Tho giddiness wno had lost n is ihsuohs, ana siiiiiooRed on desperate- left me, nnd I negan to reel a little like a reasonable enough. The dim, black, frowsy outline of tho val-nnce above mo was within on inch of being parallel with his inist. I Hill looked breathlessly, and steadily, and slowly I saw the ligurot and the line of frame below the figure, vanish, as tho valance moved down before it. I am, constitutionally, nnvthinir but timid. I have been, on more than one occasion, in noril of mv life. and Imvo not lost my self possession for an instant; but whoa tho conviction first settled on my miad that the bed-top was really moving, was steadily and continually unking down upon me, I looked up for one awful minute, or more, shuddering, helpless, panic-stricken, beneath the the hideous machinery for murder, which was advancing, closer and closer, to so (locate me where 1 lay. Ihon the instinct of soil-preservation came; nnd nerved me to save my life while there was yot timo. I got out of bed very quielly, and quickly dressed myself again in my upper clothing. The candle, fully spent, went out. I sot down in an arm-chair that stood near and wntched tho bed-top slowly descending, was literally spell-bound by it. If I had beard footsteps behind me I could not havo turned round; if a means of escape had been miraculously provided for me, I could not havo moved to tnko sdvantago of it. The whole life in mo was, at that moment concentrated in my eyes. It descended tho whole canopy wilh a fringe uround it, came down down close down i so close that there was not room to inueeze my finger between the bed- top and the bed. I felt at tho sides and discovered that what hail appeared to mo lo be the ordinary liqht canopy of a lour post bed, was, in reulity, a thick, broad mattross, ine unbalance ol winch wm concealed by Hie valanco and fringe. I looked up and saw the four," posts rising hideously. In the middle of tho bed-top was a hueo wooden screw that had evidently worked it down ihrough a bnle in tho ceiling, just ns ordinary presses are worked down on the subject selected for compression. Tho frightfulnpparutuB moved without making the slightost noise. There had been no cracking as it camo down; there wns now not the faintest sound from the room above. Amid a dread and awful silence I boheld before mo in tho nineteenth century, nnd in the civilized capitol of France such a machine for secret murder by suffocation as might have existed in the worst days of the Innuisitmu. in the lonelv inns among the Maria Mountains, in (he mysterious tribunals of Westphalia! Still ns I looked on it, I could not mnvo I con hi hardly breathot but I begnn to recover the power of thinking, and in a moment I discovered the murderous conspiracy framed ogninst me. in nil its horror.My cnlTeohad boon drugsnd, and drugged too strong-ly. I had been saved from being smothered by having taken an overdose of some narcotic. How I had chafed and fretied at tho fever fit which had preserved my life by keeping mo awake! How recklessly I bad confided myself to Iho two wrolches who had led me into llits room, determined for the sake ol my winnings, lo kill me in my sleep, by the surest and most horrible contrivance for secretly accomplishing my destruction! How many men, winners liko me, had slept as I proposed to nloep, in (lint bed, and never be seen or heard of moro ! I shuddered ns I thought of it. But, ere long, all thought was ngain suspended, by the sipht of the murderous canopy moving, once more. After it rcmuined on the bed as nenrly as I could guess about ton minutes, it began to move up again Tho villains who worked it from above rvidontly believed tlint their nurnoso was now nccomnlisbed. Slowly and silently, as it had desconded, that horrible bed top rnto townrd its former place. When it warned the upper extremities of tho four posts, it reached iho ceiling ton. Neiiber hole nor screw could be seen tho bed hocamo in appearance, an ordinary bed again tho canopy, nn ordinary canopy, even to tho most suspicion eyes. Now, for tho first time, I was able to move, to rise from my chair, to consider of how I should escape. If I hart betrayed by tho smallest noise that the attempt m mil men ie mi) unci iniieii, i was certain to ne murder- id. Had 1 made any noise already ? I Intoned in. We left tho house in ihe solo possession of two police ngents every one of the inmates being removed to prison on the spot.

