BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-We learn that as a
highly respected female of the county, iv-
ing some mil8s North of this City, was
coming to town few days since, unat-
tended, she was approached by young
negro man and assaulted with an evident
attempt to commit an outrage upon her
She was roughly handled before efecting
her escape, and everything of value that
she had about her person was abstraeted
She applied at once, on reaching the City,
to Mayor Haywood, who, not having the
power to issue q general warrant in the
premises, referred her to the military au-
thorities. The latter gave prompt atten-
ton to her complaint, and at once sent out
squad of cavalry, with the lady and a
friend, to make search throughout the en-
tire neighborhood where the outrage was
perpetrated. The miscreant could not be
found, but the lady is certain she can iden-
trust t n that W the villain may yet be arrested

Various questions as to the construction of the
Revenue law have been addressed to this Depart

in the hope that they may be Of service to officers
adlninist ering the law.
The following extract from a late order of Maj
Gen. Sickles, will show that the collection of the
State taxes must be made, Notwithstanding the
recent Act Of Congress placing the State under
military rule:
'XVI. Nothing in this order shall be construed
to restrain or prevent
the collection of any
tax impost, excise, Or charge levied by authority
of the United states or of the Provisional Govern
ments of North and South Carolina !; but no i'm
prisonm. mt for overdue taxes shall be allowed
will be pleased to learn the views of any one.
who conceives that his business or property is
unduly taxed-will give those views carefully con-
slderation, and if, III my opinion, the objections,
are just, will report them to the General Assem-
bly, for their action.
If in ally county blanks for taking tax lists have
not been received, they can be had on application
to the Comptroller whose province it is to furnish
them, and who long since forwarded copies by
mail. Very respectfully,
KEMP p. BATTLE,
Public Treasurer.

i No people in the world have as little
cause for complaint as the people of
the United States. 1t is true all do not
have as much money as they desire,
but every intelligent, Industrious man,
can be surrounded with an, abundance
of all necessaries of life.l Our -Ameri-
can dogs live on better food than thou
sands oflaboring men in some parts of
Europe. Again. NO other country
affords a man a competency with as
little labor and exertion as this. The
farmers of the United Statesare justas
independent as the Dukes of Europe.
One man can raise more bread here, in
Wyandot Co. than twenty can in some
-densely populated parts of Italy. And
yet how often do we hear the complaint
of "hard-times," an expression which
like some awful oaths,o is utter
ed often, and it almost seems to US,
with ignorance of it's real meaning.
2 For our part we like this land dearly
California, with all its gold, has no
charms for us, and the trump Con
gress, the "horrible'' Brigadiers and
our national debt annoy us about as
much as the sweet songs of the Canary
birds. e'' #p - .ln

The question of submitting to the

whether the word white" should be
expunged from the State Constitution,

rough, but imperative. 1t can not be
evaded. Events force it upon us
Congress has made it. and the party
that sustains Congress can not unmake
it. The Democratic party will insist
upon it, The Western Reserve. Will
demand it. But the poor-spirited po-

SO unreasonably cautious that they vii

The Iron manufacturers of Pitts

that under existing circumstances they
would not be justified in resuming bust

tai in manufacturing enterprises, unless
they receive adequate protection from

The Le.isiattye "Skeleton. ("

Every house, it is said, hassits skelE
etoll. and SO, of course, has the house

the Ohio Legislature forsthe past two
years has been the "word in white" in

the word<"white" from the Constitu-
ton of this State, has been decided IL
the negative !; enough Republicans vo-
ting With THE Deh ocrnts to- defeat the
measure; That is, virtually the situa-
ton. The question was on recon
mending ,an Amendment to the Consti-
tuition, by which. in article s. section / !,
the word white should be omitted; in
other WORDS to extend the franchise to
men regardless Of color.
Wercannot imagine why this thing
should prove such an incubus upon the
legislative stomach, as to give our
State solons the nightmare 1t is a
very simple question; whether color is
more than skin deep, and whether a
black man is entitled to pursuit OF
happiness on the same terms as the
white man. Just as often as that
Amendment to the Constitution comes
up, just as often should the Legislature
vote to submit it to the people That
is the only way to putt at rest, even

the people. 1t is Il mere question OF
time as to; the striking out of the
word white in our Constitution
There is no sound argument by which
such distinction can be sustained
There is no justice in denying the fran
chise to the colored man in Ohio, and
while we may have our doubts as tc
the result we think very short sighted
in our Legislature not to. recommend
the proposed Amendment and thus
change the field of controversy from
