Thomas Nast's Troubles.
[Cor. Chicago News.l

[Cor. Chicago News.
9TH. ,'ast," is in the dumps.
The true inwardness Of Nast's
trouble with George William Cur.
tbs, editor of Hsrper's Weekly,
has never come to light, but Ger.
tain it is, that the worlds greatest
cartoonist finds no place for his
sketches in the paper his genius
made famous. His contract with
the Harpers is for $4,000 a year
for life, and he draws $1,000 ev.
cry quarter with unfalteriag regu.
larity. | understand that he sends
his sketches to Harpers promptly
every Monday afternoon, and
they are promptly rut in a dark
pigeon.hole. The Harpers will
not use them, nor will they give
up the contract, and hence Artist
Mast is in q queer position. He Is
now acting as secretary OF the
Mann Boudoir Gar company, with
an Office on Courtlandt street,
near Broadway. His friends say
he is unhappy and aging very fast.
Funny, isn't it, that man with
$4,000 year for life should be
unhappy. If some people had the
earth, and it fenced with barbcd
wire, they would still be unhappy.
Mast is not the only unhappy
man In the circle. Without his
cartoons Harper's is a heavy drag
on its subscribers. We have ia.
ken 1t for years, for Mast alone ;
paying tribute thereby to his hos.
tile genius. II George Curtia
thinks his ponderous and fabby
editorials compensates any one
for Nast's strokes, he is q bigger
ass than brays in jackson to-day.

Lcvce Bill.

We are indebted to the Clarion
proprietors for a copy of the bill
which the Governor transmitted
to the Legislature, with the special
levee message which we published
in our last issue. Upon u hasty
perusal 1t appears to be a very
good bill, somewhat crude; but
amply providing for the organiza-
tion of a Levee District of the up.
per front and back Delta counties.
But we are not hopeful of the en-
actment Of this or any other bill
providing for effectual work. Had
the SPIRIT of such work existed
in those communities it would
have found vent long since. SO
long as their citizens do not uni.
tedly rise up and throttle the de-
mon of dissension and ignorance
that divides their energies aud
confounds their counsels; so long
will they passively take the over
flows that the seasons bring.

B0yntou Interviewed.


Gen. Boynton, in an interview
at the close of ex-Speaker Keifer's
speech, said he had simply to say
on the responsibility he was soon
to assume under oath before a
committee of investigation, that
he never had one word Of convcr-
sation with Gen. Keifer on tho
merits of the McGarrahan bill at
any time or anywhere, except as
stated in his published letter, and
that the pretended details of the
conversation with him as given by
Gen. keifer on the floor formed
enc colossal falsehood, and he de.
sired his denial to be considered
so broad as to cover every point
of that speech and his letter which
suggested corrupt action.

The Crested Buttes Disaster.

Denver, Jan. 26.-Twcnty.three
more burned bodies were to-day
recovered from Crested Butte
Mine, making fifty-seven in all,
and but two remain. Those found
to-day were all found in Chamber
No 2; and In the passage-way in
the immediate vicinity. Many
have their arms and legs broken,
skulls crushed in, and clothing so
badly bunred that it drags of in
rags when the nody is moved.
Hair is burned from heads, and
all the skin is burned of the faces
aud other exposed portions of the
bodies, leaving them an utterly un-
recognizable mass ofraw bleeding
flesh. The appearance Of these
bodiesis horrible beyond deserip.
ton, and 1t is not likely any of
them can be recognized. Many
Of the faces have coal dust ground
into them until they are black -

5REENFILLETIMES.
SATURDAY. FRB.a. lss4


This bin passed the House On
Monday night by over two-thirds
majority; our county Representa-
tives voting against ii. 1t has
nov 10 run the gauntlet Of the
Senate.
In anticipation Of this bill pass
ing the Senate, the Herald urges
the Goyeror to veto it. Perhaps
in singleness Of sense to duty the
Governor should, if the bill does
not meet his approval. so treat It.
But we believe it would bo true
policy to give sway to the popular
will. That there is n popular ma
jority favoring "Railroad Super
vision,n delusion though il is, none
may gainsay. Now if this delu-
sion cannot be otherwise remov-
ed, II il must be a perpetual cause
of dissension aud an obstruction
to beneficial legislation, rather
give il sway, aud il will, as do all
abuses, cure itself. The enforce
ment Of evil laws always leads to
the correction of the spirit whence
they proceed.
Wise men, n,temperate men, would
not champion this measure.
Hence they were left at home, aud
We have majority composed Of
extremists, narrow minded and
passion swayed. The reaction
will come before any serious
harm is done; aud II will be
better for the railroads to have 1t
soon run its course.

ced, We experienced severe disap.
pointment. And knowing the po.
sition Of Mr.. Spencer upon this
qusstion, our surprise cquallcd
our disappointment. We sfhcere.
ly trust thatthe petition of large
,.j6dy Of planters, sent to Jackson
by Capt. w. w. Stone, will yet Sc.
cure the only good thing we have
allowed ourselves TO hope for OBJ
tanning from this Legislature. The
substitute will, IN our view, prove
a dclusion and q snare.

