Republican National Committee in In

Gen. Grant has written a letter, in
which he denies a recently published
statement that Gen. Schofeld had
sought 70 have him remove Gen. George
II. Thomas before his defeat of the Con-
federate General Hood, at Nashville.
Tenn. On the contrary, he says Gen.
SchOfeld sought to remove the feeling
that he Grant had that Gen. Thomas
had been slow. Gen. Grant cOnfesses
that he was at the time impatient with
what he thought was the hardness on
the part of Gen. Thomas, and did at one
time contemplate his removal and the
substitution of another officer in his
place. Gen. Thomas victory, however,
insured him the retention of his import
ant command.

THE WATERMELON SUPPLY OF NEW
YoRK.-The schooner Martha was the
first of the watermelon fleet to arrive in
New York from North Carolina, and
disposed of Its cargo, seven thousand
melons, at the good figure of thirty dol
lars hundred, or thirty cents piece
Georgia generally ships the first melons
of the season, but North Carolina got
ahead of her this year. Virginia, Mary
land and Delaware, however, furnish
most of the New York demand, but the
melons in these States are little late
and not yet pickable. Indeed, the
melon season opened very late this year,
June being the month when the season
usually begins. New York's receipts
amount to about one hundred thousand
day during the season. They are re
tailed at the average price of fifty cents
apiece, making the cost of providing
that city with melons something over
one million five hundred thousand dol
lars month.

have power, when satisfied that any one
has knowingly sworn to false return, to
have such person presented to the grand
jury at its next meeting. The oath at
tached to the tax lists shall be the same
as is provided for by the general tax act.
For the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of the act in the listing OF
property, all real estate shall be returned
in the county where same is located,
except wild lands; and all personal prop
erty in the county of owners residence,
except such personal property which is
on farm or plantation of person in a
county other than his residence, and
which is necessary to be kept on said
farm or plantation to carry on the same.
Real estate for the purposes of taxation
shall be construed to include the land
itself, whether laid out in town lots or
otherwise, and all buildings, structures
and improvements, trees or other fixtures
of whatever kind thereon, and all rights
and privileges thereto belonging or in
anywise appertaining, and all mines,
minerals, quarries and fossils in and
under the same.
Personal property shall be construed
for purposes of taxation to include all
goods, chattels, moneys, credits and eff
fects, wheresoever they may be; all
ships, boats and vessels belonging to in
habitants of this State, whether at home
or abroad, and all capital invested there
in; all moneys at interest within or with
out the State due the person to be taxed !;
all stocks and securities, whether in cor
porations within this State or in other
States, owned by citizens of this State.
The bill, as it stands, is a meritorious
measure and promises to equalize the
burden of taxation to the satisfaction of
those who have to bear it. However, it
would be strange if the united wisdom
of the Legislature could not make its
provisions wider reaching and better
calculated to the end sought. The meas
ure, if it does no more, will
serve to introduce the subject of
assessment, and once they take hold of
it the Assembly should not dismiss it till
they have agreed upon a better system
than the one in practice. The West
brook bill is a good one, and if not en-
tirely adapted to the purpose it seeks to
accomplish, it is open to such amend
ment as may in the judgment of the
Legislature be deemed just and practical.
