Tne foreigu companies asked for an in- Miction restraining the different Sheriffs from collecting taxes upon their mortgages: Morten ire Tax Law of 1882. On the ques tion of wnethcr this act of the Legislature con forms to the constitution of Oregon, this Court billows the judgment of the Supreme Court of tho State in Auimfoid v. Sewell. 11 Or.. 07, ami Crawford v, Linn county, Id., 4.S2; and oh the tiuestion it is in conflict with the constitu tion of the United States, the ruling of this Court in the Dundee Mortgage Tiust Invest ment Company v. School District No. 1, 19 beli. Kcp., A.M ami 21 M., lot, is followed. An nut tor raising remote.

I S;ntns, unless it appears that tho plaint ill ban paid or offered to pay so much of such tax as lie concedes to bj due or as may be shown that bo ought to pay. Fr m the way we understand the decision, the loan companies must pay one-third of their taxes before they can have any standing in omit. Then the case will be brought wholly npon'the fact whether the different Assessors honestly, and without fraud, assessed the prop erty of the different counties at a lair and rea sonable value. The constitutionality of the law has been sustained. We believe that the counties, in time, will collect every cent due up m mortgages from the loan companies. Fourth of July Hbau. This is how they do it up in Hcppner, The editors of the Meppuer Times and the Gazette, of the same burg, have been indulging in some language towards each other not over-choice, and the mutual feeling between the two 'jaill shoverj was not tho most cordial and lovely. Ou tho glorious Fourth of July the editor of the ('aaett, knocked the editor of the Times down and then sat on him till he hollered "nulf." This is business. The same means " ris suggested to the News and Orogonian for the settlement of any little ilillcrence bo tweeu them. There 11 some sense iu that way, aud the public is not tho snllclcr, Statesman. Iowa Visitor We take the following from the Nevada, Iowa, Watchman, which explains itself: "We stopped at Eugene for a !imitu time, aud strolled through its streets. It is a beautiful place, level, and much reminded n: of our Iowa homes. The Commencement exercises of the Oregon Uni. versify were being held und all were warmly welcomed. Yards were thrown open to all, and but for the limited time we might have carried ofT some of their most prized treas ures (nothing personal Webb). Fruits and flowers were in abundance, and all well pleased, aud found it alive with people to welcome us." Rates of Posi ack. Many people suppose that postage has been reduced. This is u mistake. It will take two cents to carry a letter the samo as it did before the first of July. No one-cent letter will go. The let ter covered by two cents may weigh an ounce, instead of half an ounce. This is all tho change iu. postage on letters. Do not fool yourself by putting oo one ceut only ou any writteu or staled letter, but p it on two cent as heretof.rre or your letter will remain in the postotlice for want of sufficient' poet- Notice.
