coughed OIL The secretisns are offensive, causing
a bad breath the voice thick and nasal the

William II. Prichart, of St. Louis, has
sued the Collector Of Revenue in that city
to recover the amount paid as income tax
for last year. In his petition he states the
facts of the assessment and payment of the
tax, and concludes as follows:


Plaintiff further states that said tax SO
levied upon his income gains and profits
for the year 1866 is a direct tax, and as
such il is levied in violation of the consti,
tuition of the United States, and partie9-
larly in violation Of the third paragraph Of
section one of article one, and of the fourth
paragraph of the ninth section of said
article. That taxes levied upon the in

the acts of Congress under which defend
ant assumes to act, and under which de-
fendant has assumed to demand and forcibly
TO collect the said tax from plaintiff, have
never been apportioned among the several
States included within the Union, accord
ing to their respective numbers, nor have
they been levied in proportion to the
census and enumeration of inhabitants as
required in said constitution; and the tax
aforesaid assessed against plaintiff and for
the payment whereof said levy was made is
illegal and void, That said tax being thus
unconstitutional, illegal and void, and the
payment Of the same having been obtained
from plaintiff by duress and seizure and

ing no right to demand the same, plaintiff

A CARD.-In 1861 Morton discontinued the
discount formerly given to the JobbinS Trade,
and ignoring the services of middle men, has
sold his pens either directly to those who use
them or to such as keep them on hand for the
better supply of the writing public In their
own localities There may be Jobbers who
have spoken in favor of the Morton Pen since
that time, but, if so, their remarks have never
in a single instance reached his ear; and
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the beat pens in the world, and used
to do so, they nevertheless put forth great
excrtions to show that the Morton Pen has de-
preciated in value, is not what it formerly was,
and that those which they vend are equal, If not
superior; now since many Retail Dealers obtain
what little they know of pens as well as the pens
themselves, entirely from the Jobbers, people are
apt to be misled by their representations.


In order that the public may judge correctly,
and mt the same time see how much pans
taking is exercised to give every one who orders.
Just such pen as will exactly suit his hand,
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands,
throughout the entire country, who have re-
ceived his pens through the mails during that
time, and also calls particular attention to the
following letter which has accompanied every
pen sent. -.

After time it became custom In
some of these rollicking clubs for each
member to contribute penny a week

relief of the poor and more especially to

These clubs were private like the So

In reference to the Election Commits
tee of the credentials of the Kentucky
representatives, the House acted with
common sense. Mr. Bingham said that
when person offers credentials under
the great seal af State he is entitled to
admission unles specific objection we're
made. Mr.. Boutwell, took substantially
the same ground, and the House ordered
the reference, except in the case of one
representative who had served IN the
National army.


OF Mr. James Brooks's eulogy of the
loyalty of Kentucky it is enough to say,
that if every other State had been loyal
in the same way the rebellion would have
uuquestionably succeeded. And it is for
that reason especially that when any man
presents himself as a representative from
Kentucky, and objection is made upon
the ground of disloyalty, there should be
the most careful inquiry into the facts
There is indeed presumption against
the loyalty of every man who is elected
by great Democratic majority in Ken
tucky; and the presumption is based
upon the fact that Kentucky contributed
about as many of her voting class to the
rebel army as tn ours, and that the rebel
sympathizers and soldiers were of the
Democratic party. Moreover, the gen.
eral character of the candidates chosen
by that party at the last election is noto-
rious, They were not selected for fidelity
to the Union. They were Intentionally
taken from among those who if, not open
rebels were acceptable to those who were
1t was in Kentucky as it is in Tennessee.
The open, known, conspicuous, devoted
friends of the Union, supporters of the
war and Congress during and since the
war, are upon one side; the opponents
of the war, the known rebels and their
supporters, those who deny that slavery
is abolished and who openly honor the
rebel chiefs and scoff at President Lin
coin, are upon the otbe side, aud that
the Democratic. Facts in themselves
unimportant like the last become, taken
with others, of the utmost significance.


Congress would be lacking in the com.
mon sense which every capable man
ST ows in the conduct of his private affairs
if in the present situation of the country
it did not receive every representative
from such constituency with suspicion.
If there were no objection urged from
the State itself it would not be indeed
wise to act upon presumption but if
there were distinct charges they should
be most vigorously examined.-Ha,per's

in the First Ward, that influences
were at work to secure the election of
