M~EMPHIs, August 9, 1867.
J. D. Darts, Tar Collector on Prf4zeees:
lam instructed by the Board Of Metropolitan
Police Commissioners to notify you that on
and AFTER the 18th instant you viii be required

further demands viii be made Of ten per cent

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

"sEc Is. That the Board OF Mayor and Al
is authorized to Increase the tax on
tipping houses to two hundred and aGy dol
lars per amman, and in case OF neglect or re-
fusal to increase it 20 at least one hundred

thorized to levy the said tax Of not less than
one hundred and Hny dollars nor more than

suits against parties whose licenses have ex-
plred, and who have faileI to make payment
Of amounts dus The city for the ten per centum
on the amount Of their purchases Of stock
as required by existing ordinance.
I am further instru5ted 10 inform you that

TIRE HONE MONTHLY FOH JULY. g.

This literary and religious periodical
deserves the notice which We have too
long neglected to give it. It is published
by A. B. STARK, at Nashville, Tenn,
monthly, containing forty-eight pages Of
reading matter, printed on due paper
and from clear type, and accompanied
by steel-plate engraviRgs- The subscrip-
ton price IS three dollars per snuum,
The July number Is infinitely superior
TO such Northern books as GODRy's
Lady's Book, and other periodicals Of
that Glass. Nearly every article is worth
reading, the prose excellent, and the
poetry fer superior to the ordinary staple
Of magazine rhymes. We reprint one Of
the poems on another page Of this paper.
1.-THE Editor at Home thus defines
his position:
Our third critic is the New York
Methodist q very able journal. II
sneaks well Of us; gives US some ensOur-
sginp words, but "would respectfully
s1bmit whether it is not about time for
southern journals TO cease speaking Of
'the lost cause as glorious one" In
rapIv. tUe would respectfully submit
whether it Is not about time for northern
journals to a speaking Of the brave,
patriotic soldiers OF the south as traitors
and Infamous men. You are the attack
ing party you must first cease till
then, a8e cannot cease. Chief among the
Taisons d efre Of this journals to yindi-
cate the honor Of the southern people.
Cease to Islander and revile US, and then
we will cease speaking Of the glory Of
" the lost cause"

Sensible Father.

A st. Louis correspondent writes: "a
son Of = wealthy banker, Charles B,
became enamored with the daughter Of
8 shoemaker, a poor, but pretty girl. The
father Of the son looked with no kindly
feeling on the attachment, but had no
idea thsr anything serious would grow
out Of it. A few days since he sent his
hopeful to the bank TO get a three thou
sand dollar check cashed. The young
sprig did this, but put the money in his
pocket, and, clipping with the girl, fed
to Belleville, and was Joined in the bonds
Of matrirnOny by 8 justice Of the peace.
The worthy psternal missing first the
money then the son, pursued the erriDg
couple, and in q most practical and mat
ter-of fact-way settled the affair. Give
me back the money said be, ~deducting
the expenses you have already been to
in getting this girl, and come bsek home
and attend to business and we'u say no
more about it, It is enough TO say that
the matrimonial expenses only amounted
to two hundred and eighty dollars, which
the old man cheerfully bore"

