eomplicityi in the assassination. For what
else did ASHLEY visit CONOvER in jail?
For what other purpose was he valuable
after he had been convicted? Did they
want the President to pardon him out Of
gratitude, and as a reward? Or was it
that the President might thus make him

From the st. Louis Republican.


A reference to our ~telegrsphic dis
patches will show that the president has
sent a formal request to Secretary STAN
ton to vacate his place in the war
department. Nor can there be any
question that, for a long time past, Stan
ton has been aware that, in the circle of
the presidents eOunsellOrs, his room was
more acceptable than his Not
only the president, but also his cabinet
council long since ceased to have anv
regard for Mr.. Stanton, or any respect
for his department and the motives
which inue6nce his official conduct. 1t
is understood hat he has been act
ing the part Of a spy and infOrmer,
in the interests of the radical
party, rather than that of a faith
full adviser in the interests of the
administration. His object has been to
thwart, not to facilitate, the action of
those who are charged, in their executive
duties, with the interests of the country.
Aud perhaps no man in the country is
better qualified, by his moral and intel
leotual organization, to act Just such a
part. A stranger 10 refinement and the
amenities Of culture, sharp, impudent,
brusque, prying, with a swagger Of def
anee in his air, and a t~ireless activity in
gratifying his curiosity, he is a most
valuable agent, in such a position,
for the radical malignants whom he
serves. He has been the medium through
which, without doubt, the councils Of
the administration have been anticipated
and INSTRUCTED, its policy betrayed and
its motives misrepresented and ma
ligned. He is 5 Semproneous IN preten-
siOns, an Iago in t~reaehery. The cold
shoulder of the entire cabinet cannot
abash such q character his self assnr-
ance is impenetrable, his insensihility

MEMPHIs, August 9, 1856.

MEMPHIS, August 8, 1857.
J. D. Darts, Tn Collector on Privileges
lam instructed by the Board Of Metropolitan
Police commissioner to notify you that on
and after the 18th instant you win be required
to collect the snm of ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY DOLLARS on all licenses granted to
keepers OF tipping houses within the city Of
Memphis, as sn annual privilege tax. No
further demands viii be made OF ten per cent.
on amount Of stock purchased during the pre-
viOus year from parties taking cut new licenses.
This actor Of the Board is BASED upon the fol-
lowing section Of the amendment to the City
Charter passed March 9, 1857:
asEn. Is. That the Board Of Mayor and Al
dsrmen is authorized 70 increase the tax on
tipping houses TO " hundred and fifty dol
lars per annum, and in case OF neglect or re-
fusal to increase it 70 at lesst one hundred
and nifty dollars per annum, then the
Board Of Police Commissioner is hereby au-
thorized to levy the said tax OF not less than
one hundred and nTy dollars nor more thar
two bundred and hny dollars, the same to be
collected by the Tax collector as in other
cases"
You are furthermore instructed 10 institute
suits against parties whose licenses have ex-
pIred, and who have failed to make payment
Of amounts due the city for the ten per centum
tax on the amount of their purchases Of stock
as required by existing ordinance.
I am further instructed to inform you that
the Board OF Police Commissioners have in
contemplation a stnl further Increase ofthist tax
10 two hundre and nry dollars per annum,

THE National b~ateRjgenoer says of the

THE National HlteHigeBceT says Of the
cotton crop now growing
The crop is estimated at eighteen hun
bred thousand bales as the minimum.
It may, under very favorable cOntin-
gencies, exceed this quantity by several
hundred thousand bales. The last years
crop fell considerably short Of estimates
made 81 this stage Of the season, in con-
sequence chiefly Of uufavorable weather.
This season lsbor is o expensive and
less reliable than it was last year. The
freed people, who work on shares, de-
mand One-half Of the crop, and are not
easily induced 70 work even for that PGr-
ton. The planter encounters the risk
and expense Of a cultivation, including
all the fixed capital, the land, stock, ETC.,
and Their labor takes one half Of the
product, while the government lies in
wait 10 seize upon another portion,
through the cotton tax, as well as
through the tax which the planter pays
indirectly upon every article Of his con
sumption. Cotton planting was not
highly remuuerative last year, and this
season it has been, so far as is now
known, conducted al a positive loss to
the planter.
The political engagements OF the freed
men this year will distract their atten-
ton from field l8bOrs. If they give their
time to radical politics they are promised
rewards; aud if their employers should
not pay them for the neglect Of their
work, then the planters land and all
other property will be co~nfiscated, and
given 10 the negro voters. This last
decree of the radical powers wa made
recputlv by the great cOufiscatOr, Mr..
Stevens, and has had already its desired
effect. TIE negroes, not loving labor at
any time, will prepr idleness, when they
find that will pay better th2p industry.
One third Of the cotton that went for
ward to market last year, was OF the
growth of 1865, which parties had kept
on hand. This year, none Of the cotton
Of the last crop remains to 90 forward,
except here aud there q few bales and
we Judge that much less cotton will be
made this year, than was made last.

The acting minister of the interior In
france is an American. He was born In
Boston, and his fathers name was
Welies. When he was four years old,
his parents went with him TO France,
where the Marquis de Lavalette took a
liking to him and finally adopted him.
Some seven or eight years ago, an impe-
rial decree naturalized him as a French
subject, and sieee then he called himself
Welles Comte de LaValette. He made
himself notorious by his ultra imperial
ism, and was rewarded by being put
up at the last elections as govern
ment candidate for a seat IN the
corps legislstiR The opposition candi-
date twitting him with his foreign de-
scent, and that a native of the United
States looked singular in playing the role
OF an ultra imperialist, Welles issued q
card in which he Indignantly r~epudiated
the country Of his birth, and claimed
that he bad become q F%renehman from
the bottom Of his heart. His district
being overwhelmingly B~0nspartistic, he
was, Of course, elected, and after the
Marquis de Lavaiette became minister Of
the Interior appointed Welles his under
secretary. Whenever the minister Is
temporarily absent from Paris, Welles
has charge OF the administration of this
important department.
