NEW ORLEANS ELECTION. The glorious
American victory in New Orleans has already
been announced by telegraph. The New Orleans
papers of Tuesday last contain the full partcu-
lars We learn from this source that the Amer
lean majority for Mayor is over 1000! That all
other American candidates for city officers are
elected by enormous majorities, and every Alder
man and Assistant Alderman elected is of the
same party with two exceptions This is the
most sweeping triumphant victory ever gained
by the American PARTY in my city of the South
and is an earnest of what may be expected in
November, when the gallant and patriotic Amer
leans of New Orleans shall be arrayed in support
of Fillmore and Doneson.

Az IMPROVEMENT IN RAILROAD TRACKS has
just been tried on the Erie Railroad near Jer-
sey City,-whieh dispenses with the old wooden
ties or sleepers, and substitutes u contrivancc at
about the same distance apart the ties are
usually placed. These are planted hollow iron
pillars filed with india rubber, connected by
transverse iron bar. The track resting. in the pill
lars gives an agreeable spring to the cars pass
ing over them. The usual wrenching and scrap
ing i. also avoided We think an invention like
this will prove To be of vast utility. 1t will save
great expense in the wear and tear of roads give
ease aud convenience to. travellers. and abridge
some of the heaviest expenses growing out Of the
Rallroed travel. The enterprise is in good hands,
aud Company has been formed to put the i'm

DEATH by SOMNAMBULISM.- On Wednesday
night last Mrs. Mary Cooper, wife of Edward
Cooper, of North Andover. Mass, came to her
death under the following singular circumstan-
ces: Mrs. Cooper retired to rest at an early hour
with young child. Her husband went to bed
about nine O'clock, when his wife partially awoke
and remarked that she had been dreaming Of
washing hard. Nothing more was said and all
went TO sleep. At about half past | | o'clock the
child cried, and Mr.. Cooper called his wife. On
receiving no reply he arose, and found she was
gone. An alarm was Immediately given, search
made, and her body was found al about midnight
in the mpond of Hodges factory. face down
wards. 1t appears that Mrs. Cooper got up very
carefully and without n light passed down 10 the

From this it will he seen that British taxation
Is the highest, and that of the Unite States the
lowest in the countries namcd~tho former being
five aud one half times greater than the latter.
Think of this. ye grunst ers; aud bless your Tor
tunate destinies that have made you ciiizens of
America!
II may DO supposed Tint the chief berden of
this enormous taxation fails on the landed pro
prictors and the wealthy classes of society. Such
howeyer,is not tho case. The land owners hav"
taken care of them selves, and the poorer and mid
ding classes bear nearly the whole weight
The taxes mainly raised upon articles in
daily consumption by the working classes, who
not represented IN legislation, fully two
thirds of the whole revenue being oxtorted from
those who are the least able to bear the impo--
ton Of taxeswhile the rich exempt themselves *
spend the taxes so raised in tho most riotous reck
lessness and extravaganza. AS en evidence, it
may be stated, that the land Tax, which has not
been increased since 1858, amounted. in 1917 10
only II lS3, 900 while the other taxes exceeded
forty nine millions of pounds.
As one instance of the unjust oper alton of the
laws of that country in this respect, it has be en-
so managed that a lord may leave Ia his success
sor an estate worth n hundred thousand pounds
per annum without suhlecting il TO n tax of n
single penny. while the laboring man, who be
queaths two hundred pounds Ia II fiend. also
saddles it with tax of from one to ten per cent.
How different the system in ebis country. where
tho burden Of taxation. whatever it may be, Is
borne by those best able to sustain it, and whore
the poor man does not have his hard earned WA
ges torn from him under any pretence, for the
purpose of supporting government and institu-
tions whose chief characteristics are useless
magnfcence and wanton extravaganoe. Lei ms
think of these things when we are disposed to
complain of the comparatively light burden i'm
posed upon us, and cheerfully contribute the
pittanoe required for the maintenance of sys
tenn of government so good and generous as the
one under which we live Exchange
