4 Nan Murdered for Abusing the Pope.
A difficulty, growing out of religious
controversy, occurred recently at the St.
Louis and Bellyille coal mines, resulting in
the death Of a man named John Harrison.
Harrison, who had professed Episcopalian-
ism, without provocation began talking at
Campbell, and very vulgarly said, to he'll
with the Pope and Popcry; whereupon
Campbell drew one of his revolvers and
shot Harrison in the right side of the neck,
aud drawing his other revolver, presented
it at the bystanderS, and retreated by the
back door, threatening to shoot the first
man who should dare to follow in pursuit.
The murderer had not, at last accounts,
been arrested

of the last Republican.
He sets down the rate of tax upon the
dollar from 1913 to 1852, and from 1889,
and claims this rate as favorable to the
republican party. There are Just two
answers TO his assumption. The first is,
that Democratic policy was constantly
diminishing the rate and amount Of taxa
ton from 1913 to 1881. The second
answer is, that the assessment law of
1852 went into operation in 1888, and
raised the assessed value of the State in
one year from 10000, 900 to 100, 000,-
600; and consequently the rate for the
same amount of State tax would be much
less. No ono but confidence" man
would presume to argue that man pay
ing so in 1852, on his farm assessed at
$50, 900, and SO in Is 3 on the same
farm assessed at 10000, was paying a
less tax, although the rate was lass, caused
by the operation of a law requiring the
assessment to be made at its cash value.

RlGuTs OF MARRIED WoMEN.-A bill
is now before the Legislature of New
York, and will probably be passed, ex-
empting the earnings of a married woman
from attachment for the debt of her hus-
band, and giving her the exclusive con-
troll of her earnings, as she now has of the
property which she possessed at the time
of her marriage. If the bill passes, a
married woman will stand, as far as her
property is concerned, in position of a
still greater independence than her hus-
band; for while he continues to be liable
for her debts, she will not be liable for
his He will not have the slightest claim
upon anything she possesses, that will
not be based upon her affection, and If

showing every sign of contrition he cried

Duty on SALT.-A bill has been in

discovery that we have "the strongest

it pass, "would doubtless receive the
