There were from fifty to sixty prop- erty-holders in the South Diviston who respond- cd to the publistied eall, The meeting was called to order by Mr. J. 8. Waiter, who nominated the Hon, d. £, Kedale to preside. The nomination was made unani. mous. Mr. Kedzle, on taking the chair, referred to the alldmportant nature of the subjeot which the mecting bad sssembled to discuss, but, owing to the presence of so many others, for- bore to expresa himself on the matter, Mr., Walter suggested that a coninittee wos to be hieard from, Mr. Fo W, Peck, of the committes appolnted at the Palmer Housd meeting the otherday to get accurate fnformation in rexard to the al- leged excessive valuatlons, submitted the fol- fowing report: Tho Committes ind {hat the bnsincss property of the South Aido i# belng generally nsncesed thin year at its full cash valae; In some casen exceeding this, and In rome cases perhaps leas, Aninetances, mAY bo_numed the Sherman Housn, nasewsced ot 300,000 inel year ut$154,000; tha northwest cornicr of Market and Monroe streels, asecesed thi year at &15, 000 Iast yoar nt £13,0005 the noethe west corner of Ciark and Adams, assesncd at §107, 000, recantly sold for 110,000, Otlice instances might be civen, out they would be mainly hased on Mr.” Rice, da- stating that no hed outsida reports, ns tha Asseseor, clined to give any fleures, made n probably meaning (hat he personally bad not'aupervined the asscramsnte mudo and roturned by his deputles or asaistants, ‘Fhe Commiltae wora unabla 1o gei any definite information regnedine the valuationa placed tpon the residence portions of the South Slde, but arc Infornied that thore in & gencral increa from 00 to 200 per cent uvor that of tast year, but prob- sbly not & proportionate incredse to that of the buninesn sections.

The valua- tions placed on the othor and outside towns are similar to those of [ast year, eo farss tho Com- mittee has been able to ascertain, MR, PECK ADDED that he could not sce but one remedy. Mr, Rice waa pretty well armed and equipped with the statutes behlud him, The remedy was to induce the other Astessors to Increase their valuations to correspond with Mr, Rice's, If that falled, thera was the County Bourd to ap- eal to, and he had hopea that the Board would, it view of the glarlug metgmlmu o the assess- ments, give the Bouth Bide property-holders Justice. Mr. Rice, with the statute definition of * fafr cash values,” clearly haa the law on his side, and it would be o dangerons thing to seck to override the law on the plea of a necesslty of public policy. Mc saw 1o escane from unjust, disproportioned taxes, but {nthe remedy pro- posed. 3 Mr. MeNelt was called upon to farnish in- formation regarding asscssments on the North and West 8liles, and roported that, after calling upon the tWo Asscasors, hie found them to be ahout the same ns they were last year. Mr. Rice had stated to him that he had mode no nascssments, and could piveno information until the books wero returned, when they would he open to ruhflc fnspection. Ifere Mr. MeNell toted at length from an interview with Mr. tee In Thueaday’s TRIDUNE, in which the As- sessor cxplalned”the course he was pursuing. Mr, McNetl sald the custom was for the dopu- ties to nssess, and the Asscssor nmever alterod thelr figurcs unless errors were clearly poloted out, Tho books were to be open to publie inapection, to Lo sure, but the time that would bo given for thal luspection wauld be too short to avall anvthing, Mr. Rice, continued Mr, McNoil, was wiiliug tobet that the County Board would not ralso lis assess meat, beeause it would bo 8o fair that there woudd be no foult to find with it. Tho West and North Blde Assessgrs wero cunrtcous, fur- pished all information requested, and stateg, in particular, that business property had been ralsed abouit 10 per cent, while there had been o corresponding decrease In auburbun Jots. Mr. Drake wanted to hear from Mr. Durlek- son.

On the Bth of July the Kehel rear-guard, under Ktoart, was driven out of Hagerstown,with conslderable Toas and on the Oth all that was left of the Rebe army wss concentrated In position belween Wiltiameport and Falfing Water, cover- fng the crossings of the river at both places, Tee ruffered neverely fu the retreat to the river. The Federal cavalry made several thousand uriconers, eaptured ard burned bundreds of bagearo-wagons, and In- flicted heavy loss on the enemy, The Nouth Mountains hal Leen ousked by both arinies, and they were §n the strip of territory between thein and the Potomac, Lee stoud at bay July 9% e cotild retreat no further ot aceount of the con- ditton of the river. Ihiring the Rebel retreat, there had been heavy rains, and when the Tebe! nrm!v reachied the “Potownac, they found it so swollen as to be wholly unfordable, and therr pontoons were not constructed until five days alterwards. Lee’s cummuniestions with the South were thus Interrupted, endangering the safety of s army, The — dificulty of procuting ammunition and substsi. ence becamne very great; the swollen river stopped the " working of the neigh. boting mills. There was not amnunition enough in Lee's arny to have defended it for one dov's fighting. The advance guard of Meade's army confronted Lee's furce from the Lotir the Rebels reached the river; but the maln body of the Federa) army was held back for some unexplnined reason, and was not in line facing Lee until the 12th of July, What was Meade dotug from the Sth to the'13th of Ju!ii “lliflld he not nttack on the 1uth and 13th1 He knew the condition of Lee's army, and saw that {t was caught in a trap, riser behind it, and no tneans of ford's cavalry (which Included the FEighth 1llinols) had destroyed the. Hebel pon- toons at Fallluz Waters ow . thé "6th of July, and had, after a_sharp combat, fn- fllcted severe loss on (ien, Imboden, who had reached Willlamsport with the Robel traws on the rame day. For some juscrutable rearon Meade dit not arrive in front of Leeuntil the 1dth of July, but he made uv attack that day, and hu looked fdly on all of the 15th at the Rebels, who were workinu Hke beavers bullding pontoons and Ecn(u their wounded and bag. gaze across, But w ? A1l nat Meade attack! Sinee the hattle of Ge |(y-lvurg he had recefved more than 40,000 relnforcements, and abund. ance of amthuuition aud supplies of all Kinds.. On the night of the 189th of July—ten davs after the closs of the greut battle—Lee’s army began to cross the Potemoe, Eweli’s corps fordicg the river at Witltameport,—the Poto- mae haviog sufliciently subsided,—while Long- strect’s and Hill's vorps crossed upon the re- canstructed bridge near Falling Waters, where most ol the train bad previousiy passed. The movement was very tudiogs, owing to the condition of the rouds, und wus ot com- pleted until 1 p. m. of the 141h, when the last of the Rebels were over, and then they destroved the bridze. Ou this lnst day, Hill's rear-guard was vigorously assalled by Klipat- rick's cavalry, with some artillery,wwho captured two Kebel gins and 1,500 prisoners, This was all the nssault that Meade permitted. The uestion recurs, What was Meade dolug from the Uth to the 18th of July with his reinforced army of 90,400 to 100,000 flushed, vazer men? Had Meade forced the fixhting during rhose preclous days, and pushed bls sdvantagoe as Grant, or Blierman, or Sheridan woull most certulnly huve done, not a man of Lec's army could hiave_escaped death or capture, It would hiaye been more than a Waterloo; it would bave Leen o Sefan.
