ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOT GONE.
Peacefully daplred this life, at the house
of his son Thomas, i'll CIermont county, o.,
in the nincy-fourth year of his age, at half
p1st o'clock, A. NJ, July lth, 1915, Lieut..
Hugh Muhy. Ho WIS among the first who
enlisted in the continental army, under Gen.
Putnam in ITS at Cambridge, Mass cndu-
red the suffering of 6 years hard service,
was in the battle Of Saratoga, when Burgoynr
surrendered, in that of Monmouth and many
others. Although, like his fellow soldiers,
he experienced much loss by being paid in
continental money, at that time, he was com
fortably provided for by the government in
his old age. He died without struggle,
closing his own eyes, and folding his hands
on his breast.-Ciacianati Enquirer.

The people are complaining, year after
year, at their state expenses, for officers to

as they pay their expenses out of their profits,
it must como from those who deal with them

TREASURY CIRCULAR.-Mr. Walker, Sc
cretary of the Treasury, has issued Circu-
lar designed TO prevent anticipated frauds on
the Treasury, in Texas. Information Ims
been received at Washington jusilying the
belief that large quantity of foreign goods
will be run into Texas, to be introduced into
our market as soon as Congress shall receive
that territory into the Union, and thus escape
the duty. 1t is thought also that goods will
be taken from our own ports into Texls,
with the expectation Of obtaining the p;iv-
lege of the drawback of duties. In order 10
prevent these frauds the Secretary informs
the collectors that they are TO consider Texas
as foreign government, until Congress shall
fully recognize and erect it into a collection
district; after which time, if it should ever
come, he supposas ample provision will be
made to prevent the sacrifice of our revenue
by the evasion of our laws. He gives this
order by virtue of authority vested IN him by
the tariff law of 1912, in which it is sld the
decision of the Secretary of the Ire .sury
shall be binding in all clses where llicult-
les may arise as TO the true construction or
meaning of any part of said tariff law He
finds precedent for such a proceeding in
The course of the administration Of Mr.. JEFF
ferson and his Secretary of the Treasury, in
the case of Louisiana; and also in the case
of Florida, under Mr.. Monroe and his Secra-
tary of the Treasury, Mr.. Crawford.-O. S.
Journal.
The Journal affects to find in these facts
of the insincerity of Mr.. Walker,
in reference to a protective tariff. Because
that gentleman may not approve a tariff
which imposes heavy and unequal taxes on
the people, it does not follow that he is to
neglect his duty and allow foreign fabrics to
be entered aot taxed at ALL 1t would be
sufficiently unjust to those who pay the tax
imposed by the tariff, to account for the
Secrctary's course TO any but pultician
wofully at a loss for political capital.

In this county, regular opposition was made at
the November Court, when the people were in
primary assembly, TO t.e call Of a Conren,ion, and
it is the only county West Of the Blue Ridge,
no Tar as our knowledge extends, which has ex-
hibhed that phenomenon We are sorry TO see it
even in that county, though it appears to have
been limited 10 n very few, so far as the official
proceedings announce the facts, and to have been
sgnaly fOiled by the popular voice.
The truth is, and 80 We have told the opponents
Of u Convention from the first, and in the hope of
harmoniziDg the public mind, and ,,cceteniae the
pa6lic temper with which the Convention is en-.
teled, all opposition to it is hopeless, and will only
serve 10 exaspe!ate passion, and 10 make the &C.
fion Of the Convention more radical than it might
