Motion Universal and Eternal.

Science teaches us that the crust OF
our earth is perpetually moving. and
that the sea level is constantly chang
ing. Our globe has its daily rotation on
its axis and its yearly revolution about
the sun. The sun, with all its satellites,
sweeps on towards q moving point in
the constellation Hercules. Every So
called fixed star is iu motion. Fifty
thousand years ago the constellation OF
the Great Bear or Dipper was a starry
cress; a hundred thousand years hence
the imaginary Dipper will be upside
down, and the stars which form the Dowi
aud handlewill have changed places. The
misty nebui@ are moving, and besides
are whirling around in great spirals,
some one way, some another. Every
molecule Of matter in tile whole universe
is swinging to and fro; every particle Of
ether which fills space is in jellyAke
vibration. Light is one kind olmotion,
heat another, electricity another, mag.
netism another, sound another. Every
human sense is the result of m0hon;
every perception, every thought is bul
motion q the moiecules Of the brain
translated by that incomprehensible
thing we call "mind." The process ol
growth, of existence, Of decay, whether
IN words or in the minutest organisms
are Tut motion.

practical result is to increase the bur-
,dens, Of the borrower, BY compeling him
to pay the tax in addition to the Interest,"
The contrary Of this is SO often as-
serted by those VINO advocate this mode
of taxation. that we are glad TO tiad
that the California Supreme Court took
occasion, in the decision referred to, to
comment upon this doctrine in such Ian
guage as to fully sustain the proposition
we had advanced. In delivering his
opinion the Chief Justice said:-
"The taxation thus imposed nominal
ly upon credits having resulted in the
double taxation Of the money, the addi.
tional tax must Of course be paid by
some one. And here all human expert
ence, as well as the settled theories OF
finance, concur that 1t is not the lender
who pays, but the borrower. The bor-
rover is the consumer. me interest
which he pays to The lender ls the prime
cost of the delay for which he has con-
tracted. II the Government, by the I'M
position of additional taxes, increase the
cost, the borrower, being the consumer,
must pay 1T" r.
While it may be true that, under the
| specific injunctions Of our Ohio Consti
tuition as to taxing "money and Credits
we can not in this State give to mort
cages exemption from taxation, 1t does
not follow that therefore the thing is al
right and altogether expedient. Ever

upon that dreadful parsonage, the none!

lpressure rebounds to the injury of other
who may become borrowers, then ther
lis sufficient reason at least to make u
lpause and reflect. This subject is nov
commanding the attention of many Q
the most enlightened political econe
mists of the country; and it is one cor

Iron Ore and Our Southern Railroad

We clip the following from the Chatta-
nooga Commercial of the 9Th inst:
We visited the Cameron Hill ore bank
yesterday, and We're surprised at the eX-
tent of the mining operations already
lcommenced. About two months since,
Mr.. ii. q. Vance, after prospecting over
the western side OF this hill, commenced
surface mining on the lands of Dudley
Baldwin, MIR. Rathburn and the Roane
Iron Company, and finding Iron ores In
quantity and quality sufficient to war;
rant the opening OF mines.
These lands he leased for a period OF
| ten years at royalty OF fifteen cents
| per ton. The surface Indicated four
veins of red fossilllerous ore varying
| from four to fifteen inches thick. with
strata oil shale, from four to ten inches
thick, lying between. AS he has worked
into the bank and into the tunnels which
he has driven, these strata OF shale have
become thinner, until the ore veins have
united into one, from two to five feet
thick, with here and there a seam OF
hinty limestone ore.
At one point In the bank they have
cut down and exposed a solid vein OF
ore twelve feet thick, and the bottom
not yet reached. One thing is certain,
there are millions of tons Of ore in this
hill that viii yield from forty-nve 10
fifty per cent. OF iron. 1t can be mined
for 30 cents per ton, and isswithin gun
shot of the rolling mill. The elevation
| is such that tram road built to the blast
furnace would take the ores from the
mines and dump them into the top of the
furnace il necessary. MI. Vance mas
contracts for seven thousand tons al
81 so per ton, delivered at the rolling-mill
and blast furnace. He is paying so cents
per-ton for mining and 20 cents for haul-
ing.
!. A gentleman who was building on the
side of this hill two years ago struck a
ten-inch vein OF ore while excavating for
his cellar. If here, where you can stand
with speaking trumpet and order coal,
liron and limestone from the mines and
lduarries, and at the same time almosl
watch the men working i'll each mine
