In the United States Court, yesterday,
the case of Vim. NJ. Harrington IS. Rolfe
S. Saunders, United States Revenue Col
lector, involving the constitutionality Of
the law levying a tax on cotton, was sub
mitted as an agreed case, without argument,
for decision, in order that the Gaze may be
carried up to the Supreme Court. Judge
Trigg stated that he would much prefer 10
have had the case fully argued, but that
inasmuch as counsel much desired TO take
il to a higher tribunal, and as he felt that
it was important that the highest Judicial
tribunal should give an opinion on that
subject, he would, for the purpose Of ac-
ceding to their wishes, in this particular,
give judgment IN favor Of the defendant
thus deciding, in effect, that the act levy
ing tax on cotton ,ods constitutional
There are many in this section who will
await the FINAL decision Of the Supreme

wILLTHERE BE A WARM EUROPE

On this important point the London
correspondent of the New York Times
writes as follows:
The opinion seems TO gain that there
will be a war in Europe next summer
There is no business, but plenty of breech-
leaders. The Bank of England does not
go below two per cent, but at that price
money is not in demand. Every word ut-
tered by the Emperor is scanned with a
feverish curiosity. The ranks of the army
are full Immense quantities of oats are
going from the north of Europe to France
As fast as a regiment is trained in the use
of the Chassepot rifle it is moved toward
the Rhine frontier. Sixty thousand men
are massed near Luxemburg. The new
cannon, which fires twenty balls minute
and mows down forest mile off, is ex-
citing a great sensation. If half reported
of it is true, nothing can stand before it.
Then night battles are being organized and
night signals arranged, 80 that if the
French can not shoot their opponents,
they can attack them with the bayonet
| under cover of darkness.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SA-
80 TRAPIES.
TIE Question Of ReOpeninS Regisfra-
5 tiOn-WEaf Grant Thinks About tt
Something about Hancock


Something about Hancock.
Correspondence of the Louisville Courier.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 2I, 1867
Gen. Hancock, the successor to the re-
doubtable Sheridan, is here by order of the
President, however, and not at the instance
of Gen. Grant. Ii is uncertain how long
he will remain, and when he goes il will
be by order of the President He will
make his headquarters, not al Baton
Rouge, La, as heretofore reported, but
elsewhere on the line of the New Orleans
and Jackson railroad. Gen. Hancock is
an old-line Democrat and is decidedly con-
sentative in his opinion. He does not be-
lieve negro is more loyal or better than
white man. and, therefore, he will be abused
by the Radicals. He will be governed by
the letter of the law, and like true sol-
dier obey orders. He will, not, therefore,
swerve from his line of duty for partisan
purposes or for political promotion. The
Jscobins cannot use him, 30 you may look
out for the dogs to bark-Tray, Blanche,
and Sweetheart, and all.
The President has ordered the election
in the 9Th district to take place November
LIST, and cher district commanders Wit res
ceive the same orders for the States in their
departments, that the election may be ST.
mutaneous in all OF the Southern States.
The President and General Grant are at
issue as to the reopening of registration.
The General opposes it on the ground that
the practical purpose of it is to admit to
the franchise those Rebels who were de-
barred from the right until their sins were
healed by the amnesty proclamation. And
he also thinks that their assumad rights
(political) under said amnesty must first
receive legal sanction before they can be
deemed qualified to use this sacred priyi-
lege. He thinks the effect would be to re-
open agitation in the North. To all this
the President disagrees, believing that the
amnesty proclamation relieves them from
all disabilities, and both as to principle
and propriety urges the Ieopening The
matter is within the power of the district
commanders, who have reason to believe
will conform to the wishes of the Presi-
dent.
Gen. Hancock has not indicated his in
tentions, but from his well known Consery-
atism there is scarcely doubt entertained
as to what his course will be.

sovereigns, both great and small, by the French

that gay city has revelled during the summer,
have postponed the seaside season In Europe
