A GENEROUS AcT.-It is stated on good Ru-
thority that on the Sunday before the Grant d
Ward failure Gen. Grant went 10 VIM H Van
derbilt and asked him to loan him $3.50. 900,
which, he said, was to help the firm of Grant
Ward tide over the Affairs of the Marine
bank, which needed little aid. Mr. Wander
bilt loaned the money TO Gen Grant, and on
the Tuesday following both the Marine bank
and the firm Of Grant 4 Ward failed On
Wednesday Mr.. Vanderbilt had an interview
with Gen. Grant, and asked him to explain
the affair The General had little TO say He
had been asked to borrow the money for the
hrm and did il in good faith. The failure was
as much surprise to him as to any one and
he felt his position keenly. he said he would
make ell the PREPARATION possible and he assign
ed all his property TO Mr.. Vanderbilt, Mrs
Grant including her Newport property Two
hours before Mr.. Vanderbilt sailed Tor Eu-
rope he sent for Gen. Grant handed him ell
the deeds that had beenl assigned TO him, and
told the General that he had no use for them.
He also told him TO pay him the $3.50, 900
when he got good and ready, hoped the Gen
erRl would come out Of his difficulties, and
bade him a cordial gOod-by.

The report of the Utah commission con-
tains some important recommendation
First, 1t asks Congress 10 restore the right Of
dover, which was long since taken away from
Mormon women by Mormon legislation The
right is, says the Salt Lake Tribune, incom-
patible with polygamy, and it is easy to see
why 1t was taken away. II it were restored,
and Its bestowal enforced, it would prove a Sc
rious blow TO the great evil Secondly, the
commissioners recommend that the depart
ment OF justice be allowed a fund to be used
IN the detection and punishment of violations
OF the laws against polygamy. Convictions
IN this class OF cases are very rare, because
the necessary evidence is almost impossible
70 obtain, and the expense incident 10 procur-
ing It is not provided for by any law of Con
gress. Thirdly, it is proposed, since all the
justices Of the peace In Utah are Mormons,
that concurrent Jurisdiction be conferred up
on United state1 commissioners in both civil
and criminal cases Fourthly, certain offices
territorial and county, which are now elective
are proposed to be made sppointive This
measure, If carried out, would give the Gov
ernor, who would presumably be the appoint
ing officer, much more power than he nov
Possesses, and would enable him 10 break up
the Mormon political supremacy in the terri
tory as efficiently as any single measure that
might be proposed.

basis Of taxation. This is IN part accounted
for by an increase OF Sl2. iGG in the amount

Li.ter.' valuation OF Bank stock.

This weeks Argus devotes considerable
space to criticism of the listers in the various
towns for their differentiation, as it terms il,
of bank shares. After quoting decision of
the United States Supreme Court, reported in
the 94th volume of Z. S. Reports, where it
was decided that the true way to fix the taxa
BILE value of national bank shares was to add
the surplus to the capital, deduct therefrom
the valne Of real estate owned by the bank, if
any, and divide the remainder by the mum
Der Of shares, which would determine the
real value of each, the article goes on to
comment on 'the unlawful misconduct of the
listers" in appraising the stock Of the differ
ent banks within the state below its real value
and concluding that 81, 900, 900 are taken from
the taxable property of the state by such
false valuations. 1t says that 'the listers of
Brattleboro have appraised each share of the
Vermont national bank at S66, when its real
value is Sl04, and the Peoples national at
500, real value Sl22
We have not looked over the different re-
ports sufficiently TO point out all of the mis-
takes in HirRm's Cor OviRtt' 81 conclusions, but
If he is as inaccurate in all as he appears to
be in figuring Brattleboros bank valuation.
we Rpprehend he will find it extremely diff
cult to maintain his charges before grand
jury, as he intimRtes Take, for instance, the
old bank stock here, which the Argus claims
should be appraised at SlO4; apply the Argus's
method of figuring, and the stock then is
only worth $685. on q share, and that of the
Peoples $780,
We understand that our listers, in getting
at the value of these shares, took into con-
sideration the fact that portion, at least, of
the surplus of these banks was invested in
United States bonds and, though possibly
there may be question whether this be the
correct way of determining the real value,
nevertheless our listers are mRnifestly nearer
the actual money value Of these shares than
is the Argus.
