A Liverpool paper not friendly to the per
missive Bill' or qualified prohibition of the
liquor traffic, airs itself very freely in respect
to the person and character OF Gen. Dow, but
on the whole does him no serious injustice
We quote few extracts as specimen:
The man of one idea is never a man to be de-
spised in any kind Of warfare. By bropding on
his one idea, he loses sight and thought of ali
others. His faith becomes adamantine. Nc
external influence can impress it, or move it, II
he be man of energy, by 80 much he is the
more effective. He moves forward towards his
idea-sees it atar off, fixes his eye upon it,
never looks aside, and goes straight oft. = =
1t is impossible to regard such man with
out some degree of interest One may think
him odd, eccentric, mistaken, blind, nay, mad
but one cannot hold him In contempt. His en-
ergy, his faithful determination, command re-
spect; and, as he is generally master of his one
idea, there is something about him that gives
him distinction above the crowd, where so
few men know much about any idea. Neal
Dow's noble, silvered head, and his spare, SOL
dierly figure, bespeak him respectful hearing
when he stands up to address an audience
His kindly face, and the benevolent, humor-
GUS smile that fingers constantly about his
mouth, 60 far to disarm an adversary. The

SUFFRAGE FOR WoMEN.-At the Equal
Rights convention held in Albany last week
many letters from prominent men were receiv-
ed and read, fully indorsing the woman's suf.
frage doctrine. Among them were Judge Sam.
uel e. Sewell and Rev. James Freeman C,arka
of Boston and George William Curtis Of New
York. The latter hit pretty accurately the
real state of the question as it lies in the minds
of most thinking men, thus
Women have quite as much interest in good
government as men, and have no more doubt
of their ameliorating influence upon politics
than have of the influence they exert every
where else. But the question is new to prac-
tical consideration, and there is a very general
and not unnatural feeling that it will be time
to change the old tradition when those who
are 70 be benefited by the change care enough
for 1t to demand it. Whenever the women of the
State OF New York authoritatively declare that
they wish to be voters at the polls, do not be-
heve there Will be any serious opposition; and
certainly do not see why the constitution
should not leave the matter optional with every
woman.
James Freeman Clarke's testimony is borne
thus

fatal overturn of all established things would
result from womens voting; but if all women

vic Admonition.

Judge SroRER, Of the Cincinnati Superior
Court, on the 18th, in his decision that
moneys invested in shares in National
Banks were taxable in Ohio as other prop
erty," was thoughtful enough to say, by
way Of admonition: "0ur first duty, we
admit, is to preserve the Union; but we
must not, in devotion to National vanity,
forget that it is composed of individual
States"
That's to say, States, as States, have rights
that deserve looking after-rlghts that the
Federal Government can not touch without
fragrant violation of the Constitution. AS
Judge SToRER is a gentleman OF recognized
undOubted loyalty, we commend his admo-
milton to the consideration Of those of hi;
party who are following the lead Of the
Destructionists in Congress.

Has Determined 10 Restore tise
Country.

A few days ago, President JOHNSON, in
responding to the committee who present.
ed him resolutions commendatory OF his
course, adopted at a mass meeting of the
people of Howard county, Maryland, said
that "there were times when the bravest
men needed encouragement, and that he
felt grateful for the appreciation of his pub
lie conduct" This is natural; but the as
surance he gave that committee, in connec-
ton with this declaration, that "t0'th The
Cons tuition as his guide, under God, ne 'odS
determined to restore the country" should send
the sunshine of joy to the heart OF every
patriot in the country. Think! ~ lth
the Constitution as his guide, under Cod
he was determined to restore the country"
Did ever object more noble challenge the
attention of man? The restoration OF his
country is evidently ever uppermost in his
mind. He has found a guide that is uner-
ring to produce a result so hallowed and SO
glorious, and that guideis the Constitution
and as God gives him strength he intends
to follow it. Does he not, therefore, de-
serve the commendatiOn of all who believe
IL the Constitution?

Taxing shares in National Banks

Judge Storer, of the Cincinnati Superior
Court, decided on Monday last, that mon
eys invested in shares in National Banks
were taxable in Ohio as other property. In
his opinion, which was somewhat elaborate,
he held that as "all bonds and other securi-
ties issued by the General Government are
not the subjeets of State taxation, our in
quiry is reduced to single point: Can the
shares of individual stockholders in Nation
al Banks be taxed?
The power to tax is given in express
terms by the torty-frst section of the act
to provide a national currency, but the
same power would exist if the provision
referred to had not been embodied in the
act.
lie concludes thus:
But the shares In these National institu-
tions are not part of the capital. A de-
post is made with the Treasury Depart
ment in United States bonds to the amount
of the stock subscribed, and bills represents
ing currency are issued to the bank. 1t is
on this circulating medium thus received,
as we'll as on their deposits, discount notes
and bills, that the profits of the shares ac-
crue; and it is but the levy of a percentage
upon the means which produce these profits
that is claimed by the State.
III, however, they are forced from the
general burden on the hypothesis urged by
counsel, an individual has but to invest his
whole estate, however large, in these insti-
tutions; while the Government which i'm
mediately protects his property, and al
lows him to .vindicate his rights in her
tribunals, derives no benefit from his estate
in reality he will bear no part of the public
burden.
Nor do we think the objection taken by
counsel, that the shares are not assessed al
their real value (the Auditor having placed
them on his duplicate at the sum they
stand credited on the books of the bank)
can be upheld.
sin thus deciding, we are satisfied we dc
nothing to impair the authority Of the
General Government, or lessen in the .least
degree cur solemn obligation, as judicia
tribunal, to uphold the law, while we sus.
tain, in its full integrity, ournational cred
it. Our first duty, we admit is TO preserve
the Union, but we must not, in devotion tt
national vanity, forget that it is composed
OF individual States"
