a NATURAL consequences. - The
Mayor of New York estimates the
amount of untaxed personal property
In that city at 81 ,250, ,00G, 600. This
is probaIy a rough guess, having no
basis in known facts. In 1878, before
the present depreciation OF property
set in, the real estate of New York
was assessed st $3.50, ,729, $50; per-
sonal property st S292 Al .643. The
whole assessed value of the taxable
property of the city, was then 81, lo9,.
240,s13. The real estate WAS prooa-
b'y sudervalued at that time, but
c,mplaint is now made that 1t cannot
be sold at the price it is assessed al.
Yet we find the whole real and per
soasl pr"perty of the city, as returned
by the Assessor, a few millions less
than the Mayor now estimates the
personal property at, which escapes the

TRIBUNALS AND TRUTH.-A tribunal,

that there may be thorough examin-
ton, fair hearing, impartial delibera-
ton, and a Just Judgment at last.
Not on these principles, nor accor-
ding 10 these rightful rules, has the
electoral commission acted 1t went
through the empty mOckery OF hear
ing the arguments, pro ct con, as to
the admission of testimony; decided
that all the evidence on The radical
side should be received as positive
proof, and that no testimony on the
democratic side should be allowed !;
and it then decided lhe case, on this
absolute &c pdrte showing, entirely
and unqualitiedly in favor of the radi-
Gals. To dignity fraud such as the

JUST FITs.-lt is curious bow the de
cision of the electoral commission lust
fits the radical case, remarks the n.
Y. Stn. 1t is just sufficient to 90 be
hind the Governor certificate in the
case of Oregon, and get at the facts
there, and not sufficient 10 go behind
the returning board frauds in Florida
and reach the facts in that State jus,
enough to let in the facts when they
will help The radical candidate, but
not enough TO let them IN when they
would sustain the claim of the demo>
Gratis. If the Governors certificate
were held conclusive, that would
make Cronin's vote good in Oregon.
Therefore, the commission decided TO
90 behind the Governors certificate,
and see whether it accorded with the
returns. And il not, what then !?
Whg, of course they corrected It, SO
that made the Governors certificate
of no value or import whatever. But
ii tue .tlul lis vi lllc lCbulblue ONdl u
are not correct, what can be done TO
them? They cannot be corrected.
Though The rascally returning board
decided enormously on points of law !;
though it made clerical errors; though
il acted in fraud and conspiracy, that
eannot be corrected, either by the
State, the legislature, the courts, Con
gress, OF even by the board itself. The
commission did dot even inquire
whether the undisputed returns before
the returning board were aided up
correctly. Ali this vas necessary to
meet the emergency OF the Florida
case. and provide for the Oregon case.
So Hayes was counted in-tbe first
fraudulent President. And the eight

PARTISAN JUDGEs.-That the repub.
licon electoral commissioners were par
tisaEs is proved by the fact that they
always voted together an every ques-
ton of importance and against every
POSSIBLE thing that looked favorable
TO Mr.. Tilden, while on the other
hand the democratic commissioners
did not stick to their party on at least
two vital points. For instance, IN the
Oregon case, they ali voted against
making Cronin an eleetor, and IN the
South Carolina case they all voted
against recognizing the Tilden electors.
They did this, because they honestly
believed that CruuIn was not lawful
lY chosen in Oregon, nor The demo
cratic electors legally elected in South
Carolina consequently they voted
with the republican members TO eX-
clude them. Such action is IN glar-
ing contrast with the action OF the
republican commissioners, who never
for one instant dropped their pa'ty foE
the SAKE OF justice. The whole eight
voted SOLID throughout against every
thing that seemed TO give Tllden even
the ghost of a chance. The demo-
cratic commissioners voted In all cases
TO receive evidence and examine into
frauds that have been committed, con
tent to abide by the results Of fair.
honorable and just investigation, while
the republican commissioners voted to
exclude all evidence and accept The
returns of the fraudulent and inta>
NOUS boards against whom charges OF
rascality had been made and proved.
In louisiana and Florida, both Of
which States were carried by Mr.. Til
den, the former by 1000 majority,
the republicans voted to endorse and
accept the fraud of the returning
board by which that 10000 was
thrown out and a majority fabricated
on paper tor Hayes and Wheeler
Had the republican commissioners
voted to receive evidence, we should
not have complained, but it was then

CATION that stamped them Is partisan;
and not as Judges. The democratic
commissioners did all they could tc
secure the true result in every disput'
ed State and the republican commls

a DELUsIoN AND A SNARE-In the
conclusion of his great argument be
fore the electoral commission, ex-Sen-
ator Trumbull referred TO the action
OF Congress in 1872, in voting not 20
count the electoral vote of Louisiana.
Congress then went behind the Gov
ernor's certificate, and It's committee
reported that the vote had never been
canvassed by any authorized body.
and the vote of the State was pjpct-
ed. Trumbull read Gov. Warmoth'S 5
certificate in that case, and said that
This one thing was certainly settled by
Congress there, AMI That was The
Governor certificate the same As
that known as "No. II in the case J
might be ovecruled by the concurrent
acii9n of the two Houses The re
port of the committee was that The
vote had not been properly canvassed.
Now, We propose 10 show that the
vote of Louisiana has never been cam
vassed, that the pretended canvass Is a
fraud, that the papers are forged, that
the returns are altered and falSfied,
and would like TO know whether a
count under such circumstances is any
better than a count made by persons
who had not any right TO count. If
the action of Congress is good for any
thing in that case it must be binding
on the commission. That was the
meaning when this commission was
created- II will be a delusioD, and is
a snare in the estimation of the whole
people, if the question is to be decided
on a technical ground that the com
mission has nothing TO do but to add
up the returrs. 1t will not only over
turn the decision by Congress four
years ago, but will overturn every
principle OF parliamentary law from The
beginning of time, so far as we have
any record of it." Ard the eigh. re-
publican mem bers of the commission
are perjured scoundrels and ought TO
be hung to the nearest lamp post.

sixteen horses, and twenty-five swine
The extent ofland is 500 acres. Last yea.
200 tons ofhay were cut, costing the pro
prietOr not much more than double The
market price. More than 1000 bushell
OF corn were raised ut an estimate loss Of
80 cents u pound, and, therefore, ought
to be oil good quality. His pork is es:i
mated at 20 cents pound, and chickens
at So n pair.
Beecher last year raised about $1,000
bushels Of onions on his peekskill farm.
They cost him $3.50 a bushel, according
10 estimate, and Us the market in this
city was 81, any one can see how mnch he
made. Beecher can send beef to the New
York marketat 80 cents a.pound, and can
raise oats at rs low mark as SO bushel
His butter is reckoned at $l.25 a pound
and his eggs at IS cents q dozen. He
cleared $4,000 by lecturing last winter
and II he maintains such an income he
will be ableto continue farming.

fec being $500, He has a farm in wor-
