Give “Us EquaLTaxation,—Our State Jaw. provides that all property shall’be taxed for its full cash value, seasors, and the Supreme Court has de~ cided that all laws Gxempting property of any description from taxation are'uncofistitutional, We have frequently alluded to thé inequality of taxation in this State, and shown that the mountain Counties pay much more than their proportion of taxes to the State. This state of things will go on so long as the present system prevails, and our peopleshould demand of the next Legislature some relief. Let those coun~ ties which are paying these heavy tax~ es, unite:by their representatives in de“manding of the more wealthy counties a fair proportion of the revenue. This is no party question,and representatives. of both parties can unite in an effort to get justice for their constituents. A glance at assessments for the last year will show to what outrageous lengths many of the counties of the State have been swindled, and the greatest. swindling i this respect is done in the thiest sections of the State. In Santa Barbara. and other counties, for instatice, lands which brought in the market from’ $50 to $100 per acre, are assessed at $1 50 per acre, while in the mountains land is assessed for more than its cash value. A. correspondent writing front’ Placerville to the ‘Sacra. mento-Triqn,traly says: 90" In most.of the mining counties a val _ ue is placed on all property by the Assessor of more than four times that placed’ on the saine kind of property by Assessors in the Valley counties: For instance, cows, that here are. assessed at each, are assessed 1n San Mateo and’ some other counties at Seach. I have been ihformed by a geatleman in-~ terested) in the Grissim Block, in San‘ Franciseo, that it. Gost about $170,000 ; that at.any time it. would bring under the hammer more than $200,000, while it is ed and returned at only $40,000.’ The Carey House, in this city,cost some $25,000, and was sold the other day at. private sale for $4,500, while it is assessed at $5,000. : So long as the people consent to be swindled in this manner the practice will ‘continue. We have for several years eh pointing to this evil and dex manding relief, which may be obtained either from the Legislature, or an assessment. of property .in the county in the same manner that. assessments are made in other places. The establishment Of a State Board of Equalization has been urged, but-this the-Alia— prox, nounces unconstitutional. Let us see. The State constitution proyides that, “AlPassessors and collectors of town, county and State taxes shall ba elected by qualified voters of the district,county, or town i Which the property tax= ed forState, county or town purposes is situated.” The duty of the State Board of Equalization would not be to assess and collect, on each separate property, .but.simply to equalize taxes among thé several counties of the State, and to bay: what proportion of the bur den each ‘cbunty ‘Bball’ bear. The assessment may then follow as at present and be made by officers qualified under the provisions of the constitution. Then afterwards the assessment may be ap~ proved by the State Board. Of course those. counties. which have been. for years sbirking their share of State tax~ _ation will oppose the establishment of a Board of Equalization or any other measure calculated to bring about uniformity of taxation. The Legislature has the power to provide by statute for constitutien,.and by virtne of this powthat**Taxation shall be equal.and unis form throughout the State. All prop. erty in this State shell be taxed in'proportion to its yalue, to be ascertained Then follows the clause.in re_gard to the assessment of taxes and how it shall be made, upon each piece of property. We cannot for the life.of us. see where the Alta’s objection comes in PicKING, PACKING AND RIPENING ’Frurrs —Picking and packing autumn fruits requires both care and judgment. Fruit, says an exchange, should never be taken from the tree until it is fully ripe; and yet it should be plucked be‘fore it has begun to “mellow.” This is especially the case with pears, the gathering and packing of which requires especial care, This fruit ought always . to reach the market before it arrives at its best condition for being eaten. If so managed, it will give much better satisfaction to both shipper and dealer, and will be attended with the least possible loss to all parties. In packing appleé, clean boxes should always be employed—new. ones are always preferable; never pick until ripe, and never mix fallen fruit with-that taken direct from the tree; for,although ‘such ffuit on this coast is never wormy, asin the Atlantic: States, still, as a whole, it is in some way imperfect. . If marketed at all, it had better go in b@xes by itself, and should never be ‘kept for witter. The Boxés’ should ‘be packed as close as possible, and the top put on with a little pressure,.to-avoid any possibility of shaking during transportation. The top layer should be carefully put in with the stems of each ‘apple upward, and the bottom with their stems down, to take the pressure, Tt has been a subject of frequent re-made into the changes which apples, pears, .ete,; undergo after they havearrived at such a degree of maturity, as to separate of themselves from the . stems, or be in the ‘condition most favorable for being plucked. ,. The changes which take place in growing truit, have been tidre thorouglily ‘itivestigated, anc have led to most interesting }and important, results,.M.° Cahors,,.«: distinguished ‘French pomdlogist, has. quite definitely proven that ripe apples absorlh oxyge, and .give out carbonic acid ; and the higher the temperature ofthe place where they. are kept,.the4 greater will'be the amount of carbonic acid evolved. . ‘Hé has further shown that some kinds of fruit “where the process of bletting,.(decaying in spots, from being over ripe) takes: place, and without which such fruit is not edible, it is only after vitality has ceased, that the requi-~ site chemical changes for economical purposes takes place. Air then enters she cells, and acts first of all upon the sugar,.causing alcoholic fermentation; . with ' disengagement_of carbonic acid and formation ‘of alcoliol, Which, in its turn acts upon: the acids of the fruits, thus forming a true ether, which produces the aroma of the fruit. The air then attacks the cell itself, which bepeomes--colored-yellow by the azotized membranes of which it is formed.” The fruit examined and experimented ou, as above, was of the variety known as “service,” a fruit allied to the apple, which is sometimes eaten; but, as obtion has taken place. The ‘tmedlar,” a tree of the genus mespilus, also fit to eat only when'ir a state of incipient decay; was another upon which careful examinations were made. These varieties of fruit present pecular advan~ tages for sucli\ examination; and it would prove a. most valuable work for horticulturists, if some competent chem. ist. would turn his attention to this matter, and make a careful series of ob(servations and examinations into the changes which other fruits undergo after they have been taken from the tree. There is no subject connected with pomology on which there is so great need of definite and reliable information. . . Tue Sacramento river, between Knight’s Landing and.

