THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Decides That County Auditora Have a . Right to Assess Property That . Ha Escaped Taxation. A great deil of personal property escapes taxation. Different Counties employ experts to ferret out this property and subject it to taxation; the recalcitrant propertyholder invariably object. One of his principal objections is founded upon section 63 of the tax law, which reads: "When any such special assessment is not returned to the County Treasurer on or before March 1, after the same is due, the same may be returned on or before March 1 in the succeeding vear, and if not then, it shall be considered barred unless return is presented by an injunction or by order of the Court." The Attorney General, yesterday, in a lengthy opinion to the Treasurer of Tippecanoe County, held that this section did not bar Treasurers and their Deputies from assessing any property that had escaped taxation, and such officers could go back as far as December, 1872, the date of the tax act, in prosecuting their investigations. This statute he construed to be a rule governing the tax officers in returning the property after it had been discovered, out that it had no application to property not discovered and where the tax officers had no knowledge of its existence. He also submitted an opinion in relation to SiCHOOI.S. That where an incorjorated town has been dissolved under the provisions of section 3 of the act of June 11, 1S52, the schools of that town are to be taken charge of bv the Township Trustees, and their a flairs administered like those of other School Districts within his jurisdiction. L1TE&ART-I1LLIU OL'&-OCIAL. The largest house of the season greeted the officers of the Drop in the Buekef Society of Jones' Tabernacle, Blackford St., Tuesday night. Miss Lucy Shelton accompanied on the organ by a young lady whose name we did cot learn, sang very sweetly one of her favorite ballads, fairly carrying the house by storm. She was followed by W. A. Sweeny in "Dreams of Ambition." The subject of discussion "Resolved that A. Lincoln Did More to Save the Union than U. S. Grant" was ably handled by E. Outland and J. L. Evans in the affirmative, and Paul Scott and Jacob Franklin in the negative. Decided for the negative. After preparing a splendid programme for next Tuesday night adjournment took place. The reorganization of the 4Garfield'' took place Tuesday nicht, and the following per sons were elected officers: President, J. L. Evans; Vice President, Mrs. Susie Floyd; Secretary, Miss Sarah Johnson: Treasurer, Mr. Wm. Harvey; Chairman on literature, Paul Scott; Master of ceremonies, VY. A. Sweeney. The first meeting of the new society will take place next Tuesday night, when the following programme will be ren dered: Vocal and instrumental solo. Miss 8. Johnson and Miss Ena Waldon ; select readme. Mrs. Susie Flo vd: Ballad (select). Miss Millie Hunter; literary address, Mr. E. Outland; reading, "Death of Little Nell," by W. A. Sweeney; recication by Miss. S. Johnson; subject of discussion: "Resolved that there can be More Happiness Derived from Married Life than from Single life." Affirmative, Ed. Outland; negative, Paul Scott. THE PULPIT. Jones' Tabernacle, Blackford street, Rev. Thos. J. Manson, was crowded to overflow ing last Sabbath night, and a more atten tive and interested congregation we venture to say, never assembled in this city. Space alone prevents us according to the speaker, his subject and the occasion that detailed and eulagistic notice which to us would be a labor of love. Suffice it to say at this time that we consider the sermon preached by