Under the above caption tue Darlington
Free Press pitches into the last legislature
because II repealed the law which made IL
The duty Of every town and city clerk to
return the number OF polls and the amount
Of taxable property in every town each
year 10 the state treasurer. The returns
were used us the basis OF state taxation
and ~ there will lie no state tax on prop
erty in general this year, IT is difficult to
see why such returns should he made. OF
course It is right aud proper for the state
officers to know just what the grand list
in every town 10 the state is. bnt there is
no real necessity for it, and no occasion
for the Free Prese to raise such howl
about il, To show what great ado can
be made abou nothing We quote a por.
ton OF the Flee Press editorial
The repeal OF the requirement in ques.
ton is most extraordinary proceeding.
II leaves the state with no knowledge
whatever Of its own valuation. The As.
sessed valuation Of each town is recorded
in the town clerks Office and there il will
remain. The returns are not to be collect.
ed aud there 10 no official way OF deter.
mining the valuation OF real estate and
personal property and the number, OF polls
IN tho state. Such condition OF affairs
exists 10 no other state OF the Union, and
that it should exist in this state il a dis.
race 10 the commonwealth. And il is not
only disgsacefnl but ridiculous that the
state should have no means OF ascertaining
its own valuation.
As to the drawbacks connected with the
new order OF things, there is now, to say
nothing Of minor points, no method what
ever OF gauging the work Of the new tax
law. Under the first two years OF the law.
the figures furnished by the town clerks
and published by the secretary OF state
furnished convincing proofs Of its eflicien.
cy. But now everything is at sea and no
one can form the remotest idea as TO
whether or not the law is still in successful
working order by the changes and add.
tions it made the Legislature did its best
to spoil the law; and whatever measure Of
success il may have Lad this year is due
wholly to the force Of public sentiment and
the influence of the newspaper press; and
the repeal OF the law for the collection OF
the returns is another heavy blow at the
system which was inaugurated under such
encouraging auspices.
Every day makes it palmer that the last
Legislature was lacking in brains, in fore.
sight, in common sense.

been troubled with a ghost, which ap-

old quarry on Pine street, and in conse-
quencc of a report that his ghostship
had been seen on Friday evening, a
large crowd assembled last night in
hopes that he would again make his ap-

Persons commenced to come from all
quarters AS ear y as O'Clock, and by
10 O'Clock large crowd was present
Men stood patiently III mirr until short
ly after II O'Clock, when faint light
was seen in the quarry. Several per
sons moved over, and upon looking
down saw the light moving around in
an erratic manner at the bottom of the
pit. Then suldenlya a figure rUhed in

fitting around for Il time seemed Ia fol
