At the seme time they exonerated the drugiist who sold the seidlitz powder, and the clerk who had Leen under arrest Some circumstances which appeared in the examination before the Coroner's jury, and which have hitherto escaped attention, seem Yo us worthy of comment. Mr. Spicer | died on Sunday, at about a quarter or twenty minutes past four o'clock | in the afternoon, Dr. Bartlett, who attended | apon tl first called, from the op: | posite ide of the street, at a fow minutesafter | four, A brother of the deceased testified that Mr. Spicer, on Saturday—the day previous— while out riding, complained of feeling mean. On Sanday—the day of Mr, Spicer’s death— | at about pn o'clock in t renoon, this brother asked Mra, Spicer whore her husband was. She replied: “In the parlor.” “At | dinner,” he continued, “1 asked if John was coming to dinner? She stated that he did | hot wantany, She asked me to step in the parlor and «ee him before I went out. 1 promised her L would, She expressed her | ignorance of what asthe matter with him, | nnd seemed to be anxious for me to find ont | the cause of his singular action, A quar | ter before three o'clock I atepped in | the parlor, and found him lying on hie back | onthe floor, Lusked: ‘Are you sick 1? Ie replied: ‘Z feel mean,’ placing his hands | to his breast. He also complained of having paina in his body. Thus it seoms that Mr, § the day before his and that on tho cay of his death he complained of fooling mean and of pains in Lis body, and that his wife expressed a desire that his brother should find out the eause of his wingular conduct; that he was too unwell to eat ® mouthful of dinner; that he lay extended on his back on the parlor tloor— all this bifore the powder, which is aupporead to Arve contained the fiutal poison, had been taken or sent for. At the same time, ft Is to be observed that the expressions which he used to Dr. Bartlett, With relerence to his sensations after the powder had hoon taken, wore quite diiteront from those which he had employed in deserib. ang his Wness previously, Before, he said, 1 feel mean.” ‘To Dr. Bartlett he said that ho feared he was poisoned, and that almost im modintely after taking the powder be began Yo feel vory strange. The death of Mr. Spicer is Involved in feep, dark mystery, It is very Lileoly that he was munteroed; yet the clreamstance that no Hrychnine was found in any o Hite powder taken from the same drawer which zontnined the one sold to Mr Spicer, does not prove conclusively that the one gold to hia did not contain strychnine when it left the apot! en cane, wa | ycor was Hl on death, 's store, Because stryehr lly mixed ia one te powder, it would not necessarily ne had Hits follow that it must be mixed with all or any others, Mr. Spicer’s earnest: expressions of fude and anxiety to recover, are evidence that he did not commit suleide; but they are not conclusive proof, Many a person who bas taken polson to commit suicide has bitterly repented the rash act, aud prayed fur recovery when it was too late, Several years ago, an extraordinary gui by means of strychnine occurred in the tity of Washington, It was thet of Dr. Gardiner. necide Met sollel. vilver mine in Mexico, alleged to have been done by the American army during the Mexican war, After the money lad all Leen paid over to him, a charge was made that the juin was ‘a fraud: lent one; that the silver mine he mundation in fact; and that the evidence by which the case had Loca es. tablished was all manufactured and false, Dr. Gardiner was travelling in Europe at the time, and first saw the statement in some | aewspaper.

Many of thei became warmly interested in the doctor, who was # fine-looking, plausible, prepoescesing man, The law's traditional delays occurred in his cage as in others, He enlivened the interim by falling in love with @ beautiful girl in Georgetown, to whom he *was engaged to be married, Finally the time of his last trial arrived, The Government had procured fresh eyi- fence from Mexico, which proved over He had recovered a large sum of | money from the Government for damage to a | whelming agi et the doctor, It became perfectly apparent that the silver mine had been concceted hy the doctor's imagination, and never had any existence fn reali Then followed the dreadful verdict of guilty, ‘The extent of the punishment pro: vided by law was ten years in the Peniten diary, ‘Tho Court, with stern justice, ser teneed the eulprit for the Jongeat porte term—the full ten years, As Dr. Gardi ner rose, in obedience to the order of the Judyre, to receive his sentence, he drank part of a gloss of water, Some one who was looking on thought he dropped a | bit of white paper into the tambier before drinking.

Government Bonds and Local Taxen. Upon the question of taxing the Govern. ment bonds now outstanding, whether for al purposes, there can be but one ue honest men, We have pledg- od the national faith that they shall not be thus taxed, and we must keep our word, no matter what it cots, And aa to fature issues, snee any tax iinposed by the Government itvelf amounts to simply a reduction of the interest, the cheapest and shortest way of collecting: such a tax is to fix a net rate of in terest nt the outset, and for rafter pay that net amount without reduction, Bat when It comes to the matter of taxes for State, county, ni ety, and town expenses, there is, indeed, room for @ plausible argument in favor of replacing: tho present bonds Ly a new class, whieh shall, in common with other propert coutribute to the cost of public schools, light- ing streets, the police, and other euch things, Hoaldos the amount required by State govern. monte, Still, there are circumstances which vot only vendor it unfair to tax the bonds vn for those purposes, but whieh rhould exempt them, in common with other mere | evidences of debt, from taxes altogether. | The right to tax property at all Texts upon the necessitios of society, Money must be | hed for the expenses of the body politic, and | the only way to get it is by taxation, In dis tributing this burden, two rules of apportion. ment have, ln general, been adopted—one hosed upon the presumed benefits derived from the subsequent expenditare of the money, and the other looking to the peeunt. ary aliiity of the payer, By the former a | porson is assessed in proportion to the value | of his property, it being assumed that it is rendered more valuable and its enjoyment protected hy the maintenance of the various departments of government. Ry the latter come or expenditure is taxed, on the eround that the more he has the better able ho isto pay, The local taxation of this city rocecds upon the former basis, Property fs taxed, according to its asseesed No matter how grout income, provid proj nothing. sulary or an uunuity of but if he spuds it his now ever his ine alone value, Veaman's ty, ho pay Ho may have a 50,009 per annum, 1, and lays up nothing, son the tax books, On rhand, the United States income dd its customs and exe'se duties, take ho accoant of a man’s invested capital, but | only of his yearly profits, If ho has millions of dollars lying idle or unproductive, he is | not called upon for a cont, exeopt indirectly, | and by way of dudes upon what he cats, drinks, and wears, the ¢ tux vw, Bo long ag our local taxation proceeds upon the theory of benefit and protection, evi- dences of debt ought not to be subject to it. | A man is living here in this city, and has all his means invested, say in the bouds of Wost- ern railroads, or in the debt of the United w pieces of paper, whieh he may | keep in bis pocketbook, or send to London if he chooses, are all ho has to show for it.
