sEs- The rebel organ Of this county is still sore
upon the subject of the mass meeting held here
on the Esd of May last, and after having exhaust
ed all other to bring it into disrepue, last
week descends to downright lying. First it In
sinuates that we could get no one to address our
meeting. That this is false is proved by
the fact that prominent gentlemen from abroad
were present who had no opportunity to speak,
because of the lateness of the hour. l: says
again that Col. Stokes announced himself to be
in favor of negro suffrage. Col. Stokes did
no such thing he denounced the idea of negro
suffrage, but expressed his conviction that it was
a question that we would yet have to meet and
decide one, merely, of time. And the Journal
asserts that when Col. Stokes promulgated this
idea, the editors of the Union " vigorously APP
plauded," and then admonishes US that we " need
not deny it" for that he was within seeing and
hearing distance of all that transpired," and has
the most unlimited confidence ~ in bis organs
of vision. Perhaps his organs of vision are as
treacherous as his organs of hearing. Once be-
fore be called " Echo " to his aid to inquire why
we did not publish a certain speech, and when
we told him the number of our paper in which
it was contained, thus convicting him Of either
wilful falsehood or gross carelessness in making
charges he could not sustain, he had no word to
say in his defence. We now assert unequivocal-
", that we did not applaud Col. Stokes remarks
concerning negro suffrage. We thought them
ill-timed and uncalled for. Our opinions upon
negroes and negro suffrage are too well-known
to require any explanation now, but this much
we will say that when the Union party of Balti-
more County becomes the advocates OF negro
suffrage either qualified or unqualified, we cease
to be its organ. u aaN =
We have a complete file Of the Union in oar
Office for all the time in which we have been en-
gagged in its publication. Will the editor Of the
Journal be kind enough TO step into our Office
and show US the number in which we designated
any one as hell-deserving Rebel p This
invitation is also extended to g Reuben, in or
der to enable him to show on what occasion we
denominated any one as Bhe-rebel.") That
we have called men " traitors " we do not deny /;

gs- The Tax bill, as finally reported by tn

Gs> The Tax bill, as finally reported by the
Committees of Conference, was adopted by both
Houses of Congress an Friday. In the original
bill, the tax upon cotton was fixed at five cents
per pound by the House, and two cents by the
Senate. The Conference fixed the tax at three
cents. Cigars valued at over Sl2 per thousand
are to pay a tax Of 81 per thousand, beside TWEEN
ty per cent. upon their market value. State
banks, which have been converted into National
banks, are to pay an additional duty of one
fourth of one per cent. upon their old circulating
notes, Several articles of manufacture, such as
wine, mead, iron pipes for water and drainage,
and telescopes, were placed upon the free list
The limit of exemption from the income tax was
continued at $500, as heretofore, The effect of
the bill will be to considerably tighten taxation
upon agricultural and small manufactures-the
difference being made up By the imposts npon
cotton and some other articles. pf8 D9llo

POINTED ADVICE. Coy. Morton, Of Indiana

in speech in indianapolis, said: aFo = +
"And here let me address word to the young
men of Indiana. You are just starting in life,
with the world all before you, where and how to
choose. Beware how you connect your fortunes
with a decayed and dishonest party, indelibly
stained with treason, and upon whose tombstone
the historian will write, False to liberty, false
to its country, and false to the age In which it
lived" The Democratic party has committed a
crime for which history has no poraon, and tho
memories Of men no toTgetfulnese; sUhose colOrs
grow darker from age to age, and for achich the e1-
ecrdtions Of mankind become more bitter from, gene

ss- The pardoning business in Washingto

Gs- The pardoning business in Washington
is likely to receive considerable check from the
determination of the President to pardon nobody
hereafter who does not apply in person. Hither-
to pardons have been largely obtained by bro
kerS in Washington, and from this business wo7
men were not excluded gratifying sign Of the
progress made by the sex in the assertion Of its
rights" Pardons have, however, been grant
ed on such great scale that there is no longer
the slightest tinge of hu miation left in the idea
of being pardoned The old sense of the remis-
sion OF penalty justly incurred has completely
passed away from the word. Southerners now
apply for pardons as for seat in the opera, or
a passport, as thing which can be had, of
course, on compliance with certain formalities /;
and in great numbers of cases people who could
afford it have let agents do the dirty part of the
business, the lobbying and answering questions,

will not matter if in the past no epithet was too
vile, no measure Of reproach too full to apply to
them Gov Swami and Mr. Bradford have

his praise, and will help elect him to the United

to eject na1, Of their own principles Ben. Harris,

the rebels was but fit retrebution for his many
crimes nov he is one Of them, sought after,
