As there are less 1 iian y'5,0 voters, white and black, in the Mate, taking the last Presidential election sn a test, it follows that ea h voter's pro portion of the debt is over 160.

Tut: tato tax on personal property by the last Auditor General's report yielded over a half million of dollars. This tax is maiuly produced by the assessment of tho horses, mules and cattle of the farmers and workingmen of tho State. Money at in terest produces but a very small amount of Ibis tax,, as it evades taxation by a conve nient forgctfulness to return it. But the j h or man's cow cannot be hidden from the nysessor on his annual lounds. A bill to repeal tho tax upon cattle, horses, and in ales was, on Monday last, as we learufroin t'-.e Uanitbuig iutroducediuto the fenate by the Hon. William A. Wallace. 'I his is a step for the relief cf that interest vhich should first be taken care of by the la- making power of the State. Although this repeal will aid in reducing the reve j ties of the commonwealth, it is for tho iu-t-. dt f tho whole people. In our I.:cal dejartxuent will be found a naicmeiit of the vote polled in this county, t u Friday last, for and against the Local plion law. The returns are taken from t ie oilicial papers in the Frothouotary'a -.lice, with the exception of the borough of l.oretto, where the majority only is given, tne returns from that place not having yet loon received. It will be been that tho ..tu cast falls about tiro thousand short of toe full vote of the county, and v.l.e'n we tuink if the furious snow storm that pro vailed during the entire day. we are sur prised that tho veto was as large as it is. Ja the different boroughs the entire .vote, or neatly so, was polltil, while in most of tne townships not more than one-half tho v tcis made an euoit to get to the election. It would be idle to speculate as to what tho iisult would havo been had the full vote of the county been out.

As to the cnilt if all the persons accused, there can be no reasonable and honest ' doubt. The evidence adduced against thorn . iu the course of the protracted inquiry, is quite snflicient to curry conviction to every : candid mind, if not to force it even upon every uucar.did ai:d ilinhouost one. Ik-oce the eil'oit of the committee, in its disingen : nous Jind impotent report, to excuse cer- tain leading Congressmen, clearly convict . . " . - . . ed of having bseu bribed w ith CreaiC Mo hiiier stock, on the pretence that they were j ignorant of the criminal nature of the transaction, is po obviously absurd as to be ridiculous. Thoso members not only knew that lin y were being bribed, but they tho't they had effectually secured themselves against exposure, and the odium of their case has only been aggravated by the de testable prevarication and peijary by which they have tried to ilieeire their judges and the people, and to escape the just conse quences of their crime. Nor does it help them at all to have their gross prostitution of a highly honorable and important trust attributed to their stupidity rather than their want of virtue. If they have not sense enough to distinguish so palpable an instance of bribery a that to which they were willing parties, they surely are intel lectually and morally incompetent to sit in Congress and legislate upon the great cou- ! cerns of this nation. As for Mr. Colfax I i - .. ii.:..i. l : ... iw. lilt 1C e.l. v. llilllk, uc J v : n. . I ' u vii.il .iu was entirely privy and consenting to the foul scheme which has covered him with everlasting infamy. And he, above any other c impani 'U in his guilt, has made himself supremely contemptible by the .,.elcjJtll vi.i u; luiocci.e manner in which ho has sought to avoid his doo.n by thc fat.V.Wt Koit of lyu,-, and attempts to defeat tiuth confusing dates, facts and liguies that would disgrace the most bung ling witness subornc d to cheat a Quaiter Sessions jury. Fvru the confession forced from him by tho dire exigencies of his sit uation, that ho accepted gifts of three, if not four thousand dollars, from a Mr. Nos bitt, of 7ew York, who was a Government contractor at the time and whom Colfax declares he scarcely k:i ?w, shows the "ico President to be deplorably destitute of a gentlemanly sense of honor and self-respect. No man of the right sort of spirit and a due appreciation of the dignity and respon sibility of the exalted office hel l by Mr. Colfax, would accept naked gifts of large sums of money from a stranger for elec tioneering purposes, or any other use, and thereby place himself under a personal and j'olitical obligation, that might possibly, at any time, impair his indejiondonee and compromise his integrity as a member of Congress. But Colfax tolls the world that he did this three or f.nH- several times, and uA :ll"P i:f tlu. lOiioiiin tli:ii Iiiu . i?wl ;wl in that respect was near to voluntary self ilebauchery by acceptance of pccuuiaiy fa vors, from indifferent persons, without any expicss consideration whatever, as any two thin,; t-n.ii which are closely related and yet not the tame. . . Iu fine, the case of Colfax is so bad, so miserably hopeless and immitigable, that even the leading i apetsof Ids own political party can only sneer at and commissei ate hiiu. The New York Uvotinj Post, Mr. Bryant's paper, thus (-peaks of the fallen statesman "We are sorry for poor Mr. Colfax. If he w ants the innocence he has ; the weakness of a child, but of a child too ! old or too imbecile to learn. The pity we feel for hira is akin to that which we feel j for partial idiocy. It is provoking, and I one's hands almost itch to inllict deserved punishment, but there is so much of inanity in thea-ommiUal of the fault that pity for him who persists in committing it is the i predominating reeling. As to argument or j explanation, 3Ir. Colfax's case, like Mr. Patterson's, is past all that. It does not in I the least matter what he says. He may i have a new story for every day, and a new version of that btory every hour ; he r.iay bring iu as witness to their truth all the ladies with w hom lie is acquainted and who ... . . .... n,;t- lu i s mii lies . tie ., ' m:ir -Hll imori Hi nic ..,4, 1 - u i i i ...V...V.-, i-uii i a,n as wen as maternal, of all the young Schuvler Col faxes, who outnumber in the Western States by many hundreds the young Geo.

