DIR. SANroRD's INvIGoEAroH.-The most scep-
teal people can be convinced by trial that all
the family medicines are not humbug, and
that among the thousand of butterfly life there
are few of greatner it, and undoubted worth.
OF these, DR.. Sanfords Invigorator,or Liver
Remedy, stands first and foremost among the
remedies OF the day that can be relied ON as
a medicine that is all it is recommended by
its proprielors. 1t advertises itself on every
trial, for there are none who use it but
tell their friends to do so, aud so it goes from
mouth to mouth till all the people of the Union
have learned the good of this truly valuable
medicine 1t is recommended with testimonials
to prove its virtue for the cure of liver com.
plaints of every kind, from the worst Dyspepsia
to a common headache, and is particularly adap-
ted to Jaundicc Deranged Stomach, Bowel Com
plants and diseases of children.
One or two doses are said to cure a cold with
scarce failure. 1t is worth trial for this
alone Itis particularly adapted to the use of
ladies of sedentary habits. Some ladies of the
the highest standing in society have given
their certificates of its efficacy, and we say to all
who are ailing, try one bottle, and you will new
er be without Btoon,fed Press. feb l.

TlrFs ,ssFsSEn BY TOWN, TOWNSHIP AND SUB

The foregoing figures present some curious
facts, the most striking and important of which
is, that while the total taxes for all purposes
amount toS9, ,756, $50 80, nearly three-fourths
of this amount is assessed by the local, county
and township authorities The State tax is
only S2,97S,l22 Is, while the local taxes are

the burthen of taxes originates, and where the

047, ,9O2 are for the payment of the State debt,
or Sinking Fund, and 81 ,342, ,0I3 26 for Com

priated to road expenses, and the payment OF

been raised in the different townships and sub
districts, as school and school house tax.
The total annual cost of our present school
system, including library, and the erection OF
school houses, is 81, 7S0,S24 IA.
We give these facts from the official returns
for the purpose of showing how the aggregate
of taxation is made up.
The annual levy, Estate and Local, } for schoo
purposes alone, exceeds the levy for all othe1
State purposes by S1,l45,715 IS; yet the peo
pie consider this amount well spent, and there
fore can have no reason to complain of the ag.
gregate of taxation to which it so largely con
tributes.
TIE place for retrcnchmeut is in the town
ships, and cities and counties, where the loca
taxes are nearly three times as much as the
State taxes. The people, therefore, have the
remedy in their own hands. The heaviest ex
penditures are made under their own eyes, BY
| their own immediate local officers. If the
think these expenditures are too heavy, the

Capital Punishment.

The recent trial in this place for murder, gives
occasion for very free expression of the senti-
ment of the people on capital punishment
Every one is struck with the fact, that the pro-
lection of society found in the punishment of
crime must be sought in the certainly, rather
than the severity of it. OF all who believe Cole
guilty, almost every man says that he should
have rendered verdict of the same kind, had
be been one of the jurors. The responsibility
of taking life, which cannot be restored, is so
great compared with Penitentiary confinement,
in which a mistake can be repaired, that those
accused, or those guilty, will always have so
great a benefit of doubts, that it is next to I'M
possible to convict of murder, unless under cir
cumstances where it is rarely likely to occur
The question of the Iightfulness of the punish
ment is not the one we have to consider In this
relation. 1t is the policy Of persisting in the
use of statute that cannot be enforced, and
which operates as an immunity to murderers,
rather than terror. The question for the peo-
pie of Ohio to consider is, whether they will
threaten with an uncertain penalty or punish
with certain one If we desire the laws to pro-
tect our lives we must have laws that can be en-
forced where the balance of testimony will con
Wet, and not requiring the entire removal oi
doubt. We present it as question of policy
The theory of the death punishment can be ar
gued at tleisure.-AshtabulG Sentinel.

tons of the increasing prosperity Of the people
of Salt Lake City, since the advent of the o. s.
troops into the territory, is the marked change
that has taken place in the style and matter of
the Deseret News, the official paper of Brig
ham Young. Formerly it was made up almost
exclusively of Tabernacle sermons and exhor
tations, and occasional scraps of doggerel, with
few official notices, and seldom an advertise

local and selected news, both domestic and
foreign, large proportion of editorial matter,
and is altogether a fair readable newspaper,
instead of the dark lantern sheet of year ago,
whose object then seemed to be TO keep the peo-
pie in ignorance of the world outside, rather
than to enlighten them with regard thereto.
The contrast is striking, and the result is no
doubt due to the presence of the army, which
has stimulated industry, revived business, and
opened channels of communication to a locality
which it was designed to keep isolated in order

"Bank and Railroad Corporations have certain
exclusive privileges granted them, in return fol
! which the public demand to be considered, and
their interests consulted. Herald, 24th NoU.
My attention was attracted by extract quoted
above, and l wish to submit, to the public who
make the demand" few OF the exclusive
privileges granted to the Free Banks.
lst. They are Privileged, if they lend money
to others than produce men, to take four pei
cent. less interest than individuals can take.
ID. If they lend money payable within the
State they cannot take a negotiable note. II
must be payable exclusively to them.
81. They cannot be benefited By the rise in
any real estate they buy on execution, no mat
ter if they hold it for years, provided the pre-
ceding owner tenders them cost, &C., before the
bank sells to another Would the public like
this privilege!
4th. The stockholders are liable to an amount
sufficient to cover the entire loss of the capital
and an equal amount in addition thereto. I do
not now think of case which would have re-
quiIed greater liability to cover the loss They
are compelled to keep out circulating notes for
the benefit of the community, when tits ques-
tion whether it is not at loss TO themselves
which, think, can be proved loss. So much
for their privileges of circulation and exemption
from liability.
9th. They are compelled, without choice } to
swear to their condition and pay taxes on their
sworn statement; privilege which, if offered
to the dear public, would excite some slight

Chinese Sugar Cane.

In southern Kansas the settlers are turning
their attention to the cultivation of Sorgho or
Chinese sugar cane, and are at present engaged
in making syrup and molasses from the late
crops. In Lykins county large supply has been
exported. Between Westport and Paola, the
whole country is reported as pressing out and
boiling down the juice of the cane, with presses,
furnaces and kettles of primitive character
The syrup sells from thirty to forty cents per
