To Gen. Crook:

williams Letter OF Acceptance.

AUGUSTA, August 2S.-The letter o.
Hon. J. H. Williams, accepting the Dem.
ocratic nomination for Governor oil
Maine, contains the following:
In relation TO the resolutions adopted
by the nominating Convention, consider.
ing the second resolution, nowhere find
in it any impeachment Of President
Hayes TO the high Office which he now oc
cupies, and have no difficulty in accord.
ing TO ii my full concurrence that Hayes
title, though stoutly contested, was recog.
nized and became valid by the decision
Of the tribunal which acted under the
authority Of law, to which all parties and
all States, through their Senators and
Representatives in Congress, had given
their deliberate assent. The fraud charg
dby tha: resolution referred, as under.
stand from the language used, to the
transactions which took place in the dis
charge OF the functions OF the Returni ne
Boards OF Louisiana and other States AZ
illegal and fraudulent acts, within the
competency OF those States respectively
to deal with, but which, in the view
taken by the electoral commissioners
might have occurred as alleged and yet
be beyond the range Of their jurisdiction
to judicially determine.
The third resolution combines my un-
derstanding Of the scope and intent Of
the second, as above expressed, contain.
ing as it does the recognition Of the wis.,
dom Of the Presidents Southern policy,
which, in turn, is an admission on BIZ
part Of the sonndness OF the doctrine Of
the Democratic party upon that subject
The entire series OF resolutions therefore
have my unqualified approval.

,,,,, Real Estate and Personal
" Property.

We observe that in the cities oil New
York, Chicago and St. Louis there has
hssD . noticeable decline in the value Of
real estate and personal property, as re-
turned By the assessors, since laa! year.
And We zee It also stated that this Ia the
c,,p in ten Of the leading cities Of the
country. Wepresume the same thing has
occurred in very many Of the smaller
cities and towns Of the land.
i has not, however, been the case In
Wheeling, as the figures lately handed in
by the City Assessor will show, In every
ward there has been an increase in the
value Of real property, and in every one
but three an increase in personally. The
real estate OF the city Is returned at slO,.
3O3,e9l for 1877 as aSasainst sO,0i3,42l for
1876, and the personally at $685. ,G99 az
against $i,s23,244.
In regard to the personal prop
erty 1t is only fair to say that
there is a variance In the figures
returned by some Of the banks and those
returned by the assessor, but even &C.
cepting the Ggures OF the banks there will
sill remain an increase in the value OF
personal property in the city over last
year.
Not only did the aggregate value Of
increase in the city in 1876
The year Of the greatest depression since
the panic-but also our population IN.
creased from 81, 1888 to 2S,97O. For conve.
nient reference we herewith append table
showing the population Of the city, by
school districts, for the years 1877 and
1876, and the property valuation in each
Of the Wards. II Is as follows:
