INDIAN HosrlLlrlEs.--The Tularc Record gives

INDIAN HosTILITIEs.-The Tulare Record gives
the following account of an attack by Indians upon
station on the Buttcrfeld overland route:
The place was attacked about sunrise by thirty
Indians on foot, who fired their arrows into the
house where there was woman, four men and
two children. At the same time seventy mounted
Indians rode up. An Indian, who spoke good
English, demanded the horses in the corral, and
was told to take them but not to fire on the house,
They took nine mules and horse, and killed bull
lock and ate it, but kept firing on the house, after
and Sharpe's rifle. The stage from the East ar.
rived at II O'Clock at night, when the station was
abandoned and all but the women and children
walked to the next station, % miles, they riding.
Two little pigs at the station followed the party
the whole distance, as they also had been scared
by the Indians. Another station was robbed in
the vicinity few days before.

E TALK ON CHANGE.

Ii was not lively yesterday on Carontclet street.
The carly part of the day. devoted 10 the peru
sal of the correspondence by the Europas mails of
the Sth inst The letters rather the contents are
free in commenting on the dusty and sandy cotton
Some parties write that fully l000 600 bales of cot
ton, or what was received for cotton, purchased for
cotton, ginned and baled for cotton, are horS ll
combat, and cannot be sold for an equivalent of S.
u bale. The views regarding cotton or its value
are conflicting. Those who have purchased freely
the present month trust to the increase of con-
sumption to bring them out; others hold to the
view that the growth has been over-estmated, and
there is a broad field for profit. The Bulls on the
flags yesterday were somewhat elated that frost
might last night follow tie rather Arctic change of
the weather yesterday. Then it was admitted
freely, frost or no frost that crop of 1000 900 of
bales was certain One of our correspondents in
Liverpool writes as follows regarding crop of
1000 900 bales:
Per Europa LlvEErooI. October = ls5a
Our cotton market has for weeks been laneuid
in prices, though this week the sales have beer to
some extent, with only stiler tone for good cot
tons. There is much anxiety regarding the grow.
ing crops. Full four millions will be required for
present rate of consumption: any decrease from
that estimate or any serious damage to the staple
growth, reducing estimates to $500 900 would cause
il rapid change in prices in this market. The trade
of this country in every department is most pros
porous.
Then another correspondent writes:
That lOc. T9 ft is enough for Middling cotton,
with crop of four millions, and with a crop of
four and quarter millions, prices ought to rule

LOUISIANA SENAroRsnIr.-The Floyd Louisianian
about the election of United States Senator i'll
Louisiana. We are confident that the editor would
not do injustice, deprive us of any of our just
lights, and when we inform him that we have per-
haps ten subscribers to the Sun for every one the
Iouisianan has in its own State, and we feel and
know that W. S. Parham would not only act as Z" a
faithful sentinel on the watch-tower" for the State
of Louisiana but would at all times be ready and
able to defend our institutions from the aspersons
of fanatics, and become a champion of the whole
South, he will doubtless concede to us the right of
boldly advocating the election of him, whom we
know to be honest, able and faithful and who will
stand by the Constitution aud the South, at all
hazards. Every Southern man, who has the vel
fare of the institutions of our country at heart,
should feel interested in the election of such an
able champion and bold defender of our rights
the Hon. w. S. Parham, and we should be pleased
to see our friend of the Lousianifn giving his in
fluence to aid in the promotion of good and true
men, and use his best efforts to overthrow corrupt
political jugglers, who only seek To advance their
selfish ends, and carry out schemes which will tend
to give them a lifetime position. [Vicksburg Sun,
9th inst.
All the Sun says about Mr.. Parham is correct, SO
far as he is Individually concerned, but neither he
nor anybody else like him will stand any chance
until the rule of the Ctlstom House is overthrown.
Mr. p thinks for himself acts for himself and talks
for himself. Such Democrats, under the present
regime, have no business in this State.

A dro anecdote is told in Paris of a young lite
rateur who recently got so far as to read his piece
before the committee of the Theatre Francais. He
gave it all the emphasis of his best elocution, and
to make the last effect doubly sure which brings
down the curtain-namely the death of the hero
by his own hands-when he came to this denoue-
ment, the young author pulled out a pistol and
fired it, to the CONSERVATION of the grave deliber-
ators. They were SO much moved that they went
into mourning for the hero by depositing at once
a black ball in the judgment box.

THE SUNDAY LAW IN PITTsBURG.-A Pittsburg

The passenger cars were stopped in Philadel-

Judge Thompson OF the Supreme Court OF course
the precedent reached here, and on simple notice
from Mayor Weaver, passenger cars refrained from
running Sunday, but insisted that the drivers of
carriages were also working Sunday, the same as
other days, for pay and should be stopped without
special reference to going to church. Affidavits
were made before Mayor Weaver Monday, Oct. 3,
against three drivers two of whom were on the
10th fined s25 each. Chief Justice Lowric, whose
driver was one of those fined, paid his. Five other
sitting here, which is desired by both parties The
stopping of the Associated Press dispatches along
the telegraph lines, originated by person named
Taylor going around to different offices threatening
suits. The Mayor had nothing to do with it, but
would take an affidavit the same as any other ma
gstrate when made by responsible party.

High Taxes; Folly of Reputation.

An unwarantable disposition is man
itested in some quarters in this State, to
Irepudiate the payment of taxes, because
the people regard them too high
Meetings have been held in some of the
towns in Grant county, in which reso-
lutions have been adopted expressing a
determination to resist the collection of
the taxes for the present year. Similar
demonstrations have been made in other
places. The folly Of such course can
not be disc ountenanced too decidedly.
Resistance to taxation lawfully levied
cannot be persisted in without resulting
in anarchy and the abrogation of all
government; it involves not only de-
tiance of the legal demands Of law, but
ultimate resistance by force. If any one
kind Of taxation may be ropudiated with
impunity, there may still be another and
another until all are disowned No re-
lief can be expected by the adjudication
of legal tribunals; the courts have but
one course to pursue, and the authorities
of the State are bound to enforce the
execution of the laws.
1t is poor commentary on the intel
llgence Of the people, especially under
a republican form Of government, when
laws are repudiated which the majority
enacted by their agents. Taxation is a
matter directly under the control of the
sovereign people they virtually author
ize public expenditures, and they have
the power to curtail them in legitimate
way. The people should hold their rep
resentatives to rigid accountability for
their acts, because the acts of the agent
are binding on those who delegate him
with power. If the people deem it a
hardship to live under the laws of the
State, then is it an acknowledgements
that self government is not adapted to
the peoples wants and necessities. This
conclusion IS one which we should
be slow to arrive at.
Our State taxes, it is true, are high
expenditures Which were authorized in
past years had to be provided for. Lun-
attic Asylums and other State institutions
were projected and commenced on a
scale too expensive and stupendous for
so young State. The folly of all this
extravaganza is now apparent, and there
is general demand for curtailment of
our State expenses. 1.-THE present Leg
islaturs does its duty, our State taxes
another year will be very considerably
diminished. The only safe course for
the people, is to pay the taxes, and not
only resolve, but act in view of more
rigid economy, in the matter of public
expenditures.
