Or HO NJ LIE PEOPLE Or MEN
ORLEANS WERE DTDDLED OUT Of s6NOo0
~ IND MORE. BY THE LITE PRETENDEi
IN C0HMHIaTIoN ORDINANCE OF THE Cf1l
COUNCIL: "A, BRIEF IND PL.4IN HISTORY
I07 1T is known, perhaps, to the community, that
in 1868, ordinances we're passed in favor of tn,
D jackson and Great Western Railroad; whereby
4 the property holders were taxed to the amour
: Of $S3 81 o $50, payable during period Of fv,
years, or upwards of $600,0U0 year. 1t be-
calpe difficult to collect this tax; and accord
ingly Coils Campbell and Robb got up the ides
OF getting an exchange or commutaton-tha
is taking bonds of the city at 20 years for this
I, 100000 and only requiring the interest to he
paid by the tax yearly on the real estate holder.
Now, this looked very plausible and fair;
seemed much better to pay 100000, in q
years than in 8 years, although the interes
was running on the extended term 1t looked
like e1chaage; which, according to common
proyerb ia no robbery. 1t was called, there
fore, Communication. Did it turn ont to be so !;
There was a proyiso in the act of the Legislator,
that The companies should retain the first year
instalmeut of about 5000 900, taken out of tn,
pocsefs OF the tax payers; and thus, instead o.
exchange-of paying of 100000 by changing
the time of pay ment from S years to 2O--we wer,
made to increase our debt by 100000! Wh,
was not this sum deducted from the bond
(S,500, 000) and repaid to the overtaxed estate
owner' Why have we men in our City Coun
ellis and Legislature like Col Campbell, who ar,
acting only for the benefit of railroad concern
aad. not of the people9 So vigiant fer that
30 dull eyed for thisa
This bill, in the Legislature, was gotten ny
by Messrs Robb and Campbell, upon a pre-
tence Of communication but it is aatsnonaer
Robb had put up the bonds of the company 70,
sale and purchased them to the amount Of
100000 1t proved bad speculation in his
hands; though at ninety cents on the dolla
he had supposed it good shave. As d novelty
in the money market, the bonds failed of get
ting purchaser during his tour to England
The bitter was fairly bit How was this to BE-
remedied Why Col. Campbell, being govern
ed by him. undertook the nice piece of work
and inserted a proyiso in the above bill, that
the companies should not get the new bond
until they took mp these negotiated bonds {thett
worth less than eighty five cents on the dollar
Iii The new issue of bonds worth near par. And
thus geute reader, and plant, indulgent tax
payer you see what il is to trust yourselves IN
the hands Of Councils and Legislatures, who are
ruled by men ..who are governed by Mr.. Robb.

q Re- OPENING OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE m New
YoRK.-The New York papers Of the 9th are
6lled with details of the re-opening of the Crys-
tai Palace It is estimated that twenty-five
thousand people were present Eloquent speeches
we're made ny President Barnum, Hon W. W.
Campbell, Eiihu Burritt, Rev Henry Ward
Beecher, Rev. E. Fl. Chaplin, Horace Greeley,
and other able speakers. Dodworth's band
played a variety of popular airs, which were
received with much applause, The 70 lowing
prize ode, written by William Ross Wallace, and
set to music by W. H. Fry, was sung by the N
Y. Harmonic Society, accompanied by bod
worth's band:
Lo! the transitory darkness
From our Palace floats away;
Lo. the glorious gems of Genius
Glitter in the rising day ~ -.&
See again the mighty nations
Meet ard clasp each others palms.
And by Iabors glowing altar
Lift on high according psalms
Hero behold the true EvaDgel
Not from War may Earth increase;
God has stamped his shining patent .,5r
Only on the brow Of Peace.
Only by the arm of Labor.
- Swinging to Iuvention's chime
Can the Nations build their Eden
In the wilderness of Time.
Nations hear that mighty music
Rolling through the mountain bars
Planting deserts, bridging oceans,
Marrying the choral stars
F. Telling that cur Crystal Palace
GloriHss the joyous sod ,
Making Man, with Art and Nature,
Worthy of the Buidsr-God.
Nations then rejoice that darkness
From our Palace floats away,
% And the glowing gems of Genius
Glitter in the light of day
Several extensive alterations have been made
in the building since it closed, important among
which is massive and emblematic figure of
America. It stands in the centre of foun-
tain, upon rock, six feet high. In the right
hand, is q spear piercing the rock from which
wafer gashes; and in the left, is wreath OF
laurel. The figure stands eighteen feet from
the floor.
The Crystal Palace certainly re-opens under
most favorable auspices.
Mr.. NEAFIE.-This admirable tragedian, who
is one of the brightest ornaments of the Ameri-
can stage, has been playing with his accus-
toned success throughout the West. He has
recently closed brilliant engagement of three
weeks at Chicago, and Mt last accounts was at
Detroit. The Detroit Advertiser of Goth April
says:
| Although Mr.. Neafe has appeared but three
times before Detroit audience, he has become
great favorite with them. He holds already
a high place in their estimation, and he de-
serves it. We cannot name single actor
| among the stars Of the profession, whom We
| would prefer to see than Mr.. Neafe. His Fir.
| ginius is the best we ever saw, and his Hansle
| is equaled by few. On Thursday he played
Richelieu, to a large and admiring audience
| We earnestly hope that Mr.. Neafe will ap
pear at one of our theatres early the next sea
son. Mr.. Neafe has legion Of admirers il
this city, and our whole play going community
would be glad of an opportunity to endorse tn
| verdict of the press, as SO unmistakably ex
pressed wherever he has appeared within tn
past year. -=,

