1t has been the practice of importers in all
ports of the United States heretofore, TO enter
their inportations by the original invoice, and
If they proved to be damaged by water,
then to call for damage warrant and reap
praisment of the same, in order TO procure a
deduction on the duties for that portion dam
aged.
We learn that in the United States Circuit
Court, in the case of Philo S. Shelton uersus
Arthlr w. Austin, Judge Clifford has given
an elaborate opinion upon the subject of the
entry of damaged goods. The Court decides
that the above named practice is informal aid
illegal. The opinion is too long for us TO give
in full, but after enuinerating the various acts
OF Congress. &C., relating to the matter, it
goes on to state in substance, that for an inn
porter to avail himself Of any deduction from
the duties on account of damage, he must call
for damage warrant first, and before he
makes his entry; for when the entry on the
original invoice is made. il is beyond the pow
er of the collector, or Secretary of the Treas
ury, to alter the original entry, without vio-
lating positive law" Damaged goods are TO
be treated like goods taken from a wreck,
which, before they can be admitted to entry
must be appraised. See act April 20, 1918.

Personal.

Our consul at Paris, Mr. Bgelow, has just
published a work called LES Etats Unis d.
Amerique en- 1863" which supplies a want
very seriously felt by the French public. The
book is historical and statistical. NJ. Labou-
laye pronounces it the most valuable collec-
ton of information respecting the United
States, which has ever been presented to the
French.
The Count de Paris has painted a large pic
ture of the Battle of Gaines Mills" from
which photographs have been taken and sew
eral sept to this country. Among the por-
traits introduced, those of Fitz Jshn Porter,
who was then in command Baron De RADIO
witt, Capt. Montieth, Due de Chartres. GEN
eral Morrell, General Meade, and the artist
are readily distinguishable.
Guiccioli, Byron's old mistress, is writing
the Childe's life. She is sixty years old, wears
flaxen wig, false teeth and rouge, and is a
married woman, and is vain enough to be-
leve she is still handsome.
A son of the Prince de Joinville is now in
the naval academy of the United States at
Newport. His mother was a sister of the
present emperor of Brazil, and in case of the
death of the two daughters of the emperor,
and of the children OF Donna Jamsaria, his
eldest sister, the Orleans member of our naval
academy would become the emperor OF Bra
I'll; or he might effect such result in a short
er and easier way, by marrying the immediate
heir, his pretty cousin Isabella.

A Demand and the Response.

viii the Press explain how an unconditional
Abolitionist can be an unconditional Union man?
We have asked this question several times but
cannot obtain an answer.-[A Advertiser.
This is the first time we have noticed the above
question in the Advertiser; aud we certainly
see 10 formidable difficulty involved in giving
a direct answer. In the first place it may be
proper to say that the Press has never con-
tended for unconditional abolition" nor does
it now. The Press is contented with the grad
ual but certain abolition that is being brought
about through the folly and madness of South
ern traitors.
But fi will satisfy the Advertiser any bet
ter we will be more explicit, and say that, if
he viii allow unconditional abolition to con-
sist with prudent means and carefully laid
plans to secure its certain accomplishment,
then we will unequivocally assert that an I'M
conditional Union man must of necessity he
an unconditional aboltionist, and, more than
this, that none but an unconditional abolition
ist-with the qualification suggested-can lie
an intelligent unconditional Union man. Up
on this position we are willing to stand, and if
we cannot defend it we will go down with it.
We can be both Internationally for the Union
and Internationally opposed to slavery, and
believing that slavery is the antagonist of the
Union,a and the thing which win destroy the I'M
ion if destroyed at all, we would wage war
for the unconditional abrogation of IL as the
means of securing the perpetuity of the Union
beyo nd all conditions. This is but a round
about way Of expressing what Webster com
pressed into a single sentence: Liberty and
Union, now and forever, one and insepara-
blen
If slavery is trrong then the abolition of
slavery is right, and as the Union is right, we
see no inconsistency or clash in being uncon-
ditionally committed to both. If the editor of
the Advertiser feels called upon to commit
himself to wrong that he may suhserve the
cause OF right, he is to be pitied. We see
our duty in no such light. Our Government
processes TO be erected on the triple founda-
ton Of Justice, Righteousness, and Truth. If
anything opposed to these has got underneath
our governmental structure, we are uncon-
ditionally for putting it out of the way, and
we do not believe the Union edfce will suffer
by SO doing.

