In the municipal election of Monday last, the negroes swept the board, electing their whole ticket, except three out of twelve rouncitmen, by five hundred majority. S.I tli >y have a city, as well as State gov ernment, with the tax-payors rnlod out. Tin* only result* to bo worked out by such *a arrangement are disorder, insolvency and ruin. The obligation* of any gov ernment controlled by people who con- sanm but do not pay tho taxes, are not worth a mill in tho dollar, and cannot be. When a man can plow with a crowbar or pickaxe and saw wood with » hoe, ho can safely rim a government by peoplo who pay no taxes and whore only interest lies in squandering. Them was a row in tho afternoon of tho election, growing out of the impoliteness of a nigger with a "hoes pixtol,” who said he intended to kill all the <1—d reticls in the city, ami commenced the work on a little white 1>oy.

Ju*T So.—The New York Times of Fri day saya t •*It may os well be uuderstocal at once «W- all n'l-irtcd interview* of IletaM re porters with the President are the wild fabrications of a wretched aet of Bohe mians whom that journal employs, and who would be turned adrift by any ether intry- The personal ad- the Herald, its disgust- ;.i. ' and its 'bogus' news all render its thorough ilisgrace trv.os most intelligent Amer- d it. As for a few more cent* to the 27 on tl of their earning* which go to support the lB * Government. But it i* notable that in the course of this lecture on economy the President never drops a hint about his well-known purpose to relinquish, on his part, the provision for doable pay, and to compel tho members of Congress to do likewise. We fear thi* retrenchment is not going to begin with the heads of family, and therefore it will be a failure. There will ho no retrenchment, but on addition to expenditures, which are already more than three times as great as they were under the last Democratic administra tion. Well, the Democrat* of thi* country would not quarrel very fiercely even with those expenditures, if by the tariff they did not tax us 80 cents to get the other 20 cents into the treosnry. But where taxation is laid, not primarily for rev enues, Imt to protect this and that “in dustry" by correspondingly raising the price of the goods made—it is this cruel and abominable practice which consti tutes the real burden of our taxation. It is this that makes living so high that the other taxation by governments. Fed eral, State, county and municipal, comes with crushing effect upon the people. If Congress would givo the country a tariff tax of not more than 23 per cent., it would bring abundance of revenue, and at tho same time practically redneo tax* at ion about one-half. But, evidently, from tho tone of his discourse on specie payments, tbo Presi dent's hood has been crammed by the old-timo protectionists, who hang the solvency of the country not on the gene- eral prosperity and solvency of the peo ple, individually and collectively, but on tlio single point of koeping up a balance of exports and imports with foreign na tions. And then how do they propose to keep up this balance? Why, by a policy which would become a Turk or a Dutchman or a Hong merchant of tho Inst century— that is. by putting nn exorbitant tax on import* anil no cutting them down, by sqnecxing a double price for them out of the people. That is a simple, easily un derstood arrangement—open to the com prehension of a savage. A more direct method would lie that adopted by tlio Dutch East India Company, who used to burn tho good Java coffee when the crops were too heavy. Another method would he to station ships around the const and order off tho cargoes of foreign goods when goods are roming in too freely. It nover occurs to these philosophers and statesmen that heavy trade one way makes heavy trado the other; and if we import fri>cly of English goods we always export freely of American prodnets, and thus tho scales of importation and expor tation are for more likely to keep a bal ance by the natural operations of trade, tlian when moved in a rude way with the foot or the hand of intormeddle-omc and oppressive legislation. The people of tlio United States could manage this debt very well and even support the horrid extravagance of Bad- teal administration, without a groan, if the Radicals could leave trade to its nat ural operation, and not harms* it with sinister laws and obstructions, to benefit particular classes of people nt tho expense of others. If they would tax for revenue atone the tax could bo easily paid and the revenue would tie abundant. But when they tax to bring twenty cents into tlio revenue, and divide out the other eighty among the “ protected industries of the country." this is where the shoe pinches, here is where the food producers are hurt. This brings the bloody sweat out of “the nation” so-called. , Guy Fatvkcs. It turns out that the young Guy Fawkes in the London Zoological Garden is a fe male hippopotamus. Wednesday, Nov. ft was hor birthday, slio being jnst one year old. and the English naturalist, Frank Bucklond, colled to wish her “many happy returns." He writes in “Lund and Water, using the masculine instead of tho feminine gender, possibly for the reason that the name is masculine : “ I chanced to call at breakfast time, and was fortunate enough to witness the operation of suckling. Tho water in tho bath was os door as crystal, and I was aide to observe eveiything that went on. Tho mother lay herself down on hor side, turning over like a huge bacon pig asleep. The young one stood on all fours at tho lmttom of the tank, and took his food very much aft*w tlie fashion of a calf. Ho stayed under water from half a minute to a minute and three-quarter*; he then cstne to tlio surface, took a deep inspiration and sank ngnin os quiet as a frog. It was interesting to see with what little splash or noise these gigantic creatures can lift their heads to the sur face of the water. After lie bail finishod his breakfast, Prescott, tho keeper, en ticed Guy Fawkes and his mother out of the water; the little ono is as tame, playful and docile os a kitten. We made him out to li« about six feet four long, and two feet ton at the shoulder*. Ilis back is a ahity black odor, but his cheeks, chest and legs are of a lovely pink salmon color. Wo calculated hjs weight to bo nearly ono ton. and his mother would make and weigh about three little hippos. He oats and sleeps well, and besides his natural nourish ment his meals consist of chaff, bran, mangel-wurzel, scalded oats, biscuit, and sugar. Ho is voiy fond of anything sweet. He has already learnt to beg for food; he puts his head out between the hors, opops his mouth, and pricks up his little cars whep he wants to beg. The gape of his mouth is about eighteen inches; he has already a most level/ set of white teeth, and the tusks begin to project out of his pink gums. His mother is very watchful over him, and if she thinks any one is about to disturb her child, hisses loudly like a big snake. Every morning when it is moist and wet he and his mother are let out in the bath outside; when it is dry and frosty they are kept in the house, as the frost would crack and porch their delicate skins. When in his monring both he is very playful, and plunge* about like a por poise. The pair of hsppos sleep on the straw all night, but they spend a great portion of the slay in their bath in tho house in a sort of semi-deep. They float up to hroathe apparently without an effort, like corks rising to tho surface. When under water they keep their eyes wide open after the manner of crocodiles. ■When the mouth of tho young one is wide open, it will be seen that the tongue is arched directly upward so as to form a compact valve, which prevents the water going down the gullet. The old father in the next den talks to his wife and child by means of sonorous grantings, and tficy answer him. The father’s face is much lony* and sharper than that of his wife, and his eyes and nose are much more prominent- I understand from Mr. Bartlett, who kindly allowed me a private interview with the 'hippo?, that another baby is expected about next April, and that Barnum is most anxious to obtain it. I doubt if he will 5 let him go and catch a wild baby hippo for himself.

The New Orleans Times, of November 1ft l>«i an article showing that a piece of prop erty worth $5,000 in 1850, but which now would not fetch more than S2J>0ft was assessed in that year $10 for State taxes, but now has to pay $100. This is an increase in twenty-three yean of ftOOO per cent., i. t. where a man paid $1 in 185ft he is now obliged to pay $20. An atrocious feature of the law under which these enormous taxes are col lected is a provision by which, after thirty days, the delin quent tax-payer “ forfeits his right to bring suit before any justice, parish, or district, or State court, and every court having jurisdiction within the State shall deny and refuse to issue a civil process of any kind or nature what ever in his name cr for his behalf until Ms taxes are paid. In other words, if this twenty-fold tax, laid by a bogus leg islature for the support of a fraudulent government, and in possi ale payment of the interest upon swindling debts, should by any chance not lie paid within thirty days after three advertisements in some obscure paper, or failing that, by hand bill upon tree or gate-po-t. the delinquent tax-payer is outlawed. Kellogg’s metro politans may enter into and possess Iris property. He cannot go to court to eject them. They may cast lum into prison as an absconding debtor. He rannot ex tricate himself; lie lias no standing what ever in court until