The exiled Communists have so lar, however, gone peacelully to work. -The New York commissioners of charities and corrections, when tiley make purchases for their charitable uses, certainly perlorm that duty apon a scale of *?. ne magnitude.

The new contract ls Bald to be a great relief to what ls known aa tbe "oatside poor." -The consolidation of New York and Brook? lyn will meet with opposition, chiefly from the Totora of the latter city. The advocates of the scheme urge In Its favor better local gov? ernment, a reduction In the rate of taxation, an increase In the value of Brooklyn property and the credit of having Brooklyn known as New York. The citizens of Brooklyn are emi? nently practical, however, and ignore all these reasons hat the one relating to taxation, which they meet with a general denial. -New York's last sensation In the shooting Hoe ls a singular domesiic broil. A lady, lt seems, went io an evening parly without the knowledge, and possibly without the consent, ol her lord and master, and while at the en? tertainment met a friend, a married man and a doctor, who, when the party broke ap, gal? lantly escorted her to her domicile. For some unexplained reason, wheo the lady reached her home, she was afraid to "go up stairs" to meet her husband, and the doctor undertook the delicate mission, and "went up" to meet and mollliy the irate master of the mansion. It ta evident that things did not work as pleas aotry up stairs as was anticipated, for when the doctor came down he had a ball la his groin, and had left ono In the hand of the husband. The whole subject will now, we presume, undergo judicial investigation. -The ceremonies attending tbe Inaugura? tion of Lnoalllo as King of the Hawaiian Is? lands were ibe occasion ol a high day la Honolulu. An Immense coucourse of people from ail parts ol the barbaric kingdom as? sembled to see ihe show ol inaugurating a new king, decked out in all the gaudy rai? ment thai could be obtained. The church In which the ceremonies took place was richly dressed with floral designs, ohlel among them being an Immense crown of flowers. Co bred mats, plumes of tropical leathers and great tofts of gigantic feres lent an air of seml-barbarlc magnificence to the scene. Out? side, the household troops were drawn up In a hollow eqoare, the standing army about two thousand men-giving a military element to th? show. Her Majesty Queen Emma and the officers ol the kingdom first entered and took seats on the right and left of the dais. The Prince's approach was heralded by the blare of trum? pets, the boom of artillery and the uproarious cheers ol the great crowdB outside. He enter? ed the church accompanied by the chancellor of the Kingdom, the late ministry and the royal staff. The assemblage In the church arose and saluted Lunalilo enthusiastically BB be entered, and he passed np the aisle, where the oath was administered. The King ad? dressed the nobles and representatives, ex? pressing the wish that they would seco Dd bim In bis efforts to promote the best Interests of the people. The exercises were then con? cluded, and his Majesty passed out of the church and walked to his palace amid the plaudits of the multitude. The Taxation of mortgages-A Lesson for Oar Legislature? The strong movement now on foot in the New Tork Legislature tb effect the repeal of tbe tax on mortgages, is leading to an in? structive discussion of tbe effects of that tax. Its most conspicuous impropriety ls tbat it taxes the same property twice, or at? tempts to do so; it taxes at Us full value tbe property mortgaged and taxes the mortgage on iL A farmer who owns a farm worth $5000, oo which there is a mortgage for $2000, pays taxes on $5000, and the holder of the mortgage pays taxes on $2000; so that the farm, worth only $5000, actually pays taxes on $7000; in other words, the State, in this case, collects taxes on $2000 worth of property which does not exist. By all rules of equity the farmer should pay only $5000, m in as the mortgage, or OD $3000 ; or the holder of the mortgage should go free. It might be said that to let the mort? gagee go free, by exempting the mortgage, would be an oppression to debtors and a special favor to the creditor class, or loaners of mc ney. But, on the other hand, it is argue.'; tbat tbe benefit would ultimately go to the borrower, since it would increase the amount of money offered on mortgages, cheapen the rate of interest, and enable debtors to borrow more easily. A tax is not always borne by those on whom it is di? rectly laid; this class may shift it to the shoulders of others, aod thns lt may ID the end fall upon those who least expected lt, and who not nofrequently pay it without knowing lt. Tbe advocates of tbe repeal of the mortgage tax in New York say that it is one of this kind. Pretending to be a tax on the rich creditor, it really leaves bim free, and falls with heavy force upon tbe poor debtor, who needs money and bas to borrow it; for if the creditor bas to pay a 2 per cent, tax on bis mortgage, he adds tbat 2 per cent, to