Harford county Politics.

The biggest and the oldest family and polit-
ical quarrel we ever heard of, exists at present
among the Union men of Hartford county
The Regular County Union Convention was
held at Bel Air lately, and nominated ticket
with Chas j. BouIdin as candidate for Sheriff.
The Bel Air Americdn, the old Union paper,
conducted by son of Mr.. Bouldin, supports
the regular ticket The nominations being un-
satisfactory to Mr.. Webster and his friends, a
''mass meeting" was called at Churchville, and
another ticket nominated. They also started
a new paper to advocate their views and their
candidates, called The Hartford Union. But
the strangest part of the whole affair is, that
William Bouldin, son of the regular nominee
for Sheriff and brbther of the editor of the
"American,'' is the editor of the new paper
And so they have it. One son, with has paper,
supports his father; the other son, with has pa
per, pitches into" him. oas .na.e
The new paper makes a good appearance,
and seems to startwith fair share of adver-
Using. Success to the best paper and the best
candidates, we say. And if they are ON the
Regular Ticket, in Hartford as in Baltimore
county, then we say success to the Regular
Ticket. ..r .t..r

/. aTir,es Change.

Francis w. Pickens, who introduced the reso-
luton into the late South Carolina Convention,
declaring slavery abolished, was Governor of
the Palmetto State in 1861, and on the fall of
Fort Sumter, addressed the Charlestonians in
the following language ''We have humbled
the flag of the United States, and as long as
have the honor to preside as your Chief Magis-
trate, so help me God, no power on earth shall
ever lower from that fortress those flags, unless
they be lowered and trailed in a sea of blood. -
The change Of time work wonders
James L. Orr, the present candidate for Gov
ernor of the same State who was one of the
leading spirits in forcing her out of the Union,
four years ago and who always affected to des-
pise ''the peddling Yankees" has been brought
by the logic of events to say saa
'I am tired of South Carolina as she was.
court for her the material prosperity of New
England would have her acres TEEN with
life, and vigor, and intelligence, as do those of
Massachusetts Aa9a3 hs'ta9sT 81

Judge Emory.

We think it is not too much to say, that Balto
County has never had an officer who gave more
general satisfaction in his position, than Hon. D..
c. H. Emory, the present Judge of our Circuit
Court. He seems TO have all the qualities of
mind and heart, which specially fit him for the
important position he occupies. Though recog-
nized, wherever be was known as q man Of
sound practical views and thorough knowl-
of the Law he has pursued the practice of his
profession, quietly and unassumingly. He has
never allowed himself to be prominently involved
in the political issues which distracted the coun-
try, preferring to maintain more private posi-
ton, to obey the Laws and sustain the State
and National authorities in their efforts to sup
press the rebellion! Naturally of a practical dis
position, with a weIl-balanced mind, thoroughly
versed in all the principles Of Law by an active
experience of many years, he has now reached a
time of Life when we may suppose him to be least
liable to any influence of passion or improper
sympathy. No clique or faction can claim him.
He has no political friends to reward, no enemies
to fear. All these things, in an eminent degree,
qualify him for the administration of justice.
The Union Convention, which nominated bin
by reclamation a short time ago, for continuance
in the office to which he was appointed by Gov.
Bradford, expressed the wishes of large MAORI
ty of the people OF the county. Since acting as
Judge he has given no causef for complaint, but
on the contrary, has endeared himselfto the peo-
pie by his wise and firm administration of the
Law, and BY his friendly and unassuming de-
meanor toward all. The people will heartily
endorse his nomination at the coming elections
and we may Congratulate them that they have SO
worthy a man TO put in so responsible position.
The gentlemen connected with him as candi-
dates for the other County Offices, are like him
self, men Of integrity, honesty and ability
Messrs Harvey, Foster and Shew, have never been
before the people as candidates for County of
fee, but they are deserving men, who have
faithfully stood by the government during the
late fierce rebellion. Some men may have slight
personal objections to the old Board Of County
Commissioners. It cannot be expected otherwise.
But all must agree, that our County finances
have been wisely and economically managed, a
matter of great importance at this time of high
taxes. i17L 8 ~ uoo, ,si4'e-
A better Ticket could not well have been chos-
en-. The affairs Of the county will be safe in
their hands. Aud it becomes US as loyal men,
interested in our common, public welfare, 10 turn

E0r The Unin1l

am glad to see that Justice has come for
ward to solve the question that proposed in a
former issue Of the Union. His Language is near
~ verbatim to what have heard used in favor
of the action Of the County Board, for several
years past. "Justice" says there is law to tax
Real Estate and the mortgage on it, and that the
Commissioners are sworn to support the law.
have not read the law, but have read the
Constitution, and they are also sworn to support
the Constitution. Their oath or affirmation, as
the case may be says they shall Support the
Constitution and the Laws thereof :''-that u.s.
all Laws made in accordance with it. But this
does not mean that they are to decide for them
selves, as l have done, what is Constitutional
Law.
In looking over the annual report of the ex-
penses OF the county, see this item Counsel
for County Commissioners $780," $500 for one
and $500 for another. Now they do not decide
for themselves for they have counsel employed
By the county to act for them. / think one
Counsellor at $3.50 wonld be sufficient, and the
balance of the 500 might be applied with more
profit to the community in repairing County
Roads. But ! am getting off the question. /
did not say there was no Law for taxing mort
cages, but that 1t was not Constitutional to tax
both the estate and the mortgage. Taxing
the estate and the mortgage, is like taxing a
horse and his shadow, for there is no substance
IN The paper. The substance lies In the land and
its appurtenances.- ] iftf ia .Ct(}.
s s'Justice" says ground rent is not taxed, be-
cause the Lessee agrees 10 pay the taxes. What
IS the difference If the M6rtgagor pays the taxes
on the estate without an agreement, so that the
County gets the amount the estate is as
sessed at 7 II that is paid, it is all that is re-
quired. And it is unconstitutional, unjust& UNI
equal to levy any other tax, unless new levy is
made for certain purposes. For example:
4 is assessed at $4,000, rate s. cts-tax $50 90 90
with ground rent af $3.50, which would make
the Principal $4,000, exempt from taxation.
G is assessed at $4,000, rate 65 cts.--tax $4,000
Mortgage $4,000 - !" - g" 1880
s,.,,,a ~ $3.50
Now, II | am correct, this shows what effect
It has on The mortgage or mortgagor, in the way
