He Strikes Twice who Strikes
 Ouiokly.n

On the 9th of June, 1867, in the town of Raleigh. North Carolina, the Chief Justice of the United States opened the session of the Circuit Court. It was the first time that Justice of the Su- preme Court had sat on the bench in that State since the rebellion interiered with the jurisdiction of the Federal tribunals. Naturally enough, the Chief Justice signalized the occasion with an address, which was distinguished alike for it's liberality, its moderation, its dignity, and it's unaffected respect for civil authority Among other noble utterauces, he concluded with these memorable words:
 It is true that the military authority is still exercised within these Southern circuits. but not now as formerly, in conseauence of the disappearance of local authority, and in supervision or control of all the tribunals, whether State ol national. It is now used un- der the acts of Congress, and only to prevent illegal violence to persons and property, and facilitate the restoration of every State to equal rights and ben eft. in the Union. This military au- thority docs not extend in any respect to the courts of the United States. Let us hope that henceforth neither rebel lion nor any other occasion for the as- sociation of any military authority over the courts of justice will hereaf- ter suspend the due course of judicial administration by the national tribu- nsls in any part of the Republic.

The Improved System of Taxation.

We learn that Alr David A. Wells, the special Commissioner of the Revenue, who is now in Europe engaged in statisti cal and financial inquiries, has informed the Treasury Department that be will soon return, having most successfully full filled the object of his mission.
 He will be prepared to report new and improved system of taxation, internal and external, which will carry out the main principles which he advocated in his insnce report-but which Congress did not endorse-te obtain sufficient revenue for the necessary wants of the Govern ment, including interest on the public debt, ill a manner the least buraensome, and the most just and impartial, in rela- ton to the various industries of the coun- try.
 Que great feature of a new system must be the reduction of the number of articles selected for taxation, either by the tariff or by excises. Only fourteen different articles, of the whole list selected for internal duties, produced in 1866 over a hundred and sevsnty-six and half mil lion of dollars But of that amount dis titled spirits yielded only twenty-nine millions, five-eighths of the product escap- ing taxation. Mir. Sherman estimates the revenue from whiskey at eighty millions, if the law be enforced
 A large relolue can also be collected upon comparatively small number of imported articles. Eight-two millions could be collected, under -Er Wells scheme, from spirits, wines, &c., coffee and tea, spices, sugar, rice, tobacco and segars, and silks, without burdening indus try with heavy taxes on raw material, or for the protection of manufactures, an. amount of revenue could be collected which would meet all the legitimate pur- poses ofthe Federal Government Of course, we exclude the bounty swindle, which impose sixty or eighty millions of unnecessary expenditure upon the Trea- sury for the present year.
 .ur. Wells has shown exclusively that the protective policy of the present tariff is destructive of foreign commerce and the shipping interest, without even any cores bonding benefit to the interests protected
 According to the Now York Evening Post, the number of articles now subject to taxation is sixteen thousand Taxation may be confined to some twenty or thirty articles, or classes, with benefit to tho pro dactive energies of the country, and afford, at the same time, an ample and increasing fevcnue-Naf Int,

United Statas Bonds.

It is very significant fact that the United States securities are regarded as being on the increase in England. While the solid and stable old consols are yielding little, United States Five twenties are advancing. The combi- nations formed in New. York to dis credit the Government bonds have sig nallv failed of effect, and the parties engaged in the conspiracy have been held up by the respectable press to public scorn and contempt. They are more deserving of exile from the coun- try forever than ..the unrepentant re- bels" of the South, who arc denounced by Gen. Pope. The rebels are open enemies, but these jobbers and traitors deal in defamation and falsehood, through which they hope to undermine the national credit and shake the Gov ernment itself.
 Now that the United States bonds have begun to raise abroad, we may expect that they will reach par ere long. They certainly win, if recon struction on fair and reasonable basis be accomplished. This Government and the country are exposed to the dangerous machinations of both open and concealed enemies, of political as well as financial despcradoes. The doctrine of practical repndiatbn, through the payment of national obli- gations in waste paper, may give us some trouble, but will no doubt be ex- ploded by the sound sense and elevat- ing integrity of the mass ofthe people.

AssAssINAsIoS OF LoPRz.-A letter gives the following details of the assassi- nation of Lopez, who betrayed Maxi millan;
 l arrived here to-day and learned the startling news of the assassination of the traitor Lopez. The particulars of the as sassination are as follows Lopez was staying at hotel in Puebla, where his wife spurned him from her presence Early one morning Mexican arrived, and familiarizcd himself with an ostler in a livery stable adjoining the hotel. Gen eral Miguel Lopez was inquired for, but not being in, the stranger was told that the General would be at dinner. Before the dinner hour Lopez returned. and was pointed out to the stranger, who made special note of his man. When dinner was called, Lopez and his assassin occu- pied opposite seats at the table. Alter some minutes, during which time the stranger called for and drank a glass off wine, he deliberately rose, drew conceal cd knife, and sprang upon Lopes, and stabbed him nine times. The stranger then took his hat and, KS he started to leave, said: This is the way all traitors should be paid.
 No one interierred to prevent the as. sassia from leaving. Thus the blood of Maximilan, Miramon, Mejia, yes, and thousands of others, was ayeuged.-

my- y-Amssa Walker, of Mass, who has been collecting statistics on Ministers salaries, publishes the result lie has re ceived reports from LOCO ministers of eight different denominations. Of those whose reports were exact enough for classification, he finds that the average salary in 1860 was ST72 52; in 1867 it was s907 2S. From all these returns he deduces the general fact that since 1860 ministers salaries have advanced not more than twenty per cent, while the cost of living has advanced 100 per cent.

CirCusar.--The undersigned takes this as one of the methods to inform his friends, as will be seen from the sbovc card. that he has formed copartnerihip for the purpose of doing an exclusive commission business. In doing so he thanks his friends for all past favors, and asks for continuance of the same by consignment of their cotton aud other produce, from one dozen eggs up to one thou sand bales of cotton. Our Mr. Neyils has had long experience in the selling of cotton. &c., and is considered one of the best cotton sales men in the city. pledge myself that all things that may be entrusted to us shall have my personal attention and shall be promptly and correctly attended to, and,,stricily account cd for. As firm we owe nothing, and VIC have entered into an obligation not to endorse nor accept for any one unless NC have the cotton So. in hand. That being our policy. we will in no case have to sell ons man cot ton to pay another mans debt to keep from going to protest. Having been ctzen of Arkansas for the last ten years, and having had large acquaintance in the Confederate army, l flatter myself that VIC shall receive liberal share of patronage, and that shall yet be able to make living, and with that | am determined to be satisfied.

BEET SUGAR.-The manufacture of sugar
from beet root, it is believed, is destined
to become successful and an established
branch of industry in this country, especi-
ally in the West, where land is cheap,
rich, and peculiarly adapted to the growth
of the beet. We have several times re-
ferred to the sugar mandatory in Illinois,
conducted by two Frenchmen, in which
considerable capital is invested. Owing
to the difficulty of working new machinery
and the delay generally attendant upon
any untried enterprise, it was not profit,
able last year. About 100000 pounds OF
good sugar were produced. But TINS year
about one thousand acres are planted WIN
the beet, and it is confidently expected
one million pounds of sugar will De maze mao To-
Our contemporaries in the West Vest. when wi iSs
have the best opportunities to Judge o, daa
state of the question, have not the shado"
of doubt Of the success Of the project,
and that soon Illinois will be large ex'
porter of sugar.-Gnmanto,on Telegraph.

ALL PoR SHow.-The world is crazy for
show. There is not one person in thou
sand who dares fall back on his real, sim
pie self for power to get through the
world, and exact enjoyment as he goes
along. There is too much living in the
eyes of other people. There is no end to
the aping. the mimicry, the false airs, and
the superficial airs. 1t requires rare cour-
age, we admit, to live up to ones enlight-
ened convictions in these days. Unless
you consent to join in the general cheat,
there is no room for you among the great
mob of pretenders. If a man dares to live
within his means, and is resolute in his
purpose not to appear more than he really
Is, let him be applauded. There is some
thing fresh and invigorating in such an ex-
ample, and we should honor and uphold
such q man with all the energy in our
power.-EachQnge.
