In New York 3 tax payer has right
under the law to Offset debts against
his personal property, and to that ex-
tent exempt the latter from taxation,
and tax expert thus shows how per-
sons avail themselves of the privilege !:
"Suppose you own $4,000 of per.
sOnal property which is properly sub.
ject to taxation. On that you borrow
81, 900 and invest that sum in the pur-
chase of $4,000 face value of U. S.
bonds on these bonds you again bor-
row $1,000, which you again invest in
$500 u. S. bonds. Now you own
$4,000 taxable personal property;
$4,000 first purchase U. S. bonds S.
900 second purchase u. s. bonds, aud
you owe $1,000 first loan So 900 Sec
ond loan that is in all $4,000, which
is a debt to be legally offset against
the amount of your original property,
while the u. S. securities are not SUBJ
ject to taxation. Hence your debts
equal the amount of personal proper
ty subject to taxation, and you calmly
and placidly can swear off your tax.
Next day you can close up your loans.

SO that one can, with perfect truth,
take the oath proposed by the COM
missioners after examination of the
applicant as to his then circumstances,
which in such case would be as fol-

taxation, does not exceed So"

A SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT.

In one of the battles of the late war,
young Doctor D.. then a volunteer
captain i'm the Union Army, led his
men up to hand-to- hand fight with q
Confederate regiment.
Il never said the captain, had killed
! man before. 1t was a mass of men
: fought-an idea, the whole SoutI-not
the individual.
When found myself, ther eff ,re,
slashing away at a stout blue-eyed
fellow, who might be some woman's
husband, and some child's father, l
confess my courage gave way. 1 &C.
tually shut my eyes as 1 hacked des-
perately at him with my sword, His
arm fell helplessly, and he dropped
from his horse.
San hour later. I saw him in the
surgeons tent. The arm had been
amputated and lay upon the floor. AS
the man was carried away 1 saw on
one of the fingers ring carved out of
camel coal. 1t looked to me like a
ehild's work, andI drew it off and
followed the wounded soldier, deter
mining to restore it. But in the con-
fusion of the battle field lost sight OF
him. ,,-
+. % The sequel of this story is as fol-
lows: In the summer of 1878, when
the yellow fever was raging in the
South, Doctor D. was one of the
Northern physicians who answered
the call for aid.
He went to Memphis and labored
for weeks ong the sick and dying.
Among the patients brought to the
hospital was Colonel c., a man
with but one arm.
( Something familiar in the mans
honest face troubled our doctor, He
gave his constant care to him, both
nursed and prescribed for him, and
j, finally saw him recover. The two
men became warmly attached.
One evening when the Colonel was
able to leave his bed, they took sup
per together. DIR. D. suddenly
drew from his pocket a black ring and
laid it on the table.
Why, this is minep exclaimed the
colonel. My boy Dick cut that for
me thirteen years ago.
Then it was 1 who cut off your
arm, said D..
The men arose and faced each other
silently a moment, and their hands
met in hearty clasp. The strife was
over, and the true men were true
brothers again.

The Duty Of virginia.

II is not question whether tho vote of
Virginia will be needed or not to secure the
election of Hancock. That is matter we
cannot possibly know until the election is
over, equally matched as the two great par
ties are in strength; but even were we ever so
certain that the country could do without us
and that we might throw away our vote with
ont harm, yet it would be our duty to cast it.,
or do all in our power to effect that purpose,
for the party to which our people are in
debted for the blessings of selfgovcrnment
they have enjoyed during the past ten years,
and through whose instrumentalty alone we
can look for the maintenance of that small
measure of freedom and protection that the
| Constitution still secures to us, through the
| remnants of it's safeguards which have been
saved from the destructive inrOads of radical
| centralzation, and which, If left to carry out
| its Logical. plan unchecked, must ultimate in
the most oppressive and grinding military
despotism the world has ever witnessed. The
vote of Virginia is needed if not to elect
Hancock, why, then, as n solemn protest
against the predominance of this centralizine
and imperial policy which has of late grown
so popular with the newly arisen aristocratit
classes, the moneyed power of tho North
and which, we regret to say, has not failed
to impress few of our own people by the
L
importance of the election of Gen. Hancock
and the restoration of the Government Il
Democratic methods and practices, therefore
cannot be overestimated; for it will chang.
the whole current of onr future, and save thu
Republic from all the dangers by which it:
FREQ institutions are menaced through TIN
triumph of the party of Capitalization ant
imperialism, the party of Grant and Conk
ling, of Logan and Cameron; and recognizing
this fact we do not see how any Virgins
Conservative can consent to endanger th
success of the Democratic electoral ticket b.
dividing our vote, az 1t unquestionably mus
be divided If the 7th of July ticket is kcp
in the field, and permitting tho radicals, VIII
are now organizing their entire force AM
placing it on footing for active and eilectiv
campaign service, to come in between ns an
bear away the prize. Nor do we believe tina
any large portion of our party will be guilt
of this suicidal act, but that at the last mo
ment their patriotism will reassert itsel
and, breaking the weak band that ties ther
to this petty faction, they will unite with II
in the duty of the hour and save the Con
monwealth from the disgrace by which it
now threatened through their obstinacy an
| and stubbornness ,-Richmold Staie.

Try Something Else.

The Republicans are laying great stress on
the business argument" but in the bust
ness portion of Mane-n the cities and
centres of population--thc Garfield Blaine
vote dwindled, while it held its own in the
agricultural portions of the State. Go to New
York and it is the same. The New York
Tribune, on Thursday, in one column an
nounces the political disaster which carries
dismay into the hearts of its party, and in
another says: I" No one can visit this city
without seeing abundant proofof the activity
of domestic trade. The lines of transporta-
ton all report an extraordinarily heavy
movement, with especial increase in West
bound freight, and the merchants of Eastern
cities do not need other evidence than their
own orders to satisfy them that the splendid
prosperity which began last year has not yet
been arrested. Trade is more safe and more
legitimate in its character, however, than it
| was last fall, when the speculative fever was
| raging, and the banks have reason to feel
| safer, though their loans are expanded ia
| $3l3, 3,TlG, 200 than they did at this time last
year with loans of only 1886, 900, 400. Last
year their reserve consisted of $50, 600, 900 in
specie and S4O, 100000 in legal tenders, but
now they hold less than Sl4, 900, 900 in legal
tenders and over $6G 900 in specie.

1t will therefore be observed that whether
the vote of 1878 or that of 1876 is taken, the
Democrats have certainly the inside track
and the best chances for the victory.
In Ohio both parties have been making
very strong fight. The Republicans particu-
larly have battled with desperation for it is
a life-anddeath struggle with them. The
Democrats cGn lose the State in October and
November both, and yet win the Presidency,
but if the Republicans lose it, the loss will
be Gnrield's political death-blow. Ohio was
also reapportioned last year for Congressional
purposes, and the battle for Congressman has
therefore been very lively. In the Forty
sixth Congress there are eleven Democrats
and nine Republicans. The Republican
Legislature reapportionea the State with a
| view of giving themselves twelve of the
twenty Representatives in the Forty y-seventh
| Congress, but their opponents believe that
they are counting good deal too fast, and
that in spite of their gerrymander they will
not be able to hold more than ten of the dis
tricts, if they succeed in doing that. The
| State has not given such rousing majorities
of late as would make the Republicans Sc
cure without putting forth all their energies
and spending a good deal of money. And
with all that II is among the possibilities
that they can't win.
