THE ASSESSMENT QUEsT1oN.-In
New Orleans the assessment ques-
ton was discussed in an unofficial
way yesterday by Mayor Shakes
peare and several of the Council
members. The Mayor stated that
there was great deal of property
in the city which was assessed at a
figure Is or 20 per cent. less than
it should be, and if the proper as
sessments were made on all the
property in the city the taxes would
be less. It appears from what the
Times-Democrat reporter learned
that all property valued at $4,000
or $4,000 is fully assessed, and that
the poorer class of people are the
sufferers in consequence. A great
deal of property which the owners
refuse to sell at a lower figure than
SIS, 900 or $4,000, has assessm ents
on it amounting to from $4,000
to $12,000.-Iimes-De Democrat.

No SMaLL-Pox IN CoyINGTos.-

Runners having been circulated
throughout the country that there
were several cases of smallpox in
Covington, we questioned Drs.
Randolph and Chambers upon the
subject last Wednesday evening,
and both ply sieians emphatically
denied the existence of either vario-
loid or smallpox in Covington.
Such rumors are calculated to in
jure the business of our town, and
it is very thoughtless to circulate
them, unless they can be substan-
tiated by facts. If that obnoxious
disease. which is prevailing to an
alarming extent in many portions
of the country, should make its ap-
pearance here, we would consider
it our duty to promptly announce
the fact in the FARMER. But up to
the present time, we are happy to
state, there has not been o single
case in Covington.

The fall planting of cane has come
up beautifully in many places, and
it promises to give q heavy stand
for the forthcoming crop. The
eyes on the old stubbles ?have also
sprouted freely, and the weather
has of late been so mild that they
are growing. Of course, the new
growth above ground is liable to be
cut down by frost, but as the roots
have all the time been growing, new
shoots would, in that event, put out
the first warm spell. There is q
prospect for a large crop next sea-

ATTACKED ON TUE H1GHwAY.-On
Monday night January I'd, MIR. W.
Dorsan King, who keeps store on
Bcgue Chitto, about thirteen miles
from Covington, met with q mys.
terious adventure. He was going
home from Covington, accompanied
by his son, aged about twelve years,
and shortly after they left the pub
lie road, and entered a lane near
their residence, they were approach
ed by three men, one large and two
small ones. Mr.. King spoke to
them in friendly way, supposing
them to be some of his neighbors.
They made no reply, but imm edi-
ately attacked him with knives,
cutting his clothes in eleven places,
and slightly wounding him in the
hand, after which they ran away.
Mr.. King failed to identify any OF
the perpetrators of this outrage, as
it was quite dark at the time. As
the best Of friendly relations exist
between Mr.. King and his neigh
bcrs. he is at a loss to account for
this attack. The fact is apparent,
however, that they intended to take
his life, and doubtless thought they
had fatally wounded him, before
they ran away. And the fact that
they refrained from speaking, would
seem to indicate that they were
fearful of betraying themselves by
the sound of their voices. This
looks suspicious, and clearly proves
that they must have been some OF
Mr.. Kings acquaintance or GUS
toners. The matter will doubtless
be thoroughly investigated.

PUNCHED COIN.

Punched coins are getting to be
rather plentiful in Covington. We
found three punched dimes and a
punched nickel among our small
change yesterday. During the day
we sent one of the punched dimes
up town for some provisions, and
the merchant refused to accept it,
and we were compelled to buy the
aforesaid provisions on credit. As
we are not in the habit of having SO
much money in our possession at
one time, and We cannot afford to
keep it, we are at a loss to know
how to dispose of this thirty-fye
cents of mntilated specie, but sup
pose we will have get rid of it at an
immense sacrifice. But like a true
champion of reform. we are willing
to submit to this great pecuniary
loss. and refuse to accept any
punched coin in exchange for good
money hereafter. if our good
example will have the desired effect
Of causing similar action on the
part of our merchants and business
men. This is the only way that
we can hope to free ourselves from
the nuisance Of punched coin.
Several of our merchants already
refuse to accept it, and Marshal
Reagan very properly declines to
receive it in payment of corporation
taxes. Let the crusade against it
become universal. In the mean
time, we propose to make a neck
lace of our thirty-five cents of
punched coin, and put it up for
rattle, as our reduced circumstances
compel us to realize something on
it. In view of the numerous bust
ness failures that are daily occur
ring in the country, we are exceed
ingly thankful that we have only
thirty-five cents worth of this mutt
lated money, instead of six bits or a
dollar, as in that case our business
would have been seriously crippled,
and we would have had to make an
assignment. As it is, we feel that
we have had narrow escape, and
one that will serve as a warning to
us in the future, and our motto
henceiorth will be. ''no more punch
ed coin received at this Office"

An interesting decision has just
been rendered by the Court of APP
peals Of the Fifth Circuit in a case
from the Parish of st. Mary. The
appellee, who is the head of a family,
claimed that under the Homestead
Law his place was exempt from
seizure and sale. The Court held
that the defendant, who is q wild
over, was not entitled to the bene-
fits of the exemption clause of the
law, because his children, who are
all of age and able bodied, are not
dependent upon him for sup
port. That the Homestead Laws
only grant exemption to the debtor
when he has family dependent
upon him for actual and necessary
support, and are unable to make a
living for themselves. The Court
therefore ordered that the juog-
ment of the lower court, in so
far as the moneyed demand and
recognition of the plaintiffs mort
gage are concerned, is affirmed,
and also ordered that that portion
of the judgment postponing the
execution of the mortgage be re-
versed and set aside, and that there
be judgment in favor of the plaintiff
declaring her mortgage executory.

The Guiteau trial is drawing to o
close. Judge Porter delivered an
eloquent address last Tuesday. In
reply to an interruption by Quit
eau, Judge Porter said:
"The prisoner is mistaken, if he
believes by his unseemly bawling he
can prevent my voice from being
heard by the jury. The puppet
cannot be moved in such good time
as when he sat with his counsel, and
by his outbursts now he is fast
Tightening the hangman's moose
about his neck"
With nervous twitehing of the
mouth, Guiteau muttered. "We'll
see about that"
Judge Cox delivered his decision
on the question of Jurisdiction, and
closed by saying:
81 shall not charge the jury to
acquit if they find reasonable doubt
as to any one element, but
1 shall take into consideration and
charge them relative to all elements,
and that if, from all the circum-
stances and all the evidence, they
have reasonable doubt of the COM
mission by defendant of the crime
as charged, then they shall acquit. "
As Judge Cox finished speaking.
Guiteau called out: 81 am perfect
ly satisfied with this exposition Of
law"
The Court then adjourned until
Thursday. when the argument fol
the prosecution was to be opened
by Judge Davidge.
