The Assessment saI.

Some of the newspapers are in
ciincd 20 speak lightly of Attorney
General llCg9's course recently. We
warn them now, they will never drive
him from the path of duty by any
such II course. Col Hogg is exactly
right. The rich man and the large
landholder ought to be made to reu-
der their lands and property at the
same valuation rs men of small means.
And they will have to do so too, or
llogg w IL make ii hot for those coun-
ty aud district attorneys who refuse
to prosecute those who fail to comply
with the law. The man owning ten
thousand acres of land ought to be
made to give IL in ut the ssme rate as
the man who owns only ten acres of
the same kind of land.-W Wills Point
Chronicle.
We are warned. We agree that the
oyergrown landlords should be taxed
equally with smaller landholders
But the question is, Just where in the
statute books is the law to be found
that requires the taxpayer to swear
to the value of his property. Before
Attorney-General IIogg ever makes ii
hot for anybody but himself, he must
specify the chapter and the verse
as the saying goes. Taxpayers mus'
swear to the list of their property, to
facts that are peculiarly within theil
! knowledge; but value is matter o
opinion which assessors are electeC
! to put upon property and commits
sioners courts are created to equslize
This is the law and we lightly vslu,
the legal knowledge If any one whC
says it is not the law. Col. Hogg i

Lee and Grant.

Ernest Grasset, a Frenchman and author of La Guerra de Secession, thus contrasts Lee and Grant:
 Robert E. Lee possessed all the virtues of private life, all the qualities of a public man; he was in- fnltely superior to his adversary; hls troops were admirably handled. The patriotism, remarkable as 1t was, of the loyal States, was surpassed in the South. There, everybody took part in the common work; women, chil- dren, old people, all gave something some their blood, some their gold, others their labor. Notwithstanding this marvellous enthusiasm, which last ed four long years, this party sue cumbed. The vanquished General ap- preached in genius the great captains of the world; the conqueror did not exceed the average of men of talent. He that was the less endowed by na- ture triumphed. Sprung from the people, he has their good qualities and their defects patent courage; the implacabls resolution, the unpublished rudensss. Plebian by birth, by edu- cation, by manners, he is the synthesis of twenty millions of men gathered around the flag of the Unlou. Grant does not maneYre-hec conducts cru sade; he directs an invaslon. The tide rises, and everwhelms the defenders of Richmond. The man acts like a ram; he lowers his head and finds his skull so hard as not tO be broken by the shock.
 "'The Lieutenant General does not count his losses, they write Of him Tn May, 1864; he has not the tune to bury his dead. Here, in a couple of lines, IS a portrait to the life. The UnioniSt chief does not calculate; he is a hammer, always striking, re- doubling his blows, despite of blood, confagration, ruin. Not beng able to defeat his adversary, he destroys him by degrees, little each tune; despalr- ing of conquering Virginia, he syste- matically devastates it. I will fight on this hne it takes all summer he writes to the Secretary of War. And the President believes Tn him; the Sec retary of War approves eff him; the country blindly follows this general by whom, in single month, the army has been reduced by one-half There are,no criticisms on these encounters so terrible and SO useless; no ;one-oi -Grant's wishes meets opposition from any quarter. Lincoln, so orglnal, SC restless, will not allow himself to pass upon the campaign; he discerns final victory at the end of this bloody path.

The Kind of Wives Wanted.
lFrom the Atlanta Consultation,

Lexington, Ky, has a theological school, some of the students of which have provoked a great deal of criti- clsn for attending the theatre and by publishing in their college paper the following racy description of the kind of girls they want for wives: "The buxom, brigbt-eyed, rosy-cheeked, full breasted, bouncing lass, who can darn a stocking, mend trousers, make her own frocks, command a regiment of pots and kettles, feed the pigs, chop wood, milk cows, wrestle with the boys, and be g lady #1thal in compa- ny is just the sort of girl for me, and for any worthy man to marry. But you, ye pining, mOping, lolling, Screwed-up, wasp-waisted, putty-faced, cOnsumptlve, mOrtgaged, music-mur- der1ng, novel-devouring daughters Of fashion and idleness; you are no more fit for matrlmony than bullet is to look after family of fourteen chick sns. The truth is, my dear girls, you want more liberty and less fashiona- ble restraints, more kitchen and less parlor, more leg exercise and less plano, more frankness and less mock medesty, more breakfast and less bus tie. Loose yourselves little, enjoy more liberty and less restraint by fashion, breath the pure atmosphere of freedom, and become something as lovely and beautiful as the God of na- ture designed"
