It is of tho highest Importance to the
tax-payers of the Klghteenlh congres
sional district that ex-Mayor Thomas
Wilson, ol tills city, lie elected lo n seat
In theStatp Hoard of Equalization. That
ofllco Is In be illled In November, and If
the tax-payers of the district consult their
own lnterels hi Ihe premies lliey will,
for the nonce, put aside political consid
erations and unite upon htm.
It cannot be denied that the properly
of Southern Illinois pays nn undue pro
portion of State taxes. This U so be
cause our ases?ors strictly observe the
letter of the law governing assessments
and value our taxable property at Its
cash value, while the assessors of North
cm and Central Illinois approximate the
cash value, and then divide the amount
by three. During the last session of the
Board of Equalization Northern members
admitted this tact, nud maintained that
the valuation was high enough.
Evidence that such a method obtains
up North, is furnished by the great Chi
cagotlrc. It was shown by u carefully
prepared statement that the property
burned was worth one hundred and ten
million ol dollars; yet the entire city ol
Chicago and all of Cook county, with
their larins and town lot, their building'.,
their cash, bonds ami personal effects,
were valued, for the purposes ol' taxa
tion at only $!K),000,iKiO.
It may he urged tint "I hero U the
law; it requires n fair cash valuation,
and the honest assessor has no discretion
In the matter." Anil this we admit.
There's the law, it is true; but eiHtom
makes law as well as legislatures. I'n-
derthe latter authority our Northern
and Central Illinois assessors have acted
for many years, mid not one' of them
will agree that he has disre;ardeil his
oath, or hi any other manner soiled his
conscience.
Tho newspaper of Southern
Illinois, and especially of this city, have,
by the publication of comparative tables,
shown the over-valuation of our
projicrlty time and again ; and have
apiicalcd to thoso Interested, to elect as
sessors who would apply the needltil
corrective; but the proofs and tho ap
peals were alike in vain. Year after year
our taxable property, and conspicuously
our well Improved or wholly unimproved
real estate, was given u valuation that
placed it nearly or quite one-htiudrcd per
centum above the value of like prop
erty north; and to u like extent
placed an undue bunion upon the shoul
ders of its owners. .So manifestly high
hate our assessments been, at times, that
northern members or tho Hoard or Equal
ization, moved by a simple sense of Jus
tice, have voluntary, without solicitation
from any quarter lowered it from
llltecu to forty per cent. The sue
ceedlng assessor, however, Ignorant ol
the rule that obtains In the northern
portlou of the, State, almost In
variably restored the old llgures, nud
(bus brought back upon our tax payers
the burden of which a magnanimous
boanl had voluntarily relieved them.
This lias been the experience ol Alexan
der county tax payers, and the property
owners of but lew counties In Egypt, we
dare say, have escaped the same duplets
ant experience.
Since- it is manliest, then, that the re
lief to which we are entitled, cm not be
obtained through our several county as
sessors, there seems but one sensible and
feasible eour.-c to pursue: Elect Hon,
Thomas Wilson lo the Statu Hoard ol
Equalization. His service in tho board
four years ago furnishes an ample guar
autre that lie can and will cure, In a great
measure, the evils growing out ol heavy
over-assessmonts by our county assessors-
Alexander county boasts of an asessor
thai Is well qualltled for nn Intelligent
aud satisfactory discharge of the duties
tho law "aud the facts" impose upon
him ; but he has not been tried. Should
he prove hlmselfliilly equal to the occa-
slou, we may safely assume that
a large majority ol our Southern countle3
have not, In the selection of their assess
ors, been equally fortunate. There will,
therefore, beyond alt peradveuture, be an
Important trust to conllde to the keeping
of our member, In reference to Southern
Illinois assessments. It is not probable,
It is scarcely possible, that, by concert of
action or otherwise, the average of South
ern Illinois property for 1S70,
will fall below that of 1875.
If this should be the case, our
member would; In applying to us the
average of tho State, leel called upen to
secure a general reduction or not less
than Irom 10 to 80 per cent.
io man In southern Illinois more
fully comprehends the situation than
Hon. TJiomes Wilson of Cairo; no man
would work more industriously and ier-
severlngly than he, aud no man could
urge the rights ol his constituents in lan
guage more terse and convincing. Hence,
we conclude with the remark wo em
ployed at the outset, that It is of the
highest Importance to the taxpayers ol
the Eighteenth congressional dlstrlct,that
Hoii.Thomas WlUon, ol Alexander coun
ty, should be elected to a seat hi the State
Hoard ol Equalization,

The belief Is expressed In the "call" to

Without giving expression to nuy opln

J. Mi'Caiitnkv, Ksij., the Metropo
lis veiretudinariau, is very severe
upon Col. C. ,M. I'errlll. Tho colonel's
ollence seems to have been that he went
to the State senate at a time when .Mae
was of the opinion that tho welfare or
the commonwealth and the people called
for n presence there. To Imperil the
good of the State and disregard the
ivlhes nl the sovereign people, con
stitute an offense that Mau conceives
that ho ha no right either to forgive or
forget ; hence lie "goes for" I'errlll on all
sorts ol occasions and pretexts.
Tho recent shooting of Echols by Du-
poyster reminds Mac that Echols Is the
man who, In 172, was a delegate to Ihe
senatorial convention at Golcoinl.i. and
disregarding his Instruction, sold out to
Col. Ferilll lor a price. This sale and
the perversenevj ol the .whole I'ulakl
county delegation, gave to I'errlll, Mc
Cartney's chance to go to tho senate.
This was enough. In that very act the
Republican party separated from Met urt-
ney; ami, without hi guidance, it wan
dered into by aud forbidden paths. Ho

Thtre have been no loud calls for John
that we have heard ; but, on tho contrary,
there are a good manv strong whl-pcr-higs
among the Illinois Republicans to
the ollect that six years of Mich a sen
ator Is quite as much as
the Stato and tlie parly can

dressed and ready to receive company,
and If by any chaiico he Is not nominated

himself In the Hlg Mutldv, where, in isol,
he proposed to bury "Lincoln' hirel
