The bull clique IN gold have had everything their
own way to-day including the operations Of the
United States Treasury. which accepted bids for
only 81 100000 gold while some S9,500000 were bid
for. The market was steady at 1l5la1155 during all
the dealings of the morning but became strong after
the rejection Of fve-siths Of the Treasury bids and
closed at l15s selling in considerable lots after the
session Of the Board and in violation of its rules,

Opprasslon and Plunder.

The spurious Government which by the illeg-
al orders of drunken Judge and the will of
ULYSSES ). GRANT now assumes authority
over the people of Louisiana in direct defiance
of law, has passed an act to enforce the collec-
ton of taxes in that State whereby the State
officers are given the power to collect all ante
cedent unpaid taxes for the years preceding
the last.
These taxes, the New Orleans PicGyuas es-
Inmates, will amount to 81. .0Oe, 900, which, ad-
ded to the 1000 900 collectable for the year
1872, will make S19 600 900 to be collected by
processes provided In the enforcement act pas
Sed by the KELLo9o Legislature. To this
amount add uncOlleeted taxes IN the city of
New Orleans, say %. .0OO, 900, and the result IS
the enormous sum of $50, 900 600, which, ac-
cOrding to KELLOao's proclamation, is to be
collected by civil or criminal process from the
Impoverished people OF Louisiana on the de-
mand of q sO.called Government which has no
legal existence and no more right to tax the
people of that State than BrOther-ln law Cor
BIN would have to levy tax on the State OF
New Jersey.
This mOnstrous, surpation-chaTaotefl

JUDGE JOHN T. MASON DIES SUDDENLY AT
ELRToN.

JObSE JOhN L. MASON DIES SUDDENLY AT
ELRToX.
"ELKToN, ND, March 20.-Judge John T.
Mason reached here on Monday last. in COM
pany with Henry V. d. Johns, of the BaIti-
more bar, to try an action instituted in Har-
Baltimore.
"The argument before the jury was closed
abOut3 O'Clock Friday afternoon, by Judge
Mason, In a speech of an hour, which was re-
garded by those who did not know him we'll
as one OF great power. Some OF those who
knew him best, however, were aware that at
dmes he was not as clear in his arguments as
they had heard him on former occasions =
Once or twice he was at q loss for word. At
one time when he desired to use the words
speculative and contingent damages" he
was compelled to turn to his colleague after
saying speculative and" and inquire what
was the other word he desired to use and once
or twice his articulation was not altogether
distinct, but nothing was thought Of it at the
time.
"IIe left the courthouse apparently well and
plssed to his room.
= "About four O'Clock hs was summoned to
dinner, and took his seat at the table appar-
antIyswel 1t was noticed few moments
later TINT be had some difhculty in swallowing
his food, Of which he bad not takenmoTe than
two er three mOuthfulls. He arose from the
table, turned his back to 1t, and tried to cough,
glass of water to his mouth, and attempted
unsuccessfuIly to swallow it, lie again arose,
aud walked to the end Of the room, and once
more tried to cough, and again resumed his
seat A moment later he again arose from
the table, went to the front of the hotel, and
then, retracing his footsteps, entered the hall
where he met a small boy whom he patted on
the head and tried to speak to without being
able to make himself understood.
AT this moment the proprietor Of the hote
and others discovered his condition, and tn
Judge succeeded in asking TO be taken to hi
room where. ahef the lapse of ten or fiseeI
minutes, he became entirely unconscious. Ii
the meantime Drs Mitchell, Ellis, lamar, Will
and Kennedy had hastened TO his bed side, an,
every remedy which medical skill could suggss
vas applied for his relief but he continued I
grow worse until about quarter ofseven 2. NJ
when he died. His attack was apoplexy, ac
companisd by partial paralysis Of the lsft sidt
about the very moment that he was stEieke
down, the jury in the case he had been tTyin
returned intolhe court Witha verdist for his clen
for three thousand dollars, aud in common wit
our whole community were shocked to lear
that Judge Mason, With whose many estimabl
Qualities OF head and heart they had been pro
foundly impressed, would probably not live
hear the result Of their labOrs.

Nine Tinea mnrrIe.l.

At the Central Criminal Court, al. London
on March 4, VIM. Morgan, aged forty nine,
described as a lAbOrer, pleaded guilty to
charge OF blgamy The Common Sergeant
said that he saw, by certificate before him,
that the prisoner had been before convicted OF
bigamy, and sentenced 70 four years penal
serVit1de. 10 must have been bad case to
have required such Q sentence. A detective
Olicer informed the Court that. from the in
qulries he had made, he had reason to believe
that the prisoner had married no fewer than
nine different women. He had further ascer-
tained that he never did any work, but lived
upon the resources Of the women whom he
married. .-..-.s
The father of ono OF the prisoners wives
said In reply 70 q question put TO him by the
Deputy Recorder, that the prisoner had not
treated his daughter with actual cruelty; stu
| he aid net behave well, and frequently stald
away from her for days together. he had
also once or twice thrown water over her
The Dephty Recorder said that the conduct
Of the prisoner had been mean and disgrace,
fuI 10 an extreme degree, and ne considered
the case one OF the very worst description
He therefore felt Tito ba his duty 20 sentence
him 10 be kept In penal servitude Tor ten
years. Il II slIklflafe