lie "shows liis pass.” Such is the freedom of which native Americans can boast in this third quarter of the nineteenth century, this age of progress and enlightenment, wlionthrone? are tottering throughout the world, and the oppressed gieople of Europe are look ing to our land for their mode of future governments. A writer in the New Orleans Times of November 2ft gives in round figures the hardens under which Louisiana groans. The State debt is al>out thirty millions, while that of the city of New Orleans is twenty-fivo millions. Add to there tho small estimate of five million? for the out side parishes, and wo havo a total of $80,000,000. Tho private indebtedness of planters, in tho way of mortgages and advances from foreign capitalists on crops, cannot lie less than $10,000,000, making a total of $100,000,000. on which interest must be paid continually. Tlie report of the Shite Auditor for 1870 ; iloced the entire taxable property of the 1 tat-' at $231,218,017. but so great has been it* depreciation sine, owing to Rad ical mi-rule and intensified taxation, that it would not sell to-day for moro than $100.000,000—thus, showing, that under tho Kellogg administrat ion, all the prop erty of the State would not bring under the hammer, tho amount of debt? for which it stands mortgaged. The total of taxes for the current year is $12,728,000, while tho accumulation of back taxes amount to nearly a? much more—giving an aggregate of taxes, to Is? now collect ed by Kellogg's bayonets under the above infamous law, as about one-fourth of the saleable value of tlio property. These taxes are euhaneed by the gross injustice of taxing tho same property over again, in ti.o luind* of tho holdor and of the mortgager. -V inherit'd from Iris father a plantation worth $10,000, but years of adversity havo given B u mortgage on it to the same amount—not it? original value, but all it is worth under present misrule. So A must pay taxes on $10,000 and It must do likewise. This grievance exists throughout tho State to a degree not dreamed of in the more fortunate commonwealths. So much for tile rural district?. Of New Orleans, the writer in tho Times says: “ As to the urban population of the State, particularly the inhabitant? of New Orleans, it may lie safely asserted— which assertion would be confirmed by their almost unanimous testimony, if ne cessary—that hardly any ono of them, whatever may be Iris pursuits, bis capac ity, hi* energy, and the ample amount of property he owns, has been able to cover the current expenses of the year, not withstanding the strictest vigilance and economy. For the first time, history, which is said to repeat itsulf hut bio of ten, will have to record a fact without a precedent—which is, tiiat in t iroes of pro found pi-nee, in the nineteenth century of the Christian era, among people claiming to be the most free nnd prosperous of all nations on tlie globe, there is a city of 200,000 souls, called New Orleans, and far-famed for its commercial advantages, where two-thirds of the rovenno of the property therein situated would not bo accepted as a gift on condition to pay tho taxes, and that there are in it daily scenes of distress, whieli are a? heart rending as any invented by tho fertile imagination of Dickens.” DAY DISPATCHES.

Subsequently better feeling prevailed. The estates of oightoen American citV- xens have been unconditionally release!. The passengers by the steamer Wil mington from Havana state that Ameri cans in Havana are insultingly treated, and have no redress. They hare great difficulty in obtaining copies of newspa pers. The authorities do not wish to di- xrulge what i* going on in Havana, and hence the transmission of Havana papers by mail ho? been stopped. The Religions War in Germany. Loxnox, December 3.—A Berlin des patch states that the city of Posen will probably be declared in a state of siege in consequence of the ultra montane agi tation. _ The Villo du Havre.

The farewell chapter in the history of tho Modoc tragedy has probably been written by a reporter of the Kansas City Times, who lately interviewed tho most noted or notorious of the survivors of the tribe, while they were riding in a special train over tho Council Bluffs railway on their way to tho Indian Territory, where government has decreed they are to re side. As tho interview was conducted in the small hours of tho night, when the savages were lying upon tho car floor asleep, it xa? found to be rather up-hill business. Shaeknssty Jim positively re fused to be aroured, but Scar-faced Char lie proved in genial mood, and announced himself satisfied with his prospects, pro vided enough to eat and wear was fur nished by the government. Mrs. Jack, having her face blackened in token of mourning, was not disposed to enlighten tho world with nny general views, bat Princes.?

