THE QUESTION OF TAXING BONDS
IN MAINE.

A letter from Augusta says; The Sen.
alto has disposed OF the question of exempt.
ing United States Bonds from municipal
taxation by a unanimous vote, by asking
that Congress will allow the several States
10 provide for tho taxation of National
bank stock in the municipalities in which
such stock is owned, The House will un.
doubledly eOueur in this action. Mr.. Nor.
Tis, Of Portland has submitted proposition
in this branch which provides for the reg.
istration OF all bonds ia which exemption
is claimed, tho Setsru Of the same to the
State Treasurer, and the crediting to the
several municipalities, in payment of State
taxes, 4 per cent. on the amount, and the
refunding to the State by the United States
Treasurer the aggregate Of these amounts
He shows that exemption is not properly
claimed on more than one.fourih of the
whole amount Of bonds issued, aud that il
paid in FIVE years, the Government refund
ing Il per cent on tue amount exempted
will gain $40 SIS on the SlO0 il paid al
maturity. SlT04JS. lie estimates tha
bonds to the amount of 81 ,OOO, 600 are held
in the City of Portland, while exemption
from taxes is claimed on but $50 900, be,
iOg bnt one eightieth part, and it is moi
probable that such exemption is claimed
on more than one quarter Of tho wholC
amount of bonds issued.

As the Pioneer pqper NIL in this valley,
aud rs tho starting point OF branch Of en-
terprise, which must hereafter receive II
Urge development, tho Fort Moigs Mills
arc worthy Of especial notice. +. H
The first mill erected by tho irm for the
manufacture Of wrapping paper. was built
at Perrysbnrg, near the site Of Fort Meigs,
from which it derives It's name Of national
celebrity. The early stages OF this enter.
prise were marked by local difficulties,
which to men of less resolution would
have proved ruinons. That evil, however,
was simply ayertod by the business tact
and energy oI It's proprqiurs, and their el'
forts have beeu crowned with ample snc-
cess Of which tho Manince. Branch of lhc

Boiler for generating steam to- boil rags.

wing adjoining the steam blsoching tubs.
! Tho Rag. warehouse is in u detached

machinery Is driven by water power, witch

The several departments OF tho mill will
furnish employment for 30 persons. Tho
total cost Of this establishment viii be
about $4,000, which, when considered in

The attention Of the Republicans Of Ohio is
most earnestly invited to this call, In the hope
that It will receive their prompt attention.
The campaign of 1868, in tho issues it involves,
Is one of the most important we have ever been
called upon 20 engage in, Many Of the questions
growing out Of the war are unsettled. Their
proper settlement depends entirely up0r the Re
publican party, aud our defeat in this campaign
viii be the surrender or the Government into the
hands Of the party which brought on the war.
Shall the destructive policy OF that patty again
become the policy Of the natonS
We must judge our opponents not by their pres.
ent professions alone, but hy their past actions.
The same influence which in 1861 precipitated the
rebellion, aud for four years waged treasonab bic
war, still rules its councils, and will shape its
policy should II return 60 power, In illustration
of this We have the actian Of the majority of the
present General Assembly, in reScinding the rati-
hcau0n Of the Constitutional Amendment aud tue
proposed inStru ctiOnS 20 our members of Congress
TO vote for the repeal OF the Reconstruction acts,
We must have patience in the labor Of Recon-
struetion. 1t is not the wolk Of day. The
machinaticnS of a perhdious Executive, aided by a
powerful and determined party largely composed
Of defeated rebels have served to delay the exc
cution Of the wishes Of the loyal ajority of The
country, but cannot prevent il il we are faith
ful to our trust in the future as we have been in
the past.
Reverses may meet us in The execution Of our
policy now, as they did during the war, but they
must not cause US 10 falter in the course marked
out, RATHER Shnuld they nerve US TO renewed Cu-
ergy and moro determined effort
The result of last falls election has beeu most
happily modified bv the recent glarious victOry
won by the gallant Republicans Of the Eighth Dis,
triot. Let their spirit animate all the Districts,
and the campaign OF 1858 will be as cheering il
its results as those Of 1853 aud 1854
Very truly, your friends in the cause.

The plaiuliG by his petition, sought 70 enjoin
the defendant as Clerk Of the Court Of common
Pleas Of Wood County, from recording the abstract
Of Tive vote ir said county upon the question Of tbs
removal bf tho cOunty-seat from l'errysburg 10
Bowling Green, under the act Of March 10, 1896.
(Yol. 63 .. j.. 5S and 90 Upon demurrer to
the pdtitVn Held:
f. That allegations Of fraud and iIItgaIitt IN
conducting the election constitute no sufficient
ground for such Injunction. Wrongs of such a
nature can be inquired into and redrossed only by
means OF contest Of the election, pursuant tothe
provisions 6f the act Of April is, 1881 Is. q. ST.
1881.
2. Though said net in terms removes the coiin-
ysea To the to,cn OF Bowling Green II is not
dcred nvuli or imperative by the fact that Bowl
ing Green is, under the Towns and Cities act Di
1859, an mc0,7proicd uRage The Legislature Is
to be understood as using tho word Den In its pop
ular sense.
3. Looking to the substance rather thau to tlc
form of this net, Il is clear that It's fifth section ia
in the nature of proyisp. qualifying the terms OF
the second; and reading both these sections To-
gcther, II is apparent that The legislative intent
was, that the first section should not 50 fke effect
as to remove the de Ircio county seat from z rrys-
burg until suitable bull ugs for the transaction ol
public business should be crested at Bowling
Groen. .... .,...
T.. The first section enacts that the removal
shall take place after effect shall have been giten
90 It's terms 80 hereinafter prophef" by this ref
crcncc to the second and filth sootons, which pre-
scribe when the first shall take elleot tluse
tiuus ara virtually interpretations into the first, 50
that the adoption Of the first section by the electors
of the county, necessarily implies an approval and
adoption of the terms aud conditions contained IN
the sections thus referred to- I..t
8. The fifth Sectiun is not therefore, repugnant
tn the provisions of the Constitution, which rd-
quires that all laws for the removal Of county seats
shall before takihg effect, be submitted to the tec-
tors of the county, and be adopted by majority
vote of such electors; is the actiuvalid, though
by its terms the frat section only required IL
be thus submitted.
9. The validity of the act is not affected by the
fact that il is to take effect UPON specified con-
tingcucy, and at time not definitely fixed.

solved and petition dismissed.
