tion Committee are expected soon 10 make O
report on the several plans now before
them, looking 10 the Rehabilitation Of the
Southern States Their views have not,
however, yet taken definite shape. There
seems no doubt that some provisions will
be adopted by which to avoid the effect of
any possible recognition of the Southern
States by the United States Supreme Court.
Amendments to the internal revenue
laws are nov under consideration by the
Committee on Ways and Means 1t il
probable that many articles, for the benefit
Of agriculturists and Others, will be exempt
from taxation, such as salt, butter, cheese,
leather and farm wagons.
The National Intelligencer gives an ac-
count, purporting to be the proceedings of
the Southern Republican Association held
last night, at which twenty representatives
Of States took part in the discussion in
favor Of hol3ing a convention at Washing
ton, on OF about the 4th Of March next.
to urge the impeachment Of Andrew John
son as the only hope of the South for a
speedy reconstruction.

A SINGULAR CAsE.--A suit has been brought
against dentist of Cincinnati for extracting a
tooth without the consent of its owner, who
claims three Thousand dollars damages. 1t
seems that the plaintiff, German, alleges that
while he was in his brothers saloon, in March
last, suffering with tooth-ache and swelled
jaw, the defendant whois barber and tooth
extractor, came up and asked permission to
examine his mouth. The plaintiff to provide
against sudden experiment being made, said
that he did not desire his tooth extracted, but
opened his mouth to allow an examination,
when the dentist surreptitiously slipped in his
forceps, causing the plaintiff to yell so ferccy
as to alarm all the boarders and inmates of the
establishm ent, broke the tooth, and then, pro
ceeding to extract the roots, opperated so neg
ligbntly and unskilfuly as to iniure or carry of
part of the jawbone, causing not only great
pain, but seeious DO lily injury. The same
night extensive inflammation appeared in the
upper part of the face; there was protusion
of the eye-ball, and shortly after lock jaw, the
injury continuing to assume different symp-
toms until the 4th of July, when he had to
visit hospital in the city for the purpose OF
having an operation performed. No decision
in the case has yet been made.

The clerical story of Norwood" Beecher's
novel, does not seem to show so well on the
stage as it did in the Ledger, and any one
might have guessed as much, since there is
nothing dramatic or sensational in the tale
itself In truth, when you take away the ef-
fective style and manner of the author you
deprive the work of its great charm. 1t has
not passion enough to produce anything like
dramatic effect, and the stage play is to. the
story what the wrong side Of a garment is to
the right one None of Scott's novels did well
on the stage-except Rob Roy-and this ex-
ception was owing to the Baillie Nicol Jarvie
of his friend, Terry.
