Political assessments.
In July last authorized q public an
noupcement that employees of the gov
eminent should regard themselves as at
liberty to exercise their pleasure In
making or refusing to make political
contributions, and that their action ia
that regard would in no manner affect
cir official status. In this announce.
ment acted upon the view which had
always maintained and still maintain,
that public officer should be rs abso-
iuteiy free as any other citizen to give
or to withhold o contribution for the
aid OF the party of his choice. Il has,
however, been urged, and doubtless
not without foundation In fact. that by
solicitation of official Supporters and by
other modes, such contributions h>ve
al times been obtained from persons
whose oaly motive for giving has been
the fear OF what might befall them il
they refused. 1t goes without saving
that such contributions are not volun-
tary, and in my judgment their collec-
ton should be prohibited by law. A
bill which will efiectually suppress them
will receive my cordial approval.

THE ROAD NOW OPEN.
NO TAXATION FoR TEN YEARS

NO TAXATION FOR TEN YEARS.
We have before referred TO the fact
that our enterprising citizen, Col. o. c..
King, had very generously offered to
donate to any person or association suit
able sites on which to erect manufac-
turing establishments If the corporate
authorities would pass an ordinance to
exempt such establishments from mum
icipal taxation for ten years. This was
most gracefully done, and with liber-
ality aud enterprise characteristic of
this gentleman. Ii is in thorough keep
ing with his nature and in perfect ac-
cord with his ideas and conceptions of
the progress and devs lopment of this
town. OF course, as we have already
announced, his proposition was accept
e by the Board Of Mayor an Il Alder
men. They could do nothing less with
out throwing a wet blanket on its flu
ture. The road is mo- open 10 manu-
featuring. No charges whatever for
q sites" and no taxation for ten years.
II was this sort Of liberality that gave
Chattanooga its "send Off and which
has since made it one Of the most i'm
pOrtant and prosperous cities in the
South Morrislown is duplicating its
comprehensive and spacious liberality
through the generosity of Col. King
We believe the result viii be most graf
flying in every conceivable aspect or

Suppression Of PRygamy.

Thine President congratulates Con-
gress upon the passage of last seasons
law for the suppression of polygamy in
the Territory of Utah. The Commits
sioners appointed under the law have
been engaged ia their labors in Utah,
and have made commendable progress.
There were, and remain, obstacles of
no mean order to be overcome, which
The President hopes may disappear with
out occasion for more stringent legisla-
ton The failure of the pc pie of that
Territory TO accept the law in its full
spirit was, he says, perhaps to have
been expected to some extent, because
of the radical Change in the election
system heretofore prevailing, and the
natural aversi to he law of the great
majority of the people OF the Territory.
He recommends the continuance of the
commission until it shall have been de-
monstrated that there is no longer prac-
tica necessity for IFS use.
The estimas es required for the pay
men of pensions for the current yeaIIis
800, 600, 600. This is an increase over
last years estimates, accounted for by
the adjudication of greater number of
claims because of the increased clerical
force authorized at the last session of
Congress.
