a "slight sembIance" of truth about it; The

But has not the old Coon done something
else besides eat up the chickens ? "Sartin

he must have 'carried off, nearly al. the but

Had | the skill to paint

The Louisville Democrat discusses as fol-
lows touching the right and policy Of taxing
Government Bonds
The terribly l,yal Sta'e of Vermont is sgi-
tating The question Of. taxing United States
bonds, or the ircyns upon them. Petitions
are pouring in in behalf of that policy. A
large committee of the Legislature has been
appointed TO Investigate the subject of the
power of the State to tax these bonds
In times PAST it would have been easily de
cidcd that State could not tax United
States bonds for if State has such powel,
the States might nuhfy the power Of the Fed.
al Government to borrow money. On the
other hard, and by the same Logic, the Fed
eral Government could not tax State bonds !;
otherwise the Federal Government might
nuIllfy the right ola State to borrow money.
Ths Federal Government has undertaken 20
tax the circulation Of State bank paper
This nullifies the power Of State to charter
a bank OF issue.
This is directly opposed to the logic Of the
Supreme Court when Maryland attempted
to tax branch Of the United States bank
The court havip settled that Congress had
power to charter bank decided that State
conId not tax it otherwise the States might
niIlify this power.
But there is no telling what the States
may do, in these revolutionary times. They
may drop this logic and resort to philosophy.
The verdict cf The people may be that the
bonds must be taxed, and the fellow that
undertakes 10 gainsay it will be disloyal, and
the bond holder that makes too much fuss
about his bonds will be informed that he
mus: prove his loyalty or loose his bonds al
together, or be gla6 to get bis interest in Je-
gal tenders.
1t may be that the public debt may be in
compatible with the safety of the government
like a slavery and it may be a military ne
cessity to abolish it mcuh more to tax it.

More Returns from Jamaca.

The Deacon o: the red herring Telegraph
it appears, has at last received partial returns
of the late Republican Victory in Jamaica.
Yesterday Che 24th) he said:
"Jamaca was lately the scene of bloody
rencounter between the slaves and their mas
te-s."
He has not got full report yet of the aw-
fol butchery of Whites, consequently he is
careful , OF to declarear, unequivocally, Re-
publican Victory. He merely calls il a
"bLoody rencounter," as though it was a
"free fight" IN which the ueliigerauts were
mutually engaged in cutting each others
throats.
This last batch of retur ms, however, must
have been received by the Deacon from an
"intelI,gent contraband," via the "Under-
ground Railroad" He says this "bloody
rpncounter" took place "bet,ceen the sldres
and their masters" The fact is there are no
slaves in Jamaica. Slavery was abolished in
Jamaica by the British Government-whose
colony it is-about thirty years ago.-Pat.

come, the Kankees appetite for Turkey was little
stronger than for crow addressing himself to his
red friend he said: "You may take the crow, and
I'll take the Turkey; or I'll take the turkey md
you may take the crow" II
This seemingly fair method Of division, puzzled
the Indian for someti me but he finally unraveled
the mystery and exclaimed "You don't talk tur-
