The Boston Transcript has done a
useful thing in calculating the tax s
paid per head by the inhabitant- OF
Massachusetts, The showing is re-
markahle, not to Say wonderful, The
State paid last year a total tax of $3s.-
714,05l, which. divided among the PEG
pie, gives 5a2.77 per head for young
aud old, Of both sexes. Statistics
show that each Massachuse, IS family
averag 5 Il persons SO that each
family pays nearly 50 a week taxes.
But The city OF Boston IS worse off, bl
a long line. Last year its total tax
was Sl1 263, $50 a tax per head of
93S.U4 on on 0veydge annu0! family tuc
ofS161.6 81 The average Boston family
pays actually more than 81 a week in
taxes! And as taxation is not bassd
on property, but on consumption, the
pc L pay their tax equally with the
rich. 1t certainly is hard for a poor
man to groa Iich under a system Of
taxation thai t,kes from him one-
fourth or Oue-fifth of bis whole earu-
ing5. Many poor men think they pay
no other tax than the p oi-tax. But
the fact i, thai the pOll>tax is a mere
at IN on the mountain, a mere Repub-
lican dodge TO keep poor men rom
voting. The real taxes thai grind men
to pover'y are paid in tha market and
sto e, for sugar tobacco, fermenred
liquors, stamps, and the /, goo articles
named III the lists.

.l-. NEW KENT COURTHOUSE,
February 90, 1879.
The Court has been engaged the last two
DAYS in trying Claiborne Smith, the third
Que arraigned for the murder OF John G..
Lacy The principal evidence against the
accused was his own confession, to the
effect that he started with the two parties
aIready sentenced 10 be hanged, but that
when Lacy's cart appeared in sight his heart
iailed him, and, leaving the others, had
proceeded several hundred yards when
he beard the cry Of "Murder," and
supposed his former confederates were
then executing their purpose. The case was
argued at length, and given to the jury at
ia O'Clock last evening, and after several
hours verdict was brought in OF guilty OF
murder in the second degree, the jury AS
sessing bis term Of imprisonment in the
penitentiary at eighteen years. This boy
had been considered of weak mind, aud bis
conduct during the trial indicated bis utter
lnsensibllity to anything like moral obli9a-
lion. Il may be, however, that he was
playing the fool TO 4 greater extent than
most people supposed, for, after his conVlc-
',on, he admitted that he was atthe scene
OF the murder and witnessed everything
that TRANSFERRED.

arrested for the murder OF Lacy, and at
whose house the articles taken from Lacy's
cart were found. upon his arraignment last
