able value Ii. Even then 1t will be impossible
to avoid injustice and to protect the just
demands Of the government.
Each case will have to stand on It's own
merits. There may be errors on the part OF
assessors and Of the Administrators, and
when these errors are evidently not OF the
character of those which were SO common and
runo,is under Radical rule. 1T is wiser to abide
by them than TO make them the occasion for
complaint against the officials. The great and
just cause Of complaint against preceding
governments of the State and city has been
that the revenues derived from taxation have
been misappled and squandered for corrupt
purposes. There are no grounds for such APP
prehensions or complaints now. 1t Is there
fore d patriotic duty as well as legal obliga-
ton for the citizens to pay honestly and
promptly to the extent Of their ability the
tax lawfully and equitably due by them for
the support Of the government and credit OF

their State, to be administered and supported

The Turkish government begins to discover
what the whole world knew at the beginning
Of the war, that they had good soldiers and a
strong navy, well manned, but very indif-
ferent and unreliable commanders and chic
officers, and now they are superseding
their old Pashas with commanders selected
from the Christian and Saxon race Hobart
Pasha, the stout John Bull, ex-blockade rum
ner and British trained naval commander, has
been at last let loose against the Russian
towns and Notifications on the Black Sea,
whilst Prussian named Schuster has dis
placed old Abdul Kerim on the Danube. This
Prussian has nearly lost his identity by
adopting the name Of Mehemet Ali. It is
big name, and Schuster will have to do some
thing grand to justify his right to bear it.

tunity, as the Russians are moving steadily

The assessment rolls for the city have
been made up, but not In such definite
and conclusive shape as TO enable us to give
the exact figures. The appraisements Of
property are not conclusive until the parties
disputing the same have been heard, and q
decision thereon by the Administrators rem
tlered. These CONVERSATIONS are numerous
and involve questions of a vexatious and en-
barrassing character. The truth is that the
standard and rules for assessing property in
this city are exceedingly difficult to deter
mine. There are SO many exceptions to the
Justice and fairness Of any rule which may
be adopted, that like the rules in the French
grammar it is almost impossible for human
intellect and memory to decide whether the
rules or the exceptions embrace the larger
number of cases to which they are applicable.
What shall determine the present value of
property in New Orleans? Is it the price
for which the property will sell in the
present condition of values and Of purchas-
ing power? Is it the insured valuation by
the owner? or is it the income from the prop
erty? To each Of these modes Of valuing
property there are objections and exceptions
To arrive at just estimate it would appear
10 be essential that the assessors and the ADJ !

There has not been as fine season for fruit
In the South since the war. The exhibition at
st. Patrick's Hall Is as creditable as any
that has been made in the country for some
years; far more SO than that at the Centen-
NAL last year. No such peaches, pears, nee
tarines figs or grapes have been shown in
any Of the exhibitions. II Is only In apples
that we must yield precedence to the North.
There is no comparison between our peaches
and the boosted products Of Northern mar
ltets In richness Of flavor, In juiciness and in
maturity. Our nectarines, too, exceed those
produced at the North. So do our cantelopes
and melons; Of this delicious and most
wholesome Of all our fruits there never
was so superintendent crop as there Is this

Lord Derby's explanation Of the policy of
the Ministry, In reference to the Russian and
Turkish war, amounts to this-that when both
belligerents are exhausted by the war, and
have fought their last battle, England may
be able to intervene with some effect. This
is strange conclusion to reach after so much
bordering and palaver, to allow two friends
to fight until one gets the other down and
conquers him, and then to interfere to prevent
the victor from cutting up his fallen adver-
sary, and devouring him piecemeal or IN toto.
This is close copy of the aeise diplomacy
by which, some years ago, England per-
mitted Austria and Prussia to invade the
dominions Of Denmark and sever her most
valuable province, the Schleswig Holstein
States and to annex them to Germany, there
by aiding to build up the great German En-
pire which now lords it over all Western
Europe.
