Is il Periuryl

A correspondent of the Indianapo-
lis Journal has struck lead, in the
following, which will bear investiga-
ton by those whose duty it is to see
that taxes are assessed equally upon
all:
To-day l heard a well-known man
say, in conversing about the safety of
banks as places OF deposit, that he
had in-Bank 81 200 of silver plate
and some $4,000 in diamonds and
other jewelry. The man is known as
one OF considerable ready means
whenever an opportunity offers ia
voring large margins. Having bust
ness at the assessors office be-
thought me to look at his assessment
return. This showed no diamonds or
jewelry, no silver-plate, no money on
hand, and possessed OF assets, all
kinds included, less than s70O-all
of which is duly sworn to.
This is no isolated case. Many
persons make up their tax returns
and are sworn to them without q
thought of the perjury they are com
hitting. Teachers of morals report
$50 personal. when they ought to re-
port 81, 900. Holders of bills receiv-
able and mortgages wholly forget
them when making up returns for
taxation.
Will a man be false to his country
and true to his neighbors? Will he
deliberately write out and swear to a
false return of his assets when being
made out for taxation, and swear
truly In all other matters where his
interests are involved? 1t can't be.
The man who will in one case swear
falsely to save a few dollars, will do
so many other matter where his per-
sonal interests are affected, IL he has
no greater fear OF exposure than in
making false assessment return. A
fair and just return from every man
is demanded by every honest citizen
No man should be allowed to escape
his just proportion OF taxation.
A just return of personal property
would add millions to our tax dupli-
cate, and would lessen the rate Of
taxation twenty to twenty-five per
cent.

In the neigh borhood OF most OF our
towns there are large Quantities of
land Of which no use whatever Is
being made, that might be bought or
leased for cultivation by mechanics
and others anxious to test what can
be done with small piece Of land
thoroughly cared for. 1t is a great
want Of municipal economy to allow
such lands to 90 to waste in the way
they are doing. and some provision
ought 10 be made for transforming
these unproductive and unsightly
wastes into cultivated gardens that
shall bring pleasure and profit to
their proprietors, and q source Of
gain to the public resources.

Says the New York Times, speaking
Of the Ohio election:
Mech Of the larger part Of the diff
ference among the republicans must
be attributed to the Presidents
Southern policy. OF all the influences
which have contributed to the de-
feat this Is the most potent. The
veterans of the Western Reserve feel
that. the cause they have cherished
has been betrayed. OF what avail is
the assurance that the Presidents
policy EFFORTS praise from the de-
mocracy? The fact remains that the
Southern people do not allow the
conciliatory acts Of the administra-
ton to wean them from their alliance
with the democrat party, and that
the democrats, while holding the
President as a practical expounder
Of their views, continue to vote for
their own candidate.

A slip Of the tongue is no fault of
the mind. Even a minister is likely
to make one. For instance, Nc
Caughey, the revivalist, once under
took to rivet the attention OF his
audience by portraying a procession
OF seven deadly sins, personified and
walking twoby two. He succeeded.
The Rev. Stuart Robinson, of Louis
vile, also, when giving q vivid por-
trait Of the Garden of Eden and the
fall, said with great force: "And they
recognized the fact Of their naked
ness, and went and made themselves
aprons Of fig leaves-miserable shift"
A distinctly audible smile went
around the congregation.

The Immortality Of dogs is not gen.

The Dismal SMamp. Va.

The Dismal Swamp is said to be
an entire misnomer. There is moth
ing dismal about it except its gener-
al solitude. 1t is described by recent
visitors as a capital resort for sports
men, game being abundant, and fish
ready to rise to the fly. The most
curious features of the swamp are the
sweetness and wholesome character
Of the water, and the entire freedom
OF its few inhabitants from malarial
diseases. This purity is ascribed to
the influence of the juniper tree,
which certainly colors if it does not
improve the water, and possibly con-
tributes an antiseptic property to the
air.
Horrors Of Turkish Execution.
(Adrianopole Correspondence London Times.l
As we walked about the town yes
terday morning we could not avoid
coming upon five street executions
and witnessing the whole disgusting
proceedings, not that they were to
me any novelty. for during the two
or three days was in Arianopole it
seemed that / never could get out OF
the sight of men dangling in the air.
AS soon as a likely looking shop is
reached--say one with sun blinds
supported by brackets-the officer
cries "Haltl" and soldier carrying
a stool and rope, steps on one side
and arranges the latter over the
bracket. The man steps on to the
stool, the moose is placed around the
neck, and he is drawn on his feet.
There is no drop, but in every case,
I am told, the poor wretch dies just
as those We saw did-that is to say,
instantaneously. and apparently with
little pain, being. in fact. choked

the morbid craving for details in
such matters, but to call the attention
OF some scientific men to the subject;

tangled hanging apparatus are not so
merciful as the older method OF
hanging then our capital criminals
are punished in excess Of what the
law demands. To be hanged by the

thing from having the neck partially
broken, and the circulation OF the

Future Of the south.

