TnE opinion OF Attorney General Watts
on the eOualizing powers Of the Board OF
Eaualization informs that body that 1t can
equalizs valuation but not increase the
assessment. When the returns Of the
Assessors shall have been footed up the
Board cannot go beyond the footing. The
Board may adjust the gross amount Of one
hundred and seventeen millions, but It
cannot increase it 10 one hundred and fifty
millions or any other amount. It must
not be inferred that the Attorney General
has incurred the undying enmity Of the
Board on account Of the opinion. On
the contrary, the Attorney General,
taking his cue from the Democratic lawyers
who went before the Board, blazed the way
and built corduroy road Tor the Board 80
that it might get out Of tight place with
neainess and dispatch. There was trouble
in the party over this Equalization"
which made people ritch who hadn't sus'
pected it, and the party managers feared
that the atTront might be resented at the
polls They were glad enough tog get out
ola bad box. Shrewder men would have
kept out Of it. Bat the old trouble re-
mains-the State is in debt contrary to
laS, appropriations are to be met,
the increase Of five cents in the tax
rate ia known to be insufficient,
and now this latest device to increase the
basis Of taxation has fallen q fiat failure.
II required a valuation thirty.three mil:
lions greater than the Assessors made it,
what will the State administration do to
make ends meet? 1t cannot go on lodging
and borrowing forever.

that he located any lands on the zuni

STRIKER KILLED.

ST. LOUIS, May 29.-The man killed at
Reineke at 0oclock last evening has bee n
identified as Fred Hoirmeister, a glass
blower from Pittsburgh. He had been at
Belleviletwo weeks. The giassblowers Of
Belleville are on a strike, and some OF them
were with the striking miners yesterday,
which accounts for Hoilmeister's presence
at the Reineke mine, The papers this
morning publish "a lengthy account OF
the affair at the Roschill, Reineke and
Morrisa mines yesterday, but they contain
no material facts not reported
in these dispatches The Edwardsyille
militia remain at Reineke mine, but the
Virder and raylorville companies have re-
turned home. There seems 10 be no doubt
that Deputy Sheriff Anthony ordered the
troops to fire on the mob but not until
several pistol shots had been fred by the
strikers. Two Of them were aimed directly
at Anthony and General Reese, who were
standing by the side OF the train consulting
as to what should be done. Greatly exag-
gerated stories OF the affair were circulated
in Belleville last night, and no doubt many
OF them were cent over the country giving
a wrong impression Of the magnitude Of
the trouble. ~. ft st.IN.

A Peaceful State OF Affairs al the Mines

ST, LOUIS, May 29.-An Associated Pres
special from Belleville, 1ll,, says: Every
thing is quiet here this morning. The in
quest on the dead striker began at y
o'clock. The Reineke mine, where last
evenings unfortunate affair occurred, is
working this morning under the protection
Of the militia. This is q machine mine,
and does not employ regular miners, and
was working yesterday under an agreement
made with the miners some days ago. II
any further trouble occurs 1t will se at the
mines some distance from here, which, at
this writing, have not been heard from.
The Sheriff reports all quiet at the pits in
this immediate vicinity. The streets Of
this city are crowded with miners and
citizens discussing the events Of yesterday.
The firing by the militia Is not generally
viewed in favorable light. ~,

CSctSSArI, May 29.-The end Of the
shoemaker lockout does not affect the
lockout OF the bootmakers, whose case
stands on different ground. The boot
makers in six Of the ten factories here were
locked out because, as they say, they refuse
to agree to submit the question Of wages b q
Board Of Arbitration. They assert that the
manufacturers desire in that way to compel
reduction Of wages. They have adopted
a rule prohibiting the members Of their
assemblies from working extra hours at
night. The same rule, tits said, has been
adopted by all the shoemaker assemblies.

