THE POOR MANS LOG CHAIN.

The n. Y. TRrBuNr, Of the Is Of July, con
tains long article in exposition Of Taxation
for the benefit of Manufacturers, in which,
the "Poor Mans Log Chain," as wei. as ma
ny other of those articles which were so dread
fully oppressive upon the poor during the Can
vass of IA, is so PRETTY viewed, that we pre-
Ger giving it IN erteaso next week to any COM
ments of our own this week. 1.-THE people do
not get an insight into the New Tariff Law,
it shall not be because we do not lay before
them articles in abundance from the ablest
pens in this country. We wonder if ''the
poor man" ever bought "Log Chains" as
cheap before as since the establishment of the
Tariff Act of 1912? Nous re,rons

We invite the attention of the following ar
tlcle from the N. Y. Express. In it will be
found statements, the truthfuness Of which,
we think, be apparent 10 every one who will
read them dispassionately
at has always been commended, by a large
portion of the public, that a war, even small in
magnitude, could not be carried on, for any
considerable length of time, without National
Bank, or some representative Of such an lnsti-
tuition. That the Government can adopt a
Sub Treasury. receive all their dues in gold
and silver, and then transmit this gold and sill
Yer TO the army, and distant sections OF the
country, is an utter impossibllity. The short
war with Mexico has tested this principle !:
and Mr.. LEWIS, the chairman of the Finance
Committee, in discussing the Sub-Treasury
BILL has declared that unless the Government
could issue their drafts in sums of fifhes, one
hundred, and FIVE hundred, the law would be
imperative. The result of this is precisely
what has always been predicted. 1t is Gov
eminent bank for the issue OF paper curren-
cy. The Government officers are shrewd
enough to perceive that it is impossible for the
Sub Treasurer, whoever he may be, TO carry
out the plan on Sub Treasury basis.
"The operations Of the Government must,
of necessity, be by drafts, and these drafts, ii
made of ffties, hundred, and five hundred
dollars, will become portion Of the circulating
medium Of the country. Whenever these
thirty or forty millions of Government bills are
put in circulation, il viii be an initiation Of the
currency to that extent, as much SO as when
the Bank ofthe United States expanded its is
sues TO that amount. This increase of paper
will have the effect to sustain prices, and the
price Of produce and every description of pro-
perry, will be much better sustained than
would lie the case if these notes had never
been issued.
'We have been aware for some time that
some plan for the increased issue Of paper mo-
ney was in contemplation, but in what shape
it was TO appear has not been developed unni
now. Blank engravings having this OBJECT IN
view have been preparing in this CITY lot
some time"

FERocious ATTACK BY PANTHER.-Mr. w.
w. RICE of this parish, has given an account
Of singular occurrence which took place on
the plantation of his father, MIR. john RICE,
Bayou Sara, on the night of the 4;h inst. AT
about nine O'Clock, negro man named ISAAC,
a valuable mechanic, belonging to MIR. HENRY
G.. DwIGHr, of Franklin, was standing near a
cabin in the negro quarters, when large pan
Their came up 10 within few PAGES OF him.
1t was moonlight night, and he could see the
panther cTouched ready TO spring upon hun.
He Immediately commenced retreat towards
where a number OF negroes were collected,
with his eyes on the animal. The latter, how
ever, not at all daunted, pursued him. After
backing few PAGES, the negro turned TO run,
when the panther sprang upon him from a
distpnce Of about ten feet, seiZing his left arm
near the shoulder, in his mouth, striking his
claws into the negro's back. The negro was
thrown down, but Immediately rose partially,
still in the grasp of the panther, and called
loudly for assistance. His cries gather
ed the negroes and dogs, but the panth-
er held on some time, even after the dogs had
seized him. Through the aid o. the dogs, on
whom the panther turned, the negro freed HIM
self from the uncomfortable embrace, but the
! ferocious animal renewed the attack, spring
ing upon and seiZlng him by the left shoulder.
Bv this time, several collected with clubs, and
axes and the man Isaac made his escape, with
his arm and shoulder, however, dreadfully la
cerated, and his back severely scratched while
the panther made for the bayou pursued by
the dogs. He measured eight feet from the
ncse to the up of the tail, and weighed from
one hundred and fifty TO one hundred and sew
enty five pounds The animal is the Cougar
or Puma Ite.is coneoiar) commonly called in
this country the Panther, and is the largest and
most formidable OF the Cat kind in North

