The INCOME TAx.-The following
are the points reised against the Con-
stitutionality of that tax, in suit now
pending in Illinois, where citizen re
sists its collection.
The points are very plausible and
as far as we are commemorative
wish they could be sustained
l. The Federal Constitution pro-
vides (article l, section 2, paragraph
81 that representatives and direct
taxes shall be apportioned among the
several States according to their res
pective numbers.
2. An income tax is a direct tax.
8. 1t must, therefore, be apportion.
ed among the several States according
to their numbers.
a. The income tax as now imposed
by acts of Congress, is not apportioned
among the States according to their
numbers, but it is laid by the rule Of
uniformity.
5. The acts Of Congress, imposing
such income tax are therefore uncon.
shtutiopal and void. The tax cannot
be collected.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-The Union
League members marched from their
rooms to Independence Square, where the
delegates TO the Con vention united with
them, and all proceeded to National Hall.
Gen. Butler, Fred. Douglass, and Brown
low, were welcomed with cheers ut the
National Guard Hall. Before the meeting
of the Convention Charles Gibbon re-
ceived the Southern delegation, and Ham
i'ton, of Texas, responded, at the conciu :
sion of which some one in the crowd called
for three groans for the Dead Dog Of the
White House which was followed by pretty
general bovine ordinations.
On the opening OF the Convention,
which was very largely attended, four
tifths of the members were from the North.
Thomas j. Durant, of New Orleans, was
chosen Temporary chairman, and COM
mttees were appointed, after which the
Convention adjourned until to- morrow.
The City Council, by formal resolution,
welcomed the delegates to this city, and
extended to them the hospitality thereof.
Eleven cases of cholera and six deaths
are reported to-day.

BACKHANDED CONFERENCE.-The
Maysville Ky Bulletin pays the
annexed backhanded compliment to
one Rev. Joseph t. Inman, a hopeful
member OF that numerous family of
artful dodgers who, in striving to
live by their wits, find it convenient
whenever they can to prey upon
mankind. This Inman "tried it on"
with us by sending us his card for
publication in our paper. We "did
not take" however, but chucked his
card into our refuse basket, as we
are in the habit Of doing almost
daily, with similar trash with which
we are "favored" sometimes "by the
cord" through the mails
Il Humbag.-Joseph L. Inman,
Station d., Bible House, New York,
has card in many of our exchanges
in which he agrees to send, free of
charge to any address, receipt that
will cure all diseases of the flesh.
This sweet, scented shrub of cler-
gyman says that he is prompted
alone by desire to benefit the un-
fortunate and afflicted, but whose
real object is to swindle all who have
anything to do with him. The press
should not impose upon their sub
scribers by publishing his card. We
know of several editors who have
been swindled out of their pay by
this scoundrel.

sar Mr.. A. j. Began brought to
our Office yesterday specimen Of
the genuine army worm and also a
specimen Of the grass worm. which
he obtained from a cotton field near
town. The cotton leaves whereupon
these worms were found and on
which they may still be seen at work
in our office, are pretty well riddled--
especially the one on which the army
worm has taken up his quarters,
These worms are about the same
size-slender and somewhat over
one inch in length. The army
worm has dark striped back the
grass worm is of yellowish color,
with light stripes and double row
of very small dark tints along the
whole length Of its back.
We hope that both the season and
the cotton crops are now too far ad-
vanced to enable these depredators
10 do more than partial injury.

DEAD OxEN.-We are reliably
informed that no less than three dead
oxen--all OF them within the space
Of about mile--are lying along the
road in the vicinity Of Mr.. Joseph
Demands plantation. This shows
the most shameful negligence on the
part Of some one. Il the poor pant
ing, over-heated and worked
beasts OF burden are doomed to perish
while in service along the highways,
their owners or drivers should be
compelled to remove the carcasses
out of sight and not leave them where
they must prove offensive to the sight
and smell OF PassUrs. and The
neighborhood, and cause fright to
unruly horses.
A gentleman and lady riding along
in a buggy near the spot where said
carcasses are, on Tuesday last, came
very near meeting with serious in
jury from their buggy-horse taking
fright at the dead objects, and run
ming away.
We would call the attention of
our Police Jury (now in SESSION.
to the above facts, and entreat them
to apply such remedy as may be at
their command to abate the nuisance
complained Of and to prevent reeur.
renee of the same in future.

