Taxes for 1877.

The fall off from last year on the
total amount of taxable property
amounts to S528,030. OF this loss
about 100000 is on personal prop
erty; the balance is to be accounted
for by the decreased rate of value of
real estate. An impartial and just
assessment cannot be effected, but it
it does seem to us that an assessment
approximating impartiality could
be arrived at, giving to each and
every district even-handed justice.
This subject of an equalization of
value in real estate deserves more
attention than has heretofore been
given it, and we are sorry to add
unless the evil is remedied it will
become bone of contention between
the different districts of the county.
In the present assessment whilst a
number of districts retain their for
mer standard of valuation many
others have been greatly reduced.
This is unjust to the citizen of the
full valued district, and discrimi-
nation in favor of low valued sec
lions. The tax books should be a
proper and correct index Of the most
valuable lands, and not an exponent
of the low or high rate whim of the
assessor in the several districts. The
books will go into the hands of the
Trustee the LIST of October. Back
taxes for 1876 must be paid prior to
October 18th, or they will be turned
over to the Sheriff. We again urge
a payment of the 1876 tax.

Base Bali.

On Thursday the Chronicle club
played a return match with the
Guthrie club. AT the first part of
the match our boys suffered from
the loss of Clark as catcher, who has
had his thumb very badly cut with
a circular saw; DESTROYS of having
his services in spite of his accident
the captain placed him as pitcher,
putting Lemons, the usual pitcher,
on second base. Things worried on
pretty well under this arrangement
at first, each party making two runs
in the first inning; on the second
inning Chronicles made seven to
Guthries one, and, at the third in
ming, each club made one run, leav-
ing the score, Chronicles ten, Guth-
RE four; but by this time it was
seen that Clark, on account of his
injury, could not catch the balls
thrown to him from the field, and
moreover, the Guthrie boys had be-
come accustomed to his pitching,
so that in the fourth inning Guthrie
made eight runs and Chronicle only
seven. This still left Chronicles five
ahead, but the heavy score of the
Guthrians was serious enough to in
duce Capt. Jackson to make an en-
tire new disposition of his forces.
He sent Clark to the field, restored
Lemons to the pitchers stand and
he himself resumed his old place as
short stop, in which no one has ever
beaten him. From this time all
went merrily for the Chronicle boys,
the Guthrians making only three
more runs in the remaining five in
nings, while the closing score stood
as follows:
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1877-08-11

Clark's batting record was splen-
did one in spite of his injury, MAX
ing five runs and only two outs.
Lyons, Lemons and Shelton also
made good records with their bats,
none of them making less than four
runs. The Chronicle club must
never play another match without
their regular catcher and pitcher,
viz, Clark and Lemons.
On the same day the GAINESVILLE
Wright club went out to Pea Ridge
to play a match with country club
out there. The score was rather a
joke, being on two innings:

MURDER IN IBERYILLE.-OnF Friday
of last week, the 2nd instant, fatal
affray occurred at Trees store, par
ish of Iberville, on the left bank of
the river, about ten miles below
Plaquemine. A dispute arose between
Mr.. TREE and a young man named
Alex. Babin, concerning the settle
ment of some partnership affairs, the
two having a short time before been
associated in the ownership and con-
duct of the store. This partnership
had been dissolved by Mr.. TREE and
the store placed in the hands of Mr..
Willie Davis, who recently married
Trees neice, and this probably gave
rise to the i'll feeling existing among
the parties. Be this as it may, ac-
cording to the account Of the affair
which we have received, Davis inter
fered during the dispute and attacked
Babin, dragging him from his horse
and severely beating him. Babin,
who was the weaker of the two, sue
ceeded in drawing a revolver and fir
ing at Davis, the ball passing through
the heart of the latter, causing i'm
ma3iota death The victim Of this
sad occurrence was about % years of
age, brother of Mr.. Thos. H. Davis,
who keeps store at the head of New
River Lane in this parish. Mr.. Babin
proceeded to Plaquemine and surreu-
dered himself to the authorities, and
it is reported that he was released
upon bond for future appearance.

