Groat commotion and excitement prevails
in Covingrcn Ky, owing to a decision Of the
Supremt Cout Of Ohio, that so soon as 4
slave touches the limi S of that State. he is
n, longer a slave, but a freeman. Ills de-
cision was lately made in tic case of a
slave elong:ngt 10 a Virginia gentleman, trav-
cling through Ohio 10 Missouri. Many slaves
have been enticcd from their masters in Nv.
and the Abolitionists have q regular line of
communication TO take them TO Canada.
Some persons in Covington. had put up a
handful, calling upon the citizens to protect
their properly and their rights. 1t has the
following:
"The decisions Of the courts of Ohio. and the inter-
ference of her citizens with our constiin ionsl rights

Ii seems that in "matters connected with
the army '.PoIitical grounds of removal are
not sufficient" This appears from a letter
from Secretary Bell TO some seeker for the
office of Paymaster Of the army. The let
ter says:
The department is not aware Of any rra-
sons sufficiently aggravated tn cause Il change
this office, particularly rs in matters connec-
ted with the army. political grounds Of re-
moval are not sufficient. in the absence OF
official delinquency in office.
1t is not an unfair inference from this, that
in other branches of the public service, in
the Post office, Treasury, Land office, Navy
&C., political grounds are sufficient cause
for removal in the absence of official delln-
quency. In other words, if an officer happens
to be Il vulgar I.ocofoco, it is a matter Of no
Importance whether he has lcen a faithful
public servant or not. he will have TO walk
the plank. This is beyond doubt the prac-
whatever may be the profession.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

JUICE ENGLE of tie Court Of common
Pleas of st. Louis. has lately made an i'm.
portantdecision touching the constitutionality
of the kind of business carried on by the
Insurance companies of that city. The
Court held that buying and selling bills ofe1-
change, dis~counting notes, end receiving de-
posts constituted 4 bank, and vas therefore
in contravention to that clause of the con-
stitution, which prohibits the establishment
more that one bank. The cause is not
yet terminated in the inferior court, and will
probably go to the supreme court COR final
adjudication.

GENTLEMEN: We rave hern f., ored vi i
v"ur address by our mutual friend Mr.. ]. y.
Ebert, with Il request that we shonld give
You our views on the subject OF Tobacco.
with which we most cheerfully comply
This has been with Us for some time past Il
tivoriie article; convinced as we are uf tine
immense increase in the consumption within
The last few Years. This you will observe
from the present short stocks on hand
throughout all Europe. notwithstanding our
heavy exports thilher last year. For proof
Of the grea, augmentation Of consumption in
1910 over 1889, we refer you 10 the port of
Bremen.
Imports there in Is4n were % 227 hhd.,
" 1889 " 1858 I"
Excess Of imports in ls40 5,3e9
Stock on hand Dec. ~, Isa9 $3.50
q" q" I" 81, 1910 2,2S2 4.sj7
Incrca'e in consumption in 1910 1925 hhds.
Or more than 81 per cent. over 1889.
Again take Rotterdam
Imports there ID $40 were 1851 hhds.

ESccs. Of imporisi in 1910 IO,7IO
Stock on hand Dec. 81, 1910 4,697
" 81, 1880 3,7io M
Exees. of consumption in 1910 9,162
or nearly 100 per cent. over 80. These are
not selected as extraordinary examples, but
the e1tentof operations in all the continent
al parts, may be fairly judged by this scale.
BY the last accounts from England, the
demand for Tobacco was not so brisk rs IL
had been, but, SO soon rs the export demand
begins, which it soon will do, and it is ascer-
tanned on the other side that the present
crop of the u. States is below an average.
instead of an uncommonly large one as has
been up TO this period expected; there will
be greater activity and prices will advance.
We speak confidently because we have
studied the subject, and flatter ourselves that
understand it.
That the increase in the consumption is
steady and progressive no one doubts. That
the stocks Of Europe are at presen, very re.
duced, is equally a matter Of certainty
That the present cropof our country is short
is now generally admitted.
Under these circumstances we can see
none other than the best prospects for Tnba-
eco. We do not wish TO be understood as
stimulating tn purchases at extravagant PHI
ces hut are firmly persuaded that iudiciouslv
it will pay a handsome profit through
put the year.

And often, full often, ofyou.
A, length il came over beautiful scene,
That nature in silence had made
The place was but--smnllbut twas syeetly serene.
And chequered with sunshine and shade
I razad and envied with painful good will,
And grew tired Of my seat in the air:
When all Of a sudden, my castle stood still,
as If some attraction was there.
Like leaf from the sky, it came luttering down.
And placed the exactly ia view,
