Alas ! not all.

OUTRAGEs UPON JEWISH FEMALEs-An in
stance OF gross ontrsges. committed by Ger
tain rowdies upon several Hebrew families
residing in Ohio street, has just been brought
TO our notice We would premise the state
ment by the fact that the active parties are
pretty well known, as well as the one who
instigated the affair, and the Chief of Police
having been informed of the circumstance, it
is likely that the wretehes will be brought to
justice. One of these is believed to occupy
official position in this city. This fact will
soon be ascertained. when publicity will be
given, if proven.
During the erection of Capt Thomas new
brick building, on Commercial street. below
Montgomery Messrs Cohen Brothers, and
other small storekeerers were obliged to
move with their families from the old wooden
buildings, to houses on Ohio street. gang
OF rowdies, instlgated by the suspected party
already referred to, took upon themselves to
prevent the residence Of these families in
mat vicinity. and yesterday morning COM
menced an aggravated assault upon the houses
occupied by them, with the view of "clean-
ang them out" About three o'clock they
commenced an assault with stones and brick
oats upon several of the houses. One large
fock went through window, demolishing
the sash, and landing upon bed, in which
werea sick woman and her newly born

only to add that the assaulted parties are
perfectly respectable and inoffensive, and

A NEW THING FOR THE DooToRs Mr. Lewis
Foot, of Plainville. aged 70 years, died on
Monday the 1th, and on Tuesday an immense
bony excreseence. extending from the back of
his right ear TO his right hip, was removed.
1t weighs fifty-two and half pounds, and is
called by the doctors-skpping their Jaw
breaking technicalities-"a degeneration of
the shoulder blade" 1t had been growing
since 1855, and did not affect his general
health very seriously. The size of this ex-
traordinary excrescence or tumor is such, that
it nearly fills the half barrel in which it was
put for preservation as medical curiosity.

HoRsE BEEN Geoffrey st. Hlaire, the
naturalist, is now urging before the Acade-
any of Natural Science the propriety of the
introduction into the culinary department of
the household the use of horse flesh, which
he says makes much more nourishing and
wholesome soup than beef and that horse
steaks and horse roasts are quite as palatable
as the flesh of cows and oxen. 1t is only an
absurd prejudice he urges. which prevents
the general use of this article of diet. 1t has
long been asserted that his ideas have been
carried into practical effect by the keepers
OF cheap restaurants in Paris and that many
a "beefsteak" and ''bouillon," with which the
students of the Latiu quarter satisfy the crav
ings of the iuner man, are manufactured from
animals which never wore horns. Snails and
frogs are luxuries here, and when "horse'
becomes an acknowledged article in the

vent the addition of "dog-chops' and "ra-
gout de chat which like the horse, are pro-
badly only eschewed in accordance with an

The Tariff Issue.

1t does not require extraordinary sagacity,
says the Boston Transcript, to perceive that
trade is perhaps the controlling motive ope-
rating to prevent the return of the seeding
States to the Union which they have aban-
doned. Alleged grievances in regard to sla-
very were originally the causes for the sepa
ration of the cotton States but the mask has
been thrown off, and it is apparent that the
people of the principal seeding States are
now for commercial independence. They
dream that the centres of traffic can be chang
ed from Northern to Southern ports. The
merchants of New Orlea ms, Charleston and Sa
vannah are possessed with the idea that New
York. Boston and Philadelphia may be
shorn, in the future, of their mercantile great
ness by revenue system vergng upon free
trade If the Southern Confederacy Is al
lowed to carry out policy by which only
nominal duty is laid upon imports, no doubt
the business of the chief Northern cities will
be seriously injured thereby.
The difference is so great between the tar
iii of the Union and that of the Confederate ed
States, that the entire N orthwest must find it
TO their advantage to purchasr their import
ed goods at New Orleans rather than at New
York In addition to this, the manufacturing
interest of the country will suffer from the
increased impcrtatious resulting from low
duties, which will be paid to the government
of the "Confederate" States bankrupting the
General Government. The latter would be
false to all its obligations, if this state of
things were not provided against "To sus-
tain the General Government" says the AL
bany Evening Journal "a new class of "Co
ercionists' will very soon take the field The
conservative merchants of the cities of the
seaboard will not like to see their trade di-
verted They will, therefore, be found in
sympathy with the Administration, whose
purpose it is to transfer the Custom officers
for the Gulf States from the marble edihces
which have been erected 10y the Government,
in New Orleans, DC, to the quarter decks of
armed frigates, to be stationed at the en-
trance of the harbors."
The amount of duties now collected by the
seeding States at New Orleans, Savannah,
Charles on, DC is over $4,000 per day.
The method which will be adopted by the
Lincoln Administration to put stop to the
abstraction of its revenue is referred to in
the proceeding paragraph from the Albany
journal, which comments upon the effect OF
this policy as follows:
"ln thus collecting the revenue, quite as
well as by holding an isolated fort at fear
full expenditure of treasure and blood, can the
authority of the Government be vindicated.
This will be no blockade That, as the
law of blockade is now construed is nearly
practical impossibility ona coast line of thou
sands of miles 1t will involve US in no con-
troversy with foreign powers and may be
carried out as easily as floating light ship
can be maintained in Boston harbor.
If this much of coercion" is not practica
ble, then the Government is at an end"

