The Ultra Programme e.

Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens is the leader of the
Abolition Republican party in the House of
Representatives. AS the Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means, he is the
mouthpiece of the Administration, and his
statements are fairly taken as the sentiments
of the Administration. In his speech on
the admission of Western Virginia as a
State, be expressly declared that the adms
sion was unconstitutional, and that he would
not stultity himself by declaring to the
contrary, nevertheless he voted for the bill
he said, "under absolute power which the
laws of war give u.s." and thus committed
perjury according to his own confession.
Bat this was not all he said in that connec,
ton. The following words should sink deep
into the mind of every reader, as showing
the intent and design of these men from the
beginning. He said.
"This talk of restoring the Union as it was,
under the Constitution MS it j., is one of the
absurdlics which have heard repeated until
have become about sick OF it. This Union shall
never with my consent be res stored under tn
Constitution rs it is.'
There is the announcement, plainly and
distinctly. Now, if Mr.. Lincoln is trying to
restore the Union and the Constitution, as so
many people profess to believe, it is certain
that Thaddeus Stevens don't think for mo
ment that he is assisting hun. There is no
positive antilslaveryite who wishes the Union
restored, and they will do all they can to
prevent it. Hence the admission of West
ern Virginia in order to perpetuate their
power Hence the Texas expedition OF
General Banks in order to divide Texas into
four States, with eight bogus Senators
Hence their election of bogus Congressman
IN the South. All this is done to vote down
Northern Democrats, and allow them tc
complete their plans.

Internal Revenue Decisions.

The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
has made the following decisions:
Concerning Claims for taxes Improperly y
Paid: Claims for taxes improperly paid un'
der the excise law may be made to the Conn
missioner of Internal Revenue, through the
Collectors of the respective districts, supporl
ted hy the allidavils of the claimants and the
certificates under whose discretion the taxes
were assessed.
Regarding Manufacturers of Cabinet Ware,
and Manufacturers and Dealers in Furniture;
Looking glass and picture frames are manu-
tactures, and subject to tax as such but
merely placing mirror or picture in II
frame does not constitute a new manufacture,
nor render the article liable to additional
taxation.
Furniture finished with the exception of
oling, waxing, painting or vanishing; on
which the excise duty has been paid, shall
not be subject to additiona taxation in con
sequence of such oling, waxing painting or
vanishing. The mere addition of a malb e
sab to tables or other furniture is not con-
srued rs the production of a new manufct
ure, provided the taxes on the material have
been paid When all the different parts Of
a piece of furniture are got out, shaped and
finished, ready TO be put together, and tax
is paid for the furniture as a whole; the putt
ting together the different parts will not be
considered a manufacture.
On Bonds and Mortgages: When bond

instrument shall have its appropriate stamp.

Grand Row between Soldiers and Negroes
at Memphis

A member Of the Fifth Ohio Volunteer
Cavalry, now in the hospital at Memphis,
and a reliable man, writing to a friend gives
the following information, which, by request
was published in an Ohio paper
OvERroN HospITAL, CITY OF MEMPHIS,
TENNESSEE, Oct, 10Th, 1861.
This hospital is under the control of Dr.
Derby, ID Abohtlonist, who is feeding
some four hundred runaway negroes. He
does not allow the soldier as much liberty
as Cuifee. Last Tuesday a negro called a
soldier liar. The soldier struck him with
a cane. For this Derby had him bucked
and gagged for fire hours! On Wednesday
last, one If the negroes struck a soldier who
had his arm shot off in the late battle at
Cornth. Derby bad him bucked and gag
ged, but in less than five minutes there was
a rush of soldiers, who released their broth
room of "Is Cuhee's Majesty" Qerby),
who only saved his wool by leaving the hes
pital. The soldiers then turned their at
lenton to clearing the hospital of its woody
inmates. Knocking down and dragging out
was the game for half an hour. BY this
time Gen. Sherman arrived with one bat
talon Of infantry. Lieut.. Wright, of The
36th Indiana, boldly demanded our rights
of Gen. Sherman. Our complaint was
heard, the case investigated, and Derby disl
missed. Gen. Sherman says no conlrabands
shall be kept in this hospital. Brother, do
you think that neerodom and the cursed
Abolition party, will be the means of the
final destruction and overthrow of this once
powerful, popular and glorious republic9

In times gone by, and in
the halls of the Legislature during the past
few days, there haze been sneers INDUCED
in at the expense Of what certain parties are
pleased to term "ChivaIry." Now we have
had pretty fair specimens of the chivaIry of
the present Legislature in the epithets of
"liar" and "fasehood," bandied back and
forth in the caucus of Tuesday night-nei.
ther of which ep'thets were resented at the
time or since. On last evening MI. Palm
er, Republican member of the Assembly
from San Francisco, and Mr.. Barstow, See.
retary of the Republican State Central
Committee, both slalwart men, met in the
room of the Sargeant'at Arms of the House,
when the latter, addressing the Legislator,
said promised to say to you the first
time met you, that you were a liar and
scoundrel." This was not resented at the
time, bat Palmer subsequently said to Barr
stow-"l understand you said you were
going to bark my nose the first time we
met" To which Barstow replied-"Sir,
have pronounced you liar and scoundre
and yon have not resented it; do not wish
you to talk to me any more" when the
conference ended without personal injury to
either party.-Sac. Republican, Jun Goth.
