TAXING MORTGAGES The New
York Tribune urges the Legislature
of that State to pass the billrepeal,
ing the tax on mortgages, as recon-.
mended in Governor Dix's message.
After expressing the conviction
that it would be difficult TO find a
score Of intelligent men opposed to
the repeal in Now York City, the
Tribune remarks:
"Few conditions 60 further to-
ward making good citizens in this
country than the ownership, BY
residents, Of land in small parcels.
All laws favoring this result con
duce to the general prosperit y; ali
that interfere with it work injurg.
The taxation of mortgages is Of the
latter class. A direct result OF such
taxation is a diminution OF the
amount Of money put for invest
mcnt in mortgage; an indirect re.
suit, the prevention. of division Of
estates and improvement Of small
holdings. The total effect is the
retardation Of development anG
prosperity throughout the commu
nity.'

Sale Day.

The attendance on Monday last
was much small. cr than on previous
Sale Days: owing, we suppose, to
the cold, disagreeable weather, the
recent session of the Court, and
the absence of anything of publie
interest to draw our people t."
gether.
There were no sales by any O.
the public officers.
The sales which attracted mos
Interest, were those Of three valua
bic .own lots, known as the Nc
Laren los, on the Eastern side O
the Public Square, and Which were

They were owned by Messrs. JOIN

THE LOUISIANA TRoUBLEs.-ThC
Senate of the United States ha;
laid on the table the bill reported
by the Committee Of Privileges ant
Elections, ordering a new election
in louisiana.
The effect of this action is tc
hand over the people Of Louisiana
TO the tender mercies OF the Kel
logg government, and to impose
upon them a government which
was defeated in the last election by
:, majority of six or eight thousand
1t will be recollected tha: they wer,
deprived of the fruits Of that cleo.
ton by an appeal to the United
States Courts, and, through the ai(
OF partisan judge, and the En-
Torccmcnt Act, tie McErary ticl1e
was set aside, ed the Kellogg
government installed into power
That decision was sustained by the
Federal authorities, but an appca
being taken to Congress, the Sen
ate, as stated above, has refused t.
grant aay relief If the premises.
The least that Congress could have
done, would seem to be to have
ordered new election.

A MISTAKE. - The Charleston
Me1cs in giving list of the public
acts passed at the last session men
tions one to aid and encourage
manufactures. This is a mistake.
This bill failed on account OF irrec-
oncilablc differences of opinion be-
tween the Senate and the House.
The bill originated in the House,
and was amended by the Senate.
The House refused to concur. A
conference followed affecting moth
ING; free conference was then
tried, and its report adopted by the
House, and laid on the table by the
Senate. Thereupon Speaker Lee
declared the Senate amendments
lost and the bill was ordered to be
enrolled for ratification, Lieuten,
ant Governor Gleaves ruled that
the bill could not be ratified unless
the Senate adopted the report, and
so refused to ratify. Then to the
great disappointment of the people
generally the bill failed. But il is
also doubtful question whether
the State is not better Oft without
the law than it would be as it passec
the House. 1t is confidently be
Iieved that an effort will be made
early next session to secure the
passage Of a law from which the
object;onal features Of the lost bll
will be eliminated.
1t may also be stated here that
the general charter law failed II
the Senate, which will also be re
gretted by the people generally

FIRE PROOF BUILDINGS AND FIRE

FIRE PROOF BUILDINGS AND LINE
ExrINGUIsHERs. In these days OF
frequent conhagrations, it is all I'M
portant that buildings should be made
trc-proof, and VIC trust that builders
in our town will look to this prime
necessity. Brick is the most inde-
structiJle of materials, and we think
that as little wood will be exposed to
the rieI, vf fire as is practicable. BY
proper care each elilice can be made
frc-proof and isolated by fre-prooi
walls relieved from the danger oil
communicating the flames.
Experience too seems to demon
strate. the valr of tie Babcori. Fire

posed to judge highly &C its efficiency
