hopes Of powerful and speedy aid TO thei

and Absolutism that the Shareholders Rebellion
wos identical in spirit and purpose with their

upon; but Bishop Lynch has gone further

GEN. SmHRMANAND THE NEGROES

We republsh this morning, from our Satur-
DAYS evening edition, the special order of Gen.
Sherman, setting Gpart "the islands from
Charleston south, the abandoned rce-felds
along the rivers, for thirty miles back from the
sea, and the country bordering the ST. John
River, Florida" for the settlement Of the en-
franchised negroes. By the terms Of the or.
der, the blacks at Beaufort, Hilton Head
Savannah, ferDandina, St. Augustine and
jacksonville, are permitted to remain in their
I" chosen or accustomed vocations," but on the
islands and in the proposed settlements they
arc 70 have the sole AMI exclusive manage
ment of G4aira, no whiio person being
permitted to reside among them except
military officers and soldiers detailed Tor
duty. Any three respectable negroes,
heads Of families, may designate an island or
defined locality, which shall then be fet apart
cor them and such Others az may wish to join
them, and srbdiyided into lots Of ~ acres to
each family, with limit Of 300 feet of water
front when bordering On o vater.chenne,. The
young and able-bodied among them are to be
encouraged to enlist in tho military service Of
the United States and duly organized,
lint such service, o. service on board
the gunbosts, in fishing or in the navigation Of
the inland watera, will not interfere with the
title Of such persOns to land or other privileges
belonging to the system. Such are the general
features OF this important Order. which il

Our brief article ON this subject lately has
been understood to question the motives Of the
Member who submitted to tie House the propo-
stion ~ raise Tn, Whisky tax from 50 to So
per gallon. That was not our intention. We
presume his purpos, was good; it was the III
evitable effect Of his measure that we depre.
Gated. Whatever he may purpose, it is the
Whisky "ring" that insidi"usly prompts such
propositions, with an eye TO is own pocket
The present excise on WLisky-S2 per gallon
is high enough-quite as high as can be main
tanned and enforced An advance to SO will
only increase the temptations To smuggling and

-dia WASHINGTON, Aug, 70.
The reason assignedby those who ought to
know for the withdrawal ofthe names of Rob-
ert e. Lee and several Others from the charge
of conspiracy with Werz, Is that those persons
are actually or constructivey in the custody of
the United States, but not on trial. 1t was
seen from the time that Mr.. Baker entered as
counsellor Capt. Werz that he would not long
enjoy amicable relations with the Commission,
and on repeated occasions sharp words passed
between them to-day. He, together with his
associate Withdrew. Werz was very much
hurt at this and inploringly said to Mr. Baker,
"You might stay to help, and you should not
mind if the court does sometimes overrule
you" s
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue to-
day decided that while under the terms of will
the legatee can demand of the executor the
delivery ofgold, he cannot be held to receive a
legacy of money merely, for in such case the
the executor would be discharged by pay
ment in currency, 1t must therefore be stated
as specific legacy or the clear value in eur
rency Of which as the legatee received it
would be taxable When an allowance over
and above the valuation of a specific legacy on
which the tax had been realized by the sale OF
such specific legacy, such advance is regarded
as neither taxable legacy nor income.
