Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO.. Nf?. 19 Broad street. Charleston, S. C. Wit (Efyvflegtmi <Wtlv?. MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1873. THE CHAELKSTON DAILY NEWS "IB designa ..ted as the newspaper for the publication of. "all legal notices, and official adverlisements, "for the County of Charleston, under the act "of February 22d, 1870, entitled an act to regu? late the publication of all legal and public t>notlcea.w _ NE IFS OF TBE DAT. -George Francis Train is still Imprisoned In the New York Tombs, on the charge of sending obscene matter through the malls, refusing to give ball. -One of tbe critics aptly described Bulwer as "a man of letters among men of the world, and a man ol the world among men of let-1 tere." -Onslow and Whalley, members of the British Parliament, have been fined one hun? dred, pounds for publicly accusing Sir John Duke Coleridge of conspiring to deprive the Tichborne claimant of his rights. u -With the death of Right Hon. Stephen Lushington, the eminent English Jurist, In Great Britain, perished, lt is believed, the i secret of the Byron scandal, which Mrs. Stow-j gained a questionable notoriety by publishing a few years ago. He was Lady Byron's counsel. The deceased was ninety-one years old, and was greatly honored and esteemed. -It ls related of a certain minister of Maine, who was noted for his long sermons, with many divisions, that one day when he was advancing among the teens he reached at length a kind of resting place in his discourse, when, pausing to take breath, he asked the. question, "And what shall I Bay now ?" A voice from the congregation earnestly res? ponded "'Say Amen." -A French paper gives a detailed account ol the manufacture ol false eyes In Paris, Irom which the curious fact appears that the average sale per week of eyes lor the human bead amounts to four hun tri d. One of the leading dealers in this ai " *.e carries on a ? business In a saloon of great magnificence; his servant has but one eye, and the effect of an eye wanted by a customer Is conveniently tried In the valet's bead. The charge ls about ten dollars per eye. For the poor there are second-hand eyes which have been worn and then exchanged for new ones. -During the past week elections of United States senators have taken place In the Legis? latures of several States, as follows : Pennsyl? vania, Simon Cameron, re-elected; New York, Roscoe Con kling, re-elected; Wisconsin, Tim . othy O. Howe, re-elected; Illinois, Richard J. Oglesby; Nevada, John P. Jones, (all Re pu h ll-. cans;) Georgia, General John B. Gordon, Con- j ser vail ve, and famous as a Confederate Gene? ral daring the war. The main competitor ol General Gordon was Hon. A. H. Stephens, who bas since been nominated to Congress to,take the place of Representative Wright, deceased. As all candidates in this field have withdrawn in favor of Mr. Stephens, there is no doubt of his election. -The "Count Plerrelond," as Louis, the son of the late Napoleon III and the Empress Eu? genie, is now called, is said to be attentive to his studies in the military academy at Wool? wich, England. Hts most Intimate compan? ion Is the soo of Dr. Conneau, the Emperor's physician. . Hu, however, not only goes up to class and drills with Hie other youths ol the same standing in the college, but Joins with them ID their amusements. He is a good athlete, and particularly expert at fencing. As be not only reads English but speaks lt well, he ; is enabled to pursue his studies in our lan? guage to the same extent as other students. Special privileges are allowed him. Instead of residing in the college he lias a house of his own outside the wall, young Conneau living with him. Then a speolal bell has been put up In front of his house to give bim notice of drill hours, ?kc. He ls particularly boy? like in all bis deportment. -?ort Deposit, Md., has for several days been one of the points of Interest, on account | the peril in which It was and ls placed irom Ice and flood. Monday the Ice collected and dammed the Susquehanna, so that its waters poured through the streets ol the town with a sweep that took almost everything movable In Its course. The whole Iront ot the town for over a mlle In length, and extend? ag back- j ward an average distance of five hundred feet, bas been submerged, and houses with their furniture have been left to the mercy of the j rushing watersr In the main street the water I kept rising Inch after Inch until there was six feet of lt, and lt was only checked at the cen? tre ol the town. The railroad track was, inundated, the telegraph office flooded, and the operator lorced to move his business back upon the hill. At McCall's ferry Ice was plied np thirty feet hlgh% and wedged In between the banks of the river. Ia Its course through the town the flood swept