Admiral Robson appeared with panta-
looms rolled up, wading about the stern of
the steamer, the tide being out, and dis
covers the rudder rising an inch or two out
of the water. He gszes at it with an anx-
ious and puzzled look, when the doubt
suddenly left his bronzed and weather

exclaimed: 'D-n my starboard top

THE TEST OATH IN Vm-

There Is no good reason why the
members Of the virginia Legislature
should be required to take the test
oath. What good is to be accom-
plished? What sense is there in
applying the test In Virginia, and
emitting 1t in Georgia and Louis
lana? Suppose that General Candy,
who seems TO be good deal OF q
tyrant, should require the members
to take the test oath not required by
law9 The question has been twice
decided against Candy, by his super
ior officer, Gen. Grant, and he
would follow those decisions were
he not more politician than soldier.
Suppose that Candy carries the day,
and that every member of the
Virginia Legislature should take
oath, although half of them may
have been in the Confederate army,
What crime would be committed
What court would have Jurisdiction.
It should be recollected that before
the Legislature is sworn Virgin
must be restored to the Union. The
case would be exactly the same
should General Candy be sent tC
Connecticut, next Spring, TO ad
minister test oaths to the members
of our Legislature. The whole thing
would be exIrajudicial, and charg'
Of perjury could not for a moment
be maintained. Candy wants LITTLE
political notoriety, and has taken
this means to secure It, We arr
glad to see that even the Tribune Il

INTERESTING TO TOBACCO
DEAIERG

The following extract from q letter
written by Mr.. Douglass, acting Commits
sioner of the Internal Revenue Bureau, to
Mr.. Sargent Collector of the Fourth inter
nal Revenue District, Massachusetts,, is of
much importance to dealers in tobacco. It
settles questions which have heretofore
been in doubt. Mr.. Douglas says, under
date OF July 18th:
81 reply that the law preScribes mode OF
packing tobacco and provides that it shall
not be sold in any other forms than in
such prescribed packages, except at retail
by retail dealers from wooden packages,
stamped as required by law"
mo jobber or wholesale dealer, or other
person, except retail dealer, can break a
package of tobacco and sell therefrom
without becoming liable to the penalties
provided by the 18th section Of the act
of July 20, 1868. And any retail dealer
who removes tobacco from q stamped
package to u jar or showcase for sale,
renders the tobacco so removed liable to
seizure, and if the same should be seized
the burden of showing that the law has
been complied with as regards that partic
ular tobacco would rest upon the dealer,

The Republicans propose to open
the campaign in Ohio with speeches
from Senator MORTON, OF Indiania
and General HAYES, on the 18th, OF
August. 1t has been the custom of
the Republican party, ever since the
war closed, to make that the prinei-
pal issue, and to fight over its battles
again. The same speeches which its
orators delivered in 1865 and 1866
have been repeated with little var
iation in 1857 and 1868. There is an
exception, however. to be made
here. Senator MORTON makes very
different speeches now from what he
did in 1865. His Richmond I'm
diana) anti-negrO suffrage speech we
should like to hear again, and if he
does not give it to US, we shall have
to republish 1t for general circulation.
A better answer TO MORTON Of 1858
than the MORTON of 1865 can not
well be imagined: His speech OF
this year must have another airing.
1t would be embarrassing to Radical
orators to have to introduce any
matter, as the lawyers says into
their pieadings. Gin. Enquirer.
