When a Beuten int in Hie Prussian service he was no- j ted for a real, or an affected, cynicism toward | the fair sex. Biographers stale that he pur? sued this course lu order not to become loo much interested in any one woman, as he did not choose to ve.ature upon matrimony with nothing but the pay of a lieutenant. Alter he became a general, however, he married a lady much younger than himself, the stepdaughter of his sister. Hin young wile accommodated herself entirely to Ids mode of lile, writing war dispatched at hh; dictation, and riding by his side as a cavalry officer. But about two years ago she became suddenly lil" from exposure during one of i hese rides, and died in conse? quence. Von Moltke ls now unmarried and childless. Berlin gossip is, however, busy with his-naine in connection with matrimony, notwithstanding his advanced age, and is. constantly announcing his betrothal to some body. During the war the pestilent spirit ol talk weni so far is to .iay that a lady to whom he was engaged was in Paris, which account? ed for the length ol the siege. In other words; Vein Moltke, with 800,000 raerr at his back, did not bulge a foot in four.months in an effort to get at his lady-love, whom cir? cumstances had shut up in Paris. Ou - Tax Systems. Last year tie Assembly of the State of New York authorised t*e Governor of the State to appoint, three suitable persons to re? vise the laws fo: the assessment and collec? tion of taxes. Thereupon a remarkable, event occurred--the Governor appointed aa one of tho thre? the most suitable person for the position to be found in the United States, viz: Mr. Daniel A Wells, whilom Commis? sioner of the United States Revenue, and now victim of tae uurepublican honesty and ability with whbh he performed the duties of that office. Mr. Wells has lately made to the Assembly ol* New York a report, which, whether we regard the facts stated, the dis? cussions upon them, or the concisions pre? sented, is of the highest interest and impor? tance. We tnuice, therefore, no apology for laying before our readers a synopsis of thi3 remarkable production. In the Stale of New York, taxation ha3 in the last ten years advanced from twenty millions to fifty millions; in Massachusetts, from seven to twenty-one millions; in Ohio, from eleven to twenty-two million.?. Taxa? tion is heavier in Massachusetts than in aoy civilized community in the world. The tax? ation it. New York is SH 55 per capita, in Massachusetts SI i 35, in Ohio $8 72, and in Vermont S5 2?. The aggregate per capita taxatiou in the United States is on one cal? culation $21 83, and on another $16 09, the last figures representing, probably, the min? imum, which is greater than any modern na? tion has borne continuously in a time of peace. In the State of New York the rate of the aggregate taxes of the State, in 1869, was 2 43,. in Massachusetts 3.33, in the City of New York 2.27, in Rochester 6.70, in Bos? ton 1.53. lu Eogland it was 3.87 per capita. The tax systems in the United States, be si .es being defective in imposiog burdens ou production, are further so in respect to the valuation of property, real and personal. In New York i he State tax is apportioned among the counties on the basis ol their re? spective valuations of real estate, and tho natural consequence follows that the valua? tions do not represent the values. lu some counties tho real estate is reported at 20 per centum of iU3 real value; in the majority of counties ut fr?.rn 25 to 35 per cent, of the real value, and in the cities possibly at 60 per cent., which last rate is the maximum. The only lauds correctly valued are those of I nou-residents. The valuation of personal property is still more irregular. A careful study.of the nature aud classification of property has confirmed n fptAiM-i- h -.-mr-?--, i? ? -??.CTCUilJ ''the market value of the aggregate of land "and that of the aggregate of productive "capital aro equal;" aod that further, tn highly civilized aud densely populated .-tates the aggregates of property, usually classed ander the two heads "real" and "personal," are either equt.l or closely approximate to each other in actual value. Accept this lest, aud arguing from the known value of real estate, the conclusion is inevitable that a large portion of the personal property of every State entirely eludes taxation. In Massachusetts mid Connecticut, all personal property is hy the terms of the law subject io taxation, ai d the tux act has ju those ?tuiee be?n"mo3tsuc'c^roily-enforced. Yet, in the former State, it is believed that full 'i oue-thiid, and ai the latter forty percent, of I tiio personal property eludes taxatiou. The ' valuation of personal property in New York 1 is a mere semblance. In Massachusetts, in the year 1869-1870, the personal property was valued at five hun- i dred and threw millions, or (3 45 per capita; of Ohio at four hundred ami sixty millions, or $1 