HABISBITE,G, Feb. 12, 1866.
• The Senate will not be in'sassion until M -
P. M. on Tuesday.
HOITSE.—The House convened at n this
evening. Numerbus petitions and the fol
lowing bills were presented:
One by Mr. Adair, incorporating the Com
monwealth Mining Company.
Qne by Mr. Thomas, providing for the
grading of Dock street, east of Third, and
another exempting the Children's Hospital
\from taxation, and another incorporating
the Leeson and Wetmore Mining Company.
Mr. De Haven presented a bill prohibit
ing farmers and hucksters from selling goods
on any_street in Philadelphia.
Mr: Freeborn presented a bill-incorpor
ating-the National Union Club of Philadel
phia, and another incorporating the Ruby
Mining Company.
Mr. Rams offered a bill authorizing the
Mayor to appoint the Inspector of Gas Me
ters in Philadelphia.
Mr. Ruddiman presented a bill for the
revision of tax assessments. (This is _Phila
delphia City Councils's bill.) Mr. Ruddi
man offered another authorizing the ap
paintinent of a phonographic reporter for
the District Courts i and another declaring
life estates to be estates of purchase instead
of limitation. ,
Mr. Lee presented a bill authorizing the
managers of the Frankford Lyceum to sell
real estate.
Mr. Crosland offered a bill authorizing the
Governor to appoint two Inspectors of Mines
in anthracite districts, and provide for the
safety of miners.
Mr. Quay called up an act amending tie
revenue laws ofthe State. The first section
requires every bank to pay a tax of ore per
cent. to the Commonwealth on each share of
stock. ;.The second section requires rail
roads canals and transporation companies,
which are not liable to a tax on incomes, to
pay a tax of three-fourths of one per cent.
upon their gross receipts to the Common
wealtb.[ The third section releases all real
estate from taxation for State purposes. The
fourth section authorizes the military loan
of 1861 to be paid off with the proceeds of
the abote.
The bill was passed to a third reading, but
did not have the requisite two-thirds in
favor ofi suspending the rules, and was laid
over. This is the bill sanctioned by the
State Treasurer, William H. ICemble, and
will undoubtedly add largely to the revenue
of the Siate, by making the great moneyed
corporations sustain their just share of taxa
tion, thus relieving real estate from its
heavy burdens: The bill will enable the
State Ticasurer to redeem a million of dol
lars annually of the State debt, and still
leave a surplus in the Treasury. The bill
would have passed finally and at once, but
for a desire of some of the members to offer
slight amendments. Adjourned.
Cuban Regulations Regarding Men of
The attention of Mr. Tassara, Minister
from Spain, has been arrested lay the state
ments in the press and in Congressional
details, that freedmen are captured and con
veyed to Cuba, and there sold as slaves.

Island of Cuba concerning colored persons,
hereto annexed, and affirms that they have
in all instances been carried into effect. No
complaint has• been made to the State De
partment of any sale or seduction of colored
persons from the United States into slavery,

duced there by Americans, they have been
promptly delivered up and sent back to
their homes.
TRAICSLATION.
" Instructions regulating the formalities
in respect to the arrival, movements and

abroad to this island, and published on the
Ist of April, in the year 1849:
Article a. The indiVidual of color, free
Gi slave, 'who may arrive, coming from a
foreign country,shill be immediately placed
in safe keeping abd with precautions that
may be suitable until he is taken aboard
again. If the house to whom he is consigned
give security for the payment of $l,OOO in
case of his leaving the vessel, he may live
on board, but that security shall not be can
celed until the re-exportation is verified by
the report of the Captain of the Post.
A Bald on a Ferry Boat.
A Brooklyn paper has the following: One
of the most daring and high-handed pro
ceedings ever recorded in the annals of
any city where there are laws and police,
was perpetrated about 9 o'clock, on Satur
day night, on one of the Rosevelt and South
Seventh street ferry boats• we understand,
the Arizona. About the hour above men
tioned, a number of thieves and rowdies,
said to be denizens of the sinks and slums
'which abound in the physically and po
litically fetid and abominable Fourth Ward
of New' York, came on board the ferry
boat. As soon as the boat was at a distance
out into the river sufficiently far for their
purpose, they contrived to , extinguish the
lights in the cabin. The tidieves, then, with
the utmost rapidity, went.; among the pas
sengers, rifling them of their pocket books,
money and whatever other, valuables they
could get. So dextrously did the thieves
ply' their vocation that the passengers were
not aware of what had occurred until they
reached South Seventh street and had
landed. The thieves, of course, were off,
and disappeared the moment the boat
touched the slip.

