Obituary.

We have been furnished with the fol-
lowing as an inscription for the tomb of
defunct Black Republicanism:
Here lies
The body Of
RADICAL REPUBLICANISM,
Born A. D. 1856,
Died A. d. 1867,
Aged IL years.
An excellent midwife. "Woolly Horse" by
name, presided at his birth.
Fraud, Treason, Discord and Division
were the milk Of his early years.
A fratricidal war supported his middle
life.
Corruption, Bribery, Theft and immoral
ity distinguished his latter days.
An overdose Of "Nigger and Treason, T"
administered in Pennsylvania by
The Distinguished Surgeons,
Simon Cameron and
Thaddeus Stevens,
Aided by fatal disease of the kidneys,
produced by the fragments Of the
Constitution sticking there
in, produced his
death.
His grave was dug October s, 1867.
His body was therein deposited November
5, 1867.
"He has fought his last hght, he has seen
his last battle,
No sound will awake him to PLUNDKH again.
By this time he stinketh.

Not So Fast, Gentlemen. m.

The opponent of Mr.. Yallandigham
are attempting game that is rather old
and somewhat played out" They pro-
fess to regard his defeat as certain, and
preterd to take it for granted in all their
communications
There is an old proverb about count
ing chickens before they are hatched,
which we recommend to these gentlemen
We know that large number of the
elected members have openly avowed
themselves in favor of Mr.. Vsllandighsm
while very considerable portion ofthose
claimed against him, are either for hin
or are entirely uncommitted.
We say to his friends, everywhere, thai
we have been shown satisfactory evidence
that if the question is at this time set
tied in favor of any person for that po
sition, it is for him.--Dayton Ledger.

Murder i'm Parkersburg,

We make the following extract from
the Times account Of the bloody affair:
Another Horrible Murder-A Man
Gagged and has Jngalar Eeia Yes
terdaJ morning eur quiet CITY was great
ly excited with the news Of another at
rocious murder committed on last Thurs
day evening, and discovered several hours
after the death Of the victim. M
A Hungarian named Rudolph Teutor
who at the time was living in q ono story
house near the outer railroad depot in
the skirts of Parkersburg, was brutally
murdered and robbed of sum Of mon
ey, the proceeds Of sale of q horse
which he had just sold.
The murdered man was found yester-
day morning lying on the floor Of his
residence, which he rented from Mr., VIM.
Beehler, with fleece lined cotton glove
forced down his throat and his left tenn
pie crushed into the brain and number
Of gashes which nearly severed his left
ear, and the back of his neck cut to the
bone-all the large blood vessels being
cut entirely through.
Justice Tsegart, acting as Coroner on
this occasion, summoned a jury and ex-
amined a number of Witnesses, from
whom nothing was elected further than
that the victim of the murder was seen
to enter the stable with man about three
o'clock P. NJ. on Thursday, and from
thence both went into the house. AT
Z o'clock P. NJ. on Thursday evening the
dog-a very savage one-was heard to
make great noise.
The murdered man was evidently killed
outright with blow from hammer or
other heavy instrument, or knocked in
sensible before the veins were cut. No
blood had spirited from the wounds upon
the walls sr furniture Of the room in
which the butchery was performed.
The Coroner's Jury, after hearing all
the testimony that could be elected, ad-
journed to next Monday for the purpose
of continuing the examination into this
horrible tragedy. Suspicion seemed not
to be directed especially to any one, but
we learn that it was the opinion of DR.
Scott that the author of this murder was
the same cold blooded human butcher
who murdered Joseph Lilieuthal in 9
somewhat similar scientific manner last
| Spring.

treaty has, therefore, been concluded with
the King of Denmark for the cessien Of those
islands, and will be submitted to the enate
for consideration.
D .,.,u
It will hardly be necessary to call the at.
tention of Congress to the subject o. proyid-
ing for the payment to Russia of the sum
stipulated in the treaty fer the cession OF
Alaska. Possession having been formally
delivered to our commissioner, the territory
remains for the present in care of a military
force, awaiting such civil organization as shall
be directed by Congress.
THE RIGHT OF RxrATRrATIoE.
The annexation of many small German
States to Prussia, and the reorganization of
that country under new and liberal con-
stituticn have induced me to renew the effort
to obtain just and prompt settlement of the
long-vexed question concerning the claims of
foreign States for military service from their
subjects naturslized in the United States.
In connection with this subject, the atten-
tion of Congress is respectfully called to sin.
guiar and embarrassing conflict oflaws. The
Executive Department of this Governments
has hitherto uniformly held, as 1t now holds
that naturalization, in conformity with the
Constitution and laws of the United States.
absolyes the recipient from his native alle-
glance. The courts of Great Brit ain hold
that allegiance to the British Crown is indie
feasible, and is not absolved by our laws of
naturalization. British judges cite courts
and law authorities of the United States in
support Of that theory against the position
held by the Executive autho rity of the Uni
ted States. This conflict perplexes the pub
lie mind concerning the rights of natural
lied citizens, and impairs the national author
ity abroad. called attention to this sub
ject in my last annual message, and now
again respectfully appeal to Congress to de-
clare the national will unmistakably upon
this important question.
THE SLAVE TRADE.
E The abuse of our laws by the clandestine
prosecution Of the African slave. trade from
American ports or byfAmerican citizens has
altogether ceased, and, under existing cir
cumstances, no apprehensions of its renewal
in this part Of the world are entertained
Under these circumstances It becomes .
question whether we shall not propose to
Her Majesty's Government suspension err
discontinuanee of the stipulstions for main
tanning naval force for the suppression of
that trade.

