Sheriff "a gsaqeoombe Cou1ltu

= b. O. j. r.
~ ssis Sheriff Of jsdgecon1e County;ls /
DEAR SIN: Ireply to your questions that
in my opinion merchants do not pay under
the new Revenue Law on purchases for the
three months ending April LIST 1870. See
the proviso in Section s, Schedule G, Of the
new act y
3D. I think you should require merchants
&C., to give sworn statement as required
in Section 10, Schedule B, of the act oil 1869,
of actual purchases for the twelve months
preceding. If there be an excess above the
estimated purchases heretofore made the tax
should be as in the old act
3D.. I am Of opinion that liquor dealers
pay n percent. only on purchases of liquors
as required in Sections 10 and II. Under
rule 8 of the act of 1867, this is expressly
stated. The rates have been changed since
but this rule has not been modified.
(. You will notice in Section 81 OF the act
of 1870, the $25 license to retail is stated to
be 'in addition to the tar imposed on pur-
chases of liquors in this schedule" not sin
addition to The tazesn
The reason why "llquor dealers" are spe-
cially mention in Section 10 is that most
liquor dealers sell other things besides Ii
quors, and it is intended to remind Sheriffs
that they too must be called on to list ar
ticles other than liquors under section IS.

RECOVERY OF STOLEN MoNEY.-Coleman
Wellington, man who had been employed
working for the Chattanooga railroad, re.
turned to his home on Saturday, with sixty
dollars left out of his earnings on the road,
and shortly; after the money was stolen from
him by an old woman who lived by him to
take care of his mother. Suspecting who
had robbed him, he caused the arrest of
Rachel Saunders the old woman in ques-
ton, who finally confessed that she had
given the principal part of the money to a
fortune-teller on Lafayette street. After
several visits to the fortune-teller ffty-three
dollars of the stolen money was recovered.
The old woman herself had spent the other
seven dollars in whisky and tobacco. Re-
corder Houghton remanded Rachel for trial

THE REPUBLICAN ADDRESS.

On the subject of the address of Repub-
lican members of Congress to their constitu-
ents throughout the country the New York
Commercial Adrertiser says: ...
After having done what they could to en-
barrass the Republican party before the
people, the Republican members OF Con-
gress now come out with an appeal to the
party to stand by the good old craft, so
wretchedly mismanaged and so nearly
wrecked by them. They have great deal
to say about the fourteenth and h1teenth
amendments, but no explanation Is given M
the defeat Of the bill to revive our CONNER
cial interests, and very little Is SAID OF the
continuance of the Odious income tax, whose
repeal was SO ardently demanded by the
people. The long and elaborate history OF
the rise and progress OF the Republican
party. as given in this document, might bet
ter have been left out. 1t is recorded
and the party and the people know 1t as
well as the committee do. A few sharp
crisp sentences would have answered far
better than this long screed.
The committee very justly remark that
the Democrat party offers no hands worthy
to accept the trust OF the government. Its
policy during the closing years of its power,
its blind and unrelenting opposition to re-
formatory measures while out of power, and
its refusal to accept the constitutional
amendments as fixed and final, demonstrate
this. Turning to the Administration. the
committee says that General Grant came
into Office pledged to maintain inviolate the
public faith, reduce the national debt, di-
minish taxation, appreciate the currency
reform abuses in the civil and military
service, and maintain order in the States
lately in rebellion. Without any increase
in the articles subject to taxation, or in the
rate of taxation, the revenues OF the fiscal
year ending thirtieth of June, 1870, were
nearly 5000, 900, against less than S3l,
100000 for the year ending thirtieth of
June, 1863, showing gain OF nearly $S,-
OOO 900.
On the other hand the expenses of the
fiscal year. 1870. were less than those of
1869 by more than 500, 100000, thus showing
an increased revenue and saving in expen-
ditures of more than $67 900, 900 in the first
fiscal year of General Grants administra-
ton. In the last sixteen months of Mr..
JOhnsOn's administration, the receipts from
customs and internal revenue were less than
$372, 0OO, 900. During the first sixteen
months Of General Grants administration
they were more than $469, 00O, 900, showing
an increase of nearly $97 100000. These are
pretty good reasons for supporting the
President. If Congress would offer as good
a record it would be well. They have in
deed, reduced taxes, but they lost the OPP
pOrtunity for doing a variety OF important
services to the country.

We clip the following from the New York
Commercial Advertiser:
1t has often been remarked that the
women of the South were more reckless
than the men in the rebellion They gave
an illustration of the intensity of feeling
that might animate political life, if women
were vested with the right Of suffrage.
They drove cautious husbands into re-
belliOn, and tagging lovers into the army.
Our soldiers found them unrelenting in
hatred, willing to sacrifice all the courte.
sizes of womanhood to their malice. Some
among them, however, seem to have been
wiser at the outset, and to have foreseen the
fatal issue of the strife. Mrs. Davis so it is re-
ported, was extremely reluctant to admit
an appeal to arms, and did all in her power
to restrain her husband from the conflict.
A correspondent makes the following state
ment:
Before the war broke out Mrs. Davis
came to a friend of mine who had influence
with jeff, and she said: "Mr. Davis is
going into this wild sort of war. The ante
cedents of all his family and of mine are with
the Union. For heavens sake, pursuade
him not to do this thing, but to keep the
matter political quarrel-not change it to
one Of blOOdshed."
1t was misfortune for Mr.. Davis that he
did not follow the wise counsels of his wife.
