one hundrd dollars, you pay nearly five
cents, If you are valued at one thousand
dollars your tax is forty eight cents. Can
you name any State where the State tax

is one and half mill on the dollar-in

A MELANCHOLY CAsE-Laura Crupp, re-
markably good looking young woman, was
before the Recorder, yesterday morning, for
using abusive language, on the street, toward
man with whom she had been living as
leman. The offense was proven. and she
was fined S25, which, it is doubtful, whether
she will be able to pay. She told at the Sta
tion House, with many tears, her history in
this country Her tale is an interesting one.
She says, she was living, few years ago, in
one of the Atlantic States very happily, when
she was sent for to this country by her father
who was then residing here Shortly after
her arrival, with her fathers consent she
was married to man who, she afterwards
learned, already had wife and several chill
dren. She left him in disgust, although in a
delicate condition, and soon found herself
destitute. A German keeper of saloon
took her to his house. and treated her kindly.
After the birth of her child, she had no other
place to go, and lived with him as his mis-
tress. Latterly, she says, he has been abus-
ing her, forcing her to sing in a lager beer
cellar for his living and hers, he doing no
thing, and mistreating her all the time, We
know not what truth there may be in hei
accusations against him, but, if he has treat
ed her as she represents, he is ga wretet
whom it were base fiattery to call coward.

misfortunes If she has truly represented her.

A ROYAL PRIsoNER.-Passing through
Washington street day or two since, says
the S. F. Times, we noticed crowd gathered
about cage, the size of a crockery crate
containing large and newly caught eagle
from Washington Territory. He was splen-
did specimen of "the fierce gray bird. with a
bending beak; piercing eye and a startling
shrek" and shot glances of defiance at the
curious gazers upon his humiliating position.
As yet his aristocratic plumage was unruffled
by the neglect of imprisonment, nor had he
lost a whit of the dignity of rank to be ex
pected from bird of quality As we lis
tened to joke or two about his having been
caught just south of the 4Sth parallel. the
occasion brought to mind Sheridan's remark

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OF PACK TRAty.-
As the pack train of VIM. Rice, coming from
Downieville to Forest City, entered the chap
parel this side of Galloways,on Sunday night
last, says the Nevada Journal three robbers
dressed as Cinnamon made their appearance
and commanded a halt The conductor of
the train unlimbered his revolver from the
horn of his saddle and fired five shots at the
robbers, who returned the shots three times.
Finding the contest unequal, the conductor
dashed on to Forest City, with the Express
matter, mails, &C., leaving his mules behind
which, however, followed him closely, CON-
ing In soon after. The robbers obtained no
booty. The attempt was made at about the
same place where McMullen was attacked

says the S. F. Herald, accused of threatening
Annabel Douglass, his wife. 1t appears that
the parties formerly resided in New York
whence Mrs. Douglass suddenly took her
flight for California, carrying off one of her
children with her, and leaving the father
with three others. The abandoned husband
soon followed, and finding that his runaway
wife refused to join him, endeavored to get
possession of the child she had taken with
her, at the same time instituting a suit for
divorce. The case was dismissed by the Po-
lice Judge, on Douglass giving his promise
not to foreibly interfere with his wife.

which resulted, it is said, in the finding Of in
the alley, partially buried, the foetuses of five

THE UNITED STATES AND HAYTI.

