some time past, has affiliated with the
Republican party in the Eastern part of
the State. being one of the Governors
4" official organs" gives in its adhesion
and promises its support to the nomina-
ton of Judge Hanks, the Conservative
candidate for Congress. The Clarion
says:
The telegraph brings us the gratifying
information that the Hon. James NJ
Hanks was unanimously as the candidate
of the Conservatives to represent the
First Congressional District in the next
Congress.
AS we said sometime ago, Judge Hanks
is our first choice for Congress, and we
accordingly put his name at the head Of
our paper. We regard his election as
certain, and that he can only be counted
oat, to which his friends will probably at
tend. Judge Hanks is such an unexcep
tionabie candidate that many Conserva-
tive Republicans will support him in pref
erence to the Hon Logan II. Roots, who,
they assert, was nominated by the great
est wire pulling.
We will have much to say on this sub

A PREDICTION VERIFIED" Viator" the
correspondent Of the New York World, writ
ing from Little Rock to that journal specu-
lates on the motives that induced Liberal Re
publicans to favor Boles' nomination, and in
his letter written before the meeting of the
Fort smith Conventions, says:
These men will support Boles, should he
he nominated. provided he goes on their plat
form; but any equiyocaton on his part will
lose him their votes This result is foreshad-
owed by the Crawford convention, which
adopted resolutions instructlng the Congress
sional delegates to vote only for such a can
ddate as will pledge himself to advocate and
vote for bill of general amnesty" The re-
fusal Of the convention to indorse this resou-
ton will, in my opinion, cause a bolt, and q
separate nomination. This is true. even if the
anti-Clayton men control the convention and
it will apply with greater force should the
Clayton wing predominate. There is a large
portion-certainly all the reputable members
of the Radical party who warmly favor uni
vcrsal amnesty and the abolition of the many
useless State offices, with the reduction of Of
fetal salaries. These men comprise the bull,
of the intelligence of the party, and nearly
all of these are without official hankerings
am assured by the most influential of their
number that under no circumstance will theil
votes or influence be given for candidates moi
in accord with those views"

Ts~ The new internal revenue law
which took effect on Saturday, October
lst, is of very general interest, from ssits
numerous notifications of taxes hereto
fore imposed The following is synop-
sis of its provisions:
"No stamps are required on any re-
ceipt for money, whether for large OF
small amount All sight checks drawn
on any bank, banker or trust company,
whatever the amount, will require a two
cent stamp, as heretofore all sight checks
or money orders drawn on any private
individual, or company, or corporation
not in the banking business, will also re-
quire a two cent stamp, if the amount eX-
ceed ten dollars. All notes of hand and
due bills of every description, for less
sum than one hundred dollars, will re-
quire no stamp. All promissory notes
amounting to one hundred dollars and
over are to be stamped as heretofore land
all mortgages transferred, sold or assign.
ed after October lst will require no new
stamp if the original has been once duly
stamped when it was executed All taxes
on sales, except such as are now paid by
stamps, and except the tax on sales Otto
bacco, snuff, cigars, spirits and wines
will now cease The returns for Septem-
Der are the last to be required under the
law rs it stands Licenses and special
taxes assessed by the year will run to
May lst, except the tax on brewers and
dealers in distilled spirits and tobacco.
The inquiry has been made as to what
shall be done with the two cent receipt
stamps hereafter. That stamp is used in
common for receipts, checks and what
ever else might be covered with the same
amount Those who have bought them
to be used solely for receipts can use
them for any other purpose requiring a
revenue stamp Ten of them, with y five
cent stamp, would cover a power of at.
torney, and in various ways they may be
utilized until the stock is exhausted

A KISS AT THE DOOR.

We were standing in the doorway
My little wife and /
The golden sun upon her hair
Fell down so silently,
A small white hand upon my arm,
What could l ask for more,
Than the kindly glance of loving eyes,
AS she kissed me at the door.
l know she loves with all her heart
The one who stands beside!
And the years have been so joyous
Since first l called her bride!
We've had so much of happiness
Since we met in years before,
But the happiest time of all was
When she kissed me at the door.
Who cares for wealth of land or gold,
OF fame, or matchless power ?
1t does not give the happiness
OF just one little hour
When one who loves me as her life
She says she cloves me more"
And | thought she did this morning,
When she kissed me at the door.
At times it seems that all the world,
With all its wealth of gold,
Is very small and poor indeed
Compared with what hold
And when the clouds hang grim and dark
| only think the more
OF zone" who waits my coming step,
To kiss me at the door.
If she lives till age shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
| know she ii love me just the same
As the morning we were wed.
But if the angels call her
And she goes to Heaven before,
| will know her when | meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.
The Placer herald., 1870-10-22

AMERICAN BED BUes.-An Englishman,
stopping at a country inn in one of the East
ern States, was continually boasting of the
superiority of everything in England, and
depreciating the productions of America.
The landlord, as may be surmised, did not
relish this, and therefore thought of plan to
get square with the English blower. Pro-
curing bushel of fine healthy crabs, he
poured them in the Englishman's bed, then
telling his guest that the room was ready, he
lighted candle and escorted him up stairs.
Upon reaching the door the Yankee managed
to put out the light OF course it didn't
make much difference to the Englisher, so
he undressed himself and jumped into bed.
Immediately he gave terrific yell: Gland
lord landlord! come here What are these
in my bed p The landlord, who was out
side the door came in, looked in the bed and
cody said; "Them's bed-bugs, can you beat
them in England p The Englishman left
at once.
