A Wood, grand comman der of the Indian war veterans, in. it is said, almost guro'tobe'diKlitirrcd on accomit of allcRcd IUpkhI practices in the pension bnsiiiens. The ofllciuls aiuVthoito who liavo knowlodKO of his oase are certain that tlio chartfc against him will 1 tuHtaineil. It is ost i mated that tlio totnl value of tumble jirojKirty In (liia alntn ac cording to the asHCBHiiicnt just com pitted, will be 1175,000,000. Tlie Government ceunus of 1D00 placed the actual value cf farm jiroiierty alone at 1172,000,000, so tliis ansiHsvd valua tion, should It prove to lie. as high as expected, will not be one-third of the actual value. The public oxjieniui is the same, whether the asHCKHed value be high or low. Tlio lower the assessment, the higher the rate of levy. For tlio looks of things, it in bettor to havo a liifc'li valuation and a low rate of levy, and the sooner that end Is accomplished, the hotter it will be for peopie who havo property they wish to sell to new-comers from the East - A low valuation and a high rate of levy la not an advantage In trying to sccuro the imrniaiiciit location of homeseekers.