MANSFIELD, Pa, May 29-The story ol

Myatt is well and iavorably known. he

q high character for steady and industrious

WARRINGTON, d. g., May 29:--=AS most
remarkable conpromiSe L has lately been
affected by which the Government has
given up $4,000 Of It's own money, being p
portion Of $4,000 stolen from the cashiers
rooms Of the Treasury here. Some time
after the theft, which occurred from among
the packages whichsEere being made up
for transportation to banks, ) Washington
gambler, aiclerki in thetTfeaSury. named
Halleck, and liquor seller named ottman,
were arrested Halleck was indicted,
convicted and sentenced to impris.
onment. Subsequently, new trial
was granted. but Hallsck was
discharged before the second trial, lie
testifying in the criminal suit against 0tt.
man, who was indicted and twice tried for
the larceny oi $47, ,097 65, and for the re-
ceiving OF the same, knowing 1t TO have
been stolen. On both trials the ijnty dis
agreed. The last trial was in 1877, after
which time no further proceedings we're
had. In the civil suit against Ottman for
the recovery OF the stolen money an at
tachment was isesed against his property
and judgment executed, the returns thereof
being paid into the Court in May, 1877,
after which nothing further was done until
June last. .,. Il 49,.
N ~ i-orrAAS'slAssSr4s.L Il
After the arrest Of ottman and the others,
various sums Of money were taken from
them. ottman had made a special deposit
Of sl4,5OO in $500 notes IN an Alexandria
bank, aud this was found intact, being no
doubt apartot the original stolen package.
This, with other sums taken from the per-
son Of 0nman, Brown and Halleck, made
a total Of sla,525, which was turned over
TO the.Treasufero Of the United States for
safe keeping, pending, other proceedings
Besides this sum 1t appears there were al
tached another bank deposit made BY
0ttman, amounting to.sl0. 900, and, certain
bank stock and railway shares, the esti.
mated value Of which was g 000, making q
grand total Of sSl ,525. In the itatement of
ex-Treasurer Spinner II is observed that
nearly enough money and property were
secured and attached TO make good the
loss by the robbery; that the money recoy-
cred was q portion of the Identical money
stolen by Halleck, and by him turned over
could be no doubt that with q proper hear:
ing and nihonest july tho result, would
be the restoration to the Treasury OF money
clearly It's own property, and the punish
ment Of the receiver Of the stolen money.

Malone, Dezendorf, aud the Resuit,of'
the Recent Elections.


the Recent EiectionB.
WARRINGTON, May 29.-It is possible
that the recenteleetions in Virginia may
in some degree effect the relations which
have existed betw cen Senator Malone and
the administration. The former has con.
trolled the Federal patronage Of the State
absolutely, and the adverse criticisms Of
the Northern press upon the system Of re-
wards and punishment adopted by the
Virginia Senator have shaken the Presi.
dent 'scontidence in the wisdom Of turning
oyer to him the Virginia offices. The recent
elections seem to prove that with all his
resources and his wonderful organization
he has been unable to prevent serious
disaffection in theranks OF the Readjusters.
It Ia belived here that the heavy
falling of IN the !, Reaajuster, vote
Is mainly due to the fact that faith.
ful henchmsn OF Nahonei have ! not re
ceived the official rewards they expected.
The Senator, however, cannot be blamed,
because there are not enough offices TO go
around. The readjusters attribute their
setback TO the circumstance that the
negroes, at this busy season OF the year,
were unable to leave the farms to vote.
The returns thus far received, although not
complete, cover. all sections Of 1.-THE State,
and show that In several OF the Read juster
strongholds the party has been beaten. In
the southwestern'seclion where Mahone's
white followers have Heretofore given him
|lafge msjorities, he has lost such leading
counties as. Washington, Montgomery and
Pulaski. In the tidewater counties serious
reyerses have been. met, and in Norfolk
county, where Malone, has hitherto been
strongly supported, he 10 defeated. Dtzen-
doris scalp, however, hangs at his bell, but
his defeat was due to the fact that the vote
was divided between three candidates. =
