First, it is tlie established law that all property must be taxed,
and the Legislature has no power to exempt any property, and,
second, the Legislature has declared that all property shall be
tared, and attempted to include in the definition of property all
chosea in action. But to declare that it is the duty of the assessor
to assess all " things in action," is to give a construction to the
Constitution which must lead to the grossest absurdities. The
Constitution in its application to the various departments of the
Government, and to individual rights, must receive such a construction as to give it a practical operation. There would be a
contradiction in the single section of the Constitution, if it were
construed as requiring that all property should be taxed equally
and uniformly with reference to its value, and that the word
property includes those things practically incapable of an appraisment bearing any definite relation or proportion to other things
or property. That causes of action are dependent on too many
contingencies to be capable of appraisement which shall accord
with any rule of equality or uniformity of value, is too plain for
argument. All property which is visible and tangible is capable
of such assessment; chosea in action are not.
The word
" property" has been used in our language in several senses but
in the case in hand we cannot be limited to the meaning given it
by the Code, but may also— and such is our duty look for its
meaning in the Constitution. The Constitution provides that no
property, as property, shall be taxed, except such as is capable of
B valuation by the assessors, which shall be ratably equal and
uniform with that affixed to all other property.
*
*
*
It is property in possession or enjoyment, and not merely in
right, which must ultimately pay every tax.
The LegisUture
may declare that a cause of action shall be taxed, but a cause of
action cannot pay the tax and this because it has, and can have,
no value independent of the tangible wealth out of which it may
be satisfied. In a certain sense a promissory note or any credit ig
property. Whether " solvent," as the term is ordinarily employed,
or not, it may be assigned for value; it would be difficult, however, to explain why a note discounted at 20 per cent would be
less appropriately called " property" than one sold at par.
In
any case, a credit has no value other than the value it has
acquired by reason of the probability that the property, having
present actual value, upon which a tax is levied and collected,
will be applied to the satisfaction of the claim it represents.
He
who has the property in possession must be taxed on its value,
and the value once taxed cannot be relaxed without a violation

have been desired. Although a considerable quantity of rain
&
and snow has fallen, the winds liave had a very drying influence,
bill there are complaints from the lowlands that there is excessive
moisture, and that agricultural work is, in consequence, much
impeded. The trade for wheat during the week, though wanting
in animation, has been firmer in tone, and choico qualities of
produce have realized an improvement of about Is per quarter.
The supplies of home-grown wheat are falling off, and our
importations of foreign produce are not only on a small scale, but
promise to be below our requirements during the next few weeks. Oregon California, Ist mort., 7s

telegram from H.
Osterberg, received last week, in Davenport, la., stated that a
meeting of the owners of the road had been held, at which his
transactions as agent were approved, and be was authorized to
build the Rockford road to Rockford, and money sui&cient to do
was voted.

inissioners have resolved to sell this road at public sale in

Nashville, Tenn., May 8. The sale is in consequence of the failure of the present company to pay instalments of the money due
on its purchase of the property from the State. The balance due
is $124,210, payable in State bonds.

Tlie money Market and Financial Situation. The financial markets this week have generally been sluegish.
The
popular notion of a stringency in money about the first of April,
which is just now an idea more historical than practical, undoubtedly exerts a certain influence in checking operations, and
induces some parties to postpone their purchases of securities or
other financial transactions till after that dale.
Money continues easy, however, and there appears to be little
anticipation of any real stringency in the market during the
present season the moderate decrease in the b»nk reserves being
considered as of no special importance, and not likely to continue much longer. On call loans money is offered freely at 3@5
per cent., and even on time loans for 30 days secured by government collaterals, we have heard of loans at 3 per cent. For
strictly prime commercial paper there is a good demand at 5(36
per cent., any transactions under 5 per cent, being on such exceptionally choice grades as to hardly form any standard for

The
report says, of the business of the year, that the long coal
strine very materially decreased the iucome, the reduction in the
receipts from coal transportation being $917,045 81. The general
business depression continued during the year, and was more
sensibly felt than previously. There was also a loss of revenue
from the final wihdrawal of the coal trade of the Delaware
Lackawanna & Western Rsilroad, and of the business of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad. The business derived from the opening
of the new road to Long Branch and Sea Girt has been very satisfactory, notwithstanding the late periods at which the several
sections were opened. During the coming year it gives every
promise of developing into a highly remunerative traffic, as the
business of that part of New Jersey finds its way to the new
outlet.
The ordinary expenses
year include those of the Long
Branch Railroad, and yet show a small reduction. Much work
has been done on the main road which might have been deferred,
had it not been thought wise to profit by the low prices of labor
for the
and material, and by the limited number of

ior the amount required to make up the dividends of the year.
It is expected that the business of the current year will be amply
sufficient to keep up the ordinary dividends.

