We make the following extract from
the act passed by Congress, and now in
force, entitled, San act imposing taxes
on distilled spirits and tobacco, and for
other purposes" approved March 81,
1868, which is of great Importance to
dealers in tobacco: AFTER the first day
Of July, eighteen hundred and sixty.nine,
all manufactured tobacco of every de-
scription shall be taken and deemed as
having been manufactured after the pas
sage Of this act, and shall not be sold or
offered for sale unless put up in packages
and stamped as prescribed by this act,
except ut retail by retail dealers from
wooden packages stamped as provided
for in this act; and every person who
shall sell or offer for sale after the first
day of July, eighteen hundred and sixty
nine, any other manufactured tobacco not
so put in packages and stamped, shall,
on conviction, be fined not less than five
hundred dollars, nor more than five thou
sand dollars, and imprisoned not less
than six months, nor more than two
years." See section 70.

A Dead Heat Punctured.

MEMPHIS, July L, ioO5.
EDITOR LEDGER: In yesterdays issue
you say that "a man named +. M. Powell
has made himself Infamous in the eastern
portion of Lafayette county, Miss" by
marrying the daughter of a poor widow
and few days thereafter deserving her,
taking with him her only horse, since
which time nothing has been heard of
him. From a description of the party
alluded to, and other corroborative cir
cumstancss, am confident this must be
Forrest Powell, of this city, who, in the
latter part of 1867, married a young lady
in South Memphis, aud a short time after
wards deserted her, leaving her without
means. He first boarded with his wife
at the "Conmercial," next at q private
house--neither of which parties ever
received any pay. He is a notorious
:" dead beat" and his victims are num-
bered by the score. He is now lurking
about this city, munching his hash by
his wits. ID.

We stated briefly, yesterday, that
Chancellor Smith had rendered q decision
in the Williams-B oughuer mapdamus
case adverse to Mr.. Boughner, the late
appointee Of Governor Senter. This
morning we applied at the Chancery
Court room for q copy Of the decision,
but Il was not to be seen, and finally we
learned that the Chancellor had it in his
pocket. His attorney has . copy, but he
informed us that Judge Smith did not
wish it published, and declined to let US
have the text or take copy. Under the
circumstances. we beg leave of an indul-
gent public to remark that this is cool,
as Henry Ward Beecher would say,
decidedly cool. No decision of such
Importance TO the county and State at
large has been reached since the war,
save the Supreme Court decision at
Brownsville. And yet Judge who was
elected and holds his position to-day by
virtue of state Of affairs which his
decision is intended 10 prolong and
strengthen, is unwilling that his acts
should come before the tribunal Of
public scrutiny. He can suppress his
opinions as long as he chooses; but we
have some opinions that will not be sup
pressed or changed. Every man in the
community has way of forming opin-
ions, and Judge Smith may expect to
hear many of them buzzipg about his
ears.

Death of Major CockreII.

Major r. II. M. Cockrell, of the Pea
body Hotel, died unexpectedly this
morning, at eight o'clock, from conges-
ton Of the bowels. The funeral viii take
place from the hotel tomorrow morning,
at nine clock. The deceased was taken
sick only last Monday with slight sum
mer attack, and no danger was appre-
hended until short time before he died.
The sad event cast solemn air over the
house and large range of acquaintance
and friends. Major Dick Cockrell had
hosts of friends, and, perhaps, not an
enemy in the world. He was a genial,
upright gentleman, whose presence will
be sadly missed in bic wonted place. He
leaves young wife and large circle Of
relatives to mourn his untimely taking-off.

We learn that Col. Chas. G. Armisted,
formerly well known member Of the bar
ID Memphis, died few days since 10 the
asylum at Jackson, Miss. His funeral
took place last Tuesday morning from
the Methodist Church in that city. Col.
Armisted was originally q citizen of
Yallobusha county, and represented that
county in the Mississippi Legislature.
During the war he was known as the gal
liant commander of the Seventeenth Con-
federate Cavalry regiment. At one time
he commanded brigade, aud, if we are
not mistaken, was commissioned as
Brigadier General After the war he
practiced his profession as lawyer in
Memphis, with fair success, for year or
more; but an old wound, which he re-
ceived while in the service, finally re-
suited in paralysis and insanity, and
caused his death. Peace to the ashes OF
one who was born for misfortune, and
whose light was extinguished before he
reached the dark waters of Leihe.
