"' THE NEW ASSESSMENT LAW. . . [Continued from last Week.] . The oath required to be taken by the assessed party is as follows: - . *I, being duly sworn, say that to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the foregoing statement containsa true, tull, and fair list of all personal prop. erty belonging to me, and dogs owred, kept, or harbored by me on the firgt day of April, including all personal property appertaining to merchandizing, whether held in actual posseesion, or only having been purchased with a view to possession or profit, and all personal property ap pertaining to manufacturing, and all manufactured articles, whether on hand, or owned by me. In all cases where I bave been unable to exhibit certatn classes of property to the Assessor, euch property has been fully and fairly described, and ita true condition and value represented. That I have in no case sought to mislead the Assessor as to either quantity, or quality, or value of property ; and the month-

ly average value and amounts of moneys credits, or otber personal property con verted by me into bonds, or other secur ities of the United States, and held o controtled by me during the. year ending ‘April first, and not deducting ‘any indebtedness created by such investments as is stated in the Bth paragraph of this “schedule; and that.the deductions claim ed from credits are bona fide debts for a cousideration received, and do not congist in any part of bonds, notes, or obligations of any kind, given to any Insur‘ance comipany on account of premiums or policies, nor on accourmt of any unpaid subscription to any literary, scientific, or charitable institution or society, nor en account of any subscription to, or indebtedness payable on the capital stock of any company, either incorporated or unincorporated.” ' : It can well be seen by the foregoing, that the law is meant to be most searching, and that the work of assessment must be thorough, anless there is carelessness and indifférence on the part of the Assessor, and willful perjury on the part of both the Assessor and assessed. - -

The fee of the County Assessor, who is also Real Estate Appraiser, is hereafter, $4 00 per day. That of bis deputies, $3 00 per day. While the pay is slightly in - creased, pet day to those who do the larger share of the work, the greater amount of work required—at least doubling it—the greater thoroughness of the work,and to be done in one third less time, makes it problematical whether the Assessor is as well paid under the new law :as‘under the old. . e We bespeak for the Assedsor—who isa thorough nian and who believes in doing the work thoroughly —the consideration due bim. He hopes, while not wronging our county in apy manner, to make the work compare favorably with any if the State. ¢~ R.

About the Assessment. ; [ From the Lagrange Standard.] MR. EpIToR :—Being continually plied with questions in regard to the basis upon which this assessment will be made, and seeing an article in the Standard from A Fleming, giving his view of the law, I thought it might be proper for me to define my position, ana to state to the tax-payers of the county what basis I have established for the assessment that will commence in every township in the county on the 2d day of April. ! {n the first place, I cannot agree with Mr. Fleming. Itseemsto meto beanab-: surd. idea of offeriag a whole State for sale, for no man but Unele Sam would be able to buy, and he having plenty of land to sell, the probability is it would never sell as a State. Now, then, Ido not believe the luw contemplates any sach thing ; but how much money is there in the real and personal property of this county’; how much would a man, having cash to invest, pay for it. Would he invest it at the figure the Assessor hasput upon it, or would he invest it at ten per cent. instead ; if so, my opinion is the Assessor is too high. 7 Now, then, I believe the law contemplates this, that the Assessor shall reduce every species of property to a cash basis. Io iilustrate, if a man has $5,000 in notes, secured, at ten per cent., it is cash ; another has $5,000 in notes, on same time, at six per cent., or no interest, they are not cash, and the Assessor must discriminate fairly between them. Again,’a man having $5,000 in greenbacks, from which he can realize ten per cent. interest, and another has $5,000 in real estate, which pays him 5 per cept.,- then "the ‘Assessor shall discriminate fairly between them, so that every tax—payer in the county may stand upon equal footing as far as paying taxes igconcerned. This is my construction of the law, and I shall see that it is faithfully earried out over theentire coun- .. ARAD LAMPMAM, ‘ ~County " Assessor.

