ESLAEGEp.-The ST. Clair Republican, We are
glad 10 see, has been enlarged and furnishes an
increased amount of reading matter
The Lansing state Republican. [volume] (Lansing, Mich.) 1855-1874, 1860-03-06

The rate Of taxation in 1853, under the in.
creased valuation, and under the 'prO-savery
democracy" WAS but eight-tenths of mill. and
if Democratic policy had been carried out faith
fully, there could have been 10 occasion or ne
cessity for any taxation in ls59.-Lansing Jour
nal
The year 1853 is an extraordinary year in the
financial history of Michigan. That year the
State Tax was only 10000, LOcofocos never
tire of paradng this fact before tho people.
No person, by reading Locofoco papers, would
lie informed that any State Tax was ever raised
previous to that time, as in all their statements
On the subject they never 60 back Of that &c.
600.
In all their estimates Of the increase Of State
Taxes they invariably commence with that So.
900. They studiously ignore the fact that in
the year 1855 they raised just 100000 less
State Tax than they did the year previous
They keep the fact as carefully as possible out OF
sight Of the people, that for term of years pre-
vious to 1855 the State Tax ranged from $780,
600 to $4,000 year. Tho truth is they have
good cause for concealing these facts, for they
know that the system they practiced was simply
that of robbery, and that large share of the
proceeds Of those years went into the pockets
Of party favori'es.
But to return to the year 1858. The Journal
siys "if Democratic policy had been carried
out faithfully, there would have been no occa.
sion or necessity for any taxation IN 1852" This
is the silliest twaddle ever perpetrated by any
one pretending to possess even a mOdicum OF
sense The premise admits of only two con-
clusions Either the Democratic party would
have so completed their system of robbery
that they could run the government for the
"stealings in" or their intention was to "run
it into the ground"
Let us look at the result OF the policy adop.
ted in the year 1888.
The Constitution of the State, Art. XIV, See
l, says: 1.-THE Legislature shall provide for an
annual tar, sufficient, with other resources, to
pay the estimated expenses of the State Govern
ment, the interest of the State debt, and such
deficiency rs may occur in the resources"
We give below a statement of the current cx-
penses Of the year 1858, comprehended by this
clause of the Constitution, and the resources ap-
plicable to the payment of said expenses:

ShowiEg the current Expenses Of the State

BosroN, Jan. 2.-The Inauguration of the

YOUNG acknowledgements OF TWO
CHILDREN.-The New York police on Friday
received Geographic requests from Albany
to arrest Jasa ayliss, aged twelve years,
and Ellen Shurrer, aged thirteen years, who
had eloped from that city together. The
Express says:
BY diligent exertion they discovered that
the very fast young lady had an acquain,
supposing that the couple woald proceed
there, watched the house and caught them
entering at about six O'Clock in the evening.
James and Ellen expressed much surprise at
the sud den turn OF affairs, and did not at all
relish the idea of going to the police head
quarters, where they were taken by the OIL
GERS. The girl said she had not yet become
wife, though waiting to DO one, and sup
posed that for the present she would have to
give up all hope, owing to the "great fuss"
her folks had created. Neither she or 'Jim-
N.Y. had been treated well at home, and they
hardly knew better course to pursue than
to come on to New York and seek their tor
tunes together. Obtaining three dollars,
thew started on the boat for New York, hir-
ing a state-room for ST., and having another
Si left. After spending all their money, the
ambitious pair sought cut their Eighth av-
enue acquaintance, where, as above stated,
they were arrested. The girl is a bright,
intelligent little thing quite pretty, but rath-
er forward in her manners. She speaks with
great confidence, and does not seem to be
alarmed, apparently fearing more for Jim
nv than herself. On Friday she went all
ever the city looking for work. The boy is
fine looking child, and seems to be more
alarmed than the girl; did not at all relish
the idea of being locked up, and perfectly
willing to return. Both are poorly dressed,
and the probability is, that not having been
well treated at home, they took this means
of redressing their grievances. Truly, we
are fast people.

HEROIC CONDUCT OF RAILROAD ENer-
NEER.-On Saturday evening last, as the
mail train approached Marietta, Ohio, hav-
ing one hundred passengers on board, the
engineer, Mr.. A. Ridlon, noticed that the
rails were displaced on a trustle, just in front
of the train, as it came around a curve
Quick as thought he whistled down the
breaks, and reversed the engine, but too late
to save the engine and tender from crushing
through and falling about twenty five feet,
breaking Mr.. Ridlon's leg and arm and
somewhat ipjuring the fireman, Frank Ga
rightly.
The mail car hung over the edge OF the
precipice, but fortunately did not 90 ever.-
Had not the coupling broken, the passenger
car with all ON board might have been drawn
down. How many men would have had the
courage to act as did Mr.. Ridlon in this
case ? When asked why he did not jump
off, after the engine was reversed. he replied
that cone hundred lives were at stake, and
he risked his own to save them - Ali hon
or to such man. The remover of the rail
was doubtless the work oil some murderoHs

and the lives of the passengers. Paasburg
