The Attorney. General, in response to the
inquiry of the President on the subject, has
given an opinion to the effec; that the
President cannot separate the districts for
the collection of tax on cotton from dis
tricts for the assessment and collection OF
taxes on other products. This was the
point which the delegation Of southern
cotton factors and planters presented In
their memorial TO the President few days
since. The Secretary Of the Treasury has
also denied an application TO have the bounda-
ries of collection districts changed, on the
ground that 1t would take longer for new ap-
pointe to qualify, select, and instruct their
assistants than 1t would for the present
officers to appoint a sufficient number OF as
sistants and deputies. All the officers Of the
Internal Revenue Department south have

DARING RoBBERY-SEvEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS STOLEN FROM A BROKERS OFFICE
IN HARTFORD, CoNNECTICrT.-A robbery,
remarkable for its boldness, has recently
been committed in this city, the particu-
lars of which have been withheld from the
public for reasons satisfactory to the par
ties interested.
Two men, it is supposed, entered the
sleeping apartment of Alfred 5. Robinson,
gold and stock broker, in the marble block,
Central row, and while he slept took his
Office and safe keys out Of his pantaloons
pocket, and then proceeded to the office,
where they had no difficulty in runmaging
to their hearts content.
From the safe they distracted treasury
notes and coin to the amount Of $1,000,
leaving behind many valuable papers which
they were shrewd enough to know could
not be easily disposed of; and having done
this, returned to Mr.. Robinson's house and
replaced the keys where they found them.
In the morning, on going to the office, he
discovered the robbery, which was, OF
course, u great mystery to him. The safe
was locked, and he had the keys. His sus-
picions were excited, however, as to the
guilty parties, and information was given
at once to the Chief of Police, who has the
case in hand. No arrests have yet been
made.-HUtford Times, September Eth.

4 pISGEACErrL AFFAIR.
JrS, before dark on Monday evening a
group of scventy-tive to hundred persons
were assembled at the corner of Fourteenth
street and PENNSYLVANIA avenue to witness
a lfcht between two cripples, one minus a
Lr and the othar an arm. In the heat OF
the contest a friend "f the one legged man
lit the onc-armed Ilan under his ear with
a Lrickbat, cutting open the flesh and fell
iay him To the ground. AT about the same
momcm, the man with single leg struck
a furious blow with his crutch, which was
a heavy one, bringing down two other men
with bloody heads. As the melee was be-
coming rather too general, we withdrew,
and how long afterwards the police arrived
IN the spot, if at all, We cannot tell.
Whisky seemed to be the handspring OF
the quarrel.

The WRONGS SUFFERED BY VIRGINIA.
The Louisville Courier reminds the public
that in the cessiOn made by the State OF
Virginia to the United States of the north
western territory, extending from the Ohio
river to the great lakes, and from the Penn
sylvania line to the Mississippi river, 1t was
specially provided, and made part of the
compact, that all the lands so ceded should
be considered common fund for the use
and benefit of the several States, Virginia
included, according to their usual respec
tive proportions in the general charge and
expenditure, and should be faithfully and
bona fde disposed of for that purpose, and
no other use or purpose whatsoever.
"How has this compact been observed by
the United States! The money arising
from this magnificent donation of the
State of Virginia has been employed in
the work of her subsection; which being
accomplished, she is now excluded from
the Union and denied her fair participa-
ton in the rights thus specifically reserved.
This operation may therefore be fairly re.
garded as the most monstrous swindle OF
which history furnishes any account"