The Assessment—Farm Produce and . Stock. (From the Terre Haute Journal.) , - The Assessors of Vigo county agreed upon a schedule for rating farm produce and stock at their meeting on Saturday. The following figures are made for Terre Haute. In the out townships the cost of getting articles to market will be deducted : ' .

.Amendment to the Assessment Law.’ - During the last days of the session of the Legislature, an act amendatory to the Assessment Act was passed. The following section will prove intercsting to all: Sec. 4. That section one hundred and fifty-nine of said act be amednded to read as follows: The several County Treasurers be and are hereby required immedia tely atter their Aprii settlement with the County Auditor, either in person or by deputy, to call upom every delinquent taxpayer in their respective counties, and | if necessary, to restrain propetty for the collection of such delinquent tax, together with tln per centum damage, and the costs and charges that may accrue. The said Treasurer shall, on the fifth day of November, make settlement with the County Auditor for the amount ot such delinguent tax for which said Treasurer is to stand charged ; said settlement in'all respectsito be made and certified in such manner as the Aunditor of State shall direct, and it shall be the duty of County Auditor to fnrward a: certified copy of such settlement forthwith to the Auditor of Btate: - Provided, that the County Auditor shall not be authorized to credit the Treasurer with any uncollected delinguency, unless such "Vreasurer shall show by | proper returns, verified by his oath or affirmation, that be has, in each case for

which he claims credit, diligently sovght for and bas been unable to find any property from which to collect such tax. Or that property was levied upon, offered for sale and failed ‘to sell; or having made a slevy he was enjoined or otherwise prevented from making sale or collection: And, provided further, That in all cases where pr. perty shall fail tosell for want of bid ders jthe County Treasurer shall have power to remove said’property to some other township in the county and recffer the same, as in tbe first instance. From this it will be seen that the Treasurer will receive no credits for delin quent taxes, unless some satisfactory. explanation is made of his failure to collect.

Railroad Consolidation. Last week, a final ‘consolidation was effected by the Fort Wayne, Jackson & Saginaw, the Detroit & Eel River; and tbe Detroit, Hillsdale & Indiana Railroads.. The new corporation is to be called the Detroit, Fort Wayne & Logans, port Railway Company. A provisional board of directors, six from the Ft. W, & S.R.

, County Fair Grounds. ‘ By the provisions ot a law passed at the ‘recent session of the Legislature, the Board of Commissioners of any county in the State are authorrzed upon a peti= tion of a majority of the voters, to appro priate from the county fund, not to exceed five thousand dollars to aid County Agricultural Societies in purchasing Fair Grounds. This, it seems to us, is a good law. Ifthere are any benefits growing out of fairs, it is of sufficient -importance to warrant the expenditure of public money in their behalf. Heretofore a few of the public spirited, and more liberal minded citizens have had to bear the expence of, puichasing or lcasing grounds, and preéarmg,them for holding Fairs, while tht benefits arising therefrom, have been generally shared by the whole people of the county. “Grange.” | ' The meaning of the term “Grange” in the English language, is—*a farm, with the buildings, &c.” In French—a buro.

In the French languagejthe farmer is called —GRANGIER. In Spanish—GRANGERO.

Who is She ? From the New York Telegram. ' There is a Senator in Washington who has been utterly ruined, politically, and worge, by his wife. We shall-not here give his name. Sbe admitted that his political ruin was due to her. He could not afford it honestly, but she must have a house costing $40,000 or so. Men asked how he could do all this on his limited income and the ‘answer destroyed him.— There began to be whispered that all this show, superinduced by the insane society ambitions ot his wife, meant corruption, and the guspicion was fatal. That politi cal death has been followed by hie complete moral ruin in thelate investigations. This is suggestive, and it is only one case in hundreds of those swallowed up % the remorseless vortex which society in Wash. ington has made for the wesk and giddy. i el W —r A young girl in West Virginia set fire to a house for the purpose of being sent to the penitentiary, where her lover was about to be sent for horse stealing. He was acquitted, however, while she ‘was convicted and sent to the States prison, and her object was thus defeated. Gov, Jacobs bas recently pardoned her, and now they are both happy. The Clay county coal miners voted solid against Hon. D. W.

