The incomes last year paid reve-
nne of $50, 1914, l35, which was nearly
three times the revenue Of the year
before from the same source. The
cigar smokers contributed for the
support of the Government SO, 474, :
43S, and the chewers and tobacco
smokers nearly four times as much.
Distilled spirits gave revenue of
500, 1913, 576; and the Commissioner
thinks the Government loses more
by evasion under this head than
under any other, except, possibly,
that OF income.
A letter from London says: eff a
war does come, and England cannot
keep ont Of it, everybody knows that
an army can land on the coast, and in
three marches take London and its
great arsenal, WoolwicA, when Eng
land would be utterly powerless and
at the mercy of the invader; for there
is but one great arsenal, one military
depot; and the little army, defeated
in one action, has no line to fall back
upon, and no reserves"
Colonel James J. Bomford, com
manding the military department in
the Carolipas, has directed the com
missaries Of his command to obtain,
from the chief commissary of the
department, fnll supplies of bread
stutfs and meats for the subsistence
of the destitute whites and blacks in
that department.

Cold WEATHER. Yesterday we
had another fall of snow, which
seemed to commence tremendously
in earnest; but the reception it met
with was so warm q one, that it soon
"l-,@.ied up Last night the old frost
king stole upon us like the thief in
the night" and this morning the
wind was piercing and keen. The
mountains beyond us are covered
with snow, and present the appear

Sunday Morning, Dec. 80, 1865.
Two Barriers.

That insane radical and bad man,
Forney, in his Chronicle, speaking of
the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court pronouncing the illeSality of
military commissions for the trial of
civilians, utters the following Ian
guage:
"Treason, vanquished upon the
battlefield and hunted from every
other retreat, has at last found q Sc
cure shelter in the bosom of the Su-
prenle Court. This extra
ordinary decision viii doubtless
receive the serious attention of Con-
gress at "a early day"
And suppose it does attract the
attention of the so-called Congress.
We have yet left two sufficient bar
riers against the insane measures OF
destruction which that cabal passes,
in the executive and judicial depart
ments Of the Government. SO long
as public sentiment holds in high
esteem the chief judicial tribunal, and
so long as the Executive is comman-
der-in-c chief of the land and naval
forces of the United States, the peo-
pie are comparatively safe from the
execution of revolutionary edicts.
We further believe that the masses
of the Northern people will never
consent that the temples of justice be
laid violent hands upon by these
radical vandals. The Supreme Court,
since the earliest days of the Govern
ment, has been the strong palladium
of the rights and liberties of the peo-
pie, and cannot be permitted to fall a
victim to the destructives in Con-
gress. An assault upon it would be
an assault upon about all that is left
us of conservative Republicanism, as
left by the founders of the Govern
ment.
The Southern people, under their
extraordinary trials, have only to
persevcre in their present course of
conduct; patient, but firm, manifest
ing their full reliance on the great
principles of the Constitution-enter-
tanning a high-toned regard for their
whole duty rs citizens towards the
Federal Government, Of patriotic
submission to the laws they are
pledged to obey, and a proper firm
ness in resisting revolutionary meas
ures, as in the case of the Constitu-
tiolal amendment; and rs sure as the
principles of truth and right are
given to men by Omnipotence itself,
so surely will their ultimate triumph
come. The faction that would de
stroy such Constitution and such a
Government as onr fathers bequeath-
ed us, cannot, under the justice OF
Heaven, be permitted long to rule
the people in wickedness.

Jamaica Morality.

The London Sunday Gazette says of the ia
maica negroes that, on weekdays, they wear
ragged clothes, which are not incOnvenient in
hot climates and on Sundays they dress with
unusual splendor. Magistrates and owners Of
propertv concur in the statement that the ex-
traordinary prevalence of petty theft is in no
degree owing to the pressure Of poverty. The
culprits are in almost all cases young, strong
and Healthy and they pilfer because 1t IS less
trouble to take their neighbours property than
to work on their own account. One OF the
Governors informants oddly illustrates the
character of the negroes by expressing an
opinion that if the soil and climate were those
of Devonshire, it would be impossible to make
cider, because all the apples would be stolen.
law which was recently passed for the cor
poral punishment of men and boys convicted
of larceny, seems to have received universal
approval. The morality Of the people Is not
in other respects satisfactory. Itco-thrdS OF
the chalre1, are Legitimate; and there IS no
law compelling the father to support his OIL
spring. The Assembly-composed chiefly Of
blacks-obiects to a bastardy law, on the
ground that the woman would always perjure
herself. But the real reason is supposed to be
that the legislators hesitate to pass it, because
it would oftentimeS be enforced against them
selves
