THE Tammany Platform declares that
the Reconstruction acts, under which all
but three of the seceeded States have
been restored, were ",isuapation, a1acon-
stitutiondl, revolutionary and Uoid, "and
Blair, whose exposition and views have
been accepted as the doctrine of the
party, asserts that it will be the duty of
"the President electe d by the Democrats
to declare these acts null and uoid, and
compel the army to undo them. " and
disperse the Southern State Governments
s0ith force. That this is the doctrine of
the party we have the authority of the
Pittsburgh Post for saying, and from
whose columns we quote as follows:
General Blair's doctrine on this SUBJ
Ject is the doctrine of the Democratic
party. Hehas expressed it forcibly; but
others have advocated the same thing,
and it is in accordance with true wisdom
and sound policy.
1t would be as reasonable to dispute
that Seymour and Blair are the Demo-
cratic nominee as to question the revo-
lutionary purpose of the party; and to
question what will bethe action of thous-
ands of concientious Democrats wonld |
be to impeach their sanity.

EX-GOVERNOR SEYMOUR was in Mil
waukee when news came of the capture
of Fort Donelson by Gen. Grant. A cor
respondent says: The people of that city
were soon marshaled in vast procession
in the estreets-men, women and children
the entire town en- D,dSse, in carriages,
in wagons, on horseback, and afoot,
moving with torches, fireworks ard
bands of music, along the principal ave-
nues of the city. The assemblage at last
halted before the Newhall, and "Sey-
mour! SeymourW was the cry. No Sey-
mour appeared. At last committee,
appointed for the purpose, found him at
his room about retiring, and with great
difficulty brought him to the balcony
For about five minutes, not more L be-
lieve, Gov. Seymour felt inspired by the
occasion to address those assembled
thousands of enthusiastic men and wom-
en-. But what speech for such an
hour! So heartless and cod were his
words they seemed to freeze as they fell.
Each sentence was like water upon
flame. Not an expression of thankful
ness for the nations prospect of deliver
ance, not a word of congratulation for
great victory, not syllable of praise for
our "brave boys i'm blue" not breath
of hope for successful sequel to the war;
1t was the general remark among his
hearers, after he had finished, that what |
he had said could have been uttered as |
and as earnestly by Jeffer- |
son Davis himself upon the same occa-
sion. .. .I....

AN ALLIGATOR SWALLOWS 4 NEGRo--HE
IS CAPTURED.-The Norfolk Journal of yes
terday has the following bit of exciting
news:
"On Wednesday last two men, who were
driving carts on the road running along the
bank of the Albemarle and Chesapeake
canal near Coinjock bridge, observed some
thing strange in the water below them.
The mud was stirred up, and q heavy
splashing kept going, so that the men did
not know at first what it was that made all
the disturbance. At last, after they had
thrown some stones in where they per-
ceived the creature, an immense alligator
came to the surface and looked fercely at
the disturbers of his gambols. The men
having guns with bird-shot along, com
menced firing OF him, but finding that the
shot had no effect, they repaired to the
store at the bridge, obtained achievements
and heavier ammunition, and returned to
the attack. Having then opened on him
with old Confederate muskets, the alligator
was compelled to beat a retreat, which he
! did, with large crowd aftor him, shouting
and firing. At turn in the canal he ran
among a crowd Of negro boys who were
swimming, and notwithstanding the heat of
the pursuit, he took time to lay hold of one
of them, which he managed to swallow as
he continued his retreat. After q short
distance more he was finally brought to
with ball through one Of his eyes, and
his skin now graces the walls of his cap
tors house, in Gurrituck county. 1t is sell

THE LOCUST STING.-We have already
made mention of several cases of persons
being poisoned by the sting Of the locust
Some scientific men have stated through the
public press that the insect could not sting
from the fact that they had no singer
while others asserted that they did sting
and that the sting was very dangerous
The last case is recorded in the Columbus
(Ipd.) Bulletin of Thursday last, and is as
follows:
"0n Monday morning young daughter
of Mr.. Dickey, an employee in r. M. Jack
sons carriage shop, was stung by locust
in the arm and leg. Inflammation imme-
diately set in, but the arm and leg were i'm
mediately corded, and covered with fresh
mud. DR.. Grove was then sent for, who
administered medicines internally, and the
child was saved. On Wednesday morning,
we are informed, locust egg vas taken
from each of the wounds.
"There now remains no doubt in our
minds, nor in the minds OF our physicians,
but that the locust sting is very rapid and
dangerous poison, which, if inflicted near
the yitals, must prove fatal. Our children,
therefore, must be taught to beware Of them,
and every precaution taken to guard against
the danger, which is made imminent by
the millions Of locusts swarming all around
u.s."

