According To Washington dispatch. the Dem.
ocraiic members Of the Senate Committee on
Rules and of the Senate Select Committee on the
Counting of the Electoral Votes have held
meeting with view of agreeing upon some re-
commentator Tor action in regard To the clecto-
raj count to he taken by the Senate at this ses-
sion. 1t was substantially decided to recommend
that the two houses should adopt new joint
rule providing that, in case only one certificate
of the electoral vote of a State be presented to
Congress il shall not be rejected, except hy The
affirmative vote of the two houses, and that
in case OF dual returns neither shall I've counted
unless the two houses agree that one OF them is
a true return. This proposition is substantially
the same as that offered by Senator Morton in
the Forty-tOur;h Congress and then adopted by
the Senate in the form Of a bill, which, however,
failed to receive final action in that body in con-
sequence Of Mr. Thurman's having entered
motion to reconsider its passage. The former
twenty second joint rule required every electO
raj vote to he rejected TO which any objection
WAS sustained by either House

Judge Settle very promptly said. that it was
due 10 the Governor and every other citizen, that
the United States should promptly Try all cases

Ii will be seen that under every head Of the
valuation of property and number Of animals,
except one, is found q large increase during 1873
over 1876 in amounts The exception is the head
valuation of land, including Improvements. ex-
cept town or city property" When il viii be
remembered that by recent act of the Legisla-
ture, every property holder must make sworn
return OF all of bis property and the cash valua-
ton of the same. and not the assessor, the de-
crease will be readily accounted for.
II is remembered that the Republican assessors
assessed the property at as high valuation as
they dared 10, and enormous rates Of taxation
were forced from those citizens who were able to
pay them, and those who were not, their prop
erty was sold for payment OF the same. In this
manner the citizens pockets from year 10 year
were kept drained to support a government
which offered little or no protection 10 them and
their rights. The old story of how the officials
used the money extorted from the citizens TO
their own private interests, is too well known for
us to dwell on
Under each head Of the amount Of taxes paid
will be found reduction in the year 1879, ex-
cept under two heads, viz The school fund tax
for these increases are that the rates under
these heads for 1876 was the same as for 1879,
and the increase was on accoun: Of the increase
Of the valuation Of property.
Now look al The diffe, ence in the amoui of
taxes paid for the two years in question. The
total State tax in 1876 was $14 220 "a and in 1879
it was s., 900 80: a decrease in favor Of 1879 OF
$4,3lO.8j The total county tax in 1875 WAS
$24 ,23s 49, and in 1879 $14, 77227; a decrease in
favor of 1879 Of $9,46619! Just think of it
$13, 77704 saved 10 the tax payers in Madison
county in one year, which, in all probability,
they would have had 10 pay had the Republi-
cans succeeded in 1876, Not only have the tax
Is been reduced, but all the personal property
had increased in value in 1879 over 1876, 1892,
905 This valuation made by the property
owners themselves, under OATH and The figures
cannot he questioned.
Now, with these and other facts presented, can
any fair minded thinking person dispute the
fact that there has been great reform in the ad
administrations of the State government? Can he
deny that there is a change for the better:

ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE.
DEATH OF MR. wM. wYHKoOP, FOR ONE QUAR-
TER OF A CENTURY RESIDENT OF GREENE

DEATH OF Mr.. WIN. wYNKoOP, FOR ONE QUAR-
TER OF CENTURY A RESIDENT OF GREENE
COUNTY
The mortality among our elder citizens during
the past four months has been somewhat re-
maj kable, no less than four deaths having oc-
CURED within that time ameng those who for
many years were more or less identified with the
interests OF our county. Early last Saturday
morning the solemn toll OF The bell announced
the taking away Of still another, Mr. VIM Wyn.
kOOp one of the earliest landmarks and a most
highly respected citizen.
The pronounced cause of his death was cancer
in the stomach, with which he had been afflicted
for several years and had been closely confined
since December last. AS it became evident that
death could be his only relief and must soon
come, the scattered members of the family were
summoned and were all present at the death
bed, except one daughter, Mrs. Emma Dyke. of
Tallahassee, Florida, who was called from the
side of her dying father on Friday night last by
telegram stating the dangerous illness of one
of her own family.
Those who witnessed the last moments of Mr.
WnykOop describe the scene as being an unu
sually affecting one. 1t will be remembered
that for several years prior to his death he was
quite deaf During bis late illness his senses Of
hearing became entirely lost, but he could dis
tinguish much that was said 70 him by the mo-
ton of the lips As his p wer of speech was
unlmpdIIeO, ne was aOle 10 converse quite SAtls-
factorily with the members of his family, and
expressed great anxiety for the arrival Of one of
his sons before his death. During Friday night
his eye sight also failed. and shortly thereafter
the son he so much desired 10 see arrived, but
too late TO make bis presence known.
The funeral services took place from the
Methodist church on Sabbath afternoon, Rev.
j. w. Eckles preaching the discourse, and were
attended by a large concourse of people from all
parts Of the country. The seating capacity Of
the church was Inadequate TO accommodate all
whe desired to manifest their respectful memory
Of the man, who. during a residence Of nearly
one quarter Of u century in this county, had
never earned an enemy.
The death Of Mr.. Wynkoop occurred on his
sixty eighth birthday. He came 10 Greene coun-
~ from Ohio in the spring Of 1856, since when
he has been a constant resident here The last
twelve years of his life was spent ID jefferson.
He was the father OF twelve children, ten of
whom he raised TO manhood and wnmanhood.
and nine of whom are siill living. One sOn,
James A., died in the Union Army, and was
buried in the national cemetery at Nashville.
II was the fathers dying request to his son Har
vey, OF this place, that James remains be placed
by the side Of his ewn, which will be complied
with if their identity Is possible.