A Marrow liscapc for NIr. Cali- l>Icr. A Mr. Cobbler, of Memphis, had an es cape recently that would make a fitting parallel to the “Dream Woman” of Wil kie Collins. Mr. Cobbler was awakened from hi* sleep by the pressure of some ■s hand on hi? left breast, from which tho nnseeti fingers were palling off the bed-clothing. Thinking it was his bed fellow, Mr. Armstrong, he gently seized the hand, whereupon its owner made a desperate offort to disengage himself, and inflicted two severe stabs in Mr. Cobbler's right side. The form of a man was now seen to rush toward the door, and, run ning down the stairway, glided out into the darkness. By thia time Mr. Cabbler was bleeding profusely. Two gentlemen who had been aroused by the noise of the struggle, hastened to turn on the gras and have a physician summoned to tho aid of the wounded man, the extent of whose injuries could not at that time he accurately ascertained. Upon examina tion, a Spanish stiletto was found stick ing in the bed-clothing, where it had been entangled by the murderous fiend in his haste to get away. The point of this deadly instrument‘was red with the warm blood ot his intended victim, whose life was accidently raved by the thick bed-clothing. It is not pleasant certainly to awaken lddcnly and find an unseen assassin's h.e.l feeling for one's heart- Mr. Cabbler was shot by some one un known once before. He is said to be an honest, industrious man, with host* of friends, »»i the persistency with which his life is sought is unacconntabl*. He is not fatally injured.

Accident to Submarine Cables, Thosqwho predicted that submarine cables would bo destroyed by the inhabi tant? of tho deep soa were not far from being right after all, as tlie cables thus far laid have suffered moro or less from tlio attack of a species of teredo (tlie ship worm), from whale3 and from un known fish. Tho use of a preparation of Ellicin, in the form of soluble gluss, in the compound, applied outside of all the ca bles, is said to he a sure protection from the attack? of the persevering shell-fish, and tho other causos of destruction to cables are of such rare occurrence that it is not necessary to provide against them. The Cuba and Florida cable was once damaged, as was supposed, by tho bite of some large fish, and a similar accident happened to the China cable. The spe cies of lance carried by the “saiv-fish” once penetrated the Singapore cable, and wa3 broken off in the efforts of the fish to extricate it. A singnlar accident also happened to the Persian Gulf cable, at a point 118 miles from shore, where the cable hung in a deep loop over a subma rine precipice. After the manner of the hog which scrapes off parasites by rub bing his side against a post or rail, a whale used the cable to free himself from barnacles that had fastened themselves to his tail and he probably, by a fillip of his tail, snapped tbo cable around his body, and, thus suspended in the water, died. The cable wa? wound up to the repair ship with great difficulty, and tho remain? of the whale, firmly secured with two and a half turns of the cable around his tail, were brought to the surface. The tail measured twelve feet across, and was covered with barnacles. The cable across the Yar in tho Die of Wight was once broken by a bullock, which, falling over board, got entangled in it. Such acci dents, however, are uncommon, and the only living enemy which all cables have to meet is the persistent little shell-fish that bores his way through wood and gutta-percha in search of food.—Phila- Jiiphia Ledger. War. What war is, wo of this generation, in thia oonntry, know. The man who blind- him. ~ DtTri ngliis reign theKhan of Russian shells tumbling into hi? pal- | ace. bad taken counsel of hit fears, and, ' with a few Tiuvhcian horsemen, hud escaped to the desert. Finding refuge in the Turcoman country, he awaited Gen. Kaufman's response to his offer of surrender. That commander sent him word that if he returned within a week he would have nothing to tear from tho Russians, but. if lie would not return, then the Russian General, who could not allow the country to remain without a government, would set up another prince in hi? stead. Soon the 11th of June, the Khan, in answer to Ins summons, re turned to Khiva, accompanied by his one hundred followers, .and was conducted into the presence of his conqueror. The army had by this time left the town, and was camped outside in a large garden belonging to the Khan. This gar den was filled with fruit trees, and under some noble elms the Rus sian General had pitched his tent. There was a little fountain—not much in its sray, but a wonderful comfort after our desert experience—and