NEGRO INSTRUMENTATION AT Norwood
M1NEs.-On Saturday last between the
hours of IL and II o'clock negro in the
employ of the Norwood Coal Company, of
Powhatan county, Va, under the manage
ment of General Fl. Heth, threatened
the life of the clerk of the company, Mr..
E. 81. Chamberlayne, Jr. The circum-
stances Of the case are these 1t seems
that this negro disputed his accounts, as
far as his wages were concerned, and
charged the clerk with a wilful and delibe-
rate attempt to deprive him of his daily
labor by appropriating the same to his
own purposes. The negro was taken into
the office of the company and every effort
made on the part of Captain Miles G. Sell
den, Jr., and Mr.. Chamberlayne, to ex-
plain his accounts, endeavoring to show
that his accounts had been up to that mo-
ment properly kept.
The negro seemed to have other motives
than these, as he Immediately left the
Office, stood in front of the clerks window,
and commenced his threats, in language
which we will not repeat here.
Mr.. Chamberlayne took but little notice
of the affair during the harangue which
this negro made for three or four hours,
and about 81 O'Clock P. NJ. he came
around to the clerks door and demanded
entrance, saying that "Mr. c. should come
out and kill him, and let both 60 to h-n
together"
The motives on the part of the negro
were purely incendiary, and his object
was to create mob---a crowd OF negroes
hanging around during the time. .a
General Heth and Mr.. Chamberlayne
arrived in the city on Monday, and placed
the matter in the hands Of General Scho-
field, who commended the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Chamberlayne, and has taken
the proper steps in the matter.

The New Tax Bill.

CHICAGO. July lS.-The new Tax Bill though not
so long as the former bills OF this kind. is very
leng by. IL is difficult to give q satisfactory absrct
Of iis provisions in compass brief enough for the
ordinary form of newspaper dispatches. 1t
aud coal oil. and sets aside the old provisions in
existing laws on these articles. The rate on whis-
key is fixed at 80 cents. Wholesale dealers pay
SlOO on animal sales of not over $4,000 one dol
lar per 500 ON sales above that limit. or one per
cent on all sales. Retail dealers pay S25. Taxes
are TO be collected u. the disiillery on whiskey.
and rum may be exported. allowing n drawback OF
SO cents per gsllUn-and not to be due till thirty
days after the sailing Of the vessel. Distillcrs pay
81 per day while running. and 50 while work l.
suspended. There IL to be one or more reports
for each distillery. to be paid for by Government.
Whiskey now in bond pays 81 per barrel special
tax. and must be withdrawn within nine months.
Tobacco pays 81 cents on chewing, and l6 cents on
smoking. \ proposition TO make warehouses for
fOrcigu tobacco was not agreed to. Manufactured
tobacco can be Withdrawn in bond but twice.
SNUG pays 81 cents cigars 81 per ten thousand :;
cigarettes 81 so when not weighing over three
pounds per thousand, and SIS when exceeding this
weight.
The bill does not increase the bank taxes. as the
Senate almost unanimously refused any change
whatever. The House was obliged To abandon the
proposition or lose the bill.
Coal oil and its manufactures are hereafter
exempt from tax, but distillcrs and refners must
pay the same tax rs other manufacturers. by the
act Of last March. The meter system is again intro
duced.

SINGULAR PRAYER MEETING.-A late number of
the Glasgow Herald mentions u prayer meeting in
that city which is certainly novel and unique.
y Sunday School teacher, on his way to the Wynd
Church, was accosted by q lad who informed him
that II number of young folks in his lane wished
10 hold II prayer meeting, and to be led in the
right way. lie asked the teacher to go with him,
and seemed So earnest, that lie consented. He
found three lads III the room. One of them read
the third chapter of John, commented ON n part
of it, not badly. Then made u scrambling sort of
prayer, during which the other boys seemed to be
making fun. The teacher started for the door,
but was stopped by the leader, who appealed to
him in behalf of n poor widow, for whom this
piOus little band were getting up "A subscription.
The teacher gave all the change he had, and
again tried TO leave. But his devout friends were
not satisfied with his contribution. 50 they took
iorcible possession of his person, and when, at
last, he got away, he had nothing on but panta-
looms and shirt. The police, on learning the
facts, put the whole of this extraordinary .spray-
ing circle into close quarters.

Men Of Our Times.

In this new work by Harriet Beecher Stowe,
in her chapter on General Grant, she says:
Among his qualities are some plain and
commonplace virtues. Such is his unfiinching
adherence TO what he thinks right. Such Is his
unconditional public and private honesty. This
was well exemplifed in the solicitOus care with
which he kept the Gotten business outside OF his
command in the West az long as possible, from a
wellfcunded dislike TO its immense corrupting pow
err. When az last he had 10 consent to the progress
of the trade in territory taken from the rebles,
he specified that it should be kept in the hands
of honest, trusty and undOubted Union men. lie
was asked TO name such men. lie replied, 1
will do no such thing. II l did, 1t would appear
in less than a week that l was a partner OF every
one Ofthese trading under my authority Anoth-
er such virtue Is. that scrupulous official econo-
my by which General Grant has already saved
our Ovcrtaxed country five million dollars II year,
by cutting down the expenses OF the War Depart
ment.
He also possesses other very noticeable qualifi-
cations of a more special sort, and 50 much rarer
among men, that they must be named even IN the
shortest inventory of General Grants character.
Two of these are, the broadest and most gene
rOus justice in attFibuting the credit of doing
well where it belongs, and remarkable wisdom
in Judging and selecting men. OF the former,
his letter to Sherman at the time of his appointment
as Lieutenant General, is a good instance. .
OF his wisdom in selecting and trusting his as
sisiants and subordinates, the list OF their names
Il sufhcIent evidence. The proved possession OF
this one faculty goes very far 10 prove that it's
