The Grant Movement.

The fact that a movement is on foot TO
give Gene raj Grant series of brilliant re.
ceptions in eastern cities, on his return from
Europe, is just made public, though it was
intended to keep it from the public for a
while longer, until arrangements were more
thoroughly perfected. He will arrive by the
American line at Philsdelphia> and, il the
present programme iscarried out, after an in
formal welcome there, will come direct to
Boston, to attend the first of the sezies OF re-
ceptions. Every effort is making to keep
the political element in the BACKGROUND and
to give the reception an entirety non-polIti.
cal appearance. To this end Efforts are max.
ing TO interest leading and foremost citizens,
without regard 10 party, in each city in the
movement.
In Boston it is said that the committee of
arrangements will include the best citizens
some of them strong anti Grant men, SO
far as the presidency is concerned. Among
other features will be grand ball. 1t is in
tended to invite the marquis of Lorne and
the Princess l. iuise TO be present, and it is
believed they will come, as the former is
said to have expressed desire TO meet the
general in his own country. Following the
Boston reception will come toe New York
and Phisdelphis receptions. Those who APP
pear 10 be informed in the matter, and who
believe that there is more of politics behind
the movement than is admitted, say that
Boston is chosen as the first place of recep
ton because here Grant has found some OF
his sharpest critics, and tue third term no
aid or comfort. 1t is argued that the effect
OF successful reception in that city-the
social event of the season, under the man
agemeDt of ths Brahmins-would be great
throughout the country, and with Others
following in New York aud Philadelphia,
set Grant on the track in good style.

in this case, aud Mr.. Hanway certifies that
FAINT is entitled to the fees. NOW. let us see
if he is. even under his extraordinary con-
tract with the county commissioners.
The Sentinel has information from a
source which il has no hesitation in saying
is entirely reliable, that the facts in the case
of the Franklin Insurance. Company are as
follows:
The company made out at the proper time
and delivered TO the assessor list of its
property subject to taxation. When its
bookkeeper went to pay the taxes last spring
he discovered that the company was not
listed with all the property it owned. He
so stated to one of Mr.. Hanway's deputies,
and requested that the tax list which he had
himself prepared might be hunted up and the
proper correction made. Mr.. Charles FAINT,
who was present, and seemed to be acting
for the treasurer, went to the auditors office
and got the list, and description of the prop

money Mr. Hanwsy was paid the legal fee,
and as il was his duty to make the assess

any other person should gobble one fourth
of the money so paid into the county treas
ury. We have no knowledge that any
other portion of the money which Mr.. FAINT
charges fees upon was voluntarily paid into
the treasury, but it is reasonable to infer that

A SENSATION in judicial and legislative cir
cles has been created in Virginia by the
action Of United States Judge, who decides
that two negroes on trial there fer murder
can not De legally convicted by an all white
jury. The decision is felt TO be an unwar-
ranted interference with the sovereignty Of
the state, and precedent which, If followed
up. will completely nullify state legislation
and the action OF state courts. The name OF
the judge who thus seeks to abrogate state
sovereignty and csntralize power in the
United States courts is Rlves, and he de
serves to be classed with such infamous
judges as Bono, DurelI and Humphrey
men who have frequently disgrsced the
judicial ermine in the interest of the radical
party, and who have therefore gained for
themselves q notoriety scarcely less infamous
that that which attaches TO the English
Judge Jeffries.

WE have already alluded TO the fact that
there was a formidable movement on foot to
create feeling among the radical party that
Grant was the only man by whom it was
possible for that party to keep itself in
power confidential communication hes
recently been telegrsphed to the Chicago
Times, which throws more light on this mat
ter. The letter is written from q national
bank in New York, and we quote the follow

LAW AND TAXATION.

The case of Cotterell VS.. the board of coun-
ty commissioners and others, IS set for trial
before Judge Elliott, of The superior court
on the 11th inst. This case is one vi great
interest to the public, and the decision of
Judge Elliott will be awaited with anxiety.
That our readers may understand the
question to be decided, we will state it as
briefly as we can:
Over a year ago The board 81 county com
missioners contracted with Charles P. Fant
t. lay him one fourth of all the taxes that
might b. paid into the county treasury on
property which had been omitted from the
tax list, and which was placed there through
his agency.
We shall not discuss the question IS to
legal right to make such contract, as it is
one to be decided by the court, but we
will take the liberty of saying that if such a
rule is 10 be allowed, It will be well for the
legislature to abolish the offices
of assessor and auditor and have the assess
ing of the revenue and the preparation OF
the tax books let out by contract. These
things can be done for less sum than one
fourth the revenue derived from taxation.
1t is the duty of the assessor to assess the
property liable to taxation, make out lists OF
the same and return them to the county
auditor; from these lists it is the duty of the
auditor to make out the tax duplicates and
deliver them to the county treasurer. 1t is
the duty OF tbs treasurer to collect the taxes
charged on these duplicates, aud 1t is his
further duty to assess any property liable to
taxation which has been omitted from the
duplicates through mistake or otherwise
For all these duties the law fixes certain
fees which are supposed TO be sufficient
equivalent for the work. Now, should the
assessor fail to assess the property liza

fail TO put upon the tax dupli

age done by such failure. Then, why the

ALEXANDER ii. STEPHENS, of Geor-
gia says that he knows it was the
intention among the principal leading
Democrats Of the late Congress to
vote Mr.. Hayes out and Mr.. Tilden
into the Presidency. He talked with
those leaders himself and fully under,
stood their purposes and plans. The
back-down of the House Democrats
on the question of the Presidents
title be therefore looks upon as an
endorsement of bis personal views
regarding the investigation.
He insisted that the Democratic
resolution for investigation, under
which tie Potter committee was ap-
pointed, should declare that no revo-
luton was intended, or that no at
tack was to be made on the Presi-
dents title. For this nearly every
paper in the South condemned him,
and the Georgia Democrats threaten =
ed to repudiate him as a candidate
for Congress. Now that the Demo-
Gratis of the House have done pre-
cisely what Mr.. Stephens asked them
TO do at first, his course has been
thoroughly yindicated and be is
quietly waiting to see the Southern
papers eat the dish of crow, which
they SO unwittiDely cooked for them
selves. The day may come-four
or FIVE thousand years hence-when
the true char acter of the clustering
braggadocio, cowardly, janus-faced
Democratic politicians will be under
stood and appreciated at its true
worth By the general public. In
this ease the crime consists in the
intent which they were too %cowardly
to carry out, in the face Of an aroused
public sentiment.
