THE LEGAL PROBLEM OF THE
DEMOCRAT.

The Ohio Supreme court gives rule
by which the legal problem submitted by
the Madison Democrat may be easily
solved, and without prejudicing the
rights of any of the parties interested.
Those not having the Ohio Reports, may
consult Herman on Chattel Mortgages p,
362. By this rule the second mortgages
gets so much of the fund as would be
applicable to his mortgage after satisfy
ing the docketed judgment. The iudg-
ment creditor so much of the whole fund
as would be left after satisfying the first
mortgages and the residue to the first
mortgages. The justice of this rule viii
be evident on little examination. The
first mortgage having precedence of the
Judgment, the judgment stands second
and is worth only the excess of the value
of the property over the mortgage.
Hence the Judgment creditor cannot ex.
pect more than what he has really claim
on,-the residue after satisfying the pri-
precedence of the first through the ne.
glect of the first to record his mortgage
and is second to the Judgment credit
or. He has had no notice of the first
mortgage and so in good faith took
mortgage on the property left after
satisfying the Judgment. This much is
rightfully his. The Democrat does not
give the amount of the Judgment render
ed. In all cases in which the difference
in the value of the property sold to salts
fv claims and the amount of the docketed
Judgment is sufficient to satisfy the
second mortgage, the second mortgage
will receive the full amount of his claim.
The intervention OF the Judgment may III
some cases lessen the amount received by
either of the other claimants. When the
amount of the Judgment is small, it proves
injurious to the first for the reason that
there is not so much property secured
from the second mortgage on which the
first mortgage is lien. When the
amotint of the judgment is comparative
ly large so as not TO leave enough to sat
isfy the third claim it will iniure the Sec
ond, mortgage for the reason that there
is SO much property on which there is a
prior lien so that it is not reached by
the thirdclaimant.

th the fear and mental suffering they
cite among defenseless women and
1ildren, and the murders robberleS and
sltrages. too brutal to be here named,
" them committed. If in the larger
titles they are somewhat restrained by
.igilant police, in the villages ana towns
-hev have become the daily dread and
lightly horror of all well-disposed per
lons. The little girl, on her way to or
rom school. the farmers wife, busy with
household cares, the aged and the lntirm,
re alike the victims Of their cowardly
md licentious violence. Whatever may
De urged in extenuation of other crimes
and vices, the responsibility for this
crime of vagabonage, which may now be
Justly said to include every crime known
to the law, is upon The Individual and
not upon society.
In July last, a small army of these
social outcasts turned their
faces toward Wisconsin, and their adj
vance guard, taking possession of railway
trains, dictated the terms upon which
they might proceed. 1t is unimportant
that the terms proposed were only that
the invaders should be furnished free
transportation, for, II that much had
been conceded then, more would have
been demanded next time. Fortunately,
the good Judgment and firm determine
ton of the Superintendent Of the Mad
isou Division Of the Chicago & North
western railway, enabled the citizens OF
Beloit and Madison to meet the issue OF
lawlessness against law fairly upon its
merits, and with most satisfactory results,
for the time being. The disease, how
ever, is too virulent and deep seated to
yield to the mild remedies provided fol-
common vagraney. It demands more
vigorous treatment, and | therefore rec
ommend the enactment Of law clearly
defining the crime of vagabondoge, and
providing for its summary and severe
punishment.

THE bill to appropriate an amount of
money to compensate the college of Will
iamand Mary for losses sustained during
the war was defeated in the house by a vote
of 127 to 81. The bill gave some of the
'stalwarts" an opportunity to harangue
on the attempt to allow southern claims.
Most of the Wisconsin members voted
against the bill and some republicans
favored it. 1t would hardly seem i'm
proper to extend little aid to an ancient
and hallowed seat of Learning, but it is
absurd to attempt anything at present
while the republican party are on the
alert to howl southern war claims"

