THIS from the message of Elk gov,

THIS from the message of Elk gov
ernor Berry should have prompt at
tention at the hands Of our legisla
tors
The reference by the secretary to
the exemptions of certain railroad
property from taxation by the reve-
nue. law of 1883 demands the atten-
ton and consideration of the gener
al rs sembly. Section 5 OF article Ii
Of the constitution of the state pro
vides that all property subject to
taxation shall be taxed according TO
its value; that value to be ascertain.
ed in sucn manner as the general as
sembly shall direct, making the
same equal and uniform throughout
the state. No one species of prop,
ertv from which tax may be col
lected shall be taxed higher than
other species of property of equal
value" There are certain excep-
lions TO the above provisions, but
railroad property is not one OF them.
Some mode or manner should be de
yised by the general assembly by
which the value of railroad property
can be ascertained. 1t should be as
sessed as all other property, at it's
true value, nothing more nothing
less, This property, like all other,
is entitled to and receives the pro
lection OF the laws, ana should bear
It's equal proportion of the burden OF
taxation.
1t is a notorious fact that the prop
erty belonging to the railroads in
this state have not borne equal bur.
dens of taxation. They have paid
taxes upon agreed valuations much
less than other property. The meth
DDS used to assess railroad property
are not those used in assessing other
property. No body wants to Cypress
railroads, but they should not be
favored any more than others. Their
property and taxes should stand on
exactly the same footing as ether
property and taxes, and then there
will be no grumbling. We are de
cidedly in favor of a liberal policy
towards railroads, but not one that
would create special protection for
their property or special exemption
from taxation.

HERE is a supreme court decisic

HERE is supreme court decision
which suggests great deal to clerks,
and lawyers especially, who will
doubtless thank us for its publica-
ton
MacTighe VS.. Tillar; appeal from Bradley
Verbal opinion.
This case was affirmed in Janua-
ry, 1884, and a Judgment was rem
dered in favor of appellee for cost,
and he issued execution and collect
ed the cost taxed here, and 1t was
paid over to him. He fled a motion
during this term to have the costs OF
the court below, which had not been
returned by the clerk, taxed now.
and judgment rendered for him here.
HELD: That while the court had
the power to grant the motion it was
declined, on the ground that the ap.
pellee had neglected to haye the cost
below sent up before the submission
of the case, and let it be decided,
and allowed the term to pass, and
had collected the cost adludged TO
him by execution, and received IT,.
Under these circumstances the court
would not grant the motion TO rem
der judgment for .he court below
now.
NoTE--The reporter would call
the attention of clerks and attorneys
to this almost universal omission TO
certify the cost Of the court below,
with the transcript; as without IT,,
the party prevailing cannot have the
cost below taxed here in his favor.
And clerks also frequently omit to
send up copy of the appeal bond,
without which no judgment can be
rendered for the 10 per cent dam
ages in case of atiirmance, and no
judgment can be rendered against
the sureties here. Clerks will please
take due notice and govern them
selves accordingly.

The following decision of supreme
court is of especial interest to the
people and is one of the most sensi
BILE things imaginable:
Vaughan VS.. Norwood; two cases; appeals
from Sewer.
HELD: That, note with seal
made after the adoption OF the con-
stitution Of 1874, is not barred by
limitation short of ten years. While
it might have been the intention of
the convention of 1874, to provide
for such notes only during the pc
riod which elapsed between the
adoption of the constitution OF 1868
and that Of 1874, but if so that in
tention is not expressed IN the Ian
guage OF the constitution, and there
fore, until the legislature may see
proper to change it the "senseless"
use of scroll for a seal will contin
ne to have the effect OF making a
difference as to the statute of limita-
tons as to these sealed instruments,
doubling as to them the period OF
limitation of notes executed without
this "senseless" formality. Reversed.

indicates the wisdom of capital pun,

SOME idea of the Importance and
character of the proposed Isthmus
Canal may be drawn from the re-
marks of the New York Evening
Post:
The Isthmus Canal is not play
thing. 1t is a line of communities
tion between two oceans intended
for the benefit of mankind. We can,
of course, have private canal of our
own, If we choose to pay for it, but
we cannot keep it private without
building navy powerful enough to
keep 1t open in time of war at both
ends, and we cannot make it pay in
terest on the cost without opening ii
to the ships of all nations in time OF
peace.
This canal will be big job taking
it from whatever standpoint you
will.

In regard to England's Egyptian

They are taking steps in New
York City to prevent sci! outs, by
separating the state and national
and city elections, as the following
from the New York World will show:
A Spring Election bill, which it is
said will be fathered by Mayor
Grace, will be presented in both
houses this week. 1t is understood
that the measure will not interfere
with the present Mayor, Comptroller
or Aldermen or the term to which
they were elected. The Aldermen
who will be elected this fail are to
be in office until Jan. l, 1887. The
first spring election is to take place
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in April next year, and
every second year thereafter. There
are to be elected a Mayor, President
OF the Board of Aldermen and mem
bers OF the Board, the terms of the
officials to be elected in April, 1886,
are to begin on June l of that year,
except the Mayor and Aldermen,
whose terms will not begin until
Jan. l., 1887, and shall end on June
/, 1883. The mayor in office Jan. l.,
1888, is empowered to appoint a
Comptroller, who will go out of office
on the following lst of June. In
April, 1888, Comptroller is to be
elected for four years. The bill,
when 1t is presented and all its pro
visions are known, will probably
meet with support from those who
are in favor of dlvorcing local poll
tics from national and state politics,
ana for home rule government for
New York City.
