CORRESPONDENCE.
The Hartford County Railroad.

Mr.. EDITOR: Thinking it would not he
amiss to say few words in relation to the
Hartford County Railroad, l send the follow
ing:
First, would say to the people of Hartford,
especially to those who will be most benefit
ted by this road to come forward and con-
tribute willingly and freely to this enterprise
not with the feeling that they are laying so
much money out at dead loss for it is not
so. Even if they did not get one cent Of in
terest the first year, (Which is not at all likely)
they would not be the losers by such an in
vestment of their money; on the contrary
they would gain. 1t is in this way they
would gain Look at the immense quantity
OF produce that is wagoned down TO Balti-
more by way of the Bel Air and Baltimore
Turnpike. Consider the wear and tear on
horses and wagons, and the expense it is to
keep your wagons in repair and the necessary
team to do your work. Consider this, PEG
pie of Hartford; and when you have done so,
am sure that you will come to the conclu.
sion that railroads, Qor we want them through
all sections of our county) are the most es-
sential means of securing to us wealth and
prosperity, by the easy and cheap means of
transportation which they afford
These are only few of the many reasons
why this railroad is so much needed Take
coal az another item. Coal costs at the coal
yard from $3.50 to So 90 per ton. The freight
for wagoning this coal from the yard or dock
is from $3.50 to $500 per ton. Not that |
think this heavy charge for wagoning; on
the contrary think it cheap enough, consid-
ering the wear and tear on wagon and team
Now we will see what this coal can be brought
to US for by railroad. think l may safely
say that at the outside, freight and all, will
not be over $3.50; it may be under thai.
Now there is still another reason why it
will bring money into Hartford. If the rail
road is built, by whom is it to be built? By
the people of Hartford, of course. But the
people of Hartford only give the money to
build the road. Now they have got to hire
men to DO this work. In the meantime these
men have to live--to feed themselves and
horses Where will this money go? A very
small portion of the money subscribed to
build the railroad will be taken out of Har.
ford, but the greater portion of it will go into
the pockets four farmers and tavern keepers.
| would also call your attention to the vast
amount of travel between this county and
other places. This travel and the freight to-
gethcr is what combines to build up q rail-
road; to enable it to pay off its debt Then
the stock holders begin to realize their profits /;
they see that the road is going TO pay the in.
terest on their stock is increasing yearly, and
in few years the interest is equal to the
amount subscribed. Mr.. Editor, it is with a
feeling ofpridc that look upon the exertions
the people Of Hartford are making to secure
honor and fame for themselves as an industr-
Gus, intelligent and enterprising people; and
to secure wealth and prosperity for their chill
drcn. PUBLIC Coon.

THE LEe1sLATuRE'-In the Senate the bill
to authorize the Attorney General to insti-
tute suit to forfeit the charter of the Baltimore
and Hartford Turnpike Company, was amend
ed so rs to take effect August l., 1872. and
thus passed
The House bill to provide for census of
Hartford county, and to authorize the Coun-
ty Commissioners TO pay for the same, was
read the first time.
In the House petition was presented by
Mr.. STREET. for authority for the commission
ers of Hartford to subscribe TO the capital
stock of the Delta and Towsontown rail
road company.
A bill has been offered in the House to al
low the County Commissioners OF Hartford
to divide the election districts into voting
precincts.
Governor Whyte on Tuesday sent to the
Senate his veto of the bill "to extend the iu-
risdiction Of justices of the peace to assault
and battery cases." This bill was originally
intended for Talbot county alone, but was
amended so as to include Hartford and sever
al other counties. the Governor argues
clearly and forcibly that the bill is in antago-
nism to the 21st article of the declaration of
rights which is as follows:
That in all criminal prosecutions every
man hath right to be informed of the accu-
sation against him, to have a copy of the in
dictment or charge, &c, and to speedy tri-
al by an impartial jury, without whose unan-
imous consent he ought not To he found
guilty"

THE hartford COUNTY RAILROAD.

The work of canvassing for subscriptions to
the capital stock of this road is being actively
prosecuted, and the feeling seems to be gen.
eral that if the present effort should prove
abortive, the people of this portion of Har.
ford may make up their minds to trudge
YEARLY and slowly along through the mud,
for at least another decade. The charter of
the company, as we have before stated, pro.
vides that subscriptions may be made in land,
and when subscriptions are thus made, the
only cash outlay required will be So upon each
share. Let it be remembered, that no risk is
incurred by subscribing to the stock of the
road. If 100000 are subscribed, the road
will certainly be built, and if this amount can
not be raised, or the contract cannot be made
upon the basis of this sum, the subscribers
are free from any liability for the amount of
their subscriptions. Therefore, if You do
not feel able to subscribe in money, cut off
Il portion of your land and subscribe that
The remainder will be more valuable with n
railroad near it than your whole farm is now
without the road. With a railroad near your
farm q thousand and one articles which must
now be suffered to go to waste because it will
not pay to haul them so far TO market, can
then be sold without difficulty, Ifyou have
an apple orchard on your place-and no farm
should be without one-you know from ex-
perience that hundreds Of bushels of apples
some seasons are suffered to rot because you
I,n
haul them to the city, where they might be
sold. With railroad within easy distance
they could easily be converted into cash.
You need lime for your land. At present it
does not pay to haul it long distance A
railroad would bring it within your reach
You have expensive teams. Build the rail
road, sell some of your horses, and do your
farm work with oxen. They do not depre
which is the case with horses When they
are no longer able to render you service, they
can be fattened and sold to the butcher.
The terms of subscription are easy. You
are only required to pay out your money as
it is needed to build the road. Only So upon
each share can he demanded every thirty
days. Thus ten months will elapse before
the entire amount you subscribe will be paid
in AS soon as the road is commenced, an
impetus will be given to business and trade
in Hartford that will be refreshing in compar-
ison with the dizziness and stagnation that en-
istsat present. After you pay your first install.
nent, this increase of business will enable
you the more easily to pay the remainder
If the people of this section of Hartford desire
railroad, now is their opportunity. Donot
measure your subscription by your neigh
boris, but let each one do his best. and the
road will be built So mote it be.

