EMPORIA NEWS.
= :
FRIDAY. AUGUST 4. 1871.
THE REASON WHY.


William, Prince ofOrange, was SON.
in-law of James IL, of Englend. The
measures of his father-in-law
James IL, in 1858, excited his ambition.
Yielding to desire for portion of the
British nation, he landed with a small
force at Brixham, November 4, 1888,
and after few skirmishes, dispcssessed
King James III. Of his throne. Himself
and his wife, Mary, were acknowledged
King and Queen of England, and were
crowned April ii, 1859; but, though
hailed as a deliver and friend by the
English, Ireland still remained attached
to the fortunes OF the fugitive James.
With his usual activity, William crossed
to i roland, and there again encountered
his father-in-law, who had landed in
Ireland from France, and who was sup
ported by French force. The BATTLE
of the Boyne, July u, 1859, completed
the ruin of James IL, who retired In
dismay to France, and left his rival, his
son-in-law, William, Prince of Orange
in the peaceful possession of the Eng
lish throne. William, Prince of Orange
was a protestant-his father-in-law,
James II, was a Catholic and that is
why the great riot occurred in New
York on the 18th instant, when so many
lives were lost

| there can be no more political campaigns
| fought on the issues of the last few wears,
| They are dead, and if the Democratic party
refuses to move to the front and accept the
new order of things it will simply pass
away, and some other party, made up OF
| the earnest and progressive elements of old
parties, will take possession OF the Govern
| inent. When asked If he did not think the
| campaign of 1872 would be fought on the
present issues, he said it may be under
taken by our party, but it will fail. n year
ago Grant gave promise of his intention to
lead the Republican party with new de-
purt ,ire, and he would have done it, but
The gang of old politicians ut Washington
held him back and scared him with S'lDble
about defeat until he went square back into
The old rut.
"Grant is all honest man, and would do
right if the politicians would let him, but
that they will not do. He took the back
track on the San Domingo question, on

TAX ON BANK AND RAILROAD DIVIDENDS.
We have been requested to call attention
again to the legislation Of Congress in rcla-
ton to the internal revenue tax on the in
tcreSt or coupons, dividends, undiStributcd
profits, etc, of banks, railroad companies,
canal companies, etc, which has been the
subject of contrary decisions by the COM
missioner Of Internal Revenue and the At
torncy. General. Under the provisions of
the act of Congress approved July II, 1870,
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue de-
rdcd that OH SO much interest as accrued
within the last five (5) months of 1870 no
tax whatever is to be withheld" The At
torncy-Gcncral on the 18Th Of May, 1871,
reversed the decision, and states that the
tax OH "intcrest or coupons" paid on
bonds or other evidences of debt, imposed
by the 10Th section Of The act of July II,
1870, is applicable to interest paid subsc-
ullcnt to August /, 1910, and prior to JAN
,lary l, 1871 also, - the tax OIL dividends
of earnings, incomes. or gains, imposed by
the same section, is applicable to dividends
declared sub cGucntly TO August l, 1870,
aud prior to january l, 1871" and that as
SCISSORS and collectors will govern them
selves accordingly.

n New ENTERPR1sE-The Patent Un,-
6rcild.-Mr. Walter Watson. of Fayettc-
vile, N. G., has just obtained u patent for
notable improvements in the frames of UNI
brellas and parasols, and he designs visit
in" Richmond soon to see If he can find
enough enterprise here to join him in cs-
tablishing Il factory for the manufacture of
umbrellas and parasols on Il large scale,
| under his patent. Should he not succeed
! in obtaining the proper encouragement in
this city, he will carry his invention further
North.
The main features in this patent UNI
brella frame (of which we have seen full
drawings seem to be that it utterly dis
pcnscs with wires and rivcts and the
weakening effects of the latter; is easily
taken apart and put together, and is so
durable that one of them will oltlaSt {;
number of covers. The joints are form
ed by balls ut the ends of the ribs and
braces, which work in sittcd spherical
cavities prepared to receive thcm-no
part, either in the staff, ribs, or
braces having to be weakened by holes
for wire or riyet. Should Il part by any ac-
cillcnt break, it can be readily removed and
new one substituted. The inventor is Il
practical man, and he has found on expert
mcnt that he can manufacture his frame as
chcaply as the present bunglin", frlil, aud
unsatisfactory frame can he made, il not
cheaper. The new umbrella has so many
obvious advantages over the old style thlt
it is bound to utterly supcrccde it. Unl-
brcllas and parasols are not merely lnNu-
ricS, they have become nccesSarics through
out the civilized globe, and are in steady
demand ut all seasons everywhere. When
we can get them of Il kind that gives Us full
assurance that they will not be wretched
wrecks The day after we purchase them,
people will begin to look upon the THEFT Of
them rs Il larceny. and we may retain i
property in i'll article that will always be
ready for rain or shine.
Mr.. Watson, we learn, has taken the me-
ccssary steps To have his excellent invcn-
ton patented in England.

ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF BIGAMY.-On
Wednesday night officers Graham and
Bush arrested Louis &. Contarini, late OF
Matteawan, on 4 charge of bieamy, and
committed him to Jail. About Il year ago
be married u young lady Of this city, Miss
Mary Is. Distin, and at the same time had
another wife, who Is now living either in
New York or Brooklyn. The arrest was
made at the house Of his wife's father.
Contarini had been over the river, and was
closely watched by the above officers, who
ut the proper time naObed him. The proof
against hum is said to be positive, and
nothing can save him from State priS0n0

corder Taylor on Friday morning ut
'clock.-Poughkeeps Eagle.
The last Mrs. Contarini has had sus.
picions of the fact mentioned above for u
month or two. In the latter part of May
she called upon us and stated her sus-
picions, and also that he had previously
been married to u Richmond lady, but who
she had reason to believe was dead. As we
were about to visit Richmond, we prom
ised TO make inquiries, and so had All inter-
view with Mr. Cowardin, editor of the DIS
patch, who stated to us that Conturmi had
married Il lady there, but us far rs he could
learn from her friends she was dead. he
Also tUOusnG SOUtaTlili ~ I'LL aufenLufCr,
and stated how he had tl0urished about rs
Il Confederate major. Among other do
Jugs, he went to one of the best tailors
in Richmond and ordered full ma jor's
uniform, but when it was completed he
hadn't the money to pay for it, and the TAI
lor refused to trust him, so he had to fOrego
his anticipated "spread." He also pre-
tended to practice medicine. MIR. Cowar-
din had lost sight of him for several years,
and only recently learned he was ut the
North.
Fridays Eagle says Miss Distin's father is
pushing the prosecution with yigor, he
having full proof that ut The time Contarini
married his daughter he had wife In
Brooklyn. The latter, hearing of his mar
rying Miss Distin, sought for divorce,
which was granted her in February last.
The Eagle adds:
sou Thursday an officer proceeded to
brooklyn to serve subpoena upon the
Brooklyn wife to appear here this Friday
morning before Recorder Taylor TO give
evidence in the case, when it is expected
important developments will be made."-
