Mortgage Laws.

The two proposed laws relative to mort
cages, now before the legislature, win be
found in this issue. One is bin to prohibit
mortgagors from contracting to pay taxes on
mortgages and mortgages from taking taxes,
public charges or dues from mortgagors.
The penalties attached for violations of the
law are so trivial that the bill win fail of It's
object, we apprehend. The recovery of taxes
paid, with interest, is so small punishment
that few persons inclined to exact taxes from
mortgagors win be deferred from doing so.
The other is the bill to tax mortgages.

Arrears of Pensions.

Ii IS very clear that arrears OF pensions 20
the participants of all our wars, and in addi-
ton the enlargement Of the list OF wars pre-
vious to our late war between the states, would
bankrupt the government. Where deserving
and needy men are concerned well-guarded
legislation would be unobjectonable, but TO
the wholesale swindle attempted 70 be fixed on
the country in this connection there should be
resolute objection. Senators Beck and Davis.
of West Virginia. have emphasized this whole
matter in their efforts TO guard the treasury
against the wholesale raid promoted by Maxey
and Vest The needy and deserving of our
veterans should be cared for, and what the
Law intended for them should reach them, and
not all, but pittanee, pass into the hands of
the human vultures who seek 10 enrich them
selves at the expense and snfferings of better
men 1t is timely legislation when Congress
promptly makes provision to protect the gov
ernment against the payment of fraudulent
claims, and to expedite the claims Of those
Justly entitled to the pension appropriation.
Needy and disabled veterans belonging TO wars
prior 10 the late war between the states-the
last war with England, the Indian wars and
the war with Mexieo-claim some recollection
in matters of the kind, but perhaps these
claims for the most part, would be from
quarter presenting poor opportunities to the
LOBBYIST and claim agent for fraudulent job
berry, and, therefore, they have not shared the
engagements contemplated IN recent pension
bills.-BaltimOre GGzetfe.

The police census of the voting population
of Baltimore, just completed, foots up SO, 1877.
This number is about 5000 greater than the
police census of last August Baltimore is a
growing city, but this increase in voters does
not indicate real growth. In August very
many people are oyt of the city, summering
at the seaside, at the mountain resorts, or Wis
iting their country cousins, consequently
the census at that season is necessarily mac
curate. Now, however, the people are at
home, and the census may be regarded as
nearly correct as possible.

CnNlish balls or DEATH.

There was singular case up for trial in

tooth. The question to be decided by the
justice was whether restaurant keeper is
justified in shootinga man for refusing to
eat his Goldfish balls. The Judge of the law
ard justice decided yes. The case was as
follows. The proprietor of a Sawtooth res
taurant placed plate of Goldfish balls on
the table OF q young man and regular
boarder, who had seated himself for grub.
The boarder was calmly and peacefully
slowing away the victuals, but didn't take
in any of the Goldfish balls.
The restaurant keeper approached him
and said i'll Il commanding tone OF voice,
"N ou eat them Goldfish balls
81 don't like goldfish balls" replied the
boarder.
You eat them Goldfish balls, tell you!'

II tellyo once more to cat them Goldfish
balls. II you don't I'll shoot YOU and
the restaurant keeper started for his pistol.
The boarder saw that he had TO do one OF
three things-eat Goldfish balls, refuse again
aud be filled with leaden balls, or skip.
He skipped. Just as his coat-tai was van.

keeper bla1ed away, but missed him. The
boarder had him arrested. The Justice, in

THE RuaAnoo OFF, uE EAsT.

We are not in favor OF seeing the govern
ment funds s1uandered on anything, or
lavished upon enterprises not of national
importance, but the hue and cry in the
eastern states against appropriations in be-
half of the Mississippi river is among the
most senseless twaddle that we can con-
ceive of. The river and harbor bill passed
at the last session Of congress was in many
respects steal, and Notwithstanding its
good features, has been very properly con-
demned generally throughout the country.
The east, however, has surpassed itself, has
out HeToded Herod in its deDunciations OF
The bill, and the pretty general re-
tirement to private life of those
of the iorty-seventh congress who
voted for it. The facts with refer
ence to this bill contain lesson that the
south and west should not fail to learn,
both well and at once. There has been
noticeable for some time past in the north
orn and east IN states an antagonism 10
any measure by the general government
looking to the improvement of the channel
of the Mississippi river. Anything that
would improve the Mississippi would have
q tendency to turn western commerce
towards New Orleans as u shipping point,
and correspondingly iniure New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and other eastern sea-
boards. The result has been that the repre-
sentatives Of those great commercial
centers have voted and worked religiously
against any scheme for improving or
deepening the channel of our great western
river. The river and harbor bill did some
thing in this direction, and that is the Sc
cret Of the opposition thereto from the east.
The Mississippi river belongs to no one
state or section-t is the property of the
nation, and anything that may be done in
its behalf assumes the dignity and impor-
lance of n national movement, Southern
and western congressman should keep this
fact constantly in view, and while appro-
priations for obscure, insignificant and
merely local streams and bays in different
portions of the country should be
decried, whatever will tend to
give us grand channel of commerce for
the middle, southern and western sections
of the Union should be assisted and fought
for in every way possible. The Mississippi
is the bugaboo Of the east, the only instru-
ment for the transmission of products and
the acceleration of the transactions and
growth of western and southwestern trade
which the eastern and northern cities
dread, and therefore their cry against ap-
preparations therefor. 1t is to be most sim
ccrely hoped, however, that in the next
congress the subject will receive the con-
sideration it demands, and that the demo.
Gratis will not allow the eastern press to
scare them of from the discharge of a duty
which they owe to the country.