"that anv men have really been smothered in that bed, as they tried to smother met " " I have Been doens of drowned men laid out at the Morgue," answered tho sub-prefect, " in whose pocket-books were found letters, atating that they bad lust everything at the gaming-tab! o. Do I know how jnany of those men entered the same gambling bouse that you entered? won as you won? took that bed as you took it? slept in it? were smothered in it? and were privately thrown into the river, wilh a Ictler of explanation written by the murderers and placed in their pocket-books? No man can say how many or how few have suffered the fate from which you have escaped. Tho people of the gambling bouse kept their bedstead machinery a secret from w even from the police! The dead keep the rest uf the secret for them, (iood night, or rather good morning, mouiier Faulkner. Be at my office aeniu at nine o'clock, in ihe mean time, an revoirt" The rest of mv storv is soon told. I was examined, and ro-examined ; tho gambling house was strictly searched all through, from top to bottom; the prisoners were separately interrogated, and two of the less glllliy among mem mane n cnniession, i uucuvt-reu that the old soldier was the master of the gaubting-house justice discovered that ho had been drummed out of tho army, ns n vagabond, years ago; that he had been guilty of all sorts of villanies sinco ; that he was in possession of stolen properly, which tho owner identified ; and that ho, tho croupier, another accomplice, and the worn no who hud made my cup of coffee, wero all in the secret of the bedstead. There appenred some reason tn doubt whoihfr the inferior persons attached to ihe house know anything of ihe suffocating machinery; nnd they received the benefit of that doubt by being trented simply as thieves and vagabonds. As for tho old soldier and hit two-heod myrmidons, they went to the galleys; the woman who had drugged my coffee was imprisoned for I forgot how many years; the regular attendants at (Tfe gambling-house were considered "suspicions," and plated under "surveillance;" and I became, for one whole week, (which is a lour? timo.l the "lion" in 1'arisian society.

Then, if the law is executed, it will pny the taxes, concerning which the courta are now to sny whether t ey aro owed. nui inner ui)ei-t cnn mo taw nnvo; 10U answer, the same llmt it Iihs in seizing or distraining any other properly for tnxes. To Ihnt I answer, that ia not ils object, for that rifdit, Mm common ripht of distraint, nw exists against there hanks, in ibo most complete and ample form. If (his bill was only meant to give BRninnt banks the right In distrain, then it is only tmd Bimply frivolous i for by tho act nf IH'il, in sections 51 nnd 7',, that right is fully recognized and given, and that against " any corporation. I lien tins law rs not to be pnssr d to enable disirnint to be made at against others, for that 's the law now for the collection of all legal luxes. What other motive have you in viewt To make ihe Treasurers do their duty or forfeit iheir bond. But if tho terms of those bonds, as thoy are now given by those in otlice, and as Ihey must be given by those coming in, (for the statute now fixes the conditions of tlioso bonus,) does not now cover what this bill seeks to mnke a forfeiture of ihe bond, then yon cannot make it a forfeiture " by act of Assembly." Do you, think, sir that we can enact thai a note which reads for one hundred dollars ahull be "taken end held" to be a hundred ? l'roh-My you will not, though I am not sure, i i -j .Mes not sny ihnt bonds shull lirrmPrr bu co conditioned as iu imiu this delinquency of thn Treasurer a breach. Not at all. But this act shall be held a forfeiture whalover may be its conditions, and whether nnw in existence or not. If that bo tho object of the bill, then the bill's form ia novel, considering its object. Then that is not what the bill is for. Is the object todib.ir prosecuting ailurnies for not prnseeiiimg Iheso irensurors r ine inw now provides for their removal and lor (iisbnrring all attorneys for cause. Thai 's not tho object of the bill. It is frivolous to extend this vearch for object farther. They are mnnifeslly not those I have noticed. But, sir, is the object of Ibis Inw a penem design, with relerence to these Unnks, to provide a mode of collodion of taxes more efficient Ihnn Ihe Inw now furnishes 1 This is doubtless wlmt ii clnimed. Let us see. Itisseenibat ihe law now provides ihe general ripht of distress. What more does the Ihw provide? ll ils provisions are now nn