CONFLSCATION.
Important Opinion by Chief Justice
Chase.


Correspondence from Richmond (Va.) on
Cnief Justice Chase has just delivered an i'm
real estate under The act OF July 7, lS02-thas OF
Ssmple VS.. The United StaIes-before The Cir.
cut Court OF the United States In bnis city. It
was as fOlloWt;-
This case comes before as upon writ of
error to the District Court IoI tne District or
by seizure and libel OF information for the con-
demnation, under The act OF July ,, 1861, OF Ger.
in Elizs beth City county, within the district OF
Virginia. The seizure and libel were followed

Of notice according TO The ordinary course of
decIee OF eonnscs,ion or forSeitnre, sfter eT0 2o
animation OF witnesses, was made upon de-
tault, and the property was sold under writ
Two points were made In argument for the

Any person habitually eostive cannot be in
the enjoyment Of health. II not relieved COS
tiveness will result in confirmed cases of
Rheumatism, Piles, Inflammation of the
Bowels, Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, and
surrounding organs. When costiveness is
radically cured, all the machinery of the sys-
tenn moves in harmony. Marshall's Elixir
permanently cures costiveness, and so pre-
vents diseases more painful and dangerous.
Headache quickly yields to its curative
powers. Being entirely vegetable, it may be
safely taken by all persons at any time, with
perfect safety. Headache, besides being a
very painful complaint, is also weakening to
the nervous system, and may lead to palsy in
its various forms if not soon relieved. Mar
shall's Elixir 80 strengthens the nerves that
they perform their duties without pain or un-
easiness.
By supplying the stomach with the medici-
nal principle, the want OF which causes Dys-
pepsia this distressing and common disease is
quickly cured by its use. 1t not only supplies
this to the stomach, but imparts strength and
vigor to the whole digestive apparatus, so that
health, with cheerful spirits and ruddy ooun-
tensnce, is fully established. Read the fol-
lowing certifcate:-

CARPET BAG MENDAo1rY.-A writer In the
Delaware GGsette is displeased at what he calls
the "crusade against the whipping post" and
declares that the statements Of "eye witnesses"
are unexceptionable except In one respect
namely, that they lack truth(ulness. The lack
OF truthfulness is declared TO be somehow In
this fashior:-
"That among the victims las it characterls-
tcally styles them) was an old man over
seventy years, end boy OF twelve. this is
deliberate, pI pIemeditated falsehoOd. The seventy
year-old and.over man being under sixty years
of age ana the twelve year old boy a negro lad
OF sixteen. We are Informed from reliable
sources that the man in question is "a notorious
individual OF that spectes-just degree
higher In the social scale Than carpet -baggers-
faniliarly known as 'oummeIs,' and an incor-
1tgible thief who has wintered in New CASTLE
jail for the past ten years Tue negro was con-
victed o! larceny, and very properly punished"
The argument, then, In favor of the Delaware
civilizer is that The sevon,y yearsold hummer
was q hearty young man of sixty; and that the
twelve year old boy was not a boy at ali, but
negro lad. and instead of being of the tender
age of twelve he had arrived at the maturity OF
"sweet sixteen" We are to understand, then,
that Delaware does not apply the "car' 20 people
who are under sixteen or over sixty, but that
bstween these ages transgressors of ths law
may be subjected TO the civillzing Influences of
the "invaluable judicial weapon" OF tho DIa-
n ond State. We are reminded by this lame
apology Of the Delaware man of the case OF the
Indiana clergyman VINO beat his little boy to
death for not saying his prayers. The
reverend gentleman WAS accused of having
TIN ashed the child for two hours continuously.
He pleaded, in eXtenuation of the outrage, that
he did not thrash him for two hours, but only
for an hour and half The Delaware man
proposes to extend the blessings of his whip
ping-post and It's accessory furniture TO the
''impudent carpet-bag revilsrs OF the state and

