TORug Man Killed,

ST.. Louis, Nov. 14.-A young man
named Thomas Stretch, sixteen years
old, was killed this afternoon, under
painful circumstances. Accounts are
very conflicting, one being that a
parcel Of boys were playing ball on a
vacant lot at the corner OF Tenth and
Carr Streets, when James Stewart, a
we'll known builder, came ont Of his
house adjoining, and ordered them of,
and at the same time threw a brick at
them, hitting Stretch on or near the
shoulder, ihaicting a wound from
which he died in a few minutes.
Stewart has the reputation Of being
kind hearted Christian man, aud
the occurrence has caused much
sOlicitude among his friends. He
does not deny throwing the brick, but
says IL did not hit the boy.

TEE greater part Of last week was
devoted by the z Jefferson County
Court, IL session at Louisville, in
hearing arguments on a rule entered
in behalf Of the Commonwealth Of
Kentucky against the State and
National Banks Of shat city. to
show cause why the income of
their Government bonds should
not be listed for taxation. The
rule was entered according TO "a
special act passed by the General
Assembly of Kentucky on March 8,
1867, entitled an act to tax Income on
United States bonds. In returning
their tax lists, the banks have all re-
fused to comply with the law. They
contend that it l. unconstitutional, as
it conflicts with the law Of Congress
exempting Government bonds from
taxation. This is very interesting
case, ard will be regarded as test
case in ether States. Ifit be conceded
that the State of Kentucky can tax
Government bonds, other States will
most assuredly claim the same priVi-
lege. We anticipate, however, that
when the case is taken up to the U. S
Courts. the Commonwealth of Ken
lucky will fad herself outranked, and
that the bonds viii 90 unwhipt Of
taxation, as the law now provides.

Itseems to Us the above statement,

much for the Free Traders. They
have alleged that the salt monopo-
lists get ali the benefit Of the Tariff,
and the Government derives no reve-
