THE Dubuque Times administers
a deserved rebuke to the Bloomfield
Republican for advising its readers
to rotten-egg Henry Clay Dean, be-
cause of his offers to act as counsel
to parties wishing to evade the pay
ment of tax voted to the Burling-
ton & South Western r. r. The
Times AYERS that while Henry Clay
Dean is disreputable in character
and filthy in person and habits, he
is not so disreputable and beneath
contempt as the man who, in this
enlightened age, attempts to COM
bat any mans opinions upon public
policy, or upon political, religious,
or other questions, by pelting his
person with rotten eggs, and the
Times is right.

Attorney General O'Connor thus
answers the question of a Mt. Pleas
ant assessor whether or not green
backs are taxable:
"The decision of which YOU
speak is Bank VS.. Supervisors, 9th

sion, 'grecnbacks' arc not taxable
under State law. That's the lao.
l don't agree with it; but l expect
that neither Uncle Sam nor his Su-

opinion, so you must follow the de-
cision in Wall. Yours truly,

Tho theory that the virus OF diseases can
be safely counteractea BY doses Of poison,
is ia se and da gerous. Within the last
twenty >fve years, not less than . score Of
virulent poisons have been added to the
repository Of the medical profession. They
are given in small doses, otherwise they
would destroy life immediately: but even
in minute quantities, they produce. ulti-
masely, very disastrous effects. Its un-
wise and nnphlosophicai to employ, as
remedies, powerful and insilious drugs,

High Taxes in England.

The Sigourny News publishes a

Those Revenue Retormers, who are
anxious to engratt on American In

ing extract from the letter referred
to-:
Dorchester il the county seat OF
Dorset. and contains about 1000 in-
habltants. 1t has an ancient appear
ance, and does not grow much. Some
OF the houses are very old and have
thatcl.ea roots. Dorset is not a rich
county in soil, and therefore agrcat
portion Of the land is devoted to
glazing. Sheep and cattle are the
principle stock kept, and prices are
very nigh. Good beet is worth IL
shiiIinys or 1854 cts. tor 20 lbs by
the bullock, aud the lest sheep are
worth 60 to 81 shilIlngs each, Or
over SIS. Butter is worth So to 40
cents 10. The poorer people do not
yet much animal TODD. Wages are
very low here. Men on farms &c,
IS TO LIS per week, and women As to
Is, without board or lodging. This
implies very poor food. clothes and
houses. l have never been in any
place where the agricultural laborers
were SO poorly clad as they are in
Dorse,shire. This is owing partly
to over population, and 70 land mo-
nopoly. The land is nearly all own
ed by few wealthy people, and they
grind their tenants 10 the utmost de-
dree. The farmer has TO pay from
81 to s. per acre yea.ly for his land,
and to pay poor rates and church
rates besides, which are heavy tax
Some small parishes have to pay to
the church alone more than 81 tor
every inhabitant in the parish. The
,Duchy of Cornwall has many thous.
ands of acres in this rounty, The rev
enue OF which goes to the Prince oil
Wales. He received last year f62,
STA (s3l0,OOO) net revenue from his
lands, and E+U:O00 out OF the Con.
.solidated Fund. Many Americans
complain OF high taxes. but we arc
not taxed so heavily as the people OF
Eng and, and we can more easily pay
our taxes. The Imperial Govern.
ment raises about $35U, 100000 per
j ear, the poor rates are 45,OOO,OOO