NEW YORK, April %
The mail of the steamer Peterhof has been
delivered to the British Consul, Judge Belts
ruling that the District Attorney is master of
the case, as public prosecutor, and ii he re-
fused TO allow the mails TO be opened and ask
ed that they be delivered up, he was entitled
thereto.
A Washington letter to the Post says there
is to be a second attack on Charleston, and
Dupont will probably lead it, and the time of
making it is left to his Judgment
The Worlds Washington dispatch says three
weeks ago 1t is understood that information
was in Washington from an undoubted source
that the strength of the enemy on the Kappa
hammock was 10000 effective men, the main
portion being some ten miles in the rear of
Fredericksburg.
The Peterhoif case was up to-day in the
Cabinet. The meeting was iull with the ex-
ception of Mr. Chase. All the official docu-
ments were on the table. The impression de-
rived from indications after the breaking up
was that the majority of the Presidents con-
stitutional advisers were in favor OF holding

The Argus admits that our recent article in
relation to its bad memory was written in ex-
cellent temper, and with an apparent DISPOSE
ton to fairness" and in its long reply to that
article it exhibits a more amiable spirit than
it has usually manifested in its discussions with
the Press. We certainly shall not be behind
our nelghbor in courtesy or fairness, and for
this reason we have no desire to push tie al
legation that it pleaded for dissolution, or that,
under foreseen circumstances, it would consent
to separation of the States of the Union.
That paper said:
We never in any form expressed willingness
even TO assent to a separation under any circum-
stances.
We thought the Argus was at least simply
mistaken on this point, and suggested that it
had forgotten the following utterauce of the
18th of April, 1861:
suspension of hostile movements may
doubtless be obtained on both sides until the
people can be directly consulted. And if it
shall then appear as the result, that they will
not agree TO terms upon which free and slave
States can live together in peace, then let peace
full separation be arranged.
ly made, but denies that 1t either bears out
our allegation, or in any way conflicts with
the other sentence above copied from his col
umns. Here is precisely where we disagree
with him. We don't see as he does. We
think he did assent TO separation" under
circumstances which he suggested, that is, in
the event of a non-agreement of the people,
during suspension of hostile movements"
on terms upon which free and slave States
can live together in peace, but he denies that
such was his meaning, or that such is fair
construction of his language. His denial,
though it cannot change our opinion of the
fact, requires to believe, in charity, that his
language conveyed a meaning that he now
disowns, and did not intend, and while we
continue to think he was exceedingly unfortu-
nate in the use of language to convey the
meaning he now avows, We give him the full
benefit of his disclaimer. The Argus asks us
TO copy his article or to Withdraw our charge
As we have copied the statements in his paper
upon which we based what he terms the
charge" and as We have copied his denial of
the meaning we attached to those statements.
we do not see that fairness calls upon us to
more. We leave the reader TO decide who
has made out his case.

linen, there Utu be no one to tight, and there
",eiu then be a prospect Of speedy close Of
"the tcdr--d thing most earnestly to be desir-
"ed.' Children and fools tell the truth, says
the proverb. This is plain talk at any rate.
This then is what the Advertiser means by
"equalizing the CONSUMPTION" To eQualize
seems to be very much the same thing as to
circumrent.
This then is the latest device OF the Demo-
cratic peace party. Suppose fol-, moment
that this absurd chimera, born of impotent
rage, the imaginary offspring of barren per-
plexity, could be realized. The drafting would
of course go on, till three hundred dollars
men in the State not otherwise exempt. The
money for this purpose conld only be raised
at exorbitant rates. Who would feel most
keenly the consequent taxation? 1t would
not be the rich men, who would advance the
money at such rates of interest as they might
choose in such an exigency to impose; not
the rich men, who would turn an honest pen
ny by buying in the little estate of the artisan
or laborer sold under the hammer for taxes
not they indeed. Their share of the general
burden might easily be borne, with such a
double stream of prosperity pouring in upon
them. This is what they mean by "equaizng
the CONSUMPTION" This is their painful sym
pathy for the poor. They would defeat the
desire of the people in this war; consent to
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Republic, our pride,
the worlds hope; and involve the productive
classes, whose well being is the highest in
terest Of society, in whirlpool of bankruptcy
and universal beggary. Shame on these vul-
lures, ready to prey on the vitals of our
American Prometheus thus chained to his
mount of torment.
Is there any danger that this scheme will
be adopted? Not the least. These foul birds
are not vnltures, but buzzards. Their intense
malgnity is surpassed by intenser stupidity
We wish simply to put it on record, that the
Democratic party has commenced deliberately
and in accordance with previous understand
ing among the managers, and will for a short
time continue, to advocate general bankruptcy
as one alluring feature of the shameful and
temporary peace it would force upon the
nation.