away everything not very substantially grounded, like wharf build logs, sheds, small offices, ?tc. Only two or tb-ee houses ia the town escaped injury ot aoy kind. ' -An interesting narrative about some sea serpents, rivalling In Its strange and exciting details the fiction of Yicior Hugo, is given by a sea captain who has Just returned from China, alter a voyage of ninety-nine days. The captain states that one afternoon while on the outward passage from Sao Francisco, and when nearlog New South Wales, his atten? tion waa attracted by the cries ot the seamen on the foretopsail yard, who directed his at? tention to a strange-looking object only Ave or six leel from the ship's weather quarter. As near as he could estimate from an unsieady Tiew ol the reptile lt was not less than filly feet In length and two feet in diameter, with a head somewhat larger than the body. When the monster was about twenty feet astern of the ship lt lilted its head above the water, opened Us mouth and looked at the ship with apparent surprise. IIB color was a deep brown, with occasionally a light spot on 11B Bides. Io less than five minutes alter passing this monster another of the same species, ap? parently, appeared on the other side of the ship within fifteen feet of lt. The weather was as clear and calm as could be imagined, and all the ship's crew witnessed the two monsters SB they lay colled up on the surface ot the Bea. The captain insists upon it that his ls not anotbei Nahant story, but a true record of his experience while on his voyage. An Unjust Tax. The general tax law provides that ''all "real and personal property in this "State ****** * "shall be subject to taxation." There is no warrant, either ir. the organic law or the statutes, for taxing tho same property twice; cor is there nny shadow of authority for taxing what does not exist. One of these things the State contrives to do. As tbe law stands, real estate in South Carolina is taxed at ils full value, whether it is encumbered or not. This is the griev? ance. The nominal owner of mortgaged real estate pays taxes upon the foll value of the property, and the holder of the bond and mortgage pays taxes upon the amount which the mortguge covers. In this way the same property is taxed twice; first, as real estate.and second, as personal property. There is, in practice, a greater wrong than this. A person who buys a piece of real estate for $20,000, paying one iourth in cash ?nd securing the balance by bond and mortgage, is not, in law or in fact, the owner of that property, until the last cent of the sum for which it was mortgaged is paid. The nominal owner can sell the property subject to the mortgage; in the case given he sells an interest of $5000 in property worth $20,000, and mortgaged for $15.000. The debt of S15.000 duo by tbe mortgagor is not taxable property. It is a liability, not a thing in possession. Yet the State compels the purchaser of the real es? tate to pay taxes upon what he bas not paid for and does not own. When the time for making the tax returns comes round, tbe purchaser of the piece of real estate, costing $20,000, is assessed upon its entire value. Having paid $5000, he is taxed as though be bad paid $20,000. In other words, he is taxed, by the Stale, upon $15,000 which are not tis, except in name. The State and city taxes are about 3A per cent. In the case cited, the tax is levied upon $20,000, and amounts to $700. This is actually the tax upon the $5000 in cash paid on account when the property was bought. Upon what the purchaser really owns, the tax is jost fourteen per cent. This grossly unjust plan is not adopted to prevent the mortgaged property from avoid? ing taxation. The holder of the mortgage is compelled to return the accompanying bonds as personal property, and pays taxes upon them. A3 before shown the mortgagee pays taxes upon the identical property upon which, in the form of real estate, the mort? gagor has already paid the tax. The equitable plan clearly is to exempt tho real estate from taxation to the extent of the mortgages upon it; or else to exempt the bonds and mortgage from taxation. Which is the better course? It is fairest that the real estate should go free. The mortgage is a tangible possession, bearing interest. But the mortgaged properly, nom? inally owned by the morigagor, is the prop erly of the mortgagee, and it is a great wrong to compel the mortgagor to pay taxes upon what is not bis. The enactment of a law providing that, in returning real estate for taxation, the amount of the mortgages may be deducted from tbe gross value would be a measure of public justice and practical reform, and we trust that ibe members of the Legislature will give tbe matter their immediate atten? tion. The whole State is interested in it, and there is no danger that tbe bonds and mortgages would