THE HURDrN OF TAXATION.

The peoples of the North are beginning
to groan audibly under the pressure Of
the heavy taxes which Congress has i'm
posed upon the productive industry of
the country. The Pittsburg Gazstte, a
Radical organ, gives the following evil
dence as to how this system is working
under a contraction Of the currency
"Do the members Of Congress realize the
degree Of difficulty under which many Of the
productive industries are laboring? 1t
seems 90 us that their adjournment over the
holidays. rs in ordinary cases, signifies the
contrary, Three hundred million Of dol
lars year are collected out Of these IN
dnstries. In many cases, the excise dn-
ties not only exhaust all profits, but eat
largely into capital. This condition Of
affairs can not iast. Either producers
must have relief, or production tH.st stop.
With the stoppRge Of production must come
national bankruptcy"
There is no doubt that the industrial
interests Of the North are suffering very
considerably from the effects Of high
taxes We are told that many manuiac
turing establishments are working simply
TO pay taxes and rents, while others are
run merely as an act Of kindness to the
worknen, the owners not deriving one
cent of profit therefrom This is far from
being an agreeable state Of affairs and
vet it is undoubtedly true. We do not
wonder that the Radical organs like the
Pittsburg paper clamor for relief from this
policy Of imposing ruinous taxes upon IN
dustry But they have shown no sympa-
thy with the South In this matter Of tax
alton. A most onerous tax is imposed
upon the staple production Of the South,
and il has seemed very proper in Radical
estimatiea that this tax should be con
timed, because it yields large revenue.
Whatever can be drawn from the people
If the South in this respect seems 90 be
REGARDED as entirely right BY the leaders
of the Radical party Aud even the New
York Chamber Of Commerce has come to
the sage conclusion HAT this tax upon
our cotton ought not 10 be repealed The
Gasstte puts the ease plainly for the
North. Either producers must have r.
Lief or production must stop and with
the stoppage of production must come
national bankruptcy Snch appeals as
this. e anything like general, must exert
an influence upon Congress, but viii that
r.suI, in bsnefit 10 the South in the least
Now that the currency Is being contracted
,he crude legislation Of Congress is having
~ legitimate result, and it Is eininently
proper that tl.is ruling section should be
made T. feel its evils.

now A MAN rnEEzEs TO DEATH.

NJ Pouchet lately read an interesting
paper on this subject before the French
Academy Of Science The authors infer
ences are as follows:
/. That the first phenomenon produced
by cold is 9 contraction of the capillary
vessels 70 such an extent that globule of
blood cannot enter these vessels, therefore,
remain completely empty.
.. The second phenomenon is an altera-
ton of the blood globules, which amounts
TO their complete Reorganization.
3. Every animal completely frozen is
absolutely dead, and no power can re-ani-
mate It.
4. When only part is frozen that part
is destroyed by gangrene.
8. If the part frozen is not extensive,
and only a few disorganized blood globules
pass into circulation, the animal may re-
cover.
G. But II, on the contrary, the frozen
part Is Of considerable extent, then the
mass of altered globules brought into the
circulation when the part is thawed, rap
idly kills the animal
Z. For this reason a half frozen animal
ruay live long time if maintained in this
condition. since the altered globules do not
get into the circulation but it expires rap
idly as soon as the frozen part is thawed.
5. In ali cases Of congeiation, death is
due to the alteration Of the blood globules,
and not to any effect on the nervous system.
y. Ii results from these facts that the
less rapidly she frozen part is thawod, the
more slowly altered globules ind their way
into the circulation, and the greater the
chances of the recovery Of the animal.

Presidents Reception.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather the reception
at the Executive mansion was brilliant.
The streets were filled with melted snow
and slush. Pedestrians were almost en-
tirely excluded from calling, but at an
early hour the carriages commenced coming
towards the Executive mansion to go
through the formalities of a New Years
call. With the dignitaries and diplomats
the call was one simply of ceremony; with
the masses it was one of feeling, duty and
courtesy. The President looked unusually
we'll He was habited as usual upon state
occasions, in a suit of black, precisely such
as lie wears in receiving his daily visitors.
On his left was stationed Judge D. s. Good
ing, United States Marshal of the District
of Columbia, who was supported by Deputy
Marshal Phillips, to whom the place and
name of almost every denizen of the Dis
trict, male and female, is entirely familiar.
Upon the right, and little retired behind
the President, were his amiable daughters,
Mrs. Slower and Mrs. Senator Patterson,
supported on the left by Major B. B. Finch,
the time-honOred master of ceremonies
upon such occasions, who acted az grand
usher.
The usher in introducing the guests to
the ladies Of the Presidents household re-
ception, was in the blue room. Mrs. Sto-
yer and Mrs. Patterson we're plainly, but
exquisitely dressed Mrs. Slower wore 4
black silk with close fitting basque, trimmed
on the cuffs and edges of the basque, and
on the bottom Of the skirt, with lilac silk
applege and very elaborate and tasteful
pattern of leaves and vines. Mrs. Patter-
son also wore a black silk with tight fitting
basque, braided with fine wheat braid, in
the same pattern as her sister, Mrs. Slower
Both of these ladies wore plain linen col
lars and mourning breaches and earrings.
They were supported by Miss Slower, a
bright girl of sixteen summers, a sister-in-
law of Mrs. Slower. She was dressed very
plainly, in white and blue silk, trimmed
with white bugles. Her hair was slightly
frizzeled in form, and gathered in a neat
roll back, and secured by band of blue
cord

THE INDIANA CONSPIRACY CASE
DECISION DF THE SUPREME


WASHINGTON Dec. 3l.-The opinion Of
the Supreme Court in the case Of /. p Mil
hgan, of Indiana, for conspiracy, the case
being on a certificate of division Of opin-
ion between the Judges Of the Circuit
Court for the district of Indiana, has been
officially promulgated. TIE opinion ofthe
Judges Of the Circuit Court was opposed in
three questions, viz
First-On the facts stated i'm the petit
ton and exhibits-ought a writ of habeas
corpus be issued,
Seoond-On the facts stated ought the
said MilligRn he discharged from CdstOdy
Third-Whether the military commits
sion had jurisdiction, legally, to try and
sentence Milligan.
Judge Davis, who delivered the opinion
Of the majority Of the court, held that the
writ ought 10 be issued and that Milligan
was entitled 20 be discharged that the
trial by military commission was contrary
to law; that, as a citizen of Indiana, which
was not in rebellion, and not being in the
military service, he was amenable only 10
the civil law, and not the military law /;
that one Of the plainest Of constitutional
provisions was violated when he was tried
by a court not authorized and ordained
by law, and another guarantee Of freedom
was broken when he vas denied trial 10y
jury.
The frst two questions were answered
afirmatively and the third negatively.
Chief Justice Chase and three Others dis
scented a 10 that question, holding Il TO be
within the power OF Congress, in time Of
danger Of invasion, TO determine in what
States or districts persons may be tried by

marked that the constitution is a law cor
