EI-Old Marin G--was never re-
garded as paragon of neatness; and
if cleanliness is next unto godllness,
as Ste Paul asserts, it is to be feared that
the old lady never attained to the latter
state. Not only was she anything but
neat herself, but she showed sovereign
contempt for it in others. Speaking of
neat people, one day, she remarked that
her son Josiah was one of the most par
ticular men in the world. "Why," said
she, ''he threw away whole cup of cof-
fee, the other morning, because it had

Mr. LINCOLN sJeKE-A characteristic
story of the President is narrated in a
letter from Washington. When the tele-
graph from Cumberland Gap reached
Lincoln that firing was heard in the
direction of Knoxville" he remarked
that he was Hglad of it. Some person
present who had the perils of Burnside's
position uppermost in his mind, could
not see why Mr.. Lincoln should be "glad
of it, and so expressed himself "Why,

the $500 Clause, Why Its Repeal is
Advocated.
The Washington correspondence the
New York Independent furnishes the
following statement. of the reasons which
impel certain Congressman to so earn
estly urge the abrogation of the section
of the Conscription law which provides
for commutation: -fi
The most important subject before
Congress is that of the Conscription act.
1t is urged with much persistency that
the proposed amendments to the act
should be considered immediately. with
in few days, before the next draft.
The President viii, if it is necessary.

Western members very generally. favor
the abolition of the Communication clause
of the bill, and the Eastern members,
with exceptions, favor its retention. Ii
will probably be repealed, and the next
draft will-give to the Government men
instead of money, and the war will make
itself felt at the North as itlnever has
before. A canvass to-day of the Senate
and House would probably reveal the
fact that the military men in Congress
are opposed to the repeal of the clause
General Schenck and Schofield in the
House incline to the opinion that it is
better to give the people the chance to
escape compulsory service in the army.
Gen. Farnsworth entertains the same
opinion. Mr. Wilson, in the Senate, has
declared his opinion-he advocates the
retention cf the clause, but is ready to
vote for its repeal if the Government de-
sires that it should be- repealed. The
Secretary of war is non-committal upon
the subject. The. Provost Marshal Gem
eral recommends the repeal, but his
opinions are worth no more upon this
subject than those of any other Colonel
in the service The present law would
not be disturbed were it not for the fact
that large number of members of Con-
gress were obliged to meet their oppo-
nents in the recent canvass upon this
very question, and were unable to con-
vince their poor constituents that this

THE LEAF TOBACCO Taxa meeting
of the receivers and exporters of Wes-
tern leaf tobacco was held in New York
last week, at which Mr. Joseph Fatman
presided Its object was to affirm the
inexpediency of the excise tax of twenty
cents per pound on leaf tobacco, as re-
commended by the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, with no-drawback on
exports. 1t was asserted that the sta
tistics of American and foreign tobacco,
the experience gained by long dealing
in the article, and especially the result
brought about by the high prices of leaf
during the last two years, prove that such
a tax would not only injure but almost
.annihilate the export of the American
product, resulting in great loss to the
agricultural, mercantile and shipping IN
terests of the country, and benefiting
alone the foreign growers of tobacco,
and would tend to throw the balanca ot
exchange more than ever against the
| United States to the great detriment OF
| our national currency. The meeting
| also expressed hebehef that the injury tc
the trade of the country would more than
counterbalance the revenue obtained from
the proposed tax, which was iRexpedien
in every point of view. A committee
was appointed to visit Washington anC
consult with the Committee Of Ways anC
Means, laying before them such facts an
statistics on the production and expor
of leaf tobacco, as will best serve the OF
iect of the Government and interfer
least with the interest of trade and con
merce. The cooperation of the trade q
Louisville and other cities was invited
and we are happy to know that this in
portant subject is attracting the deep a
tention and earnest consideration Of on
citizens who are interested in this branC
of business. .-LouisviIIe Journal
