VIOLATING THEFRANCHIsE LAW.

The Huntsville Fidette states that
Mr.. Josiah Smith, the registrar for
Smith county, has been acting in a
very arbitrary and unwarrantable
manner. MIR. John Barbee is a re-
spectacle citizen of Smith county
and during the war was an uncon-
ditional Union man, and has
vouched for good many who have
obtained certificates to vote from
Mr.. Smith. Bit on the Sd inst.
Mr.. Smith refused to take him as a
voucher, alleging as a reason that
he voted with the Democratic party.
He also refused 10 take d. p. Hodges,
Esq, TO whom he had previously is
sued certificate, saying that he
had not seen him during eighteen
months of the war. OF course this
conduct is wholly indefensible, and
this fellow Smith should be made
to feel the weight of the law he
sets at defiance. The franchise law
is very explicit as to the duty of
registrars, and where they wilfHlly
and intentionally violate the act, as
tins fellow Smith has done. thesap-
griovcd parties should promptly
appeal to the courts for redress.
The gentlemaa who offered Mr..
Barbeo as a voucher, has just cause
for prosecuting Smith, and he
should do so. In the meantime,
Gov. Senter should teach Smith re-
spect for law by giving his office to
an honest, upright man.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE made a
very important ruling in a case at
Baltimore a few days ago, to the
effect that the government could
not collect income tax fiOm
foreigners who hold our bonds, and
that what has been collected must
be refunded. The Internal Reve-
rue Bureau is preparing regula-
tions to carry out this decision.
Several hundred thousand dollars
will be taken out of TIE Treasury
for this purpose.

THE credit of Spain has got to a
very low point. A loan for ten mil
, lion pounds sterling has recently
been negotiated at twonty-nine and
half per cent. For ten million in
bonds she gets not quite three mil
lions in coin. Even the Cubans
might do as we'll as that in the
money market. With so poor credit
Spain will find it very difficult to
suppress the instruction in Cuba.

Her conduct and conversation were ordered in &C