The coal strike had, of course, a very serious effect on the business of this company, both reducing the receipts and increasing
the proportion ot expenses to tlie business done. The company
is well organized and consolidated, and in a position to do a large
trade at small cost. The tonnage of the year was 1,353,.551 tons
Wyoming coal, 338,770 tonsi Ilazleton, and 397,436 tons Lehigh
in all, 2,089,747 tons.
The receipts of the company from all
sources amounted to $10,520,511 09; the expenses to ^10,109.792 CO,
leaving the balance as earnings on the coal of $410,718 49. Included in the expenses are $539,000, the cost of maintaining the

On May 1, 1875, the Detroit Hillsdale & Southwestern Railroad
Company took possession of the road and property purchased by
it, and formerly belonging to the Detroit Hillsdale & Indiausk
Railroad Company.
The property consisted of sixty-five miles of track from
Ypsilanti, on the Michigan Central Railroad, about thirty miles
west of Detroit, to Bankers on the Fort Wayne Jackson & Saginaw
Railroad, and a few houses and small quantity of rolling stock.
All of the buildings and rolling stocli were found to be in need

Direct Cable Company. The annual meeting of the Direct
United States Cable Company was held in London March 28.
The policy of the directors in maintaining an independent organ-
was sustained. The directors, having invited Sir William
F. J. Bramwell to investigate the cause of the
fractures, tliese eminent electricians reported that they were done
maliciously. During the time the Company was enabled to work
uninterruptedly for a period of upwards of a month the traffic

receipts increased until the fracture of Dec. 10, when tliey reached
an average gross sum of nearly £600 a day, thus giving the Company a gross receipt of messages reaching nearly to 30 per cent,
of tUe whole cable traffic. The capital of the Company not having been found sufficient, chiefly iu consequence of the change in
the route of the cable, sanctioned by the extraordinary general
meeting held on the 7ih of August, 1873, and the heavy expenditure for repairs, the directors have, under the powers given to
them by the articles of association, created debentures of £100^
each, bearing interest at 7 per cent, per annum and repayable in
five years, for £100,000.

the company a sum of £400,00(b The stock of which this issue
forms a portion was authorized by an act of the Canadian Parliament in 1874, for the purpose ot enabling the companv to clear
off a certain amount ot preference securities bearing cliigh rate
of interest. The proceeds of the present issue were to be applied
to the extinction of £71,000 International Bridge bonds, £16,000
Montreal & Cbamplain bonds, and to the payment of £43,000 due
for certain cars and stations, making together a total of £130,000.
The balnnce of £270,000 is required to cover existing liabilities
of the company, in consequence of the directors being unable to

Hannibal
March 25.
The trustees have funds on hand sufficient to retire about
33,000 of land bonds, which will leave about *143,000 unredeemed. These, the receipts from the Land Department will, in
« few months, be sufficient to retire.
The Land Grant property of this company consists of notes
given for lands sold and interest thereon to date, principal and
interest secured by lien on the land, and of 100,000 acres of land
remaining unsold. With honest and judicious management, your
company will, no doubt, in a few years, realize from this property
over $4,000,000.
The company is the owner of the bridge at Kansas City, from
which it derives a yearly income of $80,000, to which "may be
added the value annually of its use by the Hannibal and St.
Joseph Railroad itself, $50,000, and we may estimate the yearly
income from the bridge at $130,000. The year opens lull of
promise as to the business ol the road the gross receipts for
January, 1876, being more than $49,000 greater than for January,
1875, and for February, 1876, more than |41,000 over those of
1875. For repairs, improvements and back taxes, he says, the
road will need, during the year 1876, about $500,000.
The directors have been authorized, by a vote of a majority of
the stock, to raise this sum by an issue of bonds, secured by
mortgage on the road and its appurtenances, which will be offered
to the stock and bondholders and others.
The mortgage is
made for $1,500,000, as it would be inexpedient to tie up the
road for a smaller sum, and thus preclude the possibility of
obtaining on that security relief, should any future emergency of
the company require an additional loan. If a, negotiation of a
portion of the bonds be effected on reasonable terms, something
over one-third of ihis amount only will be needed.

