Mr.. Porter is still collecting data concern
ing the Indebtedness, expenditures and re-
sources Of American cities. He has already
received all the information he needs from 1870
cities The showing is not at all agreeable.
The increase in the municipal debts OF these
100 cities In the ten years succeeding the war
is no less than 1923, O66, 663, notwithstanding
the fact that over $1.O00,o00,oO0 Of revenue
had been raised by taxation within this period
and spent. The taxation of these cities in
1866 was $64,O6o,O98, while in 1876 it was S112-
I'll ,275 an increase of 80 per cent, while the
increase in population was only "a per cent.

he should have accumulated so much money,
by corrupt practices necessarily, he dismissed
him from Office. This is very pretty story
for the Gar to tell, in order that his conces-
sion to the people might not appear 80 fla
grant; but he should have known that there
is always way for informers TO make money,
and it is, what contemporary would call,
"pessimists" view Of human nature to sup
pose that any man with the instincts of do
nestle animal would engage In the loath-
some business of an informer out of pure
gratuity. The Russian informer made his
money by threatening people with Siberia,
while our own "Ph0nician" makes his by
playing spy for the Louisiana Lottery Com

The people Of rural Illinois are evidently
savages as far as art is concerned. A curious
squabble has Just broken out at Rockford, in
Northern Illinois. apropos of the new court
house The Rockford courthouse, 1t will be
remembered, was blown down last year
by storm, killing in its fall number
of persons. In place Of this destroyed
building a new edfice has just been
erected by an Illinois architect, which is a
gem in its way. Its designer has evidently
studied European models, and the result is a
building that Paris itself might be proud Of
There is one objection to it, at least the rustic
Rockfordians find it an objection. In the orna-
mentation of this building are number of
young and festive cupids cut in stone which
the author, after the European style of art,
has left entirely unprovided with pantaloons.
This was entirely too much for the average
Rockfordan, who is singularly American
in his ideas and bitterly opposed to nude
statuary The result has been great deal of
uncomplimentary criticism of these unpan-
talooned cupids and considerable public in
dignation against their author. 1t is said
that the school boys of the town are far too
Interested in these statues and that they are
producing bad results among the younger
citizens of Rockford Moreover, modest mem
bers Of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton and ladies who are called as witnesses to
the courthouse are compelled to avert their
eyes when entering the building to avoid
these undraped images: it is also claimed that
venerable horse traders and farmers are fond
of getting off witticisms and jokes at the
expense of these judicial cupids and pro-
ducing in consequence merriment in the
courthouse wholly unsuited to the solemnity
that ought to prevail in such building.
In fine, bitter complaints are made against
these figures by all classes of society in Rock
ford as subversive of morals and destructive
of the grand old puritanic simplicity of that
Yankee town. The religious element of the

It is a mistaken apprehension that Charles

Francis Adams is to drop into obscurity be-
cause Sam Bowles Is dead. There may be
none to nominate him for President
every four years, and for anything that
comes along between times but when the
average Yankee editor wants "a opinion
as is opinion" he as surely goes to
the oracular Charles Francis, as Capt.
Cutie did to Capt. Bunsby. Charles
Francis latest opinion is of Lord John Rus
sell. The World sent a reporter all the way
to Boston to get it, and seems to think 1T a
bigger item than Lord Johns death itself.

The cause of the removal of Trepof the
Infamous chief of the Russian informers and

after he was shot by Vera Sassulitch, the
brave patriot girl, he made his will, leaving
5000 900 rubles to his family. The Gar knew
then. for the first time that Trepof had been

crease Of from 10 to 40 per cent The crops
are everywhere in excellent condition. In
Fort Bend and other southeastern counties of
the State, where sugar cane is cultivated,
there seems to be an earnest and energetic
movement in favor of raising cane instead Of
cotton. The consequence is that the acreage
In cane in these counties Is over 100 per cent
greater than In 1877.

A Growing Abuse.

Elections are growing very ex.
pensive in GAINESVILLE, and they
cannot do that without growing
also very corrupt. Indeed, it is not
easy, if possible, for candidate foE
any Office to steer clear of these
practices and get elected. They do
not have to approach the electors,
but the electors approach them and
tell them plainly that A, B and G
are spending their money like gen.
tlemen, aud d, E and F and cannot
hope to be elected if they are stingy
about it. 1t is not the worst evil of
all this that men have to spend a
years income of their Office in order
to get elected, but it surrounds the
polls with worthless, venal crowd
who make an election their harvest.
We do not hesitate to say that the
whole constituency of GAINESVILLE
has been seriously demoralized by
this practice, and it is getting worse
with every election. The whole
community is interested liz finding
a remedy.

Eyes and Ears.

We had the pleasure last Thurs
day of meeting the wife of an old
army comrade, DR.. A. HI. VOORHEES,,
who is staying at Mrs. McDaniel's.
The Doctor will join Mrs. V. in
about a week, when he proposes to
practice his speciality as OcuHst and
aurist in this city. At the COM
mencement of the war DIR. VoOrhies
was assistant surgeon in the regi-
ment of which we were surgeon.
After that he rapidly rose in the
army and was medical director of
Stewards corps at the close of the
war. On the establishment of peace
he went to Europe and there studied
with special attention the diseases
of the eye and ear, and has made
the treatment of those organs his
speciality ever since. We have no
scruples in recommending him to
all who may need such services as a
gentleman of high character who
has had exceptional opportunities of
studying his art.

The tax levy for 1878 is: State l
mill; county 2 mills; school % mills;
railroad mills; total 81 mills. Polls
81 per capita, an increase of one half
mill over 1878.
There is a loss of $163, $40, but the
gain in polls and the additional one
half mill for school purposes give a
total tax of 81 1856 more than last
year. The most of the fall off is not
in a shrinkage of value in real es-
tate, but loss in personally. 1869
polls is a good showing.
In the above l have included I'M
der the head of value of real estate
both the value of acres of lands and
that of the town lots, which gives to
districts Nos. and u an excessive
value of real estate per acre. The
city of GAINESVILLE proper, 1. G. with
in the corporate limits, contains 791
lets with an aggregate value of ST.
$50, 40, and New Providence to-
gether with the country villages of;
State Line No. 1, Jordan Springs
No. 4, Port Royal No. 3, st. Bethla
hem No. 6, lakewood No. 8, Palmy-
IA and COrbandale No. 10, will in
crease this value and give a total of
about 81 800, 600, the value of town
lots in the county. This gives re-
manning value of 81, $50, $40, which
shows an average value per acre of
a little less than Sc. Districts Nos.
l, =, 3, 4, all bordering on the State
line, are portions of the great tObac-
co belt of which is known as the
! GAINESVILLE Tobacco District, which
includes a small portion of Robert
son, northern portion of this county
and the end of Stewart, the southern
parts of Todd, Logan, Christian and
Trigg counties of Kentucky. This
is the most valuable body of land
for general crops in this or any
State. No. . is somewhat rough,
but portions of it on Passengers
Creek and Red River are superb
farming lands. No. 6 belongs to the
tobacco belt. would not be inVid-
iOus, but l candidly assert that the
lands of DIR. Dawson, Messrs Dun
lap, Mimms and others adjoining
are superior to any farming lands
in the much pulled praries of the
west. No. is broken, but east and
north hill sides are very productive
when first cleared up. Nos. 8 and

Biography and fertility. Nos. 10,
