porter bottles it himself before sale he shall be
allowed to do 80 without placing stamps on the
puncheon. II, however, the importer sells it in
the puncheOn retails it therefrom then the pun
cheon must be stamped by the importer and the
purchaser must restamp the bottles.
The Globe Rolled Over.

failed to stand by him. When Congress can thus
control the publication of its proceedings let
them be 'cut down."
