Heretofore all goods shipped to the

from one of the Orleans papers:
The tax on gross sales and receipts,
which have been regarded with such dis
favor by our whole mercantile community,
is to come before the courts on question
involving the constitutionality of the act
under which it is imposed. 4 Details of the

We find an article in the Louisville

BANCROFT for his tart illusions to

is called forth by the recent CORE
spondence, of Earl RUSSELL with
Mr.. ADAMS, and Mr.. BANCRoFT's let

Grafton. In its contemplate hatred
of everything that does not square
with its political views and feelings,
the Democrat is guilty of printing the
following silly paragraph: -
III, however, Mr.. Russell had known
just how little influence Mr.. Bancroft has

BANCROFT was the idol of the Demo

proud to speak of the great historian
BANCROFT, and the great poet BRY-

ton. The fact that these men were
with the organization, was used as an
argument in favor of its purity and

Col. jacques Aequitted--.An0ther
e Rebel and Democratic Defeat.

A dispatch was received in this city
yesterday, announcing the triumphant
acquittal of Col JACQUES, at Louis
vile, of the charge of completely in
an abortion and murder.
This will be glad tidings to the
friends of justice and religion every
where, and especially to the thousands
of friends of Col. JACQUES through
out Indiana and Illinois.
We never for a moment entertained
adoubt of Col. JACQUES entire in
nocence. We had known him for sew
eral years, and knew him as an up
right, honest man, and devoted,
earnest and successful minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, against
whom the breath of SANDER never
dared to whisper an evil word.
That the entire Democratic press of
the North, as well as the rebel press
at the South, should gloat over and
rejoice at the supposed fall of this
christian minister and patriot, was but
natural. They desired it's truth to be
established, that they might use it for
political capital, and all will remember
how they have rung the charges on it,
and what maleyolence they have man
ifested.
The last shape in which they heaped
up theirlies was In the statement that
went the rounds of the Democratic
papers, to the effect that he had failed
to appear for trial at the time fixed
and had forfeited his bonds, and this
they declared was proof positive and
incontroEertible of his guilt.
This report, like the wicked charge
preferred against him, was false; and
we have no doubt but the papers Civ
ing currency to the base lie knew it
was false; but these advocates of
treason could not forgive JACQUES
because he had manifested his love
for his country by taking up arms
against treason, and hence pursued

EVANSVILLE has got the q street rail
road" fever. After having failed in all
their metropolitan enterprises opera
houses, water-works and hotels, they fall
back on street railroads. Give 'em fits on
the railroad, Silverthorn; that's what you
need, and it will encourage the hotel and
water-works enterprises. But before you
adopt any plans for them, you had better
send up delegation to see Madison hotels
and ater-works.-Mddison Courier.
The Courier is s6ghtually mistaken.
The people of Evansville have not
failed in all their metropolitan enter
prises. The Courier gets that idea
from its ilI-natured namesake of this
city, though we supposed the Madison
Courier knew its character too well to
be misled by it. The opera-house is
fixed fact. The construction of water
works is only question of time The
street railroads will be built, and the
hotel will follow as matter of course.
It is the misfortune of almost every
city to have Inhabitants who are mere
fossils, who, having acquired unim-
proved property when cheap, have
managed to hold on to it until it has
become valuable, and have not the
public spirit to either improve it them
selves, or sell at reasonable price to
those who would improve it. We
have but few of this class, it is true,
yet they have been effectual clogs to
the progressive spirit of many others.
Our citizens, by careful survey of
the premises, can easily discern who
they are, and to what party they be-
long. tuH. . ,a9n

THAD. STEPHENS dom like some of
SUMMERS ways He says So, with his
usual bluntness and indifference to
feelings In a little speech in the
House, the other day, he referred to
the fact that the House passed con
stitutional amendment for equalizing
representation, az an early period of
the present session, and remarked that
it had been slaughtered in the Senate
by peurile and pedantic criticism"
that 8 its death was produced by
self-righteous Republicans and I'M
righteous Copperheads, who had post
poned, perhaps for ages, the salvation
of the colored race" SUMNER must
have been meant as being guilty of
"peurile and pedantic criticism" He
is about the only " self-righteous !"
Republican that we know of, to whom
the term could be correctly applied.
IF Mr.. STEVENS could discover his
own follies as readily as he does Mr..
SUMMERS, we might hope to see the
differences between the President and
Congress assume more harmonious
appearance. But STEvENs's arrogance
and positiveness and unwillingness to
concede either brains or patriotism to
those who diferfrom him on questions
growing out of the great reconstruc-
ton problem, has, in several instances,
done great damage to the Union party,
and actually endangered the peace of
the country. With the unreasoning
impatience of second childhood, he
forces issues upon us that might be
avoided with advantage to the party
and safety to the country.

IT is thought by many that some
idea of the length of the present SEES
sion of Congress may be obtained
from the fact that Speaker CoLFAx,
who was to deliver the Fourth of July
orationat Valparaiso, Indiana, has re-
called his acceptance which was condi-
toned on an adjournment sufficiently
early to enable him to prepare his adj
dress. Congress and the President
seem to be so enamored with each other
that they are unwilling to separate for
the short space of three or four
months.

Disfranchisemeut.

We commend the following to the
attention of those who have a great
admiration of, and strong faith in,
the superior intelligence and mag
nanimity.of Southern statesmen, and
who are now pricked to the heart by
the proposition to disfranchise rebels
and traitors for a few years.
Not Democratic paper at the
North ever denounced the monstrous
proposition of the Convention of Vir-
ginia, which banished men from the
State, and declared them alien en-
eniies, simply because they should
choose to adhere to the old Govern
ment; and if any citizen of Virginia
should undertake hereafter to repre-
sent that State in the Congress. of the
United States, he should not only be
banished and declared an alien en-
envy, but should be considered guilty
of treason and his property liable to
confscation.
JOHN MINOR Boris gently reminds
the reconstructed that if they should
remain disfranchised for a season
they would only drink the chalice pre-
pared by them for the lips of others.
They howl vigorously for large
of sympathy now. How did
they act when they had the power?
Mr. Boris answers:
In the month of July, 1861, the Conven-
ton of Virginia passed an ordinance de-
claring "That any citizen of Virginia
holding office under the Government of
the United States after the Slst of July.
1861 should be forever banished from the
State, and be declared an alien enemy.
and that any citizen of Virginia hereafter
undertaking to represent the State of
Virginia in the Congress of the United
States, should, in addition to the above
penalties, be considered guilty of treason,
and his property be liable to confiscation."
Yet those who voted for, and those who
approved this measure of vindictive harsh
ness toward those who refused to surren-
der their birthright as citizens of the freest
and best government ON earth, or to make
voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of their great
inheritance of freedom, are now the most
clamorous to represent the people in this
same Congress of the United States, and
set up an universal howl of Indignation.
and implore the wrath of God and man on
the heads of those who propose to give
them small dose of their own medicine

him with the hatred and malevolence
of demons.
But he has been tried and trium-
phantly acquitted, and that, too, by a
Kentucky jury, and in the city of
Louisville; and, tostrengthen the case,
the dispatch says the jury did not
even leave their box.
