TAXES! TAxEsl-For the week past there
has been perfect stampede about the Treas
urer's afiice-men hurrying and straining ev-
cry nerve to satisfy the claims of the hungry
nav Of the State upon them before the PEN
atty Of nom payment is added. The ruinous
tax law under which we are all suffering be-
yond endurance has extorted groans and cur.
ses and lamentations from many poor man
within thsApast week who has for months
been straining every nerve, and saving every
penny 70; this long dreaded occasion. Scores
of cur citizens have seen their last dime go
into the Treasury 10 support, the foLies, the
weakness and the improvdence Of Locoisco
legisla ion end Locofoco management.
These scenes Of distress and suffering may
be amusing 10 those who frame our constitu-
tens and laws and who govern the people
with an iron rod that they may themselves
revel in luxurious ease; but their enjoymena
in this line will have en- end. There is set
tied determination in the minds of the peo-
plea determination induced BY the necessi-
ty Of self prnservslion--to cast oH these men
and their ruinous measures and again return
to an economical and honest administration
Of our government. They are only waiting
the time and opportunity to commence the
reformation. 1t will be thorough and radi-
cal one when undertaken.

0t-John Hastings was hurg in Paris Ky,
on the 18th inst. for the murder of young
man named Williams. An eyewitness says:
The deceased was a middle.sized man, and
about thirtyiyears of age. Before the fatal
drop he spoke several minutes. He said that
when he committed the deed, he was uncon-
scious Of what he did; that at heart he did
not feel guilty of murder; that he had moth
ing against the boy, and would not in his So
Der moments have hurt hair on his head
He dated his downward career from his ih-
diligence iE drinking liquor, by which ne was
led into bad company and gambling. BY his
untimely and disgraceful end he exhorted all
present to take warning. and shun the poi
sonous cup. He expressed desire to live.
that he right show that he was a reformed
man; but felt that his sins were lorgiven,and
was ready to meet his God. The poor fellow
met his fate calmly, and died with scarcely a
struggle.

Kentucky altered to a twenty. 1t is the

ATTEMPTED REVOLT IN STATE PRrsoS.-An
attempt was made in the New Jersey State
Prison on Sunday last to get up revolt,
which vas discovered in time to b, thwarted.
One of the prison ,rs, negro, named Hilton,
escaped from his cell by means of a defect in
one of the cell doors, and crossing the bridge
to'aLe other side of the gallery opened the
man named Fallen, and the burglar Shields.
Fortunately the noise of the doors attracted
the attention OF Mr. Vandervcer, and of
Messrs. Woolverton and Wllets, under.keep-
ers, who were seated in the rotunda Mr.
Vanderveer and Mr.. Woolverton entered the
wing, and the former discovering at once the
state of affairs asked Willets to give him a
pistol, and to 60 to the office and get the mus
kets. He then followed Mr.. Wooverton up
the stairs to the gallery. Meanwhile the lat
ter had reached Hilton and tried to prevent
him from leaving Fallen's cell, into which he
had passed, but Hilton seized w. BY the
throat and endeavored to drag him in. He
escaped from his grasp and ran back for as
sistance, when Hilton passed on to Shields
cell, and went in to call s. to "come out"
At this time Mr. Vanderveer was near Fall
ems cell. ...who had just put his head t but
Withdrew it at sight Of the Keeper. Mr.. v.
then standing on the gallery, threatened 10
shoot the first man who came out. This
alarmed them, and in few minutes the un-
der-keepers returned with arms and secured
the prisoners.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE MoHKY.-This 10 Q
question asked oy one of our exchange pa

try. Nearly amilion and half of Gold a
week, for 8 or 4 years, has been imported,
yet, in consequence OF heavy imports Of for,
eign merchandise, hero is scarcity of
money. II we have had one million in the
precious metals, we have received fsur in
foreign goods. These goods are forced int
marke, and mostly consumed, froIn year TO
year, leaving US nnthihg to show for the
two hundred millions of geld received from
California. II is an inevitable result OF eur
present commercial system, than which moth.

hAfLRoADs AND TIE fHEse.---'rhe sntfon-
al lntelligencer, referring 70 ths recent Rail.
road Convention In Virginia says:
The Convention adopted set Of resolu-
tiops on the subject Of free tickets and ma
med the functionsries who wers 20 be thus
entitled. In The list, editors Of newspapers
are not included We are not aware that cd
itors in this vicinity have ever enjoyed this
privilege. AT the north il is called the dead
head system" But perhaps no better oppof-
tuniiy will offer for the remark that the con-
ductois of the public press have net abu-
sed the privilege il accorded TO them. They
rarely can leave their arduous duties at hons
for the purpose Of ride upon a Railroad,
even under the temptation Of very pleasant
company. The editor is lucky who, once a
year, can withdraw himself from his daily
tolls to make an exc, rsion even when his pen
is desired to "note the proceedings" We
suppose that as mhtter OF course the action
Of this Convention will induce tho Press also
to abolish the "dead-head SYSTEM" and Jet no
columns for the benefit of Railroads appear In
their papers without due cUmpenss.ivv. eThs
publishers Of newspapers would be decided
gamers by this reciprocal! arrangement.

