TAX SAhKS.
A large number of tracts of land were at'
veitised and sold for taxes at the Com
House last Monday by county Treasuier
Hwepfictiheiser. On the list were a number
of properties on which the taxes were mi
paid for 1877, but the lauds have since bei n
sold by the Sheriff. The taxes were assessed
In tbu name of the person who was sold out
and the question has arisen as to the effect
of a judicial sale upon the lien for taxes re
turned. It H somewhat singular that in so
many years sinco the passage of the act un
der which these sales arc teld, the question
has never been decided by the Supreme
Court. It is claimed by some, as the land
have been sold by tho Sheriff sinco tho taxes
were levied, that this lias wiped out all
claims for taxes against the property. It still
stands as a debt against him who was the
owner at tho time the levy was made,but the
claim upon the properly is lost. On the olu
it hand it is contended that the land is to b
hel l responsible lor the taxes whoever th
owner may be. It is eyident that if the taxes
were lost so tar as tho lard is concerned when
it was sold by the Sheriff, tbo purchaser o
such land at a Treasurer's sale would get a
worthless ded,and be out of pocVet just th
amount ho paid for the land. The question
has been raised in Montour county by a bill
in equity (.raying for an injunction to res
train the treasurer and commissioners from
selling certain tracts assessed prior to th
Sheriffs sale of the Fame tracts. It will
probably be decided in a few months, and
will be watched with interest.
The fact that the question has never been
presented to tho Supreme Court is probably

advertised at tax sale most everybody pro
fera to pay the taxes rather than to run the
risk ot having a cloud upon his title, or go
into expensive litigation to prevent the land
from being sold. It has always been the
practice here and olswhero to sell such lane's
foi unpaid taxes. Perhaps that prac
tico will cease after the Supreme Court have
passed upon the question. There seems to
be no good reason why the taxes should be a
lien upon the land, while mortgages, judg
me nts and other debts of record are wiped
out.

$329t

is entitled to his dividends.

time on his demand? A. Yes, sir; as soon
as this suit is settled.
Q. You say $329 was paid to bim; how

The following is Gen:
dAnrimi's explanation.
"The first I ever heard of the Credit Mo
bilier was In 18G0 or 1807. I cannot fix tho
date when Georgo Francis Train called on
me mid fald he wss organizing a company
to be known as the Credit Mobiller of Araer
Icfljtobo formed on the model of the Credit
Mobiller of Prance; that the object of the
company was tn purchase lands and build
h iuses id ing the line of the Pacific railroad
at points where cities and villages wrro like
ly to spring up; that he had no doubt money
thus invested would double or treble itself
each year; that bubscriptioos were limited
to $1,000 'each, and he wishul me to sub
scribe. He showed me a long list of sub
scribers, among them Mr. Oakcs Ames, to
whom he referred me for further informa-
tiou con't rning the enterprise. I answered
that I had Pot the money to spare, and if I
had I would not subscribe without knowing
more about the organization. Mr. Train
left me, saying he would bold a place open
for me and hoped I would yet subscribe.
The Mime day I asked Mr. Ames what he
thought ol the enterprise, lie exprissed
the opinion that the Investment would be
safe and profitable.
"I heard nothing further upon the subject
forayear or more, aud it was almost for
gtittin, when sometime, I should say, during
(belong sos"ion of 1808, Mr. Ames spoke of
it npun ; mill the company had organized
was doing wer, and he thought would soon
pay Urge dividends. Ho ami that some of
the sfick had been left, or was to be left,
bis hands to sell, and I could take the
annum which Mr. Train bad offered me by
paying the $1,000 aud accrued mtere-t. H
slid that if .1 win not able to pay for it then
ho wt tild bold it for me until I could pay
or until some of thodiviJemU wcru payable.

