on what has come to them by way oftaxes, col
lected according to law. These same institu.
tions, for such they have become in the village
Of "U. S." one year ago demanded law for
soldiers, that they might have the right to vote
in other States.
The law was finally made, but in the mean
time these same officials became rather suspi

for the Union and those who sustained it, and
their hatred of traitors and their sympathizes,
would not support them, and hence they have
been deprived of their official robes, and now,

his wife and children are sufferng-dying-