0TThe new Cent pieces, it is said, will
be issued from the Mint in the course OF a
few days. They are considerably smaller
than old cent pieces, and form an attractive
copper coin. On one side is the head Of Lib
erty, and, the thirteen stars being omitted
TIE surface is plain and polished. The re-
verse is the same in design as the old cent
but brighter and much more finished. There
is certain amount of alloy mixed with ths
copper, and the perfection Of the die gives t'
the coin q finish that hst never before beer
attained in our copper coinage.

Gently appeared at Orleans, France, but
was not wen received. The authorities
sent her to prison, instead of the Cri-
mea. We have this account of her:
A French paper states that young
woman, who pretends to have a divine
mission, has just been locked up in the
Orleans prison. She asked to be sent
to the Crimea, pretending that she
could take Sevastopol in very short
time. She speaks on the subject in the
most calm and deliberate manner. AL
she asks for to accomplish her glorious
mission is an escort of sergeant, 9

IMPORTANT BoUNTY LAND QuEsrIos
DEcIDBD.-The Secretary of the Inte-
rior, to whom the question has been re-
ferred. has decided that in computing
the IA days military service necessary
to entitle one to bounty land under the
act of March 5, 1855, travel cannot be
estimated. Many have applied for land
under this act who could not make out
the 4 days service requisite without
the time spent in travel. To such, lands
cannot be accorded under the act Of
March s, 1885.

Dr.. TYNG AND DR.. CUNNING on THE
SECOND COMING. THE second coming Of
the Lord.-It may sound strange to
some of our readers to be reminded
that someof the most eminent Doctors
of the Old Dispensation are still main
tanning that the day ofthe Lords literal
personal appearance is rapidly ap-
preaching. We see it mentioned that
Dr.. Cumming, an eloquent Scotch
teacher, and popular theological wri-
ter, has published work on the "Signs
of the Times,". in which he afiliates
very closely with the views Of the Mil
lerites. u hua
His theory is that Christ~~M come
in 1s64-that the advent will be what
is termed pre-millsnniel, or in other
words, that Christ viii come before the
millennium, and the millennial glories
will consist of Christ's personal reign
on earth for thousand years-that the
Jews will be literally gathered to Jeru-
salem to be converted-that the Moslem
power is about to expire, not by de-
struction of the Turks, but by their
conversion and absorption into the
church-that Popery will be destroyed
by Christ's coming, and not before it.
Strange as their visionary phantasies
may sound to one whose mind has
been even in the least degree opened to
the reception of the rational light of
the New Dispensation, yet such notions
are still extensively promulgated through
the pulpit and the press, and not simply
by the "deluded Millerites," but by
men who are highly esteemed for their
learning and eloquence. DR.. Tying,
formerly of this city, now of New York,
has, within the last few years, publicly
and earnestly advocated doctrine iden-
ticsl in its main features with the one
referred to above.
Several of the Episcopal bishops hold
and teach the same doctrine.-PhiLa-

ply to 8 note which the editors q the
IateIEgencer received, Disappearing Of
their conrse IN the discussion OF national
questions, they use the following sd-
nirsble and Independent language:
"a public journal which came into
existence with the first meeting Of Con-
gress, at the constitutional seat Of gov
eminent, which was for many years the
only public journal that gave regular
and connected history of the proeeed-
ings of that body and Of the govern
ment, and which in 6fty-6ve years has
never, from fear or favor, departed from
the principles Of conduct which it pub
EcIy ayowed on its initiation, must. m
the very nature of things, have been
looked upon with appreciation by the
calm and rejecting portions of both the
great parties which then, and for long
series Of years afterwards, divided the
political opinions of the country. If
this had not been the case It would never
have outlived the confagration Of its
Office by the public enemy in 1914, and
the subsequent unholy efforts to put it
down during the reign of prescription
1t has come through the fires of perse-
eution unscsthed; it has never quailed
under the frowns nor been Influenced
by the fattering smiles of the high IN
place. It is not likely that the editors
Of a paper who have been thus true TO
themselves, thus consistent in their
bearing towards all men and all parties,
fearless in denouncing wrong and de-
Tending right, should, at this protracted
period of their labors, submit to the
detation of any man or set of men,
We are not unwilling to admit that we
may have committed errors of judg-
ment, for we have never pretended TO
be free from the common lot of humani-
ty; but we have dared to be honest in
the worst of times, and we are growing
too old now either to be frightened by
the threats of loss, or seduced by the
