Narrow EscaDe.

Tuesday morning workman was engaged in taking of one of the arms on a fire alarm pole opposite the New Britain Knitting fac tory, and gave it blow with a hatchet, when the latter fell from his hand and cut off part of the brim of hat worn by a man who was passing at the time. It was a most fortunate escape from what would probably have been instant death if the pedestrian had been one or two inches further on.

1t is hoped that the recent conviction
and sentence by the Court, OF several
persons indicted for voting illegally at
the election in this city last Septem Der,
will effectually prevent the bumners
and repeaters who have heretofore been
employed by certain Democr attic, politi-
clans on election day, from entering
into any new contracts. A drink OF
whiskey or dollar for vote, will not
compensate any one for taking the risk
Of being sentenced to pay a fine of $50
and costs, and six months imprison-
ment. The extent to which the practice
Of fraudulent voting has been carried
on is really alarming. Various candi-
dates for the Mayoraity and other city
Offices have been successful by it, and

honest men, without regard TO party
considerations, must heartily unite 10

Sheriff, and for this service to the Dem
ocraoy, they were each treated fifteen
times. From this it seems that James
Martin was cheated out of his election,

Is the Czar OF all the Russias


AVienns despatch says:The substance
Of certain cfict II reports which have been
made to the authorities here by their
agents at St.Petersb burg has leaked out,
andis in process Of circulation in society.
The reports give in great detail the facts
respecting the mental condition Of the
Car, and they lead to the conclusion
that the emperor of all the Russias is at
times quite insane. He is represented
as subject TO prolonged fits ofdspression
so profound that he remain. for hours
and even days, in a state of almost
unconscious lethargy.
These fits are succeeded bv wild ex-
hiliaration, during which the Car is
most affabls, genial and joyous, and it
is at these moments that his courtiers
ask and receive favors of the most ex-
travagant description. 1t is said that
in one of these moods the Gear announ-
ced that he WAS resolved to grant to
Russia a practically democratic form Of
government, and to call upon his people
to elect legislature which should
frame a constitutional form of govern

tion Of the Gar by his son is not at all

Ia XatiOD.

The taxpayers of this State have
good reason to complain Of the course
pursued by our lawmakers. In for
mar times it was held that every citi-
zen should contribute his proper quota
towards paying the cost of our courts,
almhouse, jail, &c. Every man was
then assessed and the collectors we're
required to csllee. the tax from every
enc who had the ability to pay the
SAM. The m,mb5rs OF the Levy Court
carefully scanned the list when it was
presented for their inspection and re.
fused to allow the names Of p.r-
sons to be returned as errors, from
whom the tax could be collected PARTY
considerations did not govern them in
this matter, the object being to raise
revenue and not to influence elections.
This course certainly was right, and it
should be adhered to. It is more i'm.
portaut to a majority OF our citizens
that the taxes should he kept at the
lowest possible figure than any par.
ticular party should triumph. There
can only be wholesome legislation and
good government where honesty and
fair dealing are practiced. The Demo
Gratis have thought proper to adopt q !
different policy. The object il rov to
preserve the ascendency Of their
party rather than to promots the
good Of the community. Hence the Leg
islature changed the law in regard to
the assessment and collection of taxes.
The assessors now endeavOr to assess as
few men as possible who do not own
any real estate. Their study is to
escape from the performance Of q duty
instead Of doing it fully and willingly. |

The sans may bs said Of the collectors.
Few II any Of them condescend to ask .
non-propsrty holder to pay his tax. In
deed political opponents have often
been told by the collectors that their
names were not on the duplicate, In or
der that they might be returned as
errors. The Levy Court is equally per-
sistent in wrong doing in this matter.
Although the law authorizes the placing
of voters on the assessment, the mem
bers seek to evade doing so and thu not
only fail in their duty, bur also disregard
their oaths. In fact in many cases the
members perjule themselves or elte the
Clerk of the Peace must have failed to
properly perform his duty. The people
consequently have causeto complain and
to demand q change Of such an uuWise
and unjust policy. Again according to
the law man who ia returned as an
error cannot bs re-assessed for a
year, as though the Intention was to
punish him for being careless or poor.
In no other State is the law for ASSESS
ment so complicated and it has been
well said that it was designed to cheat
the puor out OF th4ir votes and the
State out OF revenue. The Democrats
defend this uawise policy deeming it
better TO achieve party victory
through c'icanery than through tie
influence Of tho shOf-gnn.

CLoPEDIA BRITANNICA,
DEAR SIR: The opportunity you have given
us to compare the three editions of the ninth is
sue of the Encyclopedia Britannica-viz, the
''Original English Edition." the american Re
print" by J. NJ. Stoddart & Co., and what is call
ed the ''Scribner-Hall Edition''-has enabled us
to discover the following facts
/. The "Scribner-Hall Edition. is decidedly
inferior to the Original" in the eter-press pa
per and binding.
q It does not give the full text of the "English
Edition." and in some instances the omissions in
text are such a character as to teach error. Els
pecially is this seen in the article Anatomy
8. The plates do not agree with the Original -
| most of them being smaller. These reductions
| in some cases being made, and the text describ-
| ing the plates not being changed a correct idea
| of the size of the plants (see article sBotany'
| cannot be obtained
| f. The marginal references, in many instances
are so bound into the backs of the volumes as to
render them quite useless.
| 5. The maps vary from the Original" show.
| ing that they are not ''from the same" but from
quite inferior plates. Notably is this the case
in the maps Of Cornwall and Cumberland, in
which the fne-line engraving showing elevations
| is entirely omitted.
6. So many serious defects occur in this "Scrib
| ner-Hall Edition" that we do not hesitate to say
| that the guaranty given that we are getting the
work. ''both in letterpress and illustra lions, like
the English edition" is not being carried out il
good faith In other words, we are not receiving
| what we contracted for.
| So far as we have examined the American
| Reprint" published by J. M. Stoddart & Co., il
is faithful reproduction in subject matter o.
the original text, maps and plates 1t is well
printed on excellent paper, is we'll bound, and il
in better form for the shelves and ordinary hand
| ling than qua-to.
