CHARACTERISTIC DENocRATic ARTICLE.
1t will be our duty and pleasure, from
time 10 time, to rcpublish some Of the
more attractive articles from the La
Crosse Democrat. We are persuaded
that our Constitutional friends will en-
Joy these admirable productions from
the leading Journal of their party in the
great West. We regret the necessity
of having to omit certain passages that
would be stimulating to the Democratic
appetite; but our people are " little
particular in that res pect, and can't
stand language quite so strong as Demo-
Gratis can. This is what" Brick I" said,
referring to the murder Of Lincoln :
"To understand It thoroughly we shall
have to make certain explanations. One fine
evening in the monthro OF April, IN the year OF
our LORD, one thousand eight hundred and

TAXING MISEs.-Under the new reyc-

decision Of the Supreme Court, all
mines are taxable. As this kind OF
property has been heretofore exempt
from taxation, as a matter Of course the
Assessors will be compelled to hear a
great deal Of grumbling. But as all
good citizens cheerfully acquiesce in the
laws, we appreheud u Assessors will
DO able I o Withstand the growliugs o. a

on mining property should be made with
care and consideration, and We have no
doubt all such officers will be as liberal
as possible under the law. The Assess

ing all over the country, and promising

the present monopolizing lines: A COM
pany with ten millions of capital, to be
called the National Telegraph Company,
has been organized in New York, with
George B. Senter, as President Ed
ward W. Serrell, Engineer ; and Ben
Holiday, Robert Squires, George B.
Walter, Frederick Prentice and others

public on just principles and at reasona-
BILE rates. They believe they will not
have to call in more than twenty-five,
or at most t~hirty.fve per cen, Of the
par of the stock ; yet they can very soon
pay liberal dividends on the full amount.
The success Of the company cannot be

Civil Rights IN KgNTUcKY-A MUIR
DgRER Convicted on ruE TESTIMONY OF
CoLoRED WITSEssEs.-The following in
teresting case was decided in the United
States Court at Louisville, on Thursday,
Judge Ballard presiding. We quote the
report to the Courier: -
United States vs. William Bell, in-
dicted for the murder of Tony Cundif,
a man of color, in the county Of Davies,
in the Fall Of 1866. The Judge proceed
ed to charge the jury that the accused
was indicted for murder uuder the stat
ute of Kentucky ; that they must try
this case as all cases Of murder are
tried that it was pending in this Court
because Of the Act Of Congress common
" known as the "Ciyil Rights BILL
because the State Of kentucky had re-
fused to allow the negro to testify
against a white person in any case
whatever.
He told the jury that this was the only
solitary State in the Union in which the
negro was refused to testify in the
Courts Of justice. Ho sud that they
are by no means bound to believe the
statements Of the two colorcd witnesses
who testified on behalf Of the prosecu-
ton !; that they should judge Of their
evidence just rs they judge the evil
dencs of white persons ; that they must
be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt
of the guilt Of the accused that the
burden is on the United States to cstab-
li,h the guilt of the accused, and not
for the accused to establish his limo.
cence. lie also explained other rules
o%feyidence to the jury, rs to malice, etc.
$ The jury then retired to consider on
their verdict. Having been in dcliber.
alton about half an hour. they returned
into Court q verdict of guilty. We I'M
derstand that the counsel Of the accused
will take. an appeal to the Supreme
Court Of the United States, for the pur-
pose of testing the constitutionality Of
the Act Of Congress generally known Ms
the Civil Rights Bill.

KING MIDAS, WHOSE Touch TURNED
EVERYTHING INTO GoLD.-lt is related of
Midas, the mythical King OF Phyrgia,
that he was so fortunate rs to confer a
great favor on the god Bacchus, and
that the latter, in order to manifest his
gratitude, told Midas that he would
grant any favor which he should ask OF
him. The great vice Of Midas was greed,
and he implored tho god that everything
touched by him should be transformed
into gold. This modest request was
granted, and tho Phyrgian King, like
some of our worshippers Of the golden
calf, saw the realization Of his brightest
dreams. His touch was magical ; it
transformed everything into gold ; but
his divine majesty, in the midst of NIL
his wealth, experienced the same neces-
siti es of other mortals he presently
became hungry, but the moment he
touched his food it was transformed
into goldI Hero was q dilemma which
he had not anticipated in his lust for
gold he had forgotten the most ordinary
dictates Of prudence and had forfeited
his own existence-for starvation threat
ened him-he could not eat gold. To
M;dus was then presented the aiterna-
tive of death or the loss Of power. lie
preferred life !; and agaiu sought the
god, and was solicitous that he should
recall his decree as he was ut first that
tho gold should grant it.
Midas has his modern prototypes (;
they flourish hero and die, and "dim
monument" marks their remains ; no
tear bedews them ; n pleasant memo
ries cluster round them. The verdict
Of mankind for them is oblivion. Ava
rice, when II bias obtained u Judgment
in the heart sways with a regal sceptre;
it banishes faith, hope and charity.
The first enemy OF man before INSTALL,
it has pursued him through eighteen
succeeding centuries with II persistence
that never dies tempting him with the

ating forever tho memory Of his iirst
sad error.-Oreoou Unio1isf.
