A SLIP oE STEvENs.-In the course of
debate to night, in the House, on the
tobacco section of the Tax bill, Thad.
Stevens made some incidental allusion
to the condition Of the cigar interest
since he end ct the war. Randall, of
Pennsl lvania, promptly interrupted him,
and congratulated the House and the
country that tho distinguished gentle
tleman from the Lancaster district was
at last willing 30 allow that the war
was really over. This sally occasiened
some laughter, amidst which the Penn
sylvania Msphis tophiles arose with a
grim smile, that betrayed his conscious
ness of the awkwar character of his
inadvertent adm ssion and declared with
vehemence that he did not consider the
war at an end-au the contrary, in bis
opinion, it had just begun he then took
his seat, mutterIng that the copperhead
army was still in battle array. The
discontinue of he hoary radical chief

Tax ON Cigars.

At the evening session of the House
on Tuesday, very important change
was made in the Internal Revenue Bill
taxing cigars. The feature reported by
the committee Gu Ways and Means, was
stricken from the bill, and new section
inserted, reading as follows:
Goa Cigarette, or small cigars, made
of tobacco inclosed in wrapper OF
binder, not over three and half inches
in length, and on cigars made with
twisted heads, she value Of which, tax
included, is MOI over six dollars per
thousand, tar Of tlro dollars per thou
sand"
"On all Other cigars four dollars per
thousand, and forty per cent ad raloren,
provided the fist ten dollars shall not
be assessed"
These amendments having been agreed
to, Mr. Morrill,, no has the bill in charge,
gave notice thai at the proper time he
should move thai this same tax shall be
imposed on all foreign cigars, in addition
tothe duties now levied by the tariff laws

From tie Marietta Times,

VIM LoREY, editor of the Marietta
De,aoIrdt made a speech to the people of
Lueb ok, West Virg inia, on Saturday
last, aud he also spoke in Park ersburg
on the evening If the same day These
species were principally against the
regisl ur law, te.t oath, and the constitu'
tional amendp.nt of West Virginia.
Mr.. J. ,rey had been invited to address
the Democracy # Wood county. Surely
he hal as mu"a right to talk to the
people Of that county as Mr. Senator
Stevenson had 70 give rs lectures on
Loyalty. But seems that some of the
people of that State do not believe this,
and one of tlrm-intensely loyal. no
doubt interrupted Mr.. Lorey in one of
his speeches, AID suggested that, as he
was not citizen Of West Virginia, he
had no right to talk to the people of
that State. MI Lorey effectually shut
the fellows m ,uth by informing him
that, in 1862, he attempted to cross Kan
awha ridge, Oh business of his own,
but not permitted to do 80 until he
had t., ken an OF tn to support the con-
stitut IN of the United States, and the
and lups of Vest Virginia. He
therefore claimed that he had some
right TO address the people of that State.
Mr.. Lorey further stated that the officer
who administered the oath was unable
to read or write. and he was obliged to
draw up the papers himself A signifi
cant fact-commeuts unnecessary.

In New Orleans, recently, Judge Abel
decided that the Civil Rights Law was
no law at all The Judge in his opinicn
says that the Constitution provides that
to become law in spite of tn, Presi.
dents veto, an &C must receive, the votes
of two-thirds Of each House = the Senate
being one Houso. Likewise, he holds
that the Senate must b., composed of two
Senator's from each State but there is
no such body exlstir. &, and consequently
the act did not recsive the required two
thirds. Judge Af,el thinks that the two.
thirds referred To must embrace two
thirds of all the members, and not mere
ly two-thirds OF the members present

which are reserved to the States exclu.

The Election In Ohio County.

The result of the election in Ohio
county last Thursday demonstrates that
our people are still determined to be
free, and that they view with increasing
detestation the lawless and oppressive
course of the radical party. This is the
first time since the beginning of the war
that the opponents of radicalism have
cast majority of the votes in Ohio
county, but the returns of Thursdays
election are sufficient to show that it
will not be the last At the election
held last October, the Republican candi-
dates for the Legislature received an
average majority of one hundred and
thirty-oue votes this spring, the major
ity against that party is three hundred
and forty-four. We hare therefore gained,
daring seren months, four hundred and
serenty.trs votes Surely there is enough
in this to induce the Democratic voters
Of Ohio county to thank God and take
courage" 1t will also have the effect
of gladdening the hearts and strength
ening the hands of the lovers of civil
liberty all over the State. The majority
might have been larger, and we are sure
that it will be so in October next, but
the dismay depicted in the ooutepancss
of the radicals shows plainly that it
will do"
The radicals never worked harder for
victory than they did last Thursday
They put forth their utmost exertions
and labored with a zeal worthy of bet
ter oause. For them this is Waterloo
defeat" from which they can have little
OF no hope of recovery Their power
and prestige are broken and the people of
Ohio county will never again permit
them to obtain control, so long as the
memory of their misrule cndures
The table of official returns may be
found in another column.

