Br. --, County Treasurer:
s1a-In circular letter, dated August %, you
were instructed not to attach the penalty imposed
upon delinquent taxpayers until you received orders
from this Office to do so. am aware that the season
at which taxes became due this year has made 1t
burdensome for large number Of taxpayers to meet
the demands o! the government. According with
the approval of the Governor, extensions OF the time
for the collection of taxes have been made to the full
extent of the authority conferred by law In order
to give ample time to all who wish to pay their taxes,
It has been decided to extend the time for the colec
ton of taxes 10 the 10Th of the present month Itis
believed that by that time all who depend upon the
sale OF crops to meet their taxes, will have made
satisfactory arrangements.
You are, therefore. instructed to proceed against
delinquent taxpayers in conformity TO law after the
18th day Of October.

Your obedient servant

The Army Reducti ON Farce.


The order consolidating the army for
the purpose of reducing it is sham, like
all other moves on the Radical board, to
deceive the people.
Under the present order farce there
will be twenty-five regiments instead of
forty-fve, but the twenty-five arc to be
kept up to the full war footing:
"The regiments will be consolidated,
company by company,so that every com
pany will have present for duty one cap
tain, one first lieutenant, one second
lieutenant, and not to exceed six ser.
gcants, eight corporals, two musicians,
two artiticers, one WAGNER and one hun
drcd privatcs."
This gives one hundred and twenty
two men "present for duty" in each COM
pany, or total infantry force in the
twenty-five regiments of $4,000, officers
and men, exclusive of field and staff of
ficers. Forty-ive regiments, at an aver
age of 700 men-few regiments exceed
that number ''prescnt for duty in or
dinary times, would foot up only 81, 500
men. The ''great reduction of the army"
therefore, will amount to a decrease of
1000 in its numbers, and of million
dollars in its cost; so that the people
will probably be taxed only ninety nine
millions for its support this year, instead
of a hundred millions, as has been ex-
pccted.

Ulysses, the Little.

MACK" in his letter of the It'll, gives
the following history Of the removal of
FRANK BLAIR by the small creature filling
the Presidential chair:
IL met 'old man Blair as they call
him, 1.-THE father of General Blair,) to-
day, and in the course Of short con-
versation the subject Of Grants removal
Of Frank from the petty Office of Pacific
Railroad Commissioner was alluded to.
Mr.. Blair seemed to feel deeply hurt, not
because of the removal, but because of
the manner in which it was done. He
said he had taken pains to inform Grant,
very soon after his Inauguration, that
Frank did not intend to embarrass him
by holding the Office, but would resign
it within month. There was some par
ticular reason why he wished to remain
even that long; but Grant was also told
that if he wished to appoint somebody
else immediately, Frank would resign
forthwith, rather than be formally re-
moved. This request from an old gen
tlempn who has been respected by every
President since the days of Jackson, in
behalf of his son, who was one of the
bravest and best Federal officers from the
Northwest, SO far from accomplishing
the desired result precipitated what it
was intended to avoid. Up to this time
Grant did not know that Frank Blair
held any office under the Government,
nor that there was any such office as Pa
cific Railroad Commissioner lie immc-
diately ordered Blair's removal and the
appointment of Nr. Isaac N. Morris, of
Illinois, in his stead. And, as | said in
a former letter. on the very same day
that he removed Blair from one Office he
appointed Longstreet to another and a
better one.
'.Now should like somebody who is
vcrsed in history to match the above as
an instance of petty malignity on the
part Of man occupying so high place
as that of President. The act,trifiing as
it may appear, shows one of the strong
est characteristics of Grant, and is true
index from which to judge the man and
the President He is by all odds the
smallest specimen of the genus homo that
ever emerged from the industrious OBJ
scurity of q lanyard into the blazing
meridian of craftsmanship. Iknew him
in the army from 1861 to lS64,an could
relate q hundred instances in strict ac-
cord with his contemplate treatment of
Blair. But we need not 60 so far back
to find companion pictures for his little
ness. What prompted him to send Han
cock to Dakota and Thomas to Califor-
MIA? These men during the war refused
to join the Sherman Grant Mutual Ad
miration Society, and hence their pun
iShment"

