I'VE call upon the Legislature to either
repeal or amend the dog tax law. As it now
stands it is disgrace to our statute books
and libel upon our free institutions it is
also in direct violation of that clause of our
State Constitution which declares that "tax-
alton shall be equal )" it is a gross. outra-
geous libel upon the female sex. Dogs are
taxed as nuisance. not according to value,
and as the law now stands female canine
is regarded as three times as great nuis-
ance as a male. The sterner sex are taxed
one dollar per head. while the "weaker ves-
sels'' have to pay three dollars. This dis
tinction of the chances of birth is illegal.
unfair. unjust and tyranical-at war with
the spirit of republican institutions and an
infringement of the great national Bill Of
Rights. Dogs are dogs. let them be male or
female. poodle or hound, bob-tailed or with
unlimited caudle appendages. and should be
treated impartially. Take some action in
the matter, gentlemen. or the howls of a
prosecuted race will haunt you forever.

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.-The most deplora-
BILE circumstance connected with the escape
of the prisoners from Jail, occurred at Irish
town, Amador county, on Tuesday evening
last, resulting in the instantaneous death Of
brother of Brian Fallon, one of the escapes
The particulars, as related to us, are as fol-
lows: About o'clock Tuesday afternoon
an Italian who was engaged in hunting cattle
near Irishtown, was accosted by stranger,
who inquired the way to the house of man
named Kelly, who resided in the vicinity.
The required information was given him. As
Kelly is known to be friend of Fallon's
and as the negro was caught in that locality
and the stranger strongly resembled the
description given of Fallon, the Italian en-
tertained suspicious that he had seen the
murderer. and kept a close watch upon his
movements. The stranger entered house
occupied by one Carroll. The Italian in
formed man by the name of Boyd and an
other Italian of what he had seen, and the
three, armed with shot guns, repaired to
Carroll's house and knocked for admittance.
Their efforts met with no response. While
endeavoring to arouse the inmates. Kelley,
who resided near, came along and inquired
"what they wanted :" They told him they
"had reason to believe that Fallon was IN
the house and they wanted him." Some
hard words ensued between the parties.
Kelly finally volunteered to go in and see if
Fallon was in the house. Shortly afterwards
he came out, accompanied by Carroll and
the stranger, all armed with six-shooters.
The man mistaken for Fallon asked BOYD
"what he wanted:" The reply was "Fal-
lon." The stranger remarked: "That is my
name; now what are you going to do abou,
;" at the. same time making motion as il
to draw his We pom. Boyd fired upon him.
killing him instantly. The three men gave
themselves up and are now in Jail at Jackson
awaiting an examination. The unfortunate
Fallon vino escaped, and he should have SO
stated. On the contrary, however, he ap-
peared anxious that Boyd should believe
him to be the man he sought. If the cir
cumstances were correctly stated to US, we
do not see how blame can be attached to
Boyd. While the result is to be deplored,
the causes which led to it should be taken
into consideration.

negro slept in the cabin of the Chinaman who
ferried them across; Fallon refused to go
into the house and slept in woodshed near
by. The negro had his irons cut off and
tried to induce Fallon to go to the house and
have his removed, but to no purpose. In
the morning they took the trail towards
Clinton. About dusk, when near an 1ta ian
ranch, Fallon persuaded the negro to go and
try to steal an ak to cut his irons off with.
and while skulking around for that purpose
he was caught. Fallon was only about
three hundred yards distant at the time, and
probably witnessed the capture. Fallon is
reported to be lame from a fall which he
received shortly after leaving jail, and CON-
pletely worn out. His capture is merely a
question of time.

four were carried off in the drifting vessel
and disappeared. The captain and Mr..
