Money was easy in New York on Satur-
day at 5@7 per cent on call, and late in
the day transactions were made at Acc
per cent. TO secure interest over Sunday.
The New York bank statement can not
be called favorable, but on Analysing it
there appears no reason to apprehend
closer money market from its influence,
as the reduction in deposits is due to the
withdrawal of coin. while over two mil
lions of loans have been paid off. The

35 per cent. of demand liabilities is $l6,-

About Taxes.

GENTLEMEN Il want some advice and
Information. Here is 1.-The case. A friend
of mine desired me to pay his taxes for the
year 1865. Early in December called at
the Office of the Tax Collector, but failed.,Go
see that gentleman. Twice again Called,
with similar result. Finally, on the Goth
of January, found him, and learned that
be had been taxed with only one lot, instead
Of tl0o. Desiring to act honestly, told him
Of the mistake, and he Informed me that l
had better see the County Commissioners
and have the mistake rectifed. Previous
to this | had twice called at the Office of
the Railroad Tax Collector, in the Court
House once found a negro there who
said the collector would be there the next
day, and the next day nobody was there.
Finally, discovered that his books we're
the same ss other fellows; 80 l vent be-
fore the Honorable Commissioners, who
kindly ordered the correction TO be made.
At the time appointed / procured an
order from the clerk, and s!raightway went
to "psy up" but failed. They were not
satisfied with receiving double the amount
they had charged my friend with, but also
ten per cent. penalty, and constable's fees
also. No constable has ever called upon
the premises for the money, nor has any
person applied to me or any one else, that
know of, either for State or railroad tax.
Now for the question: As have to pay
the penalty and the constable's fees, would
it add TO the expense if / should refer the
constable TO the owner of the property,
who is now in Missouri Secondly, q
friend in Memphis desired me to pay his
taxes; as none appear against him on the
books, am !, under the circumstances above
related, morally or legally bound to see
the mistake rectifed? Al answer will
oblige others of your readers as we'll as

The Hon. and Rev. Dr..
Bayne, Of Norfolk, is, we sup
pose, to be considered the head
of the negro race in Virginia.
We so conclude from the fact
that he was selected to preside
overtheir convention in this city
last week. Yet this honored,
trusted and representative man
is denounced by the Wells and
Plat organ in Petersburg as
"a common liar. This scam
slanguageis held towards
him for no other reason, that
we can see, than that he has
the manliness and self-respect
to think himself a suitable per-
son for a seat in Congress. De-
nunciation of Bayne for this
cause is an insult to his race
which they should have the
pride to resent.-Whig. 4a

Romance of the frevasse.

A romance Of the Chicot Noir
crevasse is told in the New Or
leans papers. The belle of a
neighboring country-seat on the
banks Of the river was assidu-
ously courted by two eligible
young men, to one OF whom she
gave her heart, but to the 9TH
er her parents insisted upon
giving her hand. She vainly
demonstrated; but the day was
fixed, the party assembled, and
the unfortunate girl, in a be-
wildered and half4unconscious
state, compelled to stand up
for the ceremony. just as the
clergyman approached thatpart
of the services which required
her assent, there came a roar
and a crash. The river had
burst it's banks close to the
house. The guests fed in ter
ror, the bride tainted before she
had said Il will, and the re-
jected sutton, rushing in, carried
her off, and before night had
her safely married. The other,
who had promised on his part
to love and cherish, without re-
ceiving the reciprocal pledge,
thinks of. prosecution. -6ss

