THE joint resolutions to amend the Con-
stitutOn so that certain classes of property
may be exempt from taxation are coming
IN fast and furious. A two hours session
yesterday set two resolutions loose in the
House while in the Senate the very first
routine business that transpired was a simi-
lar resolution. The Senator, Mr.. MoERIs,
who presented it mlst have prepared it as
home and brought it up to Wheeling in his
gHDssck ready to FIRE Just as soon as that
body organized. II asybOdy is to ride on
the crest Of a popular wave for being first to
offer = joint resolution on this important
subject, then that body is Senator NORRIS.
The best amendment offered 50 taris Dele
gate STAPLEroSs resolution which proposes
to exempt the farmers stock for the year in
which it is born, cereals and agricultural
products raised within the tax year and sll
household furniture under Fifty dollars.
The REGISTER opines that all these eS-
emPtiOns are going 70 eOmPhcate legislation
unless they are made uniform and to bear
On all classes of citizens alike. Ifa law
could prevail that would reach all the in
visible property, there is no doubt but the
present levy would be more than sufficient
for all State purposes, and possibly By
changing the time Of listing property from
January to April lst, so as to return the
agricultural interests, An amendment to the
constitution might be unnecessary.

EXCITEMENT AT FEVER HEAT.
A Great Body of Hooking Strikers Ready
for q Leader.

A Great Body of Hooking Strikers Ready
for Leader.
CoLUNB-s, o., January 1.-The excite
ment in the Hooking Valley contin-
ues at fever heat, and an outbreak is ex-
pected at almost any time, although 1t
is thought that the fact of the militia
being in readiness to move, will have
good effect upon the strikers. The stock Of
guns purchased by 0'Donnell we're imme-
diately disposed of, and more have been Or
dered.. It is probable no trouble will oc-
cur until the new Superintendent arrives.
The Troy mine is still burning, and the
Bristol tunnel is entirely destroyed.
As most of the miners now
working are experienced men, there
is no danger Of their destroying any OF
the mines, but recent occurrences satisfy
the officials of the Hooking Coal Company
that the great trouble is feared by all
mines being ruined by incendiary fires by q
portion of the strikers. Mine Inspector
Bancroft says that he did not expect to find
so many men in the locality Of New Straits
vile who encouraged the execution of un-
lawful measures to advance the cause
of the idle miners. he thinks it difficult to
tell the number ofmen ready to join in any
unlawful movement after it is started.
Should any disturbance take place he has in:
formed the miners that the State militia Will
be sent there within - hours IN sufficient
force TO quell all the rioters. 1t is the
plan of the miners to make the attack
when least expected, and the Syndicate
have reinforced their guards in order to
be prepared for any emergency. Assistant
Adiutant Dill is in the valley to-day max
ing a visit through the mines in order to
obtain exact information concerning the
situation. Up to nooE no further trouble
has'been reported.

DELEGATE McCLrNG's joint resolution,

optional with the Legislature whether or
not certain classes of property shall be ex-
empt appears at first blush as if such q law
you'd cause endless confusion. Ii would
not be at al surprising TO see one Legisls-
sare exemptng a certain line Of personal
property, which might prove mischieyous or
unsatisfactory, and the very next lot Of law
makers would undo their predecessors
work and determine for themselves what
shall be taxed. One Of the results Of this
document then would be that neither the
iarmer nor any one else would know from
,ne year to another what was exempt and
shat he had to pay taxes on.
