Between 40 and so policemen were sta

before the time of meeting this m orning.
After the most extraordinary cont test
the State has ever seen, In which every
experiment. legitimate and illegitimate,
had been exhausted, there was a preva

submit to what could not be prevented
Under these circumstances, the House
met The special order was the election
of Speaker, without debate, Interruptions
or explanations of any kind therefore
the calling of the roll-the only thug in

Mr.. T. c. Fields undertook to couple
the election of Speaker and Clerk by OFF

Speaker, and Mr. Cushman (Union) Clerk
The effec. was to develop the fact that
Mr Fields could not longer carry his par
ty
Mr.. Fields then undertook to get di-
rect vote or the resolution declaring Mr..
Trimmer Speaker This was ruled out
on the ground that the mode Of electing
had already been fixed by the House
After this much the vote direct for
Speaker proceeded and on no occasion
had the roll-call been watched with so
much interest No one in tie House
doubted that the moment OF fate had ar

Revenue Tax.

Considerable difficulty arises in the assess
mens by the U. S. Deputy Assessor of this
district, either from ignorance of the Law or
a desire TO swindle the Government, on the
part of certain manufacturers. Cases are net
unfrequent where the returns of articles man
usactured, and of sales made, SO much below
that warranted by the facts that the Assess
or has waited upon the parties, pointed out
the law, and referred to the crime of which
the law makes themselves guilty.
The law is plain upon the subject, that per-
sons making false returns, not only sub
jec. to be assessed, as in the Judgment of the
assessors proper, but also subject to q heavy
penalty. In other places We notice the law is
enforced by assessors and we understand tina >
/, will be in this county. A strict com pliance
with the Law is all that is required, and as
SCISSORS ard collectors arc expected TO see that
the law is lived up TO.

The Paper Monopoly.

Washington, Jan l9.-The agents Of
paper dealers and manufacturers have
been busy attempting to influence the ac-
ton of Congress against the reduction Of
duty on paper The embarrassments to
publishers resulting from the imposition
of extortionate prices are appreciated by
many influential members of Congress,
who will not fail at the proper time to
urge such relief as will secure the ends
of justice and honesty. The reports which
have reached here that the paper dealers
and manufacturers are only waiting for
the adjournment Of Congress to increase
their prices above the present figures, are
believed to oe true in view of the present
condition of the money market.
We republish this dispatch for the pur-
pose of calling the attention of newspaper
publishers and the public generally to Il
few facts. The present high duty on pa
per (35 per cent. in coin) has enabled the
American paper manufacturers, by com
binations among themselves to double the
price Of paper within few months, and
they may carry it to an indefinite figure
under the influence OF a proper stock pan
ic. These men are now hesieging Con-
gress t. prevent a reduction Of duty on
foreign papers. Their success will place
behooves those interested to take prompt
measures to defeat the selfish designs of
the monopolists. As we have stated, the
present duty on paper is 80 per cent in
gold or equal to 60 per cent. in currency,
which is required to pay the duties. If
this duty be reduced to 10 per cent dd
ralorem, the reduction of duties is equal
to nearly 45 per cent. Paper can be
| bought in England for S cents a pound.
Add duty, transportation and profits to the
factor, and the price of English paper in
our marLet-and much better article
| than is now got-would be Is cents per
| pound. Publishers are new paying Is to
| 20 cents for an inferior article; and if the
| duty on paper be not reduced, they may
be compelled to pay 20 to p cents pound
for a miserable quality of paper; and of
course must make corresponding in
/ crease in the their issues. One half the
papers in the country, under these cir
cumstances would be compelled to sus-
pend, and the other half carry up their
{ prices at least so per cent. We do hope
! our contemporaries will take this matter In
| hand Let pressure be brought to bear
upon eve,-v member of Congress that shall
make him uuI erstand that this matter
must not be ignored or postponed The
paper monopoly must be resisted-t stcQ-
