This whole section of country is more or less
engaged in silk-raising. The plains Of Lombardy

Very little Of the silk raised is manufactured here;
there are . few manufactures Of silk goods at

by Swiss merchants, taken over the Alps to Zurich

Of disease resembling dropsy, unknown in Eu-

and Nagato and who hcsitated to join the late Ty-
coon, have not only sent in their adherence to
Stotsbashi, but also contingent to aid his cause.

Congress from imposing taxes on the
property of each territory to pay the
debt incurred when itwasa State? The
Constitution of'the United States pre-
vents, by completely forbidding it. We
copy its language:
All duties, imports and excise, shall b
uniform throughout The United States
No capitation, or other direct tax shall
be laid unless IN proportion 70 the cen
sus or enumeration herein before direct
ed TO be taken.
The bulk of Southern property CON
sisting in land and the improvements
upon it, the public debts of the States
would necessarily be met, if paid by
themselves, chiefly by taxes on real es'
tate. But Congress is forbidden to lay
any tax on real estate, or direct tax OF
any kind, except by disadvantages over
tho whole country in proportion to the
census, The inevitable consequence OF
the territorial scheme would be the as
sumption of the Southern State debts by
the Federal Government and their pay
ment by taxes upon the whole people.
Another consequence would be the re-
lief of the Southern people from all taxes
for the support of local officers, whose
salaries would be paid out of the Federal
treasury, as in the case of the other ter
ritories Nothing is more certain than
that the people would refuse all volun-
tary participation in the territorial gov
ernments. There would, therefore, be
no territorial legislatures, nor any
local officers of any kind, only
such as were appointed from
Washington. The consequence would be,
that the people of the United States
would not only be burdened with the
Southern State debts in addition to their
own, but with the whole expense of
maintaining internal order in the South.
The difficulty and friction resulting from
the refusal of the people to cooperate in
the territorial governments, would quad
ruple the expense as well as transfer it.

BALD HEADS.

"Junius (who is shockingly bald
himself) says in his last New York letter
to the Chicago Republican: " Strange as
it may seem, badness among men is
growing to be fashionable, as it has long
been common, in New York, owing, per
haps to the fact that the most elegant
young men of Paris have prematurely
lost their hair. New York. initiates the
French capital in whatever it may, and
can not, Of course, be bshind in this last
capital eccentricity. So many young
men here have been enabled by nature
to follow this fashion, that they are in
high satisfaction at its adoption. Others,
that have luxnriant tresses, have really
begun to cut them short, and shave their
craniums, while those who have worn
wigs have discarded them and appeared
upon the scene with shining pates.

performed the part of walters. 1t is said

the service they undertook in the most

to be fine to understand the fineness of

were warmly thanked for the generous
boldness, which the guests declare they

WELL, DO IT.

We do not know, after all, that terri
torializing the Southern States would not
lessen the load they are bearing. If the
Government of the North wishes to
assume the debts and the property owned
by the State governments, and pay
additional taxes, they have the porer to
do so. If they wish TO deprive their
citizens Of the benefit of the Federal
Courts in the collection OF debts in the
South, let them blow their whistle and
roll on their car.
