Bourbon F1nanciering.

A communication in the National Re-
publican, dated Richmond, Va Oct. II,
says
When the tax payers of the State gem
orally understand that the reassessment
of lands and personal property during the
summer resulted in an increase of over
$4,000, 600, they will begin to inquire why
such is the case. So far as the actual
money value of the property in the State
is concerned, it may be safely said that it
cannot be disposed OF as advantageously
to-day as last year, and naturally, then,
the reason of this increase of taxable
values will be closely examined into, even
if the property holder has to go into the
courts, which some have already done in
this city, for an abatement. 1t has long
been charged that the Democratic party
was determined to raise taxes, and it is
now shown that the charge was only too
true, and this step of theirs has had an
effect on the present canvass against the
party responsible for it. which has greatly
strengthened the hands OF the Republi-
cans, who do indeed oppose any increase
of the public burdens.
During the session of the late Demo
cratic convention here one Of the prom
nent leaders gave his party away as re-
CARDS their purpose to raise money for the
treasury almost depletedl by this great
increase of assessments, but as the audi
tor of public accounts has made no report
for two years of the condition Of affairs
of the State, no positive charge, based on
actual returns, could be made until within
the last fortnight. but from now until the
Sd of November the people of the State
will be fully informed of the Bourbon
method of deceiving them by claiming to
favor low taxes while they increase assess
ments. This double dealing will defeat
them, and the people may yet escape a.
general gouging from the collectors.
It's further said here that the taxes for
1886 will be based on the new assessment,
although that would be entirely contrary
to law.
There seems to be the greatest confu-
sion as to what the Bourbons can aud will
do in the management of the finances of
the State, and the people are generally
fully of the opinion that the Old Domin-
ion is not in that condition in which the
Republicans left IT two years ago.

Tie shipments Of fruit from California
to the East during the month of August
aggregated 1885 car loads. Calculating
10000 pounds, this makes S6,000.000
pounds of green fruit for 1885, as against
$4,000, 900 pounds for the year 1884. The
rate by passenger train for green fruit is
5000 per carload, aud by freight train $500.

It is understood that as soon as Congress
meets the Postmaster General will be

nation, is said to have been already pre-

The stanton V5ndicotor and Petersburg

The Staunton V0adicotor and Petersburg
Iadee-Appeal, two of the ablest Demo-
cratic papers in the State, frequently
warned the Democrats before the last
Presidential election and afterwards, if
they did not pass the Blair Educational
Bill, they would be held responsible for
the failure. But the warning was not
needed. Witha Democratic majority of
n in the House the Bill was permitted to
sleep the sleep of death, althongha Re-
publican Senate had passed and sent it to
the House three months before the close
Of the first session Of the 4Sth Congress.

become a law. Has there ever been such

Last Resort.

The colored vote is to be the last refuge
of the lesponding Bourbons. Their only
hope Of escape, how, from an oyerwheIm-
ng defeat. is d gain, by one means or an
other, voters from the colored people. In
every portion of the State, information
reaches us that extraordinary efforts are
being made tosednee eooredmen from their
allegiance to the Republican party and
tomake common cause withthe Bourbons.
II was 70 give q show of success in that
direction that the so-called convention of
colored people was held in Lynchburg last
week. Inevery county appeals are being
made to the colored people to vote the
Democratic ticket, alleging that the ebest
people" are the best friends of the colored
man, and that as he is employed by them
he should follow them in their political
wanderings. But the negro has sense
enough to know that he is not employed
because he is a negro, but because his SER
vices are required, and that he only gets
pay for what work he performs. The
work is given and the payrecived, and that
ought to square the account, as it gener-
ally does in all transactions of this kind
between man and man. To predicate a
political claim upon such premises is the
yeriest nonsense. If the negro wants to
vote the Bourbon ticket let him do so
without hindrance, but do not seek to
force him into SO doing by threat, coercion
or bribery.
1t is currently rumored that an effort is
| to be made, peculiar to Bourbon methods,
to poll coed Democratic colored vote in
| this city. If it is the wish of the colored
voter to cast Democratic vote it should
be nobody's business but his own. But if
any illegal means are used to accomplish
that end, it does not require statement
here to give assurance that it will be pub
licly exposed. We must have the fair
thing in this election, and we feel very
sure that any attempt to depart from the
right rule will work disaster to those who
may instigate it, and bring about differ
ent result from that designed.
