The CLUB SYSTEM IN Sr. PETERS
BrRe:-In Russia they have carried
the club system far beyond what even
they have done i'll England. There
are clubs for ladies, and clubs for ser
vants-and a cook recently gave his
master notice, because he was not
allowed to go to his club Just now
st. Petersburg is full of very uln-
pleasant piece of scandal about one
OF the ladies' clubs. At these institu-
tons. card-rlaying is forbidden. and
SO, for want of better employment,
lotteries have come into fashion. At
the club referred to certain lady Of
rank had won over, either by love or
money, the servant whose duty it was
&c :scc:ta;c the winning numbers in
the lottery, and to read them aloud.
He placed himself behind this ladv's
chair, and always informed her be-
forehand of the lucky numerals. But
he overacted his part. His patroness
always won, and so the suspicious of
the losers were excited, the treachery
was discovered, and the noble lady
was compelled to leave not only the
club, but St. Petersburg.

TER.US-N ADTANCE
The VALUE OF NEGRO TESTIMONY

IHE VALUE OF NEGRO TESTIMONY
The Athens Georgia. ITmchman says
that the other day a gentleman in
that vicinity, being greatly provoked
at the insolence of negro woman,
administered to her, in the presence
OF two negro men, a sound fogging.
She forthwith reported the case to the
provost marshal. But while she was
absent on this mission, the gentleman
aforesaid remarked to the freedmen
that he would be arrested and fined
heavily unless they would relieve him,
which they could do by swearing that
he did not strike the woman a blow.
This they agreed to do, if he would
pay them a half dollar a piece in
silver. He was soon waited upon by
file of soldiers, and required to
appear at headquarters immediately,
which he did, taking his witnesses
along with him. He was arraicned
for assault and battery, and at once
introduced his two witnesses, who,
beng sworn, testified he had not
touched the woman! OF course. he
was discharged, and the woman Sc
verely reprimanded After tho ne
groes had left the office, the gel. +le-
man stated the case to the marshal,
Just as it actually occurred-assurinc
him that he did not employ the wit
nesses to screen himself from punish
ment, but solely for the purpose OF
illustrating the value of negro suf
trage.

Severe Taxation.

The amount of taxation which is now
levied upon the people is almost inoalcu la
Bile. A large portion of it being indirect in
its nature, il requires some knowledge Of
figures, as well as of the laws, to properly es.
innate it. First, there is the State and
county tax, which under the war bounties
and support of soldiers families, has swollen to
two per cent. upon all property, real estate
and personal :. II man is worth $4,000 he
is taxed $500 under this law, and SO on in
proportion. If he has an income of 81, 500
he has to pay on it at least S45 making his di
rect taxes $246. If he Is professional man.
he must pay $40 year for "a license, increas.
ing the figure to 1855. On everything he
consumes in the shape of groceries and. lry
goods, there is a tax of from fifty to a hun
dred and fifty per cent. II his dry goods,
clothing and grocery bill for the year is $500,
at least one half of it has been for taxes,
These taxes are swollen in this way. There
is, for instance, duty of twenty cents a
pound upon tea, payable in speoie. For the
last year it has been about fifty cents in pa
per. The importer pays that adds Il to the
original cost of the tea, and then charges
profits upon original cost and duty both.
The merchant to whom he sells also charges
profits upon the cost to him, in which the
duty is included, so that by the time the ar.
ticle reaches the consumer the duty on tea
has amounted, in paper to at least seventy
cents pound This before the war would
buy pound OF tea. Other articles pay still
higher duty than tea.
In the articles OF clothing for. both sexep,
the duties will average more than a hundred
per cent ln other words, everything costs
double on account OF the taxes. ,
The burden Of these immense taxes all
fall upon the labor os the country. The cap.
tai OF the country gets part ofits taxes back in
the shape of increased interest for money, or
increased rents of property, or inhanced prof.
its for goods; but the labOrer has no such way
Of relief, Upon his head the whole mass Of
taxation falls with crushing effect
To some extent, indeed, the capital of the
country is not taxed The hundreds of mill
ions Of properly in Government stocks are
exempt from State and local taxation The
rich Office holders in the service of the Uni
ted States pay no income tax whatever, The
poor and middle classes, however, probably
pay now onethird or ohe-qunrter nf all they
earn to support the Government-Ho long
