THE TARIFF. The New York Herald,
in its notice of the report of Com
missioner Wells recommending a
general reduction of taxes, says:
Mr.. Wells is evidently personally
disposed towards high tariff, yet he
accepts it merely as incidental to the
production of a necessary revenue.
The report in general favors q reduc-
ton of taxation, which is just what
the people require. We have too
many taxes, and they are levied at too
heavy rate and too great q cost to
the Government. Ii the regulation
of the tariff should incidentally &C
crue to any particular branch Of in
dustry, there can be no objection;
but tariff imposed for this purpose
alone is most unpopular. We must
have our taxation arranged upon g
general plan, with y view to obtain
ing sufficient revenue for the Govern
mcnt expenses, and for 10 other
object. There has always been
conflict between the ideas of tariff
for protection and tariff for revenue,
and it IS now pretty well understood
that the latter is the only legitimate
method which can be tolerated
Manufacturers OF certain articles
claim specific privileges, which they
are continually advancing in the lob
by; but they are only like Wall street
brokers, who Corner some pGrticll-
lar stock, and then sell out to their
own advantage. The difference be-
tween the manufacturers and tho
stock brokers is, that the former e1-
pect Congress to do the work for them
which the stock brokers do for them
selves.

SERIOUS CoNFnAGRArIoN- oN-Ne learn
from tho Charleston Ne,cs that @ fire
occurred in the Kingstree jail q few
nights ago, which consumed the
whole building and caused a onsi-
derable loss OF life. twenty-five
freedmen are supposed to have pc
rished in the flames. The fire origi-
mated in the cell of one of the pri-
soners, and before assistance could be
procured, the building was wrapped
in flames. In consequence of the
absence OF all facilities, and the jail
being in q comparatively isolated
position, the efforts to save the pro

HE CONGRESSIONAL EXcURsIoNIsTs
The special correspondent OF the New
York Times writes:
The New Orleans excursionists re-
turned this morning, having been
absent just thirteen days. They all
speak in the most enthusiastic terms
of their reception everywhere, and
assert that they were greatly surprised
at the political sentiment that exists
IN many quarters in favor of the con-
stitutional amendment. Politics were
not generally discussed, but illusions
thereto were sometimes unavoidable,
and Senator Wade, at Memphis, and
Representative Latin, at Nashville,
both took strong ground on the con-
stitutional amendment. and produced
highly favorable impressions. The
eXcursionists represent that, notwith-
standing the efforts of the politicians
TO prevent it, there is a sentiment
forming i'll favor OF the amendment
will: great rapidity, and that its rati-
tication is simply question Of tine.

Results of Horse salve.

A farmer in Peoria county, Illinois,
had a sick horse, The other day he ap-
piled TO the animal a very strong blister
ing salve, after which, according to the
Transcript, water being scarce, and
himself hungry, he sat down to the en-
joyment Of his evening meai without
going through what every Moslem con-
sderers essential to salvation. During
the evening his children grew uproarious,
aud he spanked them like good citizen.
Theswifa of his bosom approached him,
and he chncked her under the chin and
kissed her like an -affectionate husband
They retired to bed, but during the small
hours wsge awakened by an intolerable
tching and burning. They couldn't
sleep, the childhen couldn't sit up, the
wife of his declining years was in agony,
and his own hand itched and smarted as
if it had been engaged in horrid MUIR
der, and wanted to turn States evidence.
AS he lay groaning and sweating with
his weeping household, an idea flashed
over him, il was the horse doctor s
plaster-good for equines, but bad for
humanity. The whole family got up and
washed, and save that the children were
slightly uneasy, and himself and wife
blistered in snndry and divers places, no
material injury followed. TsoL so4 B.

From the Columbus (0hio) JournAl.l
At the commencement Of the late war
quite number of counts and princes
came over 10 take service in our army,
and a number Of them found places on
the stats of Mcclellan, Fremeut etc.
Among the number was Prince Salm
Salm, from some German Province about
the size OF Yankee pocket handker'
chief. He served us during the war, but
since the closing Of tive have not heard
anything concerning him. 1t seems, from
the late dispatches from Mexico, that he
had taken service under Max, and was
taken prisoner with him, and that his
wife is now interceding with JAurez for
the lives Of Max and her husband Salm.
The Prince is an innocent, harmless
sort OF person, not capable Of doing much
harm to anyone. he married his wife
after an acquaintano of six hours, she
being at the time engaged as a danseuse
at one Of the New York theaters. Sheis
smart and pretty. ggre gO,. GEfTI
The Mexican kilograms inform us
"that she is an American LADY,. and

The former is mistake, as she is a
native of Canada or Nova Scotia. The
latter may have been true, as she is said
to have been connected with several
other gentlemen before marrying Salm-
Salm.
1t is said that Salm owed many of his

THE LIZARD MANIA.

A short time ago a female at Ana

snake in her stomach, but post morten

was the victim OF consumption. This
disclosure seemed to satisfy the public
for brief time, but the sensation ha,
been revived in the person OF man al

while indulging in a draught OF refresh
ing water he swallowed a lizard. He
states that he felt the animal, as il wig
gled and twisted down his throat, and
that the feeling was decidedly unplea'

proof Of the assertion. Allihe instances
of snake, lizard and insect swallowing
that have ever been reported are raked
up and presented to the view Of the

retches and throws himself into improb'

the formidable creature that has sought
an asylum within his stomach.
First we are treated to the statement
of Mr.. Peter Lyke, who says that while
in thu army, fighting for the honor of his
country, he swallowed a small water
snake, and that since that eventful period
he was unable to sleep without first
drinking gallon of water. He finally
resolved to dislodge his snakeship, and
to this end took violent emetic, which
had the desired effect. and brought forth

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE following
is an extract of private letter written
by an officer of the Liberal army to his
brother in Monterey:
r yskrr QUERETARo, May 20. 1867. >
DEAR BROTHER: Colonel Lopez com.
mauding the regiment of the Empress
(probably for the purpose of saving his
life in case Of defeat), delivered to us
the fort of the Convent de Ia Cruz, the
key to all the Notifications. This took
place on the morning of the 18th iHst
at twenty minutes past four o'clock, and
Immediately our regiment and that Of
the Lapremes Padres occupied this post,
finding all the troops Of the enemy fast
asleep except the sentries. When we
reached the fort we jumped over the
intrenchments, surprised the guards,
and at once occupied all points Of the
Notifications. The surprise was 30 com
plete that when we challenged them they
found the points ofour baYonets at their
breasts, and the soldiers, officers and
chiefs surrendered without firing a single
shot, during the whole affair. All this
was effected by the two regiments above,
and during the whole time the lines of
the besiegers and besieged remained in
their positions. After we found our =
selves master of the most important point
we marched with two companies of our
regiment into the midst OF the enemy
to the principal square, and ascended to
the steeple Of the Franciscan church, of
course without knowledge of the enc
my. At daybreak we commenced ring
ing the bells of the church and began
firing at all points. The enemy, not
knowing what had happened, awoke
frightened and in the greatest confusion.
Disorder was the result, the enemy run
ing in all directions, without the hope of
escape, as whenever they struck any
part Of our lines they we're fred at from
the front and by US from the rear This
was death blow, no one escaping. =
