Es-The following is taken from the Baltimore
Americans Washington correspondence of Tues
day:
Maryland otfce-seekers were notably numerous
among the Presidents callers to- day. rL--~..'y
aua Of shiS al obtaining in
1ef'leW with the President was John 7. Ensor. of
Io"sontoWn, who wants to be United States Dis
trlet Attorney for Baltimore"
We should like know where Mr.. Ensor expects
to get his Republican backing. Certainly not
ifom MS own county. We have no doubt that a
certain class OF Democrats-and by no means the
best elass-wOuld endorse him most heartily. and
ne may depend on these fast friends of his to null
him through, but if it is Republican support he
needs he will have to go elsewhere to get it, But
we have no fears that the Christian Statesman will
ever be U. S. District Attorney for Maryland
least not under a Republican administration

Es-About twenty thousand people were at
spartanburg, South Carolina, on Wednesday to
participate in the ceremonies of unwilling the
statue Of Gen. Daniel Morgan, the hero of the bat

January, 1871. Governor Hagood, of South Car
DINA, presided, and introduced the speakers. Rev

Taxing Mortgages.

The subject of taxing mortgages be''';
agtated by some of the newspaF -
and oninions differ very widely rs,
of such taxation. correspondent of the West
minister Adcocate who signs himself "Mortgagor,"
writes as follows upon this subject
"The greatest good to the greatest number this
is the principle upon which republican or popular
governments base their legislative acts. The bor-
rowing or debtor class constitutes the great maj
ity in all societies. Or it is often said, the poor
are more numerous than the rich therefore a
popular government aims to legisate for the mot
rich, leaving the rich to care for themselves Aid
and protect labor, and only protect capital. Upon
this principle are based all usury laws all laws
taxing luxuries at high rate taxes on securities
and on incomes; this is the guiding principle upon
which the great out cry against corporations or
mOnopolies is based and it is this an xietv.to get
at the rich mans cash box that is the root of the
movement to tax mortgages on land wholly with
in this State. But, has it ever been asked by the
former, who will pay mortgage tax VIII tho
farmer who borrowS, or the man who lends few
hundreds or thousands pay this tax? Who will
bear this extra burden? reply the farmer who
is borrower.
at is said the MORTGAGE owns the land covered
by the mortgage given by the farmer, and that
the mortgage should pay the taxes. 1t may be
So (grant it to be so) but ohO does pay the taxes
Why the farmer and he agrees so to do ia tie
mortgage deed it would only require few lines
of writing to insert an additional csvenent- i.
which he would agree to pay the mortgage tax.
"When the U. S. revenue laws required stamp
on each mortgage, did the farmer or lender pay
for that stamp certainly the farmer paid hat
tax.
"The recording fee is revenue to the STATE,
well as compensation to the clerk-the farmer,
not the lender pays that. While money is worth
more than six per cent. (yet the usury laws forbid
to take more) who but the farmer loses DOES he
not pay interest in advance? and the lender, by
gaining interest on that interest, saves himself.
Upon what ground it be said the farmer
will escape the payment of this mortgage tax
and that the revenue from such tax will reduce
the farmers tax on his farm | or 2 per cent. No
it will help, perhaps, the rich lending farmer. but
it is only new tax on the farmer who is obliged
to borrow to keep up his farm, to win new
ground, plant new orchards, etc. 1t is all very
well to bleed the rich man, but it is prudent to
that the knife has not double edge, or il may
cut you the deepest"

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Company has paid $s6,OOO,OOO in death claims,
endowments, dividends of surplus and surrender
values to its policy holders and their representa-
tives. 1t has resisted the payment of less than
one and one-twentieth per cent. of the amount of
death and endowment claims brought against it,
and then only in cases where the plain duty of its
officers required such action for the protection Of
living and honorable members. Its policy 10 ae

bonds Of the United States, and is within the reach
of the humbest man, who might not live to save
the amount to purchase the bonds. The ratio of
expense of management to receipts of this compa-
ny is 81 per cent, being less than half that of the
average Of all the companies in the United States
and the lowest of any. No new or specious plans
of policies are issued genuine, pure and simple

EaS-A number of persons who were engaged in
the starroute contracts have been arrested at the
instance of the PostOfice Department and there is
prospect of this fraudulent business being thor
oughly ventilated. Postmaster General James is
the right man in the right place and will not leave
stone unturned in ferreting out these rascalties
The Government has no doubt been robbed of
hundreds OF thousands of dollars, but the new
Postmaster General will put an end to their
schemes. He is deserving of all praise for his
prompt action

ga3rSince the star-route frauds have been
brought to light, together with Gen. Brady's al
legged connection with them, certain Democratic
papers have endeavored to cast reproach upon
President Garfield, because he on the 23d Of Au-
gust, 1850, wrote letter from Mentor to Hon. j.
A. Hubbell, Washington, in which he said, "Please
say to Brady that L hope he will give us all the
assistancepossible." These newspapers are trying
to create the impression that when Gen. Garfield
wrote that letter he was eognizant of the star
route frauds and that immense sums of money
were being made out of them improperly, por-
zion Of which he was anxious to secure for cam
pssgn purposes. The Presidents attention hav-
ng hssn called to this he stated that there was not
a line ia the letter that he would have the slight
esE objeetoa &c giving to the public, that the star
route coRtraeEeTs we're neither mentioned nor
thought Of that it vas simply the expression of
hope that Brady, citine% Of Indiana, who was
reported to have made an immenss fortune in Bell
telephone stock, would respond from his ample
means in aid of his party in the ife-and-death
struggle then going on in his own State.
