MurreERffes.

Sixteen citizens of De Soto county,
Mississippi, have been arrested on the
charge of belonging to a gang of horse
thieves. 1t is said they are part of a
horse thief organization in North Mis-
sissippi, West Tennessee and Southern
Illinois, with regular posts and patrols
from Cairo to Grenada.
The Memphis Avalanche gives an ac-
count of the final breaking up of this
extensive band of desperadoes, which in
point Of numbers and daring rivaled the
Murrellites who were terror to the peo-
pie of the South forty or fifty years ago.
They were regularly offcered and dis
ciplined, being under the command OF
fellow named Cage Philpot, a man OF low
and brutal instincts. Their headquar-
ters were in North Mississippi, from
whence they extended their operations
as far as Southern Illinois, as represent
ed by the above paragraph, extracted
from one of our exchanges. Philpot,

mand Walt. Winn, Bob Jackson and
his son Dick, Marion Philpot, Sebe Phil
pot, Bill Henshaw, Gus Winn, VIII

sixteen, are. now in the hands of the au-
thorities and many N%ers, who have
been considered respectable and inau-
entail citizens are implicated. They were
betrayed by a young man named ID.

who joined them through the advice OF
the authorities, to whom he had reveal
ed the fact of the existence of the band
They had runners all over the States
where they dcpredated, and kept up lines
of communication.

Grant expects to poll a larger vote
than he otherwise would don account
of his prescription Of the Jews: This
measure was SO acceptable to the Repub--
lican party that resolutions were rejected
by.a Republican Congress In which
Grants order against the Jews was cen
sured.
CoIfax a few years ago wassa leader in
party, (born in New England having
for its chief aim and end the prescription
of Roman Catholics.
Religious intolerance came across the
Atlantic with the Puritans and has been
transmitted from sire to son from that
day to the present. The Religious Press
of the North are continually attempting
to excite prejudice against Catholicism,
and there is little doubt in the minds OF
observant persons, that large element
of the Radical party in New England
look forward to the day when that rcli-
gion will be forcibly extirpated from the
| United States.
Grant and Colfax are appropriate stan
dard bearers of party prompted by
such sentiments. Let them transcribe
upon their banners what is already SO
giaring on their record-RELIGIoUs In
TOLERANCE.

Yankee Trick Played Upon a
Yankee.

A Mr.. Foster (RadicaD, of the North
Carolina House of Representatives, allu-
ding to a silver-spoon report, said such a
charge might possibly be made against
Beast Butler with truth, but not: against
him. He then attacked Mr.. Sinclair,
who replied as follows:
s'Mr. Sinclair said it would be unpar-
liamentary to call the member liar, but
nevertheless the assertion that he acds q
thar was true, and he did not think his
marital relations were matters to be dis
cussed in this HOUSE. The member from
Bladen (Foster), 10 wished to incorpo-
rate in the bill provision for embalming
bodies, was greatly interestedin that bu-
siness, for in the pursuit of that occupa-
ton at Wilmington, just after the war,
he received an order from a Northern
gentleman to disinter his son, who had
died in that place from the effect of the
amputation of his left leg. Foster, be-
ing unable to find the identical body,
and disliking to lose his profit, selected
body and cut of one of IT'S legs. When
the body reached home, 10 and behold
it was found out that the right leg had
been cut off by mistake. The gentleman
of course discovered the fraud, returned
the body, an6- the carpet-bag resurrec-
tionists was left minus his commission.

What Papers Mast be stamped

So intricate and perpleung are the
laws relating to internal revenues that
few can rocolleet what papers mast be
stamped, and there is often different
opinion among those who claim to be
learned in this kind of law. It is, we
believe, pretty certain that stamps must
-be used as follows:
All notes and evidences Of debt five
cents on each huudfed dollars, if under
one hundred dollars, five cents, if over
one hundred dollars, five cents On each
additional hundred dollars or part there
Of All receipts for any amount with
out limit over twenty dollars, two cents ];
if twenty dollars or under, nothing. An
deeds and deeds of trust, fifty cents on
zach Ave agPdrs5 8. a9iaEs 2. IL EIse q the
ed when 4 deed in trust IS fully stamp
cd, the note secured must not be; but
they should be indorsed to show the
reason why. Mortgage bonds need not
be stamped if stamps are affixed to the
mortgage. All apPraisements, estates,
or estrays, five cents on each sheet Of pa
per. Afidavits of every description are
exempt from stamp duties. Acknowl-
edgments of deeds, etc, also exempt.
Contracts and agreements, five cents, ex-
cept for rents, when for rent, fifty cents
for each seven hundred dollars of rent
or less, if over three hundred dollars !;
fifty cents fer two hundred dollars or
over three hundred. Any person inter
cd can afix and cancel stamps.

Why Don't HE?-It has been an
nounced in some of the Washington and
New York journals that the President
has ordered the Secretary of War to with
draw all the military from those States
which have representatives in Congress.
This seems very probable in view of the
obvious justice to these States, and of its
/ perfect accord with the Presidential pol
icy, as exposed in his many communica-
tons to Congress. Yet the correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial spoils
the story by'stating that no such order
has been issued, nor haseany direction
been given to issue it.
A REGULAR WAR-It would appear
from the newspaper accounts of the late
negro riot in Texas, that the negroes
there have recently declared war against
the whites, and that the latter Gncluding
the military have conceded to them the
rights of beligerents, and granted to them
the privileges and immunities usually
accorded to regular forces in the field
under national auspices. Pickets have
been established, and tags Of truce have
passed between the contestants, in order
that they might Ju1y their dead. This
most singular state of affairs has caused
the widest excitement to exist through
out the State, and one of the attendant
rumors Generally spread) was to the ef-
feet that the "Constitutional" Conven-
ton intended to disarm all the whites,
arm all the negroes, and thus force the
ratification of the Constitution about to
be manufactured, and establish negro
supremacy upon the basis of both law
and brute force. 1t is a terrible state of
things, truly. What ,4<Fbe the ultimate
result of this marvellous condition of
affairs no one can foresee.

profound and important truths. With
rare analytic power, he is fine losician:
and Is gifted with an easy flow OF Ian.

sparkling wit, which constitute him .
natural orator.
Withal, he is one of the best natured
most agreeable, and most courteous geo2
ne nerds-Drr-t The Opportunity to prove
to the District that they have not been
mistaken in him. We have no doubt OF
his eminent success.
His contest against his talented and
popular opponent (his principal coupeti-
tor,) was laborious and unremitting, and
IN fact his success over Major Mos put
to the test all his industry, versatility of
talent, and greater acquaintance with the
district
Their contest gas one of fiendly !
rivalry, which ~ Terminated as it be-
gun, with the most cordial kindless and I
between the contestants.
This feeling was beautifully Illustrated
by Maj. Moss when, sitting IN tie Herald
othce, our dispatches and lettTs inform
ID him Of the fact that his opponent was
elected. With generous md impulse
If himself, he declared his qualification

Such men belong not to themselves,
