There are sometimes trag-comic scenes
witnessed at "every well regulated" post of
fee. 1t is quite humorous scene, when the
mails are in. the schools just out, and the
ro't Office is filled to Overlooking first are
the little folks, small in stature, but with
wonderful capacity for making noise-and
what is boy worth if he can't make a noise
here in one corner, Tom and Harry are en-
gagged in the delightful pastime of pulling each
others hair, and seem to enjoy it immensely,
and here are a bevy of young misses, one of
whom is saying, snow don't. you tell for the
world" to which they all assent with sundry
jerks of the head, and here just in front of us
is Uncle John, asking Aunt Hannah" about
that ar sick child, and at our left two young
ladies are watching with expectant faces GER
tain boxes, to see if he has written. And
when the mail is distributed it is quite study
to watch the faces as the crowd pass out, from
the self-important office boy with his huge
budget, to the shy young widow with her sim
gle dainty missive. with now and then sad
face-yearning for words that do not come.
The dull, empty boxes have a meaningless
look about them now, but moment ago they
held the words of loving hearts and the issues
of important business relations.

TO the Citizens Of Augusta {:

Some months since there organized In New
YORK, a Comedy and Burlesque Company, comprls-
ing the first talent of the country, who played to
large and fashionable audiences for three months,
at Lima Edwin's Theatre, Broadway. At the termin-
alton of that engagement they proceeded to Boston
and took possession of the Adelphi Theatre, it be-
ing the intention of the management to make it the
standard theatre of the above city for the produc
ton of light Comedy and Buresque. After two
weeks of the most Hattering success, one of the
coolest nights of the past winter their beautiful
temple was burned to the ground, leaving the
Company without an abiding place: In this emery
ency they resolved to remain together and having
received offers of the most nattering engagements
from managers tho larger cities of New England
west OF Boston, they accepted and have appeared
in the cities of Hartford, New Haven, Springfield,
Providence, &c, to crowded and delighted au-
dience; indeed, the name of Mr.. John l.. Hall and
the corps of Artists under his management has
become as familiar as household words.
Mr. Hall purposes to establish circuit, appear
ing each city four times a year, and having
proved that the citizens of Augusta appreciate
legitimate and proper organization, he has con
cluded to revisit this city previous to the departure
of the Company for Halifax and St. Johns on the
18th of the present month.
Hoping our endeavors may meet with your sup
port and With the assurance upon our part that
everything shall be done to contribute to your en-.
joyment,
We remain the Pubc's most obedient Servants,

An IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court at Washington on Mon
day sustained the decision of the Circuit
Court for the District of Massachusetts,, that
the income tax upon judicial salaries was I'M
constitutional, the test case being that of Col
lector Burlington against Judge Day of Barn
stable. Massachusetts, County Probate Court.
The Supreme Court afirms Judgment for the
full amount claimed, holding that the Judicial
power of States is exempt from taxation. All
the ID States were in possession of this pow
er and exercising it at the time of the adop-
ton of the Constitution, and it is not pretend
ed that any grant of it was made to the Cen
eral Government by that instrument. 1t is,
therefore, one of the sovereign powers vested
in States by their constitutions, which remains
unaltered and unimpaired, and in respect of
which these States are as Independent of the
General Government as that Government is
independent of the States. The supremacy
of the General Government, therefore, can
not be maintained
The two Governments are upon an equality,
and the question is whether the power to levy
and collect taxes enables the general Govern
ment to tax the salary of judicial officers of
State, which officers are the instrumentalties
employed in conveying into execution its
most important functions. 1t is not held that
the mere establishment of a judicial depart
Inent ana tuc appointment OF OIlCeTS 10 Gu-
minister the laws, being among the reserved
powers of the States, disables the General
Government from levying a tax that depends
| upon the express power to levy and collect
taxes, but is regarded as showing that it is an
original inherent power never parted with,
and in respect of which the supremacy of the
| General Government does not exist. 1t is
said that this being the original reserved pow
er in the States, and judicial officer appoint
| ed under it being the means or instrumental
| ty employed to carry it into effect in th(
right and majesty of its unconfined exercise
and the exemption of the officer from taxation
| by the General Government stands upon al
solid ground, and is maintained by principle
and reasons as cogent as those which led t.
the exemption of federal officers from taxa
lion by States; for in respect to these resery
ed powers State is as sovereign and indie
pendent as the General Government. Justic
Bradley dissented. The Court also delivered
an opinion sustaining the constitutionalty 0
the cOntisoation act of July, 1862, and tina
the authority Of Congress to enact the Law
was undoubled Justices Field and Clifior
dissented, holding that the act was unconsti
tutional and void. The judgment of tn
Court of Claims was affirmed that uuder III
captured and abandoned property act subject
of Great Britain were entitled to sue in III
Court of Claims to recover for illegal an
wrongful seizure of their property.
Justice Nelson delivered the opinion.

Palmer. Messrs. Grinnell and Palmer in the
language of the President, will be removed.
Considerable debtae took place on the ques-

irregular and could not be acted upon to-day
according to the rules. He did not however,
take ground against the motions, nor did he
declare that he would vote against their con-
formation. Mr.. Conkling is excused to have
the nominations confirmed to-day. The Ian
