ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THREE WIVES
John S. Sprague has escaped punishment, at
Portland, Me-, by being proved more guilty
than he was charged with in the Indictment.
He was tried by the supreme court for bigamy,
last week, and the fact OF his having had two
wives, was clearly established, when his coun-
sci introduced evidence to prove that he al
ready had one wife when married to the other
two, in fact that he had three wives ct once,
and as the indictment was based upon the as
sumption that the second marriage was the
first and legal marriage, it was contended that
as to the last marriages, considered by them
selves, no bigamy was committed, because
Sprague was the legal husband of neither.
The judge sustained this position, the case
was mol proS'd, and the man who was charged
with having two wives, got clear by proving
that he had three. Great and wonderful is
the law.

"Thanks to Walker at Nicaragua, and Gen.
era Gandara at Sonora, we get rid of some of

Gandara's forces, and several go to Nicaragua

The California ladies are setting an excel.
lent example to the ladies at the East At
Placerville they have formed Calico Society;
no lady is entitled to membership unless she
is willing to appear at church, at balls, or on
the street in calico dress. Unmarried mem
bers or this society, especially ifthey are young
and good looking, will stand 'rigAt smart
chance" to obtain husbands.
Our neighbors at San Diego have been do
ing some wholesome lynching. A short time
ago, Sheriff Barton and some Of his assistants
were murdered by band of robbers near Fort
2ejon. A|lwelye of the miscreants wero cap
tured, and hung without much unnecessary
ceremony. These sconndrels are literally
coming to the end of their ropes. California
will soon cease to be their paradise"

MEssRs. EDIToRs-We of the metropolis were
thrown into spasms of admiration this morning
by the receipt of the Protocol, or Proclamation
for day of Fasting, Humiliation, and Prayer
Our Governor is evidently fast man, and jumps
at his conclusions with wonderful CELEBRITY. A
few days ago he was struck with the interfer-
ence, displayed by the Legislature in regard to
a certain Resolve which he thought or affected to
think an infringement of the executive prero-
gative having cracked the executive whip, the
Senate falls at once into the traces. Wonder what
that emnently conservative body think of inter-
ference as Swallowed forth in the Protocol, where
in Ministers of the Gospel are taught their duty,
as to how and what to preach on this occasion -
MesSrs. Usher and Messenger seem to be the ac-
knowledged leaders of the American wing in the
Senate. Their labors strongly remind me of an
tenerant lecturer. when describing portion sof
his apparatus, "this'ere vessel, gentlemen, is
full of air, and this ere air is full of
vacuum" Mr.. Coggswell of your city made
an excellent speech on the reading and writing
amendment. lie is the acknowledge orator of the
House.--This session bids fair 10 be longer
than any of its tardy predecessors. This ought
not to be, and Republicans ought to bestir them
selves and apply the proper remedy The vote on
me part q INC INC Senate yesterday, committing the
fourteen years amendment to a special commit
tee, is considered all hands, evidence that it
cannot pass that body. Although not prophet
nor the son of prophet, l predict that Gen.
Andrews will not receive many votes on the
ballotng which is to be taken next Thursday,
as he did on a former one. As to the hanging
question, our Legislature is evidently in favor of
more Hemp. Ifany thing worthy of note should
occur, will communicate it if desirable.

TAXABLE Property OF New York AND
PH1LADELPHIA-The total taxable property
OF New York for the present year. according
to the Assessors, is but 1927, 945,7I3 81
which, is admitted on all sides, is much les;
than the actual value Of the personal and reals
estate of the city. The rate of taxation is
$l3S 30-l00 per 800. The amount of tax
able property in Philadelphia, it appears, &C
cording to the report of the Finance Commit

which includes both personal and real estate,
and the rate of taxation recommended is
50 10 on the 800; which, it viii be seen. is
much higher than the rate paid in New York.