thorough and ample for these collections aa tho provision of this act mnke them, or as they can be, contiitentli tcith the idta that the bank have a right to try hit quettion at all, then the object of the bill cannot be to simply insure iho collections oi legal taxes, leaving Xnatl ihe rii;ht to try the question of legality iu the courts, fs die law now ns effective as il can be, consistent with the right to a irinlf Hy lhe72d section of the act of I8-12, iho ripht ol diatrniut is given. By Ihe 51st section it is recognized. By the act defining the duties of Couniy Treasurers. section l!bh, it ia required of I hone oltkera. But it mny be said tlint nnder these nets " money " mount be taken. Grant it. for the Bake of argument. But wlmt dims the low provide for the cane whore distress is inoperative. Sir, it provides for just such n case, and iu provisions are incomparably more effective thnn ibis bill. " That if the Treasurer nhnll ho unable, by distress or othermte, to collect the tuxes assessed upon ant persou or cohfora.tiom, he shall apply to the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas ut any time after his settlement wilb the Auditor, and the tjleik slum give notice to such corporation requiring it, forthwith, lo show cause why it should not pay such luxes, nnd on the failure lo show sudlcientcause, nt the term to which the notice is re tu rouble, the court quired to enter a rule against it for the taxes and coals, i' nd thut rule is madn n judgment, to be enforced by attachment , execution, or such oriiin frockss as the court mny direct." Section Til. Wlmt fi)i be more thorough t What more summary, ihnt allows any trial 1 No nppenrance terms. No process. No decltirniions or plena. No attorney tube employed. None of" the Inw'n delay." Forthwith you gel a jiidpini ut, and you may use execution 1 If that will not iio, you use niinciimenr, and Imprison the orti-cers. If thut won't do, you lake out tuck other procttt m you want, under ihe court's order I Can you think ol nny i" "if; nvuiiu uu i i Ber, no , luoro umuiug beyond it, except the mere power of the mob. Nothing thut Ibis act does not furnish, except that it allows the citizen,! the eonrtt "to Mote aimm," if he omi, why hi properly should uot be stMied. All that this bill can do, in Ihe wny of effectively securing the tuxes, except oryoni.o tho mob, the law does. Now, sir, mny I not elniui that nil Ibis bill legitimately aims In is to Hhut the coiiris. oir, i nave said you can i lo that ! So much the greater outrnge in making the attempt. Sir, I will only nuce ono oiupi- moi, imiicauug ions ihe true obiect ol this bill is to deprive these banks of the heiii'lit ol an appeal mine courts, a dim wss presented to this House providing that these banks and niher- might pay all these tnxes, aud lei their receipts from the Trensnrcr show what amount the tax payer thought wns illegnl, and thon let him, within a short lime, sun mid recover it bnck if the courts any It is ill" fnl.

Tho giddiness wno had lost n is ihsuohs, ana siiiiiooRed on desperate- left me, nnd I negan to reel a little like a reasonable enough. The dim, black, frowsy outline of tho val-nnce above mo was within on inch of being parallel with his inist. I Hill looked breathlessly, and steadily, and slowly I saw the ligurot and the line of frame below the figure, vanish, as tho valance moved down before it. I am, constitutionally, nnvthinir but timid. I have been, on more than one occasion, in noril of mv life. and Imvo not lost my self possession for an instant; but whoa tho conviction first settled on my miad that the bed-top was really moving, was steadily and continually unking down upon me, I looked up for one awful minute, or more, shuddering, helpless, panic-stricken, beneath the the hideous machinery for murder, which was advancing, closer and closer, to so (locate me where 1 lay. Ihon the instinct of soil-preservation came; nnd nerved me to save my life while there was yot timo. I got out of bed very quielly, and quickly dressed myself again in my upper clothing. The candle, fully spent, went out. I sot down in an arm-chair that stood near and wntched tho bed-top slowly descending, was literally spell-bound by it. If I had beard footsteps behind me I could not havo turned round; if a means of escape had been miraculously provided for me, I could not havo moved to tnko sdvantago of it. The whole life in mo was, at that moment concentrated in my eyes. It descended tho whole canopy wilh a fringe uround it, came down down close down i so close that there was