reflections faites par P.AbeiNe de la
Nouvelle, Orleans ct nous n'avons
rien a ajouter aux observations de
notre excellent confrere qui quot
que democratic, blame severement
Ia conduite de nos l6gislateurs ac-
tuels. Nous allons done sonnet
tire aux yeux de nos lecteurs les
appreciations de cette feuille vrai-
ment patriotique. Voici ce qu'elle
dit a propos du bill dit Mofet Re-
gister ct portant lie No. 334 a la
Chambre: .
Nous avons toujours soutenu
que c'est une erreur Gconomique
que de lever tous les impots sur
une seule categoric de proprietes.
Sclons nous. pour rendre limpot
ltger, il faut lie diviser lie Plus pos
sible en- faisant une r6partition
equitable.
II est incontestable cue cha
que citoyen Sc doive a sa patrie
ct doive Faider scion ses res
sources a soutenir la machine
gouvernementale. Tant. quill a
etc question dune r6partition
equitable ct du Mofret Register
bill, tel quill est applique en- Vir-
ginie, nous avons applaud des
deux mains, car nous savons que
rEtat de lourdes charges a sup.
porter mais il faudrait dune au.
tre part tenir compte de la de-
tresse generale ct ce nest guere
le moment d'augmenter les taxes
ct licences. lie peupIe erie, gare
a Ia vague populaire /; ct quoiqu'on
cherche a dGgaiser le bill sous
forme de take, il men est pas moins
vrai qu'on frappe a mort une
classe sp6ciale de marchandises.
Pourquoi y aurait-il des excmp-
tions ct des marchandises privile-
giees? 81 l'on ose porter la main
sur une certaine specialize, qu'on
impose aussi un certain tribut sur
les marchandises ssches ct groce- /
ries. R;en ne doit desormais ar
ceter nos ]6gislateurs ct quoique
"a decision de la Cour Supreme
les Etats-Unis ait decide cue la
Icence est supplement une take !

Two Noted Grave Rob bcrs.

Our readers will remember the nc
count given in these columns OF tho rob
bing of the grave Of the Hon. Scott
Harrison, in Ohio, last may, the body
being found in the dissccting.room OF
the Ohio Medical College. Public 10.
dignation justly brands any man a. q
scoundrel who will rob the grave Of tho
dead. But there are two noted grave
robbers in the country,so far from being
the subjects Of the peoples wrath, arc
universally lauded for their virtues. Tho
reason is plain. While the former class
steal the dead bodies Of our loved ones
10 submit them TO the dissecting knife,
these only rob the graves to restore tho
living victims TO our hearts and homes.
Their Dames--Dr. Picrce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and Pleasant Purgati,o
Pellets-are household words the world
over. The Golden Medical Discovery
cures consumption, in its early stages,
ard all bronchial, throat and long afec.
tions; Pleasant Purgative Pellets arc
the most valuable laxative and cathartic.
The editor OF the Marshall Qows)
Siafesman says that, after considering
the question all winter, he comes TO the
conclusion every spring that tie circus
is immoral; but then the bill poster
comes along with the big pictures, and
bis mind changes as follows: As we
gaze at the lions, tigers, and monkeys,
and think that nature made all Of them,
we are not 30 sure. And when we look
at the beautiful young lady, with moth
ing on but blue ribbon round her
waist, with one leg pointing 70 ak
o'clock and the other 10 high noon, and
think that nature made her, TOO, just as
she was, except the ribbon, we begin to
lean up TO the circus. But when the
brass band begins TO play and the ele.
plants 20 round, we rush for front
seat 10 get in ahead Of the ministers,
who always wear stove-pipe bats and
won't sit down in front. 's''

A MYsrERY.-About the middle of
July, Philip Falls, resident of Union,
Boone county, Ky, few miles from
Covington, left his home for Clarksville,
Tenn. He arrivep at Louisville and
stopped over for the night at one of the
prominent hotels, where he met an old
enemy. They resumed their ancient
qu uarrell, and Falls struck his opponent
on the head with pistol, knocking him
down, when friends intcrferd and sepa-
rated them. They then agreed 10 set
tic the feud the next day with pistols in
the mountains Of Kentucky, ,and accord
ing to agreement they met the next day
and concluded their preparations. They
took train and left the city for the
mountains, unaccompanied by friends or
spectators, and from that day this not
a word has been heard from Philip Falls
or bis enemy.-Search and enquiries
have been made, but all are fruitless, and
many believe that the men fought as
they had premeditated, and fell at the
hands of each other in the mountains.
Both men were in good social standing,
and the QUARREL, which had such mys-
terious termination, arose about wo-
man.

LYNcHING CASE IN MARYLAsD.-Mike
Green, colored, was lodged in Jail at
Upper Marlboro, Prince Georges coun-
ty, Nd, one day last week, charged
with the commission of an outrage up
on Miss Alace Sweeny, an cstimable
young white lady Of that county, having
first been taken before ber and fully
identified. Green's crime was of an un-
usually aggravated character, and in
tense excitement prevailed at Marlboro
from the moment of bis arrival there.
On Sunday night band of masked
men succeeded in forcing the fail, and
having secured their prisoner conveyed
him TO the junction on Queen Anne
road aud Hills lane, about mile from
the town. At that point is stout
cherry tree, whose branches oyerhang
the road. Green ia said TO have strug-
gled desperately while the moose was
being adjusted about bis neck, and to
have made full confession, after which
the rope was thrown across one Of the
bonghs and the victim jerked fifteen
feet from the ground. Early travellers
along the road next morning saw a re-
voting spectacle, the lifeless body still
dangling from the limb.
