HOME AGAIN.-Supervisor John McCan-
dless, of Coal Valley, has returned from his
Tennessee trip and gives a sad account of
the poverty and suffering in that state. He
says the newspaper accounts are not exag-
gerated, and that the oppressive cotton tax
has deprived the people generally of the
means of support. They can only live by
mortgaging the next crop.
Mr.. Elijah Carter, who has also been
south, lin Mississippi) and recently returned,
tells the same story.
P. l.. Cable, Esq. who has been south for
some weeks, arrived home this monday
morning, and his account of the suffering
and absolute restitution of the people of the
south, both white and black, is very sad
one. He says the newsper accounts do not
tell half the suffering and poverty of the
people.
The policy pursued by radical congress
towards a repentant, submissive and impov.
crushed people is shameful disgrace to
any civilized nation. ..f-t-

The girls parents were wealthy, but she
resolved to leave them and 90 with Niles
They left the State separately, he few
hours in advance Niles went to Toledo,
then returned to Fremont, where the girl
met him, and both went to Toledo. Niles
secured work in manufacturing estab-
lishment at Toledo, the girl pcddled Or
anges and cigars She was so fearful Of
pursuit by her father that at Fremont che
assumed male attire and this she wore
constantly for two years. AS the couple
were walking in the streets Of Toledo one
evening, a policeman overheard their
conversation, discovered the sex of the
disguised girl and che was arrested. Se-
curing her release by doupine her proper
apparel, the two went to Nashville. the

POLITICAL hssAssINATIoNs--The past
few years hav been sipgnlarly prolific in
attempted assassinations of public persons
aud most of the leading rulers and pub
men Of Europe can look back upon at
least one attempt made for violently end
lug their lives. Tho latest persona gcs
upon which such an attempt has been
made arc the King and Queen of Portu.
gal, but the royal pair were fortunate in
escaping without any serious injury.
There have recently been some troubles in
Portugal, in regard to the levying and
collecting of taxes that have been regard
ed by the people as excessive, aud it is
most probable tn 1t it was some one smart,
ing under the burden Of taxes who tried
to deprive Portugal of her rulers. There
was few months ago SO much feeling
throughout tie country in regard to the
taxes, that the Ministry resigned, but a
new one was immediately formed, hold
ing the same views in regard to the expe-
diepcy of continuing the taxes as had
been entertained by the old one. Since
that time we have not been informed of
the state of public feeling until the cable
brought news of the attempted asssssna-
tion, and if the motive that prompted the
assassin was desire to secure an abate.
ment of taxes. he must have been poor
political economists to 90 that way to
work. The King Of Portugal has been all
along regarded as favorally disposed to.
ward liberal policy. and the Queen is a
daughter Of King Victor Emanuel Of Italy.
