The Philadelphia United States Gazette reasona.
bly, anticipates great advantages to that city from
the expected opening of the Chesapeake and Dela-
ware Canal. 1t remarks that the benefits resulting
to Pennsylvania from her expenditure on internal
improvements. is not 50 much visible in the mere
amount of tolls, as in the Increase and creation Of
business, and hat Philadelphia is likely to reap inn
mediate benefit from those judlcious expenditures.
1t seems to think. also, that Phlladel phia will. in
consequence of these various Improvements, attain
la superiority even over New York, its relations
with the interior are important to city, as its
easy access from the sea.-liowever this may be,
we hope that our own city will not eventually be
without share of the advantages expected from the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal .--BaH .Afne.

From the Richmond Whig.

.91essrs. Sloane, & SleOenson.-lt will be seen by
the following note from Mr.. Stevenson, that he pro-
nounced Mr.. Soanes statement, wholly false. Is
sue is joined between the gentlemen, upon the mat
ter of fact.
We regret that Mr.. Stevenson has so emphatical-
y denied Mr.. Sloanes statement, for we are lnclln-
ed to the belief that it will be established by other
and positive testimony. His memory has probably,
again deceived him. Meantime, the public ought
10 suspend opinion until Mr.. Soaneis heard froa.,
and remember, that as Mr. Stevenson was mistaken
in his recollection of what he said in the Bank of
Virginia, in the presence of Mr.. Blair and others,
that so it is possible tor him to be again wrong in his
"reminiscences.

Gentlemen I'm your paper of the lst of Octo-
ber, which have Just seen, is letter from John

ged with having declared to HIM in the Hall OF the
House of Representatives, at the moment OF ballot
ting for Speaker in December 1925, that If elect
ed, would support the Administration. 1t is due
to myself to my country, and to the station which
hold, to notice this charge, and pronounce it, as
now do, utterly and absolutely false Having

This was a better course than encountering the
invader in the open field, which must have OCCASION
ed blow that would have crushed them " once.
But the emperor Nicholas had undoubtedly foreseen
and calculated upon this mode of resistance. and
has made provision by the magnitude of his means
for overcoming it. 1t is quite absurd to suppose
that he will listen TO any negotiations. which must
degrade him in the eyes of Europe. and blast the
military fame of Russia, TO withdraw his army at
this moment would be to inflame the Ottoman pride
to an unbearable pitch Of insolence--to plunge his
own country into ignominy and disgrace, and to
leave himself, not only without glory, but without
any indemnity for the vast military preparations
which he has made. The Emperor seems to us to
have no course open to him, which policy or pru-
dence could dictate but to push the seges of Var
ma and Shumla until they shall b finally reduced,
and then to march to tonsantinope. We trust,
therefore, that his answer to all the ambassadors
will be. that he will hold his cabinet of negotiation
in the capital of the Turks.

the Turks have hitherto conducted their resistance

European skill or European officers they have

To the County Comm issioners and Inspectors OF the
General Election.
1t has been asserted that within short time, i'm
mediatey prior to the late Ward Election, num-
Der of individuals we're assessed by the Commas
sioners of this County and by means of this assess
ment were admitted to vote. The American Senti-
mel of Tuesday admits the fact and nsties the prac-
tice as perfectly legal. 1t is presumed that the per-
sons so assessed will attempt TO vote at the coming ell
ection, and will offer in support of their claim the
receipts for taxesgiven by the Commissioners Such
assessments wholly Illegal, ard such receipts
give no right whatever to vote. The point has been
solemnly decided by the Supreme Court, and it may
not be amss to call the attention ofthe inspectors to
the danger which will occur to them itthey attempt
to disturb principle in our eactionlaw which has
been SO long settled. In the vt Catlin V. Smith,
lie Sergeant and kawle, 167) the Court unanimous
ly decided that assessment and payment of taxes.
within six months ofthe election did not give rig

jtf had caused himself to be assessed for county
tax which had been laid by the county, hut not as
lsessed upon him six months before the election. On
the 3Oth of the same month he offered to vote. The
vote was refused by the Inspector, and on this ac-
count the action was brought. The Chief Justice
in giving his opinion used the following decided Ian
euage after stating the numerous evils to result from
revived.
s.These were the evils to be prevented, and they
will be prevented, if no person is allowed TO vote
unless the tax was assessed apon him six months be-
fore the election. Our system of taxation has been
altered in some respects since the adoption OF the
Constitution but the alteration is by no means OPP
posed to nv construction. The commissioners are
to canse transcripts of the to be trans
mtled to the assessors collectors before the
I'd Monday in April each year, SO that the assess
ment being thts closed, it has not been shown by
what authority an assessor has afterwards exercised

to him near the time of election. My opinion, how
ever. is not founded the irregularty of the pro
ceeding," Gas TO the power OF the assessor) II
would have made no difference if the plaintiff ha,
