The Census Deficiency Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1882


To the Editor Of The Euening Critic:
SIR: In the statement of Judge Law
renee, as appears in your last nights issue,
upon the above question, he has certainly
taken very extraordinary position.
The Comptroller, it is said, is of the
opinion that the appropriation should have
been made for the payment of the as
signees of certificates, and not to the Census
clerks themselves and because the brokers
have not been provided for, the President
should veto the bill" 1t is difficult to
understand the position the Comptroller
has taken, except upon the assumption that
he has been approached by the brokers, and
is interested in fighting their battle.
No one doubts that the passage of the
bill was expedited by the pressure brought
upon Congressman by the brokers' repre-
sentative and if Congress had been dis
posed to word it especially for their benefit,
it would have been done. That august
body, however, very properly recognized
only the legal principles in the matter, viz:
the employees who had performed the SER
vices. Every broker or banker who cashed
or discounted certificate fortified himself
with legal advice as to the legality of the
power of attorney, and knew in advance
that the document was legally void and
their reliance simply upon the integrity of
the clerk. 1t was this risk, and not the
doubt of the appropriation being made,
that induced them to charge the exorbi-
tant rate of interest.
believe but one banking firm (Messrs.
H. d. Cooke g. Co.. has discounted any OF
the certificates. it having been done almost
exclusively by street brokers and specu.
lators and it would certainly be an ex.
traordinary action by the President to veto
the bill, in view Of all the facts and simply
upon the ground urged by Judge Lawrence
He will not do it. Yours, &C., A. f.

Let 1t Apply To All.

To the Editor of The Euening Critic:
The article in Saturdays edition of your
wide-awake journal, under the caption,
"The Treasury Watchmen,' while step in
the right direction, does not cover the
whole case.
The economic spasm which struck the
majority of the Forty-fifth Congress at the
closing days of the second session thereof,
and which eliminated in the pitiful result
of reducing the too poorly paid watchmen
five dollars per month on salary of sixty,
embraced the watchmen of all the Execu-
tive Departments of the Government.
Now, while you so manfully appeal that
Justice be done to the watch force of the
Treasury Department, can you not permit
a word for the other watchmen whose
duties are the same and whose cares arc as
great?
At the third session oflthe same. Congress,
when the appeal was made for restoration
of salary and back pay, committee of the
watchmen (of whom l was one) of the
Post-offce Department waited on the SUBJ
Committee of Appropriations, with the
petition backed up by strong letters Of
approval from the Postmaster-Generala and
Col. Burnside In their behalf. The injus-
tice that had been done the watchmen was
SO manifest that the subcommittee recon-
mended ut once that the salary be raised to
the former figure of $720 per annum, but
neglected, for some unaccountable reason,
to make the bill retroactive.
The strong point in the case is, whether
if the services of the watchmen were worth
$720 per annum prior to the fiscal year 10
and have been worth that the subsequent
years, they should not receive the balance
due them on that year. Q.

fore quoted and you will see that Def
Cheney OF ONE MILLION AND NINETY
SEVEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND
NINETEEN DOLLARS has been created
in the railway mail.service.
In three and a-half months of our fiscal
year $i0s,000 was taken from the Star aud
steamboat-service and $l7s, 900 added to the
railway mai-service. In another six
months 81 ,o3O,00o was taken from tho Star
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS aud 81 ,097, 900 added
to the railway mailservice, and for the
next year it is proposed to reduce the Star
and stcamboat-service S75O,000 and add to
the railway mail-service 81 $4,000.
To recapitulatc with the exact figures as
shown by the official reports. the late
Thomas l.. James cut off from the Star
and steamboat-se in the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1881, $i0S,99o and for the
fisca, year ending June 30, 1882, $i,03o,i ,i55;
total saving Of $1,439,ii5, and foi the
same periods of time he created deficiency
in the railway mail-service for the year
ending June 80, 1881, Si75, ,l55 ; aud for the
year ending June 80, 1882, S1,097,3l9 a
total of 81, ,577,47 thus giving to the rail-
way corporations all the money taken
from the Star and steamboat-service and
s13s,029 besides.
Including the increased expenditure
asked for the late Thomas LIS benefactions
to the railway corporations are: Deficiency
in year ending June 30, 1881, Si75, ,155 I;
year ending June 80, 1882, $l,097,319; in
crease for year ending June 80, 1888,
81 ,697, $40, total of S3,272, 1885, which for
ten months official existence may be con-
sidered fair work, even for man of =" bus
iness principles" and n reformer.
We invite the closest scrutiny to these
figures. They are from the official records.
The members of Congress whose constit-
uents have been deprived of decent mail
facilities will do well to look after that
deficiency" of $1,577 ,474, and see how il
was made.

Mr.. Gladstone estimated that the in

would amount to f1,000,000, but the inn
proved prosperity of the country will carry
the amount up to more than three times
that sum. The returns for the first three
quarters of the year showed an increase of

tax, the general business Of the country is
so fourishing that the revenues from other

Our A. and M. College.