The only feeling we can possibly have about his oa?e is a mild and feeble curiosity as to what he r.iay say next." Among tho additional indications'' of Colfax is one from Mrs. Richardson, formerly Mora: land, a hidy under some obligations to Colfax in the matter of her Indiana divorce. She relates that Colfax was a icgular stipendiary of Nesbitt, who sent him a quarterly allowance. ( trtain- a draft, v. hich v. as the allegation of Colfax, 4 Hermit.

How he liveel or what he lived on, no one knew, but the obi residents i ! that part weli re member the queer man who "dwelt with solitude, and walked the rocks and forost like a wolf," and his coming and going was watched with eager interest by all who knew the story of his strange manners and still stranger life.

It is scarcely ever within the province of a news paper to chronicle a more sickening acci dent than that which occurred at Newburg, N. Y., on Tuesday of lait week, to James Miliigan, who was drawn feet foremost through two massive iron rollers only three anil a half inches apart and which are used in flattening bars of steel for the plates of saws. Mr. Milligan was employed as a blacksmith's helper in tho steel rolling mill of Wheeler, Madden ic Clemson. He was climbing upon a boarel laid across rods over the rollers, m euder to placa in posi tion a wrench which is used to regulate the space through which the heated steel and iron are. passed, when the board suddenly tipped, causing him to fan. Jlis lect struck upon th side in front ef tho rollers, which were revolving at th rate of sixty times a ruinate, and were instantly caught between them. The poor follow had only time to utter the single cry of "oh !" while his body, feet foremost, was being drawn thro' a space of only three and a half inches. Hardly a second had elapsed befoie the body was a shapeless mass ef flesh, blood, bouet, and cl.it lies, piesenting, as it did, the most horrible anil sickening sight that eyes could look upon. It dropped from the rollers alimpandquivcriiigmass, and when st raightened out covered a space of ground that two men would occupy. Not a whole or perfect bone remained in his body, and many bones were protruding through the flesh and clothing at different places. The head was a fearful sight to look upon. It had gone through the rollers face upward, and it came out completely flattened and partly turned. Foolkd Him In Pontiac. Mich., a Mr. Leslie J. Arnold recently - committed suiciue under somewhat singular circum stances. 1 lis parents were well-to-do peo ple, be was their ouly son, and naturally a great favorite with their. One day he said he wished to go to Detroit, aud his father gave him money for that purpose lie went and returned again in a day or two, bringing with him a large traveMag trunk, with which, as he informed hi parents, he intended to go about and see the world. That ovcuing he left the house, and was never seen alive iu it again except by Nettie Hammond, who tells a eingular story of the affair. She says that after leaving home Leslie came to her father's houwe anil invited her to commit suicide with him. She agreed to elo so, but only in Leslie's chamber at his home. Thither they went, and Nettie say she took more morphine than her lover did, but the d c tors says the took none at all.