Execution of Murderer at Cleveland;
Ohio—Futile Attempt to Poisonhim
self.
About half-past one o'clock on Friday
Dr. folio W. Hughes, the convicted
murderer of Miss Taxnzon Parsons„ of
Bedford, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, wits
banged -in, the jail prison, Cleveland.
The execution attracted a large crowd
Of persons about the prison, where they
remained until after the sentence of the
law had been fulfilled, when they peace
fully retired. Dr. Hughes, the mur
derer, was a man of more than ordinary
ability in his profession, and held a
position for some time in the British
army. With his wife and family he
came to this country and settled in
Cleveland. Through some means he
became acquainted with Miss Parsons,
proposed an elopement and marriage,
and she, not knowing of his being
already married r consented. They came
to Pittsburgh, and were married at the
St. Clair hotel, where they lodged for a
few days as man and wife. The friends
of the injured young woman came to
this city, informed her how she had
been outraged, and persuaded her to in
stitute suit against him for bigamy.
Hughes was tried, convicted, and sen
tenced to pay a fine of five hundred
dollars and undergo one year's imprison
ment in the Penitentiary. On the
strength of petitions from Cleveland and
Pittsburgh, he was pardoned and re
turned to Cleveland. He sent his'wife
to her friends on the Isle of Man, and on
the 9th •of August he visited his victim,
Miss Parsons and insisted upon her
living with him. She refusing, he shot
her in the head,' killing her instantly.
When arrested he confessed the deed,
and said he did it for love. He was
convicted of the murder at the December
term, and all attempts to procure his
pardon were unavailing.
The prisoner Hughes was carefully
watched lest he might attempt suicide.
About eight o'clock Thursday morn
ing men entered the jail to set up the
gallows. The Doctor went down to the
scene in the corridor, and, after it had
been erected, mounted the scaffold, and
stood on the secured trap, leaning
jauntily againt one of the upright posts,
smoking a cigar with as much com
posure as General Grant. Returninc , 6 to
his cell he grew heavy and sleepy in his
chair, and at nine o'clock began vomit
ing violently. The guard instantly no
tified Sheriff Nicola, who summoned
Drs. Maynard and Cushing. They
caused his removal from the cell, and
ordered him to be exercised, that is,
walked to and fro, on the lower floor.
He soon rallied, after the crisis had
passed. He had taken an overdose of
poison (morphine, as he confessed to the
Sheriff), which had the effect to induce
the fit of vomiting, which saved his
life. How this was put in his possession is
not known, although it was easy for
some of his friends, who had access to
him, l to supply him with the drug. Nor
is it known when he took it, whether
at night, or in the morning when the
guard had gone down to wash.
At fifteen minutes to one o'clock,
yesterday, Hughes, accompanied by
Sheriff Nicola and his spiritual adviser,
Prof. Thome, appeared on the scaffold.
The culprit seemed completely un
nerved. After surveying the crowd for
a moment he requested prayer, when
the Rev. Thome deliverectan impressive
and earnest appeal to the throne of
grace in behalf of the doomed man.
Huphes then prayed in an earnest
manner for a few moments, during
which the Sheriff and lookers on were
moved to tears. Prayer having been
concluded, the wretched man braced
himself up,and addressed the spectators.
He said that Moses of old was the
- greatest murderer, but it was not just to
take his life as they did. He denounced
capital punishment in the strongest
terms, and claimed that the hanging of
a man was ridiculous. He contended
that the proper punishment would be
imprisonment under such regulations as
would work a reformation. He spoke at
some length in this strain, and con
cluded by bidding the spectators fare
well. _
Shortly after one o'clock Sheriff
Nicola informed the condemned that his
time had come, and the preparations for
the final scene were quietly made. The
feet of the wretched man were then
bound, the rope adjusted, and the white
cap drawn over his face. Everything
being in readiness at twenty-five minu
tes past one o'clock,the trap was sprung,
and the next instant the body of
James W. Hughes was hanging in the
air.
