Murder in ohio-Arrest of the Oulprit.

MuIutI III Oulo ATItsL VI Tue OUlpTlt,
There is great excitement In Cleveland, and
throughout Northern Ohio, about the murder
of a man by the name of James Ward, pro-
prietor OF the Vulcan Iron Works, at Niles,
Ohio, and one OF the most respectable, wealthy
and influential men in that region. The facts,
in brief, are these:
Frank Robbins had been living with Mrs.
Lydia Stevenson, whose husband had been
killed in the fight at Kelley's Bridge, Ken
lucky. Since his death Robbins and Mrs
Stevenson occupied house owned by Mr..
Ward, who gave the woman notice 10 quit
This aggravated them, and Rollins shot Ward,
and he and his paramour escaped TO Canada,
where they were found by Buffalo police
officer.
A reward of $4,000 had been offered for the
arrest of Robbins, and that generous sum
stimulated the officers who were on his track.
They chased him twenty miles, and brought
him back to Fort Erie. A reward of $1,000
was offered for the arrest of Mrs. Stevenson.
She is also arrested. For awhile they were
in Jail in Canada, and the officer used green
backs quite freely, aud the Fort Erie magis-
trate gave way under that influence and un-
locked the prison door.
We suppose there has been in this case a
clear violation of the Ashburton Treaty, but
it is said that the prisoners consented to ac-
company their captors to the States and have
a trial If they were once incarcerated on a
magistrates warrant, they could not be lib
Grated from Jail except by due process of
law

The 7-30 Bonds---A Suggestion.

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t seems to me that, as citizens of this city,
honored as the home of the Secretary of
be in taking up the 7-30 bonds. Men of large
means may see the advantages which this
loan offers, and invest in it to some extent,
but to make it popular the whole community
should be well posted and induced to sub
scribe. And in order TO bring this more fully
before the public, 1 would suggest las the
Hon. Secretary is now here on a visit that he
be consulted with regard to calling a public
meeting in the City Hall, on such an evening
as he may think best, that all may have the
privilege Of hearing from him statement of
the financial condition Of the Treasury, and
that subscriptions be solicited on the spot.
After this is accomplished, we should some of
us volunteer to visit the villages throughout
the State, and give an opportunity to any and
all to invest in these bonds, and in this way a
large amount might be raised, which would
alike benefit the lender and the Government
think that experience shows that it is not
alone to the capitalists we must look for ma
terial aid. Very many persons throughout
this State have money by them in small guam
titles, from $50 to $1,000 or more, and these
amounts, when brought together, will not
only swell the sale of the bonds, but will serve
as strong cement to hold our country to-
gether. This is the peoples war, and they
,ciH carry it on, not only by linen and mus
cle," but by the stronger sinews of war, "ma-
terial aid" Who will move in this matter.

JEFF. Davis insists upon the recognition of
Southern independence and the breaking up
of the federal Union as the first condition of
peace; Abraham Lincoln insists, as the condi-
ton Of peace, that the Union shall be presery-
ed and its authority respected.
jeff Davis would break up the Union to ex-
tend slavery and render it perpetual; Abra-
ham Lincoln would have slavery abandoned
In the revolutionary states, that it may not
again acquire strength and lift its hand against
the Union Of our fathers.
JEFF Davis would found an empire on hui
man slavery as its chief corner-stone Abra-
ham Lincoln would make Freedom the basis
of a reconstructed Union, that Liberty and
Union may be one and inseperable, now AID
forever.
Such are the positions of the two men,
one the rebel chief, the arch conspirator, the
guilty traitor, whose life is forfeited to offend
ed laws, and whom the gallows may Justly
claim as its victim; the other the constitution
al President of great nation, who is seeking
only to protect the life and promote the pros
perity Of that nation.
While the two men named occupy positions
SO widely different, the prtriotic O. Portland
Advertiser can see no difference between
them; considers them equally fanatcal, and
equally deserving of public discredit and con-
demnation. In other words, to the mind OF
the Advertiser Slavery and Freedom are
equally entitled to respect, and destruction of
the national Union for the benefit of Slavery
is an object to be favored quite as much as the
destruction of Slavery that Liberty and Union
may live forever.

Ofiice of Internal Revenue,
Washington. Jnlv oO 1894

washington, July 80, 1864.
Decision in reference to Bill Heads Drint-
ed, printed Cards, and printed Circulars.
The Act of June Both, under the 9th Sec
ton, provides that on bill heads printed.
printed cards andl printed circulars, a duty of
3 per centum shall be levied, assessed and col
lected.
As the law is particular in enumerating
these three different kinds or specimens of
job printing, without reference to any other,
the inference is clear that all articles of Job
printing not included under either the head
OF bill heads, cards or circulars, are exempt
from tax.
Bill heads can refer only to the printed
headings used by merchants, manufacturers
and others in rendering accounts of goods or
services, DC, and does not refer to printed
headings Of official or other letter paper.
Printed cards include cards of business
and cards of civiIity, railway tickets and
checks, tickets for theatres, concerts, exhibi-
tions, shows &c, whether printed ON paste
board, cardboard, card paper or any other
kind of paper.
Printed circulars include not only circulars
intended to be sent through the mails, but al
so printed notices, programmes, posters &C.,
whether circulated through the mail or BY
carriers, or posted upon the streets, highways,
in stores, hotels, inns or taverns, or in any
other public place.

Late Items of War News

The following items of war news we clip
from the special dispatch to the Boston Ad-
vertiser, dated Washington Aug. It'll.
Our government has nothing TO confirm the
rebel report of the capture of General Stone
man and five hundred OF his men.
Rebel dispatches OF the "a indicate that
Sherman has complete command of the situa-
ton at Atlanta. He treats the enemy to an
hours Smelling morning and evening, and is
said to be massing and swinging his force
around to the westward Of the city.
Hoods official report of the battle of the
18th says that no decisive advantage ensued
to either side, but he claims that they held
their ground. Other dispatches say their loss
was only about 1900.
The rebels admit a loss of but | 100 killed
and wounded and 800 prisoners in the battle
of a week ago in front of Petersburg. They
claim to have captured nineteen battle flags
Our special adyices from in front of Peters
burg are that the rebels exploded their mine
early Saturday morning. That they were at
work upon one had long been known, and The
fort they expected to demolish had been evac-
uated. Their work, however, was at fault,
and the explosion threw up heap OF earth,
etc, some distance Ia front, but left the fort
mainly unframed. They opened furious
cannonade after the explosion, which also ac-
complished but little damage. OF their charg
ng force but fifty or sixty succeeded in reach
ing the fort, and they were all killed or cap
tured
The Portland daily press., 1864-08-09
Incidents at Petersburg.

An army correspondent says that during the
fight in the breach caused by the mine explo-
sion on Saturday, rebel officer, who had
boldly pushed forward to the crater, attacked
Major Gregg of the 45th Pennsylvania, and
after short contest was run through by the
Major. who then found himself unable to dis
engage his sword. Gen. Bartlett, previously
disabled by the fracture OF his artificial leg,
had been witness of the encounter, and
now. unbuekling his own sword, said -
Here, Major, take my sword; you know
how TO use it,
After the expiration Of the time allotted
for the burning Of the fuse at Petersburg
without an explosion, half an hour was con-
sumed in finding a man willing TO volunteer
to enter the mine, at the risk Of being buried
alive, TO find out the difficulty. A gallant fell
low, whose name is not recorded, finally Of
fered, followed up the fuse till he found the
damp spot. relghted it, and had just time to
escape before the explosion.
