T. iHE PEOPLE AND COUNTRY OF Japan
"a correspondent Of the London Times
gives the following account of the fa.
nous city OF Jeddo, in Japan:
"Jeddo, without exception, is one OF
the ilnest cities in the world; streets
broad and good, and the Castle. which
includes near the whole centre of the
town, built on slight eminence. There
are three walls or enclosures round This
quarter Within the inner, the tycoon
Emperor and heir apparent lives.
The houses Of the Princes ard rob1oo
are palaces, and you may imagine the
SIZE when some contain 1000 followers.
1hey are built in regular order, forming
Woe streets some 40 yards broad, kent
III perfect order; an immense court
yard with trees and gardens, forms the
centre OF each enclosure, in the midst OF
which is the house of the owner. the
houses containingthe followers, servants
stables, DC, form this large enclosure.
They are built Of one uniform shape
The gateways leading to the court ward
are exceedingly handsome, Of massive
wood work, ornamented with lacaae,
and other devices. From the road that
leads by the moat to the second wall is
lone OF the finest views / ever recollect

OF Jeddo with its trees and gardens, pic,

streets, extending as lar as the eve can
reach towards the interior; then there is
a view of the trees and green fields in
the distance, far away beyond the thick

view OF all is that close by, the we'll

1HE BEGINNING OF TRoUBLE.-Alle-
ghany Co., Pennsylvania, opens the ball,
III the approaching troubles arising from
town, county and railroad Indebtedness.
She refuses to pay interest on certain
railroad bonds, and has been sued there
on. The Supreme Court has rendered
Judgment against her and issued a per-
emptory mandamus to compel the lew
and collection of sufficient tax to meet
the debt. The Pittsburg Dispatch SAYS
that two members of the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners are pledged to DISC
hey the mandate of the Court, and con
tinues
"What the result will be we are una
bic to predict. Were the people of AL
leghany county the whole state, we
should say the tax would not be paid
but they are but the twentieth part,
while the United States Government is
bound to sustain the Executive in en-
forcing the laws of the State, and the
DEGREES OF its Courts, against any rebel
lion or instruction. Under these cir
cumstances it is nonsense to talk Of arm
ed resistance as likely to rid our people
Of the burdens complained of, grieyous

holders breads taxation much, but he
breads anarchy more-and will closely
calculate whether an armed Tor even
unarmed) resistance to what has been
decided TO be the law-the shooting of
tax collectors and other remedies now
are not "worse than the dis
ease whether such course, by plung-
hg community into anarchy and stain
ng oursoil with blood, would not only
'ender life unsafe, but depreciate the
value otproperty to much greater ex-
,ent than the imposition of such tax,
however unjust, Or however hard to be |
borne"
