other employment than farming.

there is on exhibition in this Hall
more tobacco than wheat, more whis-

GRANT COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY.
We are informed that an effort is

GRANT COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY.
We are informed that an effort is
being made by the physicians
throughout the county to form a
"County Medical Society,"" and will
meet for that purpose at the court
house in Lancaster, at 2 o'clock, p.
m, July goth, 1876. The object of
this organization is sufficiently OBJ
vious to any one having a correct
idea with regard to duties and re-
sponsibilities of physicians. We un-
derstand that new fee bill will be
formed which is very necessary in
order to have O uniform charge by
all the physicians in the county.
But tho greatest benefit results from
the annual meeting which is quite
similar to q teachers institute in that
the combined experience is brought
out and all interesting points dis
cussed at length 1t is to be hoped
that a general turnout" Of doctors
will be the result of this efforts and
that success will attend their exer-
tons in their endeavors to raise the
standard of medicine commensurate
with its responsibility. The medical
faculty of Grant county is not infe-
rior to that of any county in the
State, but it is a fact that no other
county in he State, of it's size and
wealth is without a well organized
society; so turn out ye dis
ciples OF Esculapus, and don't look

Taxation of Mortgages.

In the HERALD of June goth, the
editor quotes from che pen OF an Eek
perienced county officer" some very
pertinent remarks in favor OF taxing
mortgages, lands as well. But to
our inexperienced mind, the article
fails satisfactory to reach the ques-
ton of 'sunequdl taxation" which is
the question at issue. 1t is very right
and proper to tax the mortgages the
money lender. But to tax both the
mortgages and the lands covered by
the mortgages, is really unequal or
double taxation and no amount of
talk can do away with the fact. The
man who holds the deed of convey
ance, is not the real owner of the
estate covered by the mortgage.
The grants of the mortgagor have
conveyed to the mortgage call the
rights, titles and interest in and to"
the estate mortgaged, subject to re-
demption only at the terminus OF
long, weary days and months and
years of hard labor for the money
with which to redeem, the coming
cash, is in the labor get to be pre-
formed, not in the estate covered by
the mortgage. The MORTGAGE pays
in interest on the money loaned all
that ought to be required OF him,
while the mortgagor pays his tax up
on the mortgage, he virtually and in
| fact pays his Just and proper tax upon
the lands conveyed in the grants OF
the mortgage, but for both to pay
| upon lands held in the one indenture
is "unequdl taration." The mort
gagor does not and may never own
or possess the estate. The larger the
tax the less the chances of redemp.
ton. The burden is upon the poor
man and not upon the capital. The
| manner of restoring "equal taxation"
would beplain and easy, if real estate,
and money were both assessed at full
| value. Under such conditions, de-
| duct the amount of the mortgage
from the assessed valuation of the
real estate, covered in the mortgage
and equal taxation would obtain. The
property is all taxed once and only
once, but under the present system
of differentiation in the assessment,
the question is difficult one, yet it
is self evident, that under the
present practice, the 100 acres,
covered by mortgage of 81 900,
and both pay, the one on the mort
gage, the other on the land, pays a
tax on 1000 more than the l6o acres
joining of only equal value, and UNI
equal taxation to the amount of a
900 has obtained, and tabor, not
capital, is the sufferer.

THE man who led the desperate
charge across the treacherous morass
at Winchester lived to overcome in
the political arena the Democratic
leaders of Ohio, Allen G. Thurman,
George II. Pendleton. and Governor
Allen lie lived also to become the
embodiment of all the principles OPP
posed to the financial sophistries, the
ill.concealed dishonesty, and the ar
rant damagogism OF which these
leaders were the opponents and the
representatives,. His election was a
triumph of able and cautious leader
ship, and of the bold and steadfast
championship of public faith and con-
science against the mischievous in
triguers who psltered in double
sense with these essentials of the
stability of the State.

Says the Cincinnati Times: with
an Ohio man in the White House, an
Ohio man as Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court, and another as Associ-
ate Justice, with an Ohio man as Gen
eral of the Army, and one Ohio man
in the Cabinet, there is a prospect
that the due influence of the Buck.
eye State in the national councils will
be maintained. The modesty of the
state, even if there had been no con-
stitutional liabilities, would have pre-
vented her claiming the second place
as well as the first on the Cincinnati