HE GDLDE N HOUSE OF
NERO. elisa

On that part of the ruins of
Imperial Rome lying between
the Palatine and the Esquiline
Hills-a space which was more
than a mile in breadth-Nero
erected his Golden House. as
he called the new palace in
which he fixed his abode. The
vastness of extent, and the
varied magnifcence of this i'm
perial residence, and its orna-
mental grounds almost surpass
belief; and if the details that
have come down to us respect
ing it were not too well au-
thenticated to admit Of doubt,
they might be regarded as ia
bilious. Within its incloslre
were comprised spacious fields,
groves, orchards and vineyards;
artificial lakes, hills, and dense
woods, after the manner of a
solitude of wilderness, The
palace itself consisted of mag
nificent buildings raised on the
shores of the lake. 4 The vari-
Gus wings were united by gall
leries each a mile in length.
The house or immediate dwell
ling of the emperor was decora-
ted in a style of excessive gor-
geousness. 1t was rooted en-
tirely with golden tiles, and
with the7same precious metal
the marble sheathing of the
walls was also profusely deck
ed, being at the same time en-
bellished with ornaments Of
mother-o -pearl--in those times
valued more highly than gold
and with a profusion Of pre-
cious stones. The ceilings and
woodwork were inlaid with
ivory and gold, and the roof Of
the grand banqueting was
constructed to resemble the fir
mament. 1t was contrived to
have a rotary motion, SO as to
initiate the heavenly bodies.
The vaulted ceiling of ivory
opened and let in ON the guests
profusion of flowers, and gol-
den pipes sprayed over them
the most delicate perfumes.

s.91 GAINESVILLE,
e KING WILLIAM Co., Va. !,
Nav 29th. 1869.

Last Monday court-day-no
court, however, the Conserva7
| tives held a meeting at the
courthouse for the purpose Of
preparing for an active cam !
paign against the destructives
Of the Wells's type. Major B /.
B. Douglass addressed the
meeting in a speech of great
power and eloquence. Dur
ing the course of his argument
Major Douglass had occasion to
pay his respects to recent ha-
rangue made by the gentleman
from Michigan at West Point !
! Our only regret was that Wells
was not present; for had he
been we fell confident that he
would have left us, convinced
that he was our worst enemy,
and, if it is possible to bring
about such a contamination, !
converted from the error Of his
ways.
On the last registration the
negroes out numbered us some
two hundred or more, but we
have every confidence Of not
only being able to break down.
this majority, but Of even get
ting, on a new registration,
what Mr.. Bolts would call a
clean working majority. We
are organizing for the fray
Already our recruits are being
brought into camps Of instruc-
ton; our stragglers and sore
footed men-and you know
they generally outnumber tho
force actually in action-are
being collected together, and
you may set it down as a fact
that they will not be permitted
to get out Of line again. Our
deserters-th there are only one
or two-the enemy is welcome
to. The white men of King
William are a unit for Walker
and the expurgated constitu-
tion-not that we love the
past less, but that we love the
future interests of Virginia
more. F%

A story has been going the
round of the papers Of Admiral
Farragut having met in Spain
proud hidalgo and an ances-
tor of his family. 2 The truth of
the matter is, that while at
Port Mahon a lad Of the name
of Farragut was introduced to
the Admiral, who very hand
somely provided for his educa-

Farragut family pointing to a

An Irreverent2 Bug.

At one Of our fashionable
churches on Sunday night a
bug, a little smaller than a
bird, dropped in, and, after
warming himself over twenty
or thirty Of the gas-burners,
took a seat on the edge Of the
gallery to cool. While ienga-
ged in tanning himself and look
ing around from his elevated
roost for more business, he
spied the shining bald pates OF
the more venerable members.
This was evidently the fun he
had been looking for, and drop
ping from his position, COM
menced sailing from head to
head, tapping each with the
gentleness of a brickbat, and
causing the widest skirmish-
ing on the part of the defence
less victims. One old ,gen-
tleman, upon getting his tap,
evidently thought the gallery
had fallen in, and commenced
calculating his life insurance.
The wretched bug presently
sailed for the gallery, and in a
few moments a hysterical
movement on the organ show
ed that he had Sgone for the
organist and got him. This,
as far as heard from, was his
last victim, as the services
presently closed. Dispatch.
