How long will the people submit to be
bled In this atrocious mannerP How long
will they submit to have Industry and trade
burdened with such an intolcrable taxation ?
This Is only one form, too, OF our taxes. OF
the oppression Of the other, the New York
Post (Republican) says:
'.Readers have seen what princely profits
are divided among the shareholders in our
cotton and wooleh mills-thirty, forty, ,fifty
per cent. yearly on the money they have
inyested--a quarter OF n million OF dollars
IN some instances annually divided among
the members OF n single company, From
whom comes all this money? From the
poor people, WHO shiyer in the bleak blasts
that sweep our streets and In the unwarlDed

Tie difference between the cost of a suit of

Monday afternoon n little black boy
lsnatched some toys from white child ON
Ellis street. The father of the child gave

any harm, but for the purpose OF preventing

running of the darkies who retreated at

But the affair did not rest here. The Gu
shitcs departed, but to appear at later hour
with rcinforcements, to renew the fight.
Between one and two O'clock, Tuesday
morning, about twenty or thirty negroes
with mtlskets, proceeded TO and surrounded
the residence of Mr.. Reynolds on Ellis
street, near Mr.. kinney's, shouting and
yelling like pack of demons. Having
stationed seItincls at the front and back
gates, and one at each door, two or three
asecnded the steps ia the yard leading to
the second story, while the balance were
drawn up in line below. The party who
assembled the steps then demanded, in no
very polite terms, admittance into the house.
swearing vengeance the meantime against
the inmates, and the whole white race In
general. Mr.J. B. Reynolds arose and de-
mandcd what they wanted. 'ti u r
b AS soon as he appeared at the window,
four muskets were leyeled and fired, his
wife and himself having narrow escape
the balls barely missing them. In the
meantime, some person ON Broad street,
hearing the noise. and divining the object
of the infuriated blacks, reported the ifat-
ter 70 the policemen on duty at the upper
market, who, in company with some half
dozen Others, Immediately repaired to the
scene Of outrage Z" 'N' ii'.'
Their arrival was most opportuue, ms Il in
hllprobability saved the eiiusi0n the blood
OF innocent and unofIending citizens. The
negroes were in the act OF breaking omen
the door when tile party watching the gate
gave the alarm that the guards were com
ing, thinking the policemen were the white
guards OF soldiers who were patroling the
streets Christmas-dny, for the purpose Of
keeIing order. Tho whole party of negroes
Immediately desisted from their nefaTious
purpose and ran away, each one enddav-
oring TO make good his escape, without
caring what became OF the others. Two of
the negroes were arrested aud we learn are
now In custody. ....t...........r ID ..I

For this purpose he approached her In n

not stop here IN his efforts to find the owner
of lost money. He advertised the fact, and
soon the individual who lost the money
was discovered and the roll of bills faith

alluded 10, called on her; and SHE persists
In her determination that his son shall not

common cause of education, and there
by set an example for other townships
and even counties where no institutes
