of Lectures In New Haven LAST |
Evening. --==------
The first of the two courses of John L.
Stoddard lectures In this city was given
at the Hyperion last evening under the
most aattering auspices. The big theatsr
was crowded and with q cultivated and
very appreoiativs audience, and the lee
ture and views gave unlimited satisfac-
ton. To nearly all the views of Japan
was a most delightful revelation, and the
selections were most commendsble. The
lecture last night bore upon city life and
surroundings chiefly in Japan, and It will
be repeated Thursday night. Next weeks
lectures will present views OF the rural
and mountainous scenery, which are
likewise of intense interest. The lecturer
was most warmly greeted evidencing
anew his great popularity In New Haven
as everywhere else that he appears.
| As Mr.. Stoddard went on last
night for nearly two hours portraying
the cities, people, customs, the social and
| political progress, the natural marvels, the
architecture, the religious ceremonies, the
| sports of old Japan, relieving the solid
| portion of his narrative with q number of
bright and jocular Incidents, his lecture
grew In force, pioturesaueness and enjoy.
ment, which the great audience manifested
at times in the hush of absorbed interest
and again in the hearty outbursts of laugh.
ter and applause.
Mr.. Stoddard In the course of his lecture
described the city of Yokohama, its sighti
and adventures, Its beautiful hsrbor BY

He next told of the visit to the site of tn,

J hearers to the marvellous sights of Nikko
with its wonderful fountains, temples, pa

The Tax on Deeds, Wills, &c.

The LEGISLATURE of Virginia. at It's
last session, passed bill TO provide for
n more efectual method Of collecting the
revenue arising from the tax on deeds,
wills, seals Of court, &c. The plan
adopted is a system Of triplicate re-
ceipts TO be filed up and signed by the
clerk for taxes paid on each deed VIII,
&c, one copy 10 be delivered TO the
person paying such tax, another TO be
forwarded to the Auditor Of Public Ac-
counts, and the other one 20 be retained
by the clerk in his office. These receipts
are printed in blank form. and bound in
volumes OF 1000 pages, making book
IS inches long, II inches wide, and
inches thick, and weighing nearly =
pounds.
The book contains 800 receipts in til
plicate Tor taxes collected on deeds, and
800 for each subject of taxation mentioned
in the act numbering six. In the County
Court OF Highland there are annually
about 100 deeds admitted to record,
half dozen suits instituted, few II any
payments OF taxes on delinquent lands
average number of fines collected, about
a half dozen. 10 Wills and grants Of adj
ministration. and five court seals.
Upon this basis. at the end OF five
years the receipts for taxes on deeds
eighths OF the receipts for taxes on the
other subjects will remain in the office
unused. Like receipts are also sent
out by the Auditor TO clerks Of Circuit
Courts, In which no deeds are admitted
TO record, consequently the receipts for
taxes on deeds in the Circuit Courts
Will not be used.
The expense to the State. incurred In
preparing and sending out these unweildy
volumes OF clerks receipts 10 the
various clerks In the State, must have
been heavy, and where or how the reve-
nues OF the State can be increased by
this system so as to cover the expenditure
we utterly fail 10 see.
Clerks who failed to collect and dis
burse properly under the old law are so
hardened in crime that the operation OF
the present law will be futile as applied
to them.
The enactment OF this law was, no
doubt, well meant, but falling of its pur-
pose. as 1t surely will, 1t will soon run
Its course though IL may lead to a less
cumbrous and more practical system.

eREcKlNRlDCE'S NEW MOVE.
Voters at the Primaries Must Support the
Regular Ticket.

A Lexington (Ky) special. dated Sep
TENDER 9th, says: The Breckenridge man.
ayers, who have control OF the Congress
sonal Committee in this district carried
through this afternoon their scheme or
imposing Il pledge TO support the regular
Democratic nominee on all voters who
may be challenged at next Saturdays
primaries. The committee met at the
Phoenix Hotel here. and. after warm
resistance on the part OF three OF the
county chairman who favors Mr.. Owens's
candidacy, the call for the primaries is
sued some time ago was modified SO as
to require from all suspected voters a
pledge of loyalty TO the party in the con-
gressional election In November.
The additional rule provides that no
one shall be allowed to vote at the pri-
mary unless he. first. is a legal voter
In the precinct where he offers to vote;
second, is a known Democrat, who has
affiliated with the Democratic party In
the past. and. third. intends in good faith
to support at the regular election in No
vember next whomsoever may be by the
proper party authorities declared TO be
the nominee Of the party at said primary"
Opinion Is divided as to the expediency
OF this latest move on the part of Breck-
inridge's managers. and the Owens lead
ers are loudly asserting that 1t indicates
the hopeless collapse OF the "silver-
tongued" orators canvass. Any attempt
to enforce the new rule with unnecessary
stringency will be bitterly resented by
the anti-Breckinridge element. and in
the event OF Colonel Brsckinridges sue
cess this departure from party custom In
his interest will be invoked by his enc
mics in the party as a ready pretext for
supporting an Independent or Republican
opposition candidate.