Rev. Thos. J. Manson last Sunday night, at Blackford St. Church, a great one a mas terly handling of a profound religious subjact, proving beyond a doubt in the minds ox the vast assemblage who listened to him, that he possesses, to a very great degree, iL a l , i?.r . ? i tnoBe rare ana vaiuaDie qualities oi mina and heart which are only found in great or ganizations, and which can no more be hid from the world than the noon-day sun. Mr. Manson is still a joune man anc is. com pa ratively speaking, a stranger, still he has the stuff in his make-up which, if judiciously manipulated, will certainly place his name amongst the princely few. In profoundity of thought and idea, we consider him tl peer of any of our leading ministers, and in a certain picturesque, descriptive eloquence peouhar to himself, the superior of many oi them. Go and hear him. The Vermont Street Church Sunday School is nourishing just now, and is a very pleasant place to drop into Sunday after noons between two and three, it is con trolled by a corps of accomplished teachers, prominent among whom are Miss A. Vilson, Miss Retta Moss, Mr. Lightbourne, Mr, Prettyman. The Blackford St. Church choir will be ready for public use about Jan. 1. SOCIAL. About fifty people, ladies and gentlemen included, members and friends of Blackford Street Church, led by Miss Annie Oliver, took occasion to surprise Rev. T. J. Manson and family on the night of the 2nd of this month in a very substantial and pleasant way. We are told that the tables fairly groaned with the good things provided; yum, yum, yum, and that a good time was bad generally. JOTTINGS. Miss Lucy Shelton is a lovely soprano. Paul Scott made a strong argument in the debate Tuesday night. Mrs. Fannie Lanier, leading soprano of the Lyrics, has been quite ill. We like to hear Ed. Outland debate; he throws his soul in the ballance. Now that the "Garfield Club" has been resurrected, the much talked of debate be tween J. T. V. Hill and J. L. Evans will be in order. Tut Child English pern ITttuse. At this popular "Temple of pleasure" will be rendered, on next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee, the charming operatic burlesque, the "Magic Slipper," by the celebrated Corinne MerrieMakers, a company of thirty first-class artists. An exchange says: "Corinne is the bright particular star, and although diminutive, her keen intellect and pleasing stage presence makes ber one of the first magnitude. She is, so to speak, a vest pocket edition of a sweet singer and charming actress. As Cinderella she is very cunning in all she does, her singing being particularly good. For a six-year-old she is the "posessor of a marvelous voice, which she handles with artistic ease worthy of a professional. Her singing was greatly admired last evening, and frequently she was encored two and three times, which is the best evidence that her efforts were appreciated. She is indeed a diminuative wonder, is full of life and action, gestures gracefully, and has her part memorized perfectly, appearing at ease at all times. VVe would like to speak in detail of the many clever things she doea, but will have to defer doinc so until another time, for want of space. Her recitation entitled: "She's Somebody's Mother," is worth the price ot admission alone. Every member of the troupe sustains his or her part in a satisfactory manner. The most effective features of the performance are the two choruses by the policemen from the "Pirates of Pen zance. ' The songs, dances, etc., by Little Corinne, Miss Bessie Louise King, Master Lew. the Misses Minor and Farrell, Miss Lizzie Hunt, J, H Conar, Frank Hayden and others are

