BR1T1sH CLAIMS To OREGov.-Says the Philadel-
phia Ledger We admit that Britain has repeatedly
claimed and maintained rights in this territory if
right and aggression synonymous. Itclaimed, by
virtue of discovery by Drake, who the ter
ritory, and being pirate, whose life was due to the
gibbet of any civilized nation could have conferred
no right if he had. 1t claimed by convention with
Spain, which expressly reserved all territorial juris-
dction, and subsequently ceded all such right to u.s.
And it now claims by similar convention with US,
convention WHICH expressly denies to it any such
jurisdiction And Britain has maintained rights in
this territory. How 1t maintained the convention
with Spain by encouraging its subjects to settle there
and by force of arms in its war with Spain, which
began in 1903, and continued till 1909 and by an
alliance with Spain against Napoleon from 1909 till
1915, during which PERIOD Spain contending for
sence at hOme had leisure to examine and resist
the encroachmens of its ally in distant colony and
by force of arms against in the of 1872 and
by the convention Of 1918, which merely allowed a
settlement to its subjects has violated by military
occupation and legal jurisdiction and by careless
short-sghted unstaesmanlike, unjusifable indifer-
ence to the characteristic perdy and rapacity Of the
British Government. In short, these British rights in
the territory, which are rather wrongs, have been
maintained by British force and fraud, ard permitted
by American blindness. And now, when our eyes are
at last opened domestic traitors set up these British
aggTessiOns rights against us

New Taxes in Maryland.
lia Ledger SAYS

Ibe TnIIduelp pnIa Ledger says.
We learn from the Baltimore papers that the bill
pending before the Legislature of Maryland, subject
ing all bonds notes. sealed bills and bills of exchange,
500, to taxation, has passed both Houses, and
having probably this received the signature of the
Governor, is law. This is one of the most whole
some acts of Legislation that have had the grati
cation of recording for a long time. No man Will
deny that the landed interest every where has been
subjected to unjust exactions in raising State
revenue. Real estate is looked to the great
source of taxation, and from the foundation of
the Government, in most of the States, has
been made to pay heavily; while many rich and
growing interests have passed almost wholly free.
So long 1t is generally admitted that it is property
and not persons which should be drawn upon for the
support Of government, we see no reason why the
merchant, holding and bills TO the amount of
thousands upon thousands of dollars should be passed
over entirely to reach the farmer and the mechanic
his house and lot and make these bear the brunt
of the cost of government which protects alike the
person and property of all We would have the tax
laws made to apply to all property, far possible,
IN whatever shape the property may exist But as
there is a senSltlveness with many TO the manner
Of reaching It, and objection made to the inqusitorial
character of laws which demand to know each indi-
viduars wealth, we look upon the law passed by
Maryland the next best and probably least object
ioEable, that can be adopted. tax this floating
evidence Of personal property wi in Maryland, 1t is
estimated produce at least half million of dollars,
and that extent will Tighten land of its burthcns.

The EXPENSES or THE WHITE HoUsE.-The editor of
the Lancaster Iateaigencer, writing from Washington
says By the way, do you know that all the expenses
of the WHITE HoUsE-servants, entertainments, and
the host Of incidental contingent expenditures-are
sustained out of the salary of the President 1t is
fact, of which, until to-day, entirely ignorant
Many persons believe that the Presidents salary,
$4,000 per annum, is very abundant; but when the
great mass of visiters is recolected-when the fire.
quent levees, dinners, entertainments, &c. con-
sidered-it soon dwindes away, and there is abso-
lutey nothing left for the Presidential chair but the
empty honor. President Tylers expenses in sixteen
months were over S38 600, and he left for his farm
on James River, Virginia with barely enough out of
his last years salary to pay expenses Gen. Jackson
came here with $4,000 of his own money, and after
eight years service in the Executive Office left for the
Hermitage with less than his travelling expenses
These facts which to be true; and they are
very painful facts

MAPLE SUGAR.-My manner of making sugar is,
to have tubs, and all connected with sugar-making,
clean and sweet. My next object is to boil as soon
possible after the sap has run from the trees In
clarifying, use for 30 lbs of sugar one pint of skim
med milk put into the syrup when cold and put over
moderate fire until 1t rises. which should occupy 30
or 40 minutes, then skim and boil until it will grain
after which turn 1t into tub and after two or three
weeks bore hole in the bottom of the tub, and turn
little cold water and in few days the molasses
will drain out, and leave the sugar dry, light and
white. ALFRED FITcn
We can bear testimony to the excellence of Mr..
Fitch's sugar, having eaten it at his house with
strawberries and cream and it exhibited at the
State and Monroe county Fairs. The operation Is
simple and effective, and well worth the notice of
gar-makers.-GeneSee Farmer

A FORTUNATE REcovERY.-A young lady of Phila-
delphia few days since picked up pocket book in
Fourth street, near market, which She had reason to
suppose 10 have been just dropped by a gentleman
passing by She inquired Of the gentleman who pro-
we'd to be merchant from Tennessee, if lie lad lost
anything, to which be- with some surprise at the in
qury, replied in the negative. The young lady re-
peated her inquiry and suggested that he should satisfy
himself by examining. On doing this he suddenly
stared and declared himself ruined man, for he had
lost his pocket book. The book handed to him by
the lady On recovering which the gratitude Of the
stranger unbounded, and on the young ladys posi-
lively refusing to accept portion of the money, he
insisted on presenting her with gold watch, which
was declined The strange merchant, however, forced
upon the lady two notes of twenty dollars each being
all the loose money in his pocket. The pocket book
contained $4,000
Unfortunately, it didn't occur to the gentleman,
we suppose, that the lady was young, handsome and
a candidate for matrmony.

BRUTAL VILLAIN Gardner c. Hiscox, who
followed an agency business in New York city, was
left BY worthy wife and family, in August last in
consequence of his unkind and abusive treatment of
them. Since that time he is known to have hired FIVE
young girls, from intelligence Offices and other places
where they were respectfully employed under the pre-
tence of engaging them seamstresses, at higher
wages than they receiving, each Of l0hon he has
ssfucsd and outraged. These young women were all
under twenty, and the youngest but fifteen years of
age. Two of his victims recently escaped to the
basement of his dwelling room occupied by re-
spectacle family-and made complaint. The asser-
tons Of the complainants corroborated by the
testimony of other victims, and it ascertained
that all the five fatherless girls, orphan
and the others children of destitute widowed mothers,
who had no means by which to seek redress.

cash she could get hold Of. She went off with a
young whom she had previously introduced into
her house a relative. She leaves family behind
