Cheaper Beef for the East.
NelV York Letter


The Chicago butchers evidently mean
what they say when they tell us they in
tend to supply New York with fresh beef
cheaper than we have heretofore been able
to get it by our present methods. In COM
pany with sundry New York people OF
large means, they are now building on the
wharf, near West Washington market,
what may be called two story refrigera-
tor, 50 feet long and 20 vida, with hollow
wooden walls, filled in with nOn-conduct-
ing material. for the purpose Of facilitating
the business of transporting and storing
dressed beef from the Western cities. In
this way they expect to control the mar
ket, at least for the coarser beef: the prices
of prime qualities will probably not be af-
fected. Single car loads of beef have been
no unusual thing for long while past, but
the increased requirements of the market
now are such as to demand the prosecution
of the trade on much larger scale. If the
project is successful, it is believed it will
have the effect of entirely doing away with

DECLINE IN the Prices OF MEATS.

The Eastern papers are at last begin
ming to discuss the pleasant topic of
decline in meats.
This is the one form of food which
most effects the cost of living and about
which housekeepers are most concerned.
The large sales Of Texas cattle are
having a great influence on the mark
cts. They were formerly thought not
to be ola good grade, yet they have i'm
proved in quality in the last few years.
The herders have, by crossing, brought
forth some first-claSs stock and 1t is now
much more valuable.
In the Philadelphia market good
western cattle are bringing from 81 TO
=! cents. Three months ago western
cattle were not to be had for less than
from 70 81 cents. Texas cattle now
sell at 1 and A. cents. A Texas bullock
will cost at present prices from SIS to
500 on an average, while native cattle
run to about 500 head.
There is every assurance that before
winter sets in the prices of meat, like
most other commodities, will yield to
the effect of the superintendent crops.

PIE DEwoCRATIC TICKET.

The Democratic Convention NOM
mated, yesterday, Legislative ticket,
comprised of three candidates from the
city, Messrs. WOODS, STIFEL and
MYLEs, and one from the country, Mr..
OLDHAM, of the Triadelphia district.
The ticket is received with general
appreciation by the public. All the
candidates are well known and are gen.
tlemen ofcharacter and experience.
Mr.. WOODS has represented this dis
triet for the past four years in the State
Senate. He is q lawyer of aeknowl-
edged ability, good debater, well in
formed in public affairs and will make
an influential member of the House.
Mr.. STIFEL is also a lawyer who has
risen rapidly to lucrative practice at
tie Ohio county bar. He is of German
parentage. but was born aud raised In
this city. HIS family has occupied and
continues to hold influential positions
in the business industries of Wheeling.
Mr.. STIFEI. is full of industry and Will
prove working member who may be
depended upon 20 dc his whole duty as
a delegate. -,
Mr.. MYLEs has long been identified
with the business and public interests
of the city, and has occupied positions
in the Board of Commissioners and City
Council, which have given him exper-
fence and training enough in public
affairs to qualify him for the duties OF q
legislator and this experience in con-
junction with his well known energy
and activity of character will make him
a useful representative.
Mr.. OLDHAMis a representative farm
er, who belongs to family well and ia
vorably known in this section of the
State. He is a brother of the late
WILEY OLDHAM, of Marshall county,
and will make an influential counsellor
Tor and colleague in a legislative body,
representing an agricultural State.
Comparatively speaking, the Demo-
cratic ticket is choice one. The Re
publicans set up a ticket simply to trade
on, and it will be used.for that purpose.
1t is better fitted for that than for some
other things. The Democratic ticket
was nominated to be elected-to repre-
sent this county in the next Legisla-
ture. And it will do it.

THE HltelligeRcGr of yesterday de-
votes more than q column tothe subject
of the re-valuation of real estate, and
furnishes some very refreshing figures,
which serve to shcw that the State I'M
der Democratic rule has made wonder
full progress, though that is net what
the HteRigcRcer meant to show. Among
other things, the. htelligencer states
that the re-yaluation Ofreal estate shows
an increase of thirty-Sir per cent. in
Marshall county, and hirhI-tlCo per
cent. in Wetzel eounty;..and that there
will be an increase in the State taxes
assessed in Marshall county of 3, 10000
and an increase in county taxes Of two
or three times that amount. Who
would have thought this of good, old,
Republican Marshall county? Who
but the editor Of the Hltelligcncer could
prove To us that because the real estate
of Marshall county happens, by an as
sessment made by two Of its respectable
farmers and Taxpayers, to show q
healthy increase in value that the
Republican Commissioners who have
control of the finances of the county
will impose taxes upon their people so
much in excess of the amount needed?
AS the KateIigCncGr article seems to
be mainly for the benefit of the Wetzel
county farmers, we will devote some
attention to the taxes heretofore levied
and to the re-aSsessment of real estate
so far as it will affect that county.
In 1870 the State was controlled by
the Republican party. In that year the
population Of Wetzel county was S,554,
and the amount of taxes levied by the
State OH the real estate of the county
was S4,604.S2 or a fraction less than
fifty four cents per capita.
In 1880 the Democratic party had
control oftheState. In that year the pop
ulatiOn of Wetzel county was Il, 500, and
the amount oftaxes levied by the State on
the real estate Of the county was 3, 95S.47
or fraction over tlrenty-eigh cents per
capita. That is to say that the share Of
State taxes upon real estate paid by
each man, woman and child in Wetzel
county in 1870 Ieas almost thrice as large
as Il FdS ia 1880.
Now. suppose we take the LateGigeR-
GERS figures as to the increase in rea'
estate in wetzel county, and let us see
how matters will stand.
Add thirty-twO per cent. to the
amount Of tax levied by the State on
the real estate of the county and We
have S5,2lS.6S-abOut thirtJ-eight cents
per capita-or sixteen cents per capita
less than was assessed in 1870. As to
the county taxes we will leave them to
be regulated by the people of the eoun-
ty. and we have no doabt that they have
sufficient intelligence to manage their
own affairs.
