SINDAY MORNING, DEC. tt. ion.
Taxing Ocllnqvents In LonlsI-
ana.
By threats of civil outlawry and other
barbarous «i< vicon, the World says Kel-
1egg hn-t managed to extort a Rood deal
of money from the tax-pay era of Louisi-
uu, hut there sooins to bo no end of
linquent-tax lists in that unfortunate
Stab’- From one of Auditor Clinton’*
publications in a local journal the World
recently ehow.-d that nearly every tax
payer in the parish of St. Mary was de
linquent. One of the reaeons vhy tax
payers are delinquent ia very apparent
from a communication addressed by a
resident of Vermillion parish to -»^ther
local journal, the Cotton Boll. Thi* gen
tleman, on going to the county seat re
cently, found a delinquent-tat list in
whi h his name appeared charged with
33 e»nt.-. tbi i amount being hi* asaesa-
ment under a tax Icvu-d late in |872, of
winch lie had never been notified and of
whi eh he lia-1 no kuowl.dgo. Of coarse,
he had involuntarily and ohIirion*Jy be
come a civil outlaw under the nefarious
act of Kellogg's negro Legislature. He
hail also forfeited the sum of $8.10—
moro than twenty times tho amount of
the original tax—aa a further penalty for
delinquency. Tho hill presented by tba
collector of delinquent taxes was as fol
lows:

Kellogg's lax laws aro beautifully ar
ranged for 1 lie benefit of Kellogg's offi
cials. Tax■ payers aro allowed to bocomo
delinquent by default of notification; the
fr-s ore pile 1 up and must bo paid in ad
dition to tlw tax in order to escape tho
<q>erntion of the civil outlawry bill. The
list in question contained 60S names
charged with delinquent taxes to the
amount of $3,083 Mi. The money penal
ties on this amount were os follows :
008 Auditor's fees at $3 $1,21600
60S Collector's fees at $2 1,216 00
60S Recorder's fees at $1 CO 912 00

Penalty, 25prct. on $2,688 46... 672 11
Total costs $5,536 11
This exhibit would sufficiently explain
why delinquent tax-payers are so numer
ous in Iiouisinna, even if the peoglo were
not averse, os they undoubtedly aro, to
paying Kellogg’s assessments. Accord
ing to Kellogg's own statement, recently
published in quo World, the moro impor
tant assessments aro collected by means
of tho grinding machinery which has boon
set in operation to collect them. Tax
payers are thrown into involuntary de
linquency by tho intentional neglect of
tho revenuo officials, who grow fat on tho
extortionate penalties of delinquency.
A Sail Jteiuinlscence of the
Developers.
Evans’ (Raleigh) Independent states
Upon good authority that Littlefield—tho
notorious scamp who, a few years since,
ran a "rum-shop” at Raleigh, whoro
there were free drinks for tho members
of tho Legislature—is now in Florida
penniless. He figured extensively in tho
business of getting through the Legisla
ture tho bonds that wero squandered,
and which tho Stato is now endeavoring
to repudiate. Tho scamps who plundered
tho Southern States under tho protection
of military rule and tho patronage and
protection of the Federal Government,
have been mpidly coming to grief. Many
of them, says tho Richmond Dispatch,
have fallen by tho hands of their own
friends; and a great body of them havo
come to sorrow, with no way of os cape
open to thorn. They have none at the
South, and if they go back to their native
North they have no liopo of social cor
diality and aid there. Northern people,
under the impulse of feelings excited by
the war, may have enjoyed somowhatour
alllictious through the frauds and cruel
ties practised upon us. But they cannot
admire tho unprincipled adventurers who
were tho instruments of our torture. It
is somo consolation to know that those
hod men aro coming to reverses well do-
served, yet hardly equal to tho retribu
tion due to their crimes.
A Spiritualistic Miracle.
A remarkable easo of apparent death
is now attracting great attention at
Avon, N. Y. A woman has been lying in
that village for five weeks without giv
ing any signs of life whatever, and tho
remarkable thing about it is that she
predicted her present condition several
uicnflu ago. Her name is Eleanor Bon-
Uuy. She is unmarried, and has been an
inmate of the house of L. O. Preston, a
farmer residing about a mile and a half
wost of the village, for moro than eight
years. She has been a reputed clairvoy-
aut for a long time, and an intimate
friend of Mrs. Jennie C. Dutton, a clair
voyant phyi ieian of Rochester, N. Y. She
had stated several times in months
post that at two o’clock on tho morn
ing of the 11th of November, she
should go into a trance of very long
duration, in order to prove to the un
believing the principle of Spiritualism.
