TAXING MoRTGAGEs.-Thc. New Jersey
Legislature like our own, has been wrestling
with the problem of taxation of mortgages.
The Supreme Court of California recently
decided that such taxation is illegal and UNI
just. Their decision is based upon the prin-
ciple that credits cannot be taxed as proper
ty. The logic of the mortgage tax is that
debtors are public bcneiactors, for the more
the citizens owe, the richer will be the State
If two men own property worth million
and one of them sells his share for halfa mil
lion, taking u note secured by a mortgage on
the whole property, there will be a million
and a half instead of million to be taxed.

traderships which he had obtained for other
parties through his influence with Belknap.
The latter also was unpleasantly connected
with Secretary Bristow's mule claim. In

The WAY 1T WAS DoNE.-The evidence
that the recent New Hampshire election was
carried by the most amazing bribery and
corruption is too plain to admit of doubt.
1t is to be hoped the example will not be fol-
lowed in other States, but that until they re-
form New Hampshire politicians may wear
the palm as the most corrupt of their class
in the country. The Boston correspondent
of the Springfield Republican lets in little
light on the manner in which the election
was carried. He says:
"a New Hampshire man, who has known
the details of these election contests for many
years, tells me that the amount spent this
year by the Republicans alone will not fall
far short of $1,000 or more than So apiece
for every Republican vote cast OF this he
estimates that $4,000 came from outside the
State-much of it from Washington, and
some of 1t from the contractors who have
been paying so freely to support the Admin
istration in various ways for years past
The rest of it was raised by voluntary con-
trbution, or by assessing the candidates and
holders OF ofilce-even of very petty office
1t is supposed to have cost Gov. Cheney sew
eral thousand dollars; the mayor of a small
city paid $1,000, and some candidates for
Senator &c, probably paid as much. The
price OF votes in the close towns went up so
high that $500 is alleged to have been paid,
now and then, for single vote. Fifty dol
lars was not an uncommon price, and the
purchase of votes for So and $40 was open
in many towns. Not less than 1000 Repub-
lican votes were probably cast by men
brought in from other States, from Washing
ton, and from more distant places --men al
legged to be legal voters in New Hampshire,
but who were no more residents there than
the border ruilians who used to do the voting
in Kansas twenty years ago. Some came
from as far away as Colorado to vote for
Cheney and Republican Senator. The
Democrats also used money, but not so tree
ly; indeed, they had less than half as much
to use, my informant says"

There were no men about the house when

fall in when Mr. Hood arrived. BY strenuous
exerIions = portion of Mr.. Hoods furniture
was saved. There was on insurance of s., :

The House Pension Committee have I'M
earthcd the most gigantic swindlc yet dis
covered. Several thousand dormant bounty
warrants, for 100 acres of land each, had ac-
cumulatcd in the pension office, being the
warrants ofpcrsons who were dead or had
forfeited them otherwise. A ring was form
cd, composed of Henry Won Arnaem, late
Commissioner of Pensions and three law
yers, named Cheney, Van Meter and Ill., of
New York State. The Commissioner gave
the swindlers all the information they want
ed, in relation to the warrants, and repre-
scnting themselves as administrators or guar.
dams for the persons named in the warrants,
the Commissioner turned them over 10 them.
They were then put in the market and sold.
The warrants were $500 in'rnumber, their
market value being not less than $500 900. of
which amount the dishonest Commissioner
no doubt received one. fourth.

The Republican press and Republican
members Of Congress endeavored to smother
the public Indignation against Belknap by
an outrageous effort to fasten upon Hon.
Hester Cymer, chairman of the investigat-
ing committee, the responsibility for the es-
cape of the witness Marsh to Canada. So
great was the cutlery that Belknaps rascai-
ty, in the eyes of some, was condoned by the
alleged fault of Mr.. Clymeri in not holding on
to the witness. Marsh has returned and
testified again before the Committee. Be-
sides fixing Bcllinap's guilt beyond all doubt,
he thoroughly, in his evidence, yindicatcd
Mr. Clymcr and the rest of the committee.
Mr. Clymcr, he said, gave him every assu-
rance ofprotcction and immunity from prose
cution, but he was frightened by newspaper
stories that his punishment would accompany
Belknap's, and he therefore fled. 1t was
the old ruse of the rogue joining in the cry
stop thief" to divert attention from himself.

There is no corner of the land that does
not suffer under the heavy hand of dishonest
administration. Stcalage and corruption
among government officials, says the New
Orleans Bulletin, comes home to every hus-
band, every mother and every child in the
Republic. 1t takes away part from the
market value of every bale of cotton, every
barrel OF molasses, every hogshead of sugar,
every barrel of flour, every casll of tobacco,
every tierce of bacon, every head of cattle,
every package of wine, every cargo of lum-
Der, and every product of mechanical indus
try whatsoever
The people are poor because their rulers
steal. The people groan and suffer because
they cannot sell what they create for its law
full market value. The times are hard eyery-
where, and the causcrs Of hard times arc our
corrupt rulers Heavy taxes represent
stealage. We pay tribute to political brig.
ands and official pirates. Forty per cent of
all duties goes into the pockets of scamps.-
Sixty per cent. of all internal revenue is like
wise diverted. Somehow, by hook or by
crook, the profits of all industry go into the
Golfers of bankers, traders, spectators and
iobbers. The fraternity. OF scamrs futlen and
flourish, but the people mourn. The rich
get richer all the time and the poor grow
poorer from day to day.
This thing cannot last The people of the
whole republic feel that they are paying too
dearly for their political whistle They NAV
concede that q poor government may some
times be better than none, but they are be
ginning to feel that the existing government
is so thoroughly bad and corrupt that it is
much worse than no government at all.
The American people were never SO thor.
oughly awakened as now. They are begin
ming to look closely into this sham called
government, and TO weigh its benefits against
Its cost. They are learning the strange ways
and the marvellous extent of frauds and
swindles which have been pcrpelrated upon
them. The caitiffs are in greater danger
than they may imagine. Many now in high