'THE CHRONICLE

[April
1.
;
1876.
The market for cotton tlie past week has been feverish and for the Continent are this week's returns, and consequently
somewhat unsettled in tone, but on the whole prices show some brought down to Thurnday ( vening; hence, to make the totals the
improvement for this crop.
Spots were on Saturday last complete figures for to night (Mar. 31),. we add the item of exports
advanced to 13fc. for^iddling Uplands, a recovery of Jc. from from the United States, including in it the exports of Friday
the lowest point early in the month, and this advance has since
been maintained in the face of a considerable decline In gold and
fair receipts at the ports and at the interior towns of the South.
The demand has been fair for export and consumption, but there
has been less speculation.
To day, prices (in sympathy with
Liverpool advices) were easier, though not quotably lower.
Spinners were moderate buyers, but the princip"! business
was to deliver next week on short notices. For future
active, and at the close
delivery the market lias been
of Wednesday's business a considerable advance had been established. The prolonged bad weather at the Soutli, and the threatened overflow of the Mississippi River, were elements of strength
which were made much of
but Liverpool refused to take
stock in them and on Thursdny our market gave way sharply.
A feature in the speculation of the week has been its pretty general extension to the next crop, and it will be seen that for those
deliveries prices had up to last night declined ^c.@i^c. from the
;
;
previous Fiiday. To-day, the early montlis of the present crop
decliued |c., and the later months l-lGc, while the next crop was
almost wholly neglected receipts at the ports and at Memphis
were comparatively large, and a return of good planting weather
was generally reported.
The total sales fo"r forward delivery for the week are 180,900
bales, including
free on board.
For immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week 10,511 bales, including 3,511 for exin
port, 3,188 for consumption, 4,843 for speculation, and
transit.
Of the above, 300 bales were to arrive. The following

From the fore^iolDK It would appear that, compared with last
year, there is a decrease of 8,000 bales this year in the week's
g'aipments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total movement
since January 1 shows a decrease in shipments of 202,000 bales
campared witn the corresponding period of 1875.

Oalveston, Texas. Planting is making slow progress, as the
weather has continued unfavorable. The frosts of last week will
make the replanting of corn in some districts necessary, but only
very partially will it be necessary to replant cotton. There have
been two showery diiys this week, with a rainfall of one inch and
two hundredths; and, for the month, the rainfall has reached four
Inches and eighty-three hundredths. The thermometer this week
hsjs averaged Gl, the highest being 73, and the lowest 45.
Indianola, Texas. It has been showery two days this week
The weather is so unfavorable that much of the seed planted has
failed to come up, but may do so yet.
Planting, however, is
being retarded. The rainfall this week has been ninety-six
hundredths of an inch, and during the month of March three
Inches and eiglity- eight hundredths.
The thermometer has
averaged 57, the highest being 80 and the lowest 40.
Uorsieana, Texas. It has been too cold here, and very little
progress has been made in replanting the corn killed by the
destructive frosts of Inst week.
We have also had frost on two
nights of this week. There was a shower on one day, the rainfall
being tliirty-five hundredths of an inch. For the month the
rainfall has reached three inches and thirty-nine hundredths.

Domestic Woolen Goods. There was comparatively little

any description of men's wear woolens from first
hands, and sales were restricted to small lots required for the
completion of jobbers' stocks. The jobbing trade in woolens was
exceptionally light, when compared with previous seasons at this
period. Fancy cassimeres and suitings of the most popular makes
were in moderate demand and steady; but styles which are not
strictly desirable are difhcult to move at any reasonable price.
Worsted coatings of the better grades were in fair request, but
low qualities were not wanted and are irregular in price. Overcoatings were much less active than of late, and cloths and doeskins received little attention.
Satinets for printing were in fair
demand, as were some of the better grades of mixtures, but plain
blacks were neglected. Kentucky jeans were a little more active,
but sales were chiefly made in small parcels. Flannels and
blankets continued quiet. Carpets were in moderate request, and
low grade ingrains were distributed to a fair aggregate amount.
Worsted dress goods lacked animation, and shawls remained