the rate of interest, and makes the debtor pay 10 per cent on a loan which, otherwise, he might have io- 8 per cent. And even this ls not all. The debtor continues to pay taxes on the whole value of tbe property mortgaged, as well as tbe 2 per cent, which the mortgage shifts to bim. Traced back lo its ti nal result, it would be found tbat a farmer who owos a farm worth $5000, OD which there ls a mortgage of $2000, actualy pays taxes, first, on tbe farm itself, $5000; second, on the mortgage, S2000; making a total valuation of $7000 on which be pays annually. Io is Bald that the mortgage tax in New York bas so dis? couraged the investment of money in ibis species or security that a farmer owning $15,000 worth of real estate Ands the utmost difficulty in raising a loan of $5000 on it; be can do so only by paying a rate of inter? est which farmers cannot afford ; and thus the development of agricultura! wealth aod the improvement of farms are seriously re? tarded by the difficulty of securing favorable loans. Mr. Mann, of Troy, told the committee that all classes there were in favor of repeal. Mechanics and otber small borrowers were nuable to borrow money for building, while interest on money borrowed on mortgages was at rates of ten to fifteen per cent., be? ing enhanced by the double burden of the tax. Mortgages were a drug on the market, and something should be dooe to bring them up to the sarae value,as securities, as govern? ment aod railroad bonds. It was far more profitable now to take a government bond at five per cent, than a mortgage at ten. The present tax was so onerous that small borrowers could not get money. Mr. Hon? man, from Albany, said he bad beerj in the real estate business for twelve years. In that time be had bad hundreds of applica? tions from small borrowers owning houses, such as mechanics, for money to be raised on mortgage; but the tax on them reduced the interest to three per cent., and people would not lead money at this rate. If the law exempted mortgages from taxation, be would say that within a fortnight there would be $50,000 ready to loan out on houses, where now no one can borrow a dol? lar on them. A still more interesting point was made by a man of great experience, Mr. Mathews, of New York, who said that the tax oo mort? gages does not yield more than $500,000 revenue to the State, and if they were ex? empted from taxation the disposition to in? vest in mortgages in New York would revive and would acquire so great an impetus that money to build could be borrowed at six per cent., and the additional buildings would add millions to the taxable property of the State. Loans of estates and trusts made on them had been called io ; lt was no longer the custom to loan money to be invested in mortgages; aod, from lack of funds and other causes, the amount of building going \ on this year was from ten to fifteen millions less than in 1871. It would be instructive to inquire how much the tax on mortgages yields in South Carolina. It is safe to say that not one fourth, probably not one-tenth, of the mort? gages pay it. It is a species of property easily concealed, or transferred, and thus kept out of sight of the assessor, while the property mortgaged, being tangible and visible, never escapes. The creditor ma; escape the tax, but the debtor cannot. Au inquiry into the subject might reveal that the mortgage tax, which is a tax on money loaned, rails, not on the loaner, but on the borrower at last, and that a repeal of lt would chiefly benefit borrowers, and indirectly benefit the State, by inviting and encourag? ing the Investment of capital io agricultural Improvements. In Ale mor lam-Sf. S. W. There is a sad pleasure, ll little of consola? tion, In tbe thought ibat she who ls lost lo earth ls remembered In busy street and silent chamber, and that for her tbere lingers an un? wept tear In unaccustomed eyes. It Is natural tbat they who cherish the wife and mother, as a rareBt jewel set In the casket of home, should passionately grieve when the beautiful young life 1B abruptly brought to a close; but only the union of dainty loveliness and exqui? site amiability can win a cltiful ot lrlends, and make, of a private loss, a public calamity. Tnis was strikingly the case with the gentle lady ot whom these poor words are written. Thousands who barely knew her name ad? mired her when living, and mourn her being dead. It was a wondrous sight to see this fair young mother, tripping along, giving bright? ness to lowering days, and lighting up the evening gloom with the magic splendor of her smile. A reflection ot the azure depths dwelt lo her laughing eyes, twin roses decked ber cheeks, the mellow souther': sunlight was tan? gled In her hair. Gayest of the gay,where plea? sure reigned supreme; a ministering angel to the desolate aud poor. Aye ! ll the veil might be drawn, It would be found tbat she was, indeed, true- woman, true wife. The gleaming on the waters was all the tenderer, because below the placid surface were gems ol pureBt ray serene, which only