“MORLEY’S” LETTERS FROM NEW
YORK.
From our regular correspondent]
New Your, Dec. 10, ’79.
THE savaNTn REGIMENT armour
FAIR.
A thousand men in gray uniform
are the centre of attraction here to
day. No single thousand men in one
organization ever before attracted
such attention or controlled such in
fluence. They said: “We need
money l”——-and New York’s mer
chants, manufacturers, banks and in.
surance companies poured $200,000
nt their feet in voluntary subscrip
tions. With it they started an Ar
mory more massive and complete
than any in the New World, one
that will he an enduring monument
in the day when an American histo
rian must look upon our times
through the dim vista of centuries.
More money was needs-d to complete
the noble structure, and a Fnir was
opened in the new Armory which
surpasses anything of the kind I
ever saw. The building covers an
entire block; the grand drill room is
large enodg'n to parade a division in
as divisions counted when four years
of war had done their deciming work;
a whole
new”: 01" Tue REVOLUTION
might be fought comfortably on the
ground floor, and ell this space is
packed to day with things beautiful
and rare, useful and ordinary, and
here the people swarm by thousands
and tens of thousands, erery day and
every night, to meet neighbors and
notables, and testify 'suhstantially
their appreciation of this remarkable
organization of men in gray.
The President of the United States
comes 250 miles to formally open
the Fair, the greatest living Ameri
can editor makes the Opening ad
dress, the governor of the Empire
State comes with his suite to grace
his appointed day, and ext-Minister
to England and an ex-llinister to
Russia take part in the opening of
the Fair; General Hancock, gray,
stately, and
svanv mcit A SOLDIER,
bears his battle-scarred form modest
througb tho swarming crowds that
come to catch sight of the grand old
hero; the wealth, fashion and beau
ty ofthe metropolis crowd and jostlc
night and day as never before—and
_What is this till about ? tht have
these men done that people should
thus vie with each other to do them
honor ? Done ? What no regiment
of citizen soldiers ever yet have done
For 54 years the New York Seventh
has been the just pride of the Me
tropolis. Eleven times since 1825,
when the property and peace of the
city were at the mercy of a mob, the
civil authorities have called upon the
Seventh to suppress riot and vindi
cate the majesty of the law. It was
V the first regiment to loaszew York
‘ lg; 1861 and march to the defense of
' ‘eshington. The Capital had been
i cut of from communication with the
PORT TOWNSEND, w. T.. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 2558:».
North for severnl days, and had been
in imminent danger ofcuptur . When
the Seventh arrived it received the
personal thnnks of President. Lin
coln, Secretery Seward and General
Scott for its promptness and energy.
THOMAS NAHT
is a member of the Seventh, and has
painted a line pintnre representing
the march of the regiment down
Broudwny on its departure, April
19,1861. It was a sad hut stirring
dey,nnd the scene makes a picture
that appeals to all the grander im
pulses of our nature. Photographs
oi the picture, made by Fredericks,
are on sale at the Fair. Mr. Fred
ricks has further given sulmtentiel
evidence of his enthusinm for the
regiment hy the handsome novel do
nation of SSOO wmth of orders for
photographs at his gallety. This is
no device ofe novice either for se
onring an introduction to the public
{or Fredriok‘a has hem: famous for hi~i
pictures ever since “Morley" was a
small boy—.md I am not teiling
nowadays how long ago that wus.
In truth, it was he who introduced
photography into this country on a
large scale years ago, hringing over
from Paris nnnmher of celebrated
photographic artiste. No artist is
better or more widely known, and
among the portraits in his handsome
gallery, on Broadway and' Ninth
street, opposite Stewarts, is it fine
one of Gen. Scott, for: which the old
hero snt years before the. war. Other
celebrities hy the score hare set be
fore his camera and his rooms are as
well filled with patrons today as they
were years ago. It was, therefore,
simply the honest admiration of one
of New York’s hesbknow citizens
for the Seventh which prompted the
gift, but it was an set so unique and
graceful as to richly deserve the spe
cial mention I give to it. And the
Seventh is richly worthy ofit and
all the other tokens of gratitude it
has received from those whose prop
any and lives it has guarded end de
fended, in critical hours, through all
these years. In 1862, when Lee ed
venced acrosscd the Potomac, it
again left the city on less than.
ONE DAY‘s NOTICE. '
Again, in 1863. just befor the battle
Gettysburg. it left on very short no
tico for the front. Your correspond
ont distinctly remembers seeing it
ot. this occasion. We were coming
back from Gottyshurg with tattered
flags and broken battalions. An in
ellicient Commissarint lmd lolt the
army without soup for several necks,
and hard mnrchiup: over dusty roads
in swelte ring weather for days and
nights had reduced us and our cloth
ing to a condition diflicult for a civ.
iliun to fully i'mtlizu. Clubbing neod
ed rr-plenishing ton, and thousands
of the man were literally in rage. To
crown all the heavy rain following
the battle hutl lillud tho rouds with
mud which thousands of hoofs and
ten thousands of feet had reduced to
a liquid paste which splashed to Our
waists, and thus ragged, dirty, cov
ered with mud, decimated by battle,
hut flushed with hard earned victory
the Army of the Potomac marched
into Frudrick city to find the Seventh
doing guard duty in the town, rudi
ant in paper collars, resplondant in
polished boots and stylish as the Old
Guard itself. We rubbed the pow
dur-grimo from our optics, looked
down at ourselves, up at the faultless
TOUT of the Seventh—and plodded
alongin‘ the mud ngtin muttering
anathema: upon the fellow who
wrote thoue line: about the “Pomp
and pride and circumstance of War,
glorious War !" But though the
Seventh never went into battle as
an organization it made itself felt:
throughout the entire army in the
class of men who went from its ranks
to hold commissions in the volunteer
service. Its members were sought
after to officer other regiments, and
ovm: SIX HUNDRED.
trained officers Went out of its ranks
to command other troops. Of these,
three rose to Major Generals, nine
teen hacame Brigadier Generals,
twenty-nine became Colonels, and
forty-five. Lieutenant-Colonels. Its
old Armory was one of the poorest
in the city. and hence the subscrip
tion, the New Armory Fair, and the
text upon which so inadequate a
sermon hath been preached by
MORLEY.
TAXATION 01- Monmaoss. —A
decision of much interest was re
contly rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States in a. case
involving the question of taxing
mortgages on real «state. .A rosi
dent of Connecticut. held mortgages
on real estate in Illinois. and brought
suit to prevent the State of Connec
ticut from collecting a tax on the
money loaned. he claiming that a tax
could not be levied on property not
within the state limits. The sn
premo Court, however, decided that
the locality of a debt is the place
where the creditor resides and that
such a locality is not affected, so far
as the power of taxation is concerned,
by the fact that the debt is secured
by a mortgage upon real estate in
another state. The state has a right
to tax such debt, irrespective of the
locality of the property ‘vrbich Is giV
on as security for the money loaned.
The Court also decided that the Fed
eral Government can exercise no su-'
pervision over the discretion exor
eisad by a state in the taxation of
such property. No provision of thu
Foderal.Constitution is violated by
such on exercise of the power of tax
ation. The decision is important,
as a final settlement of a much-vexed
question in regard to the right of a
state to tax property not within the
state.
