The TAX on BANKERS AND BROKERS'
Judge Nelson, of the United States Su-
prcmc Court, decided in case brought
before him in New York the other day
"that a person doing business under u
bankers license as broker is liable to pay
the brokers' tax on all such transactions,
and that purchasing stocks and selling the
same in his own name without disclosing
the name of his customer, and paying his
own money for the stocks so purchased,
render him liable to the brokers' tax"
But he very adroitly pointed out way
whereby both bankers and brokers can
evadc the tax-namcly, by putting in a
plea that they advanced money OH the
stocks of their customers, and sold them
out to reimburse themselves.

the reason that he has to consult with his

the Italian Government has been advised
that it will have to cease Immediately

Sensational speech by Montgomery
Blair.

PHILADELPHIA, July ls.-The Democrats
had q great meeting at Reading, in this
state, to-day. The only distinguished
speakers present were Montgomery Blair
and Mr.. Pcndlcton, of Ohio. Mr.. Blair
made u sensational speech, lauding the
Democratic party for loyalty displayed
during the war, and predicting that should
the Radicals carry the October election
the result would be the establishment of
t,co Presidents and t,ro Congresses; for the
Radicals would then Immediately impeach
President Johnson and turn him out, while,
on the other hand, the Democratic men,
bers of Congress would unite with the
regularly elected members from the South.
He also warned his hearers that they were
on the eve of another civil war, the battle
field of which would be in the North, while
the South would remain unit.
I'VE think that the above dispatch should
be read with considerable allowance, as
its truth seems to lis to be very improba-

Tur RrGuT SPIRIT-A Graceful Sur
RENpER.-The Columbus (Ga.) San, which
had opposed the sending Of delegates from
the South to Philadelphia, now says:
Throwing aside, therefore, any per-
Sonal objections of our own, We yield to
the generally expressed opinion that tie
South should be represented in the Phila-
dclphia Convention, with an earnest de-
sire and hope that our own fears may be
groundless, and that great good may result
20 the South and the country by Il cony"-
cation OF patriotic men DESTROYS of saving
all that civil war has left of personal
liberty and constitutional rights"
The spirit shown by the Sun is commend
able. When a man finds himself in the
wrong, he ought to confess his mistake and
not persist in his error merely for the
sake OF consistency.

TIE CRops.-The wheat has been cut in
this section, and is found to be ofexcellent
quality. 1t was generally thin on the
ground, but has headed remarkably well.
From all We can learn, we are induced to
believe that in quality, and quantity also,
il will exceed the yield of last year. The
quality Of the grain is unusually fine.
The recent rains have come In good time
for the corn and oat crops, which were be-
ginning to suffer. The prospects Of both
crops are very fattering, and large yield
Is confidently anticipated. "a.
The crops of rye and barley have also
turned out well. 1t is to be regretted that
larger crops had not been sown.
The grass crop will be much shorter than
usual in this county. We hope, however,
to have enough for home consumption,
with some to spare. Altogether, we have
reason to be satisfied with our crops, and
to be thankful to the Giver of all GOOD

PERSONNEL OF THE PHILADELPHIA Con-
vENTloy.-Thc Radical Disunion press are
evidently very anxious for the Convention
to be composed Of what they term North
crn coppcrhcads and Southern secession
lists. They see in such 4 composition of
the Convention very considerable elc-
mcnt out of which 10 make capital. But
We apprchcnd that in this regard they are
destined to signal disappointment. The
great Conservative Union party Of the
North will he represented in the Convcn-
ton bv men whose devotion to the country
has been conspicuous. The party at the
South who seek so ardcntly the earl y and
complete restoration of the Union will
doubtless, in the selection Of delegates to
the Convention, send such men as, by their
antcccdcntS, will most fully give the stamp
"l nationality Ia the Convention. Men
"who accept the national situation and
cordially endorse the principles set forth
in the call, appearing in the Convention
from the South, urging restoration OF the
Union, would give to the action of the
Convention immense moral power. A
delegation Of this character from the South
would exercise 4 vast influence for good at
this time. We take ii for granted that the
people of the South, in availng themselves
of the opportunity presented by this Con.
vcntion Of making known the national sen
tincnt of the South, will do so in such a
manner As to give the fullest force to their
action. To attain this purpose, they cam
not have too much regard to the personnel
Of their delegations. The Importance OF
this matter is so obvious that ii is unncccs-
sary longer to dwell upon it.-Natioao