OBITU ARY.


Departed this life at the family resi-
dence, in this city, on Sunday the I'd day
OF September, 1855, at 5 o'clock, P. NJ Mrs.
NANCY CoUsINARD, wife Of Edward Cousi
nard, Esq, aged forty-two years and five
months.
Thus has the pestilonce which Is stalk
ing through the land, claimed as one Of
his first victims in this community, this
truly good and estimable lady. The large
and imposing funeral cortege which fol-
lowed her remains to the grave, is an
evidence of the estimation in which she
was held by the community where she has
so long lived. But, although thus sud-
denly snatched from her family and
friends by the Unsuitable tyrant, who re-
spects neither age, sex nor condition, her
bereaved husband and children may con-
sole themselves with the reflection, that
one of such exem plary conduct, and 10
deeply imbued with the sublime principles
of religion and Christianity, 90 pure in
morals, and so faithful in the discharge of
the duties of wife, mother and friend,
has exchanged the troubles and trials
of this feeting existence for the joys of
brighter sphere, where the wicked
cease from troubling, and the weary are
at rest" FL.

The Sickness.

sumed an epidemic form in our city
and we see no good reason why il
should, any more than in other 10
calities of the United States, where
with only one or two exceptions, il
has prevailed, and that only for q
short time, in sporadic form. We
believe it is destined soon to run its
course here, and in this beief we are
sustained by others whose opinions
we value.
Among the most successful RENE
dies Employed remedy which in
deed seems to act as a specifc-in
cholera, is that pursued by DR.. l.. l..
Laycock, one of our ablest and most
experienced physicians. This rem.
edy consists in the simple application
ofdry calomel to the tongue. Placed
upon the tongue, in doses varying
from 80 to 100 grains or even more,
according to the condition of the pa
tient, the calomel Is much more
quickly absorbed into the system
than when administered according to
the old methods, which frequently
produce nausea and vomiting, leav-
ing little or no trace of the medicine
behind, or when left, requiring too
long a time for action.
This heroic treatment of cholera,
by means of dry calomel. is one
which DIR. Laycock informs US he
has pursued for the last fourteen
years in all choleraic cases land
these occur every year, more or less),
which he has been called to attend,
and in, we think he told us egery in
stance, his mode of treatment has
been crowned with most signal sue
cess.
We hear Of one case wherein the
Doctor, few days since gave to
patient 600 grains of dry calomel
within ten hours. This will appear
incredible to some, and it may APP
pear equally incredible, that the pa
tient, vino was very f far geene when
the Doctor took him in charge, re-
covered. But, these are facts, new
ertheless. The patient swallowed
the quantity Of calomel mentioned,
and it cured him.
What is further remarkable in
this method OF treating cholera, DR..
Laycock states that no injurious ef-
feet upon the system ever results
from the mercury given-no more
than is experienced by ake-bitten
person. who, after drinking quart
of strong liquor to cure the bite, feels
none of that intoxicating effect, (which
he would under ordinary circum-
stances, after drinking a much less
quantity of the same liquor.
"Samil5o samilibus curantur" may
be the principle upon which such
curative agencies act in their rela.
tions to disease, but certainly the
Hahnemann doctrine Of homeopathic
doses is not to be considered in the |
reckoning where cholera or snake.
bite is the matter and there is no
time to lose.

Going Home.

