owing to the peculiar language OF the
statute it can be withheld from coupons
falling due during the last FIVE months
Of 1870. The amount involved in this
question is very little less than $6, ,0O0,-
600. The decision of the Circuit Court
of Pennsylvania that no tax can be
withheld from this source for the first
seven months 1870, has been appealed
to the United States Supreme Court.
The right to withdraw a tax from sala-
ries of Goyernment officers during that
time turns upon the points in the case
cited. -'.'st-tt' s5't.a
Among other terrible illustrations of
hasty legislation by Congress the report
says the public resolution No. Is, ap-
proved July l3, 1870, relieved insurance
companies from certain taxes, but an
act passed the next day restored them,
in language 80 plain, as to operate as
repeal OF the resolution.
The Commissioner mentions that the
repeal of the Stamp tax on receipts
operates practically as q repeal of the
tax upon demand, and sight drafts,
bank papers, and a person gives the
bank receipt in lieu of check, which
the bank uses as voucher. This prac-
tice is increasing and seems likely to be
general, and the present law provides
no security.
The repeal of the special tax on
apothecaries takes effect in May next,
and yet they have to pay after that a
special tax if they use liquors in pre-,
scriptions. So their taxes are increased.
The defects mentioned in the law are
but few of those discovered. The
Commissioner estimates an annual rev.
enue of$lll,4lS,000 from internal tax
alton after the law Of last July is en-
tirely in force. He recommends an alb
clifton of the stamp tax on prepared
mustard, jellies, &c. No reference
whatever is made to the income tax.

High.Handed Outrage by a Radical
state Senate-Attempt to Prevent
the Lawfully Elected Democratic
Governor from Taking his Seat.

MONTGOMERY, November 25.-To-day
has been one Of excitement here. At a
late hour last night, Governor Smith
and Treasurer Bingham obtained from
Supreme Court, Judge Stafford, and
from Circuit Court, Judge Pelhams, in
functions restraining the presiding
officer of the Senate from counting the
vote for Governor and Treasurer.
At one o'clock the two houses met in
Joint convention. Mr.. Barr, President
pro tem., announced that he could not
open and count the votes for Governor
and Treasurer, but that he would count
for other officers. The result OF the
count showed that the majority Of votes
cast in the State was for the following
candidates, all Democrats: f. L..
Moren, Lieutenant Governor, 4377; j..
J. Parker, Secretary of State, 4459 !;
George A. Sanford, 1923.
The President announced that these
gentlemen were legally elected to their
respective offices, and ordered that the
returns be sent to the Secretary of
State to await judicial proceedings.
Senator Molney then offered resolu-
ton that Hon. E. Moren be sworn in
as Lieutenant Governor of Alabama,
and be invited to preside over the joint
convention as the legal presiding officer
of the Senate, and Mr. Barr, the presi-
ding officer PRO tenn announced that the
resolution was out Of order, and asked
the Senate to retire to its chamber,
which it did, and Immediately adjourn
ed Mr. Moren in the meantime was
sworn in as Lieutenant Governor by
Judge NJ. j. Stafford and was escorted
to the speakers chair He announced
that he was ready to proceed to bust
ness as presiding officer Of the joint
convention. f t
Mr.. Lowe offered a resolution that
the Secretary of State, Mr.. Miller,
(Mr. Parker not yet being sworn in,)
be asked to return to the Lieutenant
Governor the returns Of the vote cast
at the late election, whichs was done.
Mr.. Moren, a majority fthe General
Assembly being present, then counted
the vote.
Lieutenant Governor Moren proceed
ed to count the votes for Governor and
Treasurer. 1t resulted, 1929 majority
for Lindsay, Democrat, and about $500
ior Grant, Democrat. Mr.. Lindsay
took the oath of office as Governor, and
the State for a time will probably have
two Governors. The Senate will recog-
nize Mr. Smith, and the House Mr..
Lindsay. The matter will be in the
courts soon,

Mur,ierers OF the Lapine Family
at POtsie.
ST.. LOUIS, November 2S.-The Allan
tic and Pacific railroad is completed to
Neosho, Newton county, in the extreme
southwestern portion OF the State, and
will be opened for traffic the latter part
Of this week. Neosho is 3llmiles from
St. Louis. The road is in fine condition
and will be pushed rapidly on into In
dian territory and across the plains.
The Republican has a special from
Potsie stating that there was great ex-
citement there since the arrival Of John
Armstrong and Charles Jelly, who mur-
dered the Lapine family in that vicinity
some days ago. Threats Of lynching
were made and Sheriff Breckenridge
stationed twenty-five men armed With
double-barreled guns at the court house,
few steps from the Jail, where the
prisoners are confined determined to
suppress any attempts which might be
made in that direction, About one
o'clock on Sunday morning some forty
men appeared at the Jail and demanded
the assassins. The Sheriff replied that
he should protect the prisoners from
violence, and ordered the crowd to dis
perse, which not being obeyed, a volley
was fred over their heads. Several shots
were then fired by the mob without
effect; this fire was returned by the
posse and one of the mob was killed
The crowd then dispersed. The Sheriff
has strengthened his force and nc
further effort at violence has beer
made.

Gossip about the appointment OF a

WASHINGTON, November 2S.-Noth-
ing has been made public thus far re,
garding the Presidents selection of a
Minister to England, and it now seems
doubtful that any selection will be made
before the assembling of Congress.
The President receives with respectful
attention all suggestions bearing upon
the choice Of candidates, but gives no
indication of his personal preferences,
nor his purposes.

The Order OF EvangeIists.

New YORK, Nov. 2S.-Bishop Potter
has initiated the example Of the Right
Rev. DR.. Li,tlejohn, of Long Island, in
relation to the new order of English
Ritualists, whose members have at.
tempted to officiate IN the diocese. The
Bishop prohibited any priest or mission
ary of the organization from performing
ministerial acts as clergymen Of the
Episcopal church in his See, and the
pastors of the various churches are Tia
ble to censure if they permit them to
preach from their pulpits. The body
which has thus been laid under ban is
known as the Order of Evangelists. 1t
has branch in Boston. Father Brad
ley, the well known priest OF st Ader-
ainents mission, has also received a
hint to abandon his practice Of commu-
nicating alone, after the manner of
Catholic priests.

The new Minister from Bolivia is ex-
pected soon to arrive in the United

will agree upon such terms as will set
tie ali their difficulties and advance
their material interests.
1t is stated in diplomatic circles that
the government OF Columbia has never
been recognized by Spain as an inde-
pendent State. Their relations have
been only unofficial. This fact has led
to much speculation with regard to the
action of the Columbia government
concerning the Cuban insurrection. 1t
is true that anti-Spanish demonstra-
tons were made in the Columbia Coz .
gress but the government Of Bogota
itself has always given most positive
assurances to the Spanish authorities
that they would remain neutral, which
il has done.