but wnu d n.tt agree to take any Btock until
I knew f.omau examination of the charter
and the conditions of the subscription the
extent to which I should become pecuniar
ily liable, lie said be was not sure but
thought a stockholder would only be liable
for (he fat value of his stuck ; that he
had not tho slotk and papers with him, but
would have them nfierawhile. From the
case as presented I probably should have
taken the stock if I had bc-n satisfied as to
the extent of pecaniaiy liability. Thus
the matter rested for borne time, I think un
til the foil iwing year. During this interval
I understood that there were
DIVIDBNDd DUE
amounting to ncany tureo limes tho par
value of the stock. But, in the meantime, I
had heaid that the company was involved
in some enntroversy with the Pacific railroad
and that Mr. Anus' right to sell the stock
was denied When I next saw .Mr. Ames I
told him that I hud concluded not to take

as I was concerned, and I had no further

he had issued to Garfield, the dividends,
allowed him, and the balance of money paid
into bisliaud, which Gaifield pretended was
a loan. Ho submitted a memorandum o
the account in detail. It came to tho
knowledge of the omralttee that Garfield
had visited Ames with the object of inducing
him to retract or modify h's testimony, and
he was ro examined 29tb of January as
follows:
Q. You may stato whether, In conversation
with you, Mr. Garfield claims, as he claimed
before us, that the only transaction between
you was borrowing $300?
A. ho, sir; ne did not claim that with
me,
Q, Stale all you know in reference to
it.
A. I told him he know very well that that
wasadviueud; l made out a statement and
showed it to him nt the time. In our con
versation he admitted ikand said there was
$2,400 due lum iu stocks and bonds. Ho
made a little memorandum ot $1,000 and
$1,400 and said there was $1,000 of Union
Pacifio railroad slock, $1,000 of Credit Mo
biller stock, and $100 of stock or bonds.
(J. When was that memorandum made?
A. It was made in my room. I can not
remember the date. It teat tlnct the invet
ligation commenced.
Q. Have, you the memorandum that Mr.
Garfield made? A, I have the figures that
he inado. Paper shown in Garfield's hand
writing.
You sav these figures were made by Mr.
Garfield? Yes, sir.
Q. That was his Idea of what was com
ing to him ? A. Yes, sir.