revenue officers are OF no moment whatever,
and even when person receiv
ing an appointment has previously
enjoyed reputation for honesty,
as general rule he appears 10 regard his ap-
pointment as dispensation from all the rules
which have been binding upon his private
business. To sweep away the whole system,
with all its defects, should engage the early
attention Of Congress, and this can be accom-
plished in but one way-by the adoption of a
Civil Service system, such as prevails in the
nations of the Old World. Mr.. Jenokss, of
Rhode Island, has repeatedly urged Congress
to give some attention to this subject, as yet
with poor success. The bill providing for the
establishment Of a Civil Service which he in
troduced last winter has been printed, and
that Is about all that has been done with II.
We trust, however. that at the coming
session it will be brought to
the attention of the members of Congress in
such way that they will no longer be able
TO dodge the question, as they have done in
the past. But if Congress should be so dereliot
as to adjourn on the 4th of next March with
out listening to the imperative demand of the
country for Civil Service the people have
much to hope for from General Grants Ad-
ministration. So far he has persistently
snubbed the Office seekers, and If he should
continue to do SO we may yet be enabled to
reap all the practical benefits Of an honest and
effective Civil Service, even before 1t is regu-
larly established by law.

CAMDEN is rapidly increasing in wealth as
well as in population. A recent statement
presented to the City Councils shows the total
valuation of real estate to be IS, 433, 169, aud
of personal property, 81, sos, ,655. As the ratio
of assessment is quite low, these figures do not
represent more than one-half of the actual
value of property in the city. The amount Of
taxes raised for the present year is $lSS, ,74l.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-12-03
Tho City Finances.

TIE Pinsroe Committee of the City Councils
held meeting last night, at which they in
dulgsd in q rambling discussion which resulted
in fixing the tax rate for 1869 at 81 80, an In
crease Of forty cents on the rate for the pre-
cent year. At this rate for the property which
Is subject by Law to the full rate, 81, 97S, ,464
will be realized, falling short Of the estimates
submitted by the Controller fully s7S7, 263.
To meet this startling deficit, 1t is proposed to
authorize loan of 1910, 900 for the Water
Department, the argument being that the i'm
provements in this department were for the
benefit Of posterity, and that posterity should
therefore bear the greater share of the burden
Moreover, II was confidently predicted that
the whole amount would ultimately be re-
postsrity, as well as the present age, thus re-
lieved Of the burden-a prediction which, we
trust, has some prospect of fulflment.
But there has been heretofore one great
obstacle in the way of such loan, and that is
the circumstance of the Republican majority
in Councils falling short Of the two-third vots
required to authorize loan. When this
amount of $50, 900 was appropriated by COun-
ellis for the benefit of the Water Department,
it was expressly understood that the full
amount-as well as $685., 900 in addition for
League Island awards and the new City Ice
Boat, all for the benefit Of posterity, like the
improvements at Fairmount-would be sub
sequently raised by loans, the appropriation
bills containing q proviso to that effect. The
Democratic members made no objection, until
an attempt was made to saddle posterity with
the burdens which legitimately belong
to it; and then the Democracy, for the
sake of embarrassing the Republican party
and adding to our present burdens, refused to
vote for the loans which they were in honor
and common decency bound to support. AS
the Republican strength in Councils was not
increased at the late election, the only manner
in which the contemplated loan can be secured
is by legislative enactment permitting Coun.
ellis to borrow money by bare majority vote
This course lies open TO the grave objection
that loan authorized by mere majority
may not be so eagerly sought after as
one which has the sanction OF a
two-thirds vote. 1t is said that the Demo
cratic members of Select Council are willing
to vote for the water loan by itself, and hence
there is prospect of this action not being rem
dered necessary. Yetit may still be necessary to
secure legislative aid to authorize loans to
meet the outstanding warrants and the alleged
half million deficit in the funds required to
meet the January interest on the city debt.
