Is the Head Conscious After II is
Cut Oh.

Experiments recently made in Paris
have proved pretty clearly the fallacy of
the idea put forth at the time of Tropp-
mans execution by some French physi.
clans, that a head severed from the body
retains life for several hours. The head
of culprit guillotined since the Tropp
mann affair, was delivered to the expert
mentcrs five minutes after the execution.
The face was then bloodless, of a pale
and uniform hue; the lower jaw had fall
len, and the, mouth was gaping. The
features, which were immorahle, bore an
expression Of stupor, but not of pain
Tile eyes were open, fixed, looking
straight before them; the pupils were di-
lated; the cornea had already commenc-
cd to lose its luster and Transparency
Some sawdust still stuck, here and there
to the face, bat there was no vestige OF
any either on the inner surface of the
lips or on the tongue. The opening OF
the ear was then carefully cleansed, and
the expcrimcnters, applying their lips as
closely as possible to the orifice, called
.odt three times, in loud voice, the
name of the criminal. Not feature
moved there was no muscular move
ment either of the eye or on the face
A piece of lint, saturated with ammonia
was next placed cnder the nostrils; there
was no contraction of the al@nor of the
face. The conjunctiva of each eye was
deeply and several times sdccessively
cautcrizcd with nitrate Of silver; the
light of candle was brought close to
the cornca, and yet no contraction was
observed either in the eyelids, cyeball,o ,ol
pupils, 9,

Taxation Of Bonds and other
Property.

There are 81, 900, ,000,0 900 of real and
personal property listed upon the tax
duplicate of the State of Ohio. That
$1,000, 100000 pays all the taxes for the
State and local governments, which
amount to S20,O00,000 annually. had.
dition, it pays its income and all its Fed
eral taxes. There are $4,000, 600, 600
invested in United States bonds. What
does that pay2 According to the Ohio
rate, it should be s45, ,000,0 year.
But it pays nothing, When motion
was made the other day, in the House
of Representatives, to tax them $7,U00,-
900 year, it was voted down. If it
had carried it would only have been one
sixth as much as is paid by other spe-
cies of property. But even this was not
sanctioned by what are humorously ter
med the peoples representatives, who
are, in fact, nothing but the. representa-
tiyes of the bondholding and National
banking interests. The. question is, are
the people in favor of this discrimina-
ton !? It is not pretended that there are
any legal obstacles in the way. Con-
gress has the right to tax the bonds, if
It will only exercise it. Why should it
not do it2 Why should not farmer
who has bonds be taxed as much as the
farmer who has lands /? Will any one
answer? 1t is done in Great Britain
and other European countries, and is in
accordance with justice and common
sense-Cin. Eng. - j.,,

Whlltcmore a Confessed Thief:

Dunn, the Radical candidate over
whom Whittemore was reelected to
Congress last Thursday, did not conGne
himself during the canvass to facts with
regard to the cadctship business. he
freely exhibited to voters in the district
a letter from Mr.. S, p. Sheppard, of the
firm Of Sheppard & Co., dry goods mer.
chants, Boston, of which the following
is the most suggestive portion ~
Il have had "a long talk with, w. f.
Shaw, the man from whom .Whittemore
stole money. He was in Mr.. Shaw's
employ, and took the money at various
times in stock, which he sold His pee
lulations extended over quite space of
time, and amounted in the aggregate to
some $1,000 This amount was ascer-
'tained, but whether more was taken is
not known. Shaw has writing of
sWhittemore acknowledging the theft,
and promising to restore the amount as
soon as he can. Up to this time he has
not paid any thing. Shaw'is now quite
friendly to Whittemore, and you will see
1T is for his interest to have him back in
Congress. y sh @ la
The reader will see that Shaw's desire
is to have Whlttemore ssback in Con-
gress," SO that he can make money aud
pay back the $4,000, is rather hard on
Congress. Perhaps Whittemore had
already entered upon his duty to Shaw
when he sold the cadetshib. si,5 .5

American Co mmerce.

The present tariff and all the measu-
res of financial character proposed by
the party in power very effectively pre-
vent commerce, and,of course,t the build
ing of ships to carry it on. Maine is
the great ship building State of the
Union. Notwithstanding that, it has
adhered most pertinaciously to the Re-
publican organization by a majority of
tens of thousands. Lately one of its
Representatives, Mr.. Lynch, introduced
a bill in the House of Representatives
which was entitled, "For the revival of
American commerce" It was snubbed
by Mr.. Schenck, the Chairman Of the
Committee of Ways and Means, and
defeated by large majority, to the
great annoyance of the Maine member
We have no sympathy or commiseration
for him or his constituents. As long as
they adhere to the protective tariff anti
ship-bullding party they can not expect
to do any thing to arrest the decline of
American commerce. s

The Public Debt.