In 1827 he was elected to Congress and continued there till "1841, 1841 he became Secretary of War under President Harrison, resigning after the succession of Tyler. ‘In 1847 he was elected to the United States Senate,and re-elected in 1852. In 1860 he was made the candidate of the Union party of the South for President, and since then he has remained in private life. LAY REPRESENTATION.—The General Conference of the Methodist Epis~ copal church has’ expressed its’ willing. ness to change the constitution of that body and admit, delegates from the laity, whenever it could be ascertained \with reasonable . precision that the measure was desired by the people. The question was submitted to the Methodist Church. to be voted on last June, and the returns from 165 districts give a majority of 44,878 votes in favor 210, or 91,044 in favor, and 46,166 against. Returns have not been received from 202 districts, which itis estimated would: poll 112,790 votes; :The point is now raised that the vote reported is not sufficiently large to decide the matter, as the Methodist church has. 706,818 adult members entitled to express their opinion on the subject, Some of the Methodist journals contend that a fair proportion of the votes has been cast, arguing from the ordis nary elections for Goverenor and State officers, Thus at the last election on the adoption of the amended constitution of New York, the vote on ‘that question was only 306,879, while thed votes cast for Governor at the sam time amounted to 730,821, and the whole number of legal voters amounted to 900,000. Mr. Boynton, the person who has saved so many lives at Cape May this season, was offered fifty cents by one gentleman, after he had been dragged Sately ashore.

Give “Us EquaLTaxation,—Our State Jaw. provides that all property shall’be taxed for its full cash value, seasors, and the Supreme Court has de~ cided that all laws Gxempting property of any description from taxation are'uncofistitutional, We have frequently alluded to thé inequality of taxation in this State, and shown that the mountain Counties pay much more than their proportion of taxes to the State. This state of things will go on so long as the present system prevails, and our peopleshould demand of the next Legislature some relief. Let those coun~ ties which are paying these heavy tax~ es, unite:by their representatives in de“manding of the more wealthy counties a fair proportion of the revenue. This is no party question,and representatives. of both parties can unite in an effort to get justice for their constituents. A glance at assessments for the last year will show to what outrageous lengths many of the counties of the State have been swindled, and the greatest. swindling i this respect is done in the thiest sections of the State. In Santa Barbara. and other counties, for instatice, lands which brought in the market from’ $50 to $100 per acre, are assessed at $1 50 per acre, while in the mountains land is assessed for more than its cash value. A. correspondent writing front’ Placerville to the ‘Sacra. mento-Triqn,traly says: 90" In most.of the mining counties a val _ ue is placed on all property by the Assessor of more than four times that placed’ on the saine kind of property by Assessors in the Valley counties: For instance, cows, that here are. assessed at each, are assessed 1n San Mateo and’ some other counties at Seach. I have been ihformed by a geatleman in-~ terested) in the Grissim Block, in San‘ Franciseo, that it. Gost about $170,000 ; that at.any time it. would bring under the hammer more than $200,000, while it is ed and returned at only $40,000.’ The Carey House, in this city,cost some $25,000, and was sold the other day at. private sale for $4,500, while it is assessed at $5,000. : So long as the people consent to be swindled in this manner the practice will ‘continue. We have for several years eh pointing to this evil and dex manding relief, which may be obtained either from the Legislature, or an assessment. of property .in the county in the same manner that. assessments are made in other places. The establishment Of a State Board of Equalization has been urged, but-this the-Alia— prox, nounces unconstitutional. Let us see. The State constitution proyides that, “AlPassessors and collectors of town, county and State taxes shall ba elected by qualified voters of the district,county, or town i Which the property tax= ed forState, county or town purposes is situated.” The duty of the State Board of Equalization would not be to assess and collect, on each separate property, .but.simply to equalize taxes among thé several counties of the State, and to bay: what proportion of the bur den each ‘cbunty ‘Bball’ bear. The assessment may then follow as at present and be made by officers qualified under the provisions of the constitution. Then afterwards the assessment may be ap~ proved by the State Board. Of course those. counties. which have been. for years sbirking their share of State tax~ _ation will oppose the establishment of a Board of Equalization or any other measure calculated to bring about uniformity of taxation. The Legislature has the power to provide by statute for constitutien,.and by virtne of this powthat**Taxation shall be equal.and unis form throughout the State. All