not room to inueeze my finger between the bed- top and the bed. I felt at tho sides and discovered that what hail appeared to mo lo be the ordinary liqht canopy of a lour post bed, was, in reulity, a thick, broad mattross, ine unbalance ol winch wm concealed by Hie valanco and fringe. I looked up and saw the four," posts rising hideously. In the middle of tho bed-top was a hueo wooden screw that had evidently worked it down ihrough a bnle in tho ceiling, just ns ordinary presses are worked down on the subject selected for compression. Tho frightfulnpparutuB moved without making the slightost noise. There had been no cracking as it camo down; there wns now not the faintest sound from the room above. Amid a dread and awful silence I boheld before mo in tho nineteenth century, nnd in the civilized capitol of France such a machine for secret murder by suffocation as might have existed in the worst days of the Innuisitmu. in the lonelv inns among the Maria Mountains, in (he mysterious tribunals of Westphalia! Still ns I looked on it, I could not mnvo I con hi hardly breathot but I begnn to recover the power of thinking, and in a moment I discovered the murderous conspiracy framed ogninst me. in nil its horror.My cnlTeohad boon drugsnd, and drugged too strong-ly. I had been saved from being smothered by having taken an overdose of some narcotic. How I had chafed and fretied at tho fever fit which had preserved my life by keeping mo awake! How recklessly I bad confided myself to Iho two wrolches who had led me into llits room, determined for the sake ol my winnings, lo kill me in my sleep, by the surest and most horrible contrivance for secretly accomplishing my destruction! How many men, winners liko me, had slept as I proposed to nloep, in (lint bed, and never be seen or heard of moro ! I shuddered ns I thought of it. But, ere long, all thought was ngain suspended, by the sipht of the murderous canopy moving, once more. After it rcmuined on the bed as nenrly as I could guess about ton minutes, it began to move up again Tho villains who worked it from above rvidontly believed tlint their nurnoso was now nccomnlisbed. Slowly and silently, as it had desconded, that horrible bed top rnto townrd its former place. When it warned the upper extremities of tho four posts, it reached iho ceiling ton. Neiiber hole nor screw could be seen tho bed hocamo in appearance, an ordinary bed again tho canopy, nn ordinary canopy, even to tho most suspicion eyes. Now, for tho first time, I was able to move, to rise from my chair, to consider of how I should escape. If I hart betrayed by tho smallest noise that the attempt m mil men ie mi) unci iniieii, i was certain to ne murder- id. Had 1 made any noise already ? I Intoned in. We left tho house in ihe solo possession of two police ngents every one of the inmates being removed to prison on the spot.

Do I know how jnany of those men entered the same gambling bouse that you entered? won as you won? took that bed as you took it? slept in it? were smothered in it? and were privately thrown into the river, wilh a Ictler of explanation written by the murderers and placed in their pocket-books? No man can say how many or how few have suffered the fate from which you have escaped. Tho people of the gambling bouse kept their bedstead machinery a secret from w even from the police!

I was examined, and ro-examined ; tho gambling house was strictly searched all through, from top to bottom; the prisoners were separately interrogated, and two of the less glllliy among mem mane n cnniession, i uucuvt-reu that the old soldier was the master of the gaubting-house justice discovered that ho had been drummed out of tho army, ns n vagabond, years ago; that he had been guilty of all sorts of villanies sinco ; that he was in possession of stolen properly, which tho owner identified ; and that ho, tho croupier, another accomplice, and the worn no who hud made my cup of coffee, wero all in the secret of the bedstead. There appenred some reason tn doubt whoihfr the inferior persons attached to ihe house know anything of ihe suffocating machinery; nnd they received the benefit of that doubt by being trented simply as thieves and vagabonds. As for tho old soldier and hit two-heod myrmidons, they went to the galleys; the woman who had drugged my coffee was imprisoned for I forgot how many years; the regular attendants at (Tfe gambling-house were considered "suspicions," and plated under "surveillance;" and I became, for one whole week, (which is a lour? timo.l the "lion" in 1'arisian society.

