MORTGAGE-TAX APFIRMED.

The Supreme Court OF the United States
has affirmed the decision of State Court
in which it was held that citizen of
Connecticut, who loaned on property in
Illinois, must pay tax in bis Own State on
the amount Of the loan. In other words,
the Supreme Court has decided that mort
cages ARE taxable. and that the person who
loans the money or holds the mortgage
must pay the tax in the township or coun-
ty ~ which he resides, and not in the
place where the mortgaged property is
situated, IL is the authoritative demon
stration Of veXed question in this State
ms well AS in other States, and had more
to do in influencing the interior and farms
ing population Of California to the ad0p-
ton Of the new Constitution than any
other one cause or purpose. .-S. j. Ec-
dDttIer.
Just so And right here let us re-
member that large proportion ofall the
mortgages held IN this State are in the
hands of Saving and other Banks and
Capitalists of San Francisco, whore they
are taxable, and that the poor interior
counties already oVerburdened with taxa
ton will lose just the amount of these
mortgages deducted from their Assess
ment Rolls. 1t will make fat Assess
ment for San Francisco but the interior
counties will suffer in proportion. Where
money is owed outside o. the State both
State and county will lose the tax. Other
beauties of the New Constitution will be
developed from time to time.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Governor Irwin's Mem Orial 10
Congress Regarding CalifOr-
MAS Position Thereon.

Following is copy of memorial !
addressed by Governor IRWIN to the
President and each House of Congress,
showing the vote of the people of Califor-
MIA for and against Chinese immigration:
SIR:-The Legislature of this State, as,
suming that it was desirable that the
wishes Of the people of the State, upon
the subject of Chinese immigration,
should be unmistakably expressed, pass
ed an Act, approved December q, 1877,
entitled "An Act t. ascertain and express
the will Of the people OF the State OF
California on the subject of Chinese i'm
migration" ;" This Act provided for the
submission to the electors Of the State, at
the next general election, the question of
the continuance or prohibition Of Chinese
imm igration. 1t provided that such
electors as should desire the continuance
OF Chinese Immigration might express
such desire by placing on their ballots
the words: "F0r Chinese Immigration"
and that such electors as should desire
the prohibition of Chinese immigration
might place on their ballots the words:
Against Chinese immigration.
This question was submitted to the
voters of the State, IN pursuance Of the
Act above mentioned, at the general cleo
ton, held on the Sd day of Septemh her,
1879. AT said general election there were
chosen all State and County officers and
mem bers of the United S a;es House Of
Representatives. The total vote cast at
such election was one hundred and sixty
one thousand four hdndred and five Q6l,
405j votes, which IS several thousand
! : ha, Io of of inn
election in the State. 1t is probable,
therefore, that the vote was as nearly tu II
as it would be possible. under any cir
cumstances, to secure. The vote was:
For Chinese immigration. n......."..............SS3
Against Chinese immigration........' loi,o3S
Voters who do not express any wish on
the SUBJ
Tho conclusion from this vote is una
voidable, to-wit: tnat the citizens OF the
State are substantially unanimous against
the continuance OF Chinese immigration.
The Act above referred to further pro-
ides that the Governor shall, after the
vote on the question of Chinese immi
grafton shall have been taken, make a
statement of the question submit itted to
the electors, and OF the vote thereon, and
forward copies of such statement, proper
ly certified, to the President and Wee
Pres ident of the United States, TO each
Cabinet Minister, Senator, Member of
the Ho lse OF Representatives and to the
Governor of each State and Territory.
Now, for your information as TO the
actual sentiment of the citizens of this
State, touching the question Of the con
tinuance of Chinese immigration, and in
pursuance Of law. | have the honor to
transmit to you the foregoing statement.
Very respectfully.

