FACTS THAT SHOULD BE KNowN.-It will be

FACTS THAT SHOULD BE KNowN-It will be
well, says the Transcript, for our readers to
remember:
First, that Government bonds are taxed five
per cent. on their interest, in the income tax,
just the same as all other incomes, from what
ever source. Second, that Chief Justice Mar
shal settled the law of the matter, upon the
ground that if Government issues were SUBJ
iect to local or State taxation at al--that is,
if the right to tax them by State existed
there could be no limit to its exercise, and
the securities of the General Government
could be rendered absolutely worthless in any
State by its imposing such an amount of tax
as would take not only all the interest to be
derived from them, but impair the principal
as well. These facts are important to know
and yet which are not generally understood
by either Republicans or Democrats.

is told of young lad, who for the first time
accompanied his father to IA public dinner.

opinion of Grant is certainly worth having,
wrote as follows to friend:

you how light my heart is on account of the

MORE DEMOCRATIC LITERATURE Here is
another sample from the Humboldt (Nev. J
Register. commenting on the colored funeral
escort that attended the remains of the de-
ceased statesman. Thaddeus Stevens, to the
grave:
How pleasing and gratifying it must
have been to the lowering spirit of that de-
funct body to know and realize that the
African at least was not unmindful of his
great labOrs in their behalf while living
Even though the iron gates of Perdition shut
within the governed feeps of He'll his un-
shriven soul, yet the memory of that funeral
cortege and the deep reverence and devotion
of the black race for his name and memory
will more than compensate for the endless
execrations which will follow his name by all
good"

November. If the country does not quiver
under the vibrating force of jubilant gun

we lose our guess-no more. 1t will have a
close connection with the event of 1865, as
being the closing up of the contract for peace
to follow the war. 1t will be the sealing of a
bond to keep the peace. and the country can
afford to rejoice. Va. Trespass

They run WITH THE GREATEST ACCURACY AND

the time when railway companies will generally
adopt your watches, and furnish them to all engi-

greatly tend to promote regularity and safety.

GENTLEMEN: The watches manufactured by YOU

part of our equipment. There are now some
THREE HUNDRED OF THEM CARRIED on OUR LINE,
and we consider them GOOD ANb RELIABLE
TIMEKEEPERS. Indeed, have great satisfac-
ton in saying YOUR WATCHES GIVE US LESS
TROUBLE, and have worn and do wear much
longer without repairs than any watches we have
ever had in use on this road. As you are aware we
formerly trusted to those of English manufacture,
of acknowledged good reputation, but as q class
they never kept time correctly, nor have they
done good service yours

PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.
New York Crew Ready TO Accept the Chal-
Ienre I'm Place Or the Harvard Crew.

From the Evening Telegram March 1871
The seeming impossibility Of the crew OF the TIar-
leng given them by the oxford University Boat club
OF England 10 row an international match has been
the means OF awakening some little spirit among
the oarsmen OF this city. Anticipating that the
Harvard boys would accept the challenge they
have said nothing; but as the Harvard crew
object to carrying O coxswain, and the oxford
crew will agree to row in no other way,
the proposed match may therefore be con-
sdered Off. The opinion Of many professional boat
men IL that In the event OF race between an Amer-
can and English crew they should either carry cox
swains or both do without, that the crew winning
cannot be accused OF having an advantage Under
the circumstances relative to the challenge to the
Harvard crew many considered that they ought to
consent to carry coxswain as II Is easier to learn
to row with coxswain than IL would be TO teach q
crew used TO carrying coxswain 10 row without
one. Among others who feel deep interest In the
hopes OF q trial with those on the opposite side OF the
water are such men M Mr.. James Lee the Ward
brothers. the Begin brothers. and Tommy Burns,
Councilman Roberts and many OF the noted nautical
professionals.
Already crew has been picked up who will agree
20 row the oxford crew any way they desire, cox
swain or no coxswan; and should the Harvard crew
back out altogether TREY will meet the Oxfords on
their own terms. Already q communication has
been forwarded to the oxford crew, and should they
duee crew which will do honor to the oarsmen Of
