as Clerk TO the Board of County Commits
sioners, and requiring the collectors, when
making their payments, to publish alpha
betical lists showing who had paid their
taxes up to that period, the only objections
to our present system, that1 had ever heard
from any quarter, would be met and, as |
thought, a decided improvement would be
made upon it, because the additional ex-
pense would be more than offset by the con-
venience afforded our people and public
officers.
In discussion of this subject before the
Committee on Ways and Means | distinctly
stated my readiness to concur in amend
ments that would secure this result. That
statement was made in the presence of the
Honorable Senator from this county, who,
together with prominent Democrat OF this
county, diligently labored for the passage OF
the Senate bill from the time of its intro
duction into the House until it met its fate
in that body. made the same statement
in discussion OF the subject before the
House, but my worthy colleagues and the
the Honorable Senator thought proper to
take no notice Of it. | suppose it is but
reasonable to conclude that by my co-opera-
ton and the prompt assistance continually
afforded by our industrious and enterprls-
ing Senator, the Member who favored the
treasurer plan could have secured County
Treasurer and made our system approx
mate very nearly conformity to the Dor
chester system, the most approved in the
State, which would have been entirely over
thrown by the passage Of the Senate bill.
submit to the thoughtful consideration
of such of your readers, who are willing to
| put beneath them personal and partisan
preferences, whose fault is it that it was not
donef
| claim it was theirs, unless they can
make it clear that there were yet other de-
fects in our present system for which this
Bill provided remedy, and at the same
time there were not coupled with these re-
medal provisions UGH Objectionable fea
lures as would make the remedy worse thar
the disease.
In conclusion, I would remark as to the
Dorchester county system, we now have the
foundation in ours for it, and, as under 1T
auspices its finances are in such healthy
condition as to enable it to transact business
on q cash basis, it is well worth a careful
investigation by those who may hereafte
represent US in the Legislature and as Il
its reputed originator, Mr.. Meekins, | trus
it is because OF the reputation as politica
economist he has earned that he now loom
up as a candidate for he Office of Comp
troller of the Treasury, because ii the da,
of such an elevated and wholesome politi
cal sentiment is dawning upon us, in whicl
such men, for like reasons, are promoted u
positions of honor and trust we may wei
be sanguine that our progress will be up
ward and onward in the highway of reform
in the methods of the administration OF pull
lie affairs.

HOPS PR ESENT AND
PROSPECTIVE,

The reaction that commenced about a
fortnight ago has reached its height, as
the situation in New York is substantial
ly the same as at the opening of the
week, except perhaps that the inquiries
fewer and the business smaller. The
sales are now limited to small parcels
within range of 26 to 90 for fair to
good. Choice are scarce, and first class
goods are difficult to find. When obtain
ed they command slight premium, not
to exceed one or two cents. There is
nothing of moment doing in the way of
export, though there are a few moderate
size orders here, but the bids are too low
to secure the goods that are wanted. In
the country a stronger feeling prevails,
and the increased price asked has appar-
emily closed the outlets, for we cannot
learn of a sale of any moment made in
the interior this week. Letters from the
interior indicate that the yield of early
seedlings will be larger than for several
years past, and probably reach 5000 bales
or more.
The Cooperstown Journal of the 18th
says: There was an upward movement in
hops last week in the country, which cut
the price to % cents, at which several
lots were bought, and one small lot choice
brought 251s cents. This, however, did
not last, and since Monday morning pur-
chases have been made in Madison and
Otsego counties by dealers here and at
Oneonta at 221a to % cents. The reports
as to the condition of the growing crop
are more favorable since the change to
dry weather, and the indications point to
yield per acre in the hop districts of
of this state fully up that oflast year. In
some sections it will be greater, and the
acreage is larger.
The New York Bulletin says: There
are but few orders on the market at pres
ent, and they are of an unimportant char
acter. Dealers are not offering a great
| deal, but the samples carried around by
| commission men indicate more hops,
| such as they are, than the market needs.
| Prices are nominal in a great measure,
with 26 to % cents, the general figures
| for ordinary goods, but little more
wanted for really fine stock, which is
scarce.
The Boston Journal says of the hop
situation: The strong turn which we no.
! ticed last week has resulted in an advance
and sales were made in New York few
days ago at 80 to 80 cents pound. This is
a material gain, and indicates much bet
| ter range for the new crop than was gen.
orally expected. In the hop districts of
/ New York several transactions are re-
ported at % cents, and some buyers are
/ giving 26 to 81 cents. Advices in regard
to the crop are unfavorable, but these
must be taken with caution, as it very
evident there is movement on foot to
boost the market. Buyers here are still
| very conservative and are not willing to
pay over % cents for the best offering.
They seem to have no confidence in the
current reports, but we are forced to be-
lieve that prices have touched bottom
and that the new crop will start off at %
| to 30 cents. Exports have been operat-
ing to some extent at 26 to % cents a
pound in New York.

Mrs. French was person Of more than ordinary
intelligence and ability. and lady of refined and cul-
tvated tastes. By her death the husband loses low
ing wife and companion her children a fond mother,
the community a worthy and exemplary member.
Although she has passed out of this life at compare
lively early age her life has not been in vain; the
memory of her life and example here will remain with
those who knew her for their good Though several
years of i'll health and suffering deracted much from
her power to labor for the good of others, yet the
world is better for her having lived in it. She
person of liberal and enlarged views of this life well
the life to come and those brought in contact with
her could but be lifted up and encouraged in the jour-
ney of life. Strong in her belief of future life where
all would be reunited death had no terriers for her;
and although possessed of happy home, and sur
rounded by all the comforts of lfe she resigned
to step from this life into the next, where she firmly
believed she should meet the friends gone before.
Deep is their sorrow, her family do not mourn for
her lost to them, believing that their separa-
ton is only for short time; their grief is mtgated
by the bright anticipations of a happy meeting with
her when they shall be called to pass from this life

NEW YORK. Aug

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.
Alderman Hadley, of London, President
of the new American, British and Canadian
Cable Company, sailed for England Tues
day on the steamship Gallo. His mission
to this country, which was to secure tele-
graphic connection through the United
States and Canada independent of the old
companies, lie says has been successful.
1--WE intend, upon my return to England, t.
make immediate arrangements for the COM
pletion of the system, and shall proceed by
laying cable from PenZance to Sable Isl
and, and from that point to Halifax. At
the latter place we shall be connected with
the entire Geographic system of the Domin-
ion of Canada, and by favorable arrange
ment just completed with the American
Postal Telegraph Company, we shall have
direct communication throughout the United
States. Our cable will be about 2,700 miles
long and more direct than any at present
existing. Eventually the company will have
a cable running to New York. The capital
stock is Sl,5O0,O00, and the greatest share
of it is already subscribed. The new cable
will be few hundred miles shorter than
the others, but it is our system of operation
that will enable us to transmit messages
rapidly, and at very cheap rates"
