That Watch

MEssRs. EDITORS: -Several slight hints
of disapproval have appeared in the Con-
servative papers, touching the participa-
ton of Conservative Senators in the coz
pliments paid to the Lieut.. Governor, at
the close of the recent session. These
might be easily borne in silence, as we
felt sure that little reflection would sat-
isfy our friends that our action in that
matter proceeded from no other motive
than sense of the I'M udiciousness and
disagreeableness of being in q personal
snarl with those with whom we are COM
PEELED to hold oticial intercourse. Sdpi-
entibuS verbum sal.
But now we observe commendatory
notice of the matter in the Standard. The
praises of that sheet are too much for
good men to endure, and therefore word is
necessary, especially since that paper in
Inmates, by our action in this matter. we
had dismissed our bitter hatred of Radi-
Gals, and also takes occasion from this
text, to lecture the glorious ladies of North
Carolina for their proud and proper refu-
sal to accord social recognition to the men
of the Radical party.
We are willing that the Standard and
the Radicals should felicitate themselves
over condescension in treating membe
of their party with official and semi-otfcial
courtesy. It seems todelight them greatly.
The extraordinary fact that the Lieut..
Governor, with his peculiar hillary organs.
did continue in a good humor for six en-
tire weeks, We thought deserving of e.ctra-
ordinary recognition. If we could have
known that this unwonted damming up of
bile had only had the effect of making it
stdgeate, and that it was to break forth the
very next day in an address, in which we
were to be accused of an intention to "re-
store slavery" and the negroes melted to
burn down our houses, steal our crops and
cattle, and kill our children, we should,
perhaps, have felt less thankful
The ladies-Glod bless them-are right.
Let them persevere. It may do for us men
sometimes to exchange compliments under
fdqs of truce, with our bitter opponents
But let our noble aronaea forever scorn the
upholders of that party which seeks their
degradation, and which dares to prompt
the untutored race among us to deeds of
outrage and horror. Let our queens of the
social circle continue to ban them. 1t is a
more terrible ban than that of the Howard
amendment And let no mans disabilities
be removed until he comes over to the side
of deoency and virtue-even though he
may wear gold acatch.
Respectfully, A SENATOR

The Trade of New York with the South.
A few days ago the following paragraph
appeared in the Brooklyn Union, Radical
paper: ..-
1--WE are assured, on what seems very
good authority, that meeting Of the lead
ing dry goods firms of New York was held
yesterday afternoon, at which it was re-
solved that they would sell no more goods
to merchants in the Southern States: except
for cash, during the present season.
The New York Journal of Commerce, re-
ferring to the above, says: - --.
cit turns out now that the representa-
ton is wholly false. We have inquired
personally of GO the leading dry goods firms
of New York." and they declare that they
never heard of this meeting until this par
agraph was published, and that they pro-
pose to make no change whatever in rela-
ton to their custom in the Southern
States" -- --a-.- $3.50. 81 --

that where one party was clearly author

not SO authorized, the former will be

The New York Herald of this morning has an
editorial on Newspapers and Internal Revenue"
It states that it has been served with notice of
the tax it's business, and unless paid the usual
remedy would be enforced. It is not informed
nnder what law this attempt to tax the press is
made, and styles it forced and absurd construc-
ton of tho act by ignorant assessors. The whole
tenor of the Revenue laws in regard to the press
shows that Congress did not intend to tax news-
papers. The incomes from the newspaper bust
ness must pay tax the same other incomes,
but the business itself Is not taxed. 1t announces
IT'S intention to resist the construction put on the
law by the assessor, and believes that the press
generally will do the same.
Commissioner Rollins received dispatch from
New York last night informing him that war
rant had been issued against him. At late
hour this afternoon the warrant had not been
served.
Mr. Rollins telegraphs that he will not appear
personally or by counsel in New York on to-mor-
row.
Deputy Commissioner Harand also will ignore
the warrant for him, should it be served.
1t is positively asserted that Rollins will not re-
cognise Buckley, that is he will assign him no
duty.