a pond, with •luck and geese and monstrous pelicans. Here Kaufmann lived; hero he first mot the Khan. As soon as the arrival of the Klian was announced we all gathered about tlie Russian General* curious to see the despot who had mado so much figure in tho Russian mind. He rode humbly enough into the garden, where tew days before be bail been supreme, followed by about twenty soldiers. When he came to the end of a short avenue of poplars that led to the Russian tent he dismounted from his richly caparisoned horse and advanced on foot. .Taking off his tall sheepskin hat he bowed low, and, ascending the little platform, knelt down before Kaufmann, who was seated on camp stool, and offered to kiss his hand. This tho Russian General re fused. He withdrew a little fur ther on the platform and remained kneeling. It should be observed that these people do not sit liko the Turks, cross-legged, lint Like a kneeling posture, with the weight of tlie body thrown back on the feet, which are twisted inward and pressed npon the ground flat. In this posture they eat, drink and converse, so that the kneeling was not an evidence of humility. In years he was about 30, with a pleasant expression of countenance when not darkened by fears, as at present; largo full eyes, slightly oblique; aquiline nose; a thin black beard shading' the face; a mustache covering a heavy, sen sual mouth; in body, powerful; six feet three inches high, broad shouldered and cighing, I should say, between 230 and 300 pounds. His raiment "was a robe of bright blue silk and tho till sheepskin cap of tho Khivan country. He was pale, and sst patiently before tho General, scarcely daring to look him in tlie face. Here be was at last, this Governor of Turkestan; this famous Tarim Padishah, as ho is called all over Central Asia, (Touching at the feet of this Minister of the Czar, was tho tho terrible Khan of Khiva. The two formed a ctirions con trast. Kaufmann, very small in size, looking storingly, almost with a smile of satisfaction, upon his enemy, formed a ■ sicture of the superiority of mind over srute force, and civilization over barbar ism. INTERylEW BETWEEN TnE KIIAN AND THE RUSSIAN GENERAL. General Kaufmann said to tho Khan: I have come to see you at last, as I wrote you I would do throe y??ars ago.” The Khan answered, “Allah ha? so willed it. 1 No,” said General Kaufmann, “you are mistaken; this is not the work of Allah it is yonr own. If you had listened to my counsel three years ago and auswered my just demands, you would not have seen me here. If yon luul token my ad vice, Allah would not have so willed it.” •The pleasure,” said the Khan, with an Oriental bow, “of seeing the Tarim Piv dishah is so great that I could wish noth ing changed.” General Kaufmann, srith an ironical smile, answered, "I assure yon the pleasure is mutual. TeU ino wliat yon wish to dot 1 ” “That,” said the Khan, “I leave to you to decide in your groat wisdom. If I could Irish for any thing it would be to become a subject of the Great 'White Tsar (the name given to the Czar in Central Asia).” The General auswered. “Very well 1 You shall not be his subject, but his friend, though all depends upon yourself. The Great White Tsar does not wish your throne; ho only wishes you to under stand that ho is too great a Tsar to be trifled with. He cannot tako revenge; having shown you his might he is ready to forgive yon, and let you retain your throne under conditions which you anil I, Khan, will di.?cn3S another day. “I know,” responded tho Khan, “I hare done wrong in not granting the just de mands of the Russians, but I was igno rantly advised. I will know better in the future. I thank tho Great White Tsar and you, illustrious Tarim Padishah, for your kindness and forbcaranco, and will always he jour friend.” “You may return, then,” said the General, “to yonr capital. Re-establish your (government, and let tho Minister of Justice preserve order. Tell your peoplo to return to their work, and they will roceivo no harm; that we are neither barbarians nor robbers; that wo do not come to carry off their wealth nor offend their women.” Thus, with some few question.? and answers of courtesy about each other’s health, ended the interview, tlio Khan saying, as ho left, that ho thought tho Tarim Padishah was a great and good man, and ho should always love him. THE KHAN BEGINS TO GOVERN. After this there were other interview?, at ono of which tho Khan reviewed tho Russian troop3. It was curious to ob serve the astonishment with which he watched tho filing past of tho Russian army, with its solid, regular tramp, short, quick shout, moving liko machines, with out turning their heads. At a second in terview tho Khan wa? informed by Kauf man that ho could hold his throne upon condition of paying an indemnity of about .