covery of taxes paid by them upon lager bier IN October
1862 and which, they claim improperly assessed

BY the Oth section of the act OF July 1862 which took
effect ON the lst of September tax Laid on lager
beer which shall be brewed manuiactuTcd' and sold
removed for consumption sale after the ls day Of

The plaintiffs claimed that under this section the bier
i'm question taxable. the tax only accrued upon
bier which both brcwed and sold after september l.
Counsel for defendant claimed on the other hand, that
the tax properly assessed upOn the bier IN question
from the fact that was removed for sale after the law

THE MORTON GOLD Pen IN HARTFORD
We are pleased to learn that Mr.. Morton, the
maker Of the famous Morton Gold Pens, has
now an agency for the sale of this splendidpen
in Hartford. VIM. James Hamersley is the
agent, No. 2G3 Main-st., from whom all pur-
ehasers can be supplied; and dealers can pur-
chase of Mr.. Hamersley at the club rates OF dis
count. Mr.. MOrtous system OF doing business
is his own. He has been driven into the
adoption of this system by the outrageous
frauds of many unprincped persons who trade
ON Morton's reputation, and sell spurious and
worthless pens purporting to be his. To such
an extent has this swinde been carried, that Mr..
Morton has been compelled to announce that
in future his pens will only be sold at his own
establishment, No. % Maiden-lane, New York,
and by his authorized and certified agents. MIR.
Hamersley is the only agent for these celebrated
pens. so far as we know, in this section of Con-
nectcut
The Morton pen needs no introduction to the
readers of The Times. Thousands of our read
ers already know its superiority, many of them
from actual trial. but there are thousands more
who may have forgotten our former indorse-
ment of this splendid pen, as the best gold pen
ever made; and for their benefit we speak
again. 70 advise them of these facts: l. That
no other gold pen is so cheap, because no
other wears so well; @ That no other Is so
well made, because Morton, by long years OF
patient and delicate experiment, and the use
of costly and nice machinery, used by him
alone. is able TO insure uniform and genuine
excellence, both in material and finish, that Is
quite unrivaled; and, land most Important
That in the principle of their construction tnnl
these pens are immensely superior to all others
and stand by themselves alone. They approach,
more nearly than any other gold pen, natures
model in the old fashioned goose quill, possess
inc all the elasticity and smoothness OF the
best quill, with more than its spring ana

The REACTION IN MArNE.-The result of
the election in Maine has astonished all
parties. The democratic gain is at least
Fourteen Thousand in total poll of about
one hundred thousand notes.-the largest
percentage of gain for many years record
ed in any New England state. In this cleo
ton the republican party was thoroughly
united end was fairly met on the political
issues of the day.
Maine is the seventh state where a gen.
eral election has been held since the pas
sage of the reconstruction measures. In
every one the republicans have lost largely
on the popular vote, and corresponding
loss in the remainder of the states ensures
not merely the defeat, but the utter disso-
luton of the radical organization. That
this is to be the restlt of its career of out
rage and usurpation seems now inevitable.