Anarchy is ReCOnstructiOn.-C Con.
fusion Is Loyalty

Yesterday, by order of Congress, the
government of Virginia went to pieces.
We have no officers of any sort, save
here and there scallawag or a carpet
bagger. The military commander of
District No. l says he cannot fill the
offices, and consequently the clerks Off
ces, the sheriffs' offices and all other
offices are closed. Nobody can get out
license to carry on trade; nobody can
lodge complaint before magistrate
no deed can go to record; no injunction
can be procured from the courts; our
women cannot marry. Anarchy is re-
construction and confusion is loyalty
What have the people of Virginia done
to be left without any government p
They are not allowed to manage their
own affairs in any manner, and Congress
is so busy thatit only finds time to decree
diSinteoratiOn.

suspension of an officer to the approval
of the Senate within thirty days after
the latter body reassembles. If the
Senate does not concur in the suspension
Of the official, said official returns to his
office, his previous removal by the Presi-
dent to the contrary Notwithstanding.
HOW THE COMPROMISE WAS MADE.
This is so much like the old law that
most every body wonders that Grant
even has decided to accept it in lieu of
his original terms of an unconditional
repeal; but this much needs explanation
as follows: Radical Senators went to
him last night, and said that, if vote
were taken i'll the Senate on the House
bill for the simple repeal of the Tenure
of-oflice Law, it would probably barely
pass by the vote Of the Democratic Sen
ators, who would thus have all the cred
it of fulfilling the Presidents main de-
sire, and at the same time place the
bulk of the Radical Senators in an un-
pleasant position. These Radical Sena-
tors proposed that the Senate should
recede from its position somewhat, and
that the President should do the same.
Mr.. Grant, after much thought, agreed
to the compromise thus proposed, and
consented to take it in the shape of the
bill that passed the Senate today. What
the House will do, of course remains to
be seen, but Butler has mustered, it is
said, sixty Radicals for repeal, who
with the fifty seven Democrats, will &C
for repeal and defeat this so called com
promise bill. Nothing but the cohesive
power of public plunder will save the
day for the Radical party on this impor
tant measure.

The Wonders OF the Microscope.
Hell I'm a Cubic Inch Of Sugar.

Last night we saw the hidden wonders
of raw sugar as they were revealed to
us by microscope of uncommon power
and great detective ability, which will
forever set Us against all sweets in that
form with an intensity of horror, such
as no man can conceive who has not
been behind the scenes. We saw the
living hell itself, however, in less than a
quarter of an ounce of raw sugar. There
were myriads, apparently, or horrible
insects as large as beetles, and having
the appearance of crabs. Four dread
full legs, with claw-pincers at the end Of
them, joined in four parts az with arm.
ors, and bristling with sharp pointed
spears, were in front of the monster.
and his head was long pyramidal form
in two joints, with five finger tips at the
terminus where the mouth ought to
have been.
The body was oval-shaped, and mark
cd almost exactly like that of crsb,
only upon the rims of an inner circle
upon the back there were twelve more #
those long sharp spears, with two at the
tail, and four snake-like tentacula, ex-
ceedingly fine in articulation, and no,
doubt intended like puss' whiskers to
be feelers, to warn the hinder end parts
of contiguous danger. The reverse
side showed the ugliness of that beast,
even more than the diverse, but it also.
showed wonderous mechanical genius
of the maker of it. Each limb was
padded by mass of muscle at the base,
which gave the impression of immense.
(relative) power, and over the muscle,
there was q case of armor through
which it showed. sr
Talk about lively beasts, and lively
they were. Eager, restless, ravenous
always falling foul on each other, or at
tacklng great joints of sugar, as large,
in reality, as mathematical point. With
pincers attached to the end of each pro-
bocis they caught hold of one another,
and tore one another repeating in their
small way, the enormous tragedies of
Tennyson's primal monsters.
The way these marvels came to light

