gence and the wealth of the country, the most
advanced thinkers and leaders in politics, and
a decided majority as we would say in Joint
session" of the Assembly Added to this the
Bonapartists are less opposed to them now
than in their favor, while the 0rleanists and
Legitimists are united in support of the oppo-
sition. The army may be said to be unit in
favor of MacMahon.
To people 5000 miles from the scene of
these French political troubles and with the
barren facilities which we possess for under
standing the true state of affairs, it is quite
impossible to predict the result of their cleo
tions, much less the future in case MacMahon
succeeds III carrying the people with him to-
wards the Conservative Republicanism'
which he champions, but which III reality is
but one degree removed from absolute monar-
chy, and that rather in name than principle.
1t is with this conception of the Marshal
short comings and the unconstitutional liber-
ties which he undoubtedly is taking with the
rights of the French people, that we look to
see the Republicans successful, if at all. With
their success the Republic is safe. Without
it constitutional liberty in France is short
lived and full of trouble.-Sdn Jose Mercury.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1877-07-25

although it may be in accordance with the
only Interpretation which can be put upon
the law, cannot fail of arousing serious op-
position. The present Executive is not of
course responsible for the law, its only duty
being to carry out its provisions as it finds
them, until the Courts have pronounced them
unconstitutional.
The same principle is involved in the case
of stock corporations The Minister of FL
nance has decided that under the meaning of
the new law, which in this particular is mere
" a re-enactment of section l446 of the Civil
Code, law which we believe has never been
enforced, the lands and buildings and all
| improvements, as well as personal property,
owned by corporations must be assessed at
their "full cash value" and that the stock
holders the owners of the estate-must also
pay taxes on their respective shares. We
have not heard whether such shares are to be
assessed at their par value or otherwise, but
we would suggest that it might be a good
point for the Minister to make, to rule that
the assessments should be made to include all
a ne-hundredth interest in plantation which
was started on capital of a hundred thou
sand dollars, but which has now risen il
value to half million, should pay taxes OIL
five thousand dollars. Thus would the Golfers
of the Exchequer be more speedily filed.

The Russians Moving at Last.

THE long delayed Russian movement upon
the Danube has taken place at last, and the
army is crossing at many points, from the
neighborhood of Widin down to Galatz,
Heavy fighting is reported as going on, and
the Turks are evidently opposing fierce re-
sistance to the passage. They are, however,
greatly outnumbered, and it does not appear
that their preparations have been of an effec-
tive or extensive character. The most per-
picking fexlre in the situation is the inactivi-
ty or absence of the Turkish gunboats and
monitors. 1t was supposed that these vessels
would play most important part in the defence
of the line of the Danube, but since the Russians
sunk monitor with torpedoes they appear to
have been practically withdrawn If they
were engaged elsewhere the mystery would
be solved, but the Turkish navy makes no
sign anywhere, and it is even doubtful wheth-
er it is maintaining strict blockade of the
Black Sea ports. The Russians evidently
mean business this time, and from present in
dications they will effect the crossing of the
river with comparatively little arrangement of
their original plains. Hirsova has been sur
rendered without a blow; and fire has been
opened upon Widin. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary that the Russians should take or invest
all the forts on the Danube, and, therefore,
after crossing they must leave heavy detach-
ments for this work. The programme of Alb
dul Kerim, the Turkish Commander, has not
been developed yet, and it is just possible
that he has none. Severe and bloody engage
ments are, however, henceforth inevitable,
and it may be said that the real work of the
war has only now commenced.-Sac. Union.

The Future of France.

Within the next few months may be said to
hang the destiny, at least of the present CEN
tury,. of the Republic of France The recent
vote of the Senate of $50 to I3O to sustain
President MacMahon in his demand for dis
solution of the same, places both the President
and the late member of the Chambers face to
face before the people for their ballots in the
election of the new Assembly. And it is no
small task the Republicans have on their
hands to defeat the Ultramontanes, for the
hest part the Legitinists and Orleanists, headed
by MacMahon and his Ministry, at the cleo
tions. The French people are not yet educa-
ted up to . full appreciation Of Republican in
stitutions. For the most part the peasantry,
who largely compose the voting classes, are
yet to be emancipated from the influences of
the church before they can be depended upon
to sustain the Republic Their present sym
pathy is controlled by the clergy in the favor
Of MacMahon. This, the willy Marshal knows,
is a strong dependence. 1t is for this vote that
he is laying his most subtle plans. On the
other hand, the Republicans have the intelli-

Prescription i'm High Life.