AN UNAPPRECIATED INDvIDUAL.-We fear
the peple of California do not properly APP
preciate their benefactors especially those
who labor for the general good of the State,
without hope or expectation of re ward. One
of these benefactors is now in Washington,
undergoing sort of martyrdom for the put
lie good Connected with journal in this
city, and writing for another in New York,
he has ample facilities for publishing to the
world his good deeds, his excellent advice,
wise and just criticisms of public men and
public measures, the latter of which are
noted for their freedom from malice and envy,
it is astonishing that this benefactor is not
better appreciated. The other day this ben
efactor became fearful that Lincoln would
disgrace this State by his appointments OF

Washington, our self-sacriicing and patriotic
journalist was the only one to 90 to the res

was equal to the emergency. OF course he
had no personal feeling in the matter-his
entire correspondence is good evidence on
that point but he regarded the honor of his
State. He knew that he would be subjected
to bufetings but that is the fate of all mar
tys. California. tkreated with dire disgrace,

became known, the most intense excitement
prevailed among the colored portion of the
community. Large numbers gathered at the
depot, at the time the regular morning train
left, supposing the fuglives would be aboard,
one or two shots were fired at the train Be-
yond this there was no disturbance. The
slaves after hearing, were returned to their
owners, and brought back to St Louis.

STRANGE CHARGE AGAINST DR.. CzAPKAY-A
GUILTY CoMPLAINT-A strange, and what ap
pears on its face to be a very ridiculous
charge, was made yesterday against Dr. L.
} Czapkay 10y man named John Mayer,
who comes from across the bay. He charges
Czapkay with causing certain medical sub
stances to be taken with intent to procure
miscarriage - but at the same time that he
makes the charge, he unwittngly shows him
self to he most unconscionaUle scamp-his
own statements proving that he is himself a
criminal.
Mayer says that he called on Dir. Czapkay
and informed him that he wished to have a
miscarriage produced upon his wife. He did
not use words to that purpose, plainly, but
such was his idea and he was satisfied the
Doctor so understood it, who thereupon gave
him box of pills and charged him $40,
which was paid. He says he took the pills
home and gave some of them to his wife,
who became very sick but the desired mis-
carriage was not produced. He thereupon
went back to Dr. Czapkay and demanded
back his SO, which the latter refused to pay
and then it seem he had the son of Esoula-
plus arrested for the very crime which he
himself was certainly the principal in the
intent of committing,
Inc crime seems to have been one of intent
only, far the desired miscarriage was not pro-
duced. To establish the charge, it would be
necessary to show that the medicine was
really given; second, that it was calculated
to produce the alleged results; and third,
it was given wi h intent to produce those re-
suits. The fact, however, that the medicine
whatever it was, cost only SO, leaves it
matter of doubt whetherit could really have
been of the kind charged. If it was such
medicine Czapkay, is doing a very danger
