TIE COTToN TAX.-The House of Repre-
sentatives refuses to concur in the amendment of
the Senate taking the tax on cotton from the crop
of 1868, and then to be renewed upon future
crops. The House bill proposes to abolish it en-
tirely, beginning with the next crop in which the
Senate did not agree, but limited the operation
of the bill to one year. There the matter rests
at present.

Az EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY OF ROBBERS.

An EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY OF RoBBERs.
An Indiana correspondent of Cincinnati
paper gives the following account Of noto-
rious family Of robbers who have troubled the
vicinity of Seymour, Ind, for the past few
years. The father is William Reno, who was
regarded as an honest man until recently,
although he was very eccentric, and epphca-
tions had been made to have guardian placed
over him, on the ground of insanity. His wife
obtained divorce from him when the applca-
ton for a guar dian was refused, and since that
time the boys have lived some Of the time with
her, and some of the time with the father.
The account says:
and Bill. Or these Clint is considered strictly
honest and honorable; Frank and John are
known to be safe blowers, and Sim and Bill,
though nothing is positively known against
them, are looked upon with suspicion. The
first robbery OF note they committed was
ssblowing' safe at Azalia, Bartholomew Coun-
ty, Indiana, by which they got $40 900. Frank
when cousin Of his turned States evidence
against him. He is now under bonds to ap-
pear before the United States Court at India
napoIis for robbing the postofice in Jones'
vile, in the same county, but is in no danger
of conviction, as the principle witness against
him, Grant Wilson, was assass mated short
distance from his own house, In Jackson Coun-
ty, about three years ago.
Frank, while supposed to be in Canada,
would occasionally visit the States and rob
some safe that was left unguarded; and 30 e1-
pert was he that he was never detected. In
these operations John was supposed to have
hand. There were numerous robberies COM
mitted in and near Seymour in 1864-'5, in
which it s supposed John bore o conspicuous
part, though there were no arrests, as the peo-
ple seemed to be afraid of the destruction of
their property if anything was done to ferret
out the thieves.
In October, 1866, the express car was rob-
bed near Seymour OF about $4,000, though
So, 900, in safe, was recovered. John Reno
and Frank Sparks were arrested as prin ,ipals,
and Sim Reno as an eccompice, but were soon
bailed out. About five or six months after
ward Frank and John robbed the safe of one
of the counties in the northern part Of the State
and secured about $4,000. Frank was tried
and acquitted on the charge, but his lawyer
said, after the trial, that he and John we're
guilty. Last December John robbed o safe in
Gallatin, No., and is now serving ont SEN
tence Of twenty-five years in the Missouri peni-
tentiary for his crime. The citizens Of Sey-
mour believe that Frank Reno was at the head
of the late robbery of the Express Company's
car on the Jefersonville Railroad near Say
mour, when the robbers obtained 500, 900.

An English Opinion OF President john
SON.

The Lordon Standard, aconservatiye paper
of position and influence, pays high COM
pliment to Mr.. johnson in speaking OF his re-
cent amnesty proclamation. Itseys:
Saturday last, tine 4th Of July, was the ami
versary Of the Declaration Of Independence OF
the United States-the great American ma
tionaj holiday which, among our Transatlantic
knsmen, holds the same position IN the
Calendar that Christmas fills In Europe, as the
chief and most universally observed OF public
festivals European States, not having ac-
quired their liberties by war, have no such
national birthdays to celebrate; but 70 the ;as ma,
have acquired their existence as nations
by revolution which has severed the ties Of
colonial dependence, have adopted the custom
Of the eldest and greatest among them, and
make the anniversary Of their assumption OF
political sovereignty great public holdsy; q
species Of perpetual monument OF the greatest
event in their history. Such q day is fitly cell
customary to celebrate the coronation Of king
or royal marriage, or any other festival In the
family of the sovereign, by political amnesty.
Last Saturday was the third Of these great
American festivals since the termination OF the
civil war. 1t is also the last that Will take
place during the presidency Of Andrew john
son. It is natural and seemly, therefore, that

an anxious desire to efface as far as possible
the bitter memories and antagonistic feel
ines left by the war, and to signalize hi.
tenure Of Office by complete restoration OF
the Union, should have chosen the Fourth OF
July, 1868, for the proclamation Of an I'll but
untverssi amnesty. Such an act OF pardon
comes with peculiar grace from the present
Chief Magistrate of the United States. Though
he had been denounced with interruptions yio-
lence by his opponents as a srebel sympathiz-
err President johnson has given stronger
proofs Of his profound attachment and perfect
loyalty to the Union than perhaps any other
man in the country. He was almost the only
Southern senator who, when his native State
seeded, adhered to the Federal Government.
BE was, without exception, the most eminent
of those Southerners who took this course; and
he suffered more severely than any one else in
q similar position for conduct which, in the
opinion Of his Southern countrymen, was trea-
son to bis people; in that Of the victorious par.
ty, LOYALTY to the national flag. He alone. OF
leading statesmen, had right to be personally
ylndlctive; he, above all, has shown himself
generous and forgiying. 1t is his right to
issue the proclamation Of pardon, both as the
most prominent confessor Of Unionism during
the war, and as the most prominent sufferer,
after the war, in the cause Of constitutional
liberty and political mercy.
