DEATH or WIZ. X. PosroN.-The Memphis
Appeal Of the 9Th instant contains the pain
full announcement Of the death Of VIM. X.
Poston, one of the truest, best men in the
State. The Appeal says; g
In the death Of VIM. K. Poston, at seven
o'clock last evening, Memphis suffered an ir-
reparable loss, the full extent Of which will
be more appreciated as our people are made
to feel in the.lapse of time the lack Of his pru-
dence and authority, the integrity Of his coun-
his unblemished life In all those varied rela-
tons and offices in which they were wont to
look up to and beguided by the well-balauced
jugdment Of this wise and virtuous citizen.
A large and accurate knowledge of jurispru-
dence, genuine ability, mind enriched by
study, fluent and forcible speaker, he at
tanned to the head of the bar of this city; a
bar that ever found in him courteous,
genial and generous associate. OF character
adorned with every personal excellence, and
of the noblest disposition, he filled every
private and public relation with rare useful
ness, whether as husband, father of num-
erous family, legal adviser, the private citi-
zen ever promoting the general good, or
public representative, and has died, endeared
to all who knew him personally; respected
by all within the large circle in which hi.
worth, as man and citizen, was known
and profoundly regretted by the people of hi.

eight years age

The UNcoSsrITuTloNALIrY OF THE INCOME
TAXA case is being prepared by a citizen
of Sprinfeld, ILL.,, to test before the United
States Supreme Court the constitutionality
Of tho income of $4,000, but, protesting
against the Legality of the tax, declines to
pay il, and will, when the usual compulsory
action is brought. ask an injunction from
Judge Davis, of the United States Court
restraining the revenue collectors from
acting. BY this means the questions will
ultimately be brought before the highest ju-
dicial tribunal for adjudication.
The counsel who is engaged in preparing
the movement against the income tax law,
makes the following points;
!. The Federal Constitution provides AR
ticle /, section Q, paragraph 3, that repre-
sentatives and direct taxes shall be appor-
toned among the several States according TO
their respective numbers.
2. An income tax is q direct tax.
3. II must therefore, be apportioned
among the several States according to their
numbers.
4. The income tax, as now imposed by
acts Of Congress, is not apportioned among
the States according to their numbers, bu; il
is laid by the rule of uniformity.
5. The acts Of Congress imposing such in
come tax are, therefore, unconsti tutonal and
void. The tax cannot be collected.

TIE North is painfully realizing the fact,
that peace has its fires as well as war. From
all portions, comes the cry of fire, day after
day, and the consuming element seems bent
upon extending Its ravages wherever there

the loss is ten millions of dolllars--and two
thousand families are homeless. The South

ANsExArrov.--A bill has been introduced
into Congress, proposing the annexation of
the British Provinces 10 the United States.
As the consent of the inhabitants and of the
British Government are essential TO the per-
perfection Of the scheme, the probability Of
success is very remote. This, we presume,
Is of little consequences to the Radical

interesting fact, that the North West Is be-

ly the fact appears, the more sensitive the
favored Yankees become They trenble,
lest the infamous favoritism which is filling
their pockets with the hard earnings of hon

are beginning to inquire wherein lies the JUS
tice of fleeing them through the operations
Of high tariff, for the benefit of Yankee

no help for tiff one could be found who

rebeliious---not one would consent 10 be

negro was thought of--one who bad proved
faithful during war--and he was urged 70
take the Office. The oath was read TO him