AS the Democrats mover miss lick in
giving place to any but Democrats, and
cheating Republicans fairly elected from
getting office, where they can, we believe
in fighting them with their own weapons,
aud none Of your Hayes humbug about
1T. The Democracy have been fairly
tried or the civil service farce, and recip,
rocate with the utmost contempt, by their
action towards Republicans, the late
Maine robbery being the last dodge in
thei- grip OR Office holding. Our next
Legislature should phqtiealy insist
OH placing none but Republicans on
guard. As soon as Hayes showed him
self a man in vetoiRg the Democratic
schemes for aiding the Solid South, his
enemies began 10 respect him, and his
friends stood faithfully by him. When
he showed weakness toward his political
opponents, they despised him, and so did
his friends. Just as sure as the Republi-
cans give away the victory in this State
by trusting to Democratic friendship in
being favored with Offices at Republican
bands, just as sure may you expect Cali
IerBiR to be captured for a Democratic
President. The Democratic Admins
tratiOn in tn is State the past four years
has never shown any favor in this respect

Superntendents of Schools take office on

the following section of the new Consti-

Iation to put it into practical operation:
SECTION. The local Boards of Edu-
cation, and the Boards of Supervisors,
and County Superinlendents of the sever
al counties which mag not have County
Boards Of Education, shall adopt series
of text books for the use Of the common
schools within their respective juEisdic
tions; the Textbooks so adopted shall
continue in use for not less than four
years; they shall also have control of the
animation of teachers, and the grant

THE Work OF THE LEGIsLATURE.-
Never before in the history of our Gov
eminent has single State been so thor
cughiy dazed by vexatous problems as
California at this time. The report of the
engineers on the subject of drainage make
known the fact that the lands west of the
Sacramento cannot be drained, and that
the islands at the mouth of the Sacrament
10 river cannot be relieved by any meth
o1s heretofore proposed Nevertheless,
should we have wet Winter, the parties
interested will continue 10 present their
case with undated vigor. A wet season,
considerable rain, will also inspire the
farmers afflicted by mining debris with
an unquenchable desire to obtain legisla,
tive protection. Another class Of men
will clamor for specific action looking to-
wards absolute control Of the railroad
companies, and if we are TO Judge this
class through past observation, we may
expect the usual display of fanatical ex-
'citement. The money lenders will rot
res. ior a moment until they have secured
legislation that will prevent double taxa"
tion. Corporations will make vigorous
effort TO obtain legislation that will ease
up some of the restrictions Of the new
Constitution. a large number OF persons
interested in the public schools have inti-
-nafad infanti.an 10 aesy R,r a rnx ieat ~
the State School system. And the peo-
pie have announced their determination
20 put a practical limit upon land and
water monopoly. In addition 10 these
great fsrreaching problems, there are
others relating to the machinery Of the
different departments Of Government
Every man Of sober judgment must see
that the coming Legis !a:ure will be liter
ally overwhelmed with perpleYity, unless
the good sense ofthe people comes TO their
relief and commands many of these IN
terests TO stand back and wait for more
convenient season. There are some ques,
tions which cannot be delayed notably
tina. OF land monopoly and that which so
deeply affects the farmers and M iners, but
would it not be well if we could refer the
school question to some learned commit
tee or commission that would inform the
Legislature "whether education educates
or not ?" We do not conceal from our
selves the plain fact that some kind of re.
vision is needed in our school system, but
we clearly see that one Legislature, sitting
for short time, cannot consider and act
upon SO grave subject with safety
Governmental machinery and water
rights mast be attended to. These four
points ought, then, to claim much of the
attention Of the Legislature. And the
time has now arrived when the people
should instruct their representative to this
effect. Without some such admonition
Legislatures may fail in everything by
attempting everything. Sac. Bee.

EFFECTS or HIGH ALTITUDE Al

Nothing that is eaten cooks at this tenn

nearer the sun by 10, 600 feet, its heat is

fc coast members of Congress find very
little ground for encouragement in the

that this portion of the message is SO ex-
tremely general and diplomatic in its
form Of express ion, that IA Though it raay

mean practically nothing. They intend,
therefore. TO seek for clear nterpreta-
