EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
Tallahassee, Fla, !
Aug. II, 1873.

Hon. Columbus Dre1o, C0n1pn'0fter:
SIR: Upon making an estimate
of the value of the taxable property
of the State, based upon the assess
ments already returned to your
Office, and also an estimate OF the
current expenses of the State for the
present year, based upon the war
rants already issued by you for the
first two quarters, there is no doubt
in my mind that levy of taxes at
the rates fixed in the Act Of 1874
will raise much larger amount than
is necessary for the purpose of the
9+4ssss4e4aaAgs sinis1n
no larger tax should be collected
than is necessary to aprovide for rails
ing revenue sufficient to defray the ex'
penses of the State for each fiscal
year, and also a sufficient sum to pay
the principal and interest of the exis'
ting Indebtedness of the State"
You are therefore authorized and
requested to instrucO the Tax Col
lectors to collect only the follow.
ing taxes for the present year:
A tax of five mills on the dollar tc
pay the appropriations for this year.
A tax Of one mill for school pur
poses.
A tax of two mills to pay the in
terest on and for the ultimate REDEEM
ption Of the State bonds of 1873.
A uniform tax of one mill to pay
interest upon and form sinking fund
for the redemption of the bonds O.
1871.
The above rates are sufficient tc
raise the required revenue of this
year, and to provide for the payment
of interest upon the Indebtedness Of
the State, and for the ultimate re-
demption of the principal, and the
people Of the State should be relieved
as soon as practicable from all I'M
necessary burdens.

AS usual with all John Piper's companies
as usual under Jim Wilson's management
as usual when the weather is as capricious as
it is now, it is just our luck to be weatherish,
as we were yesterday. But the beaming star
of dramatic resplendency, still it beamed. 1t
might have scintillated through more pre-
vious and less Grammatical world but why
should we pause Let the CALLED jade vince.
A purer piece of dramatic action than was de-
veloped upon the occasion of s. East Lynne
was never presented to a playgoing public.
AS to the afterpiece, who shall say, with the
author, @ Why did Robinson Crusoe :" And
that S what's the matter. The scenery, the
weather, the company-all splendid. Reserve

The observing optic of this scratcher has
noted base act of gross vandalism. The
Capitol commissioners, at great expense have
made sanded walk well curbed across and
around the plaza and now the Cinnamon and
other residents in the south east end of the
town have made a crosscut over the plot
where the grass ought to be. Why is this
thus! Whittier are we drifting! Board it up
gentlemen. Erect an iron fence and put the
ace of spades on guard Our institutions are

CONSISTENCY y yesterday afternoon, while
the snow was falling thick and fast, we OBJ
served an old Indian saving away at a cord OF
wood in front OF the residence of a well known
citizen This Indian while earning a stale
biscuit by the sweat Of his brow, wore a
heavy overcoat, and thick muffier around
his throat. Suddenly he stopped and seated
himself on a piece Of cord wood that was
thrown across his saw buck, and we noticed
him Juggling away at pair of boots which
were evidently too tight for him and were
hurting his feet Eventually he succeeded in
freeing himself from his tormentors and re-
sumed his work, standing ankle deep in his
bare feet in the snow and slush. 1t is not to
bes imposed that he, after this, shed the over
coat and mutfier oh, no; those articles of
clothing necessary to the speedy accomplish
ment of dividing a cord of wood with a saw
and buck, he reigiously froze to. And this
is the consistency of poor Los civilization.
An AMAZON MELEE-Toward night fall
yesterday, couple of women who fear no
moral laws, came INTO an unIII6nuIy contact
about a little black-and- tan dog, near Edge
combs stable. Blows of a very etieminate
character and language of the masculine order
passed. One of tie women had been worshipping
at the shrine of the Rosy Goddess, and when
her antagonist gave her blow as light as
midsummer zephyr, she staggered and fell
broadside into a stagnant pool of slush, and
there she lay, asking in plaintive voice to be
put in her little bed and let the cruel war
cease. No further blows were exchanged,
but the victor marched off with the black and
tan poodle. To the victor belong the spoils.