The Wild Fowl Law.
DUBLIN, March.

DUBLIN, March, 1872
MIR. EDITOR: | am pleased to see that
our Legislature has repealed the odious and
oppressive law of 1870, in regard to shooting
wild fowl in the head waters of the Chesa.
peake bay, and passed an act which will give
the gunners of Havre de Grace and elsewhere
the right to gun on quite large field, by OBJ.
tanning license. The repealed act was ty.
rannical and oppressive, and was great
disadvantage to the citizens of Havre, with.
out adding either to the honor, dignity or in.
terest of the State. The citizens of Havre
will be no longer annoyed with the old oys.
tershell gun boat or the oyster police force,
but they can now shoot the delicious canvas.
back without fear of the gallant navy. The
citizens of our thriving little city deserve
great credit for their forbearance in submit.
ting to the arbitrary provisions of the late
oppressive act, and have shown themselves to
be law-abiding people. MARS.

THE BILL TO TAX MORTGAGES.

bill is now pending before the LegisM-
ture of Maryland to repeal the law which cx-
empts mortgages from taxation. The law
sought to be repealed was passed by the Leg
islature Of 1870, and met with universal APP
proval, at the time of its passage, as Just
and equitable measure, to equalze the bur-
den Of taxation, and give encouragement to
business enterprise. No complaints, so far
as we have heard, have been made TO the
Legislature by any considerable portion of
the people of the State that the law has failed
to accomplish the desired effect and the pro.
ceedings of that body, in this matter, are
therefore purely supererogatory
The practical operation of taxing mort
gages would simply be to compel every man
who gives mortgage upon his property to
pay double, and in some instances q treble
tax upon the same For instance, a proper
ty holder is assessed for the full value of his
land, ard pays taxes upon it. He raises
noney upon mortgage of his property,
and no matter what disposition he makes
Of this money-whether he builds new
barn, invests it in some other business or
pays his debts with tit is taxed the mo-
ment it is converted into taxable property.
The injustice, therefore, of compelling him
to pay tax upon the instrument of writing
which he gives as evidence of his agreement
TO repay what he has borrowed, when this
same amount will be taxed in another shape,
no matter how he uses it, is clearly apparent.
1t is urged by those who are in favor of
restoring the tax upon mortgages that it will
add to the basis of taxation. This is scarce.
ly valid argument. 1t certainly cannot be
right to make those whose necessities or bus
mess enterprise urge them to borrow money
upon mortgage to pay double upon their prop
crty, because hemoney they borrow cannot be
reached by the ordinary course of assessment.
Even if the law were amended so as to COM
pei the lender of the money to pay the tax
upon the mortgage the amount would inev-
tably he deducted by him along with the
bonus, or else stipulated provision would
be inserted in the mortgage by which the
borrower would assume the payment of the
lax.
The law as it stands, is based upon a
principle ofjustice and equality in taxation,
and ifany amendment is required, let it be
Of such n characteras will place the addition
al tax thus sought to be raised where it prop
erly belongs, and not impose double taxes
upon one portion of the community.
We hope the Legislature will not pass this
bill. twill, in our judgment, be retrograde
movement on the part of our State, and
though it may add few thousand dollars to
the basis of taxation, it will have the certain
effect of cripping business enterprise, and
retard the course of progress upon which
our State has just entered.

When it is considered that vast amount
OF the business ofthe Stateis transacted upon
borrowed capital, it is apparent that every
unjust restriction placed upon the use of this
capital for business purposes must inflict a
blow upon the commercial and manufacture
ing interests, and thus injure the best ener-
gies of the State
The law taxing mortgages is unjust, also,
inasmuch rs it makes those who are least
able bear more than their fair share of taxa
ton, 1t is the old, old struggle of capital
against labor, and the Legislature, in this as
in other matters, will do well to consider the
wishes and interests of the majority of their
constituents

THE SUNDAY QUEsTIoN.-Petitions have
been sent to the Legislature, asking modi-
tication of the Sunday law, so that restaurants,
drinking houses, beer gardens, theatres, &c,
may be opened after one o'clock, P. NJ, on
Sunday. The subject is exciting ripple
among the citizens of Baltimore A memo
rial against the proposed modification, signed
by Reverdy Johnson, John w. Garrett and
others has been published, and on Sunday
sermons in opposition to the project were
preached in many of the city churches A
monster mass meeting in opposition TO the
proposed modification was also held at the
Maryland Institute, in Baltimore, on Monday
night, when resolutions were passed and adj
dresses delivered by Hon. Judge Giles, Rev.
Mr.. Leyburn, Hon. J. Morrison Harris, Ex-
Attorney General Isaac d. Jones and others;
and committee was appointed to visit An
napolis, and present the resolutions of the
meeting to the Legislature.
We hope the subject will be discussed tenn
perately both by the people and the Legsla-
ture; and we cannot but express the hope,
however, that the law may be allowed to re-
main as it is at present.