The South under Governor Hayes will
blossom like the rose, provided The planter
who went into the rebellion under the mis-
taken presumption that the "cOwardly
North" would not dare TO fight, and that
one Southerner was q match for score of
Northern men-pEovide6, we say, that this
element will throw aside his prejudice
against labor, and work, respect the man
dates of the law, and grant freely to all
men life. liberty and the uninterrupted pur-
suit Of legitimate happiness.
Business enterprises are springing up all
over the Southern States. Northern CAPT
tai will rapidly flow into their Dor
ders. Manufacturing establishments, mills,
railroads, and every enterprise that will
build up and and develop the resources Of
the country will follow, and the South will
witness q season Of prosperity which she
has never before enjoyed.
But the great secret of this prosperity
must lie in the submission to law and the
preservation Of human rights and human
liberties. Governor Hayes has already an
nOuneed il Is his great desire to $50 the
South prosperous and happy people, with
sectional strife unknown, and law end good
will reigning within its borders. To accom-
plish this end viii be one of the great OBJ

viii be spared to bring the South out of the

Harbsr Work At Galveston.

Msjor Howell, who is on one Of his 60
custOmed visits to the Galveston hArbor
works, yesterday, in company with Lieu
tenant Davis, visited the breakwater,
where an experiment iE being made for the
purpose of shutting of the flow of water
through the Fort Point end of the pile
breakWater. A Nes5s reporter was one of
the party, and from observations taken and
explanations given il was learned that by
placing mats Of large size and good thick
ness against the pile breakWateF, sinking
them to the bottom and securing them
there, it 10 hoped to create change in the
action Of the tide which now, in its free
passage through the disarranged piling,
has a tendency TO carry sand from the Gulf
to the channel. This work lie beng done
along the extreme last section Of the break
Water-from the end to shallow waters
few hundred feet west. It is regarded as 3
very important move, and is being carried
out with the small amount Of the harbor
appropriation lett.
Major Howell, in conversation with the
reporter, stated that the engineer depart
ment had about reached the limit Of their
exertions for aAy good in securing an add
ti0nai sum for Galveston harbOF works. In
answer 10 q question as to the prospect for
more money, he said il was now time for the
people OF this city to act IS business men in
q matter seriously affecting their business
and he was inclined TO believe, from knOWl
edge he had, that appropriations had been
granted by the President TO other important
works; thas this city, by properly calling
the attention Of their CengFeasmen TO the
obviously great necessity for more money
st this time to keep the work going, could
also be successful. He was very nmphatiC
IN his opinson that there was an urgent no
oeasity for means TO keep tbs haFbOr i'm

The sInrsr,. God.

One thing lie certain, that there is q God,
and that be is q Beng among whose attFi-
butes are truth, and purity, and goodness,
and sympathy for suffering. The belief in
this is according to our highest instincts
and impulses. A God who does not care
for any body except those who are good is
no God. Men are full of all manner of
darkness, full of obseurities Of every kind,
full of mistakes; they are lacking in many
respects; they are carrying in them heredi-
tary traits Of bad So we'll Is good; they are
biased all the time by the influences Of hui
man life; they are subject to thousand
unsolicited forces which they can neither
diasipste nor resist; they are creatures Of
ignorance and degradation and want; and
there must be q God somewhere who 10
oognizant Of their condition, and looks af-
ter them. We have crying needs; we are
like children whose fathers and mothers
are dead, and who are in suffering, and are
solitary in their orphAnage; what we want
ID God who knows that we suffer, and
when We Gin kn0We why we Sin and how
We Elm. We need God who has mother
heart, and who takes care Of unwoFthineas,
of unFipeness, Of undevelOped excellence,
and brings them up toward peri. elton, and
such & God ia revealed BY the Lord Jesus
