8 . : ¥ Bin e ) The Daily Teauscript, SUNDAY, ‘DEC, 20, 1868. : Ss == WueErE ARE MORTGAGES TAXARLE? —IMPORTANT Case: — An important . ase, involving the question whether mortgages are taxabié where the property is or where the holder ef the mortGage resides, was tried in the District Court, before Judge McFarland, yesterday. The facts are these : James Whartenby holds mortgages on property in San Francisco, to the amount of $112,000. Mortgages made there have, usually,a clause binding the mortgagor to pay taxes, and therefore, Mr, Whartenby,though adefendant, is not affected individually by the decision. These mortgages have all been taxed in San Francisco and have. also been taxed in this county, Mr. Whartenby being a resident. San Francisco claims that the mortgages are taxable there, and Nevada county that they are taxable where the holder resides. Suit was brought by this county for the taxes, J. BR, MeConnell appearing for plaintiff, and Judge Niles for defendant: The ase Was yesterday submitted, and .decided by Judge ‘MeFarland in favor of the county, he holding that mortgages are taxable where the mortgagor resider. Tlie case will be taken to the Supreme Court where this question will be fully settled. “If Judge McFarland’s decision is sustained it will make ‘quite a difference in favor.of outside counties, as much capital of the interior is invested dn mortgages: in San Francisco. ‘To ‘Nevada cbunty alone it will make a dif‘ference of several hundred thousand dollars inthe assessment roll. ‘THe Berrixe Casss.—Two betting gases have been decided in. the ‘District Gourt, «In the case of Sandere vs. Wobier, ‘the litter took an interest of $200-in's five hundred dollar bet made ‘by Grieg. The latter, was. garnisheed by Sanders, and notified Nesmith, the. stake holder, to give up the money, whi¢h he did, The case was decided ageinst the plaintiff, and the winaing parties got the money. In the other case, Dooling vs, McGrath, plaiatiff gained the sult, This latter was a bet of $500 a side,McGrath being the looser. After election Dooling sold his saloon ‘to McGrath, and immediately attached the stakes. The attachment was held to.be good and the money given to plaintiff, betting not being recognized by law. Cex: Fouances.-On the ist of May "last the Board of 'Trastees entered upon the discharge of their duties and the city debt amounted to $7 400, This débt resdited from ‘the extraordinary expense required for building and repairing bridges. The tax had pre~ viously bees 70 cents on each $100, and a bill.was passed by the last Legislature authorizing the city ‘to levy a special tax of fifty cents for two years, The Board of Trustees for the present Year only levied a special tax of thirty cents) making the total tax, including the Fire Fand tax $1'00 on each $100. It is. now estimated that the debt will be reduced to $1,500 by.the first of May next, and the Trustees are confident that in anotheriyear they will be able without levying any special tax to pay ae entirely, and have. surplus ‘to conduct the city affairs on a Aah basis. They propose to manage © with strict economy the affairs of the town ‘and to protect the interests of taxpayers, They live done remarkably well thus. far. /Pusrrtor Court, Dec. 19th—March vs March.

Hachange, Yes, it is new as the latest’ fashions ‘are new, simply because it has not been in vogue for some time and is a little different in the application, The phidosophérs of india and afterwards certain of the Greeks taught the # in relation to the world, and the new theory is only the application of the same doctrine to the: Universe. You can’t play that for new philosophy. THE Fort Wayne (Ind) Gazette tells of a certain farmer in Allencounty who two years ago, sold a farm, but would never tell even his wife what he did with the money received therefor About a month since the wife died, and a, few days afterward. the man followed her. The executors proposed to sell a lot of buckwheat, ‘and, while measuring it, found over $2,000 in gold and a quantity of silver coin underneath the grain, doubtless the proceeds of the sale of the farm two years before. TELEGRAPHIC despatchus from the United States to Great Britain have heretofore been communicated to English readers on what fs called a system of retardation, or the least: possible news at the last-possible moment. The returns ‘of the Presidential election of Nov. 8d, however, werefurnished in the London papers of November 4th, in the form of an intelligent’ summary, and Englishmen’are congratulating themselves that this unanticipated promptitude may be the sign of a. more energetic style of managing the transmission of news, a I PETROLEUM V. suggests that President Johyson apply for the Spanish throne.
