I'M PO1TANT,

Every person liable to pay revenu,
tax should know that after June Isl
their cases will be turned over to thu
United States District Attorney, fol
prosecution, unless they have paid
their tax and have their annual license:
or tax paid receipts properly and con.
spicuously posted in their respective
places of business.
There can be no reasonable excuse
for negligence in this matter, as par.
ties liable have been repeatedly mott.
fed through the blanks sent them by
the Collector of Internal Revenue and
by public notice published in at least
one weekly paper in every county in
the United States.
The Assessors who have heretofore
travelled around and notified tax-pay-
ers of their liability, &c, have been
abolished,-the Department hereafter
presuming that every man shall be
supposed to know the law and willing
to comply with it unless DESTROYS of
mourning its penalties.
We hope our readers who know
themselves liable to pay tax will inn
mediatcly send their money to Collcc-
tor Council, at Toledo, Iowa, and thus
save themselves trouble and expense.

McEnery, as appears by our dis
patches of to-day, has issued mani
festo in which he arraigns the Presi-
dent for usurpation. following the lead
of Democratic papers generally. New
ertheless it has been over and over
again shown that he had nothing else
left him to do, except he assumed TO
overturn State governments upon his
own spse dist after both State and
Federal Courts had passed upon the
question. Had the President assumed
to declare upon his own Judgment
which was the legal government or
had he against the decisions of the
Courts, declared that neither was duly
chosen, then would Democracy have
howled and with cause. II would be
vain for any Republican Administra-
ton 70 satisfy that old party in the con.
duft OF the government These fac.
tionfsts are no more pleased now than
theY were when Mr. Lincoln called for
troops to defend the country against
their rebellion.

The New York Graphic says: "Our
Washington correspondent writes that
there are rumors of another impeach-
ment imbrogiio. 1t is said that chare-
cs are to be laid before Congress at its
next session, based upon what is term
ed the unfortunate habits of our Chief
Magistrate. Ifsuch project is really
on foot, and President Grant is prose
cuted for incompetence, it will simply
result in an increase of his popularity.
The American people will resent the
movement as an insult to their COM
mon sense. The President has shown
so much wise forethought in our do
nestle affairs, SO much temperance of
advice and action in foreign questions,
that it will be impossible TO persuade
the people that he is lazy sensualist.
The facts in his favor are SO stubborn
that NO skill of subterfuge can evade
them. The people are satisfied with
the administration, and, practically,
that is enough. The continued i'm
parchment of his private character has
created such sympathy that, aided by
the general approval Of his course, ii
has made him to-day the most popular
man in the United States"
