KELLOGG'S DESPERATE THREATS.
The New York World advises our
people in the following words:
This is the first instance in thehistory
of our thirty-seven State Governments
in which a governor has been constrain
ed by his fears and necessities, to issue
a menacing proclamation requiring the
payment of taxes. It betokens an al
ready empty treasury and no means to
fill it. Kellogg has been butlittle more
than two months in his bogus govern
orship, and in spite of the ready advance
of their taxes by his few adherents he
is constrained by his distresses and ap
prehensions to flourish and crack his
lash over the shoulders of the tax-payers.
By fulminating this unexampled proc
lamation he advertises his weakness
and fears. He can borrow no money,
for his government is so notoriously
illegal that no lender would expect
payment. If he should undertake to
sell property for taxes, there would be
no buyers, because an illegal Govern
ment could not give a valid title. Hence
he is reduced to the necessity of resort
ing to bluster and threats. Having al
ready got all he can collect from the
few property holders among his own
partisans, he tries to intimidate the
weak-minded of his opponents, and
scare them into furnishing the money
without which his usurpation must
soon collapso and perish. His procla
mation is like a signal gun at sea fired
by a pirate ship that is about to be on
gulfed in the waves.
The advantages of the people of Lou
isiana for escaping the payment of taxes
to support this usurpation are great and
manifest. Its opponents comprise five
sixths of the property holders of the
State. They alone possess the means of
buying property offered to be sold for
taxes, and their hostility to Kellogg and
his crew will prevent them from ever
bidding a dollar on such property. No
man will bid on that of his neighbor,
and he feels asured that in return no
neighbor will bid on his. As for buyers
out of the State, they would be repelled
by the inability of the Kellogg Govern
ment to give a legal title, and by the
indignant hostility of every neighbor
hood against such morcenary Interlo
ping. If the State governments could
support themselves, like the Federal
Government, by indirect taxation, this
form of resistance would not be easy.
When duties are laid on imported
goods, or an excise on whisky and to
bacco, every purchaser pays the tax,
and the people can protect themselves
only by refusing to consume the taxed
articles, as our patriot forefathers did E
in the Revolution. But happily this
mode of taxation does not prevail in
our State Governments. State taxes
are direct; they are laid on property, 3
not on cousumption; they are paid im
mediately into the hands of the collector,
not mixed up with the prices of com
modities. There is no other penalty
for non-payment than the distraint and
sale of property, and property cannot
be sold when there are no buyers. Kel
logg's supporters are chiefly the negroes
who pay no taxes themselves, and are
too poor to purchase the property of
their white neighbors even if they
could get the feoe simple and agood title
by paying one year's taxes.
It is obvious that the Kellogg Gov
ernment must come to an early end if
the united property-holders of Louisi
ana passively withhold the supplies,
and keep scornfully away from all auc
tion sales advertised by Kellogg's col
lectors.
Till'H NEW SWINSS EXODI'I.
The Swiss immigrants who now be- '
gin to arrive in this city may be regar
dod as the advance guards of a move
meat which is probably destined to add ,!
to our already diversified popoulation
an immense number of the most hardy,
frugal and industrious people in the
world. At present these immigrants
arrive in small parties of from fifty to a
hundred. A company of forty-four
arrived a few days ago en route to join
a large colony of their countrymen
which has been established in Grundy
county, Tennessee. Other, but smaller,
colonies have been formed in other
parts of that State and in Virginia.- c
These colonies are all doing well, and c
the immigrants appear to be satisfied t
with their condition and prospects. The r
knowledge of their prosperity will no I
doubt exercise an important influence
on their countrymen,and tend to swell I
the tide which is now for the first time t
beginning to flow from Switzerland to
the United States. So far the Swiss t
manifest a decided preference for the c
Southern States, where they are heart- ' t
ily welcomed as a valuable addition to
the population.-N. Y. Bulletin.
George Francis Train has at length
been declared insane, and Judge Daly,
of New York, is now considering what
dlisposition to make of him. It i~ only
lately that Train's insanity has become
pronounced. For years he has kept
himself before the public by eccentric
and erratic actions, particularly by urg
ing his claims to the Presidency, but
there has hitherto been a method in his
madness, which was the means ofi
much money-making. Very recently
he has become violently blasphemous
and an apostle of free love.
Lieutenant Fredl. G;rant has been nas

