Death of HOratiO Seymour.


EX-Gov. Horatio Seymour died last Friday
night, in Utica, New York, at the residence
OF his sister, Mrs. Roscoe Coukling, where he
had been sick for several days. Gov. Sey-
lnour was in the 10th year of his age. He
was elected Governor of New York in 1862
and again in 1862. In 1868 he was the Dem
ocratic candidate for President against Gen.
Grant. Gov. Seymour was statesman of
marked ability and man of incorruptible
integrity. No man in the country possessed
in greater degree the confidence of the peo-
pie. The death within so short a period of
Gen. Mcclellan, Gen. Hancock and Gov.
Seymour, all Of whom were at different times
Democratic candidates for the Presidency,
and ofVice President Hendricks, is singu.
lar coincidence All Of them were popular
and their Death has caused more than pass
ing shade ofregret
Mrs. Seymour is also seriously i'll, at the
residence of Ms. Conkling
One OF the Arguments used in favor Of an
early call for constitutional convention il
that the system oftaAation in this State needs
revising. Has not tts Legislature, under
ihe present Constitution, oil the power it can
possibly have TO provide AUST and equitable
mode OF taxation for the support of the gov
arnuent? Tie Constitution declares that
'"ey,sy person in the State or person holding
property therein ought to contribute his pro.
portion Of public taxes for the support of the
government according to his sctnalworth in
real and personal properly" Surely this is
eXpiici! ems ugh 20 warrant the Legislature
in amending our tax laws wherever they nay
be deficient or work injustice TO any class Of
citizens.

observation-disclosures. Johns II. Janney and
George L. Silver, of this county, recently
paid visit TO Montgomery county, Md,
where they examined several silos and made
enquiries as TO the value of ensilage as winter
food for stock. They found that silo can
be constructed at moderate cost, and can
inch lengths, at an expense per acre no
greater than for cutting, curing and housing
field corn. The enslage is eaten readily by
stock of all kinds. 1t is said to Increase the
flow of milk and the quantity of butter from
cows, and to fatten cattle more rapidly than
hay or dry fodder The subject is one that
deserves the attention of the farmers of Har-
ford.

nothing, at least so far as this mortgage is con-
cerned. HE tolls not neither does hespin," yet
Solomon In all his glory was not arrayed like
some Of these fine gentlemen are, and it is to be
hoped he did not try to shirk his obligations as
dens he should bear himself. But there is no
abated In the least. All this interest this inter
est! there's the rub; it is this that eats up the
poor farmers substance; it is this that grinds
and leaves his family paupers. Days and years
prices high or low, that interest must come |;
wages may rise or fall, help be scarce or plenti-
full, seasons may be favorable or unfavorabe,
that interest is piling up all the same hocks and
herds may live or die. disease or death may visit
the family or not, money may be worth very
much less than when that mortgage was given,
but it goes right on drawing its six, eight, ten
per cent. interest as If times were iourishing and
plenty perpetual. How should these taxes
be distributed2 l believe they should be so
proportional that man would pay taxes on his
property and not on his debts on what he owns
and not on what he does not own. In other
words believe b should pay the tax on the 81 900
he has in the farm and A should pay them on the
mortgage, the $4,000. In this way B pays only on
what he has right to pay, and A gets well paid
for the use of his capital. But it will be asked
how is this to be done? By properly listing the
property, something on the plan of Mr.. Aliens
bill in the last Legislature. 1t can be done easily
enough IL desired, but the great trouble is that
those whose duty it is to make proper laws man
age to kill every such measure as they did his.