THE denunciation of Irishmen i'll general
and of Corkonians in particular, because
provision was not made to give Grant
a free entertainment, continues. "Mean
spirited 'ssmall souled, "bigoted
catholics" are the terms freely applied.
One Of our exchanges in seeming en-
deayor to account for the action of the
council of Cork, proceeds to give a por-
ton of an address by Gen. Grant, which
is replete with good sense, and valuable
suggestion and then asks what there Is
in such words to arouse the ire of the
Ignorant Council" The paper referred
to, may with equal propriety say that the
CITY of Clerk refused to receive Gen.
Grant because he is the author of the
celebrated sentence LET us have peace. !"
The Irish people have sufficient cause
of grievance against Grant to justify their
refusal to give him a reception. Those
papers which so diligently denounce the
citizens of Cork had nc word of rebuke
for Gen. Grant when he deliberately in
suited every Irishman by refusing to ac-
cept from the Irish people congratula-
tory address rendered on the Centennial
Fourth of July. This was an indignity
which the people of Cork very properly
resented and on this ground only, and
not on n religious one, as some of the
papers which heap abuse on the Irish
would have citizens Of the United State
believe. Though a refusal % receive
Grant on purely religious grounds would
be Justly reprehensible, still it is not in
human nature to readily forgive a presi-
dent who made direct attack, on the re-
hgion of people who constitute no in
significant portion of the population of
the country. Even if Grant felt that
Catholics were making demands that
might prove inimical TO the interests of
the country, he might in his message
have offered suggestions without accom-
panying them with reflections which
could not fail to provoke enmity. A
president should not be the champion or
the opponent of any form OF religion.
The Council of Cork did not base their
action on religious grounds however,
which, if they had would not be alto
gether INDISPENSABLE, but on the insult Of
fered to the Irish people by refusal to
receive an address presented by apeople,
whose affection for the United States is
second only to their love for their native
land. Grant offered the first insult and
thus provoked the one he received.

THE Blaine Committee are taking tes-
timony. A man named Breda testifes
to being forced to seek refuge in the
woods and to have been hunted with
blood hounds. It would seem from his
statement that republicans in Louisiana
are not so scarce as to make it necessary
to employ the services of bloodhounds
to hunt an odd one down. 1t is extreme
ly probable that Breda's politics was not
his only crime, if it be true that blood
hounds were brought into requisition to
find his hiding place. A state that
would tolerate Wells and Anderson,
would certainly not place so much value
on the capture of such a man as Breda.

If there be any one of our exchanges
for whose opinion we have the utmost
respect, it is the Kewaunee Enterprise.
It's editor is as fully acquainted with
matters pertaining to the state and with
the standing of its prominent men, as
any man can be who does not make poll
with him as to the action which democrats
should take in the election of a United
States senator. Ii there was POSSIBLE
ty of electing Judge Ryan or any other
democrat to the senate, then its advice to
vote for such person "first, last and all
the time" would be eminently sound.
But the Enterprise admits that it is not
at all probable that enough republican
votes can be diverted from the republi-
can nominee to elect such q man. Adj
hitting that Carpenter is not in all re-
spects the sort of man for whom demo-
Gratis should vote, if by so doing they
can defeat worse man, knowing that
they cannot elect better, is it not wise
to give him that support which can be of
no use when extended to sound demo-
craft OF two evils always choose the less.
AS it now stands it is choice between
republicans. If democrats can compass
the election of republican renowned for
his ability and most in accord with dem
ocrats, they will to a certain extent make
their power felt. In supporting a
straight democrat, they will give the re-
publicans an opportunity of selecting a
man in every respect Objectionable to the
democratic party. Had Matt Carpenter
been in the senate at the time of the pres
idential contest, it is not at all improba-
bile that the legally elected president
would now be ia the presidential chair.
Conkling yielded to the opportunities of
republicans, and thus allowed Hayes in-
auguratlon. IL IS generally UeIIeyeu
that had ne made his contemplated
speech in opposition to Hayes right to
the presidency, the fraud on the dem
ocratic party would rot be consummated.
Carpenter is as able as he, and would not
be SO easily intimidated. He unques-
tionably was of the opinion that Tilden
was legally elected. In view of the pos
sibility of like contest would 1t not be
advisable to have the state represented
by such g man as Carpenter, rather than
by such men as Reyes or Howe who
would willingly sacrifice justice at party

Had the assessment been at actual
value, the rate of taxation would not have
exceeded / per cent, and the direct
State tax, which is less than one twelfth
os the total tax, would have been less
than nine-tenths of mill to the dollar.
The entire State tax, direct and indirect.
for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1873,
represented by the receipts into the gen
eral fund, amounts to 81, 100, 49,, 81, and
if levied upon the taxable property OF the
State would amount to lilo mills upon
the dollar, or about one-eight of the to-
tai tax paid by the people. The amount
is $4,000 less than was received the year
before, which, with the large deficiency
existing in the general fund on Jan. l,
1873, and the expenses Of the publication
Of the Revised Statutes, accounts in part
for the increase in the State tax now be-
ing collected. 1t is confidently expected
that this tax will pay all the expenditures