89 per capita; and New York at four hundred and thirty-four millions, or $1 00 per capita. An approximate vulualion of the personal property of New York ou inde? pendent data gives a total of a billion and a baif, and otter estimates reach a larger amount. Tlie inadequacy of the ussessed value is made still plainer by a statement made in tho Sew York Convention, by a member, who said that he could name thirty men whose aggregate wealth exceeded ibu whole assessed value of the personal proper? ly oj the State. The conclusion is that only one-liftli of the personal property in the Slate is subjected lo taxation. What, then, is the remedy fo- this great evil? We are interested in the answer to the question, for change utiuies and-de nob's fabula narra tur. The \e-.T Eugene Aram? The case o! the philological murderer, Rullnfl, who, ?is th? telegraph tells us, yes? terday expiated his crimed upon the gallows, w tr, indeed, an extraordinary one. But sumo of the newspapers assume that this is the only instance on record where a devoted student, with considerable pretensions to learning, has committed u capital crime and suffered the penalty thereof. They must surely have forgotten ihe melancholy hero of Bulwt r's romance and Tom Hood's poem, who was really a far more intellectual, as well as a more interesting, character than the man whom the Tribune wanted pardon? ed in order that he may finish his treatise on philology. Eugene Aram was boru at. Ramsglli, in Yorkshire, in 1704. His lather wa? a gardener In straitened circumstances, ami could' afford to give him but limned educational advan? tages: but he learned eagerly aud rapidly, pur? suing his Studie* even while engaged iu man? ual labor. He married early, and settled first at Netherdale, and afterwards ut Knuvesbo rough. us a schoolmaster. During his resi? dence at the latter place, in 1745, he had an Intimate friend named Daniel Clarke, a shoe maker by trade. This Clarke bought a quan? tity ol goods on credit in the year above mentioned, and soon afterward suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Aram was suspeoted, not of murdering Clarke, but of assisting him to swindle his creditors ; his premises were searched, some of the goods found, and he himself was tried, but acquitted for lack of evidence. Here the mat? ter dropped; the belief being that the missing man had fled the country to avoid paying his debts. Aram leit his family at Knavesborough and went to London, and thence to other parts of Bogland, still following his profes? sion of schoolmaster. He acquired a good knowledge of botany, heraldry, the Chaldee, Arabic, Welsh and Irish languages, and was engaged In the preparation of a great etymol? ogical work called "A Comparative Lexicon of the Engllsb, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Celtic Languages''-when one c'ark, miBty morning, two officers moved away from Lynn Academy in Norfolk. "And Eugene Aram walked between, Wiih gyves upon hts wrists." This was in 1759, fourteen years after the disappearance of Clarke, and the circumstances which led to Aram's second arrest were these : A skeleton had been accidentally discovered near Knavesborough, and the community, for Borne reason, inclined to think that it be? longed to the departed shoemaker. Aram's wire had beeD heard to say that her hus? band and a man named Houseman knew mor<*| about Clarke's affairs than they cared to tell, and the latter was accordingly confronted with ttK" resurrected bones and accused of the murder. He denied that they belonged lo Clarke, but Anally contessed that he had seen Aram and one Terry, kill Clarke, and could show where the remains were burled. Another skeleton was dug up, which House? man pronounced to be that ot the missing man, and Aram was arrested as we have de? scribed. His trial began at York. August 3, 1759, and he conducted Iiis own defence in a most masterly manner, attacking with won? derful skill and erudition the doctrine of cir? cumstantial evidence. But he failed to con? vince the jury ol" his innocence and was con demned to death. While under sentence he acknowledged his crime; wrote an apology for suicide, and then tried to pul his theory into practical operation, but did not succeed, and was executed three days afterward. THE Marlboro' Times is wroth at the com? ments of THE NEWS- upon some excellent paragraphs which we recently reproduced from its columns. If it will be any comfort to our irate contemporary, we will state that THE NEWS holds the identical political posi? tion taken by the Ttwes in its last article. But when the Times learns to say what it may consider necessary for its own vindica? tion, without giving currency, at second hand, in the form of an insinuation, to a malicious and dishonoring charge, long since publicly stamped as a falsehood, it ; will be qjiite time enough to ask of this journal a favor, even in the name of "jus " tice."
