The rate of interest is ruling so low at
present in this State, that investments In
mortgages, which are exempt from taxa
ton, are eagerly sought. So great is the
conversion of private securities into mort
Cages, and the consequent reduction of
the taxable basis, that if long continued
the rate of assessment will have to be in
creased. In this county, and we presume
it to be so elsewhere, from the amount OF
money advertised for loan on mortgages,
such securities are multiplying rapidly.
The courts, the schools, and the roads must
be maintained, and the interest on the
public debt must be met. If the people
have not fully realized the unjustness of
the exemption of mortgages, when the
question of increased taxation has to be
considered perhaps it may be apparent.
Two hundred millions of dollars in this
State contribute not one cent to the sup
port of government, and pay six per cent.
interest. while the borrowing land owners
have to pay taxes on what they do not
own and only realize but about four per
cent. from the fruits of their labor.

\. Y, Utica, Herald, Republcaa.-Sen-
ator Conkling created a sensation OF dramatic
pretensious by resigniHg not only his own seat
IN the United States Senate, but that Of his

his letter ct resignation Transmitted TO the

dent Of the L uIted States refsses to surrender

him in the exercise OF his constitutional fight.