THE NEW PARTY MOVEMENT. Plan for Redeeming the Country, (Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer.) NEw ORLEANS, LA, March 21, ’73. - Ignoring such political “cracksmen” as Fenton, Cochran, McClure, and War“moth, let Lyman Trumbull and Augustus . Schell call together in New York two "hundred conservative and able men' for consultation. They should be composed in part of such citizens as the elder- Ad ' ams, Sumner, Amasa Sprague, jun., Church, Seymour, Groesbeck, Cox,, Kerr, Schurz, Hassaurek, Hunter (R. M. T.), Hampton, Vance, Gibson of Louisana, Andrew Johnson, J. C: Breckinridge, etc. The editorial syndicate should he excluded, until its members are acquitted of the charge of political lunacy made sagainst them last year and not yet disposed of. The ablest journalist of them all, Mr. Halstead, is confessedly a most unwise political guide. Watterson can’t play a game of poker if the ante isabovea quarjter. Sam..Bowles has no more common sense than to abuse/with great extremeness the Pacific Railroad Directors, and then write to Horace Clark for a pass to California, saying that his slanders were “such little things they didn’t hurt.” As for Horace White, any school-marm would spank & boy for exhibiting upon an ex<” amination so little “ken” as he did .in playing Trumbull or Adams to win and “coppering” Greeley in the Cincinnati Convention, i

In the elegant language of Mr. Keck, “We want none ot these ducks” The consultation should be for the purposé of forming a conseryative organization ‘as against all the parties alike. = This course alone can make those who strut around with the cerements of the founders of the Democracy ceasse their tomfoolery, and will dispel the-illusions of certain Liberal Republicans who hold themselves at high rates. Such an assemblage of men would 'de - clare a platform protesting against Executive aggreseion, against a protective. tariff, and against corruption in high places; but they would ‘not perpetuate our folly by driving an antagonismwith capital in denouncing all financial combinations under the odious name of monopolies. 'No party will - ever again obtain control of the Government under cover of a hue and cry against capital, Grant has gone -to one extreme; let us not go to the other. While labof should be protected, capital should be considerately regarded, and inallthings demagoguery utterly spurned. What is flesh for capital should be meat for the masses, and vice versa. * - i

At the first elections held after this council is had, primaries could be .conducted under calls made by the persons designated by the State Executive Committeeman, who in tarn will have been named by the national Committee.

To a Michigander, who lives in & elimate where a warm idea is frozen in the expression, and who has been a life long opponent of the Democracy, I mentioned it yesterday. Hisanswer was: “Capital, capital! I hope it will take place. Grant’scourse toward Louisiana convinces me that -he bas no more regard for the Constitutipn than a dog has.” -T also ventured to suggest it to a gen tleman of emivence here, well known to the Enquirer, and of our faith. He re plied : “I will advocate it wit ; all my heatt.” . ol ‘ I have had my say; let us have yours. If you favor it'ask Mr. Schell not to name the Fourth of July. .

