The Tax on Silver Plate.

their duties. In all enquiries per-
tanning to the household they will
rely upon the honesty Of the citi-
zen, rather than make the tax law
odious by a search ofthe premises.
People who are fotunate enough to
own silver spoons, tea-pots, sugar
bowls, crcam-pitchers, trays and
other silver ware, will be expected
to ascertain the weight of them in
Troy ounces. This can be most
easily and accurately done at some
silversmith's, and his certificate as
to the weight will be accepted by
The Assessor as correct.
1t is only upon the excess of for
ty ounces, belonging to any one
person, that the tax Of thee cents
per ounce is chargeable. AS an
encouragement Of the family insti-
tntion, the trainers Of the law have
exempted those siver mugs which
are the peculiar endowments of ba

does not come under the head OF

exempt. While the law is thus tol.

property in their houses must have
it weighed and certified to. 1t i

evidences of weight will only be re
quired in cases where parties ar,

REMovED.-The Indiana penn
Democrat says:
Miss Hannah NJ. Stewart, Post.
mistress at Tyrone, in this State,
has been removed from office, and
James Plummer, a Republican pol.
itician, appointed in her place. :
Plummer probably desired to es.
cape the draft, and so sought and
obtained this office. Miss Stewart
is the daughter of poor widow,
whom she supported by the mea Is
of the small proceeds Of this office,
her two brothers being in the ar

rome, Penn, be heralded to the
world as he deserves, and let not

magnanimous, noble act Of reno
wing Miss Stewart to make way for
this unselfish patriot.

"We would neither praise nor

We deem it but justice to say that
q very high officer, who, in the ter
rible battle of Chaplin Hills, won
deathless honors, aud who has been
said by many to have been treated
by General Buell. with great injus-
tice, assured us yesterday that he
regards General B. as the greatest
military commander in the Federal

EONGREssEONAE. CONVENTION

There has yet been no decision r regard
to the time and place Of holding the Dem
ociatic Congressional Convention. The
Logansport PAaros proposes that it be held
at Winamac on the 10th of August. We
have no objection to the time; but we real
" do think that Plymouth for the place
would give better satisfaction to a great
majority of those who will attend. Wilma.
mac is probably more convenient for three
or four counties in the south western por-
ton of the District. which generally send
but small delegation. while Plymouth
would be the choice of ST. Joseph, La
Porte. Porter. Lake. S,arke. Fulton. Mar
shall. &c. We would urge Tie holding oft
at Plym ouih in still stronger terms, were
it not that some few have expressed de-
cided preference that it be held somewhere
else. Ii Is hoped the matter will be deci-
ded soon.
