We were first under the impression that
Charies Christopher might have been the
son OF this consul, as it would be easy to
confound this office with " ambassador. u
but we ind, on examining dates, this could
not be; as Springer was kidnapped about the
year 1878 which was ten or twelve years
before Swedenborg was born, and some 65
years before he published his peculiar SEN

The descendants of Springer arc very
numerous, thro' the country. l was many
years ago In Fayette county, Pa, and was

Springer, near Wilmington, above referred

OF Christopher, and grand-sons Of Charles

From these two Virginia emigrants have
no doubt the Fayette county family de-

LOST HORSE, AND AN ADVENTURE IN THR

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, Nov. 18th, 1869.

place. have been on the war-path since then.
Two of the assassins have fallen at the hands of
an outraged community, and the remaining three
fed to Mexico, to evade summary punishment,
some ten days since.
On the 9th, left this city on scout out on
the Medina. About fifteen miles out while
''nooning," a "bunch" OF mustangs came along
and stampeded my horse, leaving me afoot with
no house nearer than tbe suburbs of San Antonio.
The entire country below the city in the direction

situated post-oak forests which raise their scraggy
limbs above the sandy earth. Savage, half-wild
hogs roam over the waste, and subsist upon the
acorns or pears of the cactus. Horses and cattle

EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS ON SMALL SCALE.
On Wednesday, U. s. Revenue Collector Pretty
man,in pursuance Of instructions, made an eIami-
nation Of the stock OF proprietary medicines on
hand in our city drug stores for the purpose of
inquiriug after further evidence concerning cor
tain parties in Baltimore, who arc the manufac-
tuics Of Forests Juniper Tar" preparation.
These parties, we understand, are now under
arrest upon the charge of not properly stamping
their medicine. Their plan is to stamp ten bot
Ties iu every box, containing dozen, and leave
the other two without stamps. Asthe sale Of the
stuff is said to bc very large, this petty fraud,
saving four cents on every box, amounts, In the
aggregate, TO considerable sum, and makes q
larger margin of profit for these enterprisng
gentlemen.
Collector Prettyman found several boxes on
hand in this city, all of which had been manipu
lated in the manner stated. The druggists were,
of course totally unaware of the fact, and much
surprised upon examining the boxes to nnd them
verify the expectations OF the Revenue of1cers.
The unstamped bottles were seized, and tar, we
presume, will receive cordial welcome at Sixth
aud King streets.

TH. TEST OATH AND Furrrstu AMENDMENT In

TIT Tssr OATH AND FTfeksfH AMENDMENT IN
yIRGINlA.-A Washington date of last Friday
gives the text of Attorney General Hoar's opinion
on the application of the test oath to the Vir-
ginia Legislature. 1t was received at the War
department on Thursday, and has been trans
mitted to General Candy, for his information
and guidance. The Attorney-General says the
Legislature must, as prerequisite, submit the
constitution and their action thereon to Con-
gress for its approval. In this the test oath will
be REQUIRED. If the constitution and the action
of the Legislature be approved, then the Legis-
ture becomes Legislature de faeto, with its seat
in Virginia. And the provisions OF the constl-
tuition fixing the qualifications Of members OF the
Legislature necessarily prevail, the requirements
of the reconstruction act being thus superseded
as far as Virginia is concerned. But before such
approval by Congress, Virginia not being in all
respects a State of the Union, the Legislature,
as provisional body, cannot pass laws without
its members taking the test oath. The recon
struction acts require the ratification of the nj
teenth amendment before the State be ad-
mtted to representation in Congress.
