The changed relations Of steamers to sail
ing vessels on the ocean ara shown BY state
ment giving the Cunard lines experience.
Twenty years ago the Cunard steamship
PERSIA, . then the finest vessel ahoat, used
to consume 7-l0 pounds Of coal per hour
oer horsepower. So great was the space
required for the coal that, thongh the vessel
was 1000 tons burden, she could oaly fad
room for $50 tons of paying cargo. Contrast
this with the performances of a new steamer
of the present day. The "Arizona" is about
double the size Of the Persia, but she con-
sames only i pounds of coal per hour per
horse power. The consequence is that she
can carry 300 tons of paying freight, aud can
steam l69 knots against the 'Persia's' Is,
thus burning but onefifth of ton Of coal for
each ton of goods carried across the Atlantic,
instead Of the 81 tons burned by the Per
sia.'' The present expenditure of coal in
carrying ton of goods across is therefore
less than 100 of what 1t WAS twenty years
ago, and Improvement is still going on, 1t is
no wonder that sailing vessels find It harder
and harder to make decent living

MoRrGAoED HIS BoDY-A strange deed Of
mortgage was put upon record in the regis
ter's Office at Charlotte, n. c., last week.
According to the terms of this mortgage chas
Didenover, an intelligent but impeeunious
man, conveys himself and all right and title
TO himself to another, to have and to hold for
ever. to secure a debt he owes the gortgagor;
The deed was duly witnessed, signed and
sealed. Didenoyar is q married man, and,
therefore, under the laws OF North Carolina,
before man can convey any real estate his
wife has TO give her signature thereto, &C.
LnowIedqinq before notary public or magis-
trate. although it is doubtful if the object in
this case has character Of property. Didsno.
yer's wife valves all of her rights, titles and
claims to him in favor of the mortgagor, and
sicned the deed of conveyance and acknowl-
edged the same with all due form before
magistrate.

Our attention has been directed, by the
State Temperance Alliance, to two eri'i-
eisms. by Rev. Thomas L. Poalson and
Edwin Higgins, Esq, of a letter on local
option laws BY Hon. Thomas +. Bayard.
We had previously read Mr. Higgins let
ter, and discovered that be had entirely
miseoneeived Mr.. Bayard' $ meaning. Mr.
Bayard did not take ground against the
Legislature prohibiting the sale Of iutoxi-
eating liquors, but thought it matter Of
doubtful coustitutioaality for the Legisla-
ture to delegate their authority to the pee
ple. by grating them the privilege Of vo-
ting directly on the question Of liquor
Iicetse. As the ADVOCATE remarked more
than a year ago, such practice would per
tain to democracy; but republic is car
lied on through a representative system,
and there Is no law, State or national, au-
thoriziqs representative to delegate bis
authority to another. Under cur republi-
can fora Of government a Legislature has
the power to pass a law prohibiting the
sale &c liquor, bat it is doubtful whether
that Legislature could, eoustitutionally,
give the people the right, BY direct vote,
10 decide whether or not liquor should be
sold. Il is true the source Of all power
lay with the people, but under the laws the
people can only act through representatives,.
The representatives, however, can be
changed at their will, at the times speei-
fed By the law.

The Taxation Of Mortgages.

A writer in the Rockville Sentinel very
truthfully observes that at is the large
amount oFexempted mortgages in our State
that throws the burden of taxation on the
farmer, mechanic and merchant" As the
ADVOCATE has heretofore demonstrated,
if mortgages were taxed, the State levy
could be reduced to thirteen cents on the
one hundred dollars, and the levy for
county purposes could be materially less
ened in every county. By taxing mort
cages the taxes could be so reduced that
the mortgagee would realize fully five per
cent interest after paying his assessment,
which is a higher rate than most other In
vestments are paying. Government bonds,
of any series, will not pay more than four
and half per cent. after the lapse of a
few months; Baltimore city securities pay
but four per cent; the Maryland debt will
shortly be funded at about four per cent?
and four and four and half per cent. will
be tie ruling rates for nearly all safe in
vestments. By the reduced taxation, too,
the mortgagor will be better able to pay
principal and interest.
The constitution requires that everybody
shall "eoDtrib1te his proportion of public
taxes for the support of the government,
according to his actual worth in real or
personal property. Under this eonstitu-
tional requirement mortgages should be
taxed, and the next Legislature should ad
dress itself to the subject. 1t is claimed
that mortgages are already taxed, aud that
to tax them in addition to the tax upon
the mortgaged property would be double
tax. and unjust. IF that be the case, does
not the mortgagor now pay tax on What
he does not own. If 4 has farm worth
$4,000. and holds mortgage on it for
5000, A only owns half of it, yet is re-
ouired 10 paw tax on the whole. Is that
fulfilling the constitutional requirement Z
Do A aud B pay according to their actual
worth IN real or personal property? Not
at all; A pays on twice as much as he IS
worth aud B pays none. Now if no other
bill can be agreed upop, let US have Que
dividing the burden-oae that viii require
the mortgagor to pay on only what he Is
worth, and the mortgage to pay on the
amount Of his mortgage.
