How They Love the Soldier.

The following pictures, which we clip
from the news columns Of our exchanges,
need but little comment
ga soldier, sick and destitute, is now
lying at Globe Hotel. Yesterday they
were talking of sending him to the poor
house. If there is any loyalty and pat

anything more than words" &c.-Indi-
annapolis Herald, June 6.
The following is from the Cleveland
Herald, of June y, and occurred in the
loyal city of Cleveland
A SAD AFFAIR A poor soldiers wild
ow, living in the house adjacent 10 the
Bethel Church, on Water street, had her
household goods thrown into the street
late yesterday evening by a constable. 1t
is said her rent was paid up 70 last Fri
day. She has been in the house about
two years, and supported herself and two
little children by washing. All who are
acquainted with her, in that part of the
city, represent her to be very good and
industrious woman. The broad canopy of
heaven was the covering of her house last
night.
And here is the following from Wash
ington dispatch of the Associated Press,
few days ago:
"Gen. Howard has begun the distribu-
tion of the S25, 900 appropriation by Con-
gress for the relief of destitute and suffer
ing freedmen in this district A board
has been appointed, with DR.. Kelburn,
chief of the surgical bureau as president,
and the city divided into two districts,
with a superintendent for each.''

and her two little children thrown into

weary night in the open air What an
inducement for white man to die for his

babes were white. Had they been black,

green spectacles would have come to the

The TEN PER CENT, TAX,

Inlay & Bicknelrs Bank Note Repor-
ter dated June 15, says: There are SO
many incoherent statements made about
the tax that will be imposed on the issues
of banks organized under State laws, paid
om By banks on and after the 1st of July,
1866, that it is important for every bust
ness man 10 understand the law. The
Act of Congress, of March Sd, 1865,
reads thus:
SEC. 6. And be it further enacted,
That every National Banking Association,
shall pay tax of ten per cent. on the
amount of notes of any State Bank or State
Banking Association paid out by them,
after the first day of July, 1866.
1t will be noticed that the tax is i'm
posed only on banks paying out other
notes than those of National Banks, or
United States legal tenders, and that in no
case can the tax be imposed on uadiUiduals,
merchants, brokers, or agents, (other than
Banks,) paying them out, or using them
in their business.
The circulation of the notes of State banks
with by this law Holders of these notes
need be under no apprehension of
any loss by the ten per cent. tax imposed,
as Banks alone are subject to that penalty
for paying them out after the time speci-
fed in the law, for as some of our cotem-
poraries remark, there will really be no
tax at all on State bank circulation, be-
cause no one but banks are taxed for pay
ing them out, and they will not be under the
penalty. Private bankers will spring up
throughout the country, and will buy up
! from brokers the bills of the State banks,
and use them as circulation for the people,
while the State banks will close up, to
some extent, after providing for the re-
demption of their notes when returned to
! their redeeming agent. We think that
| the effect of this will be that less deposits
will be made with banks, and more with
/ private bankers and banking officers, who
are left free to receive and pay out State
| bank notes. ShTewd bankers see this,
and already some changes have been
made Or rather, banks closed (both Ma
! tional and State) and private banking of
! fees opened in their places and doubtless
many more changes will occur of the
same kind, as very good reasons will ex-
| ist for the changes, which are, that by
closing the banks they avoid heavy taxes
which the States are attempting to impose
on both National and State; as private
bankers, they are not liable to a tax on
the currency they pay out, but are left free
to receive and pay out State bank notes !;
and row that the banking business is less
profitable than for the past few years,
these considerations have weight.

What Constitutes a Barrel,

An important question was settled at
the last term of one of our Courts, of
which our oil men will do well to take
heed. A purchaser contracted for one
hundred barrels at 5000, but sent to the
well barrels which considerably overrun
forty-two gallons each. The producer
filled eighty-five barrels of these, making
1920 gallons, one hundred barrels of AZ
gallons each, but declined to fl IL any more.
He was sued for the fifteen barrels claim
ed. On the trial it was claimed that the
act of Assembly provided that 81 gal
Ions make barrel, and that no custom,
nothing but express agreement between
the parties, could reckon barrel at more
Consequently, the claimant, instead of re-
ceiving his fifteen barrels, as sued for,
was compelled to account for the excess
of 1920 gallons, over one hundred bar
rels, reckoning each barrel at 81 ] gallons
The sharp practice, therefore, of some oil
purchasers, who had been increasing the
capacity Of their barrels, will not stand a
legal test unless they specify the number
of gallons held by their barrels, they can
not recover in court of law, over the
81 gallons fixed by the act of Assembly.

c. In discussion in Congress on the
14th of June, Mr.. Harris, on referring to
the assassination of President Lincoln,
said:
Referring to the assassination of Lin
coin, he said: Mary Surrett was convict
ed of course She was tried by a court
martial. Her immediate execution was
ordered. She entreated for four days TO
enable her to overcome the shock, and the
better to prepare her soul TO meet her God.
''Not an hour" thundered forth the voice
from the War Department. "On with
the gallows, the coffin and grave, the an
gels of Heaven shall not rejoice over this
repentant sinner" Agents of mercy
sought the ear of a higher authority, and
probably a more merciful heart. But
Preston King was janitor that day, and
they were excluded. Where is Preston
King? Echo answers, where. She was
thus executed speedily, and notwithstand-
ing application had been made, in behalf
of her heart broken daughter, for her re-
mains, those remains are still in the keep

We thus offer the paper below cost, being
at the rate of 81 80, 81 so and 81 20 per
year, for the purpose of getting it into more
general circulation. There are 1900 Demo
Gratis in the county, who do not take a coun-
ty paper. This can all be avoided; if our
Democratic friends sacrifice little time in
trying to get their neighbors to subscribe
for the paper. A Club of zen (s5 O0) can
be raised in any township in the county if
some one will make the effort. We hope
our friends in the different bnroughs and
townships will bring this matter before
their neighbors.
No attention will be paid to orders, unless

DEATH OF GENERAL CASS.

Our telegraphic column, yesterday, says
the Pittsburgh Post of the 10th instant,
contained the announcement of the death
of the great Michigan statesman General
LEWIS CAss, in his eighty third year.
He was a New Englander by birth but
moved to Ohio at an early age. When
quite young he was elected to the Ohio
Legislature and remained almost con-
stantly in office until he left Mr. BUCHAN-
ANS Cabinet. He was Governor, Cabi-
net officer, Minister, to France and United
States Senator his most remarkable per-
formances were his pamphlet while in
France upon the quintuble treaty, his adj
vocacy of fifty four forty while Senator,
and his support of the compromise meas
ure of 1850. L
General Cass was, from his return from
France, up until 1852 a standing candi-
date for the Presidency. In 1914 the
enemies of VAN BUREN fixed upon the
General as their candidate but they fail
ed to nominate him, owing to the adroit
management of Van Buren's friends with
drawing his name and substituting that of
Governor Polk, of Tennessee In 1S4S
the General was nominated at Baltimore,
but the Barnburners under the lead of
Van Buren, got up their Buffalo platform
dodge, dividing the Democracy and secu-
ring the election of General TAYLOR In
1852 the contest for the Democratic NOM
ination at Baltimore was so fierce be-
tween the friends of CAss, BUCHANAN,
MARCY, and DOUGLAS, that they were,
after five days battling all Withdrawn and
the nomination given to General PIERCE.
After this the General withdrew from the
position of Presidential aspirant, and in
1856 he favored the nomination of Mr..
Buchanan.
