BRICK PoMERoY does not like AN
DREW JOHNSON. In his paper on the
9th ult., he speaks of the Executive
of the Nation in the following man
ner:
1t is pretty we'll known, we think,
what opinion we entertain of Andrew
johnson. We have never seen any,
thing in him, as a public man, in any
part of his history, particularly to
admire. His career, for most of the
time during the past seven years, has
been infamous. And his position to-
day commends neither cur respect
nor our confidence.
Andrew johnson has neither hon
esty nor straightfOrwardness in his
action. He is a man of low nature,
coarse grain, great selfshness, and
bOundless ambition.
Naturally a ruf6an and a tyrant,
he is a great moral coward.
Intensely anxious to advance his
personal interests and attain the ends
of his political ambition, his very
excess of selfshness warps his judg-
ment and causes him to blunder in
every step he takes, and miss the
mark at which he aims.

ALABAMA ELEcTION.-The Mobile
National says that the Alabama Con-

siderable majority-much less by 90
000-but it has probably received an
actual majority of the votes registered
in the counties where an election was
held Returns from sixty counties
foot up 79,9O9 votes for the Constitu-
ton, and 400 againstit, making a total
vote on the question of 80,318.

REVENUE TAx.-Bythe act of Con-
gress approved March 2, 1867, it is
made the duty Of any person, liable
to annual tax, on or before the LIST
day If March in each year to make a
return to the Assistant Asses, or of
his income, and Of all carriages and
gold watches owned. Ten days from
March is given for such returns, and
after that date a penalty Of fifty per
cent. is added, from which there can
be no appeal. 1t is made the duty of
the taxpayer to seek the Assistant
Assessor, and not wait until this
officer calls on him. Many persons
claim that they are not required to re-
port until they are called upon by the
Assistant Assessor, and blanks given
them. This is a mistake, as the law
requires every person to make re-
turn.
