Ir appears that in the statistical statemen

lT appears that in the statistical statement
given of the deaths in the United States
army during the late war there were some
inaccuracies, chiefly with regard to the par
ticipation therein Of tho colored troops. 1t is
declared untrue that forty per cent OF the
colored troops perished. Instead of 0l,7S9
colored troops, there were ls607, or more
than twice the number supposed, which en-
braced only those that were organized sepa-
rately, and to the exclusion of those that
were procured as substitutes and were mus
tered into service as parts of the quotas of
certain states The negroes in the ranks
died much faster than the whites but not
in the astounding ratio that has been pub
lished. The colored man and brother, if he
has no chance for political favor from the
party for which he turns the tide in close
elections, should not be misrepresented in
history. Give HIM his full share OF credit in
the work of suppressing the rebellion.

/" money lent to municipal, railroad, and
other corporations, and converted by them
into improvements fixed TO the land, is also
called personal property, and so are shares
of capital stock, every dollar Of which is
represented by real estate, and by nothing
else" In this state the corporations are
taxed upon their stock and bonds, and the
holders thereof pay no tax; nor does the
general real estateof the companies. The
complaint here is that the corporation
state tax is not nearly so great upon the
owners of this class of real property rs are
the combined local taxes upon private
property owners.
The perfection of a tax law would be
an even levy upon the actual value of all
property, none escaping tax nor being
taxed in more than one form. But while

erty are elusive of the assessor, there vii

LANCASTER. JULY IA. 1856.
Slow Work.

Objection is made to the numerous vol
umes of census reports which are being
published as the results of the last federal
tributed, the work being on u scale of far
greater magnitude than was ever before
undertaken and as many more are an
nounced in course of preparation, SO that il
will likely be time to begin another de-
cennial census before the publication of
the results of the last has been completed.
The collection of information on this
scale about the country and its rcsour-
ces, the people and their character
istics, is by no mems profitless
work. If it is accurately and reliably done
which it often is not-it is of great value,
and the published results of it should be in
every public library, at least and accessible
to the people. The fault and just ground for
complaint lie in the tardy publication of
these volumes of reports. Our census TAX
ing itself is very clumsily done. 1t drags
over months Of time, which delay in itself
impeaches the accuracy of it. With CON-
plete and properly prepared blanks, and
through instruction of the people in advance,
the census ought to he taken in a week. In
England we believe this is the plan. The
tables and compilations ought then to be
made entire during the census year, aud
the results published not later than the fol
lowing year. There is no good reason why
with proper order, the condition of the
country in every aspect, during 1850, should
not be fully published before the close OF
1881. Enough willing hands, at less cos,
than is now incurred, could easily be pro
cured to dispatch the work in twelve
Congress should, at the next session, Sc
about a way of taking the 1890 census il,
fortnight, and of printing its results within
year after they have beeRasesrtained.
The same complaint holds good of othe
government wo*k. PIblic buildings, 70
example, cost much more than they ough
because of the delays and Interruptions +
which their construction is subject. The
are seldom begun with an appropriation
much greater than is expected to buy th
site and lay the foundation walls; and the
begins the expense of architectural alters
tion, suspension and resumption of worl
! the struggle for appropriations and the Ion
syaitsfoy completion that make nearly a
tN government buildings cost far NOR
thar corresponding private structure
would be built for. The better polio
would be, when public building
ordered, to determine its proper cost, ez
tend the appropriation to that figure, fl
the contract and the time for its compile
tion and allow no subsequent changes.

Taxing Personal Property.

The New York Sm makes the point
that much of the outcry against the eva
sion of taxation by personal property is
based on ignorance or oroversight of the fact
that vast deal of what passes for personal
property is not such in strict sense, but
only represents realty and that when the
real estate, which is its basis, is actually
taxed the securities issued ON this property
are in fact taxed.
This is true. If the owner in fee of a
property worth 10000 has paid but slO,-
600 on it, and there is mortgage or judg-
mens against it for the other $4,000, the
owner Of the realty in paying tax ON $50 GOO
pays all the tax that is based on actual
value and if the mortgaGee pays tax, too,
on his mortgage, it is an instance of 100000
ofactual property being taxed upon $4,000
Of valuation. While nobody can dispute
the fairness of the tax on the mortgage, it
is question whether the tax on the real
estate should not be abated by the sane
amount.
II is likewise true, as the Sm, says, that

NEW HAMPSHIRE people are beginning
to awaken to the enormity of the fact that
in their state the proportion Of divorces to
marriages is one for every seven and three
fourths, which ratio is said to be the worst in
New England. The Congregationalists,
Baptists and Episcopalians join in asking
the legislature To reform the divorce laws.
They ask /" that all DEGREES of divorce in tho
first instance be granted nisi, to become
absolute after the expiration of a fixed time,
say six months, unless the court shall for
sufficient cause otherwise order !" and
that after a divorce from the bonds OF
matrimony, the party against whom the
divorce was granted shall not marry within
| a fixed time, say two years from the final
| proper steps TO check this great evil. The
| first will give the court chance TO guard
| against imposition by putting the divorce
| applicant ON a quasi probation, while at the
same time the restriction on immediate
| matrimonial action will block that class oi
step ut once into the late husbands shoes.
| The second restriction, that of not permitting
| marriage for two years after divorce granted
does not go Ear enough. 1t should be for lit'
so far as the guilty party Is concerned. Blu
one cannot expect too much from New
Hampshire, and, all things considered, i
must be applauded for the decisive stand
has taken III trying to put down thi
legalized polygamy.

THE report of railroad earnings for June
is the worst yet given out, the total being
ga, ,920, ,009 a decrease OF S793,O2l. The r >ads
north of Chicago suffered less than those
farther south. The Northern Pacific has lost
2sl% per cent in four months but its earn
ings were very large in the spring of last
year. No road except the Northern Pacific
has gained as much AZ IL per cent, while the
St Louis & San Francisco loses 10 and the
Chicago Il Alton l2i5. Yhe great North
western roads show little change from last
year, which was u disastrous one 10 them.
The Chicago, Huntington * Quincy has done
better than any of the large roads. This
monthly estimate of the railroads is given by
the railroads themselves to the New York
Financial Chronicle and they are presuma-
bly, correct. 1t is possible that the situation
of some of the lines is worse than repre-
sented. Judged from these statements ii
seems clear that this country has sufiicicncy
of railroads to last without increase for
several years to come.

OUR esteemed local contemporary, the
Examiner, with that lofty atfectation of SUI
perior "knowledge of facts" which so often
makes it ridiculous, tries to explain that be-
cause Henry George says the "tramp comes
with the locomotive" and extremes of social
condition accompany each other, necessarily
with the greater degree of poverty comes
more vice. This is just what we dispute. 1t
is true that concentration of wealth in the
hands of few causes greater prevalence of
poverty among the many, but it is not true
that the richer are the more virtuous, nor that
the poorer are more vicious. In order TO prove
that in the train of pOUerty follow "pauper-
ism, prostitution and crime" the Erdminer
quotes from Prof. Sumner, who says in his
essay on Sociology, that ''pauperism, prosti-
tuition and crime are the attendants on state
of society i'm which science, art and litera-
ture, reach their highest developments"
Tomorrow we may expect to find the
Examiner arguing that science, art and
literature breed pauperism, prostitution and
crime. Verify, the last state OF this man is
worse than the first
