A ROMANCE FROM REAL LIPE.-Ch Charles
Smith, who sumo weeks since got in
with freight conductor. rode in the
caboose with him from GAINESVILLE and
stole his watch, was arrested on Thurs.
day last, Mt Columbus, Ohio, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. and turns out to be
a girl named Goldsborough.. Years ago,
she was thief in Columbus. Two
years after leaving. she returned in boys
clothes, got employment in a saloon,
slept with the proprietor for three
months without discovery Of her: sex,
then stole his money and left. Since
then, she has been bar-keeper and
driver on tho canal, and when arrested,
had love letter with y lockHof hair in
her pocket, showing that she had won
the affections of an arsless damsel il
Cleveland, and engaged to marry her.
The watch was pawned in Cincinnati, in
the name of the conductor from whom
it was stolen. )

The Tax Levy.

There, was conaiderablea skirmishing,
yesterday. in the House Of Representa-
tives, on the bill authorizing the Comp
trellsr- General and County Commits
siohers to levy a tax OF fifteen mile.
The question Was again on postpone
ment until the Comptroller should make
his report. Many members seemed to
regard this as of, uncertain date, and
were anxious to have the bill passed at
once. It was nrgued plausibly, that
enough was known; to justify the tax of
five mills to cover deficiencies. What
ever they are, they cannot be less than
81, 100000. and five mills would only
give about $780, 600. Others were anx-
ious to have the report and all the facts
necessary to discreet Legislation before
them before they took final action. A
strong apprehension exists in the minds
of many that the money, now in the
pockets of the people. the proceeds of
their cotton crop, will be spent, unless
collected without delay. They wish to
strike while the iron is hot-to make sure
that the bird in hand does not get away.
1t came out, in the course of discus
sion, that the deficiencies reported by
the Ways and Means Committee, and
repeated in the message OF the Governor,
which was sent to the General Assembly
yesterday, and appears in our oolamns
to-day, arise from the fact that the State
Treasurer has paid with the moneys in
the Treasury claims which ante-dated
those of the last year. Receiving from
taxes and other sources 81, 900, 763. 36,
ha. has paid out 81 .634. 1886. 81. The ex-
cess of 100000 of outlay over income
was derived, it appears, or is supposed,
from the hypothecation OF bonds. These
facts were disclosed by Mr.. Cochran,
member from Anderson. There are old
as weil as recent asaeiaHcies, it seems.
and our lovely Treasurer just quietly
ignored the mandate of the Legislature
in it's appropriations for specific objects.
and applied them without authority to
the satisfaction of old claims. In oil
probability, this unusual aud unheard- OF
proceeding was due to the interest he
and his ring had in them.

The RECAICITRANT REPUpLIUASs.-
From q Democratic source it is learned
that the following are enumerated as the
recusant Republicans: Sumner, Trum-
bull, Tipton, Schurz. Fenton, Rice, of
Arkansas, and Hamilton, of Texas. The
latter ID regarded as an accession to the
Democratic ranks. The Democrats are
seventeen in number, and the "Assist-
ant Democrats" as the Liberal Republi-
cans are called, are expected to share tue
hQnors of twenty-eight standing commit
tees, bnt the places must be distributed
by the Democrats, or they will not be
recognized at all. The Democrats CON-
plain that they have but one committee
room, and ask for two, favor which
will probably be granted.

How JUDGE DAVIS BECAME RICH,
Judge Davis, of Illinois, is rich
man. I he public may not know how
he became wealthy. About thirty
FIVE years ago, when Judge Davis
was practicing lawyer in the West,
he was employed by Connecticut
man to collect $500. Davis Went
to the place where the debtor lived,
and found him to be rich in landed
possessions, but without a spare dol
lar in money. He finally settled the
bill by giving deed for the tract Of
land-a fiat, moist and undesirable
piece of land in appearance, lying
close by a sheet of water, and con-
sistiug perhaps Of sixty acres. Da-
Wis subsequently met his Connect
cut client in 81. Louis, when the lat
ter (who seems not to have possess
ed the usual Connecticut shrewd-
ness) fell to and gave him a "regu
lar blowing up for taking the land
rather than insisting upon the $500
in cash: he didn't want any Of your
western land. and lac told Davis that
having accepted it in payment for
the debt, he had better keep it him
self, and pay over the money out of
bis own pocket To this Davis
agreed. Stepping into a friends
place of business he borrowed $500,
toak the Connecticut mans receipt
tor the land, and held the land for
rise. That piece Of land now forms
part of one of the suburbs of Chica-
90. Judge Davis has sold two or
three hundred thousand dollars worth
of it and has million dollars worth
of it left. Ii is striking example
of what the possession Of western
property has done for its holders
and as the story has never before
been printed, we thought it would
be interesting enough to publish.
