II vi uauvxwi trust that a close scrutiny on the part of the General Assembly will find this to be the case. To our mind there has been no more important measure brought before the 'Legislature. The methidslwhicfr n$w; obtain in this State for arriving at the valuation of property for purposes of taxation, are notoriously imperfect They afford every wished for (loop-hole to the dis honest man, and strongly tempt him whq is honest. Th valuation of every man s property is left practically in his own hands, and we suppose this fact has induced more' perjury than all oth er causes combined, lilt is a serious charge, but the fact i$ well known that many tolerably reputable men go regu larly before the lister! of taxes and re turn their property as' worth less than half what it would bring ifput up at forced sale on twenty-four hours' no tice, swearing at the same time that they have made true and faithful re- turns., , f . , Any measure which in this matter will place all men upon the same foot ing is much to be desired, net only be cause it will preventthe honest poor man paying more.than his just propor tion of taxes, but still more so for the reason that it will remove in great measure the temptation which the present system places in the way of people of all classes. From the read ing rather cursory,it is true which we have been able to give this bill of Mr. Alexander, we are strongly disposed to think that it furnishes the remedy for evils under which we now labor in this regard. The bill, after describing at great length and with the utmost mi nuteness, every species of property lia ble to taxation, provides for the aboli tion" the present assessors and the election Dy tne people ot aistric: asses sors, for districts covering not more territory than the present townships, These are tp leave with each property- owner within their respective districts, blank forms upon which such proper ty-owner shall make out a list of all his taxable property, these lists to be re vised by the district assessors, and all to be sent in to the county commissioners by a given time. The next step after this is the annual meeting of a county board of equalization, which is to be com posed of the county commissioners and four citizens appointed by the county commissioners these to meet on the Wednesday after the first Monday in August of each year, to hear complaints and to equalize the value of all real and personal property, moneys and credits. In each town of more than two thou sand inhabitants there shall be an an nual board for the equalization of the value of real and personal property money and credits' in Such town, to be composed of the county treasurer and sixcitizens appointed by the municipal government. The auditor of public accounts, treasurer and attorney-general are ap pointed a board of ; equalization of the shares of incorporated' banks arid railroad companies, according to the returns made to this; higher board by the fcounty board pf equalizatioiF; and provision is made for a board which shall be above all; to ho known ns the State board of equalization, to be com posed' of as many members as . there are senator! districts in the State, there to oe elected at tfee same time and ' in - tne same manner as members of the uenerai Assembly. This i is to be known as a decennial board to meet in Baleigh once.in ten years andthe mem bers thereof to receive the, same pay as Is given members of the General Assembly during the time they are' in session.1'1 ,'-: We have not undertaken to do more than present the faintest outline of tliis bilL It is a pamphlet of sixty-two pages and in an 'article' bf this length we could not do more than convey to theadera-yaueldea of itCgeniral cuarauur ana ; purposes, to be thor oughly understood t must be carefully read and studied in: its entirety.

Wilmington Star. Really, this is not "the North Carolina system." It is very wrong in Burgaw to wish the Legislature to give it a charter. In truth it ought not to have one. Some capitalists or foreign com pany might come in and build up the place with their own money, and it might thus be able to rival its "sister city" and do "some business" which Wilmington would otherwise get It is very unpatriotic in the people of Bur gaw to ask such a favor, slight as it. The good citizens of Wilmington should hold meetings and send delegations to Raleigh to see that the Legislature does not pass an act the results of which will be so disastrous to North Carolina's chief port Long live Wilmington!

An amendment reducing the force of the army to 15,000 has been defeated by a large majority. Quiet a stormy debate arose on an amendment offered by Cox, of New York, to reduce the army to 17,500 men, in the course of which Mills, of Texas, charged the Democrats with being re sponsible for Custer's death, because of their miserable economy, which he stated appeared to be the only idea of statesmanship which the House pos sessed. The House rejected the amend ment, and also another reducing it to 20,000. The vote was 66 ayes to 118 noes. The House took a recess without further disposition of the bill.

Mackey, of South Caro lina, in regard to the late election in that State, his testimony being to the effect that the Republicans were in nu merous ways prevented from having a full and free vote in Charleston county, fraud for that purpose.

He said the Democrats regarded voting tissue ballots as a huge joke on the Republicans, saying that .they had learned the tricks of the Re publicans, and were now beating them at uieir own game.
