The New Assessment.

This 10 the year for a new assessm Mt.
says the Westminster Adcocate, and Attor-
ney- General Roberts, Comptroller Turner
and Tax Commissioner Wooford are en-
gagged in the preparation of an assessment
law No doubt the law will be carefully
drawn, and will be intended to equalize
the burdens of the people The prepare
ton of such a law is a difficult matter.
AS it will have to be Interpreted by those
not versed in the law, it should be so clear
and explicit as to be easily comprshendrd.
After the law is made as near perfection
as possible, the appointment of competent
assessors is the next important matter.
Great care should be exercised in their
selection. They should be men of excel
lent judgment with firmness and decision.
The law, We would suggest, should be SO
framed that the judgment of assessors be
final, and thus avoid the expense of a
Board of Control and Review, as in 1876.
The assessors in each county should be
required, after their appointment, and be-
fore they proceed to make assessment, to
meet in convention for the purpose of ar
irving at proper understanding Of the
law and agreeing upon a uniform rule OF
action. When the assessment is COM
pleted, the assessors Should again be re-
CURED to meet, and a general review of
their work made. After they have COM
pleted this, thar judgment should be
final.
The expense of such a system would not
be as great as the last one, and would BE
more fair and equitable. Those who do
the asse.sing-who see and value the pro-
perty-would be better judges than any
Board of Control and Review composed
Of three The latter could not know even
half the property i. the county, and would
have to rely upon the statements of own
ers, to large extent, when attachments
are asked. If the owners are to assess
their own property, they might as well do
it in the first place, and the county there
by saved the expense Of having assessors.
The per diem of assessors should be re-
duced to So day-the same per diem as
now paid County Commissieners-asd
the assessment shonld be required to be
made in shorter time-say four mon BIS.
If the trainers of the law should coincide
IN this view, and the Legislature coHfirm
it, the cost of making the assessment this
year would be but little more than half of
what it was in 1875.

1t Gov. Black ON the Irish Question.

1t Gov. Black on the Irish Question.
From his letter to the Pittsburg ParnelI meet
ing.
1t ought to be pleasure to any genuine
American to meet those sons OF Ireland who,
while serving their adopted country with de-
voted patriotism and gallantry, remember
ever the bitter sorrows of the old land, and
maintain the struggle for her liberation here
as they might have done at home. 1t Is a
splendid tribute to the noble character OF
these scattered children of the green isle the
world over, as well as TO the holiness of their
cause, descended from one generation to
another, that at last ali civilized mankind
stand with them and raise a common voice
against the hideous wrong, which incenses
all men because IL Is a wrong. Here, in
the most blessed OF all countries, there is let
us thank God, no longer difference of opin-
ion. Men OF all parties and OF all shades OF
religious belief crowd together to offer their
sympathies and their means TO strengthen
the steady parliamentary phalanx, under
Parnell, by whose invincibe constancy it
now appears the liberty of Ireland is at length
to be extorted from the better nature OF Eng
land. 1t would be strange, indeed, II any
man, born under our institutions could at
this supreme moment deny his sympathy to
Ireland. We, at least Whatever may be
thought elsewhere-hold that the right of
home rule, and of home trial, of home law
and OF home magistracy, is born with and in
man, as much as the right 10 drink from
the home fountain or to breath the home air.
Let Ireland remember the blood shed and
the heroic effort spent without avail in her
long and cruel struggle for domestic rights,
and let her now, without looking too mar
rowly into the details of the measure accept
from the awakened conscience of Great
Britain and from the hands of her enlightened
minister, any concession which the wise and
wary Parnell shall be willing to take. The
disruption OF the corrupt Union, an Irish
Parliament In Dublin An Ingenious brave
and steadfast people with these means in
their hands will ultimately attain all that
may be desirable.
Iremain, with great respect, your obedient
servant CHAUNCBY +. BLACK.

.'Dr. Mary +. Walker, whose commenda,

not exist in the United States to-day woman
of more indomitable pluck, or one who is
