ing inquiries:
!. Does the penalty tS3OO) apply to the
buying or selling of old barrels or e1npty
barrels? The meagre morsel of the law
given in the notice seems to apply the
penalty to empty barrels alone! The
idea OF the Collector, however, seems to
run entirely an old barrels.
Z lfthe penalty applies to old barrels
whether full or empty,) will the COL

when barrel "becomes of agc?''

The New York Times and Tribune
are keeping upn nice controversy about
the late Presidents fortune, which con-
troversy involves debate upon the
point whether $4,000 (the amount left
by Mr.. Lincoln) is fortune or not.
The Tribune insists that Congress will
pay the 100000 if the people do not. 1t
is also said in behalf of the subscrip-
ton that Thomas Jefferson retired from
the Presidency with larger fortune
than $4,000, and yet was utterly beg
CARED before his death by the hospitali-
ties required of him by his position as
public man, and was constrained to
petition the Legislature of Virginia for

its seditious utterances, under PEN
atty of suppression. The resurrected
traitor who edits it has lately been
brandishing some high sounding edito-
rails AS to what Virginia "with her
honor"untarnished and her spirit un-
broken" will and will not submit to.
In consequence of his warming, the
editor (Pollard) asks the kind indul-
gcncc of his readers "for the absence of
matter pertaining TO national and State
policy" He means, we suppose, to
''lie low and chew his calamus" for n

WE surrender large portion of our
editorial space this morning to the
Washington synopsis of an interview
between the President and South
Carolina delegation. There are said TO
be three South Carolina delegations mt
Washington, all seeking interviews, and
strangely enough, all more or less of Sc
cession antccedcnts and sympathics.
We suppose they represent the three
degrees of comparison, and that the one
reported this morning is the nearest APP
proach to Union delegation. It would
seem by the the report that the fire has
been good deal taken out of the
Southern heart, notwithstanding the
smouldering embers that are so plainly
visible in the conversation of these late
tirc-caters. Bitterer than gall and
NORWOOD must it have been for them
to sit down i'll the presence of Johnson,
and hear him talk about their old and
new status. The contrast between once
and now-bctween four years ago and
to-day; between Carolina rampant and
Carolina suppliant, must have i'm
pressed and oppressed them heavily and
very sadly. There they were, gentle
men of the Hugcnot extraction-scions
of tho ''conquering race"-thc patrimo-
NAL legatecs of, perchance, hundred
slaves each-sueing for terms;-aftcr
NIL the boasts of the Butlcrs-the
Kcitts-the Rctts-the Chestnuts-the
Milcses and the Magraths-compelled
to discuss dbolition-not theoretical abo-
lition ainr of, but practical abolition in
South Carolina-abolition in their own
households. What picture of fallen
pride, humiliationa ndlnortifcationw was
the scene of that conference. Poor, de-
luded fanatics, they sowed the wind and
they are reaping an abundant harvest
of the whirlwind.