CHAPTER I-CoNrINUED.
From the conversation whichsshe over
heard among the soldiers, she knew that
the captain could not be deceiving her in
regard to the information he had obtained.
and which he supposed to be correct, con
cerning the place where Rodolph was
concealed and she felt pleased that some
one had thus lead his thoughts astray,
knowing that there would b. but little
danger henceforward for the youth. and
deeming it almost fact that tie captain
would not again return.
Mother and daughter watched the de-
tacbment until it receded from their view
in the thick wooded part of the forest.
Here they go, l hope not to return
again." said Mariana to her mother, as
she stood on the threshold at the front
door of the cottage /" | am glad their
captain has received such news as will de-
feat his object effectually."
Yes" said the mother, !" and so am
| l. And whoever has uninteDtionally Civ
en- him such information as he spoke of,
land unintentional it must be,) am GER
tainly obliged to; for now, they will not
be likely to visit us again.
& trust they will not" returned Mari
anna and now [ am pleased to think
that father and the young man did not
make an attack upon the four men, as
| father had the mind of doing last night );
for even had they been powerful enough
to overcome the soldiers, on the return of
the captain they'd have had to answer for
their disappearance. aud the sequel might
have cost the whole of US our lives or at
! least the destruction of our property
's'Tis true, Mariana; and your father
acted wisely in not molesting them" said
the mother, as she turned to enter the
house.

ed, and there is no longer any room for
danger, l will go and set our prisoner

WHERE IS HOME 2

Homes not merely four square walls,
Though wi,a pictures hung and gilded;
Home IS where affection calls,
Filled with shrines the heart hath builded !,
Home go watch the faithful dove,
Sailing meath the heaven above us
Horne is where there's one to love,
Home is where there's one to love US!
Homes not merely roof and room,
1t needs something to endear ii;
Home Is where the heart can bloom,
Where there's some kind lip 70 sheer II.
What is home with none to meet
None TO welcome, none to greet us7
Home is sweet, and only sweet,
Where there's one we love to meet us.

From the National Era.
THE KANSAS EMIGRANTS.


We cross the prairie as of old
The pilgrims crossed the sea,
To make the West, as they the East,
The homestead of the free
We go TO rear a wall of men
On Freedoms southern line,
And plant beside the cotton-tTee
The rugged Northern pine!
We're flowing from our native hills
As our free rivers flow;
The blessing of our mother land
Is on Us as we go.
We 20 TO plant her common schools
On distant prairie swells,
And give the Sabbaths of the wild
The music of her bells.
Jpbearing, like the Ark of old,
The Bible in our van,
We go 10 test the truth OF God
Against the fraud of man.
No pause, nor rest, save where the streams
That feed the Kansas run,
Save where our Pilgrim gonfalon
Shall flout the setting sun!
Wen sweep the prairie as of old
Our fathers swept the sea,
And make the West, as they the East,
TIE homestead of the free