No Aeuniing banners DER them wave,
No arms flash back The suns bright ray,
No shouting crowdssaround Them throng,
No music cheers them on their way;
They're going home. By adverse fate
Compelled their trusty swords to sheath;
True soldiers they, even tho disarmed-
Heroes, tho robbed Of 77ictory's wreath
Brave Southerners with sorrowing hearts,
Ne gaze upon them through our tears,
And sadly feel how vain were all
Their heroic deeds through weary years;
Yet mid their enemies they move
With firm, bold step and dauntless micn;
Oh, liberty, in every age,
Such have thy chosen companions been.
Going home Alas, TO thcmthe words
Bring visions fraught with gloom and woe
Since last they saw those cherished homes
The legions of the invading foe
Hath swept, like the simeon, along
Spreading destruction far and wide.
..They found q garden, but they left
Ahowling wilderness behind"
All! in those desolafcd homes
To which the s.fate of war has come,"
Sad is the welcome-poor the feast
That waits the soldiers coming home;
Yet loving ones will round him throng,
With smiles more tender, if less gay,
And Joy will brighten pallid checks
AT sight of the dear boys in gray.
Aye, give them welcome home, fair South,
For you they've made n deathless namc
Bright through oil after-time will glow
The glorious record of their fame.
They made, nation. What, though soon
Its radiant sun has seemed to set;
The past has shown what they can do,
Thefnture holds bright promise yet.
A GEM.-There is both truth and poetry in the
GLOWING beautiful sgem, which no heast can fail
o appreciate:
There's not heath however rudc
But hath some little flower,
To brighten up its solitude,
And scent the evening hour.

BY grief and sorrow down,
Buthath some memory OF the past
TO love and cali its own.

FHE, PHILOSOPHY OF SMoKING.-At the
Cooper Institute last evening, the Rev.
S. w. Baily. delivered facetious lecture
on the Philosophy of Smoking" design
ed to prove that the practice was con-
dactive to the growth of democratic ideas
and family happiness. There was a good
attendance, and the lecture was enter
tanning and well received. In the course
of The interesting address it was remarked
that the advent of the use of tobacco gave
birth TO democratic ideas, and that in
olden times tobacco had been regard
ed as a great gift of the great
though unknown spirit, and that in.
later years we heard ofsmoking the pipe
Of peace. The regard entertained by the
Indians for tobacco was then dwelt upon,
and their customs was humorously re-
ferred to. The lecturer then called to
bis aid, in behalf of the use Of the favorite
weed, the great poets of by-gone times,
-lHho, through their works, still live among
Us. Tobacco was declared as divine
and rare; sovereign remedy to all de-
sirous OF equietude and peace. The we'll
known ode, by Charles Lamb, to tobacco,
was then quoted in behalf of the almost
universal use of tobacco. Tobacco, said
the lecturer, is powerful political agent,
it loyal to the State, and is destructive
of dcspotism; as we'll as protective Of
Democratic freedem The use Of tobacco
was then characterized as achoice bless
ing, and ripencd carly youth into fall
grown manhood Its elating and aspiring
qualities were thon dilated upon. AS a
perfect stiInulant it was almost unequaled,
and it engendercd high tone in social
life. The learned lecturer thcn called to
his aid the poetical odes of Cowper and
others, on tobacco Various illustrations
were quoted, and the whole tenor of the
speakers ideas was in favor of the free
use of the fragrant weed.
The question as to how much the world
is indebted to smoking was referred to.
1T begot real kindliness between tho va
rious classes of society. 1t was demo-
craticsleveler, and was conductive OF the
utmost equality.
Mr.. Baily then concluded by highly
humorous sketch of the various uses to
which tobacco is applied, arguing in te-
licitous manner that the use of tobacco
was beneficial, and not, as supposed by
some injurious. The lecturer brought his
address to a conclusion amid considerable
applause.-New York Ne,es.
INDIVIDUAL REspcNs1BIIIry.-The mo-
ment man parts with moral indepen-
dence; the moment he judges of duty
not from the inward voice, but from the
interests and will of party the mo-
ment he commits himself to leader or
body, and winks at evil because divis-
ION would hurt the cause; the moment
he shakes of his particular responsibility,
because he is but one of o thousand OF
million by whom the evil is done-that
moment he parts with his moral power.
He;s shorn of the single-hearted faith in
the right and the true. He hopes from
