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: Tor $0 38 Auditor's foe 2 00 Collector's fee 2 no Xfe» Ooverunent as a Livery j Tom Myu t J* t A special dispatch to the Chicago Tri- Bocorder’af. ■ 1 bo Printer's fo.*..._ 2 SO Penalty 23 per cent io Total ; $s 48 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 00 608 Printer's foee at $3 CO....... 1,520 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.

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.

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. THE MODEL MANURE AUD PLANTER’S FRIEND.