OnrlleM and the Credit Mobiller.
The New York Tribune Is quite c'foful !
over Its escape from tho diet of boiled crow
ou which it would havo been obliged tn sub
sist If Grant had been nominated at Chicago.
Hut that Journal was not so tortunato Iu the
Pollination of Garfield as Its editor pre
tends. It will be forced to rat lis on n words
tu supporting the rrpubtlc.iti nomination, It
was very severe on the Congressmen who
wcro implicated tn the Credit Mobiler mat
ter nt tho ttmo it was first made public.
When that dhreputoble business was under
going Investigation In co'igrots tho Tribune
took occasion to reniurk :
'It is very easy to sew that the stock of the
Ciodlt Mobiler was a very haudsoino invest
rue.nt,provlded it could be purchased at par,
Here was wherein Oakta Ames was such t
pr litable friend to Congressmen and Sena.
tors. He let them in, ns ho phrases It, on
the ground floor. They got their stock nt
par, and the dividends which wcro ready to
bo paid wore more than enough to pay fjJ
the stock. Thii is what is called in Wall
ttreet parlance making one hand wash the
other. The actual value ofstock sold at $100
a share would have been to anybody out of
the clrclo of Otkes Ames friends not pur
chaseable for less than $300 to 100. Put
there was a film of decency thrown over the
transaction by Mr. Ames, in charging sever
al months' Interest ou the stock nt the time
it was sold to tho members of Congress.
mis interest had accrued while bo was
holding it to see where it could bo placed to
the best advantage."
That is to say that the Congressmen who
received stock from Oakcs Ames got it for
nothing or as n gilt, the accrued dividends
being sullicicnt to pay for it. Tho IKbune
went on tosay: The more recent Legislation
which Ames' transactions with members o
Congress had reference to, may be stated In
a few words. Secretary Unutncll ii.Msted
that half tho earning ol the roiul in carrying
mails and troops for the Government thould
be applied to the payment of interest on the
loans that tho government had made to the
road. The Legislation oblainid overruled
the Secretary aud enabled tho road to post
pone payment of interest until the bonds fell
duo some thirty yetrs hsnct. To sum up,it
may bo briefly stated that the Union Pacillc
and Credit Mobiller together got the pro.
ceeds of liberal United Stales laud grants, of
donations of communities near tho rnad,ani
the entire subsidy of government bonds, as
a clear profit. Tho proceeds of the mortgage
bands which displayed the government lien
were sufficient to have built tho road To
tho original stockholders in the Union Pa-
cific, the profit was something almost in
credible. A share bought for $5 subscrip.
became $100 CioJIt Mobiller, which paid
as we havo seen In the ovnlcnci concerning
the Legislators who received it, dividends
that amounted to at least treble its nominal
value. It i, of course, that all Legislation
who favored the Union Pacific railroad
swelled tho profits of tho Lpgiidainrs who
became stockholders in the Credit Mobilier,
The awkardness of this position was vastly
increased by the thin disguise of purchase
beiug torn away, under which the profit
bearing stock had been really the gilt o
Oakcs Ames. Tho denial of the facts con
verted the transaction into a criminal act.
Gen Garfield was one of the Congressmen
who where shown by the testimony taken
before the investigating committeo to have
received Credit Mobilier stock from Oakcs
Ames. Hewentbeforo that committee and
deuied on his oath that he ever held any o
the. stock. So then it appears that the re
publican candidate for President was one of
those Congressmen whoso denial of the
facts," according to the Tribune "converted
tho transaction into a criminal act." Mark,
now.lhearticleiuthe Trlbunefiom which these
extracts are made was published mouths a
ter the death of Horace Greeley and whllo
Whitelaw lleid, tho present editor of that
sheet, had control of its columns. Tho
question arises, has Mr. lleid changed his
former opinion of tho couduct cf the Con.
gressmen who received Credit Mobilier stock
as a gift from Oakes Ames? If not he is
convicted by his own newspaper of support
ing a caudidato lor Pres'dent who was guilty
ot a "criminal act." This is tho severe and
inexorable logic ot the matter and thero is
no possibility of escaping it. The Tribune
will not eat crow but it will be obliged to
masticate its own editorials io supporting
Girfield for President.-Wrioi.
TKltlilliLK DISASTKIi ON LO.NU ISLAND
SOUND.
Two steamers, the Stonington and Narra.
gansett, collided on jong Island Sound on
Saturday night about half ptst eleven. The
former was on its way from Stonington to
Now York, and the latter from New York
to Stoniuclon.
When they had got into the open waters
of the Sound a thick fog fell over all. Foes
are no rarity and passengers who lrqu ent
these routes are accustomed to the hoane
whistleiof thestearaers. The pilots,throuj(h
long practico, can tell by tho sound the rela
tive position of tho vessels, although novices
are all at sea when they attempt to point out
the direction from which the noise of a fog
horn comes. The passengers on the Nar'a-
gansett did not dream of danger, lor the
steamer had run over Ihesa waters for fif
t?en years,ln every sort of weather, aud had
never had missed a trip. Py eleven o'clock
at night all who had state rooms retired to
rest. About fifty, who bad neither state
rooms nor berths, ottled themselves to sleep
the best they could ou the sofas and easy
chairs which were strewn about the richly
furnished saloon nnd a very few lingered on
the decks- All was quiet and only tho splash
ing of tho water and the noire of the wills
ties broko the stillness of the night. The
Narragansett bad reached the Cornfield
Light, which is five inilo west of the Con
nectlcut river, when sho heard the whistle of
the Stonington coming iu the opposite direc
tlon. This was at about 11:30. The Bignals
sounded as If there was a good distance cast
and west between tho two boats. If there
was such a distance,and it each vessel steered
to tho left, then they ought to have passed
each other safely by, Put in a moment the
lights of the two vessels shown through the
fog. The helm of tho Narragausett was
thrown sharp about, which brought her
broadsldo to the Stonington, The Stoning,
ton plunged on and struck her oa tho star
board quarter, just iu front of tho wheel.
There was a tremendous crash. The bow of
theStonington was forced In, The side of
the Narragansett was cut and crushed almost
to the water's edge. Water poured Intn the
hole aud the steamer began to sink. Hut
this was not all, The gas began escaping,
It caught fire and tbe flames fastened on
to the wood work and spread rapidly,
Then followed awildsceno of contusion.
Passengers rushed from their slate rooms
with only their night cloths on, and no
power could allay the panic. Boats and
rafts vere lowered and many jumped over
board. In a short time the Narragansett
sank,aud many of the passaugers were pick

the Steamer City of New York, which bad
arrived on the scene. There were about
four hundred people on board, and 48 wero