In Mallett's Northern Antiquities—a
scarce old book—he shows that the de
grees of cold at this time are much less
severe than formerly. The rivers Loire
and Rhone, in Gaul, were regularly
frozen over every year, so that whole
armies, with their carriages and baggage
could march over them. Even the
Tiber froze at Rome, and Juvenal says
that it was requisite to break the ice in
winter in order to come at the water of
the river. Many passages in Horace
suppose the streets of Rome to be full of
ice and snow; and Ovid assures us that
the Black sea was frozen annually. The
latter writer relates several circum
stances concerning that climate which
at present agree only with Norway
and Sweden. The forrest of Thrace
and Pannonia were full of bears and
wild boars, and the northern part of
Spain was little inhabited for the same
cause. Indeed all the ancients who
mention the climate of Gaul, Germany,
Pannonia and Thrace, speak of it as
'almost insupportable, and agree that the
ground was covered with snow the
greatest part of theyear, being incapable
of . producing olives,
grapes and most
other fruits. Mr. Mallet conceives that,
the forests being cleared away, the face
of the country cultivated, and the
marshy places drained, the moist ex
halations which generate cold must be
considerably lessened, and that the rays
of the sun must have a freer access to
warm the earth. In addition to the
general causes which insensibly effect
the destruction of forests, it was for
merly common to set them on fire in
order to procure fertile fields. One of
the Kings of Sweden was surnamed the
"Wood-Cutter," for having cleared vast
provinces by felling the trees with
which they were covered. Immense
forests were also thus cleared away in
Norway and Denmark.

Swindling through the Post Office.
The Washington correspondent of the
N Y. Evening Post says:; The Post
Office Department was conipelled, one
day last week to send back fourteen hun
dred letters to a swindler in New Jer
sey. The letters were estimated to, con
tain not less than $4,000, which had
been drawn from foolish people in vari
ous parts of the country. Under a regu
lation of the Poait Office'Department,
whenevermoney is fraudulenty obtained
from people through the post'office by
rogues, who assume fictitious names,the
letters are seized. The MaYors of New
York and Brooklyn having complained
to the department that a man in New
Jersey was making use of the Post Office
a detective was sent to the scene of oper
ations, who seized these letters. They
were forwarded here and a number of
them opened, and nearly every one con
tained from three to five dollars, and
some a still larger amount. Upon ex
amining into the facts it was found that
the person to whom the letters were ad
dressed was a real character, that he had
not assumed a fictitious name, and that
no law or regulation of the department
would justify the detention of the letters.
There was not the slightest doubt as to
the fraud, yet under the law it was con
sidered impossible to convict. The
guilty person, when charged with fraud,
claimed that at some time in the future
he expected to fill the orders sent to him
—and stated (which was true) that who
ever answered his circulars with money
took the risk, and that nobody could
assert that he did not intend to forward
the gifts promised. The department
ntends to call upon Congress for addi
tional legislation to met such eases of
swindling.
A DEAD MAN "TURNS Up."—Says
the Reading (Pa.) Gazette: Another
case of the dead coming to life has just
been brought to light in the Register's
Office of this county. A citizen of Read
ing, who enlisted in the early part of
the war, and from whom no informa
tion was had for some time, was given
up for dead. His supposed widow, in
order to draw a certain legacy, which in
the meantime became payable to the
husband, took out Letters of Adminis
tration on his estate, drew the legacy
and was again married immediately
thereupon. A few weeks after the
husband—not dead, but living—called at
the Register's Office, where he was in
formed that Letters of Administration
on his estate, had been granted to his
supposed widow; whereupon he insti
tuted legal proceedings against the Ad
ministratrix and her sureties in order to
recover back, not the wife,as he alleged,
but the legacy. This is the second case
of a similar nature that has octitirred in
the Register's Office of this county
within the last three months.
ENGLISHMEN CoMINII TO AMERICA..— A
London letter to the Boston Acl rcrti.cr says:
A visit to the United States is gradually be
ing accepted as a part of the education of b
gentleman who purposes to devote himsell
to political life. Peers' sons will soon be at,'
plentiful at Boston as they are in the season
at Baden or Rome. It is "the thing" to see
America. The young bloods of our artstoc
racy kindle at the thought of a trip to th•
United States with a glow which neither
Florence nor Mont Blanc can produce. In
a feW weeks will arrive in the Southern
States the heir to the dukedom of Argyll,
the young Marquis of Lorne, and will havr
the llon. Arthur Strati, the son of another
peer, and two young commoners, Mr. H.
