u The Superintendent of Common Schools
for Benton county, in this State, after due and
public investigation, on the 7th inst, revoked
the certificate of teacher of Harrison town
ship, in that county, named Allen, for uttering
and intoxicating disoyal and traitorous senti-
ments among his pupi.s and generally elswhere.
The charge was fully proved, and the Superin-
tendent held that It was bis duty to withdraw
the certificate which authorized the employment
Of the defendant as teacher in the public
schools Of the county. We don't know whether
or not that decision is constitutional ~ but We
are certain that it was sensible and patriotic
The disloyal should not only be spurned from our
public schools, but from every other public EN-
poyment. If they want Office let them go down
to Dixie among the other traitors.

II The Chicago Tribune has received large
number of letters written BY Illinois Copperheads
to soldiers in the army, with the aim of inducing
desertion. Il publishes a number for the in
formation OF the public. The intelligence they
display is about equal to their patriotism and
verscity. What amount of these sufices for an
average Copperhead most people have ample op
portunity for determining. The soldiers who
send them home to expose the villains appear to
have an accurate opinion Of their character.

TYRANNY IN DIx1E.-The Chivalry in Virgin
Ia, who seeded for the purpose of better se-
curing their ''rights," are beginnieg to realize
their securities. They do not seem to be en-
inently satisfactory. In fact they appear to
have collapsed completely. They wanted
peace, and have gotwar. They were anxious
to till their soil and whip their negroes with.
out interference, instead of which they are con.
scripted into the army, their negroes disap-
pear, and they, themselves, obey master with
bayonets to enforce his orders They were
to become incontinenty rich; the whole world
was to bow before "Klng Cotton and the
"nigger aristocracy." The world wags on
without cotton, none are so low as to do them
reverence. and Starvation, gaunt and horrible,
stalks around their hearthstones. They set
up Government which was to prove model
for the present and the future, upon the excel.
lent foundation Of negro slavery! But their
rulers have improved upon the plan so far that
at this moment it is fair to say that there is
not free man in all Dixie' Verify. they
have got their "rigats" in a fashion that does
not exactly please them. They begin to re-
pent Of their folly. Their voices begin to cry
out against the tyranny they have created
As an example of their complaints, the follows
ing remarks from Mr.. Anderson, in the Legis.
lature Of Virginia, will suffice. He complains,
and others do likewise. Yet they are likely to
complain still more bitterly before they obtain
redress.
"We are now living" he said, "under q
tyranny as complete as that which was exer-
cised by the Lincoln Government, and it was
owing solely to the noble patriotism of our
people that they have submitted as they have
What right, be would ask has Confederate
functionary to seize his property without law,
and to allow one half its value for its compen-
sation? There was no law that authorized the
Confederate Government to take property, and
as far as it withheld compensation, it was rob.
berry and oppression; and he, for one, was not
willing to submit to it, If We were to have
tyranny, it mattered not whether We have
1t from one Government or another; but no
free people would submit to tyranny from any
source"

ca The success of the Yazoo Expedition in
the capture of the rebel transports and gun
boats on that river is an important event. The
rebels are thus fanked at Vicksburg and will
probably evacua,e that place if they have not
already. This is a hard blow for the Copper-
heads and secessionists and damages the Gold
spectators, knocking down the premium to 5S.

u 1t is said that the Supreme Court of the
United States, at its recent session, unanimously
decided that stocks Of the Uuited States are not
taxable by authority of any of the States. The
decision was made in the case of The People of
the State of New York, against the Bank of
Commerce.. The right to tax was affirmed by
the New York Court of Appeals, carried thence
oy writ of error to the U. S. Supreme Court,
and there reversed The opinion of the latter
Court was BY Justice Nelson.

B The notorious vaandgham reached his
home, at Dayton, Ohio, on the 18th inst There
was Of course an assemblsge of Copperheads to
greet him, and Of course the fellow made a
speech, of the Copperhead sort. We suppose
the miserable traitor will now subside. Con-
gress is at last rid Of bis presence, and the pro-
liability Of his ever again occupying public
position in this country is enthusiastically slen-
der. II be would go down into Dixie We don't
know but his chances would be improved. But
even there we fear they would despise him.

az The Cincinnati Enquirer declares that the
Boston Post is 10 longer democratic AUTHORITY
that it 'has backslidden from the democratic
faith" The Chicago Times makes similar de-
clarations in regard to the Chicago Post. The
sole trouble with these two journals, appears to
be that they do not believe it exactly right to
submit to the dissolution Of the Union at the
dictation of armed rebels and traitors They
appear to discuss all matters of public policy, all
public measures and public men from the same
platform ard on the same principles as in times
past. Butthey believe with Jackson-that the
:" Federal Union must be preserved" For this
the Copperhead press denounces them, and af,
firms that they are no longer democratic! In
other words the test of democracy ,ow, is oppo.
stion to the Union and the support of the re-
belliou All who do this, according to these
Copperhead papers, are sound democrats Those
who do not, are Aboitionists" JEFF. Davis,
and every Southern traitor, can fill the bill. No
loyal man can. How then, can any man who
would preserve the Union, continue to act or as
sociate with these self convicted and attrocious
williams?

ARRESTED Judge Cbas. Il. Constable, Judge
of the 4.h Judicial District OF Illinois, was arr
rested few days since by Col. Carrns ton, IN
der orders from Major General Wright, for in.
terferug judicially with the arrest of desertera.
COL Darlington reached Indianapolis with his
prisoner, on the 18th inst, where the Judge is
still detained in custody. The Judge had proba.
bly, been studying the Copperhead Times instead
of the laws. He will have ample time and occa-
sion to repent of HE folly, most likely.

Tho copperhead. W. con.crip,,on Act.

The CoPperheads are making any amount of
capital OF Of the $500 exemption clause in the
Consumption Act. Their Interpretation Of it is,
that every man who can pay $500 can procure
exemption, and that all who cannot pay that sum
will be compelled to 60. The language of the
section tl3) is this: "That any person drafted
and notified to appear as aforesaid may, on or
before the day fixed for his appearance, furnish
acceptable substitute to take bis place IN the
draft, or ne may pay to such person as the Sec
Rotary of War may authorize to receive it, such
sum, not exceeding three hundred dollars as the
Secretary may determine, for the procuration Of
euch substitute"
Now it is observable that this is only limits>
eion OF the pecuniary equivalent; and tina. i, does
not imply that this amount must necessarily be
paid under all circumstances to procure exemp-
ton. The Secretary cannot ask more that $500
OF any one. de can receive less sum. if he
thinks the circumstances justify the exemption
The enactment is really in favor OF the poor IL an
for it is designed to protect him from the exact
lions OF men who Offer themselves as substitutes
These men have sometimes asked exorbi,au,
sums; and their demands must be met. or the
person drafted must go.
The law provides that no one shall nav more
than $500. The conditions of the CONSUMPTION
nave not vet been announced BY the Secretary
OF War. When they are announced, we believe
everything will be satisfactory, at least to all
loysl people. The attempts which are being
made to prejudice the industrial classes agains,
the CONSUMPTION act is ouly another of the man
damning evidences of the reasonable designs @,
the Comprehend party. They prophecy resis-
lance. We prsphecy two things:
l. These towards will not head the resistauts
They will do all they can TO egg them on, and
then keep out of the way themselves
2. They who try resistance will be zeal, with
in such way that one trial will be all-sufficent
The loyal sentiment of the people will sustain
this just aud necessary enactment.