Joseph Seligman, the New York banker, is
Jew. Not only that, he is rich, influential,
a membsr of the American Syndicate, one Of
the leading bankers of New York City. The
Union Hotel of Saratoga is now run by Judge
Hilton of A. 7. Stewart notoriety. That firm
used to do their banking business with Selig-
man. They laUely transferred their accounts
to another bank. For several successive Sum-
mers the family of Seligman has domiciled at
the Union Hotel. Upon applying for apart
ments, few days ago, Mr.. Seligman was in
formed that the Hotel had resolved upon new
departure, and that the taint of Jewish blood
would hereafter debar all from registering
this names, Mr.. Seligman included. Wheth-
er, as is alleged, prejudice existed at the
hotel against that race is less evident that the
fact that Judge Hilton desired to igsult the
banker in the most prominent manner possible
and chose the one adopted. There can no sig
Hilton is destitute of even the common decen-
cies of life, and revels in his questionably ac-
quired wealth as swine would among pearls
1t is only the prescription which one man has
for his enemy, who declines to discommode
himself by even admitting that feud exists
between the two, or that their business rela-
tions have been changed. AS to who stands
the highest in nobility there can be little ques-
tion. The day is past when "infdel Jews
can be held up the contumely of the world to
be exercised of men. Even III the most bar
barous countries of Europe the chop, hep
cry of persecution is well-nigh drowned. Jews
move in the foremost financial circles of the
world. They stand high in Government, in
wealth, in intelligence. They make no more
display of wealth than do other nationalities,
and if minding their own business be one OF
the virtues then indeed be they doubly blessed.
A New York hotel has not yet recovered from
the reproach of having denied Fred Douglas
its privileges We shall be surprised if the
Union of Saratoga is not filled full of cobwebs
before it is of guests.
I'VE quote the above from the San Jose
Mercury, and it tersely expresses public opin-
ion in every part of the world. The time has
gone by when any man can be prescribed on
account of his religious creed or political SEN
timents. We note that Rev. H. W. Beecher
preached sermon On this controversy on the
evening of July |, in which lie stigmatizes the
eonduct of Hilton as disgraceful and unworthy
of the age and country he lives in. Public
sentiment in the United States condemns Hill
tons course very stronghold. GAzETTE.]

The New Tax Law.

A MEETING was held on Saturday last at
the Chamber of Commerce room, for the pur-
pose Of taking action for testing the constitu-
tionality of the act comprised in Chapter 62
of the laws of 1876, entitled "an Act to
amend Sections 483 and 46f of the Civil
Code" Like many of the laws of 1874
and 1876, this Act bears upon its face the
evidences of great carelessness in the drawing
up, or of neglect of careful and intelligent
consideration and discussion at the time of its
passage, or perhaps of both. 1t was intro
duced to the Assembly near the close of the
session; was not published or discussed in
the newspapers, and was crushed " through
the House without any adequate investigation
of its faults or merits by three quarters of the
members, and without any opportunity having
been given the public generally to learn of its
existence.
The most Objectionable feature of the
amended law is that part enforcing double
taxation, which is most clearly in violation of
article IA of the Constitution, wherein is
guaranteed protection to each member of So
ciety, in the enjoyment of life, liberty and
property, in consideration of which che shall
be obliged to contribute his proportional share
to the expense of this protection" That is,
man shall be taxed pro rata for the protection
given his property. He who owns ten thou
sand dollars worth of property shall pay
taxes on it, according to the present law,
Al
sand dollars worth shall pay $3.50. But if
the man who buys piece of land for ten
thousand dollars, and pays FIVE thousand
dollars down, and gives his note for five
thousand secured by mortgage on the pro-
perty, is compelled to pay an annual tax of
S75 or it, he does not pay pro rata. He does
not pay "his proportional share" of the ex-
pense of protection, but he pays just twice as
much as his neigtbor with an unencumbered
estate pays. The half of the land which he
pays for, and of which he is therefore the
owner, instead of being "subject to an annual
tax of three-quarters of one per cent. upon the
full cash valuation thereof as provided by
this same law, is compelled to pay a tax of
one and half per cent, which is directly in
opposition to that part of the law above
quoted. There can probably be no object
ion to the assessment of real property in
the district where situated irrespective of
any mortgage" in the name of the nominal
owner of said property, as it would always
be possible for mortgagor and mortgage to
come to q mutual understanding in regard
to the payment of taxes but the present in
tention of the Finance Department to collect
tax of three-quarters of one per cent upon
all real property, mortgaged or unmort-
gagged, and also tax Of the same per cent.
on all moneys loaned, which may be secured
by mortgage on real estate already taxed,

the plaintiffs IRON decision Of the District Justice Of

Law o! 1855 repairing the contracts be written in

was foreigner. II appeared however that the con

tHo parts Native and RGgsh and that Paia wrote
his name himself and there the Certificate of Mr..

peGres 70 understand it and the Court held that

be furnished to the laborer, but copy had been pro-

always Informed Of the nature Of the contract and
eouid briIg suit upon that copy after notice to the
opposite party TO produce the original.
The Judgment Of the Lower Court was therefore re-
