NOTES AND COMM ENTS.

President Arthur is not likely to
feel discouraged on account of Dor
sey's caustic comments on him.
Lovers of the cup which cheers but
not inebriates should watch the
signs of the times in the tea market.
The dreadful accident toa train of
cars while crossing White river near
Indianapolis, was caused by the
bridge literally falling apart. The
threads on the supporting rods of the
bridge were worn so that the nuts
were loose, and when the weight of
the train put pressue on thesupports
the nuts slipped off and let the
bridge fall Ia pieces. This was an
instance in which life was hanging
on a thread for fact.
In justification of their course in
lynchIng the Cuddigans for having
murdered little Rose Matthews, the
people of Onray dug up the child's
body and sent it to Denver, where
for two days its frozen hands and
feet and CHASTITY wounds were expos
ed to the public gaze. Since then
the persons who condemned the
lynchers are silent. 1t was Il pecu-
liar method of influencing public
opinion, but it is a way they have in
the West.

The extent of the importation
of eggs from Germany may be
understood from the fact that one
day last week two steamers loaded
$4,000 dozens. They were, of
course, lined eggs, but many of
them have since been sold as
fresh eggs at so cents a dozen.
The Germans have the process of
lining more nearly perfect than
any other people. In this country
a bushel oflime is Stacked with
eight or nine pals of water; the
water is drawn off and the eggs
are packed in it. The lime water
closes the pores in the she'll and
excludes the air. The eggs will
then keep two or three years.
But the white of the egg gets
watery, and as lined eggs always
crack in boiling, the American pro-
duct cannot be cooked in that
way. The German process leaves
the white in a natural condition.
Another reason why the German
lined eggs are better than the
American is that they are
lined while fresh. The Americans
lime eggs only when they have
become stale and can no longer
be sold as fresh. 1t may be ad-
ded that the Importation of eggs
is growing so fast that there is
said to be a movement on foot to
secure duty on them. At pres.
ent the American hen is unprotec-
ted against the pauper hen of
Germany.

WENDELL PHILIPS died at his
home in Boston on Saturday
evening last, of disease of the
heart. He was one of the unique
men of this century No other
man of the anti-slavery struggle
aroused passion to such a pitch of
fury, for no other was such a
perfect master of invective. And
he spared no one He was an
anti slavery party by himself, and
at times assailed the other anti
slavery parties as fiercely as he
did the slave power itself He
was radicalism gone to seed
Of late years comparatively little
has been heard of him. The war
over and slavery dead, Phillips
mission was PLAINLY ended

THE MEETING LAST SAT.
URDAY.

The meeting at the Court house
last Saturday, called by the far
mers of the county, was largely
attended, showing the interest
manifested in the matter under
consideration. The resolutions
adopted will be found in another
column. The action of the Gov
ernor and Auditor, under the de
cision of the Supreme Court, de-
nying the power of the Legislature
to exempt from taxation any spe-
cies OF property not exempted in
the constitution, was fully and
freely discussed by Hon. G. J.
Faulkner, Rev. w. w. Downey,
w. S. Henshaw, Esq. and p. A.
Rohrbaugh, Esq 1t is right and
proper that the matter should be
discussed; that the Auditors in
structions to the Assessors should
be fully examined and looked into.
A candid, manly and intelligent
discussion of a public question,
either from the public rostrum or
through the public press, will al
ways result in a better understand
ing of the points involved, and is
sure to do good. No public Off
Ger ought to object to such a dis
cussion of his public acts. But
the general tenor of the speeches
made at this meeting, were intern
perate in language and lost much
of their force by assailing the Gov
ernor as ''usurper," instead OF
submitting arguments to show
that he was wrong in his position.
We are opposed to this tax up
on the farmers, because we be-
lieve it is in the nature of tax
on expenses of the farm instead of
on the profits. But we have no
doubt the Cover lor believes his
duty under his oath compels him
to issue these instructions to the
Assessors. This raises a question.
The proper way is to meet and ar
que it fairly; and appeal to the
Courts for decision in the matter
if that is found necessary.

THE ASSESSMENT CUES
TTON.

OF certain property exempted by
Sec. 43, Chap. IL, Acts of 1881.
In questions of this character,
sentiment must succumb to the
cold logic of the law. No man
can be superior thereto, nor can
class Legislation be sustained in
opposition to organic law. Gov,
Jackson is probably right in his
views, but in his executive capaci-
ty he errs in instructing officials to
disregard the plain statute. In
the case of the Chesapeake & 0.
r. r. Co. VS.. Auditor Miller, the
Court of Appeals decided that the
last clause of Sec 7, of act passed
March 1, 1866, which declares
that, "No taxation upon the prop
erty of the said company shall be
imposed by the State until the
profits of said company shall
amount to ten per cent. on the
capital of the company is uncon-
stitutional, and clearly prohibited
by Sec. /, Art. X of the constitu-
ton, which reads: Taxation shall
be equal and uniform throughout
the State, and all property, both
real and personal, shall be taxed
in proportion to it's value, y n
but property used for educational,
literary, scientific, religious or
charitable purposes all cemete-
ries and public property may by
law be exempted from taxation"
That was the sole question de-
| cided by the Court, although the
| construction of this article of the
constitution necessarily involved
a general discussion Of it's appli-
cation and meaning, and the prob
ability is, that the Court of APP
peals would decide as unconstitu-
tional that part of Sec. 43, Chap.
II, Acts of 1881, which exempts
agricultural productions grown
directly from the soil, and the
products and increase in number
of his stock produced within this
State during the year preceding
| the first day of January, and re-
naming unsold on that day, in the
| possession of the original owner
or his agent, the produce, during
the same time, of mines, salt wells
and oil wells within this State re
naming unsold in the hands of
the producer or his agent on the
first day of January, and all man
ufactured articles and products of
mechanical skill and labor produ-
ced in this State during the same
time, and remaining unsold on the
first day of January in the hands
of the producer or his agent
These exemptions do not come
under either of the exceptions in
the above clause of the constitu
ton. But admitting that, there is
no law, constitutional or legisla-
tive, that clothes the executive
with judicial functions to render
the exemptions imperative or to
legally declare them unconstitu
tional. They remain the law until
judicially declared a nullity by rsa-
son of conflict with organic law,
and any effort to disregard them
with or without color of authority
would be a usurpation of the iu-
dicial branch of government.
Governor jackson may properly
appreciate the decision of learned
judges on this subject, viz: eff
Legislation of this character can be
sustained, why may not the ex-
emption proceed until the whole
burden of taxation is cast on one
species ofproperty 2 but the Gov
ernor can neither make nor un-
make law, and he erred in endeav-
oring to lead Assessors to disre
gard existing law. No Assessor
