The Franchise Law.

The Legislature of West Vir-
ginia, like that of Tennessee, pass
ted a law which DISTINGUISHES a
large portion of the white men of
that State. The Nashville Dis
patch says Mr.. James D. Arm
strong. Romney, has tested the
constitutionality Of this law in the
Circuit Court of Hamshire county.
At May term of that court rule
was made against the Board of
Registration to show cause why
they should not be compelled to
register Mr.. Armstrong as a voter.
The reason assigned by the board
was that Mr.. Armstrong ia South
ern sympathizer) had refused to
take the oath required by the reg
istration act. At the term of the
same court held two or three
weeks ago, as we learn from let
ter in the Wheeling Register,
Judge Harrison awarded per-
emptory mandamus requiring the
board to register Mr.. Armstrong.
The Judge declared, in effect, that
the Legislature had required
qualification not required by the
constitution, which, of course, it
had no power to do, and conse-
quently SO much of the registra-
ton act as requires the voter
to take this oath is unconstitu-
tional.
We have no doubt such would
be the fate of the law passed by
our Legislature, if it were tested.
The usurpations of the Radical
faction holding power in this State
can only be checked by an appeal
to the courts, and some public
spirited citizen who is able to bear
the expense of such an appeal,
should do that much for the
common good.

Income Tax Resisted.

A suit is pending in Illinois,
where o citizen resists the collec-
ton of the Income Tax. The fol-
lowing are the points raised:
l. The federal constitution pro-
vides, (article l, section 2, para
graph 81 that representatives and
direct taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States, accord
ing to their respective numbers.
2. An income tax is direct tax.
8. Ii must, therefore, be appor-
toned among the several States
according to their numbers.
4. The income tax, as now i'm
posed by acts of Congress, is not
apportioned among the States &C
cording to their numbers, but it is
laid by the rule of uniformity.
s. The acts of Congress impos-
ing such income tax are therefore
unconstitutional and void. The
tax cannot be collected.

A Disguised Thief.

An incident occurred in one of
the Philadelphia courts on Tues
day, illustrating the peculiar no.
/ tons of dignity prevalent among
the professionals" In the dock
were two individuals charged with
burglary. They were new to the
business, and none of the detect
ives could recognize them as before
in their clutches. They pleaded
"not guilty" when arraigned, and
no more was thought of the case
among the spectators in the court
room. About an hour after the
plea had been entered, "profess-
ional," who is fortunate enough to
be at liberty at the present time,
stepped up to we'll known men,
Der Of the bar, and handing him
S25, requested him to give his SER
vices to the two unfortunates about
to be tried. He accompanied the
fee with the remark that he had
no acquaintance with the fellows,
but for the honor of the 'profess-
ion" he wanted them defended
The lawyer took the money, and
stepping into Court, examined the
bills of Indictment, and discovered
that they were charged with bur-
glary in entering a dwelling and
stealing five pounds of butter and
several quarts of milk. The law
yer reported the state of affairs to
his principal. Imagine his aston
ishment at the answer of the
would be friend of the strange
burglars: "Let the fellows go up.
If they stoop to stealing butter and
milk they deserve all the Judge
can give them. Keep the $25,
and go to the Judge and tell him
to give them another year!'' The
Disguised professional turned on
his heels and marched away, ours

had descended so low as to steal
provisions rather more substantial

Cotton Crop in Georgia.

The Charleston Courier says a
prominent cotton factor of that
city has placed in its hands the
following extract from a private
letter from one of the shrewdest
and hitherto most successful of the
cotton planters of Southwestern
Georgia:
81 have planted on my three
plantations about eleven hundred
acres of cotton-nearly my ante
be1lum crop. l suppose that on
the three places there will be made
about 225 bales, being just one
half of my old crop. l do not be-
lieve there will be over l 100000
bales made in the South this year,
for my crop is far above the ave-
rage, and it is poor enough. l ex-
pect to limit my planting next
year to less than half the number
of acres that l am now cultiva-
ting"

Chu'iqui haages.-We have had the pleasure
of examining quantity of gold received by Dr.
j. G. Aver & Co., from Honduras, in payment
for their medicines, which are extensively sold
throughout Central America. Among the
massive crosses, bracelets, and chains, are the
rude images which have been taken from the
graves of the Chiriqui chiefs-birds, turtles,
serpcnts, bugs and reptiles done in solid gold.-
They carry us back beyond historic times, to
periods and places where barbarism reigned su-
preme. They seem to come here now in mute
appeal from the winding sheets of their ances-
tors, to ask for the simple Indians in the noun
tains, medical protection from cultivated skill,
against diseases which gather them up in too
early graves. Ignorant and unlettered as they
are, they have learned of the white man enough
to know where to apply for relief, and what
will bringit. Our well known towrsmen, above
named inform us that they require their re-
mittances from foreign countries now to bemade
in silver and gold.-LoloeU Sentinel, Mass.

A Misguided Father.