Col. E. Richardson, President Of
the SOnthern Exposition:
sIR-After conference with, and
at The suggestion Of, many Of tie
friends Of the Exposiiioa I desire
through yOn 10 submit what to rs
seems a grand proposition. In
the States Of Georgia and North
Carolina there has lately been
held . eolored State Fair, which
was houored by being opened BY
the Governor Of that State, !. e.
the Governor Of North Carolina.
Similar fairs have been held in the
States Of Virginia and Kentucky,
and one win be held in this State
during the year Of 1854.
Now. what we propose is that
at your grand Cotton Centennial
a department be allotted to the
eolored people, with facilities for
showing TO the wsrld the improve
ments made by us since the land
ing of the first cargo at James
town, and up to the year 1854.
OF course yon will understand
that nothing of a partisan nature
is to enter into any display that
may be made of any kind. But
living in the South as we do. and
having contributed so much to
make this land blossom as the
rose, we feel a pardonable pride
to contribute in such . manner
that the world may know that we,
here, in our native land, are not
unmindful Of the material pros
perity Of the country.
Should you decide to permit us
to make such exhibits, as know
will probably be made, we will add
an attraction to the grand enter
tainment which will do us credit
and do you no injury. As a mat
ter of course, If you should favor
ably conslder our proposition, all
details will be left to you, and
We will do our hest to make such
a display In the mechanical, agri-
cultural and domestic arts, under
whatever conditions may be re-
quired, AS would be creditable to
us and acceptable to the managers
of'the Exposition.
| / respectfully refer you to his
Excellency, Gov. Robt. Lowry and
all State officers.
Respectfully,
JOHN ID. WEBSTER.

AAan3tlatta kItea.
The demoeratlc senators held q
caucus Immediately after the ad.
Journment Of the senate to-day for
the purpose Of deciding upon the
policy to be adopted in reference
to Senator shermanis resolution
ealing for an investigation into
alleged eutrages At elections IN
Virginia and Mississippi. After
a full and general expression Of
opinion il was decided that party
action should be governed by cir.
cnmstances when the Sherman
resolution should come mp for con-
sideration; that the resolution
merely alleged outrages had been
committed and voters intimidated
by criminal violence at elections
IN two southern states. If the re-
publican senators, in their remarks
upon the resolution, should treat
the alleged outrages IS ascertain
ed and proved facts. should refer
to specific acts Of violence and in
timidation, and should attempt to
charge the democratic party with
the responsibility for such acts, it
would, in the opinion ofthe caucus,
be proper and expedient for the
democratic Senators to accept the
issue and enter actively into de-
bate, shaping their course in ac-
cordauce with the drift of the dis
cussion. This, 1t was conceded,
would probably lead to a heated
political controversy. Ifhowever,
the republican senators should
not directly force this issue, il
they should confine themselves to
general allegations of local dis.
order and violence and not assert
that the democratic party fostered
and encouraged spirit which
gave rise to such disturbances, il
was decided to let the republicans
have the debate mainly to them
selves.
The programme mapped ont
was adhered to strictly. Firsi
came Sherman with q long SCI
speech, followed by Judas Ma
hone. When the latter closet
there was call Of "vote," ant
the resolutions were adopted b.
a party vote.
Never was silence better times
OF more cffcctual. The only hope
of utilizing these resolutions wal
to thereby provoke heated discus
sion. That was the intent, aud |
was foiled completely by the wis
inaction Of the Democratic Sena
tors.

Suggestions Concerning Taxation.

list. A law cxempting from taxa.
ton all money lent In this State ut
a rate Of interest not exceeding
eight per cent per annum.
?. A law cxcmpting from taxa
tion NIL money invested In bank.
ing, or bank stock, which does not
pay a dividend of exceeding eight
per cent. per annum, allowing
reserve fund Of not exceeding two
per cent.
3. A law exempting from taxa
tion all foreign money lent in this
State which Is taxed at the domicil
Of tho lender.
A. A law requiring all banks to
obtain charters aud to publish PERI.
odically a sworn statement Of their
condition, and prohibiting, under
severe penalties, any adventuring
Of the money or credit Of the bank
In speculative enterprises not an.
thorizcd by its charter, or their
fraudulent or unauthorized use,
by officers Of the bank for their
private gain.
The foregoing suggestions from
a correspondent Of the New Mis-.
sissippian, are good. They in
dicate an anomaly IN our mode Of
assessments that has in some
States been corrected. We refer
to the taxation of mortgages.
This Is In effect double taxation of
the property upon which the mort.
gage Is placed. For instance, A.
owes b. $1,000 and borrows from
G. to pay the debt; giving mort
gage 10 secure the loan. The
mortgage at once becomes subject
to taxation as an article of value I:
when II is in fact but a represent.
atiye Of tho value Of the property
upon which IL is placed; aud sub.
tracts from its real, without reduc.
ton Of its assessed value. The
$1,000 Is taxed as property Of BIS.
II may be argued that under a
change Of the mode of assess.
ments, relieving mortgages from
taxation, the money lender would
escape tribute. But he is a Joint
owner of the property upon which
he loans his money; which is tax
cd. Either the property mortga.
ged or the instrument of mort.
gage ought to be relieved from
taxation. As it Is, as we said, the
property lnortgaged lie taxed
twice; and the debtor in fact
pays both assessments. As the
money lender increases his inter.
est rate By the amount of his
taxes.