' Legal Advertising. The late Legislature took a whack at almost everything, and awong other laws passed was one regulating legal advertis ing., Here it is: Legal advertising, growing out of any transaction, or connected with the performance of any duty of the Sheriff, Clerk, Treasurer, Auditor, Executor, Administrators, Guardians, Ttrustees and Assign ees, (except the printing of the delinquent tax list,) sball be by such officer charged up, collected and paid over to the printer, aud when such printing is done for the county, the Bosard of County Commissioners shall allow the same, and pay it out of the coupty Treasury, according to the rate hercin fixed , The compensation for sueh printer for such Legal Advertising, shall be as here~ in set torth, to wit: - For each advertisement per square of two hundred and fifty ems, first insertion, $1.25. For each additional ingertion, 75¢; And in case such officer shall be unable to procure such advertising for the price fixed berein, it shall be sufficient for him to post up written or printed notices, as the law requires, and such advertisement in a newspaper shall, in such case, be dispensed with. | | ; We do not know how other papers feel about it, but it strikes us that this is about the fair thing. Of course our Solons had no more right tosay whbat pring ters shall charge, than they would bave had to regulate the prices of any other manufacturers. But the rates they have fixed are very fare it seems to us, and about the same as the Democrat has heretofore enforced. We have heretofore allowed 260 ems for a squareand cbarged $1 per gquare for each insertion. .= - The new law fixes the square at 250 ems and allows $1 25 per equare for first Insertion and 75 cents for each additional insertion. Legsl advertisements generally receive three insertions, sometimes four. Wae think publishers will be the gainers under this new law, as County Commissioners can’t “cut” the publishers’ bills, and Administrators, Guardians, Trustees, and Assignees are compelled to collect and pay over to the printer, At any rate we are glad a legal rate has been established for this class of advertising, It will stop a great deal of growlizg‘ab'out “discouraging litigation” by charging ex cessive printers’ fees,— Daviess County.

‘ The SechoolFund Case, | | - | | The Superintendent of Public Instruction and Attorney General of the State have instituted suit to recover something over $50,000 of accrued interest, \with-held from the School Fund last year, under an injunction of “certain parties,” The amount in the Sinking. Fund, on which this interest is claimed, is put at { $700,000. The Superintendent of Pub« ﬂc Instruction claims that if this revenue ad been distributed among the countie of the State, the public schools 'wmil?: bave realized at least $50,000, which is the claimed interest on the: amount. The injunction, which prevented the distribution of this fund, was sued out by certain: interestedparties. If the interest on $700,000 for ten months was fraudulently kept from the common schools of the State, we sce no reason why a vigorous attempt should not be made to recover i, ’ It is argued that if the digtrilution had - been made, the interest on such small amounts per county, would have been lost in ‘the hands of superintendents.— Such argument is glaringly false.* The | premises are equally false. The amount, to the sounty, had the distribution - been’ made, would have been inround numbers $7,000: Now, the interest on this amount would have been, at ten per centum, about “9700. This amount would:-have ren the- - ' schools for .one month, making four months of school intsead of the usual

Can ‘&ny sane man maintain that “this little: ‘share of ‘money might nearly as well- be thrown into the fire,” as the Indianapolis Journal sneeringly affirms. ~ S7CO, per county, would have added mateérially 'to the common school interest of-the State, " Any other conclusion must be arrived at illogically and with false premises. If county commissioners and ®uperintendents sometimes act dishonestly, it 18 no ‘argument for the witholding of funds that properly: belong to the people. As the, case now stands it seems evident that the common schobls have been defrauded, and the im+ pending suit to recoverthe accrued in terest smacks strongly of justice and right. — Kokomo Democrat; -~ - . = oo

- Reloaning the School Fund. - The attention of County Auditors is being called by the Auditor of State to the new law regulating the loaning.of the school fand. The law requires the money, which is now bringing 7 per cent. interest, to be called in and reloaned. at 8 per ccent. The Rushville.Republican thus pre. sents the difficulties in the way of catrying out the provisions of the law in that county. Similar difficulties will proba—bly be encountered inother counties. The Republican says : R There is. about. $60,000 of this school fund loaned in Rush county.” The loan is made for five years and secured by mortgage on unencumbeted-repl estate,— It has been customary not to renew these mortgages upon the expiration of the five years, but to allow the money.to be'retained upon the old mortgages so long as the interest was paid. Many of these mort: gages have been in existence for more than twelve; years, and very little of the property they encumber is now .in the hands of the parties who gave them. ‘Bx cept & very small amount of the school fund which has been loaned within the past five years, this money is ail liable,ac. cording to the provisions of the law, to be called in. A great portion of it can not be renewed by a . .new mortgage bé: cause the property is otherwise encumber - ed, and the distress and hardship which will result from ‘the demand for such a large amount of money, suddenly made. without any warning to the holders, esdecially at this season of the year, can l'g readily imagined.
