TAXATION IN NEW YORK.

We are indebted to the politencss of Hon
JAMES A. BRIGGS, one of the assessors of
the State of New York, for a copy Of the
annual report of that board for 1879. 1t is
filed with very novel and interesting sta
tistics, which can be found nowhere else
conveniently. Among other especially in-
teresting and gratifying statements to tax
payers is that the State taxes have been so
reduced that they cease to be burden.
They have decreased from 1873 to 1S7S
from S434 per capita to $16S.
The product and consumption of the egg is
presented in very interesting way. For in
stance, the value of eggs consumed in the
st. Nicholas Hotel, in the city of New York
in one year was over $4,000. The egg
traffic in this country is rated at Sl50,000,,
600 per annum. The city of New York
alone receives eggs to the value Of S9,000'
900. Philadelphia is credited with con
suming 10000 dozen eggs daily. The egg
trade of Boston for 1873 is placed at 5,515.
652 dozen. One Boston firm handled some
100000 dozen eggs last year. Ia speaking
of agriculture in the State of New York, the
questions whether it pays to cultivate land in
that State and whether farming is "played
out" are considered, attended with the
statement that if the farmers make correct
return to the census enumeratOrs it does
pay. 1t is contended that farming every,
where is more in the man than in the
land.n A man who talks politics half of the
time at the village tavern and goes hunting
and fishing, to horse racing and TO see tn,
circus and menagerie and dog fight the
other half viii soon ruin the best farm il
the State; while the industrious, pains,
taking, careful farmer will make agood living
on tolerably good land and have something
over after paying his taxes and "help"

less forces in which were incarnated his for
mer masters and oppressors. And further out
of Democratic greed of power at the North,
have come riots and bloodshed at the polls
in the interest of fraud and wrong, and 20
guard against or suppress such outbreaks
against the public peace and to protect the
right at the polls, the authority of law has
been conferred upon the Executive to use
the army. To abrogOte this authority is the
high purpose of the Democratic party, not
because there is any danger to the public
interest involved in that authority, but for
the reason that il stands between that party
and its purposes of wrong under which it
seeks to acquire absolute power in the Gov
ernment The Democrats are now engaged
in the preliminary skirmish of 1880, and it
is gratifying to see that the Republicans are
preparing with much vigor to thwart their
purposes with wisely-deGned issues, judi
ciously planned battlefield, and wealth
of effective ammunition.
MIR. GARFIELD opened on Saturday with
strong and effective battery, whose fire
carried dismay into the Democratic camp.
The fire Of the Democracy was exceedingly
weak and ineffective, and when the forces
ceased firing, under an adjournment, they
showed evident signs of decentralization. On
Tuesday Mr.. BELFoRD, of Colorado, has the
floor and will open the battle, and if he gets
intogood play he will follow up the advantage
of Saturday with signal effect. The Demo-
Gratis begin to discover that they have weak
cause even at this early period in the con-
test, and it will grow weaker and weaker
the more vigorously and thoroughly it is
ventilated by earnest discussion. The Re
publicans are full of spirit and undaunted
in courage under unity and harmony ol
purpose which makes them solid in the ell
| counter.

DEMOCRATIC OWL SERVICE.


The Democratic theory of party patronage
which they observe and put in practice, and
which we showed up fully few days since,
is not the theory or practice they wish other
parties to use. They claim patent on it,
and object to its use by others. Since the
Republicans came into power the Demo-
Gratis have preached sermons against this
practice rs eloquent as that of PAUL before
AGRIPPA when he caused him to exclaim,
Thou almost pesuadest me to be u
christian" In fact, if results are TO be
taken as a rule by which to judge of elo-
quence, the Democratic sermons are more
effective than that of PAUL, for they have
convinced one ruler that it is good policy to
appoint his political opponents TO Office, and
| they have not been slow to take advantage
of their ability, rs can be seen by the num-
Der of leading Democrats who hang around
the corridors of the White House and Sc
cure places for their adherents.
For Democrats to appoint their friends TO
office when they have the power is all right
and proper according to Messrs. BAYARD
BECK, EATON, and VOORHEES,, but for Re-
publicans to do so is all wrong and part
isan," say Messrs, HILL, STEPHENS, COR
DON, LAMAR, and others when they besiege
President HAYES to appoint their Demo.
cratic friends to places of trust, honor, OI
profit"
The oratorical powers Of the average
Democrat have never been used more sue
cessfuly Or profitably than in convincing
Republican rulers that it is wrong for Re.
pubicans to appoint Republicans to office
The evidence of which fact can be found in
the thousands of Democrats now in Office
ranging from Cabinet minister downward
who have been appointed by Republicans al
the solicitation of Democrats.
But if the Republicans should in turr
ask to be shown list of Republican Off
cials appointed by Democrats, none can be
found. The Democrats control more thar
half the State governments, and in some o.
them the official patronage is very large
but nowhere can you find any Republicans
holding positions under these Governors
In fact, some of these Governors have VIC
lated the laws they have sworn to support
to keep from appointing Republicans tC
office, required by law to be filled by Re
publicans. Democrats preach and act on'
way when they are in power, and advise
| others to act differently.

THE OPENING CAMPAIGN IN CONGRESS.

The Democrats in the House on Saturday
developed their war tactics by deplOying
their skirmishers and marking their lines
of battle. Those regarded as Conservative,
such men, for instance, as STEPHENS, of
Georgia, were brought to the front and put
under exercise to test their loyalty to King
Caucus STEPHENS mannuvered with fidel-
ity but in weakness. lie kept strict step
to the caucus music but his weapons were
indifferent and his ammunition defective.
He simply declared the clause under con-
sderation, which repeals the law authOriz-
ing the use Of troops at the polls, to be ger
name to the army appropriation bill; but
his defense of the merits of the measure
was lame and impotent His argument, ii
argument it can be called, was weak and
dilTusive. 1t scarcely rose above the
grade of miserable pettifogging Of the
question. His strongest point was the
bare assertion that the law is lraught
with danger to the public well
fare, but we look in vain for anything
like argument or incident adduced to sus-
tain the point. He did say that the coun-
try had lived three-fourths of century
without such n law, and hence, inieren-
TALLY, there is no necessity for it now. And
it may with equal propriety be said that
the country had existed three -fourths of n
century with slavery and without rebellion,
but that ffords no argument why slavery
should have been perpetuated, and rebel
lion, when it presented its bloody front,
should not have been crushed out by the
strong arm Of the Government. Ont of the
rebellion came freedom and citizenship for
the slave, and with these events came the
necessity for using the same power that
freed the slave and made him citizen, to
protect him against violence and wrong
when he attempts to assert the rights Of cit
izenship at the polls where he has been, and
is liable to be, confronted with armed aud law