In 1865 there were no less than S765
000,000 bearing currency interest. That
has been reduced to the small figure of
S59,000,000. Has this $700,000,000
been paid? No! It has simply been
transferred from an interest in currency
to an interest ir gold. The whole of
our debt, with this trifling excephon,and
the $500, 100000 of legal -tenders,is now
on a gold bearing interest basis.
This is not all During the whole
time from eighty to a hundred millions
of dollars in gold have been kept idle
in the Treasury, when it could have ta
ken up bonds and saved in FIVE years at
least $25, 100000 in interest. This has
all been thrown away. 1t is now pro-
posed to pay the whole Of the debt, of
which but $3.50, 100000 were promised
at par in gold, all in gold. This would
be gratuity to the hondholders OF
something like thousand millions of
dollars more than they loaned us, and
more than we agreed to pay. This
measure is destined to be consummated
at an early day. How trivial under
these circumstances is their pretended
reduction of 49,, 100000 since March,
1870, in the principal Of the debt. 1t is
a mere drop in the bucket of the ocean
Of extravaganza which has been opened

H-A Washington correspondent says !:
The Wood Howard investigation will be
resumed .on Tuesday next. On Satur-
day it was shown that about S130,000
had been expended for rations in the
State of orida,mhich tue agents oflthe
Bureau had sold, putting the proceeds
in their own pockets. On Friday it was
proved that General Howard had loaned
to the American Missionary Society
s240,0O0 without any authority by law.
South Carolina affairs are next to be in
vestigated, whereit is said that between
three and four hundred thousand dollars
of the Bureau funds were expended to
secure the election of the present Gov
ernor of the State, who was then Assis-
tant Commissioners of the Bureau.

r. n. B1OOre's DecIinatiOn and his
Late Votes In Congress.

Late vOteS III COnSfess.
The. Revenue Assessor Of this District,
and two others, the Postmaster at Mari
eta heiag one, sent note to +. IL.
MooRE, in May, requesting his consent
to denomination to Congress. (
In his reply Mr.. Moons says his ''bu-
siness engagement" viii not permit him
to accept denomination.
We very strongly suspect that the
.littIe onpleasantnessp in Athens county,
coupled with the fac! that Mr.. MooRE
has voted steadily with the tariff in
Auences in Congress, had more to do
with causing him to decline man his
business engagements" Here are a
few of his votes recorded in Congress
on the Sd day of June:
On Mr.. Cox's amendment to reduce
the income tax TO 8 per cent, Mr.. MOORE
voted. No. M @
On Mr.. McCARrHY's amendment to
strike out all sections relative to income
tax, he voted, No
On Mr. BEcK's amendment to tax the

what Does II Meant

The following is from the Harrisburg
Topic, the paper lately started by DIR.
Gibon, late Private Secretary to GOV,
Geary:
NATIONAL Honor What is it
Five hundred thousand men gave their
lives to save sthe best government"
Five hundred thou sand widows were
made by the sacrifice.
Double the number Of orphans were
added to the list.
Five hundred thousand cripples gave
their legs, arms and constitutions.
To balance this
Five hundred thousand money sha-
vers gave their money and took receipts
in the shape of bonds.
If nationa.. honor requires that these
snlveling, crying, whining money croak-
.ers, who gave their money to ''save their
abacon,' shall have their money returned
to them, then national honor requires
that the five hundred thousand lives
sacrificed by the arrant plundering of
Grant & Co, should be restored.
National honor requires that the wid-
sows, and the orphans, and the manned,
shall have their losses restored.
Until this is done, those who gave
merely money should hold their peace,

Horrible Punishment.

A few years ago a gentleman while
visiting the State Prison in Trenton, N.
j., was shown young and healthy wo-
man with her hands tied up over her
head in a standing position. She was
left in that way FOR forty eight hours,
without-tood OF any attention whatever; !;
left that way regardless of deeency or
pity, and only for the crime of halloo-
ing at a male prisoner passing by her
cell. She was wrctched wanton, full
of life and vigor and scon of her tor
mentors; hut she was tanned by this
horrible punishment. The gentleman
told me the woman's keeper said, IF she
don't submit D, tomorrow, we'll bring
heridown by swelling her." He asked
what swelling her meant, and was told
it,consistcd in tying her wrists until the
blood gathered ii the vessels almost to
bursting, and then the torture would
break her wild spirit.

The Democratic Platform.

The platform adopted by the late Dem
ocratic State Convention has now under
gone the scrutiny of the Democratic
press throughout the Union; and from
all points, East, West, North and South,
we see from the Democracy only wcfds
of ardent commendation.
This is highly gratifying to every one
who desires the prosperity Of the party,
1t indicates plainly that the dissensions
which for several years have prevailed
with regard to two or three measures are
thoroughly healed
The party is now united. harmonious
anu seems filled with the old zeal which
used to carry US to victory. The only
dissenters anywhere are little squad OF
Pennsylvania protectionists, and for the
life OF us VIC cannot see why they are in
the party atsall, unless it is to cnfeeblc
the party on the tariff question.
The reader has not failed to observe,
in perusins the platform, that much of
the old, grainless straw, which old fogies
have kept us thresling at for years, has
been put aside, and that after general
enunciation of the principles of the party
tue remainder is made up of live issues
clearly expressed.
The people will wait with some anx-
iety to see how the Radical Convention
will meet the issues thus squarely pre-
sentetl Itseems to us chat il tie Radical
Convention acquiesces in many Of the
resolutions of the platform, by failing to
offer resolutions traversirg them, it may
fairly DC regarded as abandoning not
only their Congress, but their. admins
tration. If on the other hand they make
ageneral issue, denying alLtlle doctrines
of our platform, they must prepare for
certainsde
