the crookede,t ST. cam in The world.
Persons who have given the subject

Now ali these ooks and bends are

The Humboldt is now large river,
and as there is no outlet for the larc, c
volume OF water which it discharme
into the lake, that must necessarily be
very high. '

A Runaway.

On Sunday George Deyo and Billy
Aiken took a drive to the Mount Cory
mill and met with an accident which
made them wish that the Grand Jury
had held a Sunday session, as then
duty would have saved them a broken
buggy and several cutaneous abrasions.
As they were passing the mill door
suddenly opened and the horses took
fright, throwing the buggy over and
spilling the occupants. No serious
damage was sustained, and the two
gentlemen would feel comfortable
over their escape had the tollkeeper
not collected toll for tbe runaway,
which they thought was adding insult
10 injury, especially as they bad cal
culated upon stopping this side of The

THE ASSESSMENT ORDER
To he EiitJr of he REGISTER.

10 cue ELtlW ~ tit Rt.iNttT,
1t cannot be denied that the Supreme
Court of Appeals, in the case of the
Chesapeake II Ohio Railroad Company
against Miller, Auditor 10 w. Va. 40S)
did not construe or attempt to construe
the meaning or effect of the act of the
Legislature, under which the railroad
company claimed exemption from tax
alton, out that it did consider, con-
strue aud settle the meaning of section
l., article S, of the Constitution of 1868.
Taxation shall be equal and uniform
throughout the state, and all property,
both real and personal, shall be taxed
in proportion to its value; to be sscer-
tanned as directed by law. No one spe-
cies of property from which tax may
be collected shall be taxed higher than
any other species of property of equal
value; but property used for educS-
tional, literary, scientific, religious or
charitable purposes may by law be ex-
empt from taxation"
In constituting that clause, the Court
practically settled the meaning of the
clause in our present constitution,
which so far as this discussion is con-
eerned is in the very same language.
The Interpretation given by the Court
IN that case to that clause is undeniAbly
The law of this State now.
That Court practically held that all
property should Oe taxed except prop
erty used for educational, literary, sci
entific or charitable purposes, cemete-
ries and public property might be ex,
empted by the Legislature from taxa
tom.
It then follows that the constitution,
as thus interpreted, directs that al
property Except as aforesaid) shall be
'sxed in proportion TO its value. BIT
is said that the constitution, though ii
so positively directs, also uses the Ian
guage Ito be ascertsined as directed by
law" and the question is asked, what
then do these words mean? The au
swer is plain. The people, by their
constitution, have said to the Legisls.
ture, all property must be taxed in
proportion to its value Except as afOre
said, and we further, by this constitu
ton, direct that proper laws be passed
to ascertain and find out that property
and its value aud list il for taxation.
These words ito be ascertained as di.

MULLIGAN's GHOST.

The New York Sun points out that il
BLAINE is nominated at Chicago the
ghost of MULIIGAN will speedily lay
him low.
This is important, because it shows
the marvellous vitality of MULLIGAN'S
ghost.
For eight years poor BLAINE has
been trying to lay that dread spectre,
but it has always got the best of him.
Even now, after playing 'possum
upon the ghost for nearly three years,
it is up and at him the very moment
he dares to look toward the White
House.
Twice that dreadful ghost of NULL.
GAN has beaten BLAINE in a Repub-
lican convention the first time at Gin
cinnati in 1876 and again at Chicago in
1850.

should be nominated the same old
ghost will lay him low.