The catalogue for the present year
shows 304 students. The expenses for
board, washing, books, fuel, and every
thing for the nine months session is only
s116.60, and this sum may be reduced
by labor performed. The student is paid
eight cents per hour. Some of the stu
dents almost pay their board by their
labor upon the garden and farm of
the college. This labor is required
to be done as practical illustration of the
books and occupies the student for three
hours of the day when weather permits.
The successful beginning made by this
college, which has been literally aided
by the Mississippi Legislature, besides
receiving the Congressional land grant,
shows that it supplies necessity of the
people of Mississippi in giving a
thoroughpractieal education to its youth.
The institution was founded by the pro-
eeeds of a land grant by Congress, and
has been literally endowed by the State.
1t is looked to with pride by her people,
and with confident hope that it viii have
a long career of strength and honor and
usefulness.

Ostensibly the Tariff Commission Was
formed to take into consideration and
to thoroughly investigate all the various
questions relating to the agricultural,
commercial, mercantile, manufacturing,
mining and industrial interest of the
United States, so far as the same may
be necessary to the establishment of a
judicious Tariff, or a revision Of the
existing tariff upon scale Of justice TO
all interests, but the persons appointed
on the Commission show that it Is a
cheat--a packed affair to secure adj
vantages to the monopolists and to per
petuate the present system of extortion
and wrong for the benefit of the favored
classes. We thought this would be
the outcome, when it was first proposed,
just az we thought that another Com
mission, still moro memorable for hay-
ing deprived the people Of their choice
of President in 1876, was deliberately
devised for that purpose. With
the experience Of that Commission
fresh in their memories, the Dem
ocrats for the most part opposed
the Tariff Commission and insisted
that it was unmanly and unpatriotic in
Congress to abrogate the functions Of
its Committees and devolve them upon
an irresponsible conclave, which was
designed to postpone action on the
Tariff and to secure finally a one-sided
Report in the interests of the monopo.
lists. The worst fears have been real
lied and now with this additional
lesson that it is wisest TO put their trust
in fair-deaIing instead of trusting te
expediency, the Tariff reformers who
went into the trap can moralize-

Equalizing the Assessment of Prop
erty.

EDITORS CLARION: The Legislature at
its last session passed an act requiring the
Boards of Supervisors of the several eoun-
ties at their Irregular terms IN Apya. annual
ly," to appoint five taxpayers, who shall
be real estate owners, in each Supervisor s
District, to meet with the Board of Super
visors at their August term for the purpose
of equalizing the valuation of the taxable
property Of the county. The board, when
thus formed, is empowered to, raise the
assessed valuation of the property of any
taxpayer, upon satisfactory evidence that
said property is not assessed at fair Valu-
alton, and in passing upon the valuation of
any taxable property, the valuation thereof
agreed upon by a majority of the tax-pay-
ers, appointed under the provisions of this
act shall be prinla facte proof before the
board of the correct valuation OF said
property" Now, Mr.. Editor, the point I
wish to make is this: the law says the
board "sbdu, at their regular terms in
April this appointment, so is it not
reasonable to suppose that q commission
appointed at any other than regular term
in April would be illegal and its acts void
II this conclusion is correct-of which there
can be little doubt-the Boards of Supervi-
sors have no authority whatever to meet and
make this appointment, except in counties
where q regular term in Aprit-not special
lis held. This, it seems to me, is matter
of very grave Importance, not only to the |
Individual taxpayers, but to the people of
the entire State. Sales of property for
feited to the State for non-payment of taxes
under levy of the Board of Supervisors
based upon the equalization made by this
commission, unless said commission was
legally and properly appointed, would be
illegal, tax titles worthless, litigation in the
courts would follow, and Confusion worse
founded the almost inevitable result.
1.-THE Boards Of Supervisors wish to be on
the safe side if they desire to save trouble,
annoyance and much litigation in the |
courts, they viii move carefully, cautiously, /
and discreetly by observing the exact |
letter and not perhaps, the spirit Of the Law
in this matter.
But enough, Mr.. Editor-I only wish to |
call public attention to chs matter before it /
is too late to remedy what may prove to be
an elephant.

PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.

Resolred By the Democratic and C0nserpa-

bled That we reaairm our devotion to the
time .honored principles of the Democratic
party, a strict construction of the Federal
Constitution, obedience to the laws of the
General Government within its constitu-
tional limits, and maintain the right of the
State to regulate its local affairs By its own
authority. We are unalterably opposed to
the continued acts of the Federal authori-
ties tending to the Capitalization of all
power in the General Government to the
destruction of local selEgoyernment.
We present the record of the administra-
ton of the States affairs while in control OF
the Democratic party as an earnest Of the
fidelity of the party to the principles of
economy and good government.
We invite immigration and capital to our
State, and pledge full and perfect protection
to all such as may come among us.
That public education should be fostered
and encourag by the State IS far as the
means of the State will allow, having at the
same time due regard to the preservation
of the public credit.
We recognize the necessity of protecting
and preserving the purity of the balot,bsx
as the safeguard of free institutions, and
condemn any attempt to interfere with the
free and full exercise of the elective fran
chise.

Board for the purpose of furnishing
information as to the quality and price
of land, accessibility to market, health
and other matters, desired by persons
seeking homes. To make the immigra-

the people interested in its welfare
