william NJ. Ifuuu,


To the Editor Of The E0ening TelegrGph:-You we'll
known independence, and the fact that the columns
of your journal are at all times open 10 an express
sion of "voces from the people," justify and en-
courage me in venturng 10 say few words in favor
Of gentleman who has many times offered the
shield of his body for the protection OF Govern
ment, when IL ruthlessy assailed by the trail
tors who sought its destruction. Approaching that
THE EVENING TELEGRAPHis is an independent journal,
do not, Of course lose sight Of the fact that you
have candidates to whose interest you are bound;
but as have ever found you, personally and as an
editor ready to espouse the of any who is
prosecuted, feel assured you will admit this hastily
written communication into your columns.
Enemies, political and personal, have raised
''hue and cry" against William NJ. Bum, the Re-
publican candidate for Register Of Wills. What for?
On what account? What has he me to merit
the crusade that has been instituted against him?
Can any one tell? So far as l am informed and
have watched the matter closely, there is absolutely
no basis for charge against either the integrity,
the moral character or the political fidelity of Mr.
Bum. 1t was charged against him that he obtained
his nomination by fraud, and that the convention
was ''packed." was member OF that convention,
Mr. Editor, and although not elected to it in the
interest of any particular person, was the friend
of Mr.. Moran; but must say il you will allow me,
that was never in a convention where the choice
of the members was more fairly and deliberately
made known.
Now. who is this Mr.. Bum? modest and rather
unassuming gentleman, who served the ordinary
time of apprenticeship to the business of a carver.
His employer sent him out into the world as a good
workman and an honest man, and Immediately
thereafter the Government called for troops to sus-
tain it against the Rebels who sought its destruction.
| Mr. Bunn as did thousands of other young men,
responded 70 this CALL and for three years fought his
way under the flag Of the Union, until, wounded
and in an almost dying condition, he came to halt

| Prison. on his return home, or shortly afterwards
he was elected as a member Of the Legislature, and
challenge any man to produce better record as a
| member than hs.
Mr. Bum seeks an ONCE for which he is alto
gether capable Brave in the army, he is in civil
life prudent and discreet and will ill the ONCE 70
which he aspires with credit TO himself and salts

JUDGMENTS AND MORTGAGES in 1868 the Legsla-
ture, in view OF the difficulty which was encountered
IN borrowing money at per cent. in competition
with the United States bonds-which were free of
tax and producing much larger interest-passed a
law exempting mortgages and Judgments not given
by corporations from all taxation except that by the
State The county of Lancaster, accordingly, in
obedience TO the law, levied no tax last year on
judgments and mortgages: the city OF Lancaster,
however construed the law as applying only to
mortgages and judgments for purchase money and
therefore insisted taxing all other judgments and
mortgages. The question has been brought to a
legal test before the courts of that county, and it
been decided that judgments and mortgages OF no
kind are liable for taxation, whether held security
for purchase money or by parties at second hand as
cisiOn will be read with great interest in all parts of
the State especially in this city, and will have ten
in this class of securities.

Internal Revenue Supervisors and Their

The following points of decision recently made
in the United States District Court for Miss issippi
Southern DstricD will be read with much disgust
by all classes of the business community, and can
be made the instrument OF much oppression in the
hands OF supervisors or their deputies In the inter-
nal revenue service. 1t arose in the case of STAN
wood vs. Green, and the points are "a supervisor
of internal revenue is entitled under the law to ex
anime the books and papers belonging to banks,
bankers, brokers, and banking associations and is
not bound to inform the owners OF his purpose in
making such an examination.
"Where a summons for the production of books
and papers has been issued by supervisor OF inter-
nal revenue, and such summons has been duly exc
cuted, but not complied with, United States dis
trct Judge may, upon application and proof of these
facts issue writ of attachment.
'"The eleventh section of the act approved July
90 1865 specifying the powers of supervisors is not
unconstitutional in giving them the right to examine.
such books and papers show the operation of
banks etc, with the dublic and are connected with
the internal revenue of the United States"

IF the object of Congress, in its law
to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment,
was not merely to protect all legal
voters equally and impartially, but,
in case of African voters, to protect
them in casting illegal votes, we think
some of the arrests made in this city
yesterday were well suited to accom-
plish that object. There is no dispOsi-
ton on the part of the whites to hinder
or prevent legal votes being cast by
the blacks, and no attempts have
been made having that end in view.
The Interpretation of the law Of Con-
gress sought to be given by the
Marshal is such as to encourage illegal
voting by the negroes, and to
deter all citizens from challenging
and judges from rejecting all negro
and Radical votes. This, doubtless
is in accordance with the wishes of the
lawmakers. We only desire at this
time to note the fact as anew instance
of usurpatiOn. We may hereafter dis
cuss the question whether the just
franchise laws of the States, not in
conflict with the XVIII Amendment,
may be legitimately enforced, so IS to
prevent duplicate or nonresident
votes by blacks as well as other people.