"As WAS EXPEcTED--JoHN >RANDoLPH's
slaves. nearly 400 in number, have been driv-
en- away from Mercer county, Ohio, where
tract of land had been purchased for them
How very consistent the Ohio ablitonists arei
They wish to effect the abolition OF slavery
upon the homeopathic principle of stealing
away one al a time, and when we give them
big dose, it appears TO aauseate them terri
bly,, and up they rise, en- mdSSe, and cry
'avaunt!' They are certainly very hard to
please, > Clarksbarg Rep.
There is much good sense in these remarks.
Abolition has been tolerated by too many in
the North, not themselves It's acknowledged
votaries, who regard it as founded in sort of
philanlhrophy. We sincerely trust that this
case of RANDoLPH's negroes having been dri-
ven by an armed force beyond the borders of q
county in Ohio. where thsy had previously
bought lands with the knowledge of the citi-
zens, will have a wholesome influence on
Northern sentiment. The practice Of harbor
ing fugitive slaves, not merely by conceallng
them in the heartless haunts of abolitonism,
but by shielding them with the forms OF JUS
tee in the legal tribunals, has become grave
and most uniusti6able grievance. What grea-
ter right has the Legislature ola free State TO
encourage the abduction Of single slave, than
il has to invite and enforce the transfer of a
thousand in body But, no, no in the lat
ter case the thousand would become public
nuisance, and the philanthrophy of abolition
ism does not extend to the assumption OF pecu-
mary burdens As the Clarksburg Republi-
can happily suggests, it practices on the sys-
tenn of homeopathy
five are correctly informed the laws Of
most of the free States contain very stringent
provisions against the admission OF free blacks.
But the case of fugitive slave is esteemed
wholly different The "invaluable right" of
habeas corpus is granted HIM, in the courts,
and he is cruelty turned adriit 10 make his way
amongst unsympathising strangers. The con-
sequence generally is that unless he is taken
up, like FREDERICK DOUGLASS, TO be exhibit
ted in Europe, he becomes the inmate OF an
aims house, the wretched victim of his own
| folly and wicked ianatlclsm.
| We should deem it useless undertaking to
address these expostuatlons TO the misguided
zealots, whose minds if not their hearts are so
far distorted as to render them incapable OF rea-
son; but we do hope eonsderate and wise men
| in the North will be induced, by this late oc-
currence in Ohio, TO reflect upon the absurd
and wicked Inconsistency which they permit
their laws and their practice to exhibit. Let
/ them observe, in good faith, the provisions OF
the federal constitution, and esteem II their du-
ty. in the matter of slavery, 10 obey the holy
mandate, ''Do unto Others as ye would they
should do unto you" Richmond Times

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

We can mereley glance at the proceedings
of Congress this week, as we are anxious TO
lay as much Of the Foreign News, by the
"HIBERNA," before our readers as possible.
The Senate have passed the SrB-TREAsURY
Bill and sent il back 10 the House with amend
men,s. 1t is supposed the House will concur
in the modiicalions--the only Essential
amendment" remarks the Bait American, is
one, making Treasury Notes equal to gold
and silver" The President has retoed ''the
Rirer and Hmbor Biz the new TARIFF BILL
has been signed by the President. Judge
GREEN, of Piusburg, Pa, has been nominated
for the vacant seat ON the Bench Of the Su-
preme Court. The Executive, il is thought,
feared to risk Mr.. Buchanan. The LAND
BILL has been again amended by the Senate
and returned TO the House "The amend
ments Of the Senate" says the correspondent
of the Bait Amer, "appertain TO reduction
Of the time named by the House from twenty
to fifteen years. The lands are to be sold for
the lowest price (ifty cents an acre. after

next. The House did not take the Bill from
the table" The Senate are trying TO find out
how the Oregon Treaty and Correspondence
came TO light: several Editors from the North,
and their Washington correspondents have
been examined, but nothing elected. The
Warehousng Bill has passed the House by a
vote of IL TO SO, and been sent back to the
Senate for concurrence in an immaterial
amendment TO the title--lt will ofcourse be

The National Intelligencer, referring to the
proceedings in the House of Representatives
on the 30th uli., says
1.-TWO things marked the action Of the
House of Representatives yesterday, which
we are confident will receive the general ap-
probation of the public. The first is, giving lis
q,et,ts to the bill TO increase the rates Of postage
the second, still more laudabe, taking up by a
decisive majority, and entering on the consid-
Grafton of, the long neglected claims OF our CIT
liens for indemnity tor French seizure and
con6scatioD Of their property prior to the year
1900. The majority by which this bill was
taken up encourages the hope that it is at
length to receive favorable decision from the
Representatives OF the People. How many
an aged and aching heart will its passage make
throb with JOY"