Yates Thompon and Mr, G. Rollie Thompson
TheDu.keof Argyll, father of the Marquis of
Lorne was, I need not tell you, the fast
friend of the North throughout the civil
war, and his influence in the British Cabi
net did much to conduce to such neutrality
as Mr. Adams has acknowledged to have
existed. The young traveler is little more
than a lad. Very frequently have I seen
him with his father, listening to debates in
our House of Commons, or by himself in
the House of Lords, hearing his father's
carefully constructed addresses. Mr. Strutt,
who is also very young, is the son of Lord
Belper, a peer of recent creation, a mane
facturer of immense wealth, and of much
intelligence. When plain Mr. Strutt he was
a Trinitarian dissenter, but the peerage
works wonders in these matters,—only one
or two peers, like the earl of Zetland, for
example, having the courage to openly con
nect themselves with any other communion
'him the established church.
ROMANCE IN A SENATOR'S LI FE.—Frazer'S
Magazine tells the following story, but does
not mention the numl of its hero, who is
said to be Senator Lane, of Kansas. A dis
tinguished politician of Indiana, becoming
nterested in the movement for making
Kansas a free State, left his wife and re
paired to that territory, intending to return
soon. Becoming, however, identified with
the struggles of Kansas, the Senator stayed
away very long. His wife at length de
manded his return. He wrote back that it
was impossible to return. His wife waited
a little, and then wrote declaring that un
less he returned by a stated time, she would
sue for a divorce. The Senator made no
reply, but gave a glowing account of the
patriotic movement in which he bore an im
portant part.
The next letter he received was from the
clerk of a court in Indiana, informing him
that his wife had filed a bill, with another
from a lawyer offering to defend him. Tip
Senator wrote back to the lawyer as follows:
"Dear Sir: Yours to hand. My wife says
she will not stand my long absence. If I
were she I would not stand it either.
.1
shall offer no opposition to her suit. Yours,
&c., -." Two years later, when the
divorce had long been granted, the Senator
returned to Washington as Senator of the
free State of Kansas, visited his old home
in Indiana, and found his wife still bloom
ing and handsome, and surrounded by ad
mirers. With the rest he visited her from
time to time, became presently the accepted
lover, and was re-married to her.
THE CURSE or SCOTLAND.—In playing
cards the nine of diamonds is commonly
nicknamed the "Curse of Scotland," and
several reasons have been assigned for this
strange denomination. When the Duke of
York, who was shortly afterward James
11., took up his residence at Edinburgh,
and enlarged the palace of Holyrood, he
and his court introduced a new game there
called Comet, in which the diamond was
the most important card. The Scots, who
had to learn the game, lost tremendous
sums at it. and from that circumstance the
nine of diamonds was called the Curse of
Scotland. Another derivation is that the
nine of diamonds bore some resemblance
to the arms of the Dalrymples, and the Lord
Stair, a member of that family, was the real
Curse of Scotland. But a third derivation
is more modern, and much more striking,
though we cannot take upon ourselves to
decide that it is the most correct or right
one. It is said that the night before the
fatal battle of Culloden, the Duke of Cum
berland sent orders to General Campbell to
give no quarters to the soldiers of the Pre
tender—that this order being dispatched in
great baste, happened to be written upon a
card, and that card' the nine of diamonds,
from which time and circumstance ft has
gone by the appellation of , the Curse ,of
Scotland.
CHARLES S. BRADLER, a leading Demo

South Carolina—The Plantations—past
ness in charieston.
The Charleston Courier says: "A gentle
nian who is traveling in an official Capacity
through the, Southern ,States, for the pur
pose of making:a report on the agricultural
condition Of the country; called at our office
a few days since, and gave us some inter
esting information concerning affairs in'the
interior. So far as he was able to•discover,
the plantations were being worked profita
bly, and the planters appeared cheerful and
hopeful. It is thought the yield of cotton
this year will be fully one-half of that of
ordinary times. Should it prove to be such
the producers will be satisfied, as the ad
vance in price will off-set the decrease in
quantity. The freedmen generally have
entered into contracts and are behaving re
markably well. Pilfering and robbing has
nearly ceased. The prompt measures taken
by the military authorities to punish some
few offenders has had a salutary effect on
the freedmen as a class. The country is
gradually assuming an aspect of prosperity
and plenty.
