THE NEV-JERSEY MESSAGE.

Governor Abbetts annual message to the
Legislature of New-Jersey, unlike some other
papers from the same source is singularly free
from exciting or partisan features. 1t is true
that he warmly oOngratulates the State upon
" the simplest and most effective" BallOt-Re-
form law adopted by any State, by which I" brib-
cry has been practically eliminated" and upon
" the success of this great reform" 1t would
be difficult to find any other citizen Of New
Jersey, not connected with the Hudson County
ring of public plunderers, who considers the
enactment a great success. But the Governor
udiciously refrans from asserting that the act
has practically eliminated" the carrying Of
elections by fraud and perjury, and is careful
not to mention the numerous cases of his po-
itical friends who have been indicted for
startling crimes against popular government.
AS to reapportionment of Assembly districts
the Governor merely mentions that the COM
pIetiOn of another census makes this proper
for the Legislature. His views on railroad
taxation are not reiterated at length or with
controversial zeal, and the review Of the rela-
tons Of the State government to all the varied
industrial social and financial interests of the
State, while extremely minute and long, is
exceptionally free from partisanship of tone
or suggestion. The message is in many re-
spects a creditable document, and if not much
more thrilling in interest to non-residents than
a directory, is still crowded with information
which the taxpayers of the State will find useful
for reference.
The question OF local assessment and taxation
Of property is examined at much length and
information is given Of results reached by
investigation Of the Commission on that sub
ect. Unhappiy. the Commission only con
firms what was sufficiently we'll known be-
fore, regarding the great inequality and in
Justice of assessments under the present sys-
tem il finds that existing statutes are prac-
ticaly disregarded, that assessments vary from
20 to 80 per cent OF the true valuation that

Tile ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES.

Sneaker Sheehan has made pubic Ills Hs' VI
committees of the Assembly. Ii rs courteous
N saw "his committees" although it Is easy
in reading over the list to discern the handi-
work likewise of David b. Hill. There is
STEADY deterioration in the quality OF the Sc
loctions from the leading Committee of Ways
and Means to that of Unfinished Business. The
choice of Mr.. McClelland, OF Westchester as
chairman of Ways and Means is good one.
He is a man Of integrity and ability, but ne
has as Democratic associates K. +. BUSH, OF
Cbemung. Demarest, of Rockland Earl, OF
Kings. and Riley, of Rensselaer,, who cannot
be trusted to sustain Mr.. McClelland in any
nolicy Of economy which he may have. 1t is
20 the Republicans on the committee that ne
must lool, for supporters in this policy, ana ne
will find them in ex-Speaker Hustled, Mr.. Acker,
Mr. Fish and Mr.. Malby.
Mr.. Hit, of Albany, who leads the JUDICIARY
Committee. is an able lawyer, and has strong
marty assistants in &. II. Bush, of Ulster, and
McNahon, of New York but here again MeSslS.
Ackcr Hustled johnson and Hildreth, the Re
nublicans. form the best portion OF the COM
mittee. Taxation and Retrenchment does not
hoye q chairman from whom much can be ex-
nected. Mr.. Demarest showed only mediocre
abilities when last member of the Assembly.
As usual. the Canal Committee is composed ex-
clusively of members representing the canal
counties Mr. Guenther its chairmaf, comes
from Speaker Sheehan's own county. IL is to
he feared that extravagant expenditures on the
canals will be suggested.
The Committee on Cities cannot be consid-
cred b be fairly constituted when the Brooklyn
Renublicans have no representation while the
Brooklvn Democrats receive two seats A clty
divided politically as Brooklyn is, when thus
represented, is most grossly misrepresented.
Mr.. Blumenthal the chairman, is an honorable
man by nature but he is an obedient servant
of Tammany Hail. The committee Is weak
one. with Guenther, of Erie; Hit, OF Albany !;
Shields and Cooney, of Kings, and Dinkelspiel
and Webster, Of NewYork, as its Democratic
members. Mr.. Brodsby is selected to represent
the Republicans of this city on the committee.
The appointment of Mr.. Hildreth we believe,
would have been far more satisfactory.
There will be general establishment that Mr..
Sheehan appointed Timothy D. Sullivan, OF
New-York as chairman of the Committee on
Commerce and Navigation, and gave him asso-
GATES Of similar character. Mr.. Hill surren-
dered to the liquor dealers when he wrote out
the names of the members of the Excise Com
mittee Mr.. Earl, of Brooklyn, is the chair
man, and has as Democratic colleagues men
who, it can be predicted, will report favorably
the various bills in which the liquor dealers are
interested As whole, the composition OF the
committees is not creditable either to Governor
Hill or his Speaker

the mode of equalization, so-called, is very
inefficient and virtually worthless, that deduc-
tions for debts are a fruitful source Of evil and
that many people get rid Of their proper taxes
by false swearing. Notwithstanding all this,
the Governor and the Commission recommend
that existing statutes, "since the people are
familiar with them," be made the basis OF any
improved legislation that land and improve
ments should be separately valued, that no ex.
emptions should be allowed for debts except OF
record and with specifications to prevent 1raud'
and that better methods should be devised ior
securing faithful and honest enforcement OF
the laws As that is simply the most diihsut
thing vet discovered in human experience the
recommendations are hardly calculated to ex-
cite strong hopes in the bosoms OF taxpayers
whose burdens have been multiplied by the
frauds of others and the wrongdoing OF local