£300,000; possession of the right hank of the Oxus to the Russian do minions ; tho complete abolition of sla very, the liberation of 40,000 slaves; tho proclamation of free trado in the purest sense of that term; tho withdrawal of all custom-house duties, and the removal of all disabilitiu3 on Russian merchants, who should onjoy the same rights os the Khivans themselves. To these condi tions the Khan readily subscribed, only asking for time to pay the indemnity. Under tho orders of tho Russian commander, a divan, or council of state, wa? formed to discuss the ways and means of carrying out this treaty. This council wa? composed of the Khan and three of his ministers, together with three Russian officers well versed in Central Asian affairs. This council was not only to carry ont the treaty, but to advise tho Khan upon the future government of his province, the best way of collecting taxes, and to raise money for the indemnity. Kanffmann told the Khan that he must not be of fended with his council; that this was the very way I10 himself was governed; that even the Great White Tsar himself never took any measure without first asking advice of ministers. The Khan entered into the arrangements srith great zest, as the business had a charm of nov- so on, increasing A2.000 every two years, until it reaches J230.000. at which figure, it is to remain until the whole sum is paid- Interest is to be paid at five per cent., and the whole buto, principal and interest, is to be defrayed in twenty years. Gen. Kaufmann's reason for increasing the payment was that commerce will ad vance so rapidly alter Khiva is open to the Russians that the Kahn will be bet ter able to pay £30.000 ill a few years' time than he can pay £15,000 now. My own thought is that long liefere the sum l? paid the death of the Kahn or some loral and political event will enable the Russians to find a pretext for quietly occupying the left bank of the Oxus, as they now occupy the right, without re sistance or commotion, and so become absolute masters of tho whole of the Klii- v.on dominions.

Even Henry Clay, who drove Madison into proposing war with Eng land in 1S12, and who was the most ar dent and passionate foe of Spanish power in South America, erdaiaed, in one of his most famous patsages: “It 13 not every cause for war that should lead to war. War is one of those dreadful scourges that so shakes the foundations of society, overturns or changes tile char acter of government, interrupts or de-. stroys the pursuit of private happiness, brings, in abort, misery and wretched ness in so many forms, and, at last, is in its issue so doubtful and hazardous, that nothing but dire necessity can justify an appeal to arms.” In his noble discourse upon I’ym. Goldwin Smith say? of revo lution what is true of war: “Let ns never glorify revolution. Statesmanship is the art of avoiding it, and of making pro gress at once continuous and calm. Rev olution? are not only full of all that a good citizen and a good Christian hates while they last, but they leave a long train of bitterness behind. The • e.rgy and exaltation of cliaructer which they call fc rth are paid for in the iaaptodo, the depression, the* political infidelity, which ensue.” The pot-hou.-e clamors for war, bat the home pays for it. ha? been governed by a Persian favorite, who possessed the authority of his king dom, and to whose counsels he owed lus misfortunes with the Russians. A proc lamation was issued freeing the slaves; tho old Prime Minister, tho Persian fa vorite, wa* locked up by the Russian General, and no intercourse allowed be tween him and the Khan. THE XAllX AND HIS REVENUE. I learn tiiat the private revenue of the Kahn is £30,000 a year. Luxury is un known to him. although he has a large household and a good many wives; yet the manner of life is simplicity and fru gality itself. The only expensive luxury he can indulge 2? an occasional new wife and an addition to his stablo of Turco man horses. I heard that the Khan re ceived a supply of wine from Russia every year, npon which ho frequently got ex ceedingly drunk; but as the soldiers found no wine bottle? I am disposed to donbt this story. I take it tiiat the whole revenue of the State is £50,000, and that out of it the Khan haa been compelled to support his army and pay for tlie execution, of justice. Tile treaty of peace, Ed gut-1 hy the Khan before the departure of the Russian.?, stipu lates tiiat the war indemnity shall be paid in the following manner: The first two - years £15,'/X) a year; the second two years £17,000 a year, and LIFE.