A TERRIFIED LOTHARIO.-HE RE.
CEIVES A MISSIVE - FLEES TO
THE WARM SPRINGS.

A few mornings since a young gentleman
prominently known as the Adonis Of a pop
ular establishment in this city, received a
note from friend at the depot stating that 6
lady had arrived on the train who wished to
see him. Now this young lothario is adored
by the ladies, and if we are rightly informed,
particularly by one. He thought twas she,
and he would have rushed in all the ardor of
of youthful devotion to the stopping place Of
the train; but that the note mentioned that
in addition to her beautiful adornments of
jewer- she displayed among her costly tim
kets, pretty self cooking Whistler. lie is
not stuck after whisters, particularly when
beauty, grace and SIX and a quarter kid are
behind them. He Immediately consulted his
superior, displayed the billet doux and asked
his advice. The superior looked blue, very
blue, and SAID it was bad case, had muir
derous look, and asked him if he had his life
insured and gave him a fatherly lecture
on the improperly of his conduct in placing
himself in a position to be sought in such
summary manner Meanwhile the youth
became excited. Time was passing, He
cried in agony, hold. hold, kind Mentor, lis
not advice want i'll this dire emergency. She
will be down in the bus in few short mo-
ments; oh how the tesnpus fugita What shall

senior saw the situation and went him one
better.

ACCIDENT.

A few days ago a man by the name of
Lewis, who lives at Genoa met with what may
prove very serious accident. He was I'M
hitching pair of mules, when his son, fes-
tive youth of Is summers, set off fire cracker
in close proximity to the tail of the mule.
The animal started at a violent pace, the man
holding on to the bride. He was dragged
quite distance with frightful velocity and
thrown head first against large stone. He
is now lying in very critical condition.

SUNDAY ECHOES.

Sunday morning was bright and clear
Churches were all well attended. Our reg
ular shepherds officiated in their respective
churches This last sentence is for the benefit
of those who didn't go.
Very dark in the evening; walking bad.
Great fall off in attendance; also il collections.
Sunday schools were well attended. We
have the best Sunday school going popula-
ton in the State. Noticed nearly all the
children of St. Peters going straight to the
Methodist They dove-tail, (the Sunday
schools, not the children), one opens as soon
as the other closes. The age is improving
One was as much as we could stand in our
youth.
Many large children go to Sunday school
too; old boys with siIvered locks. Go on
old chaps, you may yet grow up to become
good and useful members Of society.
''The wicked" have not "ceased from
troubling" the better disposed Sunday citi-
zens The ungodIy were working away at
the circulating library at Frisbes corner all
day blockaCling the sidewalks with ropes and
pulieys, swearing at the old hurly house be
cause it would not "swing corners to the
music of the windlass, and attracting the at
tention of the passers by Som the inviting
call of the church going bell. Where viii

pressionless Joss.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A BRAKEMAN KILLED.

A sad accident occurred on the up train
from Reno yesterday afternoon, which cost a
young man his life. As the train was short
distance from the above named place, and
moving at the usual speed young brakeman
named William Snow bent down from the
steps of the cars to examine the trucks under
meath, when his head struck cattle guard on
the side of the track, and fatally fractured
the skull. The young man was brought to
this city for treatment, but nothing could be
done for him, and he expired early last eve
ming The deceased was 30 years of age, and
bore an excellent reputation as to habits and
character

$. PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN CARSON.

As we always believed he would do our
very able and handwriting Congressman,
Hon. Thos Wren, makes haste to keep his
pledges. Among other things he promised to
do was to make an effort to procure an appro-
pration for the erection Of public buildings
here. Yesterday We received from him the
following, which is Il copy Of q bill which, on
the 2lst ultmo was introduced by him in the
House Of Representatives, where it was read
twice, referred to the committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds and ordered to be
printed
BILL.
