outrage perpetrated under such circum-
stances q? 1t is not pretended that these

render them particularly obnoxious, but
the abolitionists thought the occasion one
in which they could act out the real devil
try of their natures with safety. And it
turns out that so far they have not been
molested for their crimes. We trust,
however, the time is coming when they

The Albany Evening Journal, the New
ork Tribune, and the New York Inde-
pendent having discussed the "colored
suffrage question very much in the same
temper as Phillips, Sumner, Boutwell,, etc.
the Wisconsin, prominent republican
newspaper in Milwaukee, makes copious
extracts from them, and thus comments
thereon:


"The government has taken its position
against negro suffrage distinctly and une-
quivocally, just as President Lincoln did,
at first, against emancipation. But he had
to back down from it just as President
johnson will be obliged to in this CASE
From his course is now disapproved by the
leading presses and members Of the union
party, and is approved by the entire cop
perhead party. People may turn mp their
noses at the opposition of Wendell Phil
lips and men of his type But when such
men as Prof. Amasa Walker, of Boston,
take public issues with the president, and
the consciences and hearts, not only of the
religious bodies, but also Of the loyal press
and the loyal masses are opposed to the
president on this question, he must change
or be without party to support him, or
throw himself into the arms of the cop
perheads."


This agitation is commenced thus early
with a view Of controlling congress. 1t is
hoped that the president will call it to-
gether before the regular time of meeting,
and that it will attempt something decisive
against his plan Of reorganization. The
present congress is generally supposed to
be quite as radical as the last one, but We
appfehend it will shrink from contest
with P,esidcnt johnson He is not in the
habit OF backing bown, and those who
hope for an acceptance of Wht'ngism by
him will be sadly disappointed We shall
see if the conservative element in the re-
publican party will be bulhed into submis-
sion by the radicals. If it had sustained
President Lincoln against their assaults,
instead of cowardly joining with them,
there would not now be such boast of
triumph obtained over him from those
whose pressure was his grertest afflic>
ton during his administration, and that
which caused him the most serious en-
barassment.-C Chicago Times

erery available means that promised relief, but
without success. until they called upon Dr.. Do

announce this fact, because the Doctor is gen.

to establish his reputation, or 80 rear the super
structure of his own upon the ruin Of anothcrs
fame The Doctor conducts his Institute in such
a manner that must be gratifying to all his pl-
without charge, and the patient, after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
Measure. In no case dres the Doctor make
charge unless he effects a cure. This, he is able
to do. because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no DOUBT the consola-
tion which apperains to that confidence. Per-
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do well to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm, rs Tor consultation he asks no

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
yesterday made the following ruling: Section
40 Of the revenue law provides that there
shall be levied and collected duty of FIVE
per centum on all dividends in scrip or money
thereafter declared due, and whenever the
same shall be payable to stockholders policy
holders, or depositors, as part of the earn.
ings, income, or gains of any bank, trust
company" &C.; and further provides that
said banks, &c, shall pay said duty, and
are hereby authorized TO deduct and with
hold from all payments made on account OF
any dividends or sums Of money that may be
due and payable as aforesaid the said duty
Of hVe per centum, and pay the same to the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue"


Under this law is is clear that although
the surplus from which the dividend is de-
clared was acquired prior to the passage ofthe
revenue law, yet, if the same is divided after
the law went into effect, it is taxable.


The rule Is that the tax must be withhs,d A
from tho entire dividend whenever it be-
comes due and payable, without regard to
the time whom the profits or earnings were
acquired.
