessment Of the State Board
From the above provisions Of the law it will
be seen that when reduction Is made upon the
assessment of one parcel of real property, the
amount Of that reduction must be distributed
by prOportionate additions to the values of every
other parcel of real property in the same coun-
ty; that from the necessity of the case, such ac-
ton OF the County Boards can only he had at

THE FIRST FRA UDULENT PRESI-
DENT.

The curious comedy of President ma
king, now terminated, has had in it nu-
merous incidents on which the American
people may be congratulated, but also
much that, in the eyes of impartial for
eign observers, inficts national stain.
To begin with the darker traits it is un-
deniable that the votes of probably three
of the Southern States, and certainly of
Louisiana, have been given to Mr.. Hayes
simply through the agencyiof deliberate
fraud. A President who directly and dis
tinctly owes his seat to the success of
such frauds stands in position unlike
that of any of his predecessors. No such
stain rested on one of them. 1t is also
fact that he is the first Chief Magistrate
of the Union who has failed to obtain
relative majority of the popular vote. He
might do so and still legally enter the
White House, for the votes are counted
by'States, and the electors are not in ex-
act proportion to the population of each
State. Still it is fact that, while Mr..
Lincoln and others failed to obtain an
absolute majority, they always polled a
higher number than any of their rivals.
In short Mr.. Tilden has the melancholy
consolation of peing the first man in
American history who, having at his
back clear absolute majority of the
popular vote, has not won the Presiden-
cy. Nay, more, the electors chosen to
nominate him secured success at the
polls, yet were ignored by State officials
resolved that Democrat should not win.
We have long heard from American
statesmen that the supremacy of the ma
jority was the guiding principle of their
institutions, but in this case it has been
deliberately set aside. The people, rath-
er than risk civil strife or prolonged un-
certainty, have decided just now to sub
init; but the precedent is perilous, and
this lone more victory" of the Republi-
cans will probably be their last.-LOndon