the nearer ones and dearer ones have known. Neither the stunning blows, nor the stings and darts, of the rolllog years moved her to discontent. It was beyond tba power of fortune or mis? fortune to cause her Ivory brow to be fur? rowed by even passing Irritation. The wal might be sorely troubled, but the glowlog face told not the tale. Io very truth she was, io her purity of heart and childlike faith and trust, flt partner for times ol gladness, and meet companion for days of woe. Snatched away, a? she was, In tbe ripeness of her beauly and tbe prime of ber usefulness, what remains for us to do ? Only to cherish the memory of a gentlewoman whom a legion reverently ad? mired, and who now clasps her hands lo sup? plication, for ibem who larry here, while standing before the Jasper Throne In the Eternal Couru of God. Tlmrod. [From the Boston Advertiser.] Henry Tlmrod wa? not one of the great poets of the ages, not even one of ibe great poets of our time, but amongst the minor poets of America we are confident he deserves an honorable place, and we think wo do no one living or dead an injustice when we rank him first ot all the Bing? rs of the South cao claim for her own. There are single pieces of his which will keep a place lu American an? thologies lor a long time to come, preserving his name and memory, even If this small but delightful volume should soon be reponed "out ot print." One of them ls the poem entitled "The Rosebuds," which ls exqul Bite In Its chaste fancy and delicate finish, a notable example of a style which the poets of the modern "fleshly school" have almost made unfashionable. As we re? member what ls In the volume and what we have quoted, we feel that we have doue but meagre justice to one who now for the first and last lime Invites us to pronounce Judg? ment on bis work. Often the thought that haunts and saddens us, as we finish looking through a volume of poetry, ls that the author will certainly produce another. Henry Tlmrod will write no more. In this ibere is Just rea? son for regret. When such an he are cut off while their promise Is yet unfulfilled, lt ls not weak to credit them with ihe whole measure of our faith. The poet could do no nobler Jus? tice lhan thia. Nol long before bis own dealh he burled a friend, and wrote a sonnet In Memoriam, of which Ibese were the concluding lines : And baplv from the splendor of thy throne, Or haply from the echoes of thy psalm, something may (ail upou us, like the calm lo which thou shalt hereafter welcome us I Special Notices. pS* CONSIGNEES PER oTEAMSHLP FLAG, from Boston, are notified that she will discharge cargo TH:S DAT, at VanderhorBt's Wharf.

GAGE, (only $6,ooo per mlle,) at 76 cent? ana ac? crued lnieiest, and recommend them to Trustees and others having money to Invest, aa being the most desirable security on the market, for the fellowing reasons, to wit : FIB'T.-THEY CANNOT BB TAXED nv THE STATE, COUNTY OR CITY. The United states supreme court, in tue case of the Northern centrai Rail? road vs. Jackson, (see 7 Wallace. Supreme Court U. ?j., page 267.) decided thu, when a railroad mortgage ls a Joint one, on property lying in two or more States, the bonds secured thereby are not liable to be taxed by either of the Mates; and he same principle relieves them (rom taxation by County, City or Town. The Charlotte, Colum? bia and Augusta bonds are secured by a Joint mortgage ou pioperty lying m North Carolina, uuth carolina and Georgia. SECOND.-Because ihey are absolutely safe, bel?g secured by a drat mortgage or only $10, ooo, and a second mortgage ot only $?000 per mlle on the entire toad (rom Cha lotte to au? gusta, and on atl the workshops, bridges, fran? chise and equipments of said road. IHiao.-Because the Bale of tue lint mort-age bonus will extinguish 'he floating debt of th? roat!, ann the proceeds of thc biconU mortgage hoods will bu exclusively applied to Improving the road and adding to ttiequipments; tims eu nancie.g the value ol the property mortgaged. Ku UUTH.-Because the bonds ara coupon hondx, and the tntereu payable in New York, charlotte, Columbia or Augusta, at the option or the holder. Thus they can be collected torough any bink without expense. FIFTH.-Tue business of the road ls rapt dy In ere'Slug and the property and franchise ually m coming more valuable-the net enrulngs for the last ave u onthB being over fifty per cent, moie Mian for the corresponding mouths of the preceding TI ar. MXTH.-Tnese bonds are practically redeema ble In gold, for specie payment will certainly ne resumed before their maturity. Investors will, therefore, buy with greenbacks wortu 8T3? cents, and recclv-i tin lr pay at par-thus adding a profit or OVER THIRTY CENTS on the dollar on the First Mortgage Bonds, and OVBR THIRTY-BKVKN CKNTS on the second Mortgage Bonds, and in the meantime receiving a hlgu rate or int?r?tt. FINALLY.-As these Bouda hive a axed value la New York, charlotte, columbia and Augusta, they are considered good collaterals, ou which m Dey eau always be borrowed ior temporary purposes. JOHN B.