She was to prove that a person could
die, tho soul bo completely separated from
tho body, tho first stages of decomposi
tion even sot in, and then, by miraculous
power, bo restored to life again in all re
spects as she was before. She also stated
that her body would lose 50 pounds in
weight, which would be indicated by the
ringing of bells, and that when the soul
had entirely separated from the body,
tho house would be violently shaken.
Having pledged her friends not to have
her body interred, and enjoined them not
to touch her, she went into the state pre
dicted 'exactly at the appointed time,
whereupon the house was shaken as she
foretold. The bells rang as sho predicted,
and her woight had diminished about 50
pounds, her usual weight being about 208
pounds. She lies on her back, slightly
turned to one side. Only a few of her
friends aro allowed to enter the room,
and the coroner has been urged to look
into tho matter, but nothing lias thus far
been done. A Rochester physician—not
a Spiritualist—has visited the room, and
declares the body dead. There is a pecu
liar odor in the room, but he thinks it
•does not arise from decomposition. The
friends believe that Miss Bonney is dead,
“but confidently expect that her soul will
return. Several strange phenomena have
occurred in connection with the affair;
for example, Mrs. Dutton was taken tick,
soon after visiting the room, and for 17
days lived without food, drink or sleep.
The whole story, of course, looks absurd
to most people, but Hie Rochester Demo
crat, which professes to hare obtained its
information from responsible persons, de
clares that tho facts are notorious in the
neighborhood of Avon.
bunc says when President Grant, in
last message to Congress, expressed
hope that the several Slates In the
Union would provide homes at Washing
ton for their Senators, it was not known
that the Government was running a hugs
livery-stable for the benefit of the Cabi
net-Ministers sad their families; bnt
is a fact, and the proofs are being pro
duced. The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, which is investigating the case
President Grant's nominee for Chief Jus
tice, has been put in possession of the
fact that the family of Attorney General
Williams are indulging in the use of
fine landanlet purchased with money ap
propriated from the contingent fund of
the department of Justice. It has also
leaked out that this elegant equipage
manned by a driver and a footman
livery, who figure on the pay-roll of the
same department as messengers.
It is also a fact, os your dispatches
have shown, that several Cabinet officers
their chief assistants and favorite clerks
•ns provided for in a like manner. The
family of Postmaster-General Ores well
•re accused of driving behind a $1,700
span of horses recently purchased with
money taken from the contingent fond of
tho Post-office Department, and, not be
ing a selfish man, Mr. C res well is credited
with
five<
Six carriages, with heroes to match,
ars credited io tho TroaswryDeportment.
Secretary Delano gets along with only
three. It is said tho War Department
has the same number, but, as the
head of tho latter bureau has recently
married again, it is expected a handsome
span of Kentucky thoroughbreds will
have to be paid for out of the contingent
fund. Not only are our ministers and
their familioe thus handsomely provided
for in tho way of horses, and vehicles,
and drivers, and footmen, but the Gov
ernment is called upon to furnish feed
and shelter for the animals, and for the
convenience of those who nso the same,
stables have been leased, one being lo
cated on D street, near Fourteenth, and
the other on Pennsylvania avenue, at tho
foot of Capitol Hill.
Of course the Government would not
be so mean as to cease its beneficial work
at this point. Horses cannot live with
out outs and hay, and Cabinet officers and
their families are not the kind of people
who rido in untidy vehicles; therefore
fodder and grooms for the animals, and
stablemen to look after the vehicles are
carriod on tho Government pay rolls, and
paid for out of the contingent fund. This
abuse, grown to tho enormous extent
hinted at above, is said to havo hod its
origin within two years, and to bo an in'
vention of the Post-office Department.
About two years ago. Postmaster
General Creswell allowed the purchase,
out of the contingent fund, of a horse
and wagon to convey tho mails of Con
gressmen between tho Capitol and tho
Post-office. Very soon it was found
necessary to buy a horso and buggy for
the man who delivers notices of the non
payment of postage. This was followed
by other purchases of horses and car
riages, and finally a stable was leased for
the shelter of this property, and a man
hired to take care of it. This man con
vinced tho Postmaster that it would
greatly facilitate the business of tho
stable if he were allowed tho use of a
trotter and a light road wagon. His wish
was gratified.