prop. erty in this State shell be taxed in'proportion to its yalue, to be ascertained Then follows the clause.in re_gard to the assessment of taxes and how it shall be made, upon each piece of property. We cannot for the life.of us. see where the Alta’s objection comes in PicKING, PACKING AND RIPENING ’Frurrs —Picking and packing autumn fruits requires both care and judgment. Fruit, says an exchange, should never be taken from the tree until it is fully ripe; and yet it should be plucked be‘fore it has begun to “mellow.” This is especially the case with pears, the gathering and packing of which requires especial care, This fruit ought always . to reach the market before it arrives at its best condition for being eaten. If so managed, it will give much better satisfaction to both shipper and dealer, and will be attended with the least possible loss to all parties. In packing appleé, clean boxes should always be employed—new. ones are always preferable; never pick until ripe, and never mix fallen fruit with-that taken direct from the tree; for,although ‘such ffuit on this coast is never wormy, asin the Atlantic: States, still, as a whole, it is in some way imperfect. . If marketed at all, it had better go in b@xes by itself, and should never be ‘kept for witter. The Boxés’ should ‘be packed as close as possible, and the top put on with a little pressure,.to-avoid any possibility of shaking during transportation. The top layer should be carefully put in with the stems of each ‘apple upward, and the bottom with their stems down, to take the pressure, Tt has been a subject of frequent re-made into the changes which apples, pears, .ete,; undergo after they havearrived at such a degree of maturity, as to separate of themselves from the . stems, or be in the ‘condition most favorable for being plucked. ,. The changes which take place in growing truit, have been tidre thorouglily ‘itivestigated, anc have led to most interesting }and important, results,.M.° Cahors,,.«: distinguished ‘French pomdlogist, has. quite definitely proven that ripe apples absorlh oxyge, and .give out carbonic acid ; and the higher the temperature ofthe place where they. are kept,.the4 greater will'be the amount of carbonic acid evolved. . ‘Hé has further shown that some kinds of fruit “where the process of bletting,.(decaying in spots, from being over ripe) takes: place, and without which such fruit is not edible, it is only after vitality has ceased, that the requi-~ site chemical changes for economical purposes takes place. Air then enters she cells, and acts first of all upon the sugar,.causing alcoholic fermentation; . with ' disengagement_of carbonic acid and formation ‘of alcoliol, Which, in its turn acts upon: the acids of the fruits, thus forming a true ether, which produces the aroma of the fruit. The air then attacks the cell itself, which bepeomes--colored-yellow by the azotized membranes of which it is formed.” The fruit examined and experimented ou, as above, was of the variety known as “service,” a fruit allied to the apple, which is sometimes eaten; but, as obtion has taken place. The ‘tmedlar,” a tree of the genus mespilus, also fit to eat only when'ir a state of incipient decay; was another upon which careful examinations were made. These varieties of fruit present pecular advan~ tages for sucli\ examination; and it would prove a. most valuable work for horticulturists, if some competent chem. ist. would turn his attention to this matter, and make a careful series of ob(servations and examinations into the changes which other fruits undergo after they have been taken from the tree. There is no subject connected with pomology on which there is so great need of definite and reliable information. . . Tue Sacramento river, between Knight’s Landing and.

In 1860 he was made the candidate of the Union party of the South for President, and since then he has remained in private life. LAY REPRESENTATION.—The General Conference of the Methodist Epis~ copal church has’ expressed its’ willing. ness to change the constitution of that body and admit, delegates from the laity, whenever it could be ascertained \with reasonable . precision that the measure was desired by the people. The question was submitted to the Methodist Church. to be voted on last June, and the returns from 165 districts give a majority of 44,878 votes in favor 210, or 91,044 in favor, and 46,166 against. Returns have not been received from 202 districts, which itis estimated would: poll 112,790 votes; :The point is now raised that the vote reported is not sufficiently large to decide the matter, as the Methodist church has. 706,818 adult members entitled to express their opinion on the subject, Some of the Methodist journals contend that a fair proportion of the votes has been cast, arguing from the ordis nary elections for Goverenor and State officers, Thus at the last election on the adoption of the amended constitution of New York, the vote on ‘that question was only 306,879, while thed votes cast for Governor at the sam time amounted to 730,821, and the whole number of legal voters amounted to 900,000. Mr. Boynton, the person who has saved so many lives at Cape May this season, was offered fifty cents by one gentleman, after he had been dragged Sately ashore.