In the light of recent history, nnd of the vi
olence, fraud, corruption and Irregularity
which have frequently prevailed nt such
elections, it may paslly bo conceived that
tho exertion of the power, If It exists, may
bo necessary to the stability of nur form of
government.
As to tho relations between tho Statts
and tho general government, ho says :
"Tho true Inlercstsof the people of this
country require that both the national and
state governments should bo allowed with
out jealous interference on either side, tn
exercise all the powers which respectively
belong to them according to a fair and prac
tical construction of the constitution. State
rights and the rights of the United States
should bo equally rcpfcled. Uoth are es
i-cntlal to tho preservation of our liberties
nnd the perpetuity of our institution". Put
in endeavoring to vindicate thp one w
should not allow our zeal to nullify or Im
pair the other."
He then quotrs at Itngth from a Supreme
Court decision ns to the duty of marshals t
keep tho peace at the polls, which l o is is
shows tho wisdom of tho existing law, an
justifies him iu his disposition not to se It

A NEW DEPARTURE!
BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Byrncuse, N. Y.
Aro now putting on tho market a Plow that
Is ns much superior to any Plow heretofore
raado as tho Plows ot tho past few years havo
been superior to thoso raado halt a century
"fU combines all tho excellencies of any Plow
In use ,
It obviates all the objections modo to any
other Plow.
In addition It embraces several now features
ot tho greatest value, for which wo havo ob
tained cxcluslvo Patents.
ltsIieara.Clcvls, Jointer standard and Wheel
Standard will bo STEEL, nnd Its mold board
ivUlboacomposlllonof steel and Iron chilled
under a process tor which wo havo also
obtained on cxcluslvo Patent. It will bo
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will bo eighteen pounds less than
our present Btjles.
A nrst-class steel Plow, mado In tho or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-lwo
dollars. Inferior steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
Tho prlco of our new now will bo but
Seventeen llollnra, and It wUl bo tho
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of tho
very best kinds ot tho ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour In soils whero nil steel plows
nnd all other plows haTO hitherto proved a
failure
With this now will bo Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
wo havo also obtained a Patent, and which Is
also a great Improvement, both ns regards
btrenglh and wear.
Tho Jointer can bo shifted so ns to tako
raoro or less land, and also more or less pitch,
nnd It can always bo kept on n lino w 1th tho
now.
Tho wheel will run under tho beam or ono
sldo of It as desired, and alwaj-s kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
riowlng, and also for two or three horses.
Tho handles can bo adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on tho samo Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams arc going out ot uso becauso
theyfchrtnk, swell and warp, and never run
two seasona alike.
Iron beams arc too heavy.
Malleablo beams becomo demoralized and
bend, which Is much worso than to break.
A Steel beam Is tho necessity ot tho day. It
Is threo times as rtrong and v cry much lighter
than any oilier stylo.
When tre say a Mold board Is chilled, tho
farmers know It Is so.
Wo do not palm on on them a composition
of various mcuils and caU it chilled metal.
We wont agents for this new Plow In every
town In this btatc.
Wo can giro but a very small discount to
them, but wo will pay tho llallroad Freight.
Wo propose to placo this Plow In tho hands
of Farmers as near tho cost ot manufacture
as possible.
It will bo tho Utl Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also bo tho theajxnU
Tersons therefore who aro not wlUlng to act
as agents on tho principle that " a nlmblo six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
tfThls Is tho only btccl Chilled now la
tho World.
Steel costs several times moro than Iron.
Cut this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can bo sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this prlco with that of any Iron now
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would bo at flvo dollars and a half.
Where thero aro no agents wo will, on re
ceipt ot Seventeen DoUara, bend a Plow to any
llallroad station In the Stato and pay tho
freight. Address,