all good. The "Magic Slipper" is particu

larly calculated to please ladies and children, and those who do not see it will miss a rare treat." Bethel Cbnreh. Indianapolis, December 1, 1880. The Relief Association of Bethel A. M.

The 'Carbonate Weekly Chronicle, of Leadvills, Col., of the 27th of last morth, occupies much of its snace in telling how one Charles Green (a negro) was sold at auction, in front of one Justice McDowall's office, and was bought by C. E. Wynan,for two dollars, he being the highest bidder. It seems that under the statue of Colorado a vagrant may be sold for a certain length of time, the pro ceeds of the auction to pay the costs of the case in court. By reason of this the colored man having no visible means of support was sentenced to be sow w or tor inree

months. Hebeine the first and onlv man

arrested as a vagrant in that benighted place called Leadville, I suppose, since it has leen called a city. Well, again to the fact, as stated in the 'Chronicle.' At ten o'clock sharp, of the morning of this day, "E. II. V atson. Chief of Police, and is also a deputy S leriff of that place, made the sale. It seems a though Green was a young man of about twenty years. Mr. W., the man who purchased him, was offered twenty dollars for the use of the man immediately after the sale was closed, but refused, saying "He was no slave broker." A few days after this colored man was again arrested for stealing two overcoats, boots, shoes and some other things, amounting to about $100. This was done before his first arrest. The upshot of it all is that in default of bail he was lodged in the County jail to await the action of the court. This all had been done. without Mr. C E. Wyman knowing anything whatever of it. Upon investigating he soon learned the whereabouts of his man Green. He made a demand for him, but the officers, of course, refused. A subscriber of the Leader would like to know the official Republican majority of the October and November elections in Indiana. The Social and Jug-Breaking to be given by the Hod Cross Commandry No. 7, K. T., is in Turn Hall, Ohio street, "Wednesday, evening, December 15th. The Central High School of this city gives a grand concert on the 2&1. What has become of ''Wraign" andNon Dum?" What has becemo of the concert which was to have been given by the Calvary Episcopal Church? T. D. Harden, of the Republican Echo, (Savannah) traveling through Georgia in the interest of his paper, speaks encouragingly. This is as it should be. The colored man that does not at least take two colored papers is behind the times one religious and one political. Don't talk about poverty, we are fully able totlo this, if we only wish to. Christian Recorder. South era T tTj All we ask of Gen. Garfield is to give us an administration as conservative, just, and conciliatory as thai of Mr. Hayes. Little Rock (Ark.) Democrat. This is very prettily said, but it is the sheerest hypocracy. For what return has the South made for the "conservative, just and conciliatory administration of Mr. Hayes?" Not quite as many negroes have been maimed and murdered, perhaps, as during the four years preceding. But there have been raaimlngs and murders enough to brand the whole South with savage brutality and barbarism. The Ku-Klux and white League clans have not been quite as ready with their shot-guns and firebrands as during some early periods in their history, but they have done enough to show that the spirit of violence, injustice and ' hate is still rampant. Star (Richmond, Va). By All Means. Freeman'a Jourual, St. Lonii. Many influettial white and alarge majority of the colored papers of the country are urging the selection of Senator Bruce, of Miss., for a cabinet portion. Such an appointment would not only be eminently fitting in view of Senator Bruce's qualifications and record in the Senate, but would evince a disposition to accord the colored race, to whose votes the incoming President owes his place, a recognition, ang just representation in the administration of national affairs, and an opportunity to demonstrate their capability to fill any position however exalted creditably to themselves and advantageously to tbe country. It is about time that a fidelity which has been proof alike against Southern terrorism and party terrorism and party neglect, and during fifteen years been rewarded only by menial or inconsequential place, should receive some fitting reward. GENEBAL HA.HRISON. The withdrawal of Judge Gresham from the Senatorial race, in the opinion of the best informed politicians, virtually settles the contest in favor of General Harrison. The election of General Harrison to the Senate will bo an honor to the State of Indiana. His great abilities and purity of life will enable him to become at once a prominent and in fluential member of the Senate. His llepublicanism is of the stalwart eort, and his opinion of the solid South is most forcibly put in a speech delivered in the campaign of 187C, in which he declared that "the peace of the South is the peace of the graveyard." We copy from the Cincinnate Commercial the following beautiful tribute from a lifedong friend: I speak from the intimacy of a long friendship when I say that General Harrison has been more misjudged than any public man in Indiana. He is a man of fixed principles, unswerving integrity, of apparently cold demeanor, but really possessing a warm heart, animated by the most kindly and generous impulses. What is by many attributed to a feeling of cold reserve is to some extent owing to a natural diffidence, but more to his complete absorption in whatever business or thought occupies his mind. I have seen him meet and pass his friends and neighbors on the street without speaking to them, and I have heard some people mention this as arguing some serious defect of character; but those who know him best know that he is incapable of meditating or perpetrating an intentional slight to anybody, Jfobody questions his great abilities: his integrity has never been assailed ; the purity of his private life is unsullied: his conspicuous services to the Republican party are known to all; his military record is highly creditable: his courage in standing for the principles of his party, even when they were assailed Ly men within the party ranks, is remembered, and the only criticism against him is that he neglects the cultivation of those arts by which he might increase his personal popularity. As his friend, I could wish, as many of his friends wish, that he might throw aside that thin veil of reserve which, while it is imperceptible to the eye of friendship, is still enough to hide from others those excellent and sterling qualities of heart which those who know him best know that ne possesses in such lull measure. He is now in the prime of life, and will go to the Senate well equipped for all the encounters which may come to him there. His associates will find him courteous and able; his party will have occasion to congratulate itself upon having such a champion, and the country wLll see and acknowledge in time a worthy successor to Morton. Rev. Dr. Samson astonished the Baptist ministers of New York, at the Monday conference, by declaring that God had no soul. He draws a distinction between spirit and soul, which is respectfully submitted to Joseph Cook for elucidation. BUSINESS DIRECTORY. pvRUGCISTS. W. A. V I. X.
