that when the temporary causes which have
kept up the European money and stock market
for the last eight months cease to operate, as
they have already begun to do, our securities

in the decline. Our stocks and real estate can
not be sustained at present prices when

TREATMENT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN CUBA
simultaneously with the arrival at Washington
ofdespatches from Havana-which, it is said. are
calculated to embarrass and complicate the set
Element of the Black Warrior difiiculty-we hear
Of fresh outrages having been committed by
Spanish tyranny upon American citizens resi-
dent or travelling in the island. Our CORES
pondent, writing under date of March 20.
informs us that an American has recently been
sentenced, without trial, to the chain gangs for
year, because some person sent him filibus-
tering paper from the United States. Another
insult-and it is one which every American
citizen will feel severely-was offered to gen
tleman, with his wife and daughter, by the mill
tary hirelings of the Captain eneral himself.
1t seems that the party were riding on the Cero,
about fortnight since, when they were com
PEELED by the guards Of the city to alight from
their vehicle, and kneel in the dust and dirt
to small waxen figure, carried by mulatto
priest. 1t is further added, that the parties
were known to be Americans, and therefore the
insult.
Such is the treatment which our citizens,
their wives and daughters, receive from the
minions of Spain. This is the way that the
liberty which we thrust with such prodigality
upon foreigners in our own country is returned
And the present government is so imbecile, or
SO rotten, OF SO Indifferent to the vital interests
with which it is entrusted, that it fears to act
with becoming dignity. 1t nominally pretends
to secure the rights Of American citizens abroad
as well as at home Security Protection
Vain words, when the arm it stretches out is
palsied and inert--when such outraces are
daily perpetrated in an island within the sha-
dow OF our own republic, and are permitted to
pass by unavenged. Forbearance on our part
at first may have been virtue, for we were
strong and our enemy was weak; but the
catalogue of injuries we have received
from Spain Las now reached point that
neither gods nor men can any longer per-

it only should make us all the more determined.
and all the more energetic in seeking redress In
country like ours, where civil and religious IL
berty is freely bestowed upon all, we should. in
justice to ourselves require the same privileges
for our citizens so burning in foreign lands that
we are disposed to afford to strangers here.
When those privileges are wantonly violated,
if America would retain her moral power among
the nations of the earth, redress should be
promptly, traightforwardly, and theoretically
sought-and restitution must be ample. We
have fallen low indeed through the feebleness of
the present Cabinet, when even Spain is not so
poor as to dous reverence.

The lime has arrived for the return Of the
township Assessor amongst us for the purpose
Of ascertaining the amount of taxable proper
ty held or owned by each individual.
According to the instruction of the Auditor
of State all property held or owned except
property not exceeding the value of $50, |
must be returned, without deduction for ndebt-
edness.
Auditor Morgan in his annual address to
the County Auditors, in speaking of the tax
law Of 1859, says The tenth section, (Which
allowed the privilege ofdeduciing Indebtedness
from moneys and credits is NO LONGER A
PORTION OF THE LAW" Over this he
rejoices-he is much elAted to think that the
people are to be taxed on what they Ove as we'll
as what they O'sn. And by thus taxing the
debts Of individuals there will be brought "up-
on the grand duplicate Of the State for the
present year $lOO, O,OOO, ,oOO." Who ever heard
Of such policy befOfe--indebtedn basis oI

The Nebraska Fraud.

We were too soon in presenting our congrat
ulations on the defeat Of this nefarious scheme
Various indications show that its friends and
supporters, backed by The whole power of the
administration, are about to make another bold
and desperate effort to carry it through the
House. The Washington Union is out with
a feeler, in which it declares that opposition to
it is dying away, and that it soon will be nun
bered with the most important patriotic and
benefcent acts of the Democracy. This is
ominous. Mr. Grund the "0bserver" cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, friend
Of the measure, says, in the following ext ract
that it will be brought up this week. and the
whole power of the government be used tC

either by itself. or as an amendment to some
other territorial bill will come up next week
which will be the territorial week, during which
the Committee on Territories will hold the floor
Immense efforts are made by the friends Of
the administration to carry the bill, and it is
plainly given out to all who have the least in
huence that to oppose the bill sis declaring wal
upon the President, and that the administration
will retal late upon the offender. What effect
this species Of tactics will have upon the House,
I am unable to foresee; but il the South will
not hang fire, the bill will pass. with the Clay.

