OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ENrHusIAsM

EXTRAORDINARY ENTHUSIASM. -
Our very worthy postmaster, on
Wednesday night, being so deeply
euthused By the exercises of the
afternoon, lost all control of his feel
ings when it was announced that the
meeting would adjourn to the street,
and, springing to his feet, cried out
in his peculiarly mellifuous voice
Three cheers for Seymour and
Blairl" Unfortunately, he possessed
nearly the whole stock of enthusiasm
in the room, and in the confusion he
received very faint response.

CHEAP JEwELRY. - We are told
that there are a number of itinerant
venders of cheap jewelry peram bu-
lating the city at the present tune.
They confine their operations chiefly
to tie African race whose ignorance
makes them easy victims to the oily
words of these sharpers.
They sometimes represent them
selves in pressing need of money to
take them to a sick family, and offer to
sacrifice valuable chain or ring
worth intrinsically twenty-five cents
for the mere pittance of s. 90. They
seem to be doing large business.
We would advise our citizens to
buy their jewelry of resident mer-
chants who are responsible and who
are honest.

CRESCENT CITY SPRINGS. = The
crowd at the Springs last night was
quite large, aud all appeared to enjoy
themselves. The grounds were very
tastefully decorated with Chinese
lanterns of variegated colors. and
during the evening Bengal lights,
rockets, and other fireworks were ex-
hibited Several balloons were sent
up, much to the delight OF the visit
ors. The Crescent City Silver Band
furnished some of its best music.
The refreshments stands, under the
management of Superintendent Web
Ter, were well supplied; the bowling
alleys were in good condition, and
nothing calculated to contribute to
the general enjoyment seemed to be
lacking. The Springs will soon be-
come the great place of resort for all
of our people.

HRTFyoUs TAXATION. our

9RrEvoUs TAxATIeN.-The bur
den of DR.. Iorgan's speech Oh
Wednesday night was the oppressive
burdens of taxation. His touching
anneals to the working men would
lead them to suppose that he spoke
from his own experience. But an
examination of the United States
Revenue Office shows that in 1867 he
returned no income, and his only tax
was 81 90 on his fine carriage and
cold watch, and 80 license. In 1868
he reported his income at $75. upon
which he paid a tax Of So 70; to
which is to be added Sc 90 for car
riage and so license. His total tax
paid the United States Government
for two years has been $50 70. Truly
the Doctor speaks from sad expert
ence when he mourns over the awful
burdens of Government taxationl

They were flung into verminous dungeon which
contained about seventy of the very scum and
dregs of Mexican leprous criminals and vagabonds
and after night of horrors two of their number
were ordered to carry out and empty tub con-
tanning the accumulated offal of the preceding
twenty-four hours They naturally refused to obey

his command he cut through the gentlemen clo
thing and brought blood. Fearing that they might
be fogged to death, the gentlemen dismissed theil
scruples and performed the menial task. Then
their four companions were forced to take brooms
and clean the cell and courtyard of the prison. the
degraded and brutal iailors, meantime, heaping
upon them every eplthet of abuse which then
groveling brains could conceive. The prisoners
having been taken before the Alcade, were fined
ten dollars each but this sum they were unable
to pay on the spot, their captors having robbed
them before committing them to the dungeon. Mr.
Urich, our Consul, obtained their release; but he
could get no further satisfaction. Gen. Escobedo,
who was in the city, was appealed to, but he paid
no heed, while the populace, as the prisoners were
walking to the jail, shouted, death to Ameri
cans!" A Mexican gentleman who was promen'
aiding with the Americans was arrested, but was
released at the prison gate. He hastened to the
Governors palace to see Davila; but when he
pressed upon that dgnitary the releaseof the pris
ouers, he was again put under arrest, and held il
the palace until the following morning. The A
merican Consul has sent to Secretary Seward re
port of the indignity."

sending Information to the besiegers. Drawings
of the Notifications were furnished, weak points
noted, and the movements Of troops indicated as
soon as begun, and the fleet notified OF the time
ofarrival and departure Of blockade running ySs-
sells. So cautiously did these emissaries, Of the
enemy conduct their work, that for long imethe
skill Of the most eminent detectives was baMed
in their endeayors to break up the Illicit CORES
pondence These spies were the source Of ex-
treme annoyance to the Commanders in Charles
ton, and the information they were enabled to fur
nish, often thwarted their best matured designs
upon the enemy. As proof Of the completeness
of this conspiracy, it may be remarked, that the