ADDRESS To WoRKI> >GMEN.-Grnrral
S. +. Carev, the el, qnent champion Of
the rights Of labor, and member OF Con-
gre<s from Cincinnati, addressed the work
ingmen of Allegheny county, 1T Birming
ham, on last Friday evening. His speech
was eloquent and instructive in the high
est degree. After stating that he was the
ouly representative in the national lcgisla-
lure elected upon the distinctive issue Of
labor, he gave minute exposition OF the
debt aud tax questions, showing that when
il required six hundred millions year TO
pay the current expenses of government,
d mr of fJty cents per lay Was imposed
upon every worker.
The speaker favored the Withdrawal OF
every acre Of tn: public lands from the
hands OF capitalists and SPECTATORS
Within the last fifteen years Congress had
given away land sufficient to furnish every
wOrkingman- in the nation with farm.
The Pacific Railroad was owned 10y Con
gressmcn. A member of the House,
whose seat was near the speakers owr 5
$500, 900 of this rallroat stock that never
cost him cent. The speaker had never
voted one acre Of land away, and never
would. A project had been set on foot
last session which was denorn.natrd the
Usage land swindle. A company wts OIL
ganized to buid railroad costing $1,000
900, and asked S6000,0O0 to enable them
TO complete it. The speaker was offered
a township in Kansas, six miles square, to
vote for the bill, but he refused to accept
the bribe. The bill, fortunately. did not
pass congressman who were shrieklng
for liberty and the rights of men had en-
riched themselves by corruption,

Death of Hon. Howell Cobb.

General Howell Cobb, Of Georgia. and
late of.the Confederate army, dropped dead
at the Fifth Avcnue Hotel, about half
past ten o'clock on Friday evening. Be-
sides filling many honorable offices in his
State, he had repeatedly represented his
district in Congress, and was Secretary OF
the Treasury during President Buchanan ;
Administration.
General Cobb, accompanied by Mrs.
Cobb and Miss Cobb, arrived at The Fifth
Avenue Hotel some time ago from the
South. Their stay was brief, and the
General and family LETT for Niagara Falls
and other points i'll Canada for the PURPOSE
of visiting friends. On the first OF Octu-
Der he, in company with his family, ar
rived on their return trip at the hotel.
About ten o'clock on Friday, Colonel
Williams, of Florida, called at the hotel,
accompanied by clergyman fom the
South, and sent cards to the Generals
rooms They were received, and after the
General and the clergyman had parlicipa-
ted in an animated discussion the General
and Mis-. Cobb proceeded to the stairs
leading from the parlor to the office, aud
while III the act of taking leave of bis
guess, the General was observed to sit
down on the stars. A moment after, the
guests and Mrs Cobb observed d tremur of
the body and sudden contraction of the
muscles oi the face. The attending phy-
sIcian of the hotel was at once called. but
before he could administer medical rcm,-
dies, the distinguished Statesman and Con
tederate General, who has acted so promi-
nent part in the history of our coun-
try, was carried into the reception room
and in few moments was q corpse. On
Saturday morning, at the instance of Col.
J. Williams, acting at the request Of the
reiict Of the deceased, the corpse vas re-
moved from the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
where he died so suddenly, to Savannah

NATURALIZATION.

Courts for naturalization purposes will
be held at Scranton Oct. 30th. Also Al
" likes Bark on the same day.
The following points ia reference to the
Naturalization of aliens, though often pub
lishrd may not Yet b. familiar to all:
/. In The case Oi persons arrlvlrg IN the
United States under the age of l8 years, a
residence of five years III the county, and
Que wear IN this State, must be proved by
d citizen In su3h cases no previous dec
laIation or ''fir>t papers are required,
2 In the case Of persons arriving in the
United States over l8 years of age, II
five Years residence in the.country and one
in the State must be proved 10y citizen.
In such cases, the applicant must have de-
cared his intentions to become citizen at
least two years before; aud must show his
''tir,t papers" il order to get his second or
"iul papers" The witness in anv case must
be citizen, and if naturaliZel, should
have his papers of citizenship present.
3 All'alIens residing in this country,
who we're under the age of 2l years at the
date of the natu alizaIion Of their father,
are thereby made citizens.
4. Aliens who have been engaged in the
military service of the United States, on
proof of residence within the United
States for one year and upwards, on pro-
dncton of certificate of honorable dis
charge, are entitled to certificate of natn-
rallzation. There is an impression that
such persons are entitled to vote, on the
production to the election board of their
cert fcate of discharge. This is mistake.
They must have certificate of Rat2raliza-
ton from the Court.