Carroll County Fair fOr 1854.


We notice By the advertisement in another
column Of our paper that the Managers Of the
Carroll County Agricultural Society viii meet
on the 9Oth inst for the purpose Of fixing the
time for holding the next Fair. arranging a
premium list and to transact other business
connected with the interests Of the Society,
Although the arrangements and regulations
Of the Society last year were excellent. in the
estimation ofmany. still there srOOn for much
improvement in conducting our Fairs. There
are now no doubts in the minds Of most Of
oui people, as TO the beneficial results arising
from well conducted Fairs. We can see this
influence exhibited strongly, for much more
attention is being paid Of late to the selection
Of good stock and improved modes Of farming.
and mechanical operations generally.
We understand that ii is the design Of the
Managers to make our Fair this lyear, far sur
pass that Of last. II We should Judge Of this
from the we'll known ability, energy and good
taste of the Officers and Managers, who con-
troll matters this year, we have no doubt, but
that We will have all things done up to salts
faction and see big affair next fall.
Farmers, Mechanics and all others interest
ed, begin in time to prepare for the Harvest
Home" and when the time'arriVes, bring out
something to the Fair. Let there be full dis
play Of stock and hsndiwork and show that
Carroll is not whit behind any county in

Atkiassa and Nebraska.


As this Nebraska question is again HgitHtsd
in the halls Of Congress. il reminds US Oi an
article that appeared in the "DepOcFatic Com
Panion" Of the 18th, of April last. And as
the gentlemen who conduct tha: sheet have
been vsry liberal in copying from the "Press." /"
we feel gPdsr obligation 70 give their artc-
Gle in full.
Correction.
Il has been given out and currently reported
that Senator Atkinson has taken decided and
Actye part, and spoken publicly in favor Of the
Nebraska measule. Now we feel impe lied to
say, in justice Of Mr.. Atkinson and those Of
our readers who may have been deceived by
the report, that be has taken no such position
and we say 50 from the best authority. Eei-
ther has he made any speech in It's favor, either
in the Senate or at the late anti Nebraska meet
ing held at Columbus. So far as we know be
has neither priystely nor publicly defined his
position. though We have no doubt he will not
hesitate 70 do 50 when it becomes necessary
for him 70 act on the matter. What his senti
ments are in relation 70 the bill as il now stand,
we do not profess TO know but we do know
that the report abOye alluded to is ground
less."
Senator Atk insOn, then, has not taken
stand either for or against the iniquity; but ha
managed even up to the 18th ult, to keep hi
bosom friends in the dark, as To bis opinion rel
ative to that measure. Why all that shrinking
and lodging Of votes upon resolutions agains
this fraud upon freemen, introduced into tn,
Ohio Senate, by FOote and others ? Ant
more, why does atkinson keep his opinion
locked up in his own breast, upon a subjec
that has agitated the Union from centre to cir
cumference Has not even permitted, thost
who have, for years shared with him at hi
hospitable table, the comforts Of life to know
the sealed secret. 1t is high time the Senate
should be shorn Of some of his wonted diRni
~. and speak out to his constituents, and Civ
at least plausible reason why be has consider
cd the Withholding Of his opinion and his votes
upon this "Bawdy house" pet Of the Piercs ad
ministration Of such vast import. 1t will b.
Tecollected too, that the same week of the ap
pearance Of the above article in the "Compan
ion" the Senator was here at home ATTENDING
to his professional duties in Court. And
cannot therefore be said that be has not ha
an opportunity of noticing the article alluded
TO, for he sa subscriber, and the paper is lef
in his family mansion weekly, and that arlicl
too, was the ieOdsr of that week. But it is "er
tain, the author Sf that article, hes taken goo
care to say that Mr.. Atkinson has given no @
pinion, $50 far as we know. neither priyatsl
nor publicly" Then so far as we, as Wings
are permitted to know, We d. know, thGt Sen
atOr Atkinson did vote for George E. Pugh. fol-