sugar, was dissolved in about three times
the quantity of water, when, as with a
conjuror's rod, the animalcules sprang
to the surface, and floated there, swim
ming about, and up and down, like the
beasts that wriggle in soft water Tubs,
and finally turn into flies resembling
mosquitoes, but harmless. These sugar
animalcules, or acarus sacchari, as the
scientific men call them, were then gath,
cred up in spoon, and placed under 8
glass magnifying about 200 times. They
could be seen, however, with the naked
eye, to begin with, but not III their hid
eousness until the object glass brought
it out. 1t has been proved thatin every
pound Of unrefned, raw sugar, there are
100000 of these acari. In. Is grains
eight, DR.. Hassall, of London, found
100 of these insects; and DR.. Barder, of
the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland,
found 400 in As grains weight, or 268,-
600 in pound.
i Worse still, as matter of aesthetics,
this is the very same insect that bores
into the skin of its victims in Scotch
beds, and treats them to q taste of the
"Scotch fiddle" alias the itch.

The Cabinet.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati EaQsifer says of the mixed
state of affairs in Grants Cabinet:
"There is still one chance left in the
Great American Gift Enterprise. The
Attorney Generalship will soon he va
cant, and now is the time to send in the
donations of money and rcsl estate. l
have not ascertained the exact figures at
which it is held, but, judging from for
mer sales, / should guess it at $4,000.
Mr.. Hoar, the present incumbent, has
been asked to resign, but declines for the
present. He cannot remain, however,
without giving Massachusetts two MEM
bers Of the Cabinet, which is quite too
much of good thing, even in these days
of New England supremacy. Mr.. Hoar
says, in reply to all who ask him to
leave, that he gave up the Office of Judge
of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
to take the place he now occupies-and
he is quite unwilling to be left out in the
cold to accommodate the ''ring" that
forced Boutwell, into the Treasury De-
partment. Besides, he gave Grant a val
liable library, and he has not yet had
the worth of his money in Cabinet hon
ors. lEz
There Is good deal of grumbling at
the appointment of the ancient and Fish

Married i'm Fun but Welded in
Earnest.

The Montpelier (Vt.) Journal says
that, not thousand miles from White
River Junction, serio- comic affair oc
Cured, which made the parties to the
joke laugh out of the other side of their
mouths. A correspondent, who dis
cribes the affair, says: ''They have got
up the funniest snarl across the river
that you ever heard of. At party last
week, at ones, after eXhausting the
ordinary games, and wanting something
new, mock marriages were proposed.
Accordingly names were drawn by lots,
and four couples stood up to be mar
ried The ceremony was performed, and
they duly pronounced man and wife, by
the laws of the State and before these
Witnesses. After the ceremony they
ascertained the man officiating was q JUS
tice of the peace, and the parties were le
gally married They are in the greatest
alarm about it that ever was. One of
them, Professor ofT-- Seminary,
expects lady up from below in about a
fortnight to marry him, and nearly every
one involved is expecting to be married
right away one other gentleman to lady
below and they feel like death. They have
searched all the law books and consult
ed o thorities far and near, and every
thing only proves the knot still tighter.
The justice has been fined fifty dollars
for each couple. He says he is from an
other county and cannot do business
here, and supposed the marriages not to
be legal. 1t is certainly a funny scrape,
and made still funnier by the fact that all
the parties belong to the supper ten"
The best opinion is that they are legally
married, and can only be divorced by
the legislatures

Ey-In the Senate few days since
Senator SrKAGUE forcibly illustrated the
bankrupt condition of the country, the
result of Jacobin rule. Here is the sum-
ming up Of his observations:
"If the country is prosperous, why is
it that you are corvulsed with, failures
and bankruptcies? Why are your news
papers and your courts filed day by day
in every village, in every town, and in
every city of this country with accounts
of bankruptcies ? There were twenty
six hundred failures in 1867, twenty-six
hundred failures in 1868, and God only
knows what will be the extent of them
for 1869"
That is picture calculated to make
the tax-paying portion of the people
pause, before going further with the de-
testable party responsible for the ruin
of their neighbors and the utter stagna-
ton of business.
