WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10, 81,
The adoption of the program agreed
upon in the Democratic caucus by the
two Houses, robbed the final formality
of the electoral count yesterday of the
little interest of dramatic kind that
promised to attach to it in the early
days of the session. This back-down
from the position early assumed by the
majority, ofa count under the Morgan
Joint rule or no count at all, while it
brought peace and pleasantness to the
ceremony, detracted largely from its
interest, and stripped it of many OF its
attractions. Nevertheless the event
of the formal declaration that James
A. Garfield is President, and Chester
A. Arthur is Vice President for the
term of four years from the 4th of
March 1881, had in itself interest
enough to attract thousands Of people
to the Capital, more than could be
squeezed into the Chamber of the
! House. There never has been an
electoral count which proceeded so
quietly or consumed less time in as
certaining and declaring The result
than the one of yesterday. The only
incident worthy of mention was the
hasty retirement of Alex. HI. Stephens
from the Hall, upon the refusal of the
joint convention Gin conformity to the
concurrent resolution) to actually
count the vote of the State of Georgia
After the adjournment of the joint
convention, the House took up and
passed the legislative appropriation
bill, which leaves but two more to bC
acted upon by that body.
The Senate upon the return to thu
Senate Chamber continued the discuss
ion Of the Pension appropriation bill
The amendment known as the "Sixty
Surgeon" bill, gotten up and cham
pioned by Commissioner Bently, wa
defeated by decided majority. Th'
bill then without material change
passed. The Post Office bill was theI
taken up and will pass to-day.

A Wonderful Lake In Iowa.

The greatest wonder in the State Of Iowa, and
perhaps. in any other State, Is what Is called the
Walled Lake. in Wright county, I2 miles north
Of the Dubuque and Pacific Railway, and $50
miles west of Dubuque City.
The lake Is two or three feet higher than the
earths surface. In places the wall Is 10 feet
high, Is feet wide at the bottom and feet wide on
the top. Another fact l. the size Of the used
in the construction, the whole Of them varying In
weight from three tons down 10 100 pounds.
There is an abundance of stones in Wright county,
but surrounding the lake TO the extent Of Eve or
ten miles there are none No one can form an
idea Of the means employed to bring them Co the
spot or who constructed IL.
Around the entire lake is a belt Of woodland
half mile in length. composed Of oak. With this
exception the country l. rolling prairi,. The
trees must have been planted there at the time of
the building Of the wall.
In the spring of the year 1856 there was great
storm. and the ice on the lake brskc the wall in
several places, and the farmers in the vicinity
were obliged to repair the damages to prevent in
uniation. The lake occupies y ground surface of
$500 acres depth Of water as great rs 2j feet.
The water l. clear and cold, sol. sandy and
loamy. IL Il singular that no one has been able
10 ascertain where the water comes from

Taxation Of Mortgages.

The question Of the taxation Of mortgages 10
again engaging the attention Of the State press.
The uniform current Of opinion appears 10 DO
favorable 10 the proposition. This question has
been brought TO the attention Of the Legislature
at each successive session for several years past
and bills have been introduced fer the accomplish
ment Of this purpose. Tho measure has failed
thus far 20 receive the approval oftbe law makers.
IL was pressed with energy at the last session, Mr.
Gorman, We believe, being the author Of the bill !;
but through detection among the Democrats, and
Republican opposition, failed Of passage. The
measure developed more strength st tho last ses-
sion, however, than at any previous session. This
measure has been heretofore opposed on the
ground that, if such n tax were imposed, the real
burden Of u would fall the debtor class. Under
the stringent conditit Of the money market, ex-
isting for n number Of years past. which has
enabled lenders Of money 90 dictate their own
terms 10 borrowers, this objection has not been
without weight; and perhaps the Legislature has
asssd ~isaiy In failing 10 enact such Law. But,
the money market having now apparently reeov-
cred normal and easy condition, as Is evidenced
by the fact that large loans are now being aoated
at from three 10 four per cent. interest, would
seem that this objection can no longer be urged
TO see any Justification for the Legislature 20 con-
tinue to disregard tina, principle Of the Bill Of
Rights that requires every person holding property
in the State "to contribute his portion Of public
taxes for the support ofthc Government according
10 his actual worth in real personal property"
The enactment sf such n measure would be pro-
ductivc of far greater benefit To the present tax
payers than all the petty rctrcnchments so loudly
spoken or combined u ;s be hoped this
measure will receive the favorable confederation
Of the reSt Lesisiaturc.-fort Tobacco Times.