Being a far-sighted man, ho suggested
to his superior that the interests of the
Department demanded other purchases
of horses and buggies, until finally the
Postmaster General found himself ridinj_
to his Department every morning in a
Government vehiclo behind Government
horses. Somehow the other bureaus dis
covered tho trick, and the result is the
establishment of an extensive livery-
stable run by tho Government out of tho
contingent funds of the Departments. It
is also stated that several of tho Judges
of tho Supremo Court have as body-ser
vants persons drawing pay from tho Gov
ernment and carried on the rolls as mes
sengers
A Bovarlaa Tragedy — The Strange
Story of a Poacher.
In the Bavarian mountains, near Par-
tonkirchen, the traveler often meets a
young woman with hollow cheeks and
wild eyes, whoso rich, blond hair floats
loosely around her head. Sho does not
attempt to injure any one, but flees bc-
foro every wayfarer. A few years ago
sho was the brightest and prettiest young
girl in the mountain district. Sho be
came tho brido of Joseph Falkncr, a stal
wart young fellow. In time tho union
was blessed with two children, yet sho
could not proTail upon her husband to
abandon a poacher's existence. One
night when ho hail gono out with his
rifle on his shoulder on a marauding ex
cursion, ho was followed by a party of
forost keepers who sought to capture
him. One who ventured too near was
shot by Falkner, and tho others took to
flight. Falkner hovered around tho vil
lage after this occurrence, and in a few
days was joined by his wife and children.
Tho police and foresters now began to
hunt vigorously for tho outlaw.
Falkner started for the Austrian bor
der, carrying his four-year old boy with
one hand and supporting his wife, Anno
Maria, with the other. She carried the
youngest child in her arms. One even
ing daring their flight, as they were rest
ing in tho forest, the quick ear of Falk
ner detected the sound of horses’ hoofs
npou the roadway which led by the copse
in which they were concealed. Hi3 wife
ftlii]drftn were sleeping. He touched
Marie’s arm, ‘‘the gendarmes,” ho said.
Sho awoke, and hor affrighted movement
roused tho sleeping infant on her bosom.
Tho child began to cry and the efforts of
the mother to quiet it by pressing it to
her boeotn only caused it to cry the loud-
The gendarmes had halted and were
listening. Falkner snatched the infant
from its mother’s aims and placed his
hand over the little mouth. For ten
minutee the pursuers halted by the road
side, for ten minutes the father’s firm
hand suppressed the sobbing of the child.
At length the gendarmes rode on, and
the mother sought with her warm lips to
infuse life into the pale ones of her baby.
Hi vain, the child was dead.
Falkner cried "Oh;” he put his bey on
tia s-i-v o-nA Marie followed with the lit
tle corpse. At daybreak the border was
reached. They encountered on employe
of the Austrian customs. "Have you
anything to give up t" he asked. "Noth
ing,” aaid Falkner, quietly. His wife,
however, stepping forward, showed the
dead rhiLI, whom she had carried under
her apron, said: "I have some one
to hand over, for this man is a murderer.
He has killed his own son.” Falkner
was arrested, and ho is now in prison.
Wi« older boy has found a friend and pro
tector in the Tyrol- Marie lost her rea
son, and either aits motionless in her
room or wanders on the mountains and
through the forest. She takes but little
nourishment, and will soon die.
WsasutOTOx, December 23.—The Na
tional Republican this morning prints ^
following in regard to Tom Soott’I
schemes before Congress:
A rumor is being circulated among
members of Congress that CoL Scott loft
in this dty last weak th# daft of a bill
to ad the Northern Paeffle and Texas
Pacific railroads, providing for a by
the government to the two reed* of fifty
million dollars in bonds, or twenty-fire
million dollars to aach. It is »!■" ru
mored that Senator Wiadom, of Minne
sota, is to engineer the movement in the
Senate, and that a «wiU^«8i»i of West
ern and Southern interests is now being
effected in Philadelphia and New York to
be ready for action immediately after
holidays. Twenty-eight Senators are al
ready claimed to have been secured for
the measure. Mr. Houghton, Represen-'
tativc from the southern district of Cali
fornia, says be will favor aid to the Texas
Pacific in sufficient amount to enable the
company to complete its rood to Fart
Worth, so ms to make its Texas money
and land grant subsidies available. This
will probably be a middle course proposed
as a compromise.