escape taxation, as the mortgagor might be required to report, in making bis return, the names of the balders of ibe mortgages upon his property. These would pay no more than they now pay, and the mortgagor of real estate would cease to be taxed upon what be does not possess. Water ! . Tbe Columbia correspondent of the Courier says that Mr. Hurley will certainly defeat the bill to incorporate ibe Charleston Water Company, unless the citizens interest them? selves in its behalf; also, that stock in tbe Hurley Waler Company has been offered to members of ibe Legislature to induce them, to vote against the new water bill. -The bill which Mr. Hurley is striving to defeat is worth having, and is, therefore, worth working for. But it ls very difficult to persuade tbe citizens of Charleston of tbe necessity of taking a personal interest in schemes of public importance. They are ready enough to scold ?nd Dont, when a proposition which they support is defeated ; forgetting that organized work, on their part, would probably have changed the re? sult. This is not tbe way in which great cities are made. Look at Savannah and Augusta, Wilmington and Richmond ! These cities, by sheer importunity, obtain what they want. Whenever any project looms up which places their interests in jeopardy they besiege the powers that be until it receives its quietus, and whenever something bene? ficial is proposed they use like means to in? gare its carrying ont. Sometimes they fail, of course; but they are not disheartened, and, as soon as occasion serves, they try again. More or this temper is needed in Charles? ton. Faith without works does not make a city. There is more help in the man who gives a day to the task of promoting wise, and defeating unwise, legislation, than in a score" of men who are blandly confident that things will, somehow, "come ont right." Suppose that the experiment be tried in the matter of the Charleston Water bill? Every thoughtful citizen is in favor of it. How many are willing to go to Columbia to secure its passage ? Help for Charleston ! What has become or the bill to exempt buildings io the burnt district of Charleston from taxation for a term of years ? The bill to aid and encourage manufac? tures sails smoothly along, but the measure which would lead to the prompt rebuild^ of this city slumbers io some pigeon-hole, and, unless waked up soon, has no chance of passing. There may be some objection s to the form of the present bill, ioasmucb us a direct exemption from taxation is not con? stitutional. But this difficulty is easily avoided, as in the case of the bill for the en? couragement of manufactures, by allowing a drawback equal to the amount of the State tax upon the improvements put upon the property. It is not expected that the vacant lots be exempte? from tax? ation; the object being to encourage rebuilding, without reducing the gross value now subject to taxation. The claim is only for the exemption of the new build? ings, and other improvements, in the burot district. The members of the Charleston delega? tion know how important it is to the etty, and the State, that the burnt district bill be pressed upon the notice of their colleagues. We wish to think well of them, and they will merit hearty encomiums if they take the measure np and consent to no further delay in its consideration and passage. Dir. ?John T. Fortl. This gentleman, whose name is so pleas? antly associated by our people with the re? vival of the drama in Charleston after the war, is once more among us, bringing the great Jefferson to honor thc boards of the Academy. Mr. Ford, in the extent and multiplicity of his theatrical enterprises is without a rival among American managers; and we are glad to say that his last bold venture in aftording the Southern public a chance to see the original Rip Van Winkle is meeting with all the success which the genius of Jefferson and the popularity and tact of the untiring Baltimorean so richly deserve. _ ._ The Macon and Aagoata Railroad. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Ma? con and Augusta Railroad, held in Augusta last week, W. J. Magrath, Esq., of Charles? ton, was elected President, and Dr. J. A. S.

"Greene, of the Charleston Delegation, will be "called up In a few days, and deserves the "cordial support of the Legislature. The "question of pure water is a vital one to the "health and comfort of the citizens of Charles "ton, and this bill ls singularly free from any "objectionable features." -The Marlboro' Times sees nothing In Gov? ernor Moses's message to condemn, and many things to recommend. -Mr. Jerome P. Chase has assumed edito? rial charge of the Florence Pioneer. -The Georgetown Times says that great difficulty has been experienced by planters in gelling an adequate amount of laborers to carry on tbelr planting operations.