A mean looking colored man giving
his name as Bill Nelson, and his
!"nickname " as Henry Emerson, was
arrested by Constable Sullivan for
dangerously cutting his pseudo wife,
Malvina jefferson, with an axe. The
couple had quarrel Thursday morn
ing at the residence of Robert Noel,
in this town, caused, according to
Nelson's statement, by the refusal of
the woman to accompany him TO ii
plantation in st. James where he had
engaged to work, and during the alter
cation Nelson seized an axe lying
close at hand and struck the woman
two murderous blows, one making an
ugly wound in her shoulder, the other
cutting through her cheek to the jaw
bone, knocking out several teeth. A
shocking murder would undoubtedly
have been committed but for the pres
enee of sturdy Bob Noel, who rushed
at Nelson and took away the axe.
Constable Sullivan took the culprit
before Judge Maher, and made an
affidavit setting forth the facts, upon
which the Judge remanded Nelson to
prison to await examination. The
condition of the wounded woman is
quite precarious, but she will prob
ably recover.

PERsoNAL.-Ouf genial and gener-
Gus friend Mr.. John Reuss of the Ger
mania plantation, has again placed us
under obligations for reasonable
present-a half 5ushel of as fine pc
cans as we have seen in the parish
this year. On dit that Mr.. Reuss con-
templates an early trip to his native
Europe. If this be true, We wish him
safe voyage, happy sojourn among
the scenes and friends of his childhood
and a pleasant return to his adopted
home in this sunny land of the free.
Two or three Others of our German
citizens are talking of accompanying
Mr.. Reuss, and if they make up their
minds to do SO, the party will be IL
jolly one.
We were pleased to take by the
hand MIR. Alex. S. Landry, who
emerged from his shell and paid Don
Jacksonville IL visit one day this week.
Mr.. Ben Gibson, from the left bank
of the river, was also in town the
other day and called at our Office upon
business which is always agreeable to
the newspaper man.
Senator Landry arrived here by to-
days train and will remain several
days. The Senator has had the mis-
fortune to lose his mother, who died
this week after a long spell of sick
ness and suffering. She was IS years
of age, and died at the Senator's resi-
dence on Bayou Lafourche. about two
miles below town.

A report reached here last Monday
that the trapeze performer who re-
Gently gave an exhibition in Donald
sonville had fallen from his trapeze at
Thibodaux the previous day and been
instantly killed, fracturing his skull
and bruising several people in the
crowd attracted by his performance.
Next day, however, the report was
modified, representing that the trap
exist had only broken an arm and sus-
tanned some severe bruises and this
was still further modified by the later
formation that the arm was merely
sprained. This was presumably cor
rect version of the mishap, as we have
heard no contradiction up to the time
of writing this item. Several by
ISLANDERS are reported to have been
bruised by the falling performer, but
we have been unable to learn the ex-
tent of their injuries. Probably they
invoIuntarily saved the life of the
actor by breaking the force of his fall.

FoRTY-AcRE TRAcrs.-Among the
bills introduced in the Senate at
Washington on the 25th inst, was
one to enable bona tide settlers on
public lands of the United States to
locate upon and purchase q tract OF
timber land, not exceeding 40 acres
to each settler. This is for the ben
eft Of settlers on agricultural lands
in Oregon and Washington Territory
especially, many of whom have land,
but not enough timber thereon for
fencing and other necessary purpo-
ses. The timber lands in the noun.
famous districts have been visited in
a number Of instances for the purpose
OF securing fuel and timber, and q
number OF arrests have been made
for trespass, by Government officials,
Should this bill become a law, any
settler can purchase 40 acres Of
such timber land on payment of 81

stead OF 60 as under Democratic rude

and they have resolved to continue
in session forty days even if the Ter
ritory has to pay for it. The senti-