Israelites are constantly subjected to the
charge that they do not consider themselves
permanent citizens of the country where
they reside, but that they are awaiting the
coming of temporal Messiah, who will
establish the nation in Palestine. This
charge was denied by Rabbi Lilienthal at
the recent laying of the cornerstone of q
house Of worship for Israelites at Cincin-
natl. DR.. Lilienthal said: America is
our Palestine here is our Zion and Jeru-
salem Washington and the .signers of the
glorious Declaration of independence, of

ness, are our Messiah and the time when
their doctrines will be recognized and car

WHISKY, TOBACCO, AND BANK TAX BILL.
Washinqton, July 3.-The House whiskey,
tobacco, and bank tax bill was to-day re-
ported from the Senate Committee on FL
nance with numerous amendments. The
sections relating to Lnnks and bankers are
stricken out. No changes are proposed in
the taxes on whiskey and tobacco. The time
for taking spirits from the bonded ware
houses is extended from six to twelve
months. The House provision for the ex-
portation of alcohol and rum is stricken out
and new section substituted, requiring
the payment of the drawback at the time of
the shipment, after clearance. The bond
is to be retained until it is shown that the
alcohol or rum has actually arrived at the
place of destination, the certificate of the
cousul being required for that purpose.
The license taxes on wholesale dealers and
retailers are stricken out, thus leaving
in force the provisions Of existing laws.
The nse of bond, warehouses at the man
ufactories of tobacco is not required bu'
tobacco cannot be removed from the place
of manufacture until the tax is paid. 1t ls
also provided that it shall be removed al
once from the export warehouse to which
it is first sent. According to the House
bill, tobacco may be sent from the manu-
facturer to an export warehouse only to be
exported, but the Senate amendment pro
yides that if the manufacturer does not
choose to export it he can withdraw it for q
home market. Another amendment changes
the number of inspectors to twenty, and
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue is
to designate their territorial districts. The
House bill provides for sixty inspectors, OF
one for each judicial district. The Senate
committee provides for fifty special agents
to be employed during the pleasure of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY OF / FRENCE
COUNT, WHO COUNTS HIS RICHES BY MIL.
LIONs.--There has been one emotion in
Paris during the last few days, created by
the sudden reappearance in the world OF
Paris Of the Vicomte de -, one Of the
qnondam favorites, who had left the city in
the greatest condemnation and disgrace
some seven years ago, and who returns
person, to resume the place among his
friends which not they but he declared he
had forfeited by his own imprulence and
folly.
BY the kindness of relative he was en-
abled to steam away for New Grenada,
where he had been able to obtain a situa-
ton rs clerk to the engineer just then
employed in the construction Of n line OF
railway through the country. In this posi-
ton he fulfilled his small duties with the
utmost perfect exactitude for more than
three years, and at the end Of that time,
the railway being terminated, was ordered
to another duty in O different part of the
country. The way was over the steepest
mountains. He had already got through the
greater part of his journey, when one day,
overcome by the heat, he lay himself down
by the side Of running stream, which
refreshed him both by sight and sound,
and fell to musing on the hard fate which
had torn him from his relatives and friends
to wander thus lonely exile in foreign
land, when his attention was suddenly
called from these high flights to circum-
stance which was taking place Immediately
beneath his eye, and which had escaped
him while gazing on the heavens.
The phenomenon was this close to where
his head was lying amid the grass and flow
ers the running water formed an eddy,
which, after turning in tiny whirlpool,
proceeded to fall into O. narrow aperture,
whence, on examination, he beheld no issue.
His curiosity was aroused, and he raised
himself up to gaze down into the hollow, the
sides Of which he found to consist of two
blocks of stone so worn down and polished
by the continued rush of the current that
he could see to the very bottom. The sight
he there beheld made him stagger and fall
back almost without consciousness upon
the grass. In that single hollow had filtered
for centuries the gold sand carried by the
current from the bed of the river some miles
higher up, where gold-washing has been
carried on for many generations.
There lay before him one glittering Pile
of the precious ore, cleaning ut the bottom
Of the limpid water, and demanding only a
strong hand and resolute will, both of
which he possessed, to draw it to the sur
face. eedless to say, he retraced his
steps he place whence he had departed,
and sooa. ,turned, bringing back men and
machinery, and as he says, when telling the
wondrous tale, i" You may believe me if you
choose, but in less than three weeks had
become the richest man in the whole repub-
lie," What bears out the assertion il the