A gentleman residing near Bel
fast, had a son who had fallen a
victim to the customs of the land,
and become a miserable drunkard.
Every effort was Intellectually en-
ployed, for length of time, to re-
claim him. AT last he determined
to make an effort to reform; he
signed the pledge against ardent
spirits, but knowing the enemy
that lurked in wine and ale, he
wisely resolved to abstain entirely
from all Intoxicating liquors. He
rapidly regained his responsibility.
One day he accompanied his
father to a large dinner party
His father, alas! pressed him to
take a glass Of wine, saying it
would be no breach of his pledge.
But wiser than his father insisted,
''Take one glass, and don't make
yourself an oddity."
To please his father, and get rid
of his importantly, he took glass
of wine. 1t was like pouring oil
on a fire. His appetite for strong
drink, which many thought had
been destroyed, Immediately re-
vived and ragged furiously. Hav-
ing got one glass he was unable to
resist the temptation to take q sec
ond, and third, till at last he be-
came intoxicated. In this state
he left the party and mounted his
horse to ride home, but, sad to re-
late, he never reached it alive
On his way he fell from his horse,
broke his neck, and his body was
carried home.

How TO AVOID THE THREE CENT
TAx.-If our planters would only
take advantage of the protection
which the Radical Congress has
unwittingly offered them, they
would ask that the present inter
nal revenue tax on cotton be con-
tinued in its present terms for ten
or fifteen years, with collection
districts, just as they are now, or
at least not enlarged. This tax
is not to be charged unless the cot
ton leaves the collection district.
Now, if they will manufacture the
cotton within the collection dis
trict, the manufactured goods will
pay no more tax for manufactu-
ring than Beast Buffers Lowell
neighbors pay, while the three
cents on the raw material may be
wholly saved to the home produ-
GERS and manufacturers.

TO be Extirpated.

The Philadelphia Press prints
a speech from John w. Forney, at
Lackawanna, Pa, on the 18th ult.,
from which the following is an ex-
tract:
eff the Southern people do not
ratify this NEGRO equalization a.
mendment, or if they defeat it,
what then? Think l see by the
glitter of your eyes, that if they
should ever be guilty of this new
infatuation, the war that would
ensue would establish this fact,
that which has passed was but as
child's play, or as picnic to that
which will come. The army that
will go to the Southern country
will go there to stay; it will not
be an army of invasion, but an
army of migration; it will not 60
there to revenge, but to eXtlrpatc.
Brownlow's remedy will indeed be
tried. There will be three columns;
the one to kill, the second to burn,
the third to divide the plantations
among the men who go down the
second time to avenge the insulted
flag Of our country. l see this
sublime resolve in the glitter of
your eyes, and l feel it in the
throbbing of my heart, | feel it
everywhere, l hear it in the trum-
pet voice of destiny. That we
shall not prevail against these
men is to expect that God is dead"
Forney is a candidate for Uni
ted States Senator from Pennsyl-
vania, and is stumping the State
in advocacy of his "claims" to that
distinguished position. He reflects
the spirit that animates the mad
Radicals.

The Cotton Crop.
A New York letter says :

"Wright's circular for the Scotia,
speaking of the new crop of cot
ton, says the quality of such lots
as have reached this city disap-
points the trade; the color is bad,
body poor and light, staple cut
and irregular.
"The reports as to the prospect
of the crop are more discouraging,
and fears are entertained that the
total may prove even less than
the lower estimates INDUCED in at
the South.
"Neill Bros. say: Our advices
this week are rather untavorable
on the whole, although from the
tone of some of the extracts which
we give, it would appear that the
evils and injury complained of in
others is much exaggerated. As
regards the worm, the damage
thereby in some few places is Sc
rious, but not, SO far, over a wide
area"
Those who have been clamoring
for large crop, are beginning to
find that their predictions will
prove untrue. The yield will un-
doubtedly fall greatly below the es-
Inmates of those who were endea-
voring to force the opening a. low
prices. The news from the cotton
fields of the South is unfavorable,
80 much so as to leave no hope
that the crop will go beyond l.
100000, if it shall reach as much
as 100000 bales. With this da-
Ia, cotton planters may easily form
some estimate of probable prices
which cotton will command before
midsummer of next year, and can
govern themselves accordingly.

Registered.

Sumner county, which before
the war polled three thousand
votes, has only registered los.
In Smith county there have been
1893 voters registered-l75 or 200
of whom are Radicals.
Montgomery numbers 237.
Maury numbers $50.
In Giles, it is stated, only about
eighty certificates have been issued
and but few more, if any, will be
issued, from the fact that there is
no ground upon which citizens
can claim them except that of loyal
ty during the war-there having
been no election in Giles county
either in 1864 or spring of 1866.

The grasshoppers are plaguing
the Kansas farmers greatly. In
Brown county, recently, they COW
cred a track twelve miles in width,
and consumed pretty much every
thing green. Trees were stripped
of their leaves, grass eaten up and
corn-felds literally stripped to the
stalk. They filled the air SO as to
obscure the sun. The Marysville
Enterprise says: '"They alighted
upon fields, gardens, fruit trees,
and everything green or eatable,
and, like a march of two hundred
and fifty army corps, devoured ey-
crything they touched. This
whole country has been taken by
them, and the lear guard is still
with us, consuming what vegeta-
bles and green leaves the army has
left. Farmers are seriously alarm
led lest the corn will be totally de-
voured. They seem to be passing
in southwest direction"
