Of estate Of deceased persons, for the

The law provides that, whore the
whole amount of the personal prop
erty Of an estate payable to lcgatce,
or distributes, exceeds one thousand
dollars, the same is subject to dut,
or tax without regard TO the amount
Of each legacy or share. Where th'
whole amount does not exceed on'

Is also made the duty Of the execu.

The revenue law also provides fol

heirs at law, not Of the administrato
or executor, to make return Of th

parties interested, to look after thei

A few hundred white men were
cajoled into voting for a Convention
by the efforts Of one or two papers
in this State in favor of the plan Of
Congressional reconstruction. A half
dozen thousand were induced to vote,
although negatively, by the foolish
course Of local politicians who wanted
to be great in their several counties.
BY such endeavors, the Convention
has been carried bya clear majority
Of seventy-fve votes in a registered
list Of nearly 10000. In the face
Of these facts, would Il not be as
modest and becoming IL these recon-
structiou papers and politicians ceased
harping upon the assertion that their
course has been vindicated by results,
and that the people had the power to
elect q Conservative Convention
Had all the whites voted, not one
third of the Convention could have
been otherwise than Radical under
Gcneral Ord's unjust gcrymander.
The result proves the foresight and
wisdom Of those who oppose recon-
struction on the Congressional plan,
and who urged the people, as tn,
only way Of defeating the Conven.
tion, to refrain from voting at all. !,
is certainly singular that presses and
politicians which have been advocat.
ing the voting either for q Conven.
tion or for candidates--now that theil
policy has succeeded by a miserable
majority in . registered list o
l4o,00o-sbould cry out that III,
wisdom Of that policy has been sus
tanned and vindicated.

'Tis night and on the cold ground I'm lying,
Gazing up on The myriads Of stars In the sky,
While moonbeams around me are quietly play

/ And zephyrs steal sof.ly and silently by,
But my heart scars away to a far distant scene,
Meath the same moon and stars that are
besming above;
And rivers aud rocks and bills intervene,
But they hide not the form Of the dear ono
love.
On the banks Of the river the cannon are
booming;
The sound breaks the calm and 10 borne 70

While columns Of smoke ever skywsrd arc

And these tell Of blood and bitterness near.
But DER ev'n the echoes that are borne on the

Ny heart hears gentle, soul-soothing voice.
'Tis thine, my beloved, ever potent to please
To dispel every sorrow and make me rejoice.

The Main Question.

The Springfield, Ill.,, Republican
unites with the Pittsburg Post in in
forming those interested that the ne
gro and Southern question will not
be the foremost one in the Prcsiden-
tial election. II says:
"The Pod is right. The grea,
question which must be met and de-
cided in the next Presidential cam
paign will be the adjustment of the
National debt aud the reduction Of
the peoples taxes. There will be nc
reconstruction under radical rule.
The whites will never submit to ne
gro rule. All that is settled-thc
people are in possession Of all the
information they desire upon the ne
gro issues. What they want TO know
now-what they are fully resolved
upon, Is TO know what the Radicals
propose to do, and what the Demo
Gratis propose to do, TO relieve then
speedily Of debt, taxation, despo,ism
and tyranny. The Radicals vii
strive in vain to dodge the real, liv
ing issues Of tho day which the peo
fple are forcing upon them.D

The Conference Committee of both Houses on the
bill making appropriation for the purchase of Alaska
reached decision on that subject to-day. The Sen
ate Committee insisted very strongly on the ideas
which prevailed in that branch of Congress- but the
House members refused to abandon the positions
taken in the preamble, and, after prOtracted ses-
sion of several hours a mutual understanding was
agreed on in which the principles of the House pre-
amble were partially conceded. The Committee will
make their report tomorrow which VIII receive the
concurrence of both Houses without opposition.
The President signed the Tax bill to-day under
protest and it has now become a law. He objected
to the bill several grounds the principal of which
was the clause allowing supervisors to suspend col
lecOrs and assessors in their respective districts
He was of the opinion that this was too
great a power to invest in those officers
and considered that it should be entirely with the
Secretary of the Treasury the Commissioner of In
temal Revenue. II may be remarked that this OBJ
lection is not regarded very strong one. The Su-
pervisor is compelled to report immediately any sus-
pension be may make, to the Commissioner, and If
the grounds are insufficient his action will of course
be promptly reversed
The Merchants National Bank of Memphis, whose
failure was announced few days ago, has resumed
payment. The abstract of the statements of the Ma
