-CoNEEDERATE IRON RAMS AT LIVER
pooL.--It appears that there is reason to
believe that thesbuilders of the Alabama,
undeterrod by the declaration of the legal
representatives df the crown that the build
ing Of that vessel was an offensc against
the laws Of tho country, are about to
launch t,co powcrful iron. plated steel rams
to prey upon the commerce of tie United
States. 1t will be disgrace to the couii-
try and to the administration of our laws
if these vessels are allowed to leave the
Mersey. 1t appears, however, that there
islno time to be lost, as one of them is said
to be on the point of sailing tomorrow
The duty Of the government in such a
case is as plain as it is urgent,
If there is good ground TO suspect the
character and destination of these vessels,
their departure ought TO be arrested if need
be, by telegraph and without moments
unnecessary delay, until the charges against
them, have been fully investigated.-Lon-
don Ncps, Aug. 26. "

The CoNsoRIpTIoN LAw.-lmportant
Decision. Judge Cadwalader, of the Uni
ted States District Court in Philadelphia,
decided an interesting case few DAYS ago.
1t appears that's man named Single, who
alleged that he was between 35 and As
years Of age, and married, was drafted in
the first class to he called on for military
service. He claimed exemption, but the
board of enrolment, after hearing evil
dence, disallowed his claim and ordered
him to report for duty. Stingle, under the
impression that Congress did not contem-
plate, in passing the act, that the de-
cision of the board of enrolment should
be final upon claims for exemption, took
a-writ of habeas corpus before Judge Cad
walader, who, after hearing the same deci-
ded that the decision of the board was not
final, and that no person over 35 years of
age, if married, could be legally drafted
in the first class.

Cause of the War.

The AbolitiDnists say that "slavery is
the cause of the war" If that were so,
this Uhion was originally framed to pro-
duce civil wary because slavery was an
essential element of the Union, and twelve
of the original thirteen States that COM
posed the Union were slave States. Was
it notsa gross folly, as we'll as wrong, that
twelve slaEe States s6onld center into a
perpetual political Union, if il were posi-.
BILE that an institution common to oil
could ever become, legitimately, a cause
ofsstrife and division among them? To
charge slavery with this war, is to charge
the good and wise men who framed this
Union with the crime of uniting States
which contained an element of future dis
cord land confict. Bat they made no
such lIpion. ID The institution of slavery,
which existed in all but one of the origi,
nal States of the Union, never became a
source or means of national disunion, un-
ill fanatical party in New England be-
gan a political crusade against slavery as
national sin, and asserted the unconstitu-
tional doctrine that the General Govern
ment could lawfully interfere with it in
the States and prohibit it in the unorgan-
lied Territories of the Republic Then
the trouble that has eliminated in civil
war began, and the source of the strife is
to be traced to the bad faith that has
lately opposed an institution which was
accepted, in the beginning, as one of the
conditions of the Union.--Greensbwg

REVENUE DEo1sIoN.-The Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue has decided
thatin a Icase where testator dies bequeath-
ing an estate in money to his wife and
and daughter for life, with the remainder
to the survivor, after the death of the sur
vivor the same to go to remote kindred, 1.-The
tax upon the whole estate must be paid be-
fore the executor makes any distribution.
The life interest of the wife is to be esti.
mated by approved tables of life annuities,
upon which interest no tax is to be
charged. The interest of the daughter,
computed by the same tables, is taxed
three. .fourths of one per cent. The re-
mainder of the estate, bequeathed to re-
mote kindred, is to be taxed one and one
half per cent. 't''5.

ARREST OF, A HoRsB THIEF One daylast week
man, whose name we could not learn, was
committed to Jail for stealing two horses, the
property of two persons living about eight miles
from Lancaster, Pa. Their loss was soon dis
covered, and one Of them started in pursuit and
overlook him al the Hartford Furnace, where he
found him trying to dispose Of the stolen proper
ty., The reason which he gave for taking the
horses was, that some one had stolen two horses
from him some time previous, but this explana-
ton did not appear satisfactory to the owner and
he was brought to jail. H. 49,.

French Vessels for the Confederates.

~ -.
The Paris correspondent of the London
I Flote gives report that sundry vessels,
on the Alabama model, were being bull
for the Confedefates in french ports
The proceedings were conducted with
much secrecy, but the fact had nevertheless
leaked out. The writer points out that,
inasmuch as the French government en-.
joys supreme control'in such matters with.
out being hedged in with legal restric
tions, as in England, they will be fully
responsible to the Federal government for
8 such. infractions of international law as
they may permit. .g5 frs

be borne in mind that that step was long

ment, and deferred only out of "a wish not

tom or not is matter for conjecture, but
We all know how it will be viewed at

An Opinion from Hon. Thaddeus Ste
Yens on the CONSUMPTION Law.

The Lancaster Erpress publishes the
following opinion of the Hon. Thaddens
Stevens in regard to the effect of the $500
Communication by drafted man
' g LANCASTER, August ~, 1863 {
Dear Sir: In answer to your inquiry,
my opinion is that the payment Of the
$500 communication and furnishing sub
stitute have precisely the same effect
Either Of them frees the drafted man from
further draft for three years. He is in
effect in service, either by himself or au-
other. The payment Of $500 makes the
government his agent to procure substi-
tute. The government has consented to
act as such agent. The law says be may
"on Or before the day fixed for bis appear
ance furnish an acceptable substitute, or
pay such sum not exceeding $500 for the
procuration Of substitute, and thereupon
the person furnishing the substitute, or
paying the money, shall be discharged
from further liability under that draft. %
No one doubts that furnishing substitute
excuses for three years. To give a differ
ent effect to the payment IF the commuta-
tion seems to- me little less than an absur-
dity. 1t is a very mischievous miscon-
struction, which, if need be, have no
doubt, Congress will correct. 1' .'

: t. From the Cork Constitution.
Blockade Runners. n'A !

There is now lying at a. shipbuilding
yard Of the Cork Steamship Company, a
curious looking craft She is named the
Alliance, and wrs originally designed for
2 pleasure steamer to ply on the Mersey,
between Liverpool and place called East
ham, When plying on. the Mersey she
slha had division along the centre, from stem
to stern, as completely as if her two parts
were were two separate ships lying side by side.
sIn this space she had single, paddle
wheel, by which alone she was propelled,
apd this had 50 much power, added TO
The lightness Of her build, that she had a
speed Of twenty knots,an hour. She had
been purchased by a Liverpool firm for the
purpose Of, running the, blockade Of the
Southern portslof America, and to ft her out
for this purpose, considerable alterations
have been made, both in, her structure
and machinery. The paddle-whecl, which
was in the centre, has been removed /; in
the space occupied BY it hold has been
made, thus filing up the division, and she
has been furnished with q pair Of paddles
making her appear like the ordinary pad-
die I, steamers !; She has three tunnels
placed in the line across, between the pad.
dle-boxes,i With the view Of resisting the
rough salutations which are generally dealt
out to blookade-runners By the Yankee
Squadron, she has been fitted ,with sn
outer shell, or coat Of timber, below the
water line. . 'o ,.,.s ! III, .-.,,., o. ,' ,a,
The space between this and the vessel
herself can be filed with cotton, which il
is considered, viii feffettually resist the
Yankee missiles To obviate the danger
of ignition, this space can be filed with
water immediately, without in the least
