RE-AssEssMENT OF LANDs.-It is the
opinion ofmany of our best citizens, and
most thoughtful ones, that the lands 10
this State ought TO be re-assessed. Since
an assessment of the lands was made,
there has been an immense falling off
in the price of all kinds ofproperty. As
an instance of this, the Clarksburg
News says that recently valuable piece
of land that was bought ouly few
years since for forty dollars per acre,
sold ir front OF the conrL house of Har-
rison county for about twelve dollars
per acre, andIhere are numerous lnstan-
ces of the same kind in that and other
counties.
For these and other reasons, num-
Der of persons are in favor of re-assess-
ing the lands. We don't know that tax
es would be decreased thereby, but
there is no doubt of the fact that a re-
assessment would distribute taxation
more equally.-MorganioWn Post.

owns the land on both sides of the river,
and that O'Donnell is running an illegal
, ferry. Mason applied to the County
Court for permission to establish legal
ferry, which was granted him. An ap-
peal was taken by O'Donnell'S counsel
and carried to a higher court-Judge
Jackson. Judge Jackson granted an
Injunction restraining Mason from es-
tablishing his ferry, but subsequently
withdrew said Injunction. The case
was recently argued before the Judge
in Clarksburg, but no decision has yet
been given. Both parties seem conf

uary, 1879. This will be the most i'm
portant session of the Legislature since
the formation of the State. What to
do with the County Courts; what
changes, if any, iu the system of Circuit
Courts; what action, if any, shall West
Virginia take on the question OF assum-
ing any portion of the Virginia debt;
what legislation do the public interests
demand in regard to railroad freight,
and passenger Determinations; what in
regard to the taxation of railroad prop
erly? These questions, and hundred
others of magnitude, must be carefully
considered and judiciously acted upon
by the Legislature this winter The
School Laws, the Road Laws, and al
most our entire Code of Laws, will need
to be wisely aud judiciously revised and
amended.
The leading subjects for Legislative
consideration will be iutelligently, can
didly, and thoughtf1lly discussed
through the columns OF the
WHEELING REGISTER.
Several of the leading public men of
West Virginia have signihed their in
teu,ion of discussing, through the col
urnns of the REGISTER, some of the
above questions, and all men of intelll-
gence,o of whatever party or way OF think
ing, are cordially invited to join in the
discussion.
THE REGISTER
will also keep its readers carefully posted
upon all other matters of State and Lo-
cal interest, as well as what is transpr-
ing throughout THE WIDE WORLD.
The proprietors of the REGISTER use
the telegraph freely in gathering domes-
tic news from every quarter OF our own
country, and it receives its news from
Europe and other sections of the world,

The REPUBLICAN, TICKET.


Yesterday afternoon, as viii be seen
elsewhere in this issue, the Laramie
county republican convention met and
placed in nomination a ticket subject
to the votes Of the people at the APP
preaching election. We are convinced
that a stronger and more acceptable
ticket could not well have been placed
in the field. 1t is a fair representative
OF the several branches of industry to
be found IN our midst, and is composed
of citizens who are intelligent and en-
terprising and whose record in the past
ought to, and will most assuredly COM
mend them to the confidence Of the
people to an extent which will result in
their triumph at the polls.
The nominations made yesterday, SO
far as we AN learn, please all the re-
publicans, and many democrats as well.
AT an early day we shall take occasion
to allude to the ticket more at length.

Especial Correspondence Of The Leader.l
OGDEN, Oct. 8, 1873.
The Utah Northern railroad is o
completed to a point three miles below
Black Rock, in Port Neuf canon, or %
miles Of the present terminus, Oneida.
1t is expected that a station will be
made at the new terminus In a few
days. The grading is nearly completed
through to Snake river, a distance of
about forty miles further, and the road
could be completed to that point in 30
days easily, but there is a lack Of iron.
The United States rolling mills are
crowded with work, and 1t may be sew
eral weeks before track laying on this
line is resumed.
The ~Shoshones at Ross Fork reserva-
tion raised eight thousand bushels of
wheat this season, besides a good guam
tity of potatoes, squashes, etc.
The companies of the Fifth cavalry
stationed at Ross Fork agency, are out
scouting the country for $50 miles
north of that place, divided up into
small parties. Capt. Hamilton, Capt.
Kellogg, Lieut.. London, Lieut.. Kim
ball, Lieut.. Calhoun and Capt. Balm
bridge, are all out with small com
mands watching for hostile Bannocks.
Lieut.. Calhoun brought in upwards Of
thirty a few days since.
The agencies for the Bannocks and
Shoshones now at Lemhi, Ross Fork
and Camp Brown, should be CONSOLE
dated into one, either at Ross Fork or
Camp Brown, a proposed by Gen.
Crook, and a sufficient force stationed
near them to keep things straight;
Divided As they now are it is far more
expensive to the government, and more
dangerous to the frontier.
There is a big rush for land neal
the terminus of the Utah Northern
on Snake river, where it is supposed
there will be a good town. 1t is from
this point that Jay Gould proposes tc
build a branch line northwest towards
Boise and Walla Walla. To make the
excitement still greater, the whole
valley of Snake river has been found
by recent prospecting to be rich in
place. sold, and the ground from the
mouth of Blackfont tn Tayinr,s bridge,
say 50 miles, is now jumped by miners
and p~rospectors. The Salmon river
mines, too, are yielding extremely
rich ore, and there is a steady stream
of people going in that direction. The
ore from that region assays about five
thousand dollars per ton. At present
it has to be packed out on mules a long
way, and then hauled to the terminus
of the Utah Northern. But it is SC
rich that even this expensive process
pays well.
Capt. Carpenters company, Four.
teenth infantry, now at Fort Hartsuff,
Neb., is to be relieved by Capt. Morris
sons company of the Ninth infantry,
and will take station at Camp Douglas.
1t is expected that six companies will
winter at that station.