"Business of all kinds in Charleston is
more lively than it was a month ago, and
the merchants are in better spirits. This
change has taken place, too, before \ the
heavy spring trade has really commenced.
Buyers from the country are coming in
gradually, and although they do not make
large purchases, they order sufficient quanti
ties of goods to give an air of life to the in
terior of stores and warehouses. The im
pression prevails in business circles that we
will have a very fine spring trade. During
the summer months it may po.sibly de
cline, but it will take a rebound in the fall
and give our merchants all they can conve
niently attend to. Of course all depends on
the quantity of cotton that is brought to
this market, and no time should be lost in
arranging for facilities to transport that
staple hither from all points and quarters
which formerly looked to Charleston as the
principal mart, We wish there was as
much truth as poetry in the report that one
thousand laborers had been employed to
rebuild Charleston."
Riot at Sulphur Springs, Illinois.
[Special Despatch to the Missouri Democrat.j
CAIRO, Jan. 29.—The Cairo Times has
been furnished the particulars of a riot
which occurred at Sulphur Springs, Wil
liamson county, 12 miles from Marion,
which in its effects has few parallels in the
history of the States. On the day named, a
man named McMahon, living on the border
of Johnson county, was at Sulphur Springs,
and during a political discussion with a Mr.
Dollinson, of that place, became greatly
excited, boasting that he could whip any
political opponent in the county. The loud
talking attracted a crowd and finally
some twelve or fifteen men commenced
fighting, and a number of them were
severely beaten with bludgeons. The fight
raged furiously for a few minutes, the par
ticipants exhibiting the ferocity of tigers
rather than the character of men, kicking
and stamping those who were knocked
down, and inflicting many serious injuries.
While the riot .was at its height, D, B.
Ward, said to be one of the most respectable
farmers of the county, drew a revolver and
discharged all the barrels in quick succes
sion and with fatal effect. One ball struck
a young man named McMahon, cousin to
the one who caused the difficulty, causing
his death in a short time, and another ball
killed William Burton. The first McMahon
was shot in the month and badly beaten.
Dollinson was also shot and beaten. Thos.
Wald. son of D. B. Ward, was severely
wounded in the forehead and side. Besides
these, three or four others, whose names we
could not learn, were wounded more or less
severely. The McMahon who was killed
had not participated in the riot, but was en
deavoring to quiet the parties when he was
shot. No arrests were. made, McMahon be
ing too badly wounded, but sent word to the
authorities that he would be in Marion to
day, And ask for a trial.
A VERY REMAREABLE Doo.—Our rea
ders have doubtless heard of the gigantic
dog taken to England some years ago by
Francis Butler and Henry Gardiner, of this
city. They exhibited the animal in Lon
don and at Windsor Castle, and finally
sold him to the Queen, who made a present
of him to her consort, the late Prince
Albert. Since then we had not seen a dog
tit to compare with the one in question
until the other day, when Gardiner ex
hibited one to us at his place in William
street, which will probably equal in size the
one sold to the Queen,and already surpasses
him in symmetry. It is a dog of twelve
months old, called Russ. He is a white,
smooth-haired dog, with a black muzzle
and black roof of mouth. He was bred in
Philadelphia, and already stands thirty-five
inches high at the shoulder, is seven feet
nine inches long, and fourteen and a hal:
aches across the chest. His weight, as he
runs about, thin in flesh, is 160 lbs. D.
lusty order he would weigh 200 lbs. Russ
is of the variety improperly called the Rus
sian or Siberian bloodhound. It is not a
true bloodhound, but is, in fact, the old dog
of the Danube. famous in history for his
encounters with wolves, wild boars and
bears, with whom he could deal single
handed. Russ is a remarkably tine speci
men for points as well as size. Though so
young, his bone and muscle are enormous.
His legs are very strong and true, and he iQ
light and active in his movements. Hi,-
head is superb, jaws strong, garnished
with formidable, even teeth, and fangs like
ivory stillettoes. He is broad between the
eyes, with plenty of room for a great vo
lume of brain; and his eye is lively and
fine. Altogether his aspect is noble, and
his countenance majestic. We recommend
our readers to see him, for he is a very fine
specimen of the old colossal breed, such a
one as Landseer would have been delighted
to paint.— Willces's AS'pirit.
