The Poison of the Day.

ADVICE GRATIS TO PRINTING OFFICE
LOArERs.-0R entering the office, al.
ways endeavor to make as much noise
rs possible, or else you nay not attract
the attention of all the inmates, as they
are generally busy. After you are sat
isfied that all have noticed You, if you
should be anything of whistler, be
sure to strike up tune, 1--WE would
suggest "Dixie"ifyou know it, printers
are fond of whistliEg i'm the office.
Then look over the shoulders OF the CON-
positors and see what they are setting.
IL 1t should DC manuscript, don't forget
20 ask who wrote il, and what it is
about, If the printers are so iil-man-
nerly Is not to answer. yon should CON-
mence whistling again.
IL the editor should be so poor MS TO
be compelled to have his sanctum in
the printing office, 20 up to him next,
and look over his shoulder and see
what he is writing. Ii you can't make
1t ont, ask him; should he attempt to
evade the question, you may take it
Tor granted that it is none of your bust
ness, aud may therefore resume your
whlstling to manifest your CONTEMPT of
his ill-manners. y
Look at, and handle all the tyne Won
conveniently can, no matter if va,
should pns them back in the WRONG
places, they can be found in proof-read
ing. Bnt don't forget to whistle. If
you can get into the editors chair, do
90, but don't occupy it more than an
hour when there are half dozen others
waiting for their turn, of course the ed
itor has no use for it, and if he had it
would be bad manners for him to write
IN presence of his company.

How TO TELL. GOOD FLOUR.-Place u

The Test Oath Decision.

The Supreme Court of the United States has
rendered decision declaring the test oath un
constitutional, and resembling the rule Of the
Court requiring Attorneys to take the oath =
The National hatelligencer says:
''By the solemn award of the Supreme Court,
test oaths are pronounced contrary to the Con-
stitution, and inconsistent not only with its
spirit, but its letter.
The opinion was first delivered, by Justice
Fields, in the case of Rev. John A. Cummims
of Missouri, Roman Catholic Priest, indicted
for preaching and teaching without taking the
oath prescribed by the constitution of that
State, being plaintive in error. The court de-
being in the nature of punishment without trial.
and in its character ec post tacto, and as bill
of attainder The Judgment Of the court below
is reversed.
In the rpayte cases of Garland & Mari, at
torneys, who, having participated in the re
bellion, ask to be admitted to practice, the
majority opinion of the court is that the test
oath law is in the nature of an &c post .fdcto
law; that attorneys are not officers of the Uni
ted States, they are officers of the court, and
hold their Offices during good behavior. The
court is not the register Of the edicts ofany 9TH
er power The applicants obtained pard m
from the President, which relieves from the
consequences of offence. and makes the citizen
in the eye of the law what he was before it was
committed Congress cannot limit, the pre-
rogative of mercy cannot be fettered by legisla-
tive restriction, and therefore the rule which
requires attorneys to take the test oath must be
reScinded, and the order is made accordingly
The dissenting opinion was read by Associate
Justice Miller, for himself, Chief Justice Chase,
and Associates Swayne and Davis.

LADIES MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION.

The Ladies of the Memorial Association of this
place will hold Fair and give public dinner
the 4th Monday in March, the 18th Court
day. for the purpose ofsecuring additional means
for the prosecution of the noble work in which
they have been so long, and so assiduously, and
so industriously engaged as, though much has
been accomplished, yet much still remains to be
done. 1t requires no stirring appeal to enlist the
warm and hearty sympathies of our people, and
they will not need to be urged to cooperate in
this holy work. Nearly all can contribute some
thing, and none who can, should fail to do So
We hope the ladies flor it is upon the ladies that
we rely in each neighborhood, in this and the
adjoining counties will organize and secure con-
trbutions of suitable articles and have them sent
in time to the Memorial Association of this
place-say week or ten days previous to the
4th Monday in March. We are pleased to be
enabled to state that we have never made call
of this kind upon the good people of this glorious
old county which was not responded to promptly,
literally and generously We have the most i'm
plicit confidence that such will be the in this
instance.

Whisky tax and LOYALTY.

The Union Register, published in Monroe
county, W. Va, approves of the heavy Federal
tax upon whisky, and says:
We suppose that one reason why the Radicals
are so rigid upon the lovers Of the ardent is
that they may encourage a spirit OF loyalty
throughout the country. Under the influence
of these laws every rum sucker, however rebel
lions, is in the course of time bound to become
a loyal man. 1t is net too large an estimate to
say that at least one half the cost ofevery dram
goes to the General Government. Every time
therefore the drammer lifts the beverage to his
lips, he must feel that he is performing a pa
triotic act-flling the public Golfers. He must
in fact feel that he is drinking the health of
Uncle Sam Under these influences, we do not
see how regular guzzler can be suspected of
disloyalty. He should be permitted to register
at once He does more for the Government, in
proportion, than other citizens, and he does it
regularly, Systematically, and there is every
probability that he will continue to do SO until
death.

ACCIDENT. An accident happened with the
down stage, few nights ago, which fortunately,
was not attended with any very serious conse-
quences. 1t appears that as the stage was
crossing Stony Greek, just above Edinburg, the
driver was thrown from his box into the creek,
caused by the stage running over the end of a
log. and at the same time the horses taking
fright, dashed through the creek, and up the
hill, taking stage and passengers at lively rate;
ned. The driver then coming up, wet as a
drowned cat, mounted the box again and drove
to Edinburg, and when he arrived there he had
to be lifted from his seat and taken to the fire.
his clothing having frozen upon his person.
