The Price of Real Instate.
Editor Palatka New?.
I wish to call your attention to a reso
lution passed by the city council on the
30th day of April last, in reference to the
assessment of taxes by our state assessor,
for the county of Putnam. These reso
lutions, are, under our state laws, a mis
demeanor covered by our statute, a
slander of title in connection v. kii value
of property, called real e.-tate. These
members of the city council ventuie to
say that real estate holders are asking
exhorbitant prices, and hindering the
growth and prosperity of the city. In re
ply to this, does the city council know
that any undue influence brought to lear
either with the tax assessor or with the
ocunty commissioners, by outside corpo
rations, is sufficient reason and legal ob-
jf.ction in our courts for refusing to pay j
the state, county and city taxes. Do
these ignorant and arogant councilmen
know that the principles of government,
even in the most severe monarchical
powers of Europe, no such ' Tumption
of power. No emperor wou.u dare to
put a price on any property of any sub
ject of his kingdom.
There is nothing so sacred to man in a
republican government or in any other
government, as his right to his own pro
perty and his right to its ownership and
its value. If the assessor of the county
makes a mistake on his assessment, which
every one is liable to do, is it a right of a
city council to meddle with it? These
resolutions are an insult to the intelli
gence and integrity of the board of coun
ty commissioners who are selected by the
people of the county at large.to do justico
to all parties, particularly in reference to
taxes.
It is presumed that real estate, in its
tax valuation, is placed on the tax book
according to its income. Wild lands in
some cases may be valued for sale at $ 1.25
per acre, but when sold and improved
the assessor returns it to suit the income.
This resolution of council comes under
what is called the Agrarian laws of Rome
in ancient times, when it was decreed
that every man should have a share in all
the real estate of the country. The
fool family have left a great many
heirs of their estate in this country and
others, and in many instances, they get
a litt!" brief authority which turns their
heads and leads them into violation f
constitutional and rational government,
simply, from pardonable ignorance anil
imperfect education in relation to honor
able principles of social life and equality
of rights. If the tax assessor of this
county is incompetent for his position,
then the people of the county should say
so, but it is not the business of the city
council to insult his capacity. If the
county commissioners of this county are
not capable of doing the business before
the state law does not provide for any
member of any corporation to dictate as
to what they should do in any respect.
In this resolution, it is stated that "dif
ferent parties'' owning unimproved real
estate are refusing to sell the same or are
asking what would seem to bean unrea
sonable exhorbitant price. It is presumed
that this resolution conies from a city
eye-glass speculator, who wears leather
spectacles, with a one hole grindstone in
front of him, thinking that he is the first
big frog in the puddle and boasting that
he has ousted republican toads for better
or worse.
In the last election for councilmen, it
was supposed that a reform party would,
if elected, show a legislative ability in
the administrative necessitv- of the city,
but instead of this, adverse to republican
common sense power, ignorant or not,
we are fronted with a dictational resolu
tion utterly at variance with constitu
tional liberty.
In solution of this particular extravi
gance, we sum up a remarkable outlet
and detective insolence of what is called
the young democratic policy, which has
caused a failure in more particulars than
any one wishes to state in a conservative
democratic organization.

No Dispute About His Keeortl.
New York iun.
There is no pretense anywhere that
any charge affecting Mr. Blaine's char
acter is the outcome of political feeling,
of campaign excitement, or of partisan
malice.
Mr. Blaine goes before the country
wlliaiel on ins record, lliere is no con-
cealment. no evasion about it whatever, j
It is as bad as it can be, ar.d his support
ers meet it without reserve. He is dis- :
honest: he has himself, on the floor of !
the house, read aloud the written proofs !
of his dishonour. It is his loast that he '
has always been frank and open upon
this subject.
On this basis the republican party Jhas
accepted hir.i. He is the proper expo
nent of its morality, and with the com
pletest and f allest knowledge of him it
proposes to put him at the head of the
nation.

Macon Telegraph.
Some of the republican journals oppo
sed to Blaine are worrying themselves
and their readers about his religion. We
do not suppose that Blaine is troubled
with any great amount of religion, but
whether he is or not, the subject is not a
proper one -or political d s'".w-i n. II'

The latest- hli-. ; we have seen on ilu
point U from the lie v. James 11. R ').
pa-tor of the Congregational church of
Agnsta. Maine. He says:
Mr. Blaine's father was a Presbytet i:m
and his mother a. Catholic: that Mr. Blaine
"is not a Catholic, but a straiglitout New
England oitbodox Congregationa'ist."
The reverend
ntleman further says
that Mr. Blaine "has never been aChalh-
o since corning to man's estate," and
adds: "If as a littlo ehild he ook his
mother's hand anil walked with her to
church, why there is a good Protestant
day of judgment coming which will no
doubt purify as by lire the touch of that
mother's hand."
If Mr. Blaine does not take an early
opportunity to repudiate the language
and sentiment of this '"bloodhound of
Zion," which reflects upon his dead
mother, lie ought not to receive the vote
of anj- man with an honest soul, no
matter he belongs to any religious de
nomination or not. If Blaine believes
this of his mother, all the political and
personal sins charged against him by his
most malignant enemy, sink into insigni
ficance. liarely lo be Found.

An Irish republican has always been
almost as much an anomolj' on election
day as a colored democrat, and we do
notbeli.vo that the vigorous American
policy cry will make any exception to
the rule this vear.
