This action was brought to foreclose mortgage

the mortgage was recorded the property covered by
1t transferred the other defendant by Lormies
who had his deed recorded Immediately. 1t was
claimed that the deed did not take precedence over
the mortgage, for the reason that the purchaser
knew when he made the purchase of the existence
OF the mortgage in question He had been told, as 1t
appeared by the evidence introduced that there was
q mortgage on the place, but claimed that mere

plaintiff claimed that he knew enough to put him on

The BondhOlder Sits in His Easy
Chair.


General Butler is after the Bond.
holders, and proves they have not paid
their income tax. The Cincinnati
Enquirer states
General Butler has shown that the
bondholders have not paid one tenth
Of the tax which, under the Federal
assessment, they were required topay
upon the interest of their bonds.
Considering the extraordinary patriot
ism of the bondholders we were strong.
ly inclined TO doubt the accuracy Of
the above statement.
The charge is made by General But.
ler a gentleman whose loyalty cannot
be impugned and with whom, in com.
parison, the loyalty of E. D. NJ, of
the Cincinnati Gazette, is thrown far
into the background. He proves by
facts and figures that the bondholders
have not paid one-tenth of the income
tax TO whichthcy are under the law
subjected.
Who would suppose that these pa
triotic gentlemen-who in the hour Of
the governments distress were willing
to lend it money at twenty per cent,
with exemption from taxation in addi.
would endeavor TO deprive the
Government Of the small consideration
by way of taxation to which it was
entitledl
Inasmuch asthe Government knows
the exact amount of bonds out, il can
tell with accuracy what il ought TO
receive from the income tax upon
them. That ii has not received one.
tenth Of this sum is most unfortunate.
1t shows that the bondholder, after all,
is not that paragon of virtue and hon.
esty that we had supposed We are,
therefore, considerably distressed,
inasmuch Us wo had believed that the
bondholders cared nothing for any
such little consideration as monetary
value to himself, but only looked TO
the general welfare of the whole com.
munity. 1t is, therefore, the flaw in
the diamond which had hitherto not
been perceived. What "loyalist"
could have thought that this pink Of
perfection would ondeavor to deiraud
that Government Of its dues from
which he had derived all his profits
General Butler proposes to reach
our distinguished fellow citizens who
have been avoiding the tax, and the
only tax imposed upon them by the
Federal Government, in this manner:
He would imposea u tax OF ten per cent.
upon the coupons or interest of every
bond and empower and direct the
officers OF the Treasury, wherever 10.
Gated, who pay said bonds, TO deduct
from such payment, in advance, the
amount of the tax thus charged upon
them. This would give to the Gov
ernmont a revenue of ten or twelve
millions of dollars per annum, instead
Of the two or three hundred thousand
dollars which they are now receiving.
