THE INVESTIGATION.

The Potter Investigation Com
mittee is now regularly organized,
and we may look at once for re-
suits. The Democracy seem very
fully agreed as to the necessity for
a full and final inquest, but we see
no good reason as yet 10 conclude
there will be any disturbance OF
the Presidential title. The Re
publicans EN- MAssE seem willing to
keep the Presidency even though
it should be fully proven they stole
it, and the Northern Democracy,
having gotten rich under the reign
of the enemy, seem indisposed that
any disturbance should attend the
establishment of their political
rights. The Pennsylvania demo-
Gratis speak out clearly against
seating Mr.. TIlden, though he
should be found to have been clear
ly elected. Elsewhere will be
found their platform adopted last
Thursday, in which they urge the
investigation but abandon any claim
to the Presidency. We do not ex-
actly understand the Republican
opposition to the investigation, nor
the Democratic promise not to
profit by it. In the frat case they
are charged with the larceny Of
the Chief Msgi>tracy and are op~
posed to al investigation which
ought to clear them of the charge,
il they are innocent as they allege.
In the second place. the Democra>
cy propose to prove they have sto-
len it and TO permit them to keep
it when proven they have no right
to it. We regard the investiga-
ton necessary in order to remove
the national scandal, and we are
too obtuse to see how the scandal
can be removed by legalizing the
theft if it be proven. Let the
probe go down and let the rotten
ness come up. Then let sound,
healthy flesh form. If Mr.. Hayes
non-election be proven, he should
promptly resign.

The AMERICAN ALMANAC, recently
published, and prepared with great
care by Mr.. A r. SPOFFORD. Libra
ran of Congress, gives statistics on
these points, to the close of lust year,
in the 80 States of the Union, de
rived in most cases f ON the officers of
the States themselves" There are
suudry very striking facts in this ex-
hibit First and foremost. the debt of
Virginia Is larger than that of any
other State. Massachusetts, comes
nearest to it-but there the debt is
subject to deduction By asinking fund
Of One-third its amount. The rate of
taxation in Massachusetts Is only ten
HO) cents on the 500. The debt of
Tennessee is next in magnitude, and
the rate of taxation the same, 1. e. on
Iy 10 cents on the hundred dollars. -
And yet, the creditors of Tennessee,
in December last, offered to comprO-
mise at SOC on the doll llir-and failed.
As to the rate taxation, so far from
Virginia being less than six out of
every seven States. the reverse is near
ly the fact. The rate of taxation is
only greater in the States which have
been Carpet ridden: Alabama.
ATkAlSaE, Il lOTIuat 1tSSisSipibi anu
South Carolina, and few far Western
States In Massachusetts, and Ten
nessee, as already stated, it is only 10

Jersey. ?5 1; Vermont, 30; West Vir-
ginia, 30; North Carolina, 3S-and last
and most conspicuous, Pennsylvania,
80 only on personal property and no
tax at all on real estate, With the ex-
ceptiOns first mentioned, none exceed
fifty cents-and here are a States
which fall far below that figure-two
of them to 10 cents. and suudry others
below 20 And what is still more i'm
poTtant, in most of the States, the
property assessed has real value, and
assessed below that value-whereas
in Virginia, the assessment is double
what the property would bring in
money, and. in large proportion, the
value is purely nominal.