THREATENED CoxFIsCATION.
We End the following paragraph in the

We find the following paragraph lnth
National LateHigeacer
recent letter from Hon. Thsddeus
Stevens to a radical friend in this city
states that a bill will be presented at the
opening Of the November congressional
session for c~onfscating the property OF
all southern ex-slaveholders who dlsmlss
h freedmen for voting the republican
ticket Senator Wilson, it is understood,
strongly favOrs this course. The names
81 such ex rebels are 70 be collected 10y
he military commanders for reference.
Do STEVENS and WILSON suppose that
the property Of a man can be conhscated
in lime Of peace for discharging an I'm
pudent negro from mis- employment,
when he is bound by no contract to re-
tain him in IL? Congress cannot pass an
or post f1cto set, TO make an act an Of
fence after it is done, or to create a new
psnalty. They sre not such asses as to
suppose that any respectable Judge would
hesitate 10 decide such a law unconsltU-
tonal; and such an act a only be en-
forced by the Courts, in which all the
Judicial powers Of the Nation are vested.
When we reflect that not a single man
is employed by the Government any
where. even as a clerk, no can be a Post
master, who aided or sympathizea with
the rebellion that the Senate has re-
jected hundreds Of nominations made by
the President because the parties were
supposed to be ~tinctured with copper
headism; and that by means Of test
oath LAWYER are excluded from the prac-
tice Of their profession in the Federal
Courts, the idea that these men, thus
prescribed, disfranchised and oppressed,
are 10 continue to employ those who vote
10 maintain these disguslifcstiOns, is
simply absurd. We have not discharged
any negro, because We had no n in our
employ who voted at all bat We have
recommended and advised it, and we
would rot keep one in u service who
had voted for those who viii sustain and
continue all the cisqualifcatiOns under
which we lab0ur, and all the unconstitu-
tionsl taxes and impOsitiOns under which
the country lab0urs, il we knew that
everything we have on earth would be
confscated for it, and the charge Of trea-
son revived against Us and we arrested
and tried on it, the next day. The more Of
such things the radical party does, the
sooner it will die and rot aud its memory
stink in the nostrils OF all mankind.

The Prussisn government has caused
all the old maps Of Germany, on which
Hanover was marked as an Independent
kingdom, to be seiIed at the book stores
in Hanover. The plates at the printing
Offices Of the map publishers were like
wise seized. The ~aFistocTacy Of Hanover
raised a hue and cry about il, but the
booksellers and publishers do not grumble
at all. As the Prussian government pays
them for the maps taken, they are glad
to get rid in this manner of their old
stock.
Gen. Noltke has gone with his adju-
tants and a number Ofenginesrs to Siberia
to see what changes should be made in
the Silesiau railroad system to render it
better adapted to military purposes. This
is doubtless a hint intended for Francis
Joseph to be cautious in what he promises
to Napoleon III. at the visit which the
latter will pay to him in the course of the
present month.
Several Austrian department secreta-
ries have been detected in the nice busi-
ness Of selling diplomatic documents to
foreign papers. The richest part Of the
developments in this affair is the discOu-
cry that four. ifths of the dispatches thus
cold were forgeries.
Another remarkable fraud has recently
been discovered in Vienna. A swiDdler
had succeeded in obtaining q high Office
in the Austrian finance department by
presenting to the minister an autograph
order from the emperor that he should
be appointed to the position. 1t turned
out that the order was an impudent fOr-
gerry.
The late fair for the benefit of the Prus-
sian Soldiers Home, gotten up by the
Princess royal, Melted in five days forty
thousand dollars. The Crown prince and
bis wife had special stands, where they
sold goods with great success. The
Princess Victoria sold to the ladies chill
dre0is wearing apparel, little boots and
shoes, caps, dolls, etc.
The Duke Of Brunswick is the LAST of
his race. After his death bis dynasty,
one Of the oldest in Europe, will be ex-
tiBct. He is a tsciturn elderly gentle-
man, who spends most of his time in
reading theological books. After his
death the duchy Of Brunswick will be-
come a province of Prussia.
TheiBavarians think that their young
king will do a crest deal better after his
marriage with his pretty cousin. The
latter is a very spirited and accomplished
young lady, and the people of Bavaria
are generally willing 10 bet that she will
get the musical crotchets out Of her hege
lords head and make a sensible man of
him.
The rumor Of the insanity Of the
Archduehess Sophia are confirmed. She
showed strong symptoms Of madness
Immediately after Francis Joseph told
her that his brother, her son, had been
shot. An utter prOstration succeeded
the first violent outburst Of her grief, and
this was followed again by appalling fits
Of despair and rage.
