Tax Everything.

The Anne Arundel Adrertissr says in
recent issue that 'there Is a growing feeling
In some of the counties of this State for the
taxation Of all property, including churches,
charitable institutions, &C., and An issue will
be made on this question at no very distant
day. There can be no question that there is
entire too much property in this State which
escapes taxation in one way or another, and
If all were made to bear their equal proper
ton the burden would be greatly ligh'ehed
The issue will be made, and it is time for the
people to commence thinking about it"
We fully agree with the Adeertiser that all
should bear their equal proportion OF taxation.
Churches should be built aud then supported,
but this should be dons by voluntary eob,ri-
buttons, and the general public should no, be
compelled to carry an additional burden be-
cause of exemptions of church, or any other
kind Of property.

&c Was Small.

The impression seems to be general tina t
the indictment of Mr.. Naior, one of the Re-
publican County Commissioners for winterlng
the county mules was petty piece of parti-
sauship, engineered in the grand jury room
by email politicians, at the instance Of still
smaller ones outside. cpon more than one
occasion members Of the Board of Commits
soners have wintered the mules, or have
urodted by the same, through those having
charge Of them, that IT, by working them in
their fields and wagons during the winter, and
in every instance so far as we can learn
those Commissioners were Democrats Mr..
Nailor did not work the mules at all during
the winter, ana when they were turned over
10 the Board they were very fat aud in SPLEEN
did condition, in fact the county, instead Of
being injured, was much benefited by having
such careful custodian of its property as Mr..
Naiior The thoughtful man, who believes in
equal justice to all, will not be favoraby i'm
pressed by the attempt to injuie Mr.. Nalor,
who is one Of our best citizens, by such
small piece Of petty partlsanship.