How to Cure Hams.

The hams of Maryland and Virginia
have for long time enjoyed high rep
utation. Premiums for hams were award
ed at late meeting Of the Maryland Ag-
ricultural Society, Those who had op-
portunities of examining the hams, report,
says the Anerican Farmer, that they were
Of excellent quality. The following is
the recipe after which those we're packed
down which received the first premium:
aFor one hundred pounds Of pork take
eight pounds of pulyerized alum, two
ounces of saltpetre. two pounds brown
sugar, one and Lalf ounces Of potash,
and four gallons Of water. Mix the above
ingredients and pour them upon the meat,
after it has lain about two days 10 the
tub. Let the hams lie abeut six weeks
in the pickle, aud let them dry of few
days before smoking them. / generally
rub the meat with fne salt when pack
it down. The meat should be quite cold
before it is packed in the tubs" !"

POSTAL AFFAIRS.

The report of the Postmaster General shows
the business of the Post Office Department
and the condition of the postal service in a
very favorable light. and the attention of
Congress is called to its practical recon-
mendations The receipts of the Depart
ment for the year ending June 80, 1867, in
cluding all special appropriations for sea and
land service aid for free mail matter, were
SIS, ,97s,693. The expe nditures for all pur-
poses were 19,235,4SS, leaving an expended
balance in favor of the Department of 743,-
2l0, which can be applied towards the ex-
penses of the Department for the current
year. The increase of postal revenue, inde-
pendent of specific appropriations for the
year of 1867, over that of 1865, was $685.
O40. The increase of revenue for the sale of
stamps and stamped envelopes was $7sS, ,404.
The increase of expenditures for 1867 over
those of the previous year was owing chiefly
to the extension of the land and ocean mail
service. During the past year new postal
inventions have been ratified snd exchanged
with the United Kingdoms of Great Britain
and Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Swift
zerland, the North German Union, Italy, and
the Colonial Government at Hong Kong, re-
ducing very largely the rates Of ocean and
land postages to and from and within those
countries.

Greenbacks Not TaxabIe--Imp0r-
tant Decision by Judge Sf0rer.

Judge Storer. Of the Superior Court Of
Hamilton County, delivered an opinion
on the 25th ult., in which he held that
gfeenbacks, under the statute, are not
taxable by iho State and Municipal su-
thoritiss. The opinion was elected un-
der the following circumstances: FARAN
& McLrAN fled . petition in the Superb
or Gaurt, to restraia the Treasurer, MILES
GREEswooD, from collecting taxes on
$50, 900 in gYeenbacksl Mr. ScARBoR-
OUCH, counsel for the defendant fled :
general demurrerto the petition. This
demurrer was ovsrruled by the Court, and
10 deciding thus, Judge SToRER referred
to the acts Of Congress expressly exempt
ing various forms Of GoVernment indebt-
edness, among ~hich we're the notes
known as greenbaoks, from taxation.
With the policy Of this law, the Judge
said, he had nothing to do, but the statute
was explicit, and no other decision could
be reached. IF there was any reasonable
doubt any thing to which be could refer
in the laws passed. BY Congress with re-;
gard to these issues. he would decide dis-
ferently.
Now notwithstanding the Law, and the
decision Of his Honor are peouniarily in
our favor, We unhesitatingl, pronounce
the laws which make this distinction in
favor of gresnbacks and United States
bonds all wrong, and they should be re-
pealed as speedily as possible. 1t was
not with the object Of evading the pay
ment of taxes thst the Enquirer Comps-
ny brought this action. They wanted to
place the facts before the country in the
shape of decision by the Courts. We
intend to run against this odious class
Legislation until not only greenbacks are
taxed but until every other fern Of Gov :
ernment promise to pay" shall bear its
equal ,portisn of the public expense
