LATER FROM GuAYMAs.-By the arrival
OF the British brig Tryphenia at San
Francisco, the rumor of the expulsion of
the United States Consul from Guaymas
's confirmed Among the passengers by
that vessel WAS DR.. Woods, who had
been in prison at that point for the past
tive months, and informs the San Fran
cisco Commercial advertiser as follows:
The American Consul, Mr.. Robinson,
left Guaymas, with his family on the 22d
uIt, for Mazatlan, where he will enter
protest against his unwarranted expulsion
from the former place. For a long time
previous, no respect was paid either to
his person or his property, and the Mex
ican lazGroni even went SD far as to puil
the american .jaag from ats fastenings and
tear II n, a thousand shreds.
The ssh Joaquin Republican learns
that the above report is untrue, that the
American Consul only went to Mazatlan
on a visit, and that the author of the
above report was imprisoned in Guymas
for outrageous offences against the laws.
A good story is told of Professor Hum
phrey, of Amherst College. One morn
ing, before recitation, some ofthe students
chair. When he entered the room and
discovered the new occupant Of his seat,
he turned upon his heel, and cOOlly OBJ
served, "gentlemen, | perceive you have
competent instructor, and therefore
will leave you to your studies."
Count Bruno Brouski, Pole, has dis
covered the art of crossing silkworms, the
process through which he obtains silk of
splendid whteness. Baron Meyendorf
has made him brilliant offers, for the pur-
pose of securing for Russia the benefit of
his invention; but the Polish emigrant
has refused, through patriotism, and has
offered his secret to the India Company.
A BATCH OF CoNtNDRUMs.-Why is a
person asking questions the s:rangest of
all individuals? Because he's the querist I!
Why is a spendthrift like restve
horse? Because he plunges into Difficult
ties and gets in arrear.
What is the difference between a big
man and a little man? One is tall fel-
low, and the other not at all.
Why are lawyers like wild beasts? !?
Because they're savage without they're

The comfort of having ones self transported

Our new School House is situated upon a
very eligible and pleasant spot of ground
which, with some little fixing up can be mnde
a desirable and delightful PLY ground for the
children, and an ornament to our town. II
it were not too late in the season, we would
urge the immediate planting Of shade trees
hut this would not avail much without a
fence to protect them from the herds Of swine
and cattle which inhabit our town. But,
though it is ton late to plant shade trees this
season, it is not too late to build a good. sub
tnnlial fence, which should he put up forth
with, and the ward sown with grass seed.--
This done, by another season, shade trees
could be planted, and the school children
would have beautiful green upon which to
romp and play instead Of mud

School Disiric. Libraries.

The following is circular from the State
Commissioner Of Common Schools to which
we invite the attention of school directors:
DEAR SIR:-I beg to assure the boards of
education of your county that am preparing,
with all the despatch conssten. with so diff
cult and 50 responsible duty, Catalogues of
iour sets Of books designed to be placed in
District Schools of each Township in the
Stale.
In aid Of my own judgment of this i'm
portnRt matter, have procured Catalogues
of the best School Libraries in this country,
and requested several gentlemen of great cx-
pericnce TO designate such works as they
would deem proper to be placed in such Lii
braries
Librarians have, Mt my request, designated
by appropriate marks opposite 10 the titles of
the books in the Catalogues forwarded to me,
the books most read. as well as those seldom
drawn from their Libraries.
With these aids and suggestions I hope to
make up, and place in every district. Libra
ries embracing not only great variety Of
works, but those which will excite taste for
reading, nd at the same time convey useful
information.
1t is Indispensable that these books should
he bound in uniform, tasteful and substan-
tial manner. Il will, of course. require some
months to do this, as the books thus bound
cannot now be found in sufficient numbers to
supply the nine thousand Districts in the
State. Besides, it requires time to negotiate
the contracts for these supplies; for il is my
design that the State shall not pay for the
books, one penny above the lowest price at
which they ran be procured by any body,
anywhere in the United States.
Yours. DC,
Ii. II. BARNEY.

Taxes--No Deduction of Debts.

THXeS--NO Deduction Of Debts.
The State Auditor in his Instructions to the
County Auditors, expresses 9mself as fol-
adoption Of the new Constitution allowed in
dividuas who owned money and credits to
dt duet from the value thereof an nmount
equal to their indebtcdncss;" which was in
corpo ated into the act OF 1852. "Its incon-
sistency with the new Constitution being ap-
parent, the subject was brought to the notice
of tire Supreme Court Of Ohio" which ''de.
cared the provision TO be uncon Skjtutionol
and roid The tenth section, therefore. which
allowed the privilege of deductng Indebted,
ness from moneys and credits IS NO LONGER
A PORTION OF THE LAW, and every individual
who shall refuse to return, under oath, the
full value Of his moneys and credits witbout
deduction, becomes liable TO a penalty of so
per cent "rhis decision" says the State
Auditor "if faithfully observed, will bring upon
the grand duplicate Of the State Cor the pres
ent year, one hundred millions of moneys and
credits which have heretofore escaped their
equal share Of the public burthcns."
Well the new Constitution is in the "hands
of its friends" This glorious instrument,
must Of course be adhered to, let the conse
qucnces be what they may. We 60 in for
legislating in accordance with the Constitu
ton; but if the Constitution is wrong and
oppressive in its requirements, it is oar duty
the duty Of the people, to rise in the mnjes-
ty of their strength and demand an amend
ment to their organic law. That the tax law,
as it now stands. is unjust and oppressive, must
be apparent" to every one. Suppose b. is
in possession of one hundred thousand dol
lars woth of property, and out Of debt This
may be in moneys and credits, or in real es,
tate. il m kes no difference. He then nccor-
ding 10 this law, is required to pay tax on this
amount of property This is right and ust.
Bat G.. has one hundred thousand dollars
worth of property, it may be in moneys and
CItuiS, Oul ut u III ucbl my lHOuSHnu uOi-
lars, one half of the value of his property
How much then is G. worth? Why the tax
law virtually declares him worth as much
as B. and requires him to pay the same
amount of tax. When the fact is, B. is worth
fifty thousand dollars more. viii any man
say this is equal and just taxation? And to
prevent any evasion of the law upon the part
Of G., he is required to "soIemnly declare
aud affirm. that in listing" his "monevs
and credits" he has made no dedaction
therefrom on account of any Indebtedness for
which 'he is liable" But the credit system,
and the Banking system. in the eyes of our
holy and honest democracy is an abominaliun,
an objectionable sin, for which the guilty
merchant, tie man of business, and the bank.
er must do penance. And the money thus
extorted from the very life blood of our pros
perily, is taken BY their unholy hands and
squandersd in ,Oorthless legislation. o. rather
in drunken reyels. "Or in dodgng the ques,
ton"