Thi Osraxi Wrncxss in the Tich-
borkl Casa.—The trump witness of "the
claimant” has come to grief. Jean Luie,
supposed to be an Ingenious Swede, who
was steward of the Osprey, of New York,
in 1864, has turned out to be a ticket-of-
leave man and a hired perjurer. The de
fense laid their plan very skillfully for
the production of this remarkable wit
ness. One of the turning points of the
trial depended upon their ability to prove
that part of the crew of the shipwrecked
Bella were picked np by an American
schooner called the Osprey; that among
the boat load so rescued was Roger Tich-
borne, and that at least some one who
saw him on board the Osprey recognized
tho claimant to be identical with the
wandering heir of the Tichborne estates.
To all these points did Jean Luie faith
fully bear testimony, and though he made
a'very poor show in cross-examination,
the admirers of the stout party at tho
bar set that down to the oonfusiou of a
"simple sailor” under the unaccustomed
ordeal of the lhgal rack. The prosecution
had been led to understand that they
were to be confronted by a witness be-
longing to tho Osprey, of New Bedford,
and so bad brought to London the cap
tain, mate and log of that vessel for 1854.
When they found that it was an entirely
different craft which, it was claimed, had
rescued the boat’s crew of the Bella, they
were naturally unprepared with^hidencc
in rebuttal, and Joan Luie cbtai^pHcon
sequently a certain kind of success. Now,
that he has been sent to penal servitude
again, and has declared that he was in
vited and urged to fill the port ho did.,
wo should imagine that the claimant's
chances of following Kim were considera
bly improved.

Following a Back to Sea.
Tallahassee Floridian, j
During the recent camp hunt on St.
James’ Island by some of our citizens,
an incident occurred which is perhaps
without a parallel in the annals of hunt
ing, and deserves tf> be recorded. A large
buck, closely pursued by that famous
stag hound. Old Ring, belonging to Mr.
Hopkins, took water, and headed right
out to sea,- the dog, without hesitation,
baldly followed him in his voyage over
tho "dark and treacherous waves.” They
were watched with intense interest by
the hunters until each was a mere speck
upon the snrfooe ot tho ssa, and until they
ws finally and totally led io vtaw. After
sometime, when it was suroased that
both dog and deer bad fou»T a watery
«nd perhaps bloody grave, in mortal com
bat, or been devoured by sharks, a small
object was discovered, which proved to
be Old Ring returning from his long swim,
much exhausted, but reaching the shore
in safety. Bnt to the greater surprise of
the spectators, after a time the deer also
appeared in sight, making right for shore,
on nwhisr which h# was shot down by
one of thennntere.

Company
MANUFACTURED BY
Langdale’s Chemical Manure
(LIMITED.)
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, ENGLAND.
Has the following Powerful Recommendations for Planters
It is a genuine English made Manure, tho only one in the market, and manu
factured by a company having a capital of $1,250,000, which sells 40,000 tons annu
ally, and has tho most extensive works of tho kind in Great Britain, which have
been in operation 21 years. The Langdale, therefore, has a good pedigree and is no
experiment.
It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for tho promotion
of vegetable life, and especially of cotton, than any other fertilizer offered in tho
South. It is the best An 1 efest Cotton Manure in tho market.
Tho analysis given with the Manure when sold will be guaranteed. There shall
be no mistake about the genuineness of tho article, nor tho good faith of tho vendors.
It Is tho cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of uso in
becoming plant-food, or by chemical action on tho soil, producing the same. Tho
test of cheapness i3 not tlio price, but tho actual worth of tho article purchased.
Low-priced Manure cannot contain efficient quantities of pure and valuablo chemi
cals, which can alone give wo; th to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. Tho
Langdalo is as low in price as is consistent with the uso of the best ingredients, and
a fair commercial profit on its cost.
Tho employment of powerful machinery in mixing and pulverizing tho ingre
dients prepares every particle for service, and prevents troublo in using. Tho Lang-
dalcis unequalled in this respect, aud impresses every ono who sees it ns a perfectly
manipulated Manure.
In its composition and preparation it is tho result of careful scientific research
and experiment, confirmed by practical application for a quarter of a century. It
will bo maintained at its present high standard, and is thus what planters havo
long wanted - a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure.
