nn,nn OLE EorALIzATION.

Thcre can be little doubt that so far as the
result Of the reassessment in the STATE NJ
large is known, it has, in many respects
given occasion to considerable surprise
That the value of property should have de-
cIiued 10 snch marked degree IN certain
counties. VIII at the very worst, there
was apparently no reason why it should not
have held its own, was, in itself, sulllcieh'
10 cause this surprise, but the feeling was
further increased when il was found that
nronertv had risen in value in many coun-
ties. i'm which il was confidently, and upon
the most reasonable grounds, expected 10
fall off in value. There is 10 occasion 10
opastion the general fairness Of the assess
mont that has been made, but that values
have not been estimated in accordance Win
one standard applied throughout the otale'
is obvious upon the face Of the returns mat
have come in. Why should the value OF
propertv nave declined so much IN such
counties as Clarke aud Loudoun, the garden
spots OF Virginia, and risen in some Of the
soutbside counties, which have not one 1.-THE
of their advantages in the point of soil ana
situation? Results so entirely unexpected
because so opposed to reasonable SUPPOSE
ton. throw certain measure OF doubt over
the accuracy Of the whole assessment.
The suggestion Of The TIMES, made
many months ago, that board OF equallza-
ton should be established in Virginia, or Il
series of boards for the different Congress
sional districts, or what would be better,
for the different divisions of the state, would,
if carried out, confer an undoubted beneht
upon the State by ensurng the most exact
equity in the assessments, and remove ali
possibility of injustice being done by throw
ing a greater burden Of taxation upon Ger
tain counties and sections than they ought
10 bear. Such a board has been found
necessary to the interests Of nearly all the
Northern States, and it is only question q
time for it to be adopted and put in opera
ton in this state. such a board could not
but be regarded with general satisfaction
even if il were to entail considerable cN-
pense.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS

A. the summer advances, 1.-The accidents
n, our Virginia railroads seem only to IN
oroase In number. 80 far the loss of life has
not been great, but the accidents themselves
are occurringwith such alarming irequenc!
as 10 create general feeling OF insecurl'!
among all who have occasion 10 tavei, es-
peciaIly over certain lines. There Is no
real excuse for these accidents. Inc ran
roads themselves can least afford 10 sufier
the damage which directly and indirectly
they are innicting upon themselves by their
own imprudence and carelessness.
The scenes of the larger proportion oil lhe
more recent accidents have been on the
Norfolk and Western and the james hlNer
division of the Chesapeake and ONO nan
road. these roads being exposed TO unusual
risks. on account ofthe numerous coal trains
that are brought over them every day IN
either direction, both lines having only
single tracks. The Norfolk and Western
Company is now engaged in constructing
n double track ON the greater portion OF Its
road. and this must certainly reduce the
number of accidents that have been taking
place on that line of railway. The con-
struction of this double track is step de-
manded by the interests of the railroad as
well as the interests Of the public.
The Richmond and Allegheny division
has relieved the main track Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company, but at the
same time, this has only increased It's own
chance Of being the scene of accidents from
the passing TO and fro of numerous coal
trains. The passage Of such trains should
only encourage a spirit OF greater caution
and prudence in those who have the road in
charge.
The public are beginning to regard the
constant recurrence Of accidents on these
different lines with an impotence that will
he satisfied with nothing less than such a
change in their methods as will ensure the
highest degree Of safety both to employees
aud travellers.

They Enio,ea the Ahyerll.ement.

a rather queer sight in this city the other
day was the luggage Of newly married
couple. Some practical joker hal printed
a large number Of labels, about six inches
long and two inches wide, with the words
Just Married" aud pasted them securely
on the trunks, handbags. etc, Of the happy
pair. The Joke was not discovered TIL the
party were ready 90 start on their wedding
tour, and it WAS too iat6to remove the Ia
bells. Perhaps the couple were too happy
10 wish TO conceal their fresh bliss. At
any rate the bridegroom carried his hand
bag, labeled Just Married" without
any attempt at concealment. Springfield

II is quite evident that the motive which
is influencing the Republican party in con-
nection with the passage of the national
election measure is not purely political.
The Republicans are not simply seeking TO
prolong indefinitely their supremacy in ma
tional affairs by establishing a general sys-
TEN Of local returning boards throughout
the Southern 81 ites, controlled by their own
unscrupulous agents. one Of their prlnci-
pal objects in passing this most UNJUST and
unwarranted law is to excite race conflicts
in the South. which will have the very nat
upqhl "f6e' IfGGasiinS. u blight Tor tinle
couraging the investment here Of capital
by Northern men Of wealth. The amount
of such capital that has in the
last few years been invested in the
south has been enormous. The South
has come to be regarded as one
of the most profitable fields for investment
to be found in the United states, and this
reputation, if nothing interfered, would
only continue to grow and extend. Already
the Southern States are becoming a most
formidable competitor Of the North in many
lines Of manufacture, and, in some direc-
lions, it seems to bid fair to drive the North
out of the market. The Republican party
is beginning to understand this very clearly.
In passing the National Election law, they
are, therefore, Influenced to a certain extent
by a determination 10 obstruct the material
progress Of the South in order to diminish
its importance as competitor Of the North
at this time, and to put it out Of its power.
if possible, ever to become a successful
rival in the future.

AMONG the important questions to be dis
cussed at the coming annual meeting in In
dianapolis of the National Bar Association,
will be that of the body's becoming apart
of an international organization. The
basis for this exists in the association for
the reform and coditication Of the laws OF
nations which was formed in Brussels in
1878, and which is international in charac-
ter, Other professions have their organi-
cations, close or loose. Of world wide ex-
tent, and there is every reason 10 believe
that the legal profession would be greatly

Shifting Population.

population Of the county outside OF Read
ing has fallen Oh 2.jJl.
1t is not probable that all the Young men
of the county have forsaken the farms 10
live in the town. Alucn Of the increase in
Reading has been from outside immigra-

county cells its own tale Of the Improbable
ness OF farming in what was once one Of
the richest agricultural counties Of the
Commonwealth.
Ii rich and fertile Berks is losing It's
farmer population, il is more than probable
that some of the less favored counties Of
the state will make much worse showing
in this respect. The returns Of population
from the rest Of the State viii be looked for
with good deal of eagerness by ali who
take an interest in tie prosperity Of its

evils flourish. \ fearless and incOrruptible
press is the bulwark Of liberty and decency.

sian wars, and around it are arranged other
