NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.
Gathered by Our Correspondents.
Gov Browm's Suggestion Impracticable.

GOV. Browm's Suggestion practicable.
SHAwsvILLn, Dec. 6.-The great question
which Governor Browns suggestion concern
ing assessments has aroused is doubtless as
much discussed and thought over III every
section of the State as it is in this. 1t is as
much an object of interest to the most obscure
hamlet in the relnoteSJ agricultural commu-
nity as it is in the richest commercial ompor-
ium. leading editorial in the Baltimore
Ch,t,sty Democrat of last week strikes a chord
of popular feeling so closely that we beg to
be excused for quoting at large: The far
mers are the people who pay the bulk OF the
taXes-national, State and county-and when
the assessor goes on the farm and swears the
tiller of the soil on the Holy Evangely
of Almighty God to give Il perfect inven
tory of his real and personal holdings, he
gets evcrything-even down to the old SOW
and the sucking pigs-and that is all right.
But when our assessors go to our citizens
land our cities in particular are full of them
whose greatest labor is to clip coupons from
their bonds, and swears them on the Holy Evan
gely to give a true and perfect inventory Of
their stocks and bonds, then such practice
is exceedingly reprehensible, because Of its
inuuisitorial features. The farmers of this
country have just secured a glimpse Of the
promised land. They propose to go ahead and
possess it. They do not propose to pay their
undue proportion of the tax any longer, and
our amiahle friend the Governor had just as
well make up his mind at once that the peo-
pie of this State do not propose to send men to
the next General Assembly who will pass law
to satisfy those who influenced our Governor
to defeat the ''Iiayes BILL The people in a
recent election discovered their strength, and
they are now on their mettle. Look out for
them, for they go in mighty rush"
The rejection by the people Of the amend
ment to the Constitution, proposed by the last
Legislature, was, perhaps, largely due to one
of two cause.-the ignorance of ii large body
of voters as to its true purpOrt, or powerful
influence brought to bear upon the voters by
those whose pecuniary interests led them to
oppose the amendment. The rejection by the
Governor of the Hayes bill fell like a thunder
bolt upon the farmers, and believe it is the
bill which the people want.
That part of Gov. Browns suggestion which
refers to conference seems to me impractical
BILE. 1t is hardly reasonable to suppose that
any number of men, Representative though
they may be, can be assembled to treat upon
SO serious and vital a subject without being
educated thoroughly upon that subject. Such
q conference could not but result in the adop-
ton Of the views Of few interested master
minds, against whom the efforts and opposi-
ton OF the farmers would be futile.

BARN AND CONTENTS BURNED.-Last Friday
night Samuel Gibson, u colored man employ
ed on Mr.. James Carville Lees farm, near
Thomas's Run, was awakened by glare of

that his employers barn was on fire. With
out putting on his shoes or shirt he ran to the
barn, which was supplied with Judge Waters