It mnne. uie m'nm.reni anu prosecutors, nnuer the pen-alliea nf th eir bonds and ! of allien, break open all brinks that have not pnid these disputed taxes, and tnko Ihe taxes. It makes no exception in favor of those who hnve the question ot the legality of this very lax in the courts being tried. Then, if the law is executed, it will pny the taxes, concerning which the courta are now to sny whether t ey aro owed. nui inner ui)ei-t cnn mo taw nnvo; 10U answer, the same llmt it Iihs in seizing or distraining any other properly for tnxes. To Ihnt I answer, that ia not ils object, for that rifdit, Mm common ripht of distraint, nw exists against there hanks, in ibo most complete and ample form. If (his bill was only meant to give BRninnt banks the right In distrain, then it is only tmd Bimply frivolous i for by tho act nf IH'il, in sections 51 nnd 7',, that right is fully recognized and given, and that against " any corporation. I lien tins law rs not to be pnssr d to enable disirnint to be made at against others, for that 's the law now for the collection of all legal luxes. What other motive have you in viewt To make ihe Treasurers do their duty or forfeit iheir bond. But if tho terms of those bonds, as thoy are now given by those in otlice, and as Ihey must be given by those coming in, (for the statute now fixes the conditions of tlioso bonus,) does not now cover what this bill seeks to mnke a forfeiture of ihe bond, then yon cannot make it a forfeiture " by act of Assembly." Do you, think, sir that we can enact thai a note which reads for one hundred dollars ahull be "taken end held" to be a hundred ? l'roh-My you will not, though I am not sure, i i -j .Mes not sny ihnt bonds shull lirrmPrr bu co conditioned as iu imiu this delinquency of thn Treasurer a breach. Not at all. But this act shall be held a forfeiture whalover may be its conditions, and whether nnw in existence or not. If that bo tho object of the bill, then the bill's form ia novel, considering its object. Then that is not what the bill is for. Is the object todib.ir prosecuting ailurnies for not prnseeiiimg Iheso irensurors r ine inw now provides for their removal and lor (iisbnrring all attorneys for cause. Thai 's not tho object of the bill. It is frivolous to extend this vearch for object farther. They are mnnifeslly not those I have noticed. But, sir, is the object of Ibis Inw a penem design, with relerence to these Unnks, to provide a mode of collodion of taxes more efficient Ihnn Ihe Inw now furnishes 1 This is doubtless wlmt ii clnimed. Let us see. Itisseenibat ihe law now provides ihe general ripht of distress. What more does the Ihw provide? ll ils provisions are now nn thorough and ample for these collections aa tho provision of this act mnke them, or as they can be, contiitentli tcith the idta that the bank have a right to try hit quettion at all, then the object of the bill cannot be to simply insure iho collections oi legal taxes, leaving Xnatl ihe rii;ht to try the question of legality iu the courts, fs die law now ns effective as il can be, consistent with the right to a irinlf Hy lhe72d section of the act of I8-12, iho ripht ol diatrniut is given. By Ihe 51st section it is recognized. By the act defining the duties of Couniy Treasurers. section l!bh, it ia required of I hone oltkera. But it mny be said tlint nnder these nets " money " mount be taken. Grant it. for the Bake of argument. But wlmt dims the low provide for the cane whore distress is inoperative. Sir, it provides for just such n case, and iu provisions are incomparably more effective thnn ibis bill. " That if the Treasurer nhnll ho unable, by distress or othermte, to collect the tuxes assessed upon ant persou or cohfora.tiom, he shall apply to the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas ut any time after his settlement wilb the Auditor, and the tjleik slum give notice to such corporation requiring it, forthwith, lo show cause why it should not pay such luxes, nnd on the failure lo show sudlcientcause, nt the term to which the notice is re tu rouble, the court quired to enter a rule against it for the taxes and coals, i' nd thut rule is madn n judgment, to be enforced by attachment , execution, or such oriiin frockss as the court mny direct." Section Til. Wlmt fi)i be more thorough t What more summary, ihnt allows any trial 1 No nppenrance terms. No process. No decltirniions or plena. No attorney tube employed. None of" the Inw'n delay." Forthwith you gel a jiidpini ut, and you may use execution 1 If that will not iio, you use niinciimenr, and Imprison the orti-cers. If thut won't do, you lake out tuck other procttt m you want, under ihe court's order I Can you think ol nny i" "if; nvuiiu uu i i Ber, no , luoro umuiug beyond it, except the mere power of the mob. Nothing thut Ibis act does not furnish, except that it allows the citizen,! the eonrtt "to Mote aimm," if he omi, why hi properly should uot be stMied. All that this bill can do, in Ihe wny of effectively securing the tuxes, except oryoni.o tho mob, the law does. Now, sir, mny I not elniui that nil Ibis bill legitimately aims In is to Hhut the coiiris. oir, i nave said you can i lo that ! So much the greater outrnge in making the attempt. Sir, I will only nuce ono oiupi- moi, imiicauug ions ihe true obiect ol this bill is to deprive these banks of the heiii'lit ol an appeal mine courts, a dim wss presented to this House providing that these banks and niher- might pay all these tnxes, aud lei their receipts from the Trensnrcr show what amount the tax payer thought wns illegnl, and thon let him, within a short lime, sun mid recover it bnck if the courts any It is ill" fnl. That bill is in lis grave, and by the bsudsof the riendi of this. What 1 not take thU money ! You |