rected by law" cannot mean Is IL seems
was at least suggested at the Martins
burg meeting, that the Legislature Is to
ascertain the kind OF property to be
taxed, to select the class or classes OF
property for taxation; for 1t is obvious
that such q meaning given to these
words could not be inconsistent with
the preceding words In the constitution,
but would be utterly at war with the
decision of the Court, which says, that
all property must be taxed.
Then all property must be taxed lex
cept as aforesaid) and the Legislature
must provide by law how 1t shall be as.
certained, found out, valued, and placed
upon the assessors books.
Is not this clearly the law Of our State
as It stands to-day, the law which the
Executive solemnly called his God to
witness that he would faithfully exc
cute.
But let US look q little further. Turn
ing to the acts of the Legislature of 1881
We find the present law upon the sub
jet of assessment of taxes" 1t is
chapter II, acts 1881.
The 4lst section Of that chapter re-
quires that every person of full age and
sound mind shall list for taxation the
property belonging to him. What
property then has the Legislature re-
quired every such person to list? We
ask what property does the law Ia law
consistent with the Interpretation given
bs the Court to the Constitution pro-
vide for the taxation of? Can there be
doubt? Is IL not all to be tIred! We
also find by turning to said chapter II,
acts 1881, section 80, that the Legisla.
ture has said to the assessor, "You shall
begin annually on the first day Of jan
uary and proceed without delay to as
certain all the persons and property,
real and personal on that day, subject
to taxation.n Now, what is the as.
SCISSOR to ascertain? Why, all property
subject to taxation. What property is
that? Why, the Constitution says ALL
the property in his district.
The Governor, who is sworn to sup
port the Constitution and to see that
those laws referred to are faithfully ex-
ecuted, attempts to do so when the cry
is raised-stOp, you are wrong! Why?
because the same Legislature has at
tempted to exempt from taxation GER
tain agricultural products and other
property. He turns to section 43 of
said chapter and finds that the Legisla-
ture mas so said.
Now what is to be done? The Con-
stitution says that all property must be
taxed by section 80, chapter II, acts
1881. The Legislature has directed the
assessor to ascertain it oil, aud by Sec
ton Al the citizen is required to list
IL all.
But section As provided that some of
it may not be listed, the assessor shall
not ascertain some Of it. What is the
Governor to do? Is he to see faithfully
executed the Constitution and the said
39th and list sections made pursuant to
and consistent it or is he to see
that the 43d section is alone obeyed?
Let the honest conscience answer.

The Democrats Of Ohio promised to
pass, il they got the power to do so, a
guarded liquor law in place of the
SCOTT high license law, and at caucus
Ofthe Democratic members of the Leg
islature it was agreed to pass such a
bill. The taxes agreed upon are q fol-
lows: For sales of $1,000 or under, SIS;
for sales from 700 to $1,000, 800 tax;
5000 to $1,000, $50 tax; from 5000 to
5000, 500 tax, and over $1,000, $3.50
tax. A few of the Democrats did not
like the new schedule, and the Repub-
lican papers, of course, desire and freely
predict that no graded tax bill will be
passed. AS in all liquor legislation
there is great diversity of opinion and
much confusion.
The other sections of the bill are not
Important. The first section requires
each retail dealer to keep a correct
record of sales and prices charged. The
assessors are to return the gross sum re-
ceived at each bar, whether the sales
were for cash, barter or Oh time, but
excluding sales on prescription or for
mechanical, pharmaceutical or saera-
mental purposes. No account is to be
taken of sales Of ale, beer or wine at a
picnic or festival conducted by society
for benevolent purposes. All assess
ments are to be in lien upon the real
property in which the business is to be
conducted. Persons selling less than
three gallons at the same time are to
be considered retail dealers. All sales
on Sunday are to be unlawful, except
in cases where the council Of city or

HON. EUsrAcE GIBSON.

This gentleman arrived In the city
yesterday, and Is stopping at the Nc
Lure House. He says he has been
working very hard, and just run out for
little rest and recreation-expeeting
to return to Washington this evening.
In conversation with Mr.. GIBSON the
abuses In the United States MarshsPs Of
fee were naturally referred to. He said:
"YoH would be astonished at the mass
Of information bearing upon this subject
which has been sent me. Governor
PIERPoNT is not by any means the
only prominent Republican who stands
ready to expose the misdolngs of Mr..
ATKINSON. This investigation will be
no by-plsy, but it will be prosecuted
with energy, vigor and effe It. No one
knows better than ATKINSON himself
that this exposure will be a complete
success"
Mr.. GIBSoN's account of what he will
be able to prove in this case, but which
he is not yet ready to make public, is
interesting and startling. That q
shamelully disgraceful condition of
a fairs exists in the Marshaps Office is
very clear, and that this fact will be
made entirely clear to the public there
is no doubt. In referring to the work
ings of the internal revenue system, the
New York Sun said:
"There is q standing army of four
thousand partisans, drilled like regular
troops, and trained in machine politics.
Their political services furnish immu-
nifty for crimes that, with proper ad-
ministration of justice, would long ago
have sent many of them to the peui-
tentiary."
