REVENUE DECISION.
Commissioner Pleasanton decides that under
the recent decision of the supreme court, in the
case of Collector Butfinton against Probate
Judge Day, of Barnstable county, Mass, the
salaries of all the state.of1cers are exempt from
the income taxation.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
rive hundred claims have been filed before the
southern claims commission amounting to two
and one half millions of dollars. Of this num-
Der and this amount, it is not probable that a
twentieth part will be allowed, unless con-
gress hereafter extends the existing laws so
as to compensate loyal people in all states for
damages or depredations suffered during the oc-
cupaucy of their neighborhood by the United
States army, instead Of combining compensation,
as now, to cases where stores or supplies were
actually RENTED for the use Of the army.
THE LEGAL TENDER DECISION.
Full opinions of the majority and minority of
the supreme court on the legal tender case will
not be read on Monday, but will be reserved for
the adjourned term, which opens October 10th.
An elaborate opinion will, however, be read on
Monday, announcing the unanimous decision of
the court on the collateral point, sustaining the
validity of gold contracts made since the passage
of the legal tender act, in 1862
SEVERAL IMPORTANT CASES,
Argued this term, will not be decided until after
the constitutionality of the civil rights bill, of
the Drake amendment as to the effect in the
court Of claims of presidential pardons, and the
question of disputed rights to the property of
the Presbyterian church in the north and south.
The decision of the latter case is deferred, in
hope of amicable settlement by the church au-
thorities.

From New Orleans,

New ORLEANS, April 27.-Two colored grad
yates of Howard university, District of Column
bia, this morning made application to the SUI
preme court for admission to the bar of this
state. The application was refused, on the
ground that, xalthough the parties who have
practiced before the supreme court in any state
can be admitted, upon motion, before the court,
yet these candidates, coming from a territory,
do not come within the letter of the law, and
they will have to pass examination before a
committee appointed by the supreme court be-
fore they can be admitted to practice.

ST. LOUIS, April 27.-Three thousand Indians
are now at the Cheyenne agency, Indian terrific
former are very well disposed, but the latter
are discontinued, on account of the appearance
of surveying parties in the interest of railroad
corporations, the Indians being very much OPP
posed to the extension of railroads through
their country. Ten chiefs, representing the
principal tribes, have been invited to Washing
ton, and it is likely that the railroad question
will be discussed. Little Raven will go on be-
half of the Arapahoes, ami Little Robe or Wild
Horse will represent the Cheyennes. Should
the chiefs refuse to attend the proposed confer.
ence in Washington, trouble may be feared this
summer.

Invitations to the first annual target shoot and
supper of company B, State Guard, have been
issued and the festivities will take place on
Tuesday next. The excellent appearance of the
company at the drill meeting, on Wednesday
night, gives promise of a successful and pleas
ant affair.
The evening was such rainy one that people
prophesed a poor house at the theatre last
night; but they were wrong. The audience was
q larger one than the majority of companies
that come this way draw. The play of the
Octoroon has enough of the desperate, thrilling,
pathetic and improbable in it to please many,
even if it is not fresh.

COUNTY NEWS.

Mrs. Lydia Mead, of North Brookfeld, died
on the Goth, at the remarkable age of one hun
dred and two years and five months.
Dr.. c. Freeland, one of the practising ply
sicians of Fitchburg, died at his residence on
Sunday last, after long and painful illness, at
the age of thirty-nine years.
The selectmen of West Brookfeld offer re-
ward of 5000 for the detection and conviction of
the burglar who entered the store of A. c. & J.
Gleason on the night of the goth, and the
Messrs. Gleason 500 more for the recovery of
the money.
A FIRE broke out in the house of Mr. Benjamin
Wilder, in the Centre village of Winchendon,
about ten O'Clock on Tuesday. The house was
wholly destroyed, and 1t was with great Difficult.
tv that other buildings in the vicinity were saved.
The house was insured at the Fitchburg mutual
for $500.
The Ftchburg Reveille says that "the beer
saloon of B. Sherry, of Leominster, was en-
tirely cleaned out on the night of the oath. The
contents consisted of beer and cigars, with the
ordinary fixtures fsuch place, and were either
destroyed or thrown into an adjoining pond.
He estimates his loss at about $500. There IS
considerable speculation in regard to the motive
prompting the act, it not generally being be-
lieved as done by temperance people. Some say
minors have been in the habit of drinking there
and that it has been threatened on that account,
while others think it done to create little ex-
citement. We understand he is not to be scared
out, but will proceed with the business, which,
under the present law, there is a question in re-
gard to its being illegitimate."

wife. The old man then entered the barn, where
the son followed him. When the son entered