The details of o grievance said to have been
sustained lately by the %IIaytier Government
at the hands Of the Washington Cabinet have Jus,
transpired, and seem not without Importance. al
though the case will probably be found to have
arisen from the absence of sufficient explanations.
About a year back a party of American citizens
established themselves in the island Of Navaza,
about 80 miles from the Hayticn coast, and which
is claimed as a dependency Of that country. Their
object was to ship cargoes of an inferior kind Of
guano found in great abundance there. On learn
ing the facts the %lIaytien government sent two
commissioners TO examine. They found a regular
establishment, consisting of o wharf, boats, houses
and fifty workmcn provided with q couple of four.
Founders and other weapons, and that guano was
being actively collected. Theieupon, the %IIaytien
government sent a formal protos. to the American
agent at Port-au Prince, to be forwarded to Wash
ington, and waited the arrival of orders to the in.
t%erlupers to withdraw. On the 18th of August
last, however, two American meu. OF. war, the Sar.
atoga and another, visited Hayti, and notified that,
so far from the Washington Cabinet having any
intention to comply with the request made, the
vessels had come to protect the alleged intruders'
and to warn the government of Hayti not 10 inter,
fere with them. The ground assigned was that
by an act of Congress of the 18th of August, 1856,
the American government had been authorized to
protect citizens of the United States who may dis
cover guano on any island mot within. lawf full ju'
r%isdiction of any other government. Having given
this notice, the Saratoga. without waiting any re
ply, sailed off. The Haytien government then
sent q new protest to Washington, and in this po-
sition the affair at present stands. 1t is evident
from the notice given by the Saratoga that the
United States are disposed to deny the
Haytien jurisdiction. On the other hand, IIayti
asserts that upon that point, from historic prece-
dents and actual facts, there can he questi.n.-
Happily, matters of this description are now be.
yond the possibility Of permanent dispute, since
the laws that regulate them are well defined. The
United States showed in the Analogous case tba,
occurred with Peru about five years back that they
were prepared to deal with such cases according to
exact and literal interpretations. and there is reas
on to anticipate that, if the Haytien proofs are as
irrefraSablc as they are represented and believed
to be, there will be no resolution 10 set them at
defiance merely by the exercise of the strong
hand.

REDEEMED FhOM SLAVERY.

We find the following in reference to DR.. Jenk-
ins, a colored man who formerly resided in Roch-
ester, from the Hamilton, C. w. Times: HH
On the Brock Road, in West Glamboro', lives a
colored man, DR.. John Jenkins, who, in his early
life was a slave in Virginia. Twenty'four years
ago he made his escape, leaving two daughters in
bondage. lie resided in Rochester sixteen years,
and in 1851 he moved into this country, where he
is now settled. lie prospered in his undertaking,
and it became the darling wish of his heart to re-
deem his daughters from slavery but for eighteen
long years he could obtain no tidings of them
AT length, in 1853, he succeeded in communicat-
ing with his brother, from whom he learned that
they were separated, and that the eldest had been
carried South. Two years passed before h4 could
get any further information in 1855, hearing that
his youngest daughter was in Richmond, Va, he
gave II man fifty dollars to fetch her away but he
never saw the man or his money again. Next
year he found that the name of his daughters
owner was Allen Y. Stokes, and he wrote to him to
enquire whether he would sell her, and for what
price. Mr.. Stokes demanded $3.50 the father
paid the money, andsin 1857, his daughter and her
husband a free man arrived in this country
This year. DR.. Jenkins discovered that his eldest
daughter was in Florida, owned by Ex-Gov. r. X.
Call, and he wrote to him to offer to purchase her
freedom. MIR. Call replied that he would sell her
to no one but her father, as she was the most valu.
able house servant that be owned, and for her
faithfulness in his business since she had been in
his possession, he would let her father have her for
S400, and make her a present of $50. Her father
remitted the money at once, and had the happiness
Of meeting her at the Hamilton Railroad Station
on the 4th Of November. These facts need no
comment. 1t would be vain to endeavor to ex,

SHOWERING A CONVICT TO DEATH AT
AUBURN, NEW YORK.

We learn that quite an excitement exists at the
prison in consequence of the sudden death of a
convict who was this morning subjected to punish.
ment by the "shower-bath." The deceased was a
colored man, and was punished for making a lem.
onstration against tho foreman of the shop in
which he was to work. The offence was doubt,
less an aggravated one and merited q reasonable
punishment.
But it seems the bounds Of reason were over.

bath" and so severely punished that he was taken
to the hospital where he died in a very briei peri
cd. We have no disposition to exaggerate the
mismanogement in this case. The affair is bad
enough If only the truth is stated upon evidence.
1t seems he was placed in the stocks under q
high state of excitement. lie escaped from his
keepers before the showering, and ran some dis,
tance-was finally overtaken, and after considerable
OF a tussle, vas overpowered, lie was then taken
to the stocks, where another struggle took place ip
order to divest the convict of his clothes. And il
was under this state Of excitement and perspi rn
ton that he was forced into the stocks, and at least
three barrels of water showered upon him. Men
of ordinary judgement would have anticipated
the danger Of using the shosering process under