DETAILS OF THE BANK OF ENGLANDI
FORGEBT.
r -
London papers of the third and fourth I .
are at hand with the following details 1
of the great forgeries on the Bank of 1
England:
It was discovered on Saturday that I
bills to an enormous amount had been
forged upon all the principal houses in
the city of London, and that these bills i
had been discounted at the West End t
D branch of the Bank of England in Bur- (
lington Gardens, which dote an entirely I
different kind of business from the c
patent establishment in the city. It is f
intended for convenience of gentlemen
and ladies and West End tradesmen
who might find it inconvenient to Jour- 1
ney to the city in order to transact their r
occasional business. It is not, therefore, I
ordinarily concerned with large bill I
transactions of the city commission, I
and in consequence is less bound by v
strict regulations in dealingr with any I
business of that naturoe which might 8
accidentally be brought to it.
The conspirators must have been
aware of this, and they laid their plans I
for approaching the Bank of England b
by this weaker portion of its defences. 11
S~tarren, an American, who lanaged I
the plot, was in no hurry and took care s.
to gain good feeling before he ventured t
on his ultimateonterprise. lie behaved 1
for some time past like an ordinary
customer of good resources. lie drew
upon his balance and nenewed it, but
always at a good figure. After a while
he deposited some bills; they were good 1
and genuine bills; still he was careful
not to be hasty, and ire continued his
transactions with the bank until lihe
had acquired a reputation of a person i
engaged in a legitimate commerce and
thoroughly trust-worthy.
At length the mnonrout came for the
presentation of forged bills. Threy were d
discounted without hesitation, and the
authors of the fraud had to all appear
ancessucceeded safely in pocketng about
£100,000. All these arrangemnents were
masterpieces of ingenuity and patience,
but the bills themselves must have re
quired the greatest amount of labor.
In the first place, aulny largo fIrms,~
upon whom the bills purported to
be drawn, are in the habit of using a
peculiar kind of paper, with certain
water marks and printed matter. All
this would have to be imitated, andt as
the bills weore drawn on more than one
firm, there must have been several such
imitations. There remained the draw
ing of bills anti the affixing. of signa
tures, and each bill must have required
a series of feats in successful forging. tl
Some bills were backed by several ac
ceptors, so that there might easily be
as many as half a dozen single bills;
yet the bills were so perfect that not c
one of them was questionedonnd ol the
ground of the acceptance not appearing
genuine.
But the mnen who had exerted a skill,
foresight and perseverenco sufficient to
insure un hesitating acceptance of forgedr
bills could not escape on a trivial blun
der which revealed the plot. They 1
presented two bills onil which thie dlate
of acceptance hail been omitted. In- U
quiry was of course uInade of tfie firem
whose accepetance was thus undated.
It was dicovered that the bill was not
genuine, annd the whole series were
then found to bo forgeries. l1 ow mluch
further the plot would have been car
riied it is imllpossille to say. Advertise
nlents publishtcl caution hankers, bro
kers and all other persons against deal
ing in a number of United States live
twenty, tren-fortyand funded loan hbonds
anrounting to$Zl37,000l,thlly, it isalleged,
having been acquired out of the profits
of the forgery. The loss of the bank of H
England is stated at £50,000. The t
liothschilds is mentioned as one of the A
firms on which forged drafts were t
drawn, but no othler names are given. t,

SUSTAINING TfHE KELLOGG FRAUD.
From the Union Record we have the
following manly counsel:
While there is no earthly means by
which we can, at the present, get rid of
the Kellogg usurpation, we can refuse to
give it any support. WVo can refuse to
contribute anything toward it in the
Way of taxes. It cannot live without
bur money-indeed it lives for our
money. Withhold that from it, and
it will soon come to grief. We notice
that the movements of the tax resist
ance assoclation in New Orleans has
already alarmed the chief conspirator.
He gives vent to his uneasiness through
what is called a proclamation warning
the people against refusing to pay taxes.
We are not suprised at this. How
natural it is for the wolf when he sees
his prey slipping from his paw, to give
vent to his disappointed feelings by a
savage howl I So it is with Kellogg,
the slightest prospect of loosing his
prey, brings from his ravenous lips a
threatening howl. Let our people take
no notice of his threats, but, in every
parish in the State, meet in counsel;
form into associations, act in concert
as one man, and resolve not to pay one
cent of tribute to the vile usurpers.
If we are united we can accomplish
good. We cannot individually. Unless
the people will come together, and
agree to act In concert, there will be no
alternative but to meet the demands of
the Kellogg tax collectors, and lot the
government of our choice dissolve into
nothingness. Which we calnot afford
to do, if, for no other reason, because
all hope of having our rights secured
by Congress is not entirely gone. It is
true Congress atUourned leaving us in
the hands of Grant, but it did not recog
nize the Kellogg government. Since
the a(Uournment of Congress, the Senate
has booen in extra session and it still
refuses to recognize either the Kellogg
or Fusion government, by not admit
ting either P'lnchback or McMilleon to a
seat In the Senate, but have expressly
deferred the matter till the regular
session in Decemnber next. Now if we
permit the Fusion govornnont to dis
solve, and give in our voluntary adho
sion to the Kellogg usurpation how can
we hope to be heard in Congress at its
regular session? So every considers
tion ofself-respect, manhood, patriotisim
and Interest demand that we give no
support to the Kollogg usurpation, only
as enforced at the point of the bayonet I

''I donl't want any of it ini mine," lie
said rather abruptly.
"Is that the general feeling ?"
"Yes; you can't lind one Canadian in
twenty who would consent to annla-.
