The County Levies.

Auditor Gwin has issued timely cir
cular to Boards of Supervisors suggest
ing that the levy of county taxes be
not postponed beyond the September
meeting. Non-residents frequently APP
ply at the Auditors office to pay taxes
early in the fall, and the same cannot
be received until the Auditor is inform
ed of the county levy. The Auditor al
so requests the clerks of Boards to for
ward Immediately a certified copy of
the order levying the county tax. We
hope these timely suggestions of the
Auditor will be generally observed.

Specimens of Genuine Bulldozing.

The opposition are prating about bull
doing. Was there ever any bulldozing
equal to that practiced by the late AID
ministration when it filed Washington
City with troops and trainedits guns on
the Capitol to force submission to the
installation of the candidate for the
Presidency whom the people had re-
jected? Was there anything like the
bulldozing which was practiced in New
York City when several thousand for
eign-born citizens were thrust into iron
cages on suspicion that they intended
to vote the Democratic ticket, on the
pretext that their naturalization papers
were not legal, though they were after
wards decided in the courts to be strict
ly so? The opposition leaders have a
favorite way of
Compromising for sins they have mind to
By damning those they are not inclined to.

IT is the utmost Importance that the

A Tramp Law.

For the information of persons who
expect to engage in legislation for Mis-
sissippi, and who may think it neces-
sary to provide law for the abatement
of a growing evil, we will copy the main
features of the Tramp Bill, which re-
Gently passed the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture, and has become a law 1t went
into effect on the 10Th, and defines a
tramp as amy person going about from
place to place begging or subsisting
upon charity, and for the purpose of ac-
quiring money for living, and who shall
have no fixed place of residence or law
full occupation in the county or city in
which he shall be arrested" He shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
and, on conviction, shall be sentenced
to undergo imprisonment by separate
and solitary confinement at labor in the
county jail or workhouse for not more
than twelve months, in the discretion
of the Court. The law further provides
that any tramp who shall enter dwell
ing house without the permission Of the
owner or occupant, or shall kindle fire
in highway or on the land of another
or shall carry firearms with Intent to
injure or intimidate any other person,
shall be imprisoned for period not ex-
ceeding three years. The act does not
apply to females or minors under the
age of sixteen, nor to blind, deaf or
dumb persons unable to perform manu-
al labor. Pennsylvania papers gener-
ally predict that the law will work adj

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE publication by
The Tribune of the fact that Mrs. Chisolm has
determined to brave the dangers of visit to
Kemper county, Miss, to testify against the
assassins of her husband and children, has
already borne fruit. Mrs. Chisolm will not
go alone to confront the murderers. She will
be escorted by General Stewart L. Woodford
and his daughter. As soon as General Wood
ford read of Mrs Chisolm's determination to
be present at the trial, he wrote, offering the
services of himself and his daughter as an
escort, and they have been accepted.
Cali gush and pretence. Gen. Wood
ford has once been in our State as the
guest of the University, and was lion
lied and toasted. He has shared the
hospitality of our people and knows
that neither Mrs. Chisolm, nor any other
lady, would have need of an escort.l

RHODE ISLAND is a consistent Repub
lican State. And here is the way she
regulates suffrage: 1t is conferred Oh
native citizens paying a tax of 81, and
on naturalized citizens owning freehold
valued at s134, or paying rental of 81.
This is the present general law. There
is special provision prohibiting any
one from voting on a proposition to
impose tax on town unless he has
paid tax on one hundred and thirty
four dollars worth of real estate in that
town during the previous year. In
1871 it was submitted to the privileged
classes to say whether the property
qualifications as to foreigners should be
removed, and the vote stood two to one
against it. If the Southern States were
to adopt such laws, there would be no
end to the clamor which would be
raised by the Radical howlers of the
North.

than even those of seIf-defence actuated me.
If | had not felt myself overwhelmingly
iustifabIe in the affair, Dixon would have
lived, so far as | was concerned, to the end OF
time | had positive knowledge that he had
plotted to assassinate me, and that nav life
was in constant peril bat he was not satisfied
with abusing me and threatening my life.
He DETAINED the innocent who are dearer to
me than all Others on earth, and who could
have had nothing to DO with the issues be-
tween him and myself.
The time will not come until am in my grave,
when any man to wreak his vengeance upon
others, can defame then, with impunity.
All these shocking things, and many more
which would justify me in the eyes OF any one
who has particle of manhood in his nature
will be brought out in the trial. The
combat on my part was fair, open and honor
able. He had created a state of inevitable
war, and was responsible for the consequences.