Vigorous growth and great productive

possible ON the vines, and aim to
have as strong shoots at the base

can be done by pinching out the
points of the strong shoots after they
have made a growth of FIVE or six leaves.
This will make the weak ones grow
stronger. Young vines grow much fast

Foreign Emigration

From present indications. this coun.
try will receive an accession of popula.
ton from foreign countries this year,
such as has been rarely witnessed.
Ships arrive daily at New York from
abroad laden with refugees from the
Old World. Ireland and Germany vie
with each other in sending their re.
-spectiye centlngents. 1t is estimated
that the arrivals for 1866 will reach
, 100000, against 10000 for the year
1865. The preponderance is in favor of
the Teutons compared with the CsltS
Tho chief reason assigned for tho mres.
emf movement is no doubt the No.
alleled prosperity of the Uaited States
and O desire to escape the threateneS
turmoil in Europe The emigrants ara
thrifty, in good health, and their pecu
niary condition is rather above than
: below the average of former years. This
is especially true of the Germans
In this connection, it is noteworthy
fact, that Notwithstanding the thou
sands of men in the United States that
have recently been discharged from mil
itary service, these large accessions are
readily absorbed in the mass. There is
no lack of employment, and the various
channels of business receive all and cry
for more. 1yJ9T I

i The radical peace folk had Conven-
ton ct Providence, E. L, on Wednesaay.
II was a more Wild and incoherent AFFAIR
eyen than Wendell Phillips AntiSiavery
Conyention in New York. Henry u.
Wright, formerly an Orthodox Congre-
gational minister at Newbury, IN TINS
State, was the leading spirit OF tne
Convention, and the burden of his talk
was that there can be no reform IN eau
cation, marriage, the social position OF
woman, or anything else, 80 long as tne
right to take human life is admltteu;;
He did not believe any peace man 1coulo

Who tried to get christianity recognized
90 the source of the true peace doctrine,
but this was secuted by the Convention,
most of the members being stark intidels.
Perhaps the most sensible speech was
made by q woman, who argued that the
only efectual way to promote peace is
to feed men on an exclusively vegetable
diet. There is one fact that rather mill
tates against this theory, and that is the
belligerency of the Irish when kept on
potatoes and buttermilk exclusively.
But then, buttermilk is somewhat ami
NAL, and doubtless the theory requires
for it's perfect success not only that menn
should feed on vegetables, but be kept
on short commons at that. The LADY

The ResuIt in the State.

The result of the election in the State
is still doubtful and at least week must
intervene before the figures can be gwen
+, with any degree of accuracy. 1t is, OF
course, probable that q majority OF the
votes cast have been given for ratitica
ton of the amendment; but it is alto.
gether improbable that the majority will
even approximate to the ten thousand
claimed by the radicals.
Persons outside of the State and not
thoroughly familiar with our local poll
tics should be cautioned against accept.
ing the result of this election as cor
rect indication of the political sentiment
of our, people. The amendment was
only voted upon by a portion of those
citizens who can comply with the con-
ditions of the registry act, and none at
all Of the large class whom the amend
ment is intended to disfranchise were
permitted to vete for or against its rati-
fcation. 1t will be readily adj
mitted by even the radicals them
selves that the amendment has not re-
ceived the sanction of majority of the
constitutional voters of the State; and
we are confident of our ability to prove
. next October that it has not received
the approval of even majority of those
who can take the test oath and register
their names A large portion of the
conservative vote is still unregistered,
aud in many of the countless system Of
y Intimidation aud force has been employ
ed to keep conservative voters from the
polls, which will not be 80 successful
next fall. We trust that the friends of
civil liberty in other States will not
think so meanly of the intelligence and
patriotism of the citizens of West Vir-
ginia as to believe that majority of
our people favored SO infamous scheme
of oppression as was embodied in the
constitutional amendment. Our people
will yet achieve freedom,in spite of all the
acknowledgements, the test oaths, regis
try acts, and other unjust legislation the
radicals dare to infiict.